Hallo Clive,
My name is Erwin.
I write from germany. My english is limited. So don’t look at mistakes.
I write to you because it is history what happens in Bougainville. History because it is a rare situation that people can create their own country.
From Gaza to Kahnawake. From Palestine to the Mohawk land – you can see, the US Dollar rules against the interest of the people.
I worked in Kahnawake. Kahnawake is the capital of the Mohawks – situated near Montreal / Canada. Do you know that the Mohawks have two Governments ?
One is for the own people and the other is to negotiate with Canada.
This is because the lie is not allowed in the Mohawk culture.
But with Canada the Mohawks say : We made more than 400 contracts with them.
We fullfilled all – They fullfilled not one.
I worked together with the Mohawks Government. Our main problem was to finance the country. Schools, streets, bridges, hospitals, school busses,…
It was not possible to take more than 50% taxes from the people and the companies as it is Europe. So we created a tax that everybody has to pay who lives on Mohawk land.
What is the solution for this problem in Bougainville ?
What kind of tax does James Tanis, John Momis and others want to create ?
It would be nice to hear from you
Many thanks
Erwin

Thanks so much for touring Australia and letting us know more about the common problem we share of human greed and human pollution of Mother Earth.
We look forward to more natural defence action to prevent human destruction of Mother Earth by human mining companies and especially those created and controlled by New York and London based high finance, such as the IMF (International Monetary Fund) that partially owns and operates the governments over Papua, USA, Britain, France, etc.
Natural Defence Examples: earthquakes, cyclones, typhoons, volcanos, tornados, drought, floods, disease, plagues, failures of human technology systems, visits by Angels, Nature Spirits, etc.

Keep up the good work Clive… Look at PNG politicians and landowners selling their souls and allowing their land to be raped. Bougainvilleans never wanted the mine and never wanted to be with PNG but no one listened to their cries. Instead there was genocide against innocent indigenous people.
I salute everyone who fought to defend the dignity and sovereignty of their land. Never give in to the Capitalist exploiters.

You will get to know who I am when you get to the bottom of the crisis origins, but thank you for setting this up postings and updating ourselves, most importantly is to advocate on protecting our ‘stolen rights ‘, there’s more from me to be shared

HI Clive,
I met you in Melbourne, Australia, in Dec 2011, at the Ross House, where you screened your second film on Mekamui to a Christian organisation.
I met you before the screening and starting learning about the issue and what you are working for. It was an interesting chat.
Good to see the initiative of your community and yourself.
Keep up the good work.
Much encouragement,
Suresh
Hi Clive,
I am a soon to be graduate of the University of North Florida and I have been trying to find contacts in Bougainville to try and become a volunteer teacher. Could you direct me to the proper person/group?
Dear Clive,
It was wonderful to meet you today. You are a very inspiring individual, and I look forward to working with you in the future.
Peace and absolute respect,
Lilli

hey Clive Really great work you are doing !!
Clive, maybe the mine is the only way forward, i was there in 2001 with PMG, and i love the place, people and culture, but only if all bougainvillians can bond together, and lay down your laws, rights and plans for a better future, then maybe you can create a beteer future for your people, love you work….
