There is an insurgency underway in Australia – an attempted political and cultural coup. It is conducted by a small group of insurgent thugs. And they are getting away with it. Those responsible for defending Australia against the insurgent forces do nothing. They are doing nothing because they are either colluding with the insurgents or are too gutless to do anything about it. Either way, the insurgency calls for a response.
Most Australians are sick to death of having reinvented ceremonies forced upon on them. We are sick to death of having an animist religion forced on us. We are sick to death of large tracts of land being given away to people who have a claim based on race – often a ludicrous claim by those indistinguishable from the average Australian. It has to stop.
The Age has today reported yet another declaration of war by the insurgents who in the dark of night – where they belong – have brought down another statue of Captain Cook. They used an angle grinder to saw it off at its ankles. The report provides a video of the insurgents at work. This is how confident they are in their work of insurgency – confident nobody will act. They left their usual message:
‘THE COLONY WILL FALL’
It hardly needs saying. There is no colony. There is a nation that had its origin in January 1788. The new nation extinguished whatever society was before it, as primitive as it was. All those who now receive its benefits tacitly assent to its laws and government. A nation has a right to defend itself against attempts to destroy it. These are notion civilized people have agreed to through the centuries.
Let the insurgents know that Australia will fall over the dead bodies of a multitude of Australians if it comes to that.
The warning is there.

Cooks’ Cottage statue toppled in latest attack on Melbourne monuments
By Alex Crowe, The Age, February 27, 2024
A bronze statue of Captain James Cook has been hacked off its plinth in a Melbourne park, prompting a police investigation.
The sculpture of the British explorer at Cooks’ Cottage in East Melbourne’s Fitzroy Gardens was cut off between 5pm on Sunday and 7am on Monday, causing it to fall to the ground.
A video posted to an anonymous social media account shows masked vandals using an angle grinder to saw the statue off at its ankles, before pushing it over.
The words “the colony will fall” were painted beside the fallen statue, according to the account.
“Yet another monument to the imperialist James Cook has been felled in so-called Melbourne. Rumour has it that this was the last remaining Cook statue in the city,” the post on Instagram says.
“Monuments such as this only serve to prop up the narrative that enables so-called Australia’s continuing theft and desecration of land and life, and to legitimise its ongoing violence.
“This narrative is as hollow as a monument to a long dead coloniser who met his just fate, being speared by first nations warriors in Hawaii.”
According to the Captain Cook Society, the statue was sculpted by Marc Clark in 1973, and was owned privately before it was gifted to the City of Melbourne in 1996. The sculpture was moved into the garden at Cooks’ Cottage the following year.
Built in 1755, Cooks’ Cottage was the Yorkshire home of Captain Cook’s parents, with the two-storey brick house and its adjoining stable taken apart and shipped from England to be rebuilt in Melbourne. The attraction was publicly opened in 1934.
The targeting of Cook’s statues follows similar incidents in Melbourne on the eve of Australia Day.
