The owners of Indian Country Today Media Network, the Oneida Nation of New York, donated more than one quarter of a million dollars to the ultra-conservative Patriot Prosperity political action campaign this year.
Patriot Prosperity has a website, a secretive conservative social networking site for conservatives. It is by invitation only for conservatives.
The other top donor to Patriot Prosperity is Las Vegas casino magnate Sheldon Adelson, owner of a daily Israeli newspaper, and the 10th richest person in the world. Adelson's wife Miriam also donated. The couple owns Adelson Drug Clinic which provides methadone to heroin addicts in Las Vegas and Israel. Sheldon's occupation is listed as owner of Las Vegas Sands Casino.
As for the Oneida's other donations, the second largest donation was to the National Republican Senatorial Committee. Besides owning Indian Country Today Media Network, the Oneidas own the lucrative Turning Stone Casino in New York.
Meanwhile, the owners of another national Indian news outlet, Ho Chunk, Inc., which owns the news website indianz.com received an $80 million contract from the US State Department for domestic and international spying this year. The contract was awarded to Ho Chunk Inc.'s All Native subsidiary. A second contract gives them an office at the Pentagon in 2014.
Ho-Chunk, Inc, is owned by the Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska and has divisions in Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan and Iraq, according to its website.
Open Secrets reveals that the Oneida Nation donated $234,100 to Patriot Prosperity, which is at the top of the Oneidas' donation list. Next, the Oneidas donated $97,200 to the National Republican Senatorial Committee.
Meanwhile, Open Secrets also reveals that the Tohono O'odham Nation spent more than $3 million on casino lobbyists over the past three years. The majority of Tohono O'odham live in desperation, in need of jobs, housing and clean water.
The national Indian news spent the past year cheerleading for another casino for the Tohono O'odham Nation in Glendale, Arizona, but failed to question what has happened to the millions, possibly billions, flowing into the tribe's lucrative Desert Diamond Casino on the border of Tucson.
The Desert Diamond Casino has been packed with crowds of gamblers for more than a decade, yet the majority of O'odham struggle to survive.
Tohono O'odham casino lobbyists 2013: $1.4 million.
