It is infuriating
that so many commentators equate "the formula for
marriage being
male/female", as a religious position. I acknowledge no
deities, multiple or
mono; but I do acknowledge that human marriage has
been around for half-a
million years; and other mammal marriages for
millions of years. Also, that
the entire function of marriage has, over
that period, been the production,
nurturing and protection of children.
Civil rights are cultural and
peripheral. I also have listened to
Aboriginal seniors angrily condemning
people who try to impose
homosexuality on their culture, they being adamant
that Aborigines had
no such relationship experience. On Bathurst Island
(Tiwi) I was
recently told that gay activists had visited the island and
told locals
that they must arbitrarily accept homosexuality as a natural
human
condition, and therefore, must accept gay marriage. I label that
behavior as homosexual colonialism.
Today, there are homosexual
Aboriginal children but these are
essentially the product of European
child-raising methods; and
invariably the product of unsuccessful mixed
marriages. Culture, in
terms of family behavior, is now around 90% broken
down on all
Aboriginal communities. This outcome is to be expected, as I and
others
have always maintained that it is European child-raising practices
that
are responsible for the emergence of homosexual behavior. For the same
reasons, I anticipate a diminution of phenomenal Aboriginal memories. I
doubt that this is good either.
I have the advantage of 47 years of
perspective when it comes to the
reality of Aboriginal culture in Arnhem
Land (which is a sight more
Aboriginal than Redfern in metro-Sydney), so I
really have no interest
in the observations of academics and activists who
do not even speak
Aboriginal languages and who know nothing about Aboriginal
culture.
And, I might add, I was in the vanguard of homosexual rights in
the
1960s, when most of my co-workers were 'camp' and my flatmate was a drag
queen... the famous 'Egypt'. Although I am heterosexual, to describe me
as homophobic (fear of homos? You have to be kidding) Many of my
street-fights of that era were protecting camps from poofter-bashers. My
motivation was simple; I opposed bullying, of any kind, or of any kind
of victim. I still despise bullying, the worst of which today appears to
be perpetrated by gays victimising and repressing straights; by AGW
believers repressing and condemning 'deniers'; and by urban Aboriginal
activists blaming non-Aborigines for their own criminality, laziness,
and irresponsibility in failing to adequately parent their
children.
Finally, let me congratulate veteran journalist Eric Walberg
for noting
that real world gays are not necessarily supporters of gay
marriage, or
adoption. Can I add to this that reliable independent surveys
identify
only 1% of the population as gay; so why, in a supposed democracy,
can
1% dictate to to the majority? Why do gay rights movement financiers
tend to be people like the sinister George Soros? Why are gays so
opposed to a plebiscite? And why is the loudest opposer of a plebiscite,
Penny Wong. Can it be that Wong, like me, has actually surveyed a full
demographic and discovered that more than 50% oppose gay
marriage.

Hi Peter
I
will address your last question first... which will contextualise and
clarify your own observations.
> It seems that Christian
Aboriginal
> communities are not affected.
> Why so?
The
missionaries were commissioned by the Commonwealth Government to
prevent the
violent extinction of Aborigines in the Top End, a
gun-totin'
pastoral-generated genocide which lasted fifty years (until
1936).
By
default, because this and other intrusions were happening in remote
regions,
acculturation occurred at a much slower pace, relative to
places closer to
highways, cattle stations, and settlements.
The missionaries tried to
bury culture but this was resisted, which
forced deals to be made. For
example, Catholic missionaries traded
polygamy for in-ground burials and
baptism, and the right to build
churches. Methodists, almost entirely
through the atypical flexibility
of one man, Bapa Sheppy (aka Rev
Shepherdson), went for baptism and
churches and left polygamy and ceremonies
alone. Anglicans made no trade
at all and repressed languages and culture
with gusto. The Lutherans
were by far the most humane and compassionate
regarding women and children.
From 1936 to 1973, little changed. The
Aborigines I knew then, and were
adopted by (at Galiwin'ku), were
acculturally divided into three groups:
the Christian converts, the
ceremonial traditionalists, and the
two-bob-each-way diplomats. On pastoral
properties, Aborigines dressed
like Europeans but surreptitiously practiced
their culture and ceremonies.
However, the 1973 ALP Commonwealth
Government rushed in to help the
Aboriginal people, and the
Self-Determination policy caused an
intensification of Songline influence
and direction, which precipitated
the Homeland Movement. What this means is
that each language group
(Mala) operates under the spiritual umbrella of its
own section of
songlines, which criss-cross the mainland of Australia. This
food cycle
traversed-'section' is the geographical expression of their own
Songline, which is also their history, their source of clan identity,
individual identity, and even almanac for all activities... ceremonial
right through to prosaic hunting activities and seasonal recognition.
(See attachment on Homelands).
If I may put it bluntly and
uncompromisingly, Songlines and Homelands
are the key to Aboriginal
development and survival. Multi-clan
communities simply do not have the
capacity to move forward. Another
thing I would like to put forward with
equal absence of compromise... it
is not possible to understand Aboriginal
culture without first learning
the language. The language is the sole window
to the culture. This was
pointed out in 1926 by the anthropologist Elkin,
but was advice ignored
by anthropologists and government, ever since. This
is the primary
reason why every development programme has failed, and is the
central
reason for Aboriginal ill-health and mortality. Ergo... information
about pathogens and disease, and nutrition and processed food toxicity,
must be in repeated verbal clan-language presentation to be accessible
to 98% of Aborigines in the NT. For 229 years, NT Aborigines have had to
negotiate their survival in a foreign language.. English; which few
understand and even fewer can speak. This is absolute disenfranchisement
and imposition of a communication barrier. What little communication
does occur, is one way.
This sad (and globally condemned) situation
led to the manipulation of
the original Land Rights Act of 1976, creating a
land council based on
leadership instead of the implementation of indigenous
consensus
protocols. More succinctly, this was the replacement of pure
democracy
consensus, with inevitably corruptive hierarchism. This is what
Acton
was referring to when he pointed out that power corrupts and absolute
power corrupts absolutely. Historically, what happened is that New York
globalists (David Rockefeller and his Trilateral Commission) realised
that Aboriginal consensus decision-making would prevent mining. It was
critical, they concluded, that consensus be replaced with appointed or
elected Aboriginal leaders. The globalists, led by the Rothschild-owned
Bank for International Settlements (BIS, Basle, Switzerland), who
actually employ Reserve Bank of Australia executives (ie not the
Australian Government, as most people presume), ordered the Governor of
RBA, Nugget Combs, to intervene. Thus, people who were owned by the
land, suddenly discovered they had individual Traditional Land-Owners...
(TOs), and that the chairman of their Northern Land Council, instead of
precipitating clan consensus on issues, became their Leader. Thus, a man
with no ceremonial status or knowledge of Songlines, but a commitment to
expand his car hire company, Gerry Blitner, became the first NLC
Chairman. This was closely followed by Gallarrwuy Yunupingu. Yunupingu,
whose articulation profoundly shocked and terrified senior bureaucrats
and politicians, was initially committed to Yolngu cultural
resurrection, but quickly succumbed to the temptations of accumulation
of power. As planned.
To European Australians, it is the body paint,
weapons and dances which
represent Aboriginal culture. Consequently, the
Garma Festival appears
to be indicative of regionally-retained culture.
Ironically, the Garma
Festival was largely the outcome of western influence,
the names
Yunipingu and NLC being central as drivers of this production.
Garma is
what we might call, PR. Concomitant with Garma, are calls for
tokenistic
and ephemeral objectives such as Reconciliation, Treaty, Close
the Gap,
and Recognise; all entirely without survival substance. These
campaigns
are supported by highly paid Aboriginal media celebrities, not one
of
whom speaks an Aboriginal language or possesses Aboriginal culture.
Unsurprisingly, funding flows from Riotinto and BHP coffers and the LNP
Federal Government.
Meanwhile, the Christians launched the Mala
Leaders Council back in
1976, an oxymoron if ever there was one. Those who
manipulate behind the
scenes have welded the Mala Leaders concept to the
Land Council
representatives and Chairmen, ALPA executives, local
government, and a
plethora of Christian-led fellowships and lobbies; all to
reinforce the
leadership concept. The NT Government has just constructed a
$20 million
boarding school in Nhulunbuy to promote Aboriginal leadership.
The
success of the Leadership Movement is an accurate gauge of Aboriginal
cultural breakdown. Another is the breakdown of family.
Wheras fifty
years ago, parents bestowed consummate love and affection
on babies and
children, practicing absolute indulgence, it was not until
Dhapi Age
(circumcision ceremony) that an uncle would traditionally
commence
discipline, and instilling all-important self-discipline
(raypirri).
Grandparents nurtured a series of other supportive
relationships.
Today, because of the intervention of school teachers,
police, courts,
welfare, the Intervention, and revamped genocide, most of
this
development network has evaporated. Children today receive virtually no
parenting in replacement of the lost roles. This is by far the most
significant manifestation of acculturation and breakdown of indigenous
culture. It is pretty much invisible to westerners.
Over a period of
47 years, I have supported the cultural retention and
restoration movement,
especially in terms of Homelands, but it is only
now that circumstances have
colluded to enable an effective fight-back.
This is taking the form of a
resurrected Wangurri homeland community on
Arnhem Bay, which will feature:
traditional consensus decision-making,
homes that promote pathogen
resistance, traditional hunting and
gathering, and permaculture food
gardens. Business enterprise
initiatives are also envisaged. The house
design, which accommodates
Aboriginal culture, will cost around $20,000;
compared to the $600,000
to $900,000 unhealthy versions currently imposed on
Aboriginal
communities. Although the NT Chief Minister and PM, Malcolm
Turnbull,
were asked to support this strategy, neither even acknowledged our
correspondence. Finally, the NT Departments of Health and Housing have
expressed interest and have requested house design and cost details. We
are finally hopeful the genocide can be turned around.
In this brief
narrative, I have grossly simplified what is a vastly more
complex
situation. So, Peter, I have added a couple of attachments which
might
breach the inevitable comprehension gulf.
BTW, congratulations on your
penetration of the knowledge-contributing
component of the online media. You
are the only Australian to have
achieved this.
Kindest

HOMELANDS
1. What are Aboriginal Homelands and why are these
important to Yolngu?
2. How are homelands of relevance to the non-Yolngu
population of Nhulunbuy?
The answers to the above questions are
significant for Nhulunbuy’s future.
*
When we use the term
Homeland, we refer to a region that is the historic
and prehistoric genesis
of a given Aboriginal language group, and the
word homeland may also refer
to an urban community located on the wider
homeland region. This is as
opposed to the larger ex-missionary
communities such as Yirrkala,
Milingimbi, and Galiwin’ku, which are
peopled by multiple language groups,
even though these towns are also
simultaneously the homeland of a single
language group (clan).
As one can readily imagine, residing on another
clan’s ‘country’ is a
source of anxiety, friction, confusion, and
embarrassment. And for the
host clan, there is ongoing simmering resentment
of what they see as
interlopers.
These larger communities are an
accident of history, peopled by refugees
from the genocides perpetrated by
international pastoral corporations
and by a few murderous individuals, a
fifty-year internecine war which
only finally ended in 1936. During the
massacres some entire language
groups were wiped out and surviving Yolngu
eventually realized that to
say no to white people was likely invite lethal
reprisals.
Although the missions were intended as places of refuge from
the
pastoral killing fields, some of the missionaries themselves lacked
normal social restraints, with some even resorting to whips to exert
personal control. Moreover, until 1975, Yolngu were even forbidden to
approach the front doors of missionary homes; a combination of racism
and classism that made for an uneven relationship.
These are the
episodes of history Arnhem Land has inherited, invoking
vivid memories for
some old people; so It can easily be understood why
many Yolngu are still
distrustful of Balanda. The entire multi-clan
community sources of conflict
are another reason why most adults prefer
life on homeland communities. But
the main reason for preference of
homelands, is
spiritual.
Homelands are the geographical expression of clan
Songlines.
And Songlines are a combination of:
o Geographical and
clan history;
o Almanac for management of the land and waters;
o Guide to
seasonal food access and natural phenomena;
o Birth certificate and source of
identity for every clan member;
o The medium for daily clan cohesion and
continuity;
o A spreadsheet which measures the inter-relationship between all
clans;
o The key to spiritual kinship to clans thousands of Ks away;
o
Genealogical documentation;
o Roadmap for funeral management and burial
authority;
o Source of names for new babies;
o Lawbook for social and
spiritual behavior; and
o The essential source of strength to sustain new
ventures.
Songlines deliver much more than is listed here, but these
are the
attributes easily understood by Balanda.
Pretty much anyone
who has closely observed Yolngu developments for more
than a few decades has
concluded that economic independence, optimal
health, and successful social
cohesion, will only be achieved through
successful regeneration of
Homelands.
Having said this, Federal Government politicians insist that
Homelands
are an anachronism and reflect a self-indulgent and retrogressive
reversion to a living museum… paraphrasing the expressed ‘wisdom’ of
former Cabinet Minister, Amanda Vanstone. That Vanstone’s appalling
depth of misinformation should have struck a chord within the entire
Liberal National Coalition is indicative of the prevailing lack of
intelligence and general knowledge of politicians today. (This comment
is in no way politically partisan).
The prevailing attitude reflects
the belief of most politicians, which
is that Aboriginal culture belongs to
the past and is incompatible with
the future. Deep down, this is based on a
belief in white superiority, a
position which makes researching empirical
evidence a non-necessity.
While left-leaning politicians are mandatorily
voluble about their
respect for Aboriginal culture, few could describe this
culture
coherently; which explains why the ALP seamlessly continued The
Intervention with its own equally repressive Stronger Futures.
The
measurable reality is that politicians pretend to respect Aborigines
but
when push comes to shove, denial of even basic rights is supported
across
the board. This was evident last year when a NT Aboriginal
electoral
representative made a parliamentary speech in the language of
her
electorate. Other politicians were outraged, oblivious to the
fundamental
right of the electorate to witness representations in their
own language.
The dissenting politicians were not only endemically
racist, they lacked
even a fundamental grasp of democracy.
Ordinary Australians are actually
much more tolerant and most would like
to understand a little bit about
Aboriginal culture. A little-known
aspect of history, once we are
familiarised, can enable us to accept
that a different value system does not
mean that one cultural group is
necessarily superior to the other, as we
will see from the following
comparison…
Three and half thousand years
ago, Chinese philosophers evolved the
concept of eternally-interactive
qualities of positive and negative, a
view that describes the
electro-magnetic integrity of the entire
universe and everything within it.
They called this Yin and Yang and
quickly realized that all Chinese society
must conform to this pattern
to be truly enlightened, and to become
compatible with the world around
them. In other words, learn to live with
nature, rather than against it.
The Chinese people simply could not let
go of hierarchism and thus
condemned themselves to dynastic overthrows in
perpetuity as the only
means of temporarily escaping the inevitable
repression that imperial
overlords impose.
However, 12,000 years ago,
Yolngu identified the same counterbalancing
forces, and they named these
Yirritja and Dhuwa. They too realized that
in order to live in harmony with
the universe, and themselves, they must
reshape their value systems and
their view of the world. Evidently, they
were very successful and eventually
this moiety concept spread across
all mainland Australia.
Rejecting
hierarchism accordingly, they thenceforth made decisions by
invoking
intricately structured consensus protocols. Thus, the person
whose name
demonstrated that his or her birth spirit was most closely
associated with
the issue under discussion, made that person responsible
for identifying
consensus. Consequently, every man, woman and child was
free to present
their individual views, which were modified or
reinforced by songlines as
interpreted by respected Mala seniors.
The outcome was pure democracy,
which is why Yolngu had no chiefs or
kings; which is also why they also had
no experience of enforced
poverty, repression, torture, imprisonment,
slavery, ritual execution,
geographical hegemony, or
war.
Philosophically-speaking, it is clear that Yolngu were around 9000
years
ahead of the rest of humanity in understanding the fundamental role of
positive and negative in terms of physics and universal integrity; and,
moreover, were probably the only culture which successfully adapted
their entire social organization to this manifest reality (Kung and
Inuit may also have shared this distinction).
So, pretty obviously,
there is plenty of room here for mutual respect.
In terms of
physics-supported philosophy, Aborigines were millennia
ahead of the west.
And they are still way ahead of the rest of the world
when it comes to
coexisting with nature, and in sophistication of social
organisation.
Today, Homelands are the most active expression of
Yolngu aspirations,
and their means of achieving
these.
Unfortunately, Australia’s lacklustre leadership is not up to
recognition of the need to assist Homeland developers create their own
self-sustaining economy, and to create a living environment which
delivers health-giving nutrition and home designs which do not breed
disease and conflict.
Because such homelands once successful will
eventually enable Nhulunbuy
to become the regional servicing hub, thereby
creating local urban
prosperity, it is clear commonsense for us to support
the Homeland cause.
In practical terms, this can be achieved through a
Community Declaration
of Support for Homelands, delivered to Federal and
State/Territory
governments, with copies presented to appropriate UN support
bodies,
which may nudge governments to act in more stately
fashion.
