FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
Despite decades of legal and political wrangling to halt the building of a massive hydroelectric dam facility at Belo Monte, in the heart of the Brazilian Amazon, all seemed lost as earth-movers and construction teams began arriving in drove to the site earlier this year. But where the words and appeals of those indigenous tribes destined to be displaced by the dam had failed, nearly two-hundred native Amazonians have now gathered in a last ditch effort to protect their homeland using their bodies.
According to a spokesperson from the mostly indigenous protesters, Cleanton Ribeiro, around 150 members from four local tribes began occupying a portion of the construction site where, when completed, the world’s third largest hydroelectric dam would flood thousands of acres upon which they currently reside.
“They are demanding demarcation of their lands, the expulsion of invaders, an improved health system and running water,” says Ribeiro, via the AFP. “They no longer believe in the promises made (by the consortium) and say they will leave only when concrete steps begin.”
According reports from Al Jazeera in Brazil, the tribespeople have so far been effective in halting the dam’s construction, to point. A federal judge has rejected requests from the builders to forcibly remove the protesters, though work on the unoccupied portions is scheduled to continue.
