11. BULLSHIT! They are commiting GENOCIDE on Indigenous People!
http://www.labyrinthina.com/kogi.htm
They are KILLING the KOGI Indians of Columbia!
The oldest pre-Columbian tribe on the planet.
FUCK!
FUCK!
FUCK!


"Fifteen days later, on July 17th, a plane from Dyncorp passed only once to fumigate La Luna. That was enough to provoke a complete disaster. Some days ago, I saw the rushes of a second movie we have made on the Kogis.
Ê
Now, La Luna is like some places in Asia after the tsunami... I could not believe it.
Ê
The Kogis took five years to regenerate the soil, now they will have to wait, at least, five more years to replant. Everything is contaminated and the streams are dry because there are no more trees to retain water. What are they going to eat? What are they going to drink? Where to go? Tchendukua's director in Santa Marta organized some time ago with the Kogis and the farmers around, the eradication of coca by hand. There was no coca in La Luna.
Ê
It is impossible that your sophisticated planes are unable to detect Indians villages.
Ê
In the movie there is a scene with a Kogi shaman sitting in front of his house, in the middle of the devastation. He is crying.
Ê
This image is unbearable and it will remain in my memory forever. Yes, Mr. Bush, an image can turn people really angry.
Ê
Remember the picture of Nick Ut showing a little girl naked, burned by US Napalm, running on a road in Vietnam. This image had an incredible impact in America.
Ê
Condolezza Rice wants Colombia to change its laws and spray in National Parks such as La Macarena, El Catatumbo, La Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, etc...
Ê
To achieve that dirty job, a new aerial base for fumigation planes will be build, $125 million US.
Ê
The fumigation of La Luna on July 17th 2004 was completely illegal.
Ê
In the Sierra, Kogis, Arsarios-Wiwas, Kankuamos and Arhuacos are starting to have health problems , especially children (see notes-page 14). "
