I jokingly said in the Phoenix Flame thread when his friends list from Facebook was dropped that one can spot the batshit (trannies) a mile away. Yesterday when @chimpburgers - who encouraged me to do a write up - posted a screenshot in the thread a comment caught my eye, but as much the name of said person. Amanda S. Lickers
That´s the kind of 3edgy5u belief she holds (kudos to @chimpburgers for the screenshot)
And say what you want, but you can spot the crazy in her eyes.
Amanda Lickers had two particular highlights in her career as a professional activist. The better known of those incidents happened in 2013 when she and another woman desecreated a 9/11 memorial.
In Amanda Licker´s own words:
"i am a young onkwehon:we, a woman, a member of the turtle clan and the onondowa'ga nation of the haudenosaunee confederacy...for over 500 years our people have been under attack...i have had enough...walking through the campus i saw thousands of small American flags. tho my natural disdain for the occupying colonial state came to surface, in the quickest moment of decision making, in my heart, i understood that lands where our dead lay must not be desecrated." (Spelling mistakes are her own.)
Edit: above statement is a shortened version. Added now the complete version in the spoiler below. Reposted verbatim.

A picture taken implies it was at least peaceful, neverthless shitty is who shitty does, and messing up a 9/11 memorial is pretty shitty.
Claiming that their actions were taken on behalf of an Abenaki Indian burial ground – a position thoroughly rejected by the Abenaki - Don Stevens, chief of the Nulhegan Abenaki Tribe, called the vandalism “disgusting,” and “We didn’t know anything about this and if we had we certainly wouldn’t have sanctioned it.”
To Amanda Licker´s genuine surprise she had to deal with "lots of backlash from genocide, eugenic and imperalist supporters."
The most interesting question, which I have not discovered, is if she faced any kinds of real world consequences, as it seems the backlash happened (mostly? only?) online.
Those two articles cover it pretty well and there are quite a few others who did the same. Any coverage about it is negative; at least I didn´t find one blog or newspaper which was willing to spin a positive tale of bravery or righteous outrage about it.

Amanda Lickers describes herself as "an anarchaqueer Onkwehon:we cis-woman. She belongs to the Turtle Clan of the Onondowaga nation, part of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy. Focusing on combating ecocide, hating the police, and harvesting medicines, Amanda hopes to work towards dismantling all systems of oppression, slashing at their social, cultural and material infrastructures." Which is rather ambitious but whatever she has to tell herself.
A blog post, written with a bit of a bias, flat out says that she is a fake Indigenous woman, which I can neither deny nor verify if indeed to be true. The tribe itself does exist, and since she is heavily involved into Indigenous politics I have to give her the benefit of the doubt for now. As much as Rachel Dolezal anyway.
A closed YouCaring page implies that she was at some time last year (2015) homeless, or at a minimum couch surfing. It scored $ 4201 and "made a world of a difference for [Amanda´s] mental health and (...) stable housing."

While by now Amanda Lickers operates on the radical left and with fringe groups she was not always a complete nutcase. While it´s unknown what she currently does for a living, or if her activism pays off that much, she has studied Environmental Chemistry at Trent University, and her research background is "in radiobiology, and the cellular and long term ecological effects of long term low dose radiation exposure."
In 2009 Amanda Lickers made her first appearance on the political stage when a small group of Trent students and Peterborough residents defeated the General Electric-Hitachi Corporation of Canada (GE) at the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) tribunal. On December 23, 2010, permission for GE's plans to process enriched uranium downtown were officially revoked. The tribunal decision stated, "the issued license does not authorize activities related to low-enriched uranium (LEU) or possession of the same."
"Turning to the more scientific problems associated with exposure, Amanda Lickers cited peer-reviewed studies on the effects of LEU on human cellular structure. The studies found that all levels of exposure, including low-doses, affect reproduction and health of cells, spurring the development of cancer cells. Indeed, unhealthy cell reproduction is genetic and therefore can be passed down to future generations."
If anyone´s interested going down that particular rabbit hole there is a blog post, most seem to be repeats of the same article, so I stick with one, and a Summary Decision in PDF form.

Statement by Amanda Lickers:
i am a young onkwehon:we, a woman, a member of the turtle clan and the onondowa’ga nation of the haudenosaunee confederacy. i have been doing my best to be true to the responsibilities i have inherited through the gift of life, and the relationships i must honour to my ancestors and all our relatives.
for over 500 years our people have been under attack. the theft of our territories, the devastation of our waters; the poisoning of our people through the poisoning of our lands; the theft of our people from our families; the rape of our children; the murder of our women; the sterilization of our communities; the abuse of our generations; the
uprooting of our ancestors and the occupation of our sacred sites; the silencing of our songs; the erasure of our languages and memories of our traditions
i have had enough.
yesterday i went to occupied abenaki territory. i was invited to middlebury college to facilitate a workshop on settler responsibility and decolonization. i walked across this campus whose stone wall structures weigh heavy on the landscape. the history of eugenics, genocide and colonial violence permeate that space so fully like a ghost everywhere descending. it was my understanding that this site is occupying an abenaki burial ground; a sacred site.
walking through the campus i saw thousands of small american flags. tho my natural disdain for the occupying colonial state came to surface, in the quickest moment of decision making, in my heart, i understood that lands where our dead lay must not be desecrated. in my community, we do not pierce the earth. it disturbs the spirits there, it is important for me to respect their presence, their want for rest.
my heart swelled and i knew in my core that thousands of american flags should not penetrate the earth where my abenaki brothers and sisters sleep. we have all survived so much – and as a visitor on their territories i took action to respect them and began pulling up all of the flags.
i was with 4 non-natives who supported me in this action. there were so many flags staking the earth and their hands helped make this work faster. this act of support by my friends, as settlers, tho small was healing and inspiring. we put them away in black garbage bags and i was confronted by a nationalistic-settler, a young white boy who attends the college demanding i relinquish the flags to him. i held my ground and
confiscated them. i did not want to cave to his support of the occupying, settler-colonial, imperalist state, and the endorsing of the genocide of indigenous peoples across the world.
it is the duty of the college of middlebury to consult with abenaki peoples and repatriate their grounds.
yesterday i said no to settler occupation. i took those flags. it is a small reclamation and modest act of resistance.
in the spirit of resilience, in the spirit of survival
