Hysteria meets facts about colonialism

Leave a comment

The video below is of an attempted debate about British colonialism between historian & broadcaster Rafe Heydel-Mankoo and television personality Narinder Kaur.

While Rafe Heydel-Mankoo reels off basic facts about British colonialism, Narinder Kaur launches into a screaming rant. Kaur drops to the depths of imbecility with the accusation that Heydel-Mankoo ‘sounds quite mad.’

Narinder Kaur is representative of many female commentators – though most are younger than Kaur – whose views are driven solely by emotion, often wild emotion. They have an emotion about a particular issue, and that’s the end of it. Say what you want, it does not matter. Come with the most undisputed facts, it makes no difference. In Australia we have a clone of Kaur – Lidia Thrope. You could not meet a greater crackpot than Thorpe.

There are more than 5,000 comments on this ‘debate’. I have included two below that are representative.

Rafe Heydel-Mankoo has his own channel. I highly recommend it. His fluency and grasp of historical detail is impressive.

1 month agoI have a headache after listening to this woman. $500 hair , $300 nails, $1000 outfit, screaming at everyone on a public forum that she is somehow opressed by the people who gave her everything including the freedom to yell and scream at everyone. Bloody hell…..

The purveyor of fakery reinventing Aboriginal history

For me the main point of Andrew Bolt’s dismissal of charlatan Bruce Pascoe’s concoction of Aboriginal history is that the mainstream media has swallowed it and awarded the unabashed fabricator the highest honor in Australian journalism – a Walkley. The award makes a farce of the Walkleys. A person of the minutest degree of reason could never take them seriously. Indeed, for most leftist journalists the Walkleys is merely another tool in their propaganda armoury.

‘Fake’: Bruce Pascoe’s doco slammed for treating the ‘most ludicrous propaganda’ as true

Sky News host Andrew Bolt says the agenda of racial division and propaganda is continuing in Australia.

Mr Bolt said, “fake aborigine” Bruce Pascoe’s documentary ‘The Dark Emu Story’, which defends Mr Pascoe’s “fake history”, won The Walkley for Best Documentary.

“What’s going on here is like organised, government-funded lying – a conspiracy against truth and the public to push a very divisive, racial agenda,” he said.

Mr Bolt slammed Mr Pascoe’s documentary for treating the “most ludicrous propaganda” as true.

“The next time the journalists who run the Walkleys tell you they’re in the truth business, laugh in their face,” he said.

‘Just say NO!’

This article in Spectator Australia summarises all the major objections which make the VOICE the huge con that it is. But what I like about it most is the cover and illustration by Sarah Dudley and Ben Davis. One should copy it and pass it around. It could not be more eloquent.

*****

‘Just say No,’ was the catchphrase of Nancy Reagan back in the 1980s. The slogan was used to encourage people to stay away from drugs. It was in response to the ‘crack’ epidemic, which saw a cheap but highly addictive derivative of cocaine flooding schools and universities, not to mention the streets of major cities. The premise behind the Reagan campaign was simple: you don’t need a raft of complicated reasons or arguments against this drug. A one-word No will suffice.

The slogan could equally apply to the proposal for an Indigenous Voice to parliament, which Australians have been asked to vote on in a referendum later this year. For many well-meaning Australians, the idea of voting Yes to the Voice is as tempting as those cheap, feel-good drugs were to 1980s teens. Get a warm inner glow as you assuage any guilt about the plight of Aborigines in Australia, and show your friends, family and colleagues just how cool you are. It’s a pretty cheap fix.

But the reality is that the Voice is no fix at all; certainly not a fix to the genuine problems facing disadvantaged indigenous Australians every day. What it will do, however, is fix the political need of our bureaucrats and left-wing politicians to be seen to be ‘doing something’ after decades of continual and shameful failure. If the Yes vote succeeds, from that moment on our elected representatives will be absolved of any responsibility for the dismal state of affairs in remote communities. All they need do is simply kowtow to the policies prescribed by the Voice.

Who is Australian?

The message below was included in the latest email from the federal Liberal member for Bowen, Henry Pike. Not only do Redlands public school teachers display their bigotry and adherence to the system of apartheid proposed by the Aboriginal elite, they show a deep-seated ignorance of what constitutes a nation.

Of course, we wouldn’t expect primary school teachers to be versed in political philosophy. But you expect them to have an inkling of what aspects would be considered when talking about the concept of nation. I refer the reader to the links on my homepage where I deal with the idea of nation in detail.

The essential aspect of a nation, however, is that it is a moral and political incorporation of a people developed over time and not just a mass of land. Indeed, a mass of land is a mass of land until a people organize over it. Australia refers to the nation built by the British settlers after the arrival of the First Fleet. The Aboriginals had little to do with it.

Henry Pike MP:

This is a slide used in a Redlands public school last week to teach our kids that a non-indigenous Australian should be referred to as an “occupier” or “coloniser” but shouldn’t be called “Australian”.

Is this man an Aboriginal?

This is Marcus Stewart described as a ‘Nira illim bulluk man of the Taungurung Nation’.

But I say this is a white European man whose ancestry is most likely in one or other Germanic tribe of Northwest Europe. Put a horned helmet on his head, a wolf skin around his neck, a sword in one hand, and shield in the other, he could convincingly pass as an extra in a television series about the Vikings.

But Marcus has long paraded unashamedly before the glare of the television cameras as an Aborigine. Does he really think he fools anyone but the most biased activists – indigenous of non-indigenous – that collection of fanatics who are conning the Australian people into accepting a system of apartheid?

Today Marcus is reported as accusing Senator Jacinta Nampijinpa Price of hating Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders.

“I don’t think I’ve come across anyone that hates Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander — or seems to hate Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people so much,”

In another report, white European Marcus is recorded as saying, ‘We have a far-right politician in Senator Nampijinpa Price out there spreading lies, spreading mis- and disinformation.’

This is typical of the abuse fakes like Marcus resort to when confronted with arguments against the YES campaign. Marcus and his faux-Aboriginal mates will spout this sort of abuse until the last moment of the campaign to establish the parasitic nation of their fantasies.

Senator Price was not lost for words as reported in the Daily Mail:

‘What can I say? I’m used to powerful Aboriginal men personally attacking me when they feel like they’re on the backfoot … And evidently that’s where Mr Stewart is at … This reeks of desperation from the Yes campaign … [Mr Stewart is] completely removed from the Indigenous people [in her family and in the most vulnerable communities] … He has been part of the Aboriginal industry and done very well for himself]

‘All I’ve been fighting for, for many years now, is for my mob in the bush to have the same sorts of opportunities that he has had in life.’

Of course, she is absolutely right.

The great difference between Marcus and Senator Price is that Senator Price has a full-blood parent and grew up in outback Aboriginal society while Marcus is the product of the white urban middle class.

The (deceptive) Voice

The deceit is being slowly laid bare. The Voice is the biggest con in Australia’s history. The small clique of Aboriginal elites have only ever wanted to grab land and wealth from 95 percent of the population to create a separate country. If they succeed, it will be the biggest shakedown in history.

Final Report of Referendum Council: Voice to Parliament will lead to Treaty, Reparations

David Hiscox, XYZ, 20 April 2023

A Freedom of Information Request has resulted in the publication of the Final Report of the Referendum Council, which you can read in full here.

Unsurprisingly, it reveals the intention of aboriginal activists for the so-called “voice to parliament” to lead to a so-called “treaty” which could in turn lead to “reparations”. An excellent summary has been provided by Aboriginal Voice Exposed:

Secret government documents the National Indigenous Australians Agency was forced to release under freedom of information laws say that “any Voice to Parliament should be designed so that it could support and promote a treaty-making process”.

And what’s in the treaty?

According to these secret documents, it must include a “fixed percentage of Gross National Product. Rates/land tax/royalties”.

The documents explain:

… a Treaty could include a proper say in decision-making, the establishment of a truth commission, reparations, a financial settlement (such as seeking a percentage of GDP), the resolution of land, water and resources issues, recognition of authority and customary law …

This a direct quote from the secret Voice documents:

“Australia got a whole country for nothing, they haven’t even begun to pay for it.”

Doesn’t that just tell you everything you need to know?

But it gets worse.

According to these documents, they want to abolish the Australian flag, because “the Australian flag symbolised the injustices of colonisation”.

What’s modest about forcing you to change your flag or pay a percentage of the entire economy as reparations?

Again, you can read the entire document here. It makes for startling reading. We can make a few brief observations.

Note that the document was published on 30 June, 2017. The process leading to this year’s referendum has been long and bipartisan:

In 2010 Prime Minister the Hon Julia Gillard established the Expert Panel on the Recognition of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples in the Constitution, co-chaired by Patrick Dodson and Mark Leibler, which reported in 2012. Prime Minister the Hon Tony Abbott established a Joint Select Committee on Constitutional Recognition of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples, co-chaired by Senator Ken Wyatt and Senator Nova Peris, which reported in June 2015. Prime Minister the Hon Malcolm Turnbull and Opposition Leader the Hon Bill Shorten then established this Referendum Council in December 2015.

We should take the Coalition’s appearance of opposition to the “model” being proposed for the “voice” with a big grain of salt.
