Spanish Lookout (Belize) History Part1

[@peggyt1243]

The Mennonites in Ontario Canada have their own schools. There is no interference from the government. The Mennonites who moved to Belize were very brave and hard working people. They were pioneers and built a new community for themselves. Well done, exceptionally well done.

Per sempre the Guatemalan territory of Belice.

When the Mennonites came to Spanish Lookout it was just a wall of jungle. They walked through Belize River through shoulder deep water to get to the land that they bought. Land that they bought at market value, from a private owner. The next day they began developing what Spanish Lookout is today, by chopping down the jungle and growing crops, over time growing different and diverse industries. To where today 1000's of Belizeans and refugees from Central America are living and employed in and around Spanish Lookout. At 12:20 you hear Henry Penner read the original agreement the Mennonites had with the government. The Menonites are willing and ready to pay for themselve the expenses it takes to settle in Belize. Mennonites will farm and grow crops both for themselves and for the common market. Subject themselves as citizens and subject of the laws of (then) Brithish Honduras. Pay ALL normal fees duties, taxes and customs fees, estate tax property tax and income tax! Bznrebel Did you not watch this video? Or are you just blinded by lies. Spanish lookout did not get any special treatment! They never have gotten special treatment. Yet they are responsible for some of the biggest local industries in Belize. Spanish Lookout employs 1000's of Belizeans. Spanish Lookout pays all the taxes that any Belizean pays and on top of that they have an additional tax for the residence of Spanish Lookout which is used for road infrastructure electrical plants, and paying their own townships and leaders. Spanish lookout does NOT get any support to build roads as virtually every village in Belize does, and we won't ask for it.

So interesting. My late father-in-law was a retired Mennonite pastor. My in-laws were so very kind and loving to this "Anglish" girl their son married. In years past, my father-in-law wanted to take his family to Brazil to settle a colony there. Personally, I'm glad they didn't. I would have never met my husband, the love of my life.

When i hear the old lady speak i hear many old dutch influences in her language.

[@darfunneral]

In being intolerant to the indians and the environment.

[@crossmaster77]

@@aurockscastillo5460 It is the Indians that are intolerant and racist against Mennonites.

[@Dimmu666ist]

[@Emilio743-e1h]

Belize was "their" promised land of "milk and butter " !!

[@colinm2056]

There are a lot of similarities to the Afrikaner/Boer's of south africa.

[@Emilio743-e1h]

Yes because they are also "racists"; they are not friendly and prefer not to mix with the locals !!

[@sianmoltie8979]

@@Emilio743-e1h Never seen a racist mennonite here in bz! and also why do want them to mixed? 😅 just repsect their way of life and it's a win win

Congratulations! Now the British forces are defeated with the independence of Scotland remember the stolen territories Guatemala and Argentina, I see many people say that thanks to the Britons your country is a paradise, but they forget that in those lands inhabited our Mayan ancestors and not British, but African descent.

[@georgeb.wolffsohn30]

Many Maya people came from Guatemala and Mexico to Belize to escape the caste wars.

[@sianmoltie8979]

The maya civilisation was never a empire or a country!¡ their was over than 60 languages and also belize was very underpopulated. Take care if your native in guatemala and stop using them as an excuse!¡ The malvinas also were naver inhabited till the europeans came!! Also the mayas occupide over 5 countries not only guatemala😅

El territorio que ocupan los menonitas, pertenece a Guatemala excluido de los tratados de 1783, 1786 y 1859. La CIJ va a reincorporar a la nación maya/garifuna de Belice a Guatemala a donde pertenece. Los piratas ingleses dividieron a la nación maya/garifuna de Guatemala en Belice y Guatemala.
