ALL THE WORLD IS A STAGE 3
A little more about Ray Robinson and his murder excerpted from Steve Hendricks book The Unquiet Grave pages 343 and 344:
Stanley Hollow Horn was not the only person threatened with death if he dared to speak of the murder. One of Robinson’s friends who drove with him to South Dakota, Janie Waller,hiked into Wounded Knee a day or two after him. On her arrival she asked where he was and for answer was brought before some leaders of the Independent Oglala nation-which leaders are not clear-and told that if she knew what was good for her she would never mention the name Ray Robinson again.
By chance, Robinson had another friend in Wounded Knee.Allen Cooper was a Caucasion so fervent for the cause that AIMers gave him the radio handle Honky Killer; he had come to the village in the occupations second week.
Eight years earlier,Cooper and Robinson had fasted in Laurie Pritchett’s jail,but they hadn’t see each other since then, and they were amazed to meet again when Robinson hiked into Wounded Knee. They embraced, talked fora spell, then went back to their duties. It was the last Cooper saw of Robinson.
After Robinson was killed, two men came to Cooper’s bunker and told him to come with them. “I’d patrolled with these guys, man,” Cooper later said. ” I was their friend. When they came for me, they couldn’t look me in the eye,just looked at the ground as they spoke. They were ashamed of having to carry out this order they’d been given. They took me to of the buildings downtown and I was chained to a bed. Leonard Crow Dog was there, and he questioned me while Stan Holder-he was the security chief-and Carter Camp- he was also part of this
of this ruling group-stood behind him. Crow Dog started asking if I was an informer,things like that.” Cooper will not discuss Crow Dog’s questions more specifically,but almost certainly Crow Dog was trying to learn if Cooper had been in league with the “informer” Robinson or would talk about Robinson’s murder. The questions continued for some time.
He turned his back to me and looked at Holder and Camp, He didn’t say a word, and I couldn’t see his face,but he was asking their opinion.I cannot tell you the horror I felt. It was indescribable. I was just-just the most terrifying moment of my life. Holder and Camp didn’t move or say a thing either. It was dead silent>They both just very slightly,very slowly shook their heads no,meaning, I was not an informer. And I was sent back to the bunker.
Cooper’s story is supported by an account from,of all the ironies,a genuine informer.He or she told the FBI that “there is a young white male locked up and being held prisoner in Wounded Knee._____ advised that this young man’s life had been threatened, and the occupants have discussed executing this individual because they think he is a traitor”
WK2 sounds less and less like the act of liberation AIM has attempted to portray it as doesn’t it? It sounds increasingly like Kosovo or the Warsaw Ghetto with jackbooted thugs murdering, rampaging, and holding a village hostage.
WK2 is often referred to as an “occupation”-a choice of words I have as much difficulty with as calling it an act of liberation, for how does a “friendly” force occupy a village of their own people? and commit crimes against them?
Here once again we see Crow Dog, the wannabe medicine man and “spiritual” advisor of AIM acting like the thug his history has shown him to be-here again we see Camp who always wants to remind us that he speaks the truth and yet seemingly can’t keep his story straight from one day to the next.
An here again we see the words of another witness that could have and should have led to a proactive investigation, the discovery and exhumation of Ray’s and the remains of other victims, and another absolute failure on behalf of authorities to do so.
Once again the singular question can only be WHY? And once again the answer will be the stonewall of silence.
I’d like to know where Janie Waller is, if she’s still alive, if she was ever contacted and interviewed by authorities related to Ray-and what was said?
I’d like to see any FOIs’ related to that and to her.
This informant information that Cooper was being held and discussions were taking place about executing him strikes me as though it would have to of come from someone privy to the inner circle, as I doubt “leadership” was given to an open town hall type of forum-if so it then seems logical to examine those who would be, those who in part would have accompanied Crow Dog when Ray was shot.
I don’t know if that can be characterized as a deductive Sherlock Holmes style of reasoning but I think it qualifies under the heading of common sense.
