The Nefarious Missionary

The missionaries in northern Thailand are not so much more horrible than what white people and their missionaries have been doing to the indigenous all over the world, in the name of Jesus, for the last millenium. What makes them unique, is that after "repenting" for all those infamous abuses, the missionaries are still here, still doing it, NOW. Nothing has changed. You can not change a tiger's stripes.

They use the teachings, the person, the message of Jesus, to hide what they would do with a hammer and a gun anyway. Their actions and reality have little to do with Jesus, and certainly do not convey the message of Jesus.

Missionaries impose their fascist theology of race on people who did not invite them.

In northern Thailand these bigoted people stand for American hegemony and cognitive imperialism as they always have, taking ownership of the indigenous, while other people are busy taking the land of the indigenous. In this case the Akha.

Missionaries like Paul Lewis set the standard for thinking about the indigenous and giving respectability to the process they impose on the Akha. With backing from people like Dr. McDaniel (no relation to the owner of this web site) and McCormick Hospital in Chiangmai, he sterilized hundreds of Akha women if not thousands, leaving them to rot in their villages. (What could explain this behaviour? Paul and Elaine were themselves childless, somehow, these fertile Ahka women, had to be stopped, their wombs shut up!)

As a missionary while destroying the culture of as many of the traditional Akha villages as he could in Burma, Paul Lewis continued to play a second card that he was somehow an anthropologist and interested in their culture and lives, going to conferences, and writing a book that has sold widely in many many languages. Yet the conditions for the Akha people continued to plunge as people like himself, quoted his name and followed his example, exploiting the Akha.

While missionary related individuals like Bill Young were involved in close proximity to the drug trade in Laos during the Vietnam war, Gordon Young was busy in Burma organizing the Lahu in similar manner. "Missionary" was excellent cover for organizing and controlling people in someone else's country, as it has always been, under the cloak of things that nice white boys are allowed to do.

Paul Lewis was similarly involved with the CIA in Keng Tung until he and many other missionaries were forced to leave Burma for this reason. The Burmese had no interest see Shan State turned into a American Proxy state near to China. The defeated Kumintang Army, which the CIA had supported to fight China, retreated and was forced out of Burma by the Burmese army and entered Thailand where they went to setting up heroin labs while funded by the CIA.

The heroin continued to flow to the US at the hands of highly placed people, involving the Nugan Hand Bank in Sydney Australia and a broad network of people left over from the Vietnam CIA era who were, addicted. For excellent information on this there are a score of books, Air America, The Ravens, The Politics of Heroin in South East Asia - CIA and the drug trade, Defrauding America and many others.

Bill Young of Chiangmai, cannot explain his activities in Laos nor his presence in Thailand to this day. For interesting connections of Bill Young, and what he was really up to go to www.namebases.org and type his name into the data base. The name of every famous drug dealer in Laos of the Vietnam era will appear.

Coming from a missionary family, his relatives continue to set up orphanages for taking hill tribe children and God knows what else, as Bill will be a hard act to follow.

And this is only the backdrop. With a level of arrogance unparalled in the world, the American missionaries continue to divide and take over, to buy conversion, to buy an impoverished people away from their culture, so that they can be owned, in a time of few economic choices. The missionaries, all white, feel no shame, shame for these people would not be possible, they have had their consciences seared.

On this web section we will present all the latest data on the missionaries in northern Thailand and their exploitation of the Akha and particularly the removal of their Akha children.
