Please forward widely. Matthew McDaniel was in Thailand many years until a year ago
when he was deported for his activism to save the Akha hill tribes from
exploitation, torture, imprisonment, child theft, land expropriation, and especially
for his activism exposing the thousands killed since 2003 from Thai police/army
drug-war death squads aided by U.S. equipment, funding, and training. Matthew has
been documenting this for years at the UN and on his Yahoo Groups and in his
publications. The major part of the coverage of the drug-war death squads begins in
the Akha Yahoo Group message archive beginning in the 2003 section:

Subject: [AkhaWeeklyJournal] Akha Journal: US State Department Terrorizes Family of
Dissident
For Immediate Release and Publication.
Dear Friends:
Please pass this information on.
The US Government is sure to reward those who blow the
whistle on its murderous acts around the world.
It is a year since my deportation without arrest from
Thailand. It is a year since the US Embassy in
Thailand denied knowing anything about the
deportation,
My three infant children and now a new born, making
four, and my wife, continue to be stranded in Thailand
without adequate housing or medical care.
The state department continue to deny that they have
any clue what is going on or how this could be
happening, while they delay and fail to properly
process legal paperwork through stage after stage.
The family has been repeatedly threatened by Thai
security forces.
Write some one, tell a friend, let people know what
the US is really all about.
Not all of us Americans support the war in Iraq, the
murdering of children, collateral damage, the US drug
war, and certainly not Pres. Bush, a despot if ever
there was one.
Sincerely,
Matthew McDaniel
US State Department Terrorizes Women and Children!
April 15, 2004 to April 15, 2005
Documenting the Secret US Drug War In Thailand - US
Sponsored Death Squads!
Eric Rubin, John Aloia, US Consulate Chiangmai, US
Embassy Bangkok - Ambassador Daryl Johnson, Department
of Homeland Security
One year after deportation, US State Department
Continues to Terrorize Wife and Children In Thailand!
Lies, Delays, Failure to Respond, Failure to Answer
Congressional Inquiries - US State Department Punishes
Wife and Four Infant Children Of US Dissident!
Blockages of Immigration paperwork, endless delays,
lost time, excuses, “procedure”, State Department
denies any knowledge of targeting dissident’s family.
One year has gone since Matthew McDaniel’s deportation
from Thailand for opposing the US Drug war death
squads, US mission removals of Akha children and the
Thai government’s continued seizure of Akha rice
lands. In that time the US Consul in Chiangmai, Eric
Rubin, who was repeatedly informed of US drug war
abuses and extra judicial killings remained silent. US
Embassy personnel such as Emily Fisher denied any
knowledge of a deportation. Vice Consul John F. Aloia
delayed paperwork, refused to answer emails, and hid
behind procedure in processing the families paperwork.
Four children, all US citizens, continue to be
stranded in Thailand, ranging in age from 6 months to
four years. The US State Department claims no
knowledge of visa application delays of the children’s
mother, now delayed for months. Wife and children have
now been stranded in Thailand without proper housing
or medical care for one year.
The US State Department continues to act punitively
and without accountability in a country where dissent
is increasingly suppressed. Targeting women and
children is acceptable. A government out of control.
The US State Department in Bangkok and the US further
denied the trafficking of other Akha children from
Thailand to Sacramento, California area, despite the
fact that these children were identified and contacted
in Sacramento.
Violation of Civil and Constitutional Rights in US has
become the norm.
The terrorists against women and children are the
arrogant “little Eichmanns” of the US government.
No relationship to the “freedom and democracy” they
teach in schools and preach in “Iraq”. And all the
dead children marched endlessly in the night.
