Dear Friends: Our campaign against the Queen of Thailand who has seized the land of Hooh Yoh Akha and Pah Nmm Akha contineus to build. Please take an interest in this case, and contact the Thai Consul, and ask that the Queen return the land. The more people who do this, the sooner the Thais are going to realize that the status quo will not stand. On my mind, and on it day and night now, is the 3rd Akha Journal. Layout, editing, writing out some of the stories yet, lots of them, clipping docs, all of it, now in marathon mode. Photos I have all layed out, choices not made yet. Printing cost and means besides electronic versions are buzzing through my head too. I have been working months to keep moving old pages from the old site to the new html site. www.akha.org I just added about 120 pages, so now all the content has been moved back to the new site. News archives for 2004 and 2005 I still have not completed, a few hundred more pages from there. Here are the links for the newly rebuilt content sections: Army Reports http://www.akha.org/content/armyreports/index.html Commentary http://www.akha.org/content/commentary/index.html Documents http://www.akha.org/content/documents/index.html Human Rights http://www.akha.org/content/humanrights/index.html Human Rights Documents http://www.akha.org/content/humanrightsdocs/index.html Language http://www.akha.org/content/language/index.html Medical Documents http://www.akha.org/content/medicaldocuments/index.html Police Reports http://www.akha.org/content/policereports/index.html There are also a lot of new documents in Vaccinations section: http://www.akha.org/content/vaccinations/index.html Investigation into CGT Mission in Thailand continues. We have numerous people out and about inside these missions actively making photos and video documentation of what is going on. I have many pictures and video to load, but that will take a while. People in Australia, New Zealand, the US are all calling on Racist Rotary to stop funding a white project that takes brown children away from their parents. There is no way to get around it, this is about colonialism and RACE. No sound thinking white person should support any cause that takes minority children away from their parents, no matter what they say the reason. What would people say if a bunch of Akha wanted to come to the US and take away a bunch of church children? Didn't think they were being raised right, too much consumerism, too much promiscuous permissive behaviour, talking back to their parents too much, gaining too much weight, stuff like that? We have notified a number of Rotary offices but they still think this is perfectly fine. We think they will think otherwise before this is over. We know that Rotary has given at least $30,000 of funds to CGT in Thailand and is prepared to give a lot more. You can contact Rotary Internation via your local Rotary office. Express to them how disappointed you are that they are willing supporting the removal of Akha children. http://www.akha.org/content/missions/cgt/index.html Another mission, run by an Oregonian, in Chiangmai, also takes small Akha children away from their villages. Dr. Richard P. Haugland Operator. We oppose any organization that takes away Akha children. We think people should know better than to do that. http://www.schsf.org/content/ Starfish Country Home School Foundation 278 Moo 10, Baan Nong-On T. Intakhin A. Maetang, Chiangmai 50150 Thailand Phone: 09-963-0623 See video of the children who have been taken from their parents: (the "dumb ones" get sent off to another school at Chiangmai) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CgTOqnINm34 Jobs at Starfish: http://ie3global.oregonstate.edu/ie3/openings/thai5.html http://www.volunteerabroad.com/listingsp3.cfm/listing/29549 Our New Campaign against the Queen of Thailand Now a permanent top case on our home page. www.akha.org The Queen of Thailand continues to seize large amounts of Akha land and then requires that the Akha work as slaves on their own land making it convenient for her tea and other projects. We compare the Queen of Thailand to King Ahab, whose wife Jezebel had Naboth murdered in order to get his vineyard. The consequences of that are history, and we see the murder of so many Akha leading up to the seizure of Akha lands as no coincidence. http://www.akha.org/content/queenofthailand/index.html The land of Hooh Yoh: http://www.akha.org/content/forestry/index.html Once again I remind that this case is now at the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights which is a significant progress in the case against the Queen. We would like to keep reminding people what happened so many times to the Akha before these last great land seizures that started in 2003. The beginning of 2003 saw brutal murder waged in this region. Naturally we don't think the Queen minded, long as she could keep gobbling up valuable mountain lands. Of course, if it isn't valuable, why would she want it? Forestery and Army and Police all continue along. Look at the brutality below, think about it, next time you head for Thailand or quaff a Beer Singh. http://www.akha.org/content/drugwar/drugwardeathpics.html I don't want you to forget about the case of Ms. Meitinee Wongsa, she is still in prison in Singapore, and many efforts true and false are working to gain her release. May the real people succeed in helping her find her freedom and a new life. http://www.akha.org/content/humantrafficking/meitineewongsa.html We can not help but note her fiance has continued to work tirelessly to gain her release. He now works three jobs to help pay for her lawyers. I am setting up a new website, not completed yet, www.akhaphotos.org for a new exstensive photo archive. Case of NCA and ACF in Laos continues: http://www.akha.org/content/sexualabuse/index.html I have gotten a new PC which has made my work on the website a lot easier. And there is more yet going on. Your help is always appreciated, Matthew McDaniel
