BACKGROUND ON THE #SENTINELESE
SENTINELESE NEWS-- The John Allen Chau Affair---NOTES FROM ANTHROPOLOGIST RADCLIFFE-BROWN 22 November 2018
(Davidson Lecture Hall)-- Magic, demons and witchcraft may have a greater role to play in the recent death by bow and arrow of the explorer-adventurer JA Chau turned purported "missionary." With a lack of understanding of the nature of the spiritual order of the North Sentinelese, the intruder set himself up for his own demise.
A review of anthropologist Alfred Radcliffe-Brown's own experience with the natives of the Andaman Islands may reveal the mind of the Stone Age inhabitants and their reaction to the appearance of Chau. Mistaken also may be the ethnographic assumption that the natives are "hostile" and choose to be left alone. Contrary to this anti-social interpretation is Radcliffe-Brown's findings that the natives consider only one other color than theirs as "white." There is no distinction between Indian, Chinese or European and this is employed in their belief of the spirits that inhabit the dense jungles of the islands. In Chapter 3 titled "Religious and Magical Belief," of his book, The Andaman Islanders, Radcliffe-Brown gives a compelling argument of the natives' understanding of these spirits,
"One of the most common statements is they are light or white skinned. ..There is a common belief that the spirits of both the jungle and the sea, carry about with them lights, which several men and women have claimed to have seen.", (1)
Had Chau in his possession a flashlight or a light from a mobile phone, he would have easily been mistaken as a jungle or sea spirit. In addition, the fact that his body was found on the beach is consistent with the belief of the natives,
Another reference to the light carried after dark relates to the moon,
"A belief about the moon which is found in all the tribes, both of the North and the South, is that he will be very angry if there is any fire, or any bright light, visible when he rises in the evening shortly after sundown." (1a)
Hence the decision to punish the intruder may have been to placate Maia Ogar, the Moon. The moon was a waxing gibbous on November 21.
" There is a belief that mortals wandering by themselves have been captured by the spirits...all contact with the spirits of the jungle and the sea, or with the spirit of a dead man, is dangerous. ..There is a belief that the spirits feed on the flesh of the dead men or women. The jungle spirits eat those who are buried on land, and the Jurua devour those who are drowned or who are lost at sea."(1)
Hence, by executing the explorer on the beach, the body is far away from the village and can be considered an offering to the sea spirits, responsible for disasters such as cyclones and tsunamis.
Other reports indicate the arrows used have iron arrowheads and a reference to this is made at The Secret Museum of Mankind,
John Allen Chau, according to the Radcliffe-Brown interpretation, because he was "white," was mistaken for a mortal who had been possessed by jungle spirits and carrying the telltale light of the spirits, a flashlight or cellphone, was dangerous and had to be eliminated. Ignorance was the motive, not on the part of the Sentinelese, but on the part of the missionary who failed to understand the deep seated religious-magical beliefs of the islanders.

JOHN ALLEN CHAU MYSTERY--Missionary Explorer on Andaman Archipelago---SUNKEN SHIP ON COAST OF NORTH SENTINEL ISLAND 22 November 2018
(Davidson Laboratory)---A zoom in around the island where the young missionary lost his life on November 21st at the hands of hostile, superstitious natives from the Stone Age who inhabit the small island reveals a startling surprise, a sunken ship on the northwest coast, in a shallow bay.Lat: 11.593549N, Long: 92.212779E
The ship is the Panamanian flagged "Primrose" that sank back in 1981
There has been reports the arrows contained iron tips and this could be the source of those arrowheads. Who knows what else has been salvaged by the natives throughout the years from this sunken relic.
SENTINELESE NEWS---MV Portman 1899--HISTORY OF RELATIONS WITH ANDAMANESE
22 November 2018
(Davidson Laboratory)--Following one of the earliest to write extensively about the archipelago, pre Radcliffe-Brown.
Born in Surrey, Maurice Vidal Portman was just nineteen—two years younger than the British settlement itself—when, in 1879, he was given the impressive-sounding position of Officer in Charge of the Andamanese. (1)

Translated from Gizmodo article (see ref)--
"What is surprising is that Portman got to put foot on the island not one if not twice. Time after the first attempt, and from the vicinity of the Andaman Islands, Portman and his team heard several cannon coming from the vicinity of North Sentinel, a signal they interpreted as coming from a struggling ship. After arriving again at North Sentinel and after several days of unsuccessful search, they decided to return empty-handed. There was, in fact, no ship whatsoever. What Portman heard was actually the explosion and subsequent eruptions of the Krakatoa volcano, one of the most lethal known to man and whose fascinating history is also detailed here. As a fact: the Krakatoa is located about 2500 kilometers from North Sentinel and the Andaman. "(2)
According to the London Morning Post, dated 06 July 1881, Portman delivered a review of the "paper" titled "The Andaman Islands and the Andamanese" at the Royal Asiatic Society, 22 Albermarle Street, Piccadilly.

JOHN ALLEN CHAU--Brainwashed by Christian Fundamentalist Fanatics-- THE SUICIDE MISSION(ARY) 24 November 2018
FUNDAMENTALIST FANATICS AND MIND CONTROL
(The Pub@Northumberland.) More details are beginning to surface on the "training" the victim went through that sent him into a barrage of arrows on a remote island in the Bay of Bengal.

CBS fills in some more blanks about how the kid wound up there in the first place,
"Chau went to 'share the love of Jesus,' said Mary Ho, international executive leader of All Nations. All Nations, a Kansas City, Missouri-based organization, helped train Chau, discussed the risks with him and sent him on the mission, to support him in his life's calling, she added.
'He wanted to have a long-term relationship, and if possible, to be accepted by them and live amongst them, she said " (2)
Turned out it wasn't his "life's calling" at all, but the grave and these fundamentalist fanatics are responsible for the death.
The website itself attributes the founding to Floyd and Sally McClung, and here's Floyd's credentials,
"He is the author of sixteen books, including the best-selling books, The Father Heart of God and Living on the Devil’s Doorstep. " (3)
Below we see Sally and Floyd as sympathetic hippie Jesus freaks listening to two lost youth that they took in at their hostel in a cheap Kabul hotel in 1971. The photo tells it all; the understanding , concerned parental expressions, the bare feet, the crash pad atmosphere. (4)
Below, Floyd is hyped in 1994 Arizona Republic ad with his smiling, I'm going to stick it you, face and "well-loved minister of God's love. " (5)
The McClungs are masters at brainwashing kids who need a goal in life and sending them off to their deaths at the hands of bow and arrow wielding heathens in remote corners of the globe.
All Nations is nothing more than a Sun Moon operation without the converts selling incense in the street. Their students, naïve and young out to make the world a better place by bringing Jesus into everyone's lives, are sent into harm's way by zealots with no consideration at all for their welfare.
Western and ignorant, loaded with ethnocentric righteousness, the fanatics place the blame on the natives, with little understanding of their culture, magic, beliefs and superstitions. John Allen Chau didn't have a prayer.

JOHN ALLEN CHAU CASE--Missionary Denial, Conspiracy, Accomplices, Police Forensics--REPORTS FROM LOCAL CHURCHES & AUTHORITIES 24 November 2018
(The Laboratory)- Details in the case of the American killed by bow and arrow while he was illegally visiting a dangerous island in the Bay of Bengal are now coming to light through a variey of sources. First and foremost is denial that the subject was a "missionary," as reported by local sources, The first denial of missionary status was a statement by Dependra Pathak, director general of police of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands,
"People thought he was a missionary because he had mentioned his position on God and that he was a believer on social media or somewhere online. But in a strict sense he was not a missionary. He was an adventurer. His intention was to meet the aborigines," (1)
The local Christian community also denied any knowledge of the victim's status,
"Bishop Aleixo das Neves Dias of Port Blair, which covers the area, told ucanews.com that the diocese did not have any accurate information about the victim but confirmed that he was not associated with the Catholic mission in the area... Father Dharampal Tirkey, financial adviser of the diocese, told ucanews.com that attributing conversion as Chau's motive 'is part of a malicious attempt to link the unfortunate incident with Christian missionary work.' " (1)
The police have arrested the conspirators who allowed the victim access to the restricted area and are charged as accomplices to the homicide; they attempted to hide the death from authorities, as reported in the Phoenix Post India,
"Subsequently, they returned to Port Blair and narrated the incident to Alexander and handed him the 13 pages of the journal written by John Allen Chau. Alexander in turn informed Bobby Parks, a friend of John Allen Chau, in USA, who in turn informed John Allen Chau’s mother. They didn’t inform the Police or any government authority in this regard... All seven of the aforementioned persons were, therefore, booked and arrested in a separate case for violating the provisions of PAT Regulation and causing death of John Allen Chau." (2)
The local newspaper, Andaman Sheeka, provides some forensics of the case,
"The American tourist John Allen Chau, was reportedly seen killed on 17/11/18 in North Sentinel Islands by a group of five fishermen...As the case pertains to the ultra-sensitive tribal group-Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Group(PVTG), police is also taking help of Anthropologists, Academics, Forest department experts etc to guide & assist the police during the investigation of this case, ..all accused people collaborated with John Chau for this visit to North Sentinel Island." (3)
The Sheeka also reveals where the mission commenced,
"John Allen Chau reportedly hired fishing dinghy from Chidiyatapu area and with the help of some fishermen he reached closed to the Island on 16 November 2018, from where he travelled in his own canoe." (4)
The Times of India reports that a US based fundamentalist group has raised a protest regarding the unfortunate incident,
"...the organisation International Christian Concern has expressed concerned and sought action on the matter ." (5)
The International Christian Concern (ICC) group labels the Sentinelese a "hostile tribe,"
"Sources claim that Chau was killed by hostile members of the Sentinelese tribe after arriving on North Sentinel Island. " (6)
Apparently the ICC has little understanding of the Sentinelese beliefs in magic and religion as outlined in a previous Eyeless on Campus post, #SENTINELESE NEWS-- The John Allen Chau Affair---NOTES FROM ANTHROPOLOGIST RADCLIFFE-BROWN (7) The reaction to the intruder may very well have nothing at all to do with being "hostile" and is an ignorant, ethnocentric Christian bias from an organization that knows little of the culture of the Andaman island tribe.
Case Summary: Failure to follow procedure, by not registering his trip, in collusion with some local fishermen whose only interest was self-interest in the form of a bribe, and with the help of conspirator known only as "Alexander," the thrillseeker, under the guise of a Christian missionary, was executed by tribesmen, out to protect their culture.
