On Deadly Ground Page #6

Synopsis: Forrest Taft is an environmental agent who works for the Aegis Oil Company in Alaska. Aegis Oil's corrupt CEO, Michael Jennings, is the kind of person who doesn't care whether or not oil spills into the ocean or onto the land, just as long as it's making money for him. He even makes commercials that make him look like he cares about the environment. Jennings is almost finished with building his new state-of-the art oil rig: AEGIS-1. The problem is that if he doesn't finish building the rig in thirteen days, the land rights will be returned to the Eskimos and the Alaskan government. When Jennings finds out that Taft's best friend Hugh Palmer has a computer disk that contains information about defective equipment on AEGIS-1, he sends out his goons to murder Palmer. When Taft tries to interfere, Jennings tries to kill Taft. But an Eskimo woman named Masu, who introduces Taft to her father Silook, the chief of her tribe, rescues Taft. With Masu's help, Taft begins a trek through the Alaska

to continue doing this.

They influence the media

so that they can control our minds.

They've made it a crime

to speak out for ourselves.

If we do so, we're called conspiracy nuts

and we're laughed at.

We're angry because we're all being

chemically and genetically damaged...

and we don't even realize it.

Unfortunately, this will affect our children.

We go to work each day

and right under our noses...

we see our car and the car in front of us

spewing noxious, poisonous gases...

that are all accumulative poisons.

These poisons kill us slowly,

even when we see no effect.

How many of us would've believed

if we were told 20 years ago...

that on a certain day we wouldn't be able

to see 50 feet in front of us...

that we wouldn't be able

to take a deep breath...

because the air would be a mass

ofpoisonous gas.

That we couldn't drink out of our faucets...

that we'd have to buy water

out of bottles.

Our most common and God-given rights

have been taken away from us.

Unfortunately...

the reality of our lives is so grim

that nobody wants to hear it.

I've been asked what we can do.

I think we need a responsible body

of people that can actually represent us...

rather than big business.

This body ofpeople must not allow...

the introduction of anything into our

environment that is not biodegradable...

or able to be chemically neutralized

upon production.

Finally, as long as there's profit to be made

from the polluting of our earth...

companies and individuals will continue

to do what they want.

We have to force these companies

to operate safely and responsibly...

with all our best interests in mind,

so that when they don't...

we can take back our resources and our

hearts and our minds, and do what's right.

Kompasla, the great spirit,

I ask you to bless all the people here...

all the grandmas, all the grandpas,

and the little ones.

We have the four directions...

and I want to bless...

the future generation

and the lndian nation, our people...

to be strong again.

Spotted Eagle...

the earth is our grandma.

Look.
