Fighting For Their Lands
Around the world Indigenous peoples are fighting for their lands.
Fighting For Their Lands Around the world Indigenous peoples are fighting for their lands. Indigenous peoples everywhere are fighting to defend their lands, to stop the destruction of the air, water and land. As the democratic empires frantically race for the rapidly dwindling forests, oil, minerals, etc., the Indigenous peoples are standing up against Wasicu greed, and often paying the ultimate price. Standing their ground, standing the wrong ground. As the colonials call it, it is the Second World Oil War. The events in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Peru are occuring for the sole reason of Wasicu greed, for their obsession for money and materialism. The governments of democracy, along with their willing citizenry, are committing wholesale genocide against the Indigenous peoples of Peru, in other european-based democracies of so-called South America, and in other occupied Indigenous lands. The colonial police, and military are armed with automatic weapons, chemical weapons, helicopters, armoured vehicles, tanks, fighter jets, and high-altitude bombers. There are many thousands of Indigenous people standing up against wasicu actions, Awajun, Wambis, and other tribes, all in war paint. They are armed with bows & arrows, spears, blowguns, and rifles. In the face of some of the worst violence committed by the colonials since the first home invasion, the Indigenous peoples have issued a warning about what will happen if the colonial democracies continue destroying what little remains of their traditional terroritories. The colonial governments of "Canada", the "U.S.", and others are whining and complaining about losing billions of dollars because the Indigenous peoples are protesting their plans to take 6+ billion barrels of oil, destroy the forest for wood products, mineral mining, agriculture, etc. After several months of peaceful Indigenous protest, the Peruvian government ordered the police to attack Indigenous protestors. In the fights that followed, at least 100 Natives and 10+ police have been killed. Yesterday, as the police continued attacking Indigenous peoples, the government imposed a nationwide curfew on Indigenous settlements. In an feeble effort to end the protests, President Garcia claims to have suspended the laws that would allow destruction of Indigenous lands. The Indigenous peoples do not doubt that the police attacks will continue. Peru is just one of many democracies that are in continuing conflict with Indigenous peoples over what remains of their lands. Largely ignored by the mainstream medias are protests by Indigenous peoples in Africa, Asia, "North & South America" and elsewhere. The protests are against mining, oil, logging, agriculture, chemical plants, electric dams, biotech companies, etc. Democratic governments such as England, Germany, Russia, France, China, Canada, the U.S., and others are supporting colonial-imposed governments, like in Niger. The government of Niger, in agreement with the above-mentioned have sent in military forces using helicopter gunships to shoot down Indigenous people. The resistance responded by killing twelve soldiers and setting fire to a Chevron oil processing plant. The governments are after coal, oil, copper, gold, lead, bauxite, uranium, and other "wealth" on remaining Indigenous lands. The government of Indonesia has sent military troops to West Papua, where they are protecting mining interests of the U.S., Canada, U.K., and other governments. Hundreds of Indigenous people have been killed by the Indonesian military, opposed by people armed with spears and bows and arrows. Governments are becoming increasingly aggressive in an attempt to destroy the last remaining Indigenous lands for profit. Arrests, abuses and killing are becoming increasingly frequent. This is happening in Russia, Canada, the U.S., the Philippines, Cambodia, Mongolia, Nigeria, the Amazon, all over South America, Papua New Guinea, India and Africa. It is global. Conflicts with Indigenous peoples are becoming more frequent as governments and corporations continue to take remaining Indigenous lands, lands that the government and citizenry long ignored as useless, unproductive and wild. As governments, World Bank and IMF increase spending for the military and infrastructure projects, the conflicts are expected to grow. Mining is one of the most damaging practices committed by national and international companies. When the Philippine government allowed mining companies from Canada and the U.S. to come in their practices wreaked total havoc and destruction on the Indigenous people and their lands. They destroy the land and water, depriving the Indigenous people of their livelihoods. They take the tops off of mountains, which are sacred. Mining, oil, logging, agriculture, and other businesses generate & exacerbates corruption, increases militarization and fuels armed conflicts. The introduction of mining, logging, oil, agriculture, dams and other businesses means cultural death for Indigenous peoples. The Dongria Kondh people in Orissa, eastern India know that they will have to fight to protect themselves and their lands. The U.K. mining corporation Vedanta will soon start destroying their sacred mountain, Nyamgiri for bauxite, used to make aluminium. The huge open cast mine will destroy a vast area of the forest and reduce the mountain to an industrial toxic wasteland. More than 60 tribal villages will be affected. The Vedanta mine will destroy the water, drive out the tigers, bears, monkeys and other animals, as well as destroying the plants and food the Dongria Kondh people are dependent on for survival. Twenty years ago, thousands of gold miners, ranchers and farmers invaded the lands of the Yanomami people, living deep within the Brazilian forest, killing many people with their diseases and violence. The Yanomami people were successful in stopping the colonial predations, but today 3,000+ miners, ranchers and farmers are returning. They are bringing in rafts, boats, machines, weapons, and other supplies. They are destroying the land and water, and killing the Yanomami people. They are reopening old airstrips and building new ones. This is a war taking place from the Arctic to the Amazon and elsewhere. Wherever you find Indigenous peoples you will find land conflicts. It is a battle between the colonial industrial mindset and the Indigenous respect for the Natural World. The Indigenous peoples live on the land, taking only what they need, and do not destroy their environment. The democratic empires and their citizenry always want more. There is a massive Indigenous resistance movement worldwide against Wasicu predation and destruction of Mother Earth. But, as the wasicu violence grows, so does the resistance of Indigenous peoples.
