Open Letter to Rotary, Destroyers of Akha Culture

Rotary members are typical americans, unable to see beyond their lawn, feeling all good inside because they're doing something in the world, doing something, that is, according to their own myopic vision. Reminds me of a cartoon of an ancient person startled by a hand reaching down from a cloud, offering a toaster, & the words, "Here. God wants you to have this." No matter that the person has no electricity, or need for toast. I saw a vid which showed a shipment of computers donated to a "third world" organization, none of which computers worked. A news report showed shipments of donations to Acea after the tsunami, donations of junk, like used high-heeled shoes & the like. Some charitable work is good, of course, but only when people here bother to ask the people in need what it is that they need.

Rotary has become the lower middle class or "grunt business class" Masonic puppet organization for the NWO.

Higher up, you have the same motif in the International Chambers of Commerce, which are connected with the same people founding the Royal Institute of International Affairs (RIIA) and its Amerian branch, the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), right in the wake of crafting the League of Nations in the same Paris Hotel.

Rotary International members comprise Rotary Clubs (service clubs) located all over the world (about 30,000 clubs in more than 160 countries). The members of Rotary Clubs are known as Rotarians and are business and professional leaders.

Rotary were involved in the first UN meeting in San Francisco in 1945.

The world's first service club, the first Rotary Club was founded in 1905 in Chicago by attorney Paul P. Harris and three other businessmen. Next was really strong club atmosphere of San Francisco, where Bohemian Grove drew its people from as well. Overlaps assuredly abounded due to the press/newspaper connections of both networks in both clubs at the beginning.

Since one of Sperry's many inventions was a motor transmission
machine for streetcars, it was scarcely surprising that Harris' first rotary friend Munoz went on frequent trips to San Francisco, then engaged on its
massive reconstruction after the terrible earthquake of two years
before. That autumn Munoz had an extra selling job to do, for
suddenly in November — the month after Paul resigned the
presidency, partly perhaps because of quarrels over what he had
done — the world's second Rotary Club was announced!

Harris had triumphed where Grandfather Bryan had failed
in 1849: he had gone prospecting [so to speak] in San Francisco, staking
everything on the outcome, his prestige and popularity in the
Chicago Club — and he had struck gold [i.e., started other Rotary clubs, instead of struck gold]. The yield of the claim startled even him by its extent and flow: within a year of that mission West by Munoz, Clubs sprang up in Oakland, Seattle and Los Angeles.

Back in Chicago, Harris's fellow-members were taking their own seismic readings; they were stunned. Many felt betrayed. What had happened to "advancing the best interests of Chicago and spreading the spirit of loyalty"? Where was loyalty in this? Just when the rather aimless fun and frolic of the early meetings was crystallising into strength, purpose and a distinct identity,...

Harris was a big private club person in Chicago as well, involved in the press clubs and in something in Chicago called Bohemian Club.

"Harris really believed that innocence had naught to dread
— of which his emergence unscathed from his five-year folly was
proof — but he was experienced enough to believe in a
belt-and-braces innocence and he armoured his solitary nature by
creating his own surrounding crowd. Speaking again of himself in
the third person, he recalled: "The way people lived was of great
interest to him . . . but the way was not open and he lacked the
determination and steadfastness of purpose to create an opening."
He belonged to the Bar Association, the Press Club and the
Bohemian Club, and he was a familiar, solitary figure at every
ethnic restaurant in town. He strolled amidst the swarming parks
and beaches near Lake Michigan. It didn't work. He took a place
among the packed worshippers of not only his own religious
denomination but among Quakers, Christian Scientists, Jews,
Methodists, Ethical Culturalists, Theosophists, Baptists,
Presbyterians, Bahites, and often basked in the vast comfort of the
largest Roman Catholic diocese in the world. It still didn't work. It
took him all of nine years to realise he would have to build his own
temple and become his own apostle..."
[from "Golden Wheel"]

The National Association of Rotary Clubs was formed in 1910. That same year, Roatary chartered a branch in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada; marking the first establishment of an American-style service club outside the United States[2]. This was followed in 1911 by the founding of the first outside North America; in Dublin, Ireland. Other early international branches were Cuba in 1919 and India in 1920. The name was changed to Rotary International in 1922 [sevearl years after RIIA founded:

"The Royal Institute of International Affairs was founded in 1920 as the Institute of International Affairs following a meeting at the previous year's Paris Peace Conference. The first chairman was Robert Cecil, while Lionel Curtis served as honorary secretary. Arnold J. Toynbee later became director. The Council on Foreign Relations, its American sister institute, was established the following year. Chatham House, The RIIA's well-known headquarters at 10 St. James's Square, London, was gifted to the institute in 1923, having previously been the home of three British Prime Ministers: Pitt the Elder, Edward Stanley and William Gladstone. The name of the building grew to be so synonymous with the Institute that it was officially rebranded as "Chatham House" in September 2004. However, "Royal Institute of International Affairs" continues to be used interchangeably with "Chatham House".

RIIA/CFR interlock motifs with the same style of 'corporate activist' Rotary and its larger organization the International Chamber of Commerce. The International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) is an international organization that works to promote and support global trade and globalization. It serves as an advocate of world business in the global economy, in the interests of economic growth, job creation, and prosperity. As a global business organization, made up of member states, it helps the development of global outlooks on business matters. ICC has direct access to national governments worldwide through its national committees.

Nazi banker Prescott Bush was big in the ICC as well.

ICC activities:

* Mediation
* Dispute resolution
* Advocating open trade
* Advocating market economy systems
* Advocating business self-regulation...

Back to Rotary: Rotary goes international as well because branches had been founded on six continents[3]. It had by 1999 spread to 188 countries and has more than 1.2 million members in over 32,000 clubs; this made it the most widespread by branches and second largest service club by membership, behind Kiwanis. The name Rotary was chosen since meetings were originally rotated to different locales of members of the organization. Members of a specific club meet weekly for breakfast, lunch or dinner, which is a social event as well as a time to organize work on their service goals.

According to its constitutions ("Charters"), Rotary defines itself as a non-partisan, non-sectarian organization. Its membership tends towards the middle-aged and wealthy, although it is open to business and professional leaders of all ages and wealth is not a membership criterion.

After years of debate, women were admitted in 1989, and now make up a little under 12% of the membership. Previously, women were able to join a linked organization for the wives and daughters of Rotarians, the Inner Wheel. Many Inner Wheel groups still exist.

Other Rotary sponsored organizations include: Rotaract - a service club for young men and women ages 18 to 30 with around 185,000 members in 8,000 clubs in 155 countries; Interact - a service club consisting of more than 239,000 young people ages 14-18 with over 10,400 clubs in 108 countries; and Rotary Community Corps (RCC) - a volunteer organization with an estimated 103,000 non-Rotarian men and women in over 4,400 communities in 68 countries.

Active Membership is by invitation only from a current Rotarian, to professionals working in diverse areas of endeavour.

Each club can have up to ten per cent of its membership representing each business or profession in the area it serves.

Founder "apostle" Harris intersected with much of the same newspaper press groups that were intertwined with Bohemian Grove/Press Club people. Boho Grover Mark Twain (Samuel Langhorne Clemens) worked for the same San Francisco Newspaper, The San Francisco Chronicle, years before:

"San Francisco was an inevitable choice for Paul Harris, once he had determined to make the first extension of his revolutionary idea. First, there was the opportunity it gave him, already noted, to succeed where Grandfather Bryan had failed. This was not entirely subliminal to his self-perception; he described his new recruits thus: "Californians are hard to beat, particularly in games calling for cooperation. . . . They are true sons of the Forty-Miners, the most intrepid and indomitable of American pioneers." And by implication, he saw himself as a true grandson of the Forty-Miners, of course, though irrevocably bound to the concept of Rotary being for the games of men-as-boys. He also knew California well, from his days of "folly" when he worked as a reporter for the San Francisco Chronicle, covering the hotel-beat, spending as much time as he could at the most luxurious of all, the Palace, then the grandest hotel in all America.

He might have been amongst those who watched Diamond Jim Brady swallow six dozen oysters at one go. But if he did, his puritan soul was no doubt appeased by his subsequent spell of fruit-picking on several ranches, followed by a trek of some 300 miles across the High Sierras. Including his period of teaching in Los Angeles, he had spent eight months in the state, plenty of time to assess its potential for Rotary,...

That "Golden Wheel" book on the International Rotary movement has a foreword by the male head of Global British Freemasonry, written by H.R.H. The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, who has been in Bohemian Grove as well.

Is there one of your readers who remembers the distinguished Rotarian David Shelly Nicholl of the now defunct Barnes Club of London?

David was editor of the RIBI magazine Rotary in the 1970-80's and the author of "THE GOLDEN WHEEL - The Story of Rotary from 1905". The foreword was written by H.R.H. The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. This seminal work was published by McDonald & Evans, of Estover, Plymouth in 1984.

Despite extensive inquiries in the UK I have been able to find only one person who can remember David and I am told that his name does not appear in any official Rotary records [though he writes the history for it...? interesting...]

More on Freemasonry and Rotary:

ROTARY, FREEMASONRY AND THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH

This badge [below] was found by our historian colleague, Dr. Wolfgang Ziegler and triggered off a search for its origin which has not yet been resolved. The central part of what is otherwise a normal Rotary lapel badge, seems to show the symbols of Freemasonry, the set square and compasses, while the letter 'G' in the centre is also an indication of the Scottish Rite of Masonry. We know that many of the early Rotarians were Masons and that, according to C.R. Hewitt in 'Towards My Neighbour', ***some Rotary clubs recruited exclusively from Freemasons until the practice was banned in the 1920s.***

To date, no precise details of these links have been found in the archives of either body.

The relationship was a matter of some discussion and in February 1923, an article in 'The Rotary Wheel' sought to allay fears among Rotarians who might think that their membership of the one could cause problems in the other.

However, many people who did not know much about these organisations, thought that Rotary was a form of Masonry. This eventually led to a much more serious problem when the Catholic Church, which had long been an antagonist of Masonry, classed Rotary as a similar organisation.

G.K. Chesterton who was often a vocal of Rotary, was a Catholic convert. and his adherence to the sectarian line may have coloured his views.

The problems seem to have started in Spain about 1928 when the Bishops of Almeria, Leon, Orense, Palencia and Tuy laid charges that Rotary is "nothing else but a new satanic organisation with the same background and teachings of masonry" and that "according to documents and reliable sources, Rotary is a suspected organisation, and should be considered as execrable and perverse". The Church also criticised and condemned Rotary for showing a concept of life and of service without reference to church teaching.

Indeed, it seems that they believed it a secret society with quasi-religious overtones as many in the Church thought was the case with Freemasonry. For whatever reason, the Vatican took up the reins and in 1929 issued a decree that "it is not expedient" for Catholic priests to participate in Rotary either as members or guests.

This decree and its implications were worrying to the many Catholics in Rotary not the least the then President Tom Sutton who was himself a Catholic, and former Chancellor Germany Wilhelm Cuno, a member in Hamburg.

Critical and at times disparaging articles regularly appeared in Catholic newspapers, especially in the 'Civilta Cattolica' in Italy, and Tom Sutton went off to Rome to try to convince the Papal authorities that Rotary was not Masonic, and that it was a movement which was not in conflict with any Catholic teaching.

Sutton's attempts to convince the Secretary of State in the Vatican, Cardinal Gaspari, were fruitless and the anti-Rotary articles continued to be published. An even more virulent article later appeared in Paris in 'La France Catholique' making allegations about both Paul Harris and the links between Rotary and Freemasonry, which were later reprinted in the Baltic paper 'Rytas'.

The factual errors could be, and promptly were shown to be false, and by 1933 there was a mood swing in the Vatican, perhaps partly occasioned by the number of prominent and influential Catholics throughout the world who were joining Rotary. Priests were now allowed to use their discretion about attending or even joining Rotary.

Nevertheless, one of the results of the Church's attitude was the slow development of Rotary in some predominantly Catholic countries such as Ireland.

This uneasy peace continued until 1951 when another Vatican decree warned priests that they should not join Rotary and that "the faithful should be aware of seditious and suspected organisations".

"... which is a christian mission that takes Akha children away from their families for conversion and propaganda. This mission we have known for years and they are agressively engaged in the destruction of Akha culture."

...........

This is a behavior/process that has been going on for hundreds of years. It has been done all over the world in different guises. And to a certain extent it is still happening right here in the state of Oregon, even today.

People like to think that what happened to the American Indians was all in the past, something that happened over 100 years ago, and was done by others (certainly not by your grandparents). And therefore they can wash their hands of responsibility and obligation. But I know people alive today who were forced to go to boarding school in the 70's, and who were physically and sexually abused while there. In 2003 a girl died at the Chemawa Indian Boarding School, how long ago was that?

Even though I am going to show you some specifics; it's not about the specifics, what I am trying to show you is the pattern of abuse and the mindset that goes with it. This pattern has been in operation for a long time.

These are not isolated events, rather they are a deliberate and intentional plan of exploitation. Whenever challenged they are made to appear as if they are isolated events in order to continue the deception.

BIA officials faulted for student's death still at work
Thursday, July 27, 2006

The Bureau of Indian Affairs knew about, but failed to correct, problems at a boarding school in Oregon where a 16-year-old student died after being placed in a detention cell, according to a scathing investigation made public on Wednesday.
....

In a November 2005 letter delivered to former Interior secretary Gale Norton, Devaney expressed frustration that federal prosecutors declined to bring criminal charges not just once but twice. He said BIA education and law enforcement officials engaged in a "turf war" that could have prevented Gilbert's death on December 6, 2003, at the Chemawa Indian School.

"Evidence developed indicates that inaction on the part of senior officials within BIA OIEP and OLES resulted in the failure to maintain a safe environment at the detention facility and, ultimately, became a factor in Gilbert's death,"

18. Native American children were forcibly removed from their homes and families to attend Indian Boarding Schools. BIA agents barged into the homes of Native Americans and dragged their children away from their families in order to assimilate them into "white society".

19. Indirect means were also used to coerce enrollment in the Boarding Schools. In 1891, Congress passed the Indian Appropriations Act, which required all Native American children to attend school and authorized the Bureau of Indian Affairs to withhold federal rations from any Indian family who refused to send their children away to school. Families were essentially starved to force the conscription of their Indian children to the Boarding Schools.

20. At the Indian Boarding Schools, children were subjected to numerous forms of abuse and atrocities. These atrocities committed against Native American children included sexual abuse, mental and psychological abuse, and physical abuse.

21. After being taken from their families, Native American children (typically around six years old) were stripped of everything "Indian". Braids were cut and their clothing was "Americanized". Children were beaten if they were caught with medicine bundles or otherwise practiced any element of their native culture.

22. Native American children were forced to speak English. If the children spoke their tribal languages they were forced to eat lye soap and typically beaten.

23. Native American children were stripped of their family life, family values, religious beliefs and culture. The methods of"educating" Native American children were typically violent and humiliating.

....

27. Students who cried from homesickness were often beaten, and those who attempted to run away were often chained in makeshift jails, such as an attic or closet, as punishment. All of the acts of abuse committed upon the Native American children were carried out to accomplish the United States' objective of assimilating the "savage beast" to the white man's way of life by the destruction of all things Indian.

PHOENIX (AP) -- Canada has apologized for abuses of students in its
system of boarding schools for Indian students. Darlena Watt is angry that
the United States has not done the same.

"We had more boarding schools, more missionary schools, than Canada ever
had," said Watt, a Colville tribal council member who attended the Chilocco
Indian School in Oklahoma in the 1960s. "Whatever happened there, you can
trip le it and it was a reality in our schools."

"Human rights activists must talk about the issue of boarding schools," says Toineeta. "It is one of the grossest human rights violations because it targeted children and was the tool for perpetrating cultural genocide. To ignore this issue would be to ignore the human rights of indigenous peoples, not only in the U.S., but around the world."

Both BIA and church schools ran on bare-bones budgets, and large numbers of students died from starvation and disease because of inadequate food and medical care. School officials routinely forced children to do arduous work to raise money for staff salaries and "leased out" students during the summers to farm or work as domestics for white families. In addition to bringing in income, the hard labor prepared children to take their place in white society—the only one open to them—on the bottom rung of the socioeconomic ladder.

}}}} I know an elder, who's 3 brothers died at the boarding school she went to. }VE{ {{{{

Eliminating Native languages—considered an obstacle to the "acculturation" process—was a top priority, and teachers devised an extensive repertoire of punishments for uncooperative children. "I was forced to eat an entire bar of soap for speaking my language," says AIUSA activist Byron Wesley (Navajo).

Rampant sexual abuse at reservation schools continued until the end of the 1980s, in part because of pre-1990 loopholes in state and federal law mandating the reporting of allegations of child sexual abuse. In 1987 the FBI found evidence that John Boone, a teacher at the BIA-run Hopi day school in Arizona, had sexually abused as many as 142 boys from 1979 until his arrest in 1987. The principal failed to investigate a single abuse allegation.

A 2001 report by the Truth Commission into Genocide in Canada documents the responsibility of the Roman Catholic Church, the United Church of Canada, the Anglican Church of Canada, and the federal government in the deaths of more than 50,000 Native children in the Canadian residential school system.

The report says church officials killed children by beating, poisoning, electric shock, starvation, prolonged exposure to sub-zero cold while naked, and medical experimentation, including the removal of organs and radiation exposure. In 1928 Alberta passed legislation allowing school officials to forcibly sterilize Native girls; British Columbia followed suit in 1933.

Sherwyn Zephier was a student at a school run from 1948 to 1975 by St. Paul's Catholic Church in Marty, S.D.: "I was tortured in the middle of the night. They would whip us with boards and sometimes with straps,"

Sherwyn's sister, said, "I was molested there by a priest and watched other girls [being molested]"

Activists also point out that while the mass abductions ended with the 1934 Indian Reorganization Act (IRA), doctors, lawyers, and social workers were still removing thousands of children from their families well into the 1970s.


======================================

Ask yourself this...
If the Christian religion is such a good and wonderful thing, and so full of love and high moral values... How come it has such a long and sordid history of sexual and physical abuse of people?

"At least 850 U.S. priests have been accused of sexual misconduct with minors since the early l960s"

[India]
The press has recently revealed of the sexual exploitation of children in churches in the United States by the clergy. However, the sexual crimes against children and others outside the U.S. rarely make news. There are many cases of perverted Missionaries sexually exploited non-Christians and using this as a conversion tactic.

1. Sodomy - On November 11, 2000 [India] Indian police arrested David Berry, a 51 year old British national for brutally sodomizing and perpetrating savage sexual abuse on at least 11 minor Hindu boys in the holy temple town of Puri, Orissa. Berry was assisted in his heinous crimes by Bijoy Behera, a local schoolteacher and recent convert to Christianity.

2. Stripping - On October 9, 2000 a group of converted Christians stripped a 12-year-old tribal Hindu boy and paraded him naked in Gasukia village after he opposed attempts to convert him to Christianity. He was taken to the village school and brutally beaten for "refusing to accept Jesus as his savior".

3. Rape - In January 2002, American Missionary Reverend Joseph Cooper and Pastor Sam Benson were expelled from India after the raping a young Hindu girl. Both currently walk free and Cooper is a preacher in Connecticut.

The case of sexually abusive priests in the U.S. Catholic Church speaks to the issue of a cadre of addicted pedophile priests who committed acts of sexual crimes against scores of minors.

The hierarchy of the Church DID NOTHING to protect the over 300 victims of sexual abuse.

According to Santiago Feliciano, Jr., a lead lawyer for the Cleveland diocese for 22 years, "the Church's hierarchy" has "along standing pattern of coddling priests and brushing off their young victims."

... it must be pointed out that such sexual misconduct, scandal and deviance are all part and parcel of the long, sordid history of the Euro-Christian Roman Catholic Church. {{{ a very long and very sordid account of the Popes is here:  http://www.trinicenter.com/kwame/2002/Aug/142002.htm }}}

Over one thousand former wards from two Catholic operated reform institutions for boys have come forward with stories of horrendous abuse. The abuses suffered by these children were at the hands of the Christian Brothers and other adults in position of authority entrusted in their care. Over thirty Brothers, former Brothers and lay staff have been charged and convicted with more than two hundred crimes. These crimes included physical, sexual, emotional, cultural and spiritual rape.

Sexual abuse to children is not confined to institutionalized environments. It happens wherever there is an imbalance of power and lack of respect for human dignity. The misuse of power knows no economic or social boundaries. Therefore perpetrators come from all walks of life and wear many masks.

Nor could I extract my own revenge, for I would be treated as the criminal, not the child molester: the system that miserably failed in its duty to protect an innocent child now protected a vile rapist.

Are evangelical missionaries good or bad? That's the question in tonight's PBS documentary, "The Tailenders." The missionaries' smugness and salesmanship tend to irritate other humanitarian workers, who typically see themselves as more respectful of the people they're tending to. What's more, the program implies, silencing the stomping beats [music] of, say, the Solomon Islands in favor of pallid "Jesus Loves Me" singalongs seems just wrong.

But more disturbing than this, the documentary contends, is the psychological and spiritual danger that many progressives believe is wrought by missionaries, who swipe from indigenous people their happy, peaceful ways and stick them instead with the greed, selfishness, jealousy and wrecked natural landscapes known to be the key features of global industrial capitalism.

Despite a century of such complaints, however, Protestant missionaries persist. And they're dogged.

[India]
I am very amused by what Pope Benedict XVI has described as 'religious intolerance' in India. The record of Christianity in India in the field of tolerance and compassion is well-known. I would like to give a few 'snap shots' from certain moments in the history of Hindu-Christian encounters in India. ...

It took a serious turn in A.D. 1542 when Francis Xavier, started his inquisition in India. The proceedings have been preserved by the Christian participants. They make the most painful reading in the history of Christianity in India.

Historians of the Roman Empire have documented the large scale destruction of thousands of Pagan temples by Christianity from the 4th century onwards. According to Majumdar it cannot be ruled out that many of these temples were places of Hindu worship. The word 'Pagan' is a comprehensive term in Christian parlance and covers a large variety of religious and cultural expressions which are non-Christian in character.

In 1950s it had appointed a committee headed by Justice Neogi, which included a Christian member who was also a Gandhian, to study allegations of forcible and fraudulent conversions of tribal and illiterate people by foreign missionaries. The committee submitted a voluminous, unanimous report detailing fraudulent conversions by the Church.

========================================
 http://www.christianaggression.org/item_display.php?type=ARTICLES&id=1146533982

Unfortunately, there has crept in the purity of the early Christianity an exclusiveness, a feeling of sole proprietary right over God. This exclusiveness, this feeling amongst Christians, that "we are the only true religion, and all other gods are false gods", has had the most catastrophic and bloody consequences: Millions have been killed in the name of Christ, entire civilisations, such as the Atzecs and Incas, have been wiped-out, "to bring them the word of Jesus".

Even Christians have savagely murdered each other, whether in France or England. One would have hoped that this intolerance, this fanatical and militant drive to convert, forcibly or otherwise, pagans to the "True" God, had ceased in this new millennium of "enlightenment". Unfortunately, it is not so.

In another jurisdiction on July 18, U.S. District Judge Karen Schreier ordered Interior to stop ''restructuring'' Indian education programs in North and South Dakota before it does irreparable harm. The judge cited failure to consult with those who would be affected by the restructuring.

Major changes affecting all Native peoples are taking place across government today. Why? Because the united snakes think they are above U.S. law and Native peoples - sssssss.

One Native advocate said recently, ''We'll have our turn when the Democrats get in.'' This prompted her friend to ask, ''What if there's nothing left to come back to?''

This would be the time to do something about anything, even if it's just to make sure there's something left besides snakeskin.


====================

I know that these are painful words to hear for people who believe in the "goodness" of their religion and I also know that most people will shut their eyes and ears to these grim contradictions of what they have been led to believe... But my hope is that this message will reach "those who have the ears to hear and the eyes to see." Denial is of course a big part of the pattern of enablement.

I could go on and on for a long time.... there is no end to the number of examples available of the hypocrisy and brutality of the christian missions to "save the heathen savages". But just who is the savage, the rapist, the torturer? Most often it is the fiend hiding behind the cross and claiming religious piety.

Although the examples above are mostly of the catholic church, it is not unique to them, many other variants of christinanity are also guilty, For example:

When we view the truth of this horrific history - this savagery committed in the name of a Western God; the actions and anger and distrust of the Moslems towards the West become far more comprehensible.

P.S. It is true that endless amounts of real abuse have occurred and more needs to be done to stop it and make restitution to the victims. But let us keep cool heads, false accusations of abuse are nearly impossible to defend against and are utterly destructive to the person being accused.
