One People, No Status: The Vision of a Classless Indigenous Society Chapter 1: Colonial Chains and the Chiefs' Dilemma Understanding the Colonial Payroll System and Its Hold on Indigenous Leadership ------------------------------------------------ What if true Indigenous liberation began with dismantling the very systems that claim to represent it? 'One People, No Status: The Vision of a Classless Indigenous Society' challenges the colonial frameworks that have long divided Indigenous communities, offering a radical yet hopeful vision for unity and self-determination. This provocative work exposes how tools like the Indian Act, blood quantum laws, and colonial payroll systems have created artificial hierarchies, pitting people against one another while benefiting a select few.

Dear Fellow Alberta Prosperity Supporter, At the historic Alberta Independence Rally on October 25th – the largest sovereignty gathering in our province's history – thousands of us stood united under a sea of Alberta flags, demanding freedom from Ottawa's exploitation and control. Our CEO, Mitch Sylvestre, delivered a powerful message that we must now turn into immediate action. Here's what Mitch said: "Right now, about 70 to 75% of the membership of the United Conservative Party of Alberta is in favor of independence... About 65 to 70% of the UCP board is in favor of independence. Right after this AGM, we want 100% of the UCP board in favor of independence and we want independence candidates elected to run the UCP." The UCP Annual General Meeting (AGM) is coming up at the end of November in Edmonton. This is our golden opportunity to stack the board with pro-independence directors who will push Premier Danielle Smith and the party to honor their promises – from invoking the Sovereignty Act with teeth to supporting a clear referendum question on Alberta becoming a sovereign country. We already have the numbers in the membership. But we need YOU to step up, renew (or purchase) your UCP membership TODAY, and attend the AGM to vote for independence-friendly candidates. Here's How to Act NOW: Renew/Buy Your UCP Membership (must be active by cutoff – do it immediately!): Join or Renew Here Cost: Just $10 – less than a coffee run, but it secures our future! Register for the UCP AGM (November 28–30, Edmonton): Get Your Ticket Here Attend in person to vote on the board and resolutions. Carpool with fellow APP members! Pledge Your Support for Alberta Independence: Sign the Intent to Vote at AlbertaProsperity.com Mitch put it bluntly: The federal government is stealing from us, sabotaging our industries, pushing communism, censoring us, and confiscating our firearms. Come On Let's Go! This is our battle cry. By flooding the AGM with renewed members and voters, we send an unmistakable message: Alberta demands sovereignty – or else. We've waited 120 years for fairness in Confederation. No more lawsuits, no more empty promises. Elect a pro-independence UCP board, force real action, and pave the way for a prosperous, free Alberta. Forward this email to every like-minded Albertan. Post on social media with #IAmAlberta #ComeOnLetsGoAlberta. Together, we'll make October 25th the start of Alberta Independence Day.   Come On Let's Go! In Prosperity and Freedom, Mitch Sylvestre CEO, Alberta Prosperity Project www.albertaprosperity.com P.S. As Constitutional Lawyer Keith Wilson (a key ally) reminds us: We have a clear legal path via referendum under the Clarity Act. But we need a UCP leadership that will legislate it without excuses. Renew now – your vote at the AGM is the leverage we need!

EDMONTON, AB – An estimated 10,000 to 20,000 proud Albertans from all corners of the province converged on the Legislature Grounds on October 25 for the "I Am Alberta: Rise Up Alberta Rally." Many arrived via chartered buses, with tickets sold by the Alberta Prosperity Project—routes that quickly sold out, prompting us to charter even more to meet the overwhelming demand. Under a crisp autumn sky, the massive crowd waved Alberta flags, chanted #IAmAlberta, rejected federal overreach, and issued a resounding call for independence. This event marked the largest rally in Alberta sovereignty history, with one sheriff on-site estimating 20,000 in attendance after an APP organizer inquired. Independent breakdowns, including aerial analysis and crowd density mapping by Unacceptable Fringe (available here), support estimates ranging from 10,000 to 20,000 in physical attendance. The event's reach exploded online, with over 70,000 viewers tuning into livestreams: Unacceptable Fringe: 42,000 viewers Rebel News: 19,000 viewers FreedomCalendar.net: 6,100 viewers Tommy Temper: 2,800 viewers "This wasn't a protest – it was a declaration of self-determination," said Mitch Sylvestre, CEO of the Alberta Prosperity Project (APP). "Albertans showed up in force to expose the federal gun amnesty scam, UCP delays on protecting our rights, and Ottawa's relentless exploitation. From equalization theft to censorship threats, we've had enough. Today, we united to demand sovereignty – and Ottawa, take note: the path to an independent Alberta is unstoppable." The rally kicked off with a powerful prayer led by Minister Jeff Goodterham, invoking divine protection for Alberta's families, land, and pursuit of righteousness amid federal tyranny. Emceed by John Bolton, the event pulsed with energy: crowd-wide chants of "I Am Alberta," and fiery speeches blasting 120 years of colonial subjugation. Key Highlights: Dr. Dennis Modry, cardiothoracic surgeon and APP Founding Chair, framed sovereignty as "the highest expression of ultimate power and control" – pragmatic freedom from economic persecution, medical mandates, and regulatory chains. He urged a spring 2026 referendum on the clear question: "Do you agree that Alberta shall become a sovereign country?" Tanya Clemens, farmer, educator, and mother, shared a heartfelt lens on federal assaults on property rights (e.g., Bill C-293) and agriculture (e.g., canola tariffs devastating our $15B+ industry). "We've tried for 120 years to fix Confederation from within – Ottawa's answer is always 'no.' A sovereignty vote unites us, negotiating from strength for faith, family, and freedom." Derek Smith of Unacceptable Fringe rallied the crowd: "Ottawa's scandals, theft, and lies have broken the promise of Alberta opportunity. This vote is our golden ticket – for our kids' homes, jobs, and prosperity. We are Alberta. We will be free." Keith Wilson, top constitutional lawyer, warned of dystopian policies like emissions caps and censorship (Bill C-9), emphasizing the Clarity Act's legal pathway: "This referendum gives every Albertan more power than any federal vote. Fight for our kids – 1.8 million 'yes' votes in 2026." Chris Scott, Whistle Stop Cafe owner and freedom advocate, called for sacrifice: "We've seen pastors arrested and businesses crushed for serving food. Alberta's independence isn't selfish – it's our duty to blaze a trail for truth, justice, and global inspiration." Mitch Sylvestre spotlighted the rally's origins in UCP gun rights betrayals, launching the battle cry "Come on, let's go!" to mobilize 10 volunteer days per supporter. Jeff Wrath, constitutional lawyer and APP General Counsel, revealed U.S. enthusiasm for Alberta's independence (not 51st-state status) and demanded UCP members pack the November AGM to elect 100% pro-sovereignty leadership. "We send $70B yearly to Ottawa – keep it home for our families, First Nations, and future." APP continues to collect pledges for immediate updates and information sharing once the petition is approved and the referendum is called all while swag sales keep spirits high. This groundswell propels APP's November court battle to secure our referendum, empowering Albertans to reclaim control over resources, taxes (slashing to 5-8% max), and rights enshrined in a new constitution rooted in Judeo-Christian values. As Dr. Modry asked: If Alberta were sovereign today, would we join Canada under current terms? No – and it's time our government acts on that moral imperative.

Dear Fellow Albertan, Ottawa's "voluntary" buyback began this October.  Even though Alberta isn't enforcing the gun grab, when you go to another province you will be a criminal and subject to having your RPAL and PAL revoked, guns seized, and hunting license seized. While rural RCMP response takes "one to two business days" and criminals operate freely, Ottawa targets law-abiding Albertans. The same government that trampled Freedom Convoy protesters now demands your last line of defense. Enough. The Alberta Prosperity Project is fighting for independence – where we control our borders, resources, and self-defense rights. Your donation of $20, $50, $100 or $500 ensures we have the resources to see this thing through.  For Alberta's Freedom, Your friends at Alberta Prosperity Project One Time Donations can also be sent directly to the Alberta Prosperity Project via E-transfer (Canada): donate@albertaprosperity.com Donation via cheques can be made out and sent to: ALBERTA PROSPERITY PROJECT P.O.

“Parasites are perhaps the greatest master manipulators in nature. Even though they are tiny, they wallop other species with their influence. The primary objective of a parasite is to increase its numbers and accomplishing this goal requires successfully manipulating its host. One of the easiest ways to do this is to induce behavioral changes that increase transmission of the parasite from one individual to another. For the host, this often results in some very odd behaviors while remaining completely unaware that its actions and brain are being hijacked.” Does this happen in humans? Are all the top tier full of parasites that choose to migrate to positions of power? Is that whey they even think and act like a user parasite? Parasites are not suppose to kill the host but I am wondering can this greedy resource hungry parasite suck all the blood out of Alberta?

**Alberta Under Siege: How Ottawa's Gun Grab Endangers Our Families and Fuels the Independence Fire** By Shawn Michael Alain As of this October, the Liberal government's "voluntary" firearms buyback program kicks off in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. But make no mistake, Albertans: this is a federal power play that will soon knock on your door too. While Alberta has declared it will not cooperate with the federal buyback and no federal agents may seize weapons here, the laws are federal.  Even in Alberta's defiance, crossing provincial lines turns you into a criminal overnight. Even though Alberta isn't enforcing the gun grab, when you go to another province you will be a criminal and subject to having your RPAL and PAL revoked, guns seized, and hunting license seized. You will have a criminal record that will prevent you from entering countries like the US. Ottawa will make you a criminal even though you've always been a law abiding gun owner.  Dressed in the language of safety, it is nothing less than a systematic disarmament of law-abiding citizens, leaving us exposed to home invaders, foreign gangs, and an untrustworthy state apparatus. In Alberta, where vast rural expanses leave families miles from help and RCMP response times stretch into "one to two business days," this threat hits hardest. Our prosperity, our security, our very sovereignty demand we fight back. Through the Alberta Prosperity Project's path to independence. Consider the stark realities already unfolding.  Masked men in Kleinburg recently smashed a front door with a gun handle, terrorizing a family with two young children inside. Police advise leaving key fobs at the door to avoid carjackings turning deadly. That is a band aid on a gaping wound. And recall Nova Scotia's 2020 horror: a gunman disguised as an RCMP officer slaughtered 16 innocents in Canada's deadliest mass shooting. The RCMP's catastrophic failure there. Ignoring warnings about Gabriel Wortman, a known criminal and police informant. That cost dozens of lives. What followed? Zero accountability for the Mounties. Instead, the feds doubled down on stripping your rights, while criminals roam free. This isn't isolated; it is a pattern. Since 2015, Canada's four million responsible firearm owners have misplaced just 27,000 guns. A tiny 0.67% loss rate. Contrast that with the RCMP: 19,000 officers who've lost or had stolen 845 firearms, including two machine guns, at a whopping 4.4% rate. That is over six times worse than the public they deem "unfit" to own weapons. In Alberta's oil patch and prairies, where foreign gangs fuel urban chaos and rural break ins spike, these "professionals" show up late. If at all. And might even charge you for defending your home. Who needs protection from the protectors? Ottawa's overlords preach safety while presiding over ruin. A bankrupt nation drowning in poverty, crime, and unchecked immigration; a bureaucracy nearly doubled in size, gorging on pay raises; baseless lockdowns that isolated our elders, scarred our kids, and wrecked communities. They trampled Freedom Convoy protesters. Beating women, seniors, and veterans in the streets, seizing bank accounts, and jailing "mischief" offenders for years. Now? Life sentences loom for "hate speech," while murderers and rapists get bail. These are the same elites demanding you surrender your last line of defense in an era of unprecedented violence. History screams the truth: disarmament isn't about safety; it is about control. Tyrants from Roman conquerors and Assyrian hordes to English kings like Edward and Richard have stripped arms to crush rebellion. The Holy Roman Empire enforced "common sense blade control." In modern times, Cambodia, China, the Soviet Union, and Venezuela disarmed their people. Using "voluntary" rhetoric in Venezuela's case. Before unleashing genocides claiming over 100 million lives and ongoing purges leaving tens of thousands dead. John A. Macdonald, our first prime minister, warned against restrictions: with lawless characters flowing from the U.S. border, a disarmed populace invites lawlessness. Today, threats pour in from worldwide criminals.  Albertans, this hits us square in the heart of our lives. Federal overreach chokes our energy sector with carbon taxes and red tape, inflating costs while crime surges in Calgary and Edmonton. Rural families, hours from aid, face home invasions without recourse. Do you trust the RCMP after Portapique? The feds who've economically suicided us? If your answer wavers. "Maybe" or "I think so." That is a gamble with your children's lives that we can't take. This decision is permanent: relinquish now, and the monopoly on violence shifts to criminals and a tyrannical state. Alberta, you are built for this. We have carried Canada's load. From oil sands subsidies to cultural sidelining. Say no to the buyback. Ignore the calls. Lock the door. Our first PM knew it; we know it now. Firearms aren't hobbies or hunting gadgets (bows served us millennia); they are the barrier against oppressors, foreign or domestic. Independence is our shield. Through the Alberta Prosperity Project's Policy Framework, we reclaim control: secure borders, resource sovereignty, enshrined self defense rights. Free from Ottawa's grip. Join us at www.albertaprosperity.com. Sign up, donate, rally your neighbors. Our prosperity starts with freedom. The monopoly ends with Alberta standing tall. Will you? Look out for our October 25, 2025 rally at the Legislature in Edmonton.
