In the world, there are events that never change. White men have stolen millions of acres of traditional land often with murder.
School children in Australia read history that the land of Melbourne was bought by John Batman. He signed a treaty with the local aborigines.
Then he claimed the land as his. They had no idea of what he intended.
The man who owned Chirnside manor outside Melbourne made friends with the local aboriginal tribes and gave them food.
The last gift of bags of flour was laced with poison. They never came back.
We see that foreigners come to sign illegal deals with people claiming to be land owners to take the timber. They strip areas of timber.
Villagers can do nothing, especially when auxillary police are employed by the logger.
If I were a villager and wanted the illegal logging to stop, I would take the same steps as Australians took with the Japanese invading the Pacific.
I would seek to kill intruders, burn bulldozers and destroy ships. I would organize the villagers to fight any village body guards employed by the foreign company. This is war.
We saw on the Australian TV program 60 Minutes of an Australian who went to Peru.
He arranged contracts with villagers who could not read or write to take millions of acres of land for carbon trading.
They have not benefited in the least.
If I were a villager in Peru and he stole my land like that, he would die. This is the land of my children and their children's children.
A blow dart to the neck would do the trick. And he would never come out of the jungle.
