The Logical Extension Of The Ethnic Nationalist Movement
Rare uncontacted tribe photographed in Amazon
RIO DE JANEIRO (Reuters) - Amazon Indians from one of the world's last uncontacted tribes have been photographed from the air, with striking images released on Thursday showing them painted bright red and brandishing bows and arrows.
The photographs of the tribe near the border between Brazil and Peru are rare evidence that such groups exist. A Brazilian official involved in the expedition said many of them are in increasing danger from illegal logging.
"What is happening in this region is a monumental crime against the natural world, the tribes, the fauna and is further testimony to the complete irrationality with which we, the 'civilized' ones, treat the world," Jose Carlos Meirelles was quoted as saying in a statement by the Survival International group.
One of the pictures, which can be seen on Survival International's Web site (http://www.survival-international.org), shows two Indian men covered in bright red pigment poised to fire arrows at the aircraft while another Indian looks on.
Another photo shows about 15 Indians near thatched huts, some of them also preparing to fire arrows at the aircraft.
"The world needs to wake up to this, and ensure that their territory is protected in accordance with international law. Otherwise, they will soon be made extinct," said Stephen Corry, the director of Survival International, which supports tribal people around the world.
Yes, and we probably ought to give them a seat at the U.N. Lord knows, they behave as well at the Palestinians.
And, for heaven's sake, someone call Christine Brim. I have a feeling these tribesman don't hate Jews. Maybe, if we ask them the right way, they will even say they support Israel.

They certainly don't look too friendly. Maybe they don't want to be found.
Are they cannibals?
And...
This tribe controls a no-go zone.
AOW,
It doesn't matter if they are cannibals, as long as they support Israel.
;-)
A "no-go zone"?
You're right.
Maybe, they could move to Paris and start up a business disposing of used automobiles.
Pastorius,
Actually in a way, even if they are uncivilized barbarians, they have more of an excuse than the Palestinians. Unlike the Palestinians, these tribesmen have never been exposed to the modern world. They may well have prepared to attack that air plane thinking it was some kind of giant predatory bird, for all we know. It's possible that the tribesmen had no idea they meant them no harm. Those people have been isolated from the rest of the world after all. I doubt they even have a written language. By the way, if they are truly as Isolated as the article implies, they couldn't technically oppose Israel, because they couldn't even know Israel exists.
There is no escape from the reality of this world.
They are headed for adaptation or extinction.
So am I.
So are you.
So is everyone.
That's all there is.
Epa,
You are a Darwinist.
;-)
Damien,
I understand. I am merely being sarcastic.
What can I say? I am in science
;)
I also believe that one fine day, science will point the way to ....
After all, we and all of this is here.
How?
Science will try and explain, and measure, and KEEP AT IT.
Epaminondas,
Your a scientist?
Hey, if these bushmen don't want to live with all of the rest of us, it would be racist, civilization-centric, and downright un-nuanced of us to force them to do so.
They are the human equivalent of the spotted owl. All civilization must cease feeding our families, and gaze in awe at their blessed Gaia sacredness.
Maybe Russia and China could help these bushmen start a nuclear program.
Yes Damien, and every now and then I exclaim,.....IT'S ALIIIIIIIIIIIVE, ALIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVE.
What, u thought maybe a sewer worker?
Pasto, u have it right on.
And in denying the ultimate nature of life in the universe we pervert the REAL world.
Then again, maybe I am just a D Cell
Carbon footprint neutral take on this story.
Always On Watch,
That was an interesting parody.
Absolutely hilarious. I just put it up here at IBA.
Thanks, AOW.
