CANADIAN ATTACK ON MNN AT CORNWALL BORDER CROSSING

Elder Abuse? Yes!

Anti-Indigenous violence? Yes!

Anti Free Speech? Yes!

ATTEMPTED MURDER??? Maybe.

A consistent pattern of violence? Definitely.

Exclusive to MNN by Ieriwa’on:ni [“Her thoughts become the way”]

This report has been written in consultation with family members and with direct witnesses to the events described.

The rumours circulating on the internet are true. MNN has been forced to suspend its reporting and investigative work because of a vicious and unprovoked attack on some of its principal writers, investigators and managers. MNN’s website was also attacked and was reportedly down for three days.

MNN WOULD LIKE TO THANK EVERYONE WHO WANTS THE TRUTH.

Test Biomass Harvests Yield Important Lessons

MINNEAPOLIS – June 19 – A series of test forest biomass harvests from the Superior National Forest in northeastern Minnesota indicate that such harvests could reduce the cost of fire prevention management while providing work for loggers and fuel for renewable energy facilities.

The findings were released today in the study, “Harvesting Fuel: Cutting Costs and Reducing Forest Fire Hazards Through Biomass Harvest,” coauthored by Don Arnosti (Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy), Dr. Dalia Abbas (University of Minnesota) and Dr. Michael Demchik (University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point). Biomass is material in the forest not traditionally utilized in pulpwood or sawtimber markets, such as shrubs, small-diameter trees, tree branches, and coarse woody debris.
