Why Pauline Hanson is not an Indigenous Australian:

In international law, ‘Indigenous’ acknowledges that a person’s ancestors lived on particular lands, before new people arrived and became dominant. Indigenous Peoples have their own unique customs and cultures, and often face… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Who are the Indigenous Peoples of Australia?

We are the proud keepers of arguably the oldest continuous culture on the planet. Their heritage spans many different communities, each with its own unique mixture of cultures, customs and languages. Before the European invasion in… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Just what is socialism? It’s a buzzword on Sky After Dark; having sprung up dozens of times on Paul Murray, Peta Credlin and Andrew Bolt, not to mention assorted far right religious conservative associates of the LNP. Conservative leaders depict socialism as a democracy-killing… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Paul Murray wants Australians to believe there’s virtually little difference between the Nazis, the Soviet communists, the dictatorship of a crumbling Venezuela and the political organization known as the Australian Labor Party.

The problem with ‘systemic,’ ‘structural’ and ‘institutional’ racism

Notice how those terms don’t really work? They challenge our mental processing, in part because systems can’t be bigots and institutions can’t be prejudiced. How about revising our terms for “systemic racism,” “structural racism” and “institutional racism”?

The problem with these phrases is that systems, structures and institutions cannot be racist any more than they can be happy or sad.

Canberra is Australia’s Alabama:

Zachary Rolfe the scion of a prominent Canberra family, is the cop who shot and killed Kumanjayi Walker. He was involved in an earlier arrest of another Indigenous youth that was allegedly violent and humiliating. He’s faced no accountability! Angel Marina was a minor but prominent @RaidersCanberra in the early 1980s. He is the author of the attached anti-Indigenous racist rant. Similar to Rolfe who has yet to face genuine accountability, Mr Marina, despite destroying an Indigenous family, is yet to face accountability

Over the weeks I intend to discuss the racism I’ve personally experienced in Australia and the corruption I’ve witnessed from @AusFedPolice @actgovernment and ACT “just-us” system Good morning everyone it’s #ReconciliationWeek again, and I’m posting the second instalment of my video diary. As I’ve often mentioned before on Twitter I’m a member of the stolen generation(s) and a whistleblower into corruption in the Government Solicitor’s office and Treasury.

The Trinity: Les Morts, Les Mystères, et Les Marassa

Myth is the twilight speech of an old man to a boy. All old men begin at the beginning. Their recitals always speak first of the origin of life. They start by inventing this event which no man witnessed, it remains a mystery They initiate the history of their race with a fiction. For, whether it was first in the sense of time, life is, for all men, first of miracles in the sense of prime. This is a fact. Myths is the facts of the mind made manifest in a fiction matter.

This is how whitefella Australia was “made”

Lawn Hill is serene today, but back in the 1880s it was the site of atrocities against the Waanyi, the molesting of their children, the raping of their women, the shooting of their men, and the taking of their body parts as trophies. Lawn Hill station, lies smack bang in Waanyi country, the tribal territory of an indigenous gulf people who occupied around 25,000 square kilometres of land between northwestern Queensland and the eastern Northern Territory.
