"The Sun, the hearth of affection and life, pours burning love on the delighted earth." --Arthur Rimbaud (1854-1891)



We come from savages; To savages we will return, peaceful nature loving peoples living in harmony with nature

Deep in the mountainous jungle of Malaysia the aboriginal Sng'oi exist on the edge of extinction, though their way of living may ultimately be the kind
of existence that will allow us all to survive.

The Senoi : . are believed to have arrived on the Malaya Peninsula about 8000 to 6000 B.C during the Middle of the Holocene period, the population of the Malay Peninsula has undergone significant changes in its biological physiognomy, material culture, production skills and language. They were partly caused by the arrival of migrant farmers from the more northern parts of mainland Southeast Asia (Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam). The arrival of migrants is associated with the emergence of fire-cutting agriculture on the Malay Peninsula and the emergence of rice. As a result of mixing new groups with local Negrito tribes, the ancestors of the Senoi, who lived in the northern and central parts of the peninsula. The introduction of agriculture has led to the semi-permanent residence of related groups, as well as the formation of more stable social structures in their environment. The refusal of constant movement prompted the formation of individual local communities and peoples.

The population of the peninsula is divided into two groups, each with its own stable socio-economic complex, namely Semang and Senoi people. The Semang people lived in dense rain forests located at altitudes below 300 meters above sea level, and were engaged in nomadic hunting and gathering. Senoi lived at higher altitudes and cultivated their agricultural land. Contacts between the two groups were minimal, the Senoi people only exchanged their agricultural produce for jungle gifts.

The rise of the Malay states first turned the Senoi people into subordinates and after the establishment of Islam, they were regarded as despised pagans and kafirs. The lifestyle of the Orang Asli, their clothing traditions, as well as their physical characteristics among the Malays became the object of ridicule. In the 18th and 19th centuries, Orang Asli fell victim to slave raiders, mostly Malays from Sumatra. The indigenous people were not Muslims, so they were not banned from being enslaved by other Muslims. Typically, well-armed men attacked a village or camp at night, killing adult men and women and capturing children. So, fuck Islam, who treat the rest of the world worse than dogs. And fuck Judaism, who treat the rest of the world like cattle. Something's gotta give.

• Modern culture destroys the lifestyle of indigenous peoples of the world who exist in complete harmony with the natural world and each other.

• Indigenous study reveals a model of a society built on trust, patience, and joy rather than anxiety, hurry, and acquisition.

• Senoi life shows how we can reconnect with the ancient intuitive awareness of the world's original people.

• Given the presence of satanic humans, hell bent on destroying this planet.
