An Untimely Cut - Thailand

April 1997
This is the terrible story of the Baptist Church of the Golden Triangle and their extensive sterilisation of the AR-CA people. The AR-CA people are trapped between Burma, Laos and Thailand and are unwanted by any of them. In a venture between the Baptist Church and the Thai government a sterilisation Programme was established in the 60s to render the troublesome hill tribe people barren. As far as the Thai government was concerned it was a step towards extinction for the AR-CA and they couldn't believe their luck when a US religious nut agreed to carry out the work. Dr Paul Lewis was the American who relished his task. We went to find him in Thailand where he still lives today. Lewis tells us 'what happened was that we had to get permission from the government. Their encouragement was that we have too many tribal people already so if we can cut down that's great'. We profile Buma, sterilised 20 years ago and today consumed with pain and regret. Central to the AR-CA way of life is their worship of fertility. Without the ability to produce children many sunk into depression and disease. It's cultural genocide of the worst kind.

He should have his balls cut off so he can understand the pain these women are having. Guess no matter how much he believes in God he will end up in HELL!!!

[Typho0n86]

what the fuck is the church doing there, stop spreading you plague. Fuck the christians

[PlebScrubber]

instead of teaching these people about sterilization,

teach them about toothpaste

I know the deal and its pretty lame that you may have not participated but indirectly you are participating. but you can change. i have a sneaking suspition that my indigenious roots (whatever it may be) was not so wise and nice as well . Its time we cut short our ties to our ancestors . Its like following a bad parent.; No more. Stand up.

[MrSlla222]

@azil70 Thats the thing. Most young kids dont really get it when they say we are just like you or there ar ebad people everywhere. It's not true. Only in the sense of what actually was used in the action of bad behaviour. For example bad people can exist anywhere. So. But it was only white people in recent years who have killed off other non whites and spread with religion. No where in the past 500 years has any race done so at the amount of level as americans. get your shit straight

[Neferfaten]

Why they don't go back to their country and do some "sterilization" there, after all most of americans breed like flies especially n the south where poverty is SHOKINGLY rampant. This is outrageous, why they don't "help" themselves first!!!

I hope this baptist faggot gets his chords cut.



[free00to00ryhme]

they did the same thing to the indians. this is sick, they are killing off certain tribes because of their masonic beliefs. sterilization...who ever came up with that term needs to be dead.
