Mission Elite Bent on Destroying Akha Information Technology
Words people can understand. The Akha have an elaborate oral knowledge system that helps them survive. The destruction of this system is to blame for increased mortality. The missions are deeply invested on destroying this God dependent system and replacing it with their own system as to make the Akha consumer dependent, doctor dependent, medical facility dependent. They do this by taking the children away from them with impunity, as was done to Native Americans. When will it all stop?
For the missions it is very important to destroy the knowledge that the Akha have, because with their knowledge and closeness to God they are hard to destroy, they are very self sufficient. That is why the missions want to make sure the children are removed from Akha "school" and put into their own.
Killings At Arvada YWAM - Colorado
The YWAM abuse of Volunteers and the Akha
There have long been complaints from young people our organization has worked with about the tactics that are used at YWAM. These young people cited pressure as well as mental and spiritual manipulation which they were put through during their time at YWAM. Numerous comments on the web state that youth at YWAM feel preyed upon for their money and then abandoned when they no longer have any, as then unfit for use by the YWAM program. In Thailand, youth brought to Thailand by YWAM paid their own way, as well as brought money for a YWAM projects in Thailand, but in fact were on the ground such a short time that they had no way to measure what was going on, or the conditions under which YWAM gained possession of Akha children in Thailand. The young people were shut off from contact with local NGO's which might bring them up to speed during their short stay. When adding up what it cost a group of twenty young people to come to Thailand, one must consider whether that sum of money could have been better spent, since it only covered a very short time, not likely to be very informative. What the young people got out of it, suggests that they are being exploited for their money. In northern Thailand YWAM has a number of projects which remove Akha children from their villages and culture while presenting to the public that these children are true orphans. The families do not know the quantities of money that their Akha children bring in for the mission. Two such YWAM missions are Eden House Children's Home and Christian Happy Home, both located in Chiangrai Province. In the case of Eden House Children's home, the operator, Vern, removes Akha girls only, saying that they are at risk of going into prositution. No mention is made of the severe human rights situation that the villagers face. The YWAM video untruthfully depicts all the ills the Akha face as self induced. No mention is made of land rights, extrajudicial killings, lack of ID cards and so forth. In this case, the donor, the Akha children, the YWAM volunteers, all remain in the dark.
We have repeatedly asked YWAM to stop removing girls from their villages, and we have asked them to take their video off of YouTube.com. Vern McCauley has made out to dedide who he can take away from their culture and families. He has no permission to do so from the Thai government, which also fails to protect its ethnic minorities under international treaties it has signed such as the Rights of the Child. Two missionaries connected to YWAM in Thailand from Salem, Oregon and Arvada, Colorado are Lori Crouch and Paul Vernon. Lori Crouch is a missionary involved in the Akha Ethnocide in Thailand. She comes from Salem Alliance church where she receives financial support. But her sending church, that of her husband Paul Vernon, is Faith Chapel, Arvada. As well, Arvada, Colorado has a YWAM office. Lori Crouch and Paul Vernon run the website www.loriandpaul.hopedenver.com. They also run a mission in Thailand. The are connected to Akha Outreach mission in Chiangrai which practices removal of Akha children from their families for coercive conversion. (See Dapa Article below - Brother to the operator of Akha Outreach) Akha Outreach cooperates with YWAM's Eden House Children's Home which is in north Thailand. Eden House Children's Home's Vern castigates the Akha people while taking their children, all teenage girls. (see youtube.com video "Eden House Thailand") YWAM Salem says that they are not connected though they obviously are the same organization run by Loren Cunningham. What we'd like our readers to know is that what ever the appearance of denominations in the US, many of these organizations like YWAM Salem, Arvada and Chiangrai Thailand, are connected at the Thai end. Salem Alliance has said that Lori Crouch is not THEIR missionary, while trying to deny the issue of financial support. The network of these missions and churches and what they involve themselvs in is much greater than people think. We see YWAM as a militarized evangelical organization, translating the gospel into a warlike machine mentality. YWAM needs to address how it treats its volunteers and the Akha. Maybe if it had changed its pattern of internal management, the tragedy at Arvada could have been avoided. The conflict ran over a long period of time, why did YWAM not take the proper action to defuse it? Similarly, we have not been able to get YWAM to respond to our requests that they take the above mentioned video down.
DAPA (Aje / Yot) Says We Don't Represent the Akha
We represent traditional Akha who have asked us for the help. We make no claim to representing christian Akha unless they request it. - So, does DAPA now own the Akha Nation?
Dapa, the mission started by fundamentalist sterilizing missionary Paul W. Lewis and run by a christian Akha named Yot is drafting a letter to the UN stating that we do not represent the Akha of Thailand, that we just eat all the money that we raise using the Akha name and that our website is full of lies.
(We can clearly answer any questions of where money used in the Akha Heritage Foundation has come from and what it has been spent on, write us.)
We have received statements made by administration staff at DAPA that Yot, the administrator of DAPA, and trainee of Paul W. Lewis, (Paul W. Lewis knew of the charges) has made repeated sexual abuse of underage girls at the mission for years. (Paul W. Lewis also set up the New Life Foundation located on the same property as Dapa.) The statements by Admin staff at Dapa were that Yot was sexually abusing Akha girls who lived in the Dapa hostels. Rather than being dismissed by the mission, Yot was promoted to full administrator. Administrators said that this was all they could do because mission lands had been placed in the name of Yot by Paul W. Lewis. They were trying to get mission lands out of his name. Finances of the Akha Heritage Foundation can be located on the State of Oregon website.
We back up all statements on our website with documentation.
Corban College Needs to Get Rid of Jim Morris Before Asking For $12 Million for a New Library
Corban's Racist Missionary In Residence, Jim Morris, Comes out of the Closet!
Nov. 23, 2007 A racist letter to the editor by Jim Morris, a missionary to the Karen in Thailand (read Karen are better than Akha in Thailand slang) illustrates how clearly the missionary underground in Salem really supports the racism against the Akha by most missionaries in Thailand. This article is an excellent example of why. There are many things left out of this letter, as in all missionary practice, that the public is not informed of by the writer. What is the reason for such great omission? Jim Morris Statesman Letter One reason my be to cover up the truth. Lets get into it. Lets look closely at this letter. No mention is made of the sexual abuse of Akha children in missionary fake orphanages (children the missioanries claim are orphans in order to get money when in fact the children have one or both parents.), cases which have been documented and prosecuted by the Thai government. Do we have to wait 30 years before the missionaries are prosecuted for sexual abuse like the Catholics are being prosecuted in this country? In 30 years will the Thai judicial system be willing to go after missionaries who raped little boys and little girls? Jim Morris lists a long list of negatives. This in itself is an offensive way to describe a people. Jim Morris states not one positive about the Akha except what he sees as all the good missionaries brought to them.
Jim Morris is a missionary in residence at Corban College. We have dealt with him before. He is also a CEO at OMF (Overseas Missionary Fellowship) that is based out of Denver. Jim Morris mentions in his letter that the Akha were addicted to opium. Actually it was the Christian British who brought opium to the area, forced it on the masses and made their billions off of it. People like Jim Morris is all we got left with. But let us go further. In the Lonely Planet description of Luang Namtha, Laos describes Bill Young from the Young Missionary Family as the trafficker of nearly ALL CIA opium that flew out of Laos. So just who exactly was involved in opium and who profitted off of it? Jim Morris does not speak Akha nor has he ever lived with them. He makes light comments about spirit worship as a denunciation of a culture and religion that he knows nothing about. The Catholics organized the first Akha script in Keng Tung, Myanmar around the year 1920.
Jim Morris would imply, as the Queen of Thailand, that the Akha destroy the environment, but this pig headed talk has long been refuted by environmentalists both in Laos and Thailand. For those of you who don't know, read this article on the recently passed Community Forest Act that describes how the Akha are really treated. Why doesn't the bigot Jim Morris mention this? But the most glaring omission of content in Jim Morris' letter is the gross quantities of information that show just how ignorant and racist he is. In Thailand vast tracts of land of the hill people have been confiscated by the Thais and the environment completely destroyed for industrial farming with chemicals at every level polluting the land and water. The Akha experience starvation due to this situation as well as contamination from the chemicals that they are forced to use on land that once belonged to them. This contamination results in a growing number of serious birth defects, such as many baby's born specifically without an anus that causes years of surgery and suffering. Does Jim Morris mention this better life? The Queen of Thailand has stolen thousands of acres of precious farm land. The case has gone before the UN Human Rights Commission. Why does not Jim Morris mention this?
During the Drug War, sanctioned by the US government, the Akhas were murdered like animals. Look here, look at these pics, are these people having a better life? Why isn't OMF's sham missionary investigating these inconvenient truths? These killings have become the substance of a Criminal Case of Genocide to be filed at the International Criminal Court in the Hague before Dec. 25, 2007 by the Akha Heritage Foundation. World wide it is well known by respectable organizations like National Geographic, that the indigenous are the best stewards of the land and that regions that they live in are the most environmentally protected as shown by satelite imagery. To slam the Akha on the issue of the environment is incorrect. The Akha have lost land in great volume, and much of it more than a decade ago, yet that environment is "developed" to death and the water shed is destroyed, but not by the Akhas. Try vast lands used for oranges, all run by Thais, where pesticide use is so great that the government calls for temporary halt to spraying and for the people to stop planting oranges. Neither does Jim Morris mention the huge removals of Akha chilren by missionaries, including OMF. All of these issues that Jim Morris fails to mention in the "better life" of the Akha, are violations of the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. Neither does Jim Morris speak about the hundreds of Akha women who were sterilized by the American Baptist Missionary Paul W. Lewis, while he was getting his PhD. from University of Oregon, oh oh unconvenient truth, how dastardly it is. We have an ongoing campaign at U of O to have Paul W. Lewis' PhD. rescinded, a complaint that we also take to the Governor's Office. I know a vast number of Akha people who are traditional and live according to the "old ways" that Jim Morris as a white man so readily bashes. None of them feel that the culture and life that got them over thousands of years, is somehow inferior. As recently stated on the front page of the New York Times, it is time for white missionaries like Jim Morris to stop telling the Akha how to live and to stop making one sided discriptions of their culture. Corban College is teaching young people the very same racism as their missionary in residence speaks. It is time that young people got the truth, fully what has happened. Will Corban College invite us to speak, we think not, but we would still ask them to send this carpet bagging missionary, Jim Morris packing, they should do that first before asking for funds for their new library, otherwise people may just think it will be full of white racism. Nothing that our children need to be taught. Including our Akha traditional children.
KBOO Nov. 22, 2007 Program
Today we went to Portland and spent an hour on the air. We discuss Janet Taylor and the Salem Kiosks. We discuss Salem Alliance, YWAM, and missionaries removing children. Michu sang a traditional Akha song, and we told listeners what we do and how they can help.

Salem Alliance Picket
Nov. 18th, 2007
We have a bit of a laugh at Salem Alliance, picketing them on Czech National TV video. People ask questions and get answers, I run back and forth up the street asking the people exiting the church if they want anyone taking away THEIR children?
I asked church members if they knew what their money was going for, taking away other people's children? Trading land for conversion, destroying culture? Church members looked very visibly aware that there was some problem involving their church.
A church has got to be nuts to support missionaries who destroy culture, and remain so illiterate as to admit how racist they really are.
This woman has been left alone to fend for herself, and faces near starvation conditions, while taking care of her children. This is the kind of story that the missions don't tell you.
We File Letter of Complaint With Salem Keizer School Board Members
Nov. 16th, 2007
We reject Sandy Husk's letter excusing Phil Rodin's behavior. We have filed a letter of complaint, with the Salem Keizer School Board as according to the Formal Complaint Process.
This is our letter: Dear Salem Keizer School Board: This is my letter to you according to the procedure set forth in the complaint process form I was given. I would like to say at the onset, that I don’t understand how it is that Sandy Husk states that this matter is closed? That is very clearly in exception to what the complaint process calls for, and I regard it as malicious bullying, rather than accurately and constructively addressing the issue of racism that we have at hand. This has been somewhat characteristic of this complaint process. The entire process has been similar to coming before an all white jury. I would certainly appreciate speaking with someone who understands racism from a personal perspective. We have complained that the racist and disregarding statements of Phil Rodin are an affront to our family and our people, the Akha. Phil Rodin has feelings. He speaks from his feelings. What he feels when he is outside of school doesn’t go away when he is in the classroom. He cannot be a part time racist. Racism is not a free speech right. The UN Draft Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples protects indigenous groups such as the Akha. The Geneva Convention on Genocide clearly states that removing individuals from a group to make them members of another group is an act of Genocide. Yet as an affront to us, Phil Rodin has stated that he approves of a video that is on line at Youtube.com and he likes what this organization is doing, and will begin to financially support them. What they are doing is removing Akha girls from their families and villages based on their own discretion, not based on authority of the state, and not based on the consent of the Akha community. The Eden House Children’s Home, run by white missionaries, has become a self appointed ward for Akha children. Further, in the video that Phil Rodin directly approves of, extremely racist remarks are made about the Akha people as a race. These comments are made in order to “justify” the removal of these Akha girls. We find this totally unacceptable, that Phil Rodin would make an affront to us and speak so ignorantly of the rights of indigenous peoples, peoples of a race different than his own.
We have asked that he apologize.
But the incident illustrates something else. Both Cheryl Bower and Sandy Husk have carefully avoided the issue at the basis of this complaint, which is racism. This is not clever. They should have confronted it clearly. Instead they chose to defend Phil Rodin, causing us to believe that they don’t understand what racism is either, or worse yet, as white people they accept and support such attitudes against people like the Akha. When we went to Sprague High School to speak with Cheryl Bower, students in the parking lot began shouting insults at Michu Uaiyue, who is Akha. This added to our concern that racism is very much alive in the Salem Keizer School District. We also note, that with so many Hispanic children in Salem Keizer schools, there appears to be no Hispanic person on the School board. This follows a patter of no Hispanics on the Salem City Council. Patterns beget patterns. We ask that Phil Rodin apologize to us and to the Akha people, we ask that procedures for handling these cases be reviewed, and it would be most clever if some effort was made in Salem to educate students as to who the Akha people are. We find the current situation unacceptable and we find Phil Rodin unfit to teach in the district. Sincerely, Matthew McDaniel Michu Uaiyue
We Make Statement About Phil Rodin at Salem Keizer Board Meeting
Nov. 13th, 2007
Michu and I attended the Salem Keizer Board meeting and I made a statement introducing Michu and the Akha people and that Phil Rodin had said he would support removing Akha chidlren from their villages. I asked the audience if anyone spoke Thai, Burmese, Akha? I spoke to them in those languages. I got no response. I went on in English. I stated that we would not be talking about Imus. We would not be talking about Dog, the Bounty Hunter. We would be talking about Phil Rodin. We didn't want to see anyone making an afront to us about the Akha people.
You can see this on line Live TV at cctvsalem.org Nov. 13th Salem Keizer Board Meeting. Presentation starts at min 43:17 Why didn't anyone further down the chain of command have the intelligence to deal with this issue rather than avoid it. This will not do the Salem Keizer School Board any good. How can they say that what a person does off the clock has nothing to do with what they do on the clock. What they feel about it, is what they feel about it, no matter where they are. I told the School Board I would forward the complaint to them in writing. Why does the School Board not want anyone to mention names? The admin people have said that Phil Rodin can say what he wants, then I have the freedom of speech right to mention Phil Rodin's name in a board meeting.

Salem Keizer School District Superintendent Sandy Husk Silent on Racism
In a letter dated Nov. 5, Superintendent Sandy Husk states that what ever Phil Rodin says apart from his job is his free speech rights. We disagree. We find that hate speech, racist speech, is not acceptable anywhere, and Phil Rodin is not two people, the person who teaches at Sprague and the person who has off time. As Michu puts it, "He said it, he is the same guy who is teaching at Sprague, not some other guy."
Further, Superintendent Sandy Husk seems to think that she has the power to sidestep the entire official complaint process. She states the case is closed. The "Complaint Procedure" form from the school district clearly states that there is an official process and there is a chain of command above Sandy Husk's head that she appears to be forgetting, the Salem Keizer School Board. Further, the case is far from closed. We find the racist comments, the utterly stupid comments by Phil Rodin, that he will finance a mission that removes Akha children from their families, as an afront to us, to Michu, to the Akha people, as totally unacceptable for anyone who is teaching children in the Salem Keizer school district. Never does Sandy Husk state the issue at hand, the content or implication of what Phil Rodin said. She also ignores our requests that were listed in the complaint. Sandy Husk and Sprague Principal Cheryl Bower are attempting to sweep this issue under the carpet.

So what happened?
Indochina's Oppressed Hill Tribes
Nov. 10, 2007 Paul Hunt Ethnic minorities in the Indochina region of South-East Asia have for decades been struggling to survive. They are facing gross abuses of their fundamental rights, atrocities committed against their villages, and adverse "development programmes" perpetrated by nation-state officials, business interests, missionaries and NGOs who often do not consult honestly or openly with the ethnic minorities whose communities they disrupt. Such insensitive and exploitative practices have caused the displacement, immeasurable suffering and dire impoverishment of tens of thousands of hill tribe minorities in the region. Yet this human tragedy has largely been ignored by the media and even by human rights groups. Burma has occasionally been in the spotlight because its illegal military regime has denied the people democratic rights and has few qualms about killing and imprisoning protesters and those who disagree with its brutal policies. A similar state of affairs exists in other nations of the region. Meanwhile, hill tribes have their villages destroyed, lands taken and people killed with impunity while the rest of the world seems hardly to bat an eyelid.

Queen of Thailand Needs to Return the Land of the Akha People
The Queen of Thailand who has seized vast tracts of Akha land in the last three years, needs to return this land to the Akha people. A complaint has been filed with the UN office of HR. A letter of Allegation against the Thai government has been asked for.
The seizure of Akha lands by the Queen radically impoverishes the Akha. While missionries stay silent about these human rights abuses, they take Akha children as "orphans" (Chad case) and seperate them from the culture and identity as they did to Native Americans. Two organizations involved with mission which conduct such activities are Salem Alliance church which supports Lori Crouch, a missionary in Thailand, and YWAM Salem. YWAM Thailand which Salem YWAM sends student volunteers to, operates Eden House which removes Akha teen age girls from their villages.
Phil Rodin Case Taken to the Salem Keizer Committe Level
Our complaint against Salem Keizer School District, Sprague High and Phil Rodin has been submitted to the Committee level of the Salem Keizer School District. We are asking that Phil Rodin be dismissed for his racist comments off campus about the Akha people.
Corban College and OMF:
Info Mekong Mission Web Places Racist Page About the Akha
Info Mekong Info Mekong website has maintained a page on the Akha that is racist and distorted. The page singles the Akha out as a group in hate speech that would be totally unacceptable in the US and other western countries.
Info Mekong is connected to the Joshua Project and OMF. OMF is connected to Corban College in Salem, Oregon, where Jim Morris is the OMF missionary in residence.

YWAM: Just like Akha Fake Orphanages
Chad Orphans Weren't Orphans
Chad Orphans Didn't Need Saving Change the name from Chad to Akha and what the western missions are doing to the Akha in Thailand for decades is no less of a scandal. So interesting all the people shuffling other people's children around, like institutional trafficking. The Akha children in north Thailand are no more orphans than the children from Chad but the churches keep getting away with claiming that the children they take and exploit, are orphans.
These "orphans" had at least one parent and or other relative.
Sprague High Principal Sidesteps Racism Issue
Sprague High Principal Cheryl Bower sidesteps the issue of racism on the part of teacher Phil Rodin by claiming that his political and private religious views are his own rights, his rights to free speech, and not conducted during school hours.
The issue here however is race. Phil Rodin said that he likes what Vern's YWAM mission does. Vern is a white missionary who takes away Akha girls from their own families based on his own criteria. We oppose this activity as racism against the Akha by Vern and YWAM mission. Phil Rodin says he approves of this mission's actiivties. The Akha are Akha. They don't have to be like Vern or Phil. Its pretty arrogant for Vern, his wife and Phil to think that they are the powerful people who will dictate to the Akha what will be. Cheryl Bower is supporting this position.
Do the Akha have any say in this, what white people are allowed to do to them or not? Does free speech give one the right to hate speech? If Phil Rodin is a spontaneous kind of racist while away from the classroom, does that make him fit to teach if he happens to plan on keeping it under wraps in the classroom? Would it be ok for Phil Rodin to belong to the KKK in his spare time and still teach students? Hey, I'm going to support people who take away your children, from your racially inferior culture?
What we point out is that Phil Rodin's statements were aimed at a race of people, the Akha. WHAT PART OF RACE DON'T YOU GET? Why would you say that you would support someone taking away other people's children without state authority, in a foreign country, people of another races, based on a video that presents very few facts but points the culture of the people out as evil compared to white culture? Our statement to Cheryl Bower that she should take some action to make sure students get a balanced view was not of any value apparently. Cover it up. Gloss it over. Hope it goes away. Oh if it were that simple. The formal complaint process form says that both parties should work to resolve the difference. Cheryl Bower has not offered any solution, just an evasion of the issue. Does Cheryl Bower think that Phil Rodin's narrow world view is acceptable? Is she stating that what he thinks in his personal life would not carry over into the classroom? 1/2 time racist? What would she say if Phil Rodin had stated that white families were justified in taking the children of black families away from them, because their culture was evil? We see no difference. We see it as racist. We would note that students in the parking lot yelled insults at Michu as she was leaving the vehicle. Apparently Cheryl Bower's sees no connection. Is there no racism at Sprague? Does Phil Rodin put nooses over people's trees only at half time?

Salem Alliance Picket Spreads to Other Area Churches
We are now taking the Salem Alliance picket to other area churches so that they will know what is going on. Today we picketed Salem Alliance and First Baptist Church.
What was interesting was that at both churches, the first attempt of some of the church people who approached us was to convert us to their way of seeing the "gospel". Anything to get off the subject at hand, the removal of Akha children by missionaries, the coercive conversion practices that Lori Crouch is connected to, trading land for conversion, burning traditional Akha items. The list goes on. Some of the church people were genuinely interested to know what was going on. We had good conversations. Others were only interested to change the subject. Discrimination against the Akha is an issue of race, not just religion. We also continue to tell people about the YWAM video on youtube.com Out in front of First Baptist Church, other people came out and understood what we were talking about, the abuse of indigenous people by missionaries, the removal of Akha children. Others, no matter how passionate, were not able to understand. We took the picket to other parts of downtown Salem, talking to a lot of people and passing out flyers. One man told us he lives at the Union Gospel Mission and that the Union Gospel Mission doesn't like Catholics and won't let a priest come in and hold mass for the Catholics staying there. Why in God's name are people giving money to the Union Gosple mission if this is their attitude?

If Salem Alliance doesn't want to support what Lori Crouch is doing then they need to ask the server people to take the link to their church off their website. But our take on this is that in fact, from the way they behave, they do in fact support this racist agenda.
