Peru Approves Genocide for Uncontacted Tribes (Video)
via Earth First
Peru has approved the highly controversial expansion of the Camisea gas project onto the land of uncontacted Amazon tribes – despite international outrage, the resignation of three ministers, and condemnation by the United Nations and international human rights organizations.
Peru’s Ministry of Culture, tasked with protecting the country’s indigenous population, has approved plans by oil and gas giants Pluspetrol (Argentina), Hunt Oil (US) and Repsol (Spain) to detonate thousands of explosive charges, drill exploratory wells and allow hundreds of workers to flood into the Nahua-Nanti Reserve, located just 100km from Machu Picchu.
The expansion could decimate the uncontacted tribes living in the reserve, as any contact between gas workers and the Indians is likely to result in the spread of diseases or epidemics to which the Indians lack immunity.
What happened to humanity? Not that this is anything new but we are suppose to be in a liberal, progressive, enlightened era of good will and information and so forth. Yet just as it did hundreds of years ago, greed blinds us all.
Oil companies like to pollute drinking water and leave carcinogenic compounds behind for natives. They should have armed themselves. Reptiles will rule the planet one day again.
