On March 15, 2007, two months after he accepted the full-time position as Tribal Administrator for the Tule River Indian Tribe, whose Reservation was close to Porterville, California, Rodney Martin penned the following [my emphases -cy] in the Porterville Recorder, a newspaper in which he would continue to write op-eds and editorial comments in the following years.

“I would like to weigh in on the comments of Mr. and Mrs. Day concerning Mrs. Jennie Perez’s letter to the editor. While I will not put words into Mrs. Perez’s mouth, I believe the intent of her letter was a message of embracing diversity. What a novel idea, given we are the nation with the Statue of Liberty in New York Harbor that welcomes people from all lands.

Just like Elie Wiesel, of whom we ask, “Where’s the Tattoo?,” and whose tales of sadistic treatment at the hands of the “Nazis” have been totally discredited by me and many others, Rodney Martin supplies no evidence for the numerous, fanciful claims that continue to pour out of his mouth and pen in an effort to revenge himself on this writer for telling the truth, and on everything, everyone I am, or have ever been, associated with.

Just yesterday, on February 5th, Rodney posted the following on the Facebook page of David Rottweiller Jones, a British White activist. It led me to not only respond with the below, but to do a more thorough search through the archives on Rodney Martin at the Porterville Recorder (Calif) newspaper [Rodney's home town]. It’s amazing what has been sitting in there all this time. But I will begin in an orderly fashion with some very basic responses to what Rodney wrote on David Jones’ Facebook page. Rodney’s words are in black text, my comments are in blue.
