Peru approves genocide for uncontacted tribes

**Mods: I wasn't sure if this is the right place, please move if incorrect**

Did a search on this but couldn't see this already posted. Title is not mine.

This is absolutely disgusting and disgraceful. It just blows my mind how people can be so corrupt and greedy to let something like this be a possibility.

I read a book called "confessions of an economic hitman" and I remember how the author was talking about South America and how they would just bribe officials/leaders to get things like this through. I've been to Peru and also Machu Picchu so it makes me so angry that people would even contemplate something like this as a good idea!!!



The Amazon is often referred to as the lungs of the world. What the hell are we going to be breathing soon?!??!? OIL???

Peru approves genocide for uncontacted tribes

Absolutely disgusted in the human race...it just gets worse and worse.

Yep... You got it right there!

Here are these tribes that are living quite well without modern society until we come along and destroy their lives all in the pursuit of oil and money.

Sickens me.

Never heard of your source before, Earth First! Newswire, so I decided to read up about them and this is the first sentence of their Wiki page,

en.wikipedia.org...!

Earth First! is a radical environmental advocacy group[1]

Got any other sources to back this genocide claim?

There seems to be but they are in spanish and I haven't had a chance to do a translate on it as yet. It'd be great if there are any Peruvians on here that live anywhere near that area to have some firsthand knowledge.

Check out the links in the original website.

Will come back later to add more etc.

Give us the link, Google Translate is just a click away.

I think the US should drop off a couple of Apaches, an instruction manual in English, and a sh!t load of ammo, giving the Tribe a fighting chance.

Just imagine some tribal elder firing off 2.75s and 30mikemike, all the while screaming some ancient curse in an unknown dialect...an awesome visualization indeed!

Google translate is going bonkers here on my work pc but here is one link

www.comaruperu.org...

I can see it mentions Camisea etc. My spanish is desgraciadamente malo.

That would be nice indeed!!

I remember elsewhere in Sth America, the natives had risen up against some electrical or oil plant - I forget which. While I don't condone the killing of anyone, I can't blame them for it.

What gets me is they still call a tribe uncontacted right after they interviewed someone from their??

OOps not so uncontacted.

what language do these guys speak?
can they send people in with, ugggh, and i hate to say this, vaccines?

if we immunize them, can we save them?

if we could immunize them, i bet a lot of them would like to explore different things. most would probably stay, but every culture has always had explorers.

This better be some kind of sick joke! Why does this feel like they are destroying evidence? Many if these people's myths hold ancient truths about our history as a human species. These people are essentially the only living "books" we have to link us to the past through their passed down oral traditions.

Yep, you're right. Who knows what tribes like these might know. They could certainly know about all sorts of things like natural medicinal cures etc.

Still trying to find out more about this story...
