Brazilian native tribe says that terror and starvation being used to drive them off their land
Edited on Thu Sep-30-10 06:42 PM by JohnyCanuck

{WARNING, NC-17: Violence, Death, Racism, Blood & Extremely Graphic – Not for Squeamish} Massacre of Native Americans in (the state of) Mato Grosso, Brazil – Do not close your eyes!

These photos were taken by a photographer who cannot be identified because his life is at risk. This is a genocide that is happening in Brazil, in a state ruled by President Lula’s political party (PT)*. We must not close our eyes and turn our back to those people who are suffering all kinds of discrimination and violence. Children die of malnutrition and adults commit suicide by drinking themselves to dead. (Where does the booze supply come from?) The infant mortality is high and the murder rates as well. The mass media refuses to publish this because it is the “land of Gilmar Mendes“** (according to the photographer’s own words), a mafia that is not afraid to kill anyone who dares to question or even try to help these poor people. The goal is to transform the little Native American land there is into soybean and livestock area, and this is already happening!

Here you see a photo of an Indigenous person killed by repeated strikes in the face, young Indians who commit suicide victims of depression and alcoholism and children dead from malnutrition. The villages are burned down to force the Kaiowa-Guarani people off their land … Look at the drawings of children, all images shown people being murdered because that is the reality of these little children forgotten by Brazil and all the irresponsible world media who laude Lula as the champion of the poor!

(WARNING - extremely gruesome pics of native murder victims and suicides at link):

2. So sad. I don't think these poor people have a chance of remaining
on their land.

We are a sick world.
