living together.....

We have a communication problem in Australia. Words that come out of a Black person's mouth are often heard so differently by white ears.

Take the ex-Green now crossbench senator Lidia Thorpe. She is constantly referred to as a "radical". Why? Because she is a champion of First Nations sovereignty.

Is that radical? First Nations people are the sovereign people of this country. This is, was and always will be our country.

The invasion and theft of our land does not change that. Never have our people ceded sovereignty.

I FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE READING THESE WORDS BY WIRADJURI MAN, STAN GRANT. HE IS A GREAT POLEMICIST AND A POWERFUL PHILOSOPHER. HE IS A SENIOR FELLOW FOR ASPI — AN INDEPENDENT, NON-PARTISAN THINK THANK THAT PRODUCES EXPERTS AND TIMELY ADVICE FOR AUSTRALIA’S STRATEGIC AND DEFENCE LEADERS, WE ARE TOLD. 

ASPI IS NOT INDEPENDENT. ASPI IS FINANCED BY WEAPONS MERCHANTS AND WARMONGERS OF THE AMERICAN KIND — THE WORST KIND. 

I KNOW THAT STAN CAN CROSS THE VARIOUS DITCHES OF VIEW POINTS TO SUIT THE MOMENT WITH AMAZING ABILITY. 

YES, THERE WAS NEVER A TREATY BETWEEN THE WHITE-FELLOWS AND THE ABORIGINES. 

YES, THERE HAS BEEN IMMENSE RACISM, FRONTIER WARS AND WORSE STILL — A DELIBERATE IGNORANCE OF ABORIGINAL CULTURE BEYOND A FEW ANTHROPOLOGICAL STUDIES. 

BUT FOR THE PAST FEW YEARS, SOME MIGHTY EFFORTS HAVE BEEN MADE BY THE “WHITE” MONGRELS. AND TO SOME EXTEND, SOMEONE LIKE STAN GRANT HAS BEEN “ASSIMILATED”, DILUTED INTO THE WHITE CULTURE AND MIX OF RACES. HE SPEAKS LIKE A WHITE MAN. NOTHING WRONG WITH THIS.

SPEAKING OF TREATIES, AS A SUNDAY DILETANTE AMATEUR HISTORIAN, UNDER THE GUIDANCE OF JULES LETAMBOUR, GUS KNOWS THE VALUE OF TREATIES. ESPECIALLY THOSE MADE BY WHITE PEOPLE. TAKE THE HORRID PARAGRAPH THAT APPEARED IN SCIENCE MAGAZINE AS THE MAIN EDITORIAL:

Next month will mark 1 year since Russia escalated its war on Ukraine. The senseless casualties and destruction have been met with stunning resilience by Ukraine and international opposition to Russia. Although the war continues, there is hope that Ukraine will emerge as an open and free democracy, which would include rebuilding its scientific enterprise with new infrastructure and laws.

 

THIS IS A DELUDED VIEW POINT THAT SHOULD NEVER MADE IT PASSED THE SCIENTIFIC VALUE OF SUCH A PUBLICATION.

WE KNOW THAT THE WAR IN "UKRAINE" DID NOT HAVE A RUSSIAN ORIGIN. BE FAIR. PLEASE! THERE WERE TWO TREATIES — CALLED THE MINKS AGREEMENTS, THAT THE GOVERNMENT OF KIEV NEVER INTENDED TO HONOUR AND WE ARE BOMBARDED WITH RUSSIANS THIS AND RUSSIANS THAT. 

THE WESTERN MEDIA, I DON’T KNOW ABOUT GRANT’S VIEW HERE — BUT AS AN ASPI FELLOW, ONE WOULD NOT HOLD HOPE OF A FAIR UNDERSTANDING — HAVE SWITCHED THE NARRATIVE FROM NAZIS IN UKRAINE TO PAINT THEM AS “FREEDOM FIGHTERS”. WE FACE THE SAME HYPOCRISY WITH DAESH AND AL QAEDA BECOMING “FREEDOM FIGHTERS” AGAINST ASSAD IN SYRIA!

PLEASE!

AND WE KNOW THAT THE USA IS STILL TRAINING SUCH “FREEDOM FIGHTERS” IN SYRIA, WHILE IMPOSING DRASTIC SANCTIONS ON THE LEGITIMATE DAMASCUS GOVERNMENT THAT HINDER RESCUE EFFORTS AFTER A DEVASTATING EARTHQUAKE, BECAUSE “WE DON’T LIKE ASSAD” LIKE WE “DIDN’T LIKE SADDAM”. THESE ARE YOUR FRIENDS AT THE ASPI. PLEASE!

 

AGREEMENTS AND TREATIES OVER THE COURSE OF HISTORY HAVE RARELY BEEN HONOURED PASSED THE DAY OF THE RELEASE OF A KING ONCE THE RANSOM HAD BEEN PAID.

 

IMAGINE THAT HITLER AND STALIN MADE AN AGREEMENT OF NON-AGGRESSION, WHICH THE WEST THEN — THE ENGLISH, THE FRENCH AND THE AMERICAN — DEPLORED.

WE KNOW THAT SOON ENOUGH IN 1941, HITLER INVADED RUSSIA. 

THE DYNAMICS HERE WERE COMPLEX. 

 

SO WHEN WE READ: “Next month will mark 1 year since Russia escalated its war on Ukraine.” WE SHOULD SHUDDER AT THE BAD FAITH THIS IS WRITTEN, IN SCIENCE. WE KNOW THAT “UKRAINE” WAS (IS) A MIX OF GALICIANS, RUSSIANS AND POLES MOSTLY CREATED BY STALIN. PRESENTLY, THE NAZI ZELENSKY GOVERNMENT IS ELIMINATING ALL THAT IS RUSSIAN FROM THE UKRAINIAN MIX OF CULTURES. THE NAZI KIEV GOVERNMENT IN ITS DISHONOUR OF THE MINKS AGREEMENTS KEPT BOMBARDING THE DONBASS AUTONOMOUS REGIONS, CONTRARILY TO THE AGREEMENTS. THE WEST IGNORED THIS BECAUSE IT SUITS THE AMERICANS' ULTIMATE PLAN: DESTROY RUSSIA. WE HAVE EXPOSED THIS TOO MANY TIMES....

WHAT HAS THIS TO DO WITH ABORIGINAL PEOPLE?

THE HISTORY OF HUMANITY HAS RARELY BEEN CLEAN. FROM THE “WANDERING” GOD-CHOSEN PEOPLE, THE JEWS, TO THE ANGLO/SAXON AND THE BATTLE OF POITIERS, FROM CHARLEMAGNE TO HITLER, THERE HAS BEEN COUNTLESS DEFEATS, VICTORIES AND AGREEMENTS THAT WERE NOT WORTH THE MAGNA CARTA'S PAPER. IMAGINE FOR EXAMPLE THAT JULIAN ASSANGE IS STILL IN PRISON AWAITING DEATH BY AN UNWRITTEN DECREE OF YOUR FRIENDS, THE USA.

I HAVE HAD MANY ABORIGINAL FRIENDS OVER THE YEARS. WE ALL SHARED IDEAS AND MEALS TOGETHER. MOST OF THEM ARE DEAD NOW, KILLED BY LIVER DISEASE, KIDNEY FAILURE, DIABETES, "ACCIDENTS" AND OTHER DISEASES BROUGHT IN BY THE WHITE MAN. THESE DISEASES SO WELL DEPICTED IN THE CAVES OF ARNHEM LAND, Miwatj, BY THE TIME OF CONTACT AS “BAD SPIRITS” THAT BROUGHT IN UNTOLD FEVERS, UNKNOWN THEN TO THE ABORIGINAL PEOPLE.

SHOULD YOU WANT A TREATY, PRAISE WHITLAM FOR HIS FORESIGHT, EVEN IF FLAWED, THEN. PRAISE PAUL KEATING — ALL TRYING HARD TO RECOGNISE THE WRONG THAT WERE DONE AND RETURN SOME OF ABORIGINAL COUNTRIES TO ABORIGINAL PEOPLE. THERE, THE TREATY COULD BE SO THAT YES, ABORIGINAL PEOPLE OWN LANDS AS PER THE MABO AGREEMENT, YET THE WHITE FELLOWS — OR WHATEVER MIXED ASIAN, MIDDLE-EASTERN, EUROPEAN ORIGINS — PAY RENT OF ONE NOMINAL FEE PER YEAR, SAY ONE SYMBOLIC DOLLAR, WITHOUT THE POSSIBILITY TO BE THROWN OUT. 

 

PRESENTLY, THE WHITE CULTURE IS ABSORBING ABORIGINAL SENTIMENTS NOT OUT OF ANCIENT GUILT, BUT BECAUSE THERE IS KNOWLEDGE TO BE SHARED. THIS SHARING HAS PRODUCED POWERFUL ART, AS EXHIBITED IN THE NEW AGNSW WING. ART OF SUCH EXPRESSION HAS ALWAYS BEEN AT THE FOREFRONT OF CIVILISATION SEARCHING FOR PEACE. 

FOR MANY YEARS, WESTERN ART WAS ABOUT KINGS ON HORSES AND CHRIST ON A CROSS. WESTERN MODERN ART HAS DEGENERATED — AS IT SHOULD HAVE, I MAY ADD — IN PERSONAL JOURNEYS OF ARTISTS DISCOVERING THEIR BELLY BUTTON SO TO SPEAK.

AND THIS IS WHERE ART IS LOOKING FOR A VOICE. THIS IS WHERE AUSTRALIA IS LOOKING FOR A VOICE. A VOICE IF FAR MORE POWERFUL THAN A TREATY. AS EXPLAINED EARLIER, THE WHITE FELLOWS DON’T RESPECT TREATIES, EXCEPT IN NEW ZEALAND POSSIBLY. BUT A VOICE IS ACTUALLY AN ETERNAL (IF I MAY USE THIS UNCOUTH UNRELATIVE EPITHET) ECHO OF THE WRONGS THAT HAVE BEEN DONE WHILE PROCLAIMING HOPE FOR AN HONOURABLE UNDERSTANDING OF LIVING TOGETHER. BECAUSE THIS IS THE WAY TO GO: LIVING TOGETHER. WE DON'T HAVE MUCH CHOICE BUT LIVE TOGETHER.

 

AND PLEASE STAN, GIVE UP YOUR FELLOWSHIP OF ASPI. IT’S PHILOSOPHICALLY UNTIDY.

Indigenous Australians Minister Linda Burney will urge Peter Dutton not to make the “same mistake again” on the Voice to Parliament, after he boycotted the apology to the stolen generations. 

Ms Burney will use the 15th anniversary of the historic apology to send a message to those, including Mr Dutton, who walked out of parliament on then-prime minister Kevin Rudd’s formal apology in 2008.

Mr Dutton said he regretted his decision to boycott the apology after he became Opposition Leader last year in May.

“I understand the symbolism and I made a mistake,” he said.

In a speech at the Healing Foundation in Canberra on Sunday, Ms Burney will say it’s easy to claim the apology “didn’t fix everything,” but was about “healing a deep wound” after successive government policies which failed Indigenous Australians. 

“I know that some people who boycotted that historic day in 2008 have since expressed their regret,” she will say. 

“They now admit that it was a mistake. Don’t make the same mistake again.

“When a generous and gracious hand is outstretched – in partnership – it should be grasped. 

“To do anything else would be to repeat the mistakes of the past.”

Ms Burney will say the apology was also the “catalyst for important practical change” including Closing the Gap targets.

She will say now is the time for embracing new ways to address challenges where “old approaches haven’t worked”.

A referendum on enshrining an Indigenous voice in the constitution will be held in the second half of the year, while legislation to enable the vote is expected to be introduced to parliament in March.

Deputy Liberal Leader Sussan Ley said the coalition supported constitutional recognition, but the government had made the mistake of tying it to the voice, an advisory body which it can’t properly explain.

“Don’t take the high moral ground on this Anthony Albanese, simply deliver the explanation about the genuine engagement that you think this voice and the detail of the voice will bring,” she told Sky News. 

“It’s all about the outcomes that Australians want to see.”

Mr Dutton is yet to announce his party’s position on the voice, while the Nationals will oppose it.

Labor Minister Jason Clare said there is high support for the voice in blue-ribbon seats previously held by former treasurer Josh Frydenberg and former prime minister Malcolm Turnbull, which were lost to the teal independents last year.

“I really do hope that the coalition finds it in their heart to get to this position,” he told Sky News.

“Even if they can’t find it in their hearts, I hope they find it in their heads, because if they oppose this, they’ll never win those teal seats back.”
