GREETINGS TO YOU WHEREVER YOU ARE ON THIS BEAUTIFUL PLANET!!

Gundhramns Hammer
November 28, 2012

Hi to everyone out there!

It´s noon on this part of the world where my feet are standing on. Or I should say where my ass is sitting on, for I´m sitting on a chair in front of a PC by a window while I type away this for you. 

People who are so fond and maniatic of giving names to everything they come across to guide themselves through Life call this place "Spain". But Spain only exists on our minds, which are labyrinths of thoughts, aches and pains. 

Minds stuck in the heads on the necks of primitive apes, for man (Homo insapiens) is neotenically constructed on the ancient mammalian model which is closer to the beast that left the oceans 600 million years ago. 

The other Great Apes are derived models of a humanlike ancestor, so they are more highly evolved. The austrolopithecines and Homo erectus have been rejected as man´s ancestors long ago by most paleo people, in the 1980s, but most anthropologists have never taken a Vertebrate Comparative Anatomy course which without an Embryology course doesn´t make much sense, so they still wallow on old shit. We´ll talk about this later on.

Today I felt like listening to some music so I hit the keyboard, searched for YouTube and wrote "Paraguay, Music" thinking of the brethren from over those corners that visit our blog. 

So guess what? This is what came out: The Penny. So here it is for all of you! Hope you like it as much as I have!!

                                                                   


I leave "Paraguay" for some other time. Paraguay, blessed land of the Guarani. A place with an interesting name: Para, big, Gua, place, and Y, water, i.e., "big water that flows into" the sea.

THE GUARANI: THE STRUGGLE TO SURVIVE

The Guaraní people live in the area where Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay converge.

Much of what was originally Guaraní territory has been destroyed, or is threatened, by large-scale soy and sugar cane production and various other forms of commercial farming.

According to Survival International:

In 1983, Marçal de Souza Tupã-y, renowned Guarani advocate of indigenous rights, was shot dead at his home by gunmen reportedly linked to a local rancher.

In 2001, the young Guarani Kaiowá Samuel Martin was killed by gunmen during the reoccupation of his community of Ka’a Jari in Coronel Sapucaia municipality.

On 13th January 2003, the internationally renowned Guarani Kaiowá leader, Marcos Verón, was beaten to death by gunmen working for a local rancher, in front of family members after he led his community’s reoccupation to Takuara in Juti municipality.

On 24th December 2005, nine days after the eviction of Guarani from Nanderu Marangatu, 39 year-old Guarani activist Dorvalino Rocha was shot and killed by a private security guard employed by ranchers.

Following the attempted reoccupation of their land by the community of Kurusu Mba in 2007, community leader Kuretê Lopes was assassinated. Ortiz Lopes and Osvaldo Lopes, also leaders of the community, were assassinated on 8th June 2007 and 30th May 2009 respectively.

Nobody has been tried or convicted for these killings...

                 

The day after their return to their ancestral land of Ypo’i on 29th October 2009, a group of Guarani was attacked by gunmen.

Ten days later the body of Genivaldo Verá, a member of the group, was found dead and bruised in a nearby river.

At the time of writing, a second Guarani man, Rolindo Verá, is still missing and it is feared that he too has been killed.

On 25th November 2009, the approximately 250 Guarani Kaiowá who had returned to their ancestral land of Kurusu Mba, were attacked by ranchers who approached the community in ten trucks and fired gunshots.

The body of Osmair Martins Ximenes, a teenager of Kurusu Mba, was found beaten up on 16th December. It is suspected that his killing is directly related to the community’s recent return to their land.

Twelfth Bough has reported on the area where the Guarani live (problems):

"The Guarani Aquifer, the planet's largest supply of fresh drinking water, is adjacent to the Chaco and directly under the Tri-Border Area. (Guarani Aquifer)...

"In Brazil the FBI investigated some North Americans going down to the Amazon on ecotourism fishing trips, and taking on young girls as sex slaves, and doing this every year.

"Paraguay has a huge human trafficking problem and a hardened group of sex tourists. See: the Bangkok of Latin America

"People known to have purchased large tracts of land in the Chaco include George Bush, Sun Myung Moon, and Maurice Strong...

"Moon's land sits atop the Guarani Aquifer, the Earth's largest resource of fresh drinking water, and also happens to be an "enormously strategic point in both the narcotics and arms trades," according to Paraguay's drug czar from 1976-89.

"The available intelligence clearly shows that the Moon sect is involved in both these enterprises."
