REPRINT ABOUT A GREAT HERO THAT WALKED AMONG US: GILBERT MARTIN- CREOLE EXTRAORDINAIRE

American Creole Indian Nation Salutes a Great Warrior Of Our People I have always known Gilbert Martin to be a painfully honest and fortright man. His answers to my questions and his encouragements within the darkness, were and shall always be priceless to me now and in the future. He was an honorable warrior of his people at all times and in all places.

E PLURIBUS UNUM

You remain dearly missed, Great Leader.

Gilbert Martin, the greatest Militant Creole of the USA

It was with very much grief and sadness that I learned from my dear friend Marion that Gilbert Martin passed away on 19th November 2005. While many would say that the Creole community have seen many militants among its ranks, among whom your obedient servant, I would, without reserve and hesitation admit that that I am a baby as compared to the way Gilbert Martin fought to position the Creole culture in the USA and on the world stage.

While many would associate Louisiana with the birth and development of Creolism in the USA , the history of Creolism cannot be written without a special mention to Gilbert Martin. Gil was born and grew up in the seventh ward of New Orleans and spent most of his adulthood there. He saw the city grew up and even participated in its development having been in the construction industry. Even though he was a black man, he always assert himself as a French Creole and maintain that black, white or colored Creoles have always been a free and much a l’avant garde of the other communities. He advocated that the USA government should recognize the identity and uniqueness of the Creole people and that the Louisiana Purchase Treaty was fraud and illegal as it did not respect some of its clauses when it relates to the people. If the Treaty was to be enforceable it should have compensated for the lost of all privileges that the Creoles enjoyed prior to the American taking over the state of Louisiana. (Please see his article on LPT).

Gilbert has, throughout his life, and until his death, defied the USA establishment that Creoles should still feel free and not abide to the USA laws as they are still an independent nation. He set the example by going as far suing the USA government for breach of the LPT contract and asking for compensation.

Well before any structure was set up in Louisiana, Gilbert created the International French Creole society. When I asked him why “international” he explained that he knew that Creoles did not only exist in the USA only, but that there were creoles in Haiti and in the West Indies. He was expecting to connect with them one day. His wishes and dream started to materialize when I met Mario for the first time at the 2004 Creole convention organized by the CHC of Natchitoches in Las Vegas. Marion who saw my sincerity and dedication said that I should meet her friend Gilbert Martin, a Creole pioneer who is unfortunately old and living in a nursing home in California. I was overwhelmed but as I was already scheduled to go to New Orleans, I postponed that appointment for later. As soon as I got back to Australia , Gilbert and I started to communicate via e-mail. I was surprised how he so skillfully mastered the communication technology and how his mind was still very alert; I discovered a man of high intellect and sincerity. There was no doubt for me that that I had to meet that man and wanted more people to know about him and hear what he had to say. This was to be realized with the Symposium of Las Vegas. It was on 18th May 2005 at Tuscany Hotel that we met for the first time and I could not describe how I was pleased to dinner with him and we talked and talked. Gilbert was indeed an old and frail man but he still spoke with much conviction and told me that we creoles should never give in and that we have to keep our culture alive. I was never tired of listening to all these anecdotes and how he always rocked the boat and always told them an African American but a French Creole. He was not happy to see that the Cajuns had highjacked the Creole cuisine and music. He always talked about the LPT and the book of Grace King or how he dragged, nurtured and educated Terrell Delphin into Creolism. He had great dream for a Creole institute which was to be set up in California. He drew a parallel with the fight of the Red Indians and that Creoles should also have the land and a big casino. He had a dream for the Creoles of the USA and the world to be a great nation where the other civilizations and culture would recognize us as well.

These words are just a few as there could be enough to say about his life which could be a best seller, but as he has always been humble and fought alone most of the time against all odds, even against the critics of Creoles like him who might have misinterpreted his action or again did not give him much consideration because he was black, but all I can assure Creoles al over the world that I have been close enough to him to know that he was never a racist and has always thought of Creole as a Cultural entity and a people regardless of colour or class.

May he rest in peace but let his legacy lives on.

CREOLE TREATY RIGHTS

Creole Treaty Rights
An article from Gilbert Martin



On November 30, 1803, according to stipulations in the Louisiana Purchase Treaty and by formal action, the French rendered the entire Louisiana Territory an absolutely free country. And it remained that way until circa 1818, when the legislature of the newly formed state of Louisiana ruled otherwise. By those acts, in deliberate violation of the LPT, Louisiana became just another Jim Crow State in the Deep South.

At the time of the American takeover of the vast Louisiana Territory, tens of thousands of people with lineage to Africa were among the inhabitants. Some were free, but most were slaves. Nevertheless, neither free or slave was ever apprised of their treaty rights. Consequently, both the so-called free people of color and the slaves were forced to suffer the realities of degradation, hostility, and other forms of inequities brought about segregation, discrimination, racism and bigotry. Naturally, an undercurrent of resentment against the Americans flowed throughout the Creole community. And that resentment did not began to abate until after World War II. Prior to that war, the older Creoles did not refer to themselves as Americans.

They considered it an offense should anyone else referred to them as Americans. I saw many older Creoles spit on the ground after mentioning the word "Merican."

As a young Creole growing up during the Great Depression and the Jitterbug era, I didn’t know why my elders hated Americans so much. I was having fun. That did not concern me. So, it would be many decades before I would began to question the origin of my culture. I was fifty years old when my quest began. And another decade would past before I would come across a copy of the Louisiana Purchase Treaty. After reading the third article of the treaty, I finally understood why my people were so bitter. So, out of respect for them, I have been trying to bring the United States Government, and the state of California to task for treaty violations. Now, I would like the general public to find out about our plight under American domination.

Enclosed please find a copy of the letter I sent to Kevin Shelly, Secretary of State of California. I would like to have this information published, either in its entirety, in parts, or you may simply write about it. I feel that it’s very important for the Creole community, especially our young, to be apprised of our treaty rights, and to take this information seriously. I feel that it’s time for young Creoles to get involved. My struggle for authoritative recognition for Creole people has passed its third decade. Now, I am tired and should be taking it easy.

However, as a retired master builder, general contractor, and former member of the American Arbitration Association, I see the violation of the Louisiana Purchase Treaty as being the biggest blunder the United States has ever made. The U.S. received 908,380 square miles of territory for $15 million and to provide and guarantee to us, civil and special rights as stipulated in Article III of the treaty. But up until now, the federal government has been acting as if the Louisiana Purchase Treaty is a unilateral instrument. Contrarily, the LPT is a bilateral instrument and must be regarded as such.

Therefore, I have chosen to stand on the opposite, and uncontested, side of the LPT. Therefore, I am calling upon the federal government and all state governments to acknowledge their legal obligations under the LPT, and to repair any and all damage for any and all infractions thereof. Please provide me with whatever help that you can. If there is any question you would like me to answer, or any subject that you would like me to address, don’t hesitate to contact me.

Also, I have enclosed a copy of the certified letter that I sent to Bill Lockyer, Attorney General for the state of California.

Yours truly,

Gilbert E. Martin

These heinous acts occurred under the auspices and direction of academic adults charged with the safety and education of our American Creole children.

This public trust was severely violated. Arkansas State Prosecutor Larry Jegley has ignored the blatent criminal evidence against these corrupt officials, even though the Arkansas Department of Education has provided him with ALL of the proof he could ever need.

Instead, he only prosecutes two TOKEN criminal student participants and let's all the others go so they can cover up the REAL crime:

Any statement(s) in response to this notice MUST carry the exact same attestation or shall not be acknowledge as a valid and credible response to this valid notice now in force.

In light of the following, please find that it is a:

1. Fact, that in the presence of Mediator Nancy W. Mathews, Defendant Shaneka Cloud did confess and implicate co-gang member Sholanda Gilliam, to being both members of the street and school gang C.A.S.H. (Check All Silly Hoes), of which she gang imported Louisiana interstate to Arkansas and established with “three members”. She also admits fighting for her “sisters” in Louisiana.

2. Fact, Defendant did stipulate to and verbally waived contest of Complainant Serenity Goodwin’s accounting of the events in question.

3. Fact, Defendant did admit to developing the idea to commit her assault against Complainant after she believed Complainant was associated with a “rumor” at Fuller Middle School.

4. Fact, Defendant did confess to initiating by confronting Complainant Alex Goodwin and issued threats of violence to both him as well as his sister, Complainant Serenity Goodwin.

5. Fact, Defendant did confess to then confronting Complainant Serenity Goodwin at the bus stop with additional threats of physical harm.

6. Fact, when confronted with evidence, Defendant did stipulate that she did indeed make additional threats to physically harm Serenity Goodwin in the presence of three employees of Fuller Middle School.

7. Fact, Mother of Complainants did indeed give an accounting of additional threats of physical harm against said Complainants.

8. Fact, Defendant did stipulate that she was indeed present when explicatives and threats of murder, “Bitch, we’re gonna’ slit yo’ throat!”, were being yelled from a moving vehicle being driven by a male. She further verbally implicated her “sister”/co-gang member as uttering the actual death threat to “slit Complainant’s throat”.

9. Fact, Defendant did offer that she did no want to “fight” the Complainant but she was obligated by her “sister”/co-gang member Sholanda Gilliam.

10. Fact, Defendant did implicate Sholanda Gilliam as the initiator of all threats on the bus and Defendant claims that she simply laughed in support of her “sister’s” threats.

17. Fact, Aunt then backpedaled and futilely attempted to recant her questionable statements that directly implicated the Fuller Middle School Administration. After Mediator verbally disagreed with Aunt of Defendant’s questionable statements, Mediator ordered the Complainants out of the room. When the Complainants returned, The Aunt of the Defendant then attempted to request that all statements made by her that implicated the Fuller Middle School Administration remain in the room, and struck from record. She expressed a concern that they (Fuller Middle School Administration) might become aware of her “slip of the lip” before being summarily stopped by the Mediator in her effort to prevent the Aunt of Defendant from implicating third parties even further as it pertains to their motives. In summary, advising the Defendant to remain silent about that specific matter of the mediation, outside of Mediator charge. [You know, PRACTICING LAW (in a very anti-Creole sorta' way) in a so-called mediation. Hint- that's illegal both FED & State]

18. Fact, Defendant additionally indicated that her motivation for harming Complainant, Serenity Goodwin was the defensive marks that her “sister” Sholanda received upon her face in their attempt to seriously harm Complainant, Serenity Goodwin.

ACTION

I, Stacey Goodwin find that in light of the lack of remorse and refusal to cease threats to commit 1st degree murder against my only daughter by repeated threats to “slit” her throat, please find the following:

1. We fully intend to press forward with the State criminal prosecution of Shaneka Cloud & Sholanda Gilliam including but not limited to how it relates to her documented gang activities and her participation in the Fuller Middle School Gang Cover-up and her various felonious activities associated. Ms. Mathews, please refer this case to Terry forthwith as promised.

2. In light of the documented threats to commit murder against Serenity Goodwin, I shall be filing additional State and Federal Complaints against the other identified participants as it pertains to these matters including recommendations for criminal/civil investigations specifically and generally of Fuller Middle School Administration, including but not limited to aiding/abetting delinquency of minors, criminal/civil negligence and criminal/civil RICO.

3. Mediator, I fully expect you to comply with all Federal and State statutes mandating you to immediately report all threats of harm as evidenced this day. I shall be contacting you in one business day to confirm that said actions have been implemented forthwith.

Again, thank you in advance.
Stacey Goodwin, pro per 1-07-05

Dear Ms. Goodwin:

On May 12, it was brought to the attention of the mediation program that your web blog includes references to the details of the mediation that you participated in on January. Mediation in the State of Arkansas is confidential, according to state law.

Additionally, in the Agreement to Mediate that was discussed and that you signed at the start of the mediation, you agreed to keep the mediation discussions confidential. A blank copy of the Agreement to Mediate and a copy of Arkansas’s mediation confidentiality statute are attached.

The confidentiality exception referenced by the Agreement to Mediate refers to the fact that the mediator may but is not required to report on threats of harm made during the mediation. Discussions regarding any previous threats are protected by the confidentiality statute.

Therefore, your internet publication of specifics of the mediation is in conflict with the statute and the Agreement to Mediate. We respectfully ask that you[r] remove any mention of mediation discussions from the blog. We also ask that you refrain from all future publication or discussions from your blog. We also ask that you refrain from all future publication or discussion of the mediation. You may comment on the incidents that happened that led to the mediation, or your reaction to the mediation, but not what occurred during mediation.

If you have any questions regarding the law or the Agreement to Mediate, please contact our office.

Sincerely,

Kelly Browe Olson

[OK, that was Jim Crow interesting...but, what about your mediator practicing law up-in-there, pretty ONE-SIDED to me, hungh? Ain't that just a TAD bit illegal (State & Fed BTW)?

And WHY was this OBVIOUS gang victim case SENT over to you guys anyway (cover-up?) when it should have been vigorously PROSECUTED FORTHWITH AS REQUIRED BY STATE L-A-W-S?

[AH, The invisible American Creole Indian thang ONCE again, yep, that's what me thinks. We're here!]

Innocent People Aren’t Required To Identify Themselves, And Police Have No Authority To Arrest Them

-Qualified immunity protects public officials “from liability for civil damages insofar as their conduct does not violate clearly established statutory or constitutional rights of which a reasonable person would have,” the court said, adding that the trooper “acted contrary to the plain meaning” of the state statute.


...hmm, makes sense to me, I wonder what Pulaski County Sheriff's Office thinks about that?

8th Circuit Federal Court Of Appeals Rules That Innocent People Aren’t Required To Identify Themselves, And Police Have No Authority To Arrest Them If They Don’t

Posted by Admin
Published in ARKANSAS

LITTLE ROCK, AR - A police officer does not have the authority to arrest someone for refusing to identify himself when he is not suspected of committing a crime, a federal appeals panel ruled Friday.

The decision by a three-judge panel of the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in St. Louis reversed an Arkansas federal judge’s ruling and ordered a new hearing in a Benton County man’s lawsuit challenging his arrest for refusing to show his identification during a traffic stop.

Yellow Cab Program Keeps Drunk Drivers Off Streets

posted 5:38 pm Thu November 29, 2007 -

Little Rock from Channel 7 -

http://www.katv.com/news/stories/1107/476670.html

Little Rock’s Yellow Cab opened a brand new headquarters Thursday, and announced a year-long initiative aimed at keeping drunk drivers off the streets.

In 2005, more than 200 Arkansans died in alcohol-related accidents. Yellow Cab Company hopes to lower those numbers with its Safe Ride Home program.

It is a problem bars and restaurants like Gusano's face year-round, but especially during the holidays--what to do with customers too drunk to drive home.

So when Gusano's heard about Yellow Cab Company's Safe Ride Home Program, the restaurant knew it wanted to participate.

(Samuel Johnson, Gusano’s Head Bartender) "I think it will keep people who are intoxicated off the streets--it's safer for the community, and it's better all around for everyone."

Announced during Thursday's grand opening of Yellow Cab's new headquarters, Safe Ride Home will operate throughout the year, and offer a free cab ride home to restaurant and bar patrons who have had too much to drink.

Here's how it works: Either the customer or manager can request the cab service. The customer's keys are placed in a Safe Ride Home envelope and given to the cab driver, who will return them when the customer is dropped off at their home.

For Yellow Cab, the program is a community service.

(Ellis Houston, Yellow Cab) "We're looking at all the various things we can do, and this came right to the forefront of something we can give back to the community that has supported us."

Representative of Mothers Against Drunk Driving call the program a great resource.

(Teresa Belew, MADD) "It's wonderful that a corporate partner would come forward--with a program that they don't have to do--in order to save lives in a community."

Safe Ride Home will be available at various restaurants and bars throughout Little Rock and North Little Rock.
