Alex Jones remembers American icon Russell Means, a valuable member of society and the freedom movement. Means sadly passed away on October 22nd after a battle with esophegal cancer.
Means joined the American Indian Movement in 1968, and was involved in numerous protests. Unlike the majority of AIM activists, Means was a libertarian. He came second in the 1987 Libertarian Nomination process, to none other than Ron Paul. In January 2012, Means endorsed Ron Paul's 2012 presidential campaign.
Means is well known for his move to declare the Republic of Lakota a soverign nation, occupying the Mayflower II, and engaging in a standoff against FBI at Wounded Knee.
Thank you for the great work you have done Russell, you will be missed.
