My retraction of certain statements made about UltimateBet and Joe Norton
 Cornell Fiji's retraction postChief Norton,Sorry for taking so long to make this post but your lawyers sent the letter to my oldaddress.---I would like to publicly retract the statement that I made calling Chief Joe Norton "one of the greatest Canadian organized crime figures in the 20th century."I would also like to publicly retract the statement that Chief Norton was the "center of many organized crime operations" and the implication that he was involved in "gunrunning, drug trafficking, illegal tobacco production and trade, money laundering, taxevasion and tax fraud"I tried my best to keep all opinion out of my previous posts as I sought to only restate thefacts as I had learned through my research. My research led me to believe that membersof the Kahnawake tribe were involved in gun running, drug trafficking, illegal tobacco production and trade, money laundering, tax evasion and tax fraud. It has been a littlewhile since I engrossed myself in learning about the Kahnawakes so I might haveforgotten where some of the evidence is but upon a quick review of a sample of thearticles that I have saved it seems that there is less evidence to back up my claims of thefinancial crimes than there is of the other crimes. Upon the threat of a lawsuit I wouldhave to say that I do not have enough evidence of money laundering, tax evasion, or taxfraud to cover my ass in court so I would like to publicly retract my statement that theKahnawake's were involved in those crimes unless I can find the links to support thoseclaims.Furthermore, in my previous comments I sometimes associated the 8,000 member Kahnawake indian tribe with its chief of twenty years when in fact they are not one andthe same. I should have stated that members the Kahnawake tribe partook in the crimeslisted above and that Chief Norton was the head of their organization; I should not havestated that Chief Norton was the head of an organization committing those crimes.Like I have previously stated, I have not done any first hand research into the tribe or itsactivities. All that I know about the tribe and the crimes that its members allegedly partook in is gleaned from the sources linked below. Unfortunately, I have lost some of the links from my research but if any of my comments about alleged illegal activity arenot backed up in the links below please let me know and I will try to find more evidenceof the alleged crimes.Chief Norton, please let me know if there is anything else that you would like me to publicly clarify on your behalf.Steve
 
Police rivalry wrecks Kahnawake raid
(windspeaker news; pro native source) 10/97http://www.ammsa.com/windspeaker/WIN...anchor10930936 Notice how they brag about and take pride in their coverups.Quote:Members of the elected Kahnawake council took action to prevent a joint Royal CanadianMounted Police/ Montreal Urban Community police operation on their territory, thwartinga raid that the RCMP believe would have yielded important evidence about smuggling andmoney laundering. The raid was to have been a key part of a massive police operationwhich resulted in the arrest of 30 people and seizures valued at over $100 million.You might recognize Joe Norton who was mentioned in this coverup, he is now theowner of AP/UBQuote:An RCMP spokesman in Montreal said that raids scheduled for Sept. 10 on Kahnawake properties owned by Matthew "Watio" Lazare were cancelled after council members told police that news of the upcoming raids had been leaked.Councillors urged government and police officials to cancel the raids, saying the policeofficers' safety had been compromised by the leak.But a Montreal Gazette story published several days after the fact revealed that Lazare andhis associate Bryan Jacobs did not know about the planned raid. The story suggests thatChief Joe Norton and his council took steps to prevent the raid for political reasons andmisled the off-reserve police services in order to prevent the raid.Quote:The Mounties allege that the organizations involved "individuals related to outlawmotorcycle gangs, and dealt with various aspects of organized crime, namely: selling and buying bootleg alcohol, dealing in and possession of stolen goods, fraud, drug importationand trafficking, counterfeiting, bribery of federal public servants, alcohol cigarette andtobacco smuggling."Because of the huge amounts of money involved in the criminal activity alleged by theRCMP and the appearance that the council shielded Lazare from the outside authorities,the perception is that the council must somehow be involved in some of the criminalactivity. The Kahnawake council member who holds the policing portfolio is Chief PhillipJacobs. He hotly denies the council is shielding Lazare but he said he knows where thatidea came from.
