Why This Tiny South American Village In Guyana Is Fighting Against Gold Miners

[@oceejekwam6829]

It baffles me how Indigenous residents don't have automatic legal title to the lands they inhabit? I hope they win.

The court cases are held in courts where 'business merchants' have more rights than somebody living on the land. Colonial powers only ever appeared in 'colonial Courts' where they were found to be the 'real victims' and deserved compensation. Maritime Law is a different set of rules than 'Roman Laws' when under a 'Roman sword'. 'City of London' type of rule. When 'colonial powers' appear in a court that is 'a different Admin'. Changes like Africa would be the 'nations' tapped to do a detailed look into how human trafficking began and who was doing what to whom, and for how much $$$. Africa would also be the 'entity' to start a DNA based family tree that goes back to when Europe changed in the 1300s as disease and civil wars broke out all over Europe. Remnants of the Christian Reformation Wars are still being used as an excuse for wars in 21st century Europe.

It is clearly stated that community entered some kind of agreement. Seems that they sold land for some royalties. It is common practice.

[@BantuKing]

The government doing the same all over the country. Evicting families from lands they occupied for decades, with no plan for resettlement or compensation.

One Guyana 😢 our leaders should be ashamed they treating the indigenous people like that

[@waynegabler6570]

The alternative in the past was to become like Cuba, under IMF sanctions. It puts the leaders between a rock and a hard place. Loyalty to Colonial powers is 'thin at best', even when an alternative doesn't exist. China is more than capable of delivering consumer goods to 'your doorstep'. Russian business models introduce an alternative for 'a standing army'. Local development using local resources and locale talent that is then 'exported' for a modest profit. Venezuela, Brazil and 'West Guyana' all share 'some highlands'. A Chinese owned and operated elevated heavy rail could take refined products to the ports at speeds reaching 200km/hr. The 'fair market value' is then returned to 'the natural land owners and the Merchants that are involved in the export of 'resources'. The owners would be able to use the same trains to bring consumer goods back. The locals would then take over the final leg of the delivery process, the waterways canoes use change almost daily. 'Off-grid' living, with with every power tool that is 'made'. 'LED' camping, so your path lights come on and shut off when 'heat is detected/not detected'. Insect proof 'huts' as well as 'a root cellar' that is cool and dry' for long term food storage. Every nature hiker today has access to 'water purification tablets', consumer goods of the like would be easy to transport and deliver on a scale that the 'locals' would be able to acquire it from companies at 'no charge'. Back home, they would treat their drinking water (and their neighbors) at the rate they consume it. A year later, they put 'more water purification tablets' on the shopping list. Locally produced goods could be shipped to the coast on the river, as the journey would begin 'upstream', the 'manufactured items' could be part of an exchange market that would be found all along the waterway. At the ports the foreign buyers would buy everything, the profits would, the money given to the local govt and distributed according to amount of product that was exported. The Taxpayers have more use for consumer goods than 'cash', their shopping list is already 'on file' with Chinese shipping companies so the goods showing up is 'sooner', rather than later, or never, like it is today.

Become to Venezuelans 🎉

[@wllingtonsingh5080]

[@OjodeGuacamayo]

You have to become to Venezuelan 😊

[@roja7426]

That is so sad to see. Blame it on the government for allowing this.

[@MochaQueen5]

They're lying their eyes are Asian they're from Asia. They stole these lands from the slaves. If you steal you will be stolen from. That's why God is not letting the land go bad because they have not repented and told the truth.

[@Mich-c5s]

Investigation its on its way

[@BantuKing]

How did they get the name Chinese landing?

[@MochaQueen5]

They're Asiatic and not native.

[@Jonathan10230]

Esequibo belongs to Venezuela

[@waynegabler6570]

3 Nations share the same 'mineral rich ground', the nearest export port is in Guyana, available only by elevated high speed heavy rail. Profits paid to the people every 30 days. Wholesale shopping coupons and free delivery, . . .

[@OjodeGuacamayo]

​@waynegabler6570 ok perfect, but esequibo belongs to Venezuela

[@waynegabler6570]

@@OjodeGuacamayo By the time Moscow and Brussels settle the IMF inspired sanctions and post-1997 NATO expansion NATO will be disbanded like the USSR was in 1991 and the IMF will be out of the 'money lending' business. That will be about the time the ICC has some judges that will not cater to the bankers when war crime trials and crimes against humanity will start being aired over public airwaves. Chronic liars will label it as 'not our finest hour'.

Guyana is the real Ghana the first gold coast they just mixed in Asians on the land and the ones who wasn't mixed they say they came from Africa when in reality the real motherland is the whole continent of the Americas including the Caribbeans Ethiopia was Brazil this how deep this stuff go this is the real motherland colonzation colonizers of many complexions flipped the whole story the one's who were took and put on a made up continent right next to Europe and was brainwashed to believe they originated there people in so called Africa wasn't only in the Americas they were all over the world and was kidnapped from their lands and brought there the captives are trained to think they originated there and the people who are on their land were trained to think they were took that's y only in America there's a constant thing to convince black Americans that they were brought from a land even Africans are not originally from people don't take time to research and when they do they assume pan Africanism movements that was started in Europe is for u it's not hard to pay someone to feed informational posion doesn't matter if they have ur skin complexion or not a agent job is to make u believe and trust their words (master) teacher y'all better wake up

[@MochaQueen5]

Africans are Asians too. Look at Mandela and the Koi San people. The Bantu people created all these different races that you see around the world except for the race of Adam which is "Man" the shemite. They were not upset with skin color. They were angry at "Man" for eating off the tree of life which is the vertebrae "Beast" animals. So instead of animals being hunted and in fear of their life. The shemites became hunted and in fear of their lives by the beast men (evolution). In the garden of Eden the Amazon rainforest God said not to eat off the tree of life he said to get your meat from plants. Jesus was a vegetarian. Jesus had to bring about the Plan of Redemption with the Israelites to redeem the Israelites and the "Gentiles". God doesn't want to destroy a living being. But they are not taking heed to the warnings that are being sent to them to fully repent and tell the truth.

[@MochaQueen5]

What the Africans did was use type 2 Albinoids of their own race and said that they were a separate race called Europeans. To make it all seem as if it was about skin color. Europeans genetically are African. The Africans even gave them a sinister name U-rope (lynch) they sent them to Shem's land to take out the Israelites by proxy without them knowing their true enemies are people who actually look just like them. The Wheat and The Tares. That way they could play both sides of the coin.

[@naithram350]
