Arlo Looking Cloud and Leonard Peltier on Trial Again

by Janis Schmidt (courage [at] gwtc.net)
The FBI needed a good reason for being on the Reservation. Killing 2 agents provided them with the reason.









ARLO LOOKING CLOUD, WHAT REALLY HAPPENED TO ANNA MAE

The only time anyone is interested in Arlo Looking Cloud, is to kick him around like a political football, and abuse him. Now that John Graham is coming back to stand trial for the murder of Anna Mae Pictou Aguash, Arlo is of prime interest to the FBI again. And they want to abuse him, brainwash him, threaten him, even kill him if he doesn't do as he is told, and just agree to Bob's dream about the little red car going all around the Reservation.

Arlo was used by the FBI to coverup the real killers of Anna Mae Pictou Aguash. I have studied the trial transcript and find that the facts that the Government brings out, have very little to do with Arlo. The trial was intended to manufacture evidence against AIM leaders, such as Leonard Peltier and Dennis Banks, to help the FBI prove them guilty of killing Anna Mae.

If Bob Ecoffey can mastermind a story for the FBI, then I can come in Arlo's defense and tell the story that really happened. First of all, we need to get our facts straight.

1. Arlo was not a member of AIM.
2. Arlo was not at the Farmington, New Mexico, AIM meeting, where plans were made to return to South Dakota to help defend Lakotas agains Wilson's GOON's who were terrorizing people.
3. Arlo did not know Anna Mae.
4. Arlo had no relationship with Dennis Banks, Leonard Peltier, Russell Means, Vernon and Clyde Belcourte, or Kamook Darlene Nichols.
5. Arlo grew up on the Reservation, but lived all his adult years in Denver.
6. Arlo was living in Denver at the time Anna Mae was killed.
7. Bob Ecoffey, U.S. Attorneys MacMahon and Mandel, have no evidence whatsoever that Arlo killed Anna Mae or was present when she was killed.
8. Bob Ecoffey made up the story of what happened to Anna Mae since he has no proof whatsoever to prove his dream which he introduced as evidence.
9. Bob worked on Arlo for 10 years, trying to get him to admit that AIM leadership ordered the death ofAnna Mae, but Arlo would not sell out, because he is a man of honor, character, and integrity, something that Bob is not.
10. Arlo did not kill Anna Mae, nor did he have anything to do with her death.

The question is, who had the motive, opportunity, and means of killing Anna Mae? Least likely, are Arlo Looking Cloud and John Graham. Who last saw Anna Mae alive, that can be proven? Answer: the FBI, namely David Price. What kinds of interrogation methods were used on Anna Mae? As you recall, the FBI was desparate to get their hands on Leonard Peltier, who had escaped to Canada after being framed for the murder of 2 FBI agents, Coler and Williams. Someone, quite possibly Bob Ecoffey, shot the 2 agents at close range to justify the presence of over 200 FBI's to come in and shoot up the Pine Ridge Reservation. Joe Stuntz was also killed that day. Why has no one been charged with his murder? Or did they even call his death a murder? Or if he was killed by the FBI, then it is not murder? The truth is that no one except the killer knows who killed Coler, Williams, and Stuntz. One thing for sure, the FBI wanted to blame Leonard. Since Anna Mae was caught in Oregon, traveling with Leonard Peltier, Dennis Banks, Kenny Loud Hawk, and Kamook Darlene Nichols, the FBI thought they could get Anna Mae to tell them where Leonard was, since he had escaped. Why didn't the FBI corner and question Kamook? Why Anna Mae? Because Anna Mae was a true AIM leader, loyal to fighting for justice for the Lakotas, and loyal to AIM. She was smart and had figured out who the FBI operatives were. Kamook hated Anna Mae, because Dennis preferred Anna Mae, had loved Anna Mae. Bob Ecoffey wanted to help Kamook in her jealous fantasies. Afterall, he was a man prone to fantasies and dreams. And Bob just loved working with the FBI.

If anyone has any information that would lead to the arrest and conviction of the real killers please call Robert Clifford at BHPNews, 867-2220 or Janis Schmidt at 867-2413 or Lucy Bull Bear at 455-1138.
