In my opoinion, it's exploitation rather than racism which is responsible for all the chaos. Capitalism has failed humanity big time. I very much doubt that New Guineans would have not been exploited, had they been white. It's a phenomenon above racism. Exploitation, if you can, you will. no questions about that. Like in IRAQ, In Africa, in India and in Afghanistan(although they relatively have paler skin colour). It's a race for resources.
thank god for independent media like journeyman pictures that I get exposed to papa new guinea. soo much injustice in the world, its really sobering :(
I predict, The money from this project will never reach the needy and will only fuel a drug /alcohol fueled banana republic i.e. in the pockets of a privileged few.
I hope the protesters win... for sure, Papa New Guinea has so much to lose if these deals go through. They're trying to do the same thing in Ithaca, NY.
While I grieve for these people, I do come to the conclusion that this is yet another sign that the world is overpopulated. How many people and groups want royalties? How could all of these people be satisfied while maintaining investment return? While oil and gas is wildly profitable, too many fingers in the pie is just that. And further, as was noted, the government of Papa New Guinea has received how much? and has done what? It's not only the evil corporations here.
@amberled Has a lot to do with the nature of European civilization. Europe killed each other for thousands of years until finally setting their sights on other peoples. So when they did, the warfare, what we now call total war was completely new to the people they encountered. No other culture is as bloodthirsty, brutal, and violent than European culture. Their economic polices and actions are similarity brutal and ruthless.
@FlatulenceFox i am glad you clarified this.they are not black because they are not of direct Bantu or Nubian extraction.Pretty much in the same way an Italian can't look like a Norwegian phenotypically ( yes I know there are exceptions).Those people are just dark skinned just like south indians and sri lanki are dark.
@cannoir people of sri lanki do have african heritage. from the Ademan association: 1. The Malaysian Negrito 2. The Philippine Negrito 3. The Shompen of Great Nicobar 4. The Moken of the Burma Coast 5. The Vedda of Sri Lanka 6. The Veddoid of Southern India 7. The Dravidians of India 8. The Naga of India 9. The Kubu of Sumatra and others
@Idyllsofmarch You just proved my point. You are in favor of conquest because you are on the winning side. If you are like me, Eastern European and Irish, or just not Western/Central European, then you look at Western European culture as murderous. To me, killing people and subduing them without provocation successfully is not a badge of honor, its disgraceful. And if you think that conquering is different than murdering and being bloodthirsty, then you cant see the forest for the trees.

again, nobody, mentioning, that trees, absorb carbon dioxide, lose the trees, whats, going to, mop up, the carbon dioxide, you enjoy, breathing dont you ?
@cymonebreathe the only thing i dont like about this media representation here is that the problem is said to be a wrong distribution of the "benefits of this development project". this is going to KILL THE ENVIRONMENT and such "benefits" are NOTHING compared to the dignity of the country's status as a natural jewel .
you know what, all this racism out here is killin' me. there are no cultural groups that are evil from within; it is always the same, people within bad living conditions, lack of food and lack of security, always have tried to do anything just to change it. just like the economic reasons made some Europeans wanting to conquer some places, tribe leaders in parts of Africa sold off people they arrested during conflicts or that injured tribe law to European slavetraders. so don't be silly!!!!
Papua is an imensely rich rescourse nation, my host country share half an island with these guys. Our side most of the whites are from USA while on their side they r mostly aussies.
think people, before you sell your land, the oil ,gas, gold,, is given to you by GOD to bless you, so you can have a good life here on earth , but yet you are giving it away to the white man, why cant you see GODS blessings for you and you keep the land,and its wealth for you and your children, think people!! think!!,
@FlatulenceFox Actually, like the austronesians, the have genetic markers that are only found in africans groups Infact, they call themselves black and even Austronesians, they Contain a group of people called Negritos who are found from south asia, the south pacific and Brazil. If you look hard enough, you can find the few rare pictures of many groups who are now considered extinct. The research does not just look at skin, but at DNA and language.
@youngbuck189 nice write up youngbuck. spread the truth bro.You need to keep those revisionists and all those people who romancize past ( and recent ) murder-conquests.I am surrounded by people who still use terms such as "the colonies" when they are refering to oversea department.They really think they are holier than thou.
@go311 Not knowing about a group of people or being ignorant of their existence is totally different from hating them. To Hate is a conscious decision and it means you have intense aversion or hostility towards someone or some group based on fear, anger or some sense of injustice. With that being the case if you say you hate these people then you do have a strong emotion. Being that you have never even met one Papuan, it is clear that your hatred is extremely irrational and ignorant.
@go311 Yes, but have you noticed that there relatively petty tribal disputes and wars don't affect anything or anyone outside of their immediate area. Whereas, when the "civilized" countries have disputes and conflicts entire regions of countries are affected. And let's not even get into the level of butchering that the so-called "civilized" countries do at a level that is so industrially efficient and impersonal. I think I can deal withe folks who live in mud huts when they have a dispute.
@Yogiphildas Every single traditional African religion is monotheistic and those cultures haven't exhibited the same behavior? The problem is within us human beings, not religion, race, etc. Those are just excuses, distractions from having to look at ourselves. Their own spokesman says to them "You blindly signed it!" They're fighting each other and signing their land away. "Allah will not change the condition of a people until they seek to change themselves." -Quran 17:31
@go311 rac·ism (rszm) n. 1. The belief that race accounts for differences in human character or ability and that a particular race is superior to others. 2. Discrimination or prejudice based on race Not sure how much clearer of a deifinition you would need.
@RedGunBullets So people like yourself believe exactly what the documentary wanted you too. What these never tell you is how much of the profit goes out of the country to foreign business . The governments of these countries are getting a pittance, which they do waste. But let's not blame the victims smart guy.
@go311 I have no problem dealing with a racist. My posting the definition was not to silence you; it was to give you clarification about what and who you are. And, of course being a racist is not a postive thing. It is quite disgusting, primative, and it is the mark of a moral degenerate. Most of all it is irrational. So it follows that all you have to say is hightly suspect and misinformed. But as far as your being a bigot goes, hey, as long as you know you are one it is fine with me.
@GGLebo23 you just took away all credit from any black person who ever made it in politics or the justice system or as a business owner to make your racist point that only whites are working in those areas. lol...i love when people do that, as if there are no blacks in politics or own businesses...
@youngbuck189 im not blaming the so called "victims" why are they actaullyl victims? did the losed somthign or just hat to continiue ther live like always? of course its bad not to help this peopel by devoloping ther rigion more which should be absolutly done 100% but ther is not argument what so ever to try to stop this EXTREMLY poor nation to develop, so a statments like they should no do it and if they do they are evil is not even funny its ridicules
Excellent video! Keep up the great work! This mirror brings light to our humanity.

$16,000,000,000 and no locals benefit by $1.
fuked up
TBH, I reckon we should just leave them alone. I'd like to keep my country independent and free from globalism, so should they if they want to.
I hope the protesters win... for sure, Papa New Guinea has so much to lose if these deals go through.
They're trying to do the same thing in Ithaca, NY.
its bloody obvious, if you educate them, they can, learn, how to take out, law suits, against the exploiters, thats a no no ?
we are supposed to be caretakers of Earth. We are Earth!
While I grieve for these people, I do come to the conclusion that this is yet another sign that the world is overpopulated. How many people and groups want royalties?

and the 'prosperity' of Papua New Guinea

Migrated from Africa you stupid
GO Papua New Guineans! Resist!
I've heard this story before. Big coporation promises prosperity and puts the people in poverty.

Australia want gas from PNG, and Amerika want gold,silver from PAPUA INDONESIA
money kills
@mysticx0 wtf are you even talking about anymore. What does this have to do with my comment or your original one?
@plastof i agree
@TheAndinsky ... it is rather that there are no racial groups that are evil from within..., cultural may be indeed... like racists...
@go311 So who is Australia to be bowed down to?? they have their country we have ours!!! We would be better of if you did not leave Europe.

@GGLebo23 theres always an excuse...lol. lets say i agreed with you. explain jamaica. sudan. somalia. nigeria. liberia. i could go on and on.

@THE48LAWS An Essay
Couldn't help myself.
@GGLebo23 you just took away all credit from any black person who ever made it in politics or the justice system or as a business owner to make your racist point that only whites are working in those areas. lol...i love when people do that, as if there are no blacks in politics or own businesses...
@mysticx0
majority=control=power

LEAVE US THE FUCK ALONE!!!
@blackkat888 unfortunately for you, "from a very higher perspective," that is your subjective point of view, not objective reality as you pretend.
@RedGunBullets but you are babbling nonsense

@RedGunBullets learn to spell before babbling nonsense.
