Indigenous Resistance

When are indigenous people going to arm themselves and learn to use explosives, in order to defend their land?

So-called non-violent resistance only allows for the violence of civilised whites to be legitimate. If indigenous people don’t defend themselves properly, then the white psychopaths will finish the job of extermination they started more than 200 years ago.

When the white maggots first slithered onto what they would eventually label as Australia, the Eora people defended themselves. They didn’t negotiate for very long with whites, because they learnt very quickly how insatiable the whites hunger for land was. There was no way to speak with whites because all they understood was violence. When I use white, of course I mean civilised. Only because of weight of numbers, and because the whites are so persistently destructive, psychotically obsessed with wiping out all resistance to civilisation, that they won that first battle against the Eora people.

White industrial civilisation will not stop killing indigenous people, and killing non-human living beings until it has destroyed every last one, or until it is stopped. So far, because civilised people are so crazy, have been sent so mad by the system, that they cannot respond to reason. Any conscious rational change in civilised society cannot happen. I know, because I have tried to reason with people who support civilisation. Their madness is entrenched. So industrial civilisation will have to be removed by force so that indigenous people can be left alone to live the way they want to. Believe me there is no middle way, no compromise. Civilisation doesn’t allow it. It allows no other gods before it. Only the god of civilisation, production, is allowed to be worshipped.

If indigenous people don’t fight back in way that is effective, then they will end up like most of the Jews who didn’t fight back against the Nazis. The Jews who joined the resistance to the Nazis had a far greater rate of survival, than the Jews who passively allowed themselves to be taken to the gas chamber. There is an example of how non-violent resistance doesn’t work. If you can call allowing your own genocide resistance at all.

The civilised are stepping up their war against the living planet, and indigenous people, and it is time for indigenous people and everyone who cares about the planet to fight back. If we surrender then we are no better than them.

Islam and Britain

If the Islamic people want to really hurt a western civilised state like Britain, why haven't they taken out the electricity grid, and/or sabotaged oil and gas pipelines?

Why do they only try to terrorise civilians?

Why do they only try to do symbolic acts rather than do real damage?

Do they really, deep down, love civilisation so much themselves that they can't really shut it down? Do they only want to replace the style of civilisation?

Are they really just civilised psychopaths like the western governments they claim to hate?

Trees

Have you ever spoken to a non-human before? Have you ever admitted doing it anyway? By non-human I mean a stone, tree, bird, or animal. An animal that is wild, not the dogs, or cats that you care for, a real wild animal, a real wild living being. A living being who isn’t domesticated, or dependent on the civilised.

I am not ashamed to admit that I have. The most important conversation I had with a non-human was with a tree. I had had some talks with a wild Crested Pigeon who used to come into my yard because I gave him (him I think, I didn’t ask him/her if he/she was a male or female) seeds. The talks didn’t really amount to much more than hello and goodbye, and from him/her, please give me something to eat.

The really important conversation was with a very old River Red Gum tree. Not to say that I didn’t enjoy my little chat with the pigeon. He/She was lovely. I love the company of birds. The River Red Gum stands in a Kaurna owned park called Warriparinga in a southern suburb of Adelaide. The Kaurna people had to struggle very hard to get the land back from the white civilised psychopaths. Land that they always owned. This tree is old enough to have a scar on its side that was made from a Kaurna warrior cutting out a bark shield. Somehow the tree survived being on a white farm, and then on a white civilised corporate/government brainwashing institution/prison for children, called a school.

I have cared about the destruction of living beings, and the living landbase for years now. For quite some time I have also been aware of how insane most civilised people are. They have been driven crazy by the system. It took quite a while to discover that. I realised that civilised people who are sane are quite rare in Adelaide. At times I thought that I had found one or two, but they turned out to be crazy as well. The few truly sane people I have found are at the other end of books, and living in other countries. Like Derrick Jensen, or John Zerzan.

So, I felt that civilisation was destroying the living landbase, and most of the civilised people I knew were too insane to either want to do something about it, or too insane to care. I also didn’t know what to do to save the landbase myself. Derrick Jensen’s advice was to ask a tree or wild river what to do. So I did.

It took me some time to gather the courage to actually do it, because it’s insane to talk to trees, or rivers isn’t it? It is schizophrenic isn’t it? Or, is it? George W Bush claimed to have spoken to god, and god told him to kill innocent civilians in Iraq, so if he can do that, then talking to trees must be a bit normal, right?. If George W Bush can talk to a pure abstraction, something that I don’t believe exists, then me talking to a tree, a real living being, must not be so crazy. The tree is a survivor of the holocaust by civilization against all living beings. A holocaust that will not end until all life is exterminated on earth, unless it is stopped. So is talking to a beautiful River Red Gum tree so crazy? I don’t think so anyway.

On the Internet I read about the remains of a River Red Gum in the Adelaide Botanical Gardens. Before the white invasion of the Adelaide Plains, there had been a River Red Gum forest around the what is now called the River Torrens which runs though the center of the CBD of Adelaide, well sort of the center. That dead tree was all that was left of that original forest. I visited that dead tree but didn’t talk to it because I didn’t think that a dead tree could, or would talk to me. Maybe I was wrong, I just might go and find out. I felt very inspired by being near that dead tree trunk though. I could imagine the Kaurna people sitting around it, or camping under its branches. What is left of that tree is hollow, and it has burn marks on the inside. Maybe some Kaurna people used that tree to camp in at some time. After that visit, I somehow found out about a tree that had a scar in the shape of a warrior shield on its side. The tree was still living, and I thought that it must be very old.

Then there was the weeks of procrastinating about going and talking to the tree, I finally got up the courage to go and see it, and talk to it. I wanted to know from the tree what I should do to help bring down industrial civilisation. When I asked that question, the tree gave absolutely no indication that I shouldn’t do something to bring down industrial civilisation. Maybe I hoped that it would, but it didn’t. Almost as soon as I started asking the tree questions, after I had said hello, and sat quietly next to it for a few minutes out of respect, the tree started talking back and answering my questions. I asked the questions inside my head, and the tree answered inside my head as well. I know that sounds crazy, but the tree has no way of making sounds on its own. Trees have no mouths. So it’s about being in a deep meditative state, being together with the tree, and letting two minds come together. That is what deep rapport is. Like two people who are deeply in love, not having to say anything to each other, but know what the other is thinking. It’s sort of the same thing. Any sense of embarrassment will get in the way of being in a deep relationship with the tree, and therefore block any communication. Which, come to think of it, is one of the reasons civilised people are so easy to convince that all non-humans are dead.

The tree gave me the answer. All you have to do is ask the landbase what you have to do to destroy the psychotic system that is killing the planet, and it will tell you.

Palm Island

The equital of the Palm Island police murderer, Senior Sergeant Chris Hurley, is yet another example of the true nature of industrial civilisation. How did Mulrunji die in custody if it wasn’t from the blows to his liver and portal vein from Chris Hurley?

Some information about the incident are at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palm_Island_Queensland

Justice flow down and not up the hierarchy in this system. It’s OK for the rich and powerful, and their hired thugs in the police force and army, to use violence against poor people, but it is not OK when indigenous people fight back. The only people, who have done any time in prison, are the people who burnt down the police station where Mulrunji was murdered.

Water restrictions

South Australia has not had much rain so far this winter. The dams are at about 61% capacity.

The South Australian Government of occupation has now decreed that it is going to restrict the amount of water that households can use even more. House holds use only 9% of the total amount of water, and yet we are the ones who get to pay the price for the draught. Why is that?

That means agriculture and corporations are using 91% and will get out of restrictions through preferential treatment with exemptions. More welfare for the rich paid for by the poor.

Industrial civilisation is based on this. Every other living being has to pay the price for psychotic millionaires to make more and more money, and have more and more power.

When are you going to do something about that? What are you going to do? How can you just sit around while this system kills all life on earth?

"Live Earth"

The so-called “Live Earth” concerts must be one of the biggest scams on earth.

The hippies in the 60s believed that real change could be achieved through music festivals. They failed to stop the Vietnamese War. The Vietnamese people themselves did that through direct action against western violence. The hippies mistakenly believed that they actually lived in a democracy rather than a corporate dictatorship. They believed that politicians really worked for poor people and working people and not millionaires. The hippies thought that parliament was there to represent them, and not there to repress dissent and protect the interests of the rich.

Even if this latest music festival had at least some sort of genuine beliefs behind it, rather than just using ecocide as an excuse to make money, it would still have no real effect on the killing of non-western, non-civilised living beings by industrial civilsation.

Apparently there are going to be seven concerts from seven continents. Globalisation is what is destroying the living earth, it is impossible for any globalised media event to stop a global problem. Humans are meant to live locally. Before white maggots came to Australia to destroy non-civilised humans, and non-human life, people lived locally, and knew every plant and animal in their surroundings. They knew how to track animals to eat, and what plants to use for medicine, and food. How many civilised people can do that now? Indigenous people also knew when enough was enough. They lived in a reciprocal relationship with other living beings. They lived by giving more back to the earth than they took. Mass anonymous societies don’t do that. They only take. That is why civilised society is pathological. It can only destroy life. When industrial civilisation is brought down, how many of you will be able to survive off of the land? How much will a globalised concert help you then?

The whole “Live Earth” event is a way for corporations to appropriate concern about civilisation destroying the earth, without them losing control, and also it is a way for them to make money out of dissent. Do you really expect that sort of event to lead to any real change?

The only real change will come from a genuine insurgency.

Cuttlefish

The South Australian Government are very interested in building a desalination plant for their corporate masters near Whyalla, which is in the upper Spencer Gulf of South Australia. That place just happens to be a very important breeding site for cuttlefish. The largest breeding zone for cuttlefish in South Australia. If the desalination plant goes ahead, it will increase the level of salt in the sea around the plant, and that will be toxic for the cuttlefish. An increase in salt will damage eggs, and effect the breeding conditions for the cuttlefish.

The major reason for the desalination plant is to provide water for a uranium mine owned by BHP Billiton.

As usual the mainstream environmentalists will try and stop it through petitions, protests, and letters to the editor/politicians, because they still believe that stone can be turned into gold through alchemy. As far as I am concerned those types of protest are alright as far as they go, but if they want the desalination plant stopped then they will have to resort to some direct action. Why do mainstream environmentalists keep doing the same failed thing over and over again? Do they really want real change to take place? Are they frightened of real change?

If corporations and their governments want to destroy the habitat of living beings, in favour of digging up poison from under the ground, then they will have to be shown that their are consequences for their behaviour. Protests, petitions, and letters cannot do that.

Wilderness Society

I received a copy of the “Wilderness News” recently. It is the propaganda magazine of the Wilderness Society of Australia. I received it because I sent a letter to “save” the Tasmanian forests from the Tasmanian Government, and a corporation that they work for and are paid by, Gunns. More specifically the letter was an attempt at stopping a pulp mill. The letter was sent to the European branch of the Resource Planning and Development Commission (RPDC), which has a branch in Australia, but the Tasmanian Government and Gunns bypassed it. They decided to make up their own rules, of course.

I believe that writing a letter was probably the most ineffective way to create real change that I could have done.

With the magazine I also received a letter begging for money. They are trying to stop the pulp mill going ahead through legal means. If they succeed, the government will probably just change the law, again. The already did it once, do the Wilderness Society really believe they wont do it again? In the begging letter I received there was even a statement of surprise that the government changed legislation so that Gunns could bypass the RPDC procedure. Why was that? I find it hard to believe that any mainstream environmentalist would still be surprised that government and corporations get together to rig the system in their favour, and at the expense of human and non-human living beings, like forests, and the animals who depend on forests. How stupid are they? They must know that we live in a real corporate/government fascist state.

The magazine says a lot about the level of awareness of the Wilderness Society though. At least the people who produce the magazine. The environment is talked of as a piece of art that has to be preserved for the benefit of humans who want to observe the beauty. Either that, or as a natural resource that has to be managed. Anything but as a living being that deserves to be respected for that, and deserves to have a sane culture be in a sustainable relationship with it. The mainstream environmentalists see nature, the living earth, as just a resource for the benefit of humans, just like the people who want to destroy the living earth for dead money. Just like the people who want to turn living wild forests into dead lengths of two by fours.

In fact, as I have probably written on this blog before, the Wilderness Society, and other mainstream environmental organisations actually make money out of the destruction of the planet. They encourage passivity. They want people to just send them money, and then apparently they will get on with stopping the destruction. The more destruction, the more money they get. It doesn’t seem to be in their interest to really stop anything. The Wilderness Society are not asking people to get actively involved. They don’t want huge numbers of people to go into the forests and burn the logging machines, or cut off power to the sawmills. They don’t want activity. They are quite happy to try to stop pulp mills, or logging in the courts. The same courts where the law is written by people who are owned by logging corporations. It doesn’t seem to me that the Wilderness Society really want to succeed.

The magazine also seems to portray the idea that humans can have everything we have now, and have wild places such as forests. We can apparently live in unsustainable ways, like living in cities, and having cars, and living in houses which are hooked up to electricity, and have anything living that is not human. Not civilised human of course.

Civilisation is pathological. It is run by psychopaths, who will not stop until they have destroyed the whole planet. There is no middle way. If you want living wild places to remain then the system that is destroying all life on earth has to go.

Young indigenous people.

There is a big deal being made by the corporate/government media in Adelaide, mainly the visual media, about a group of young indigenous people who have absolutely no regard for white civilized law. A lesson for all of us. They have gone into business for themselves in competition with the white corporate thieves who occupy stolen Kaurna land. The young indigenous people have learnt a lot about stealing, mainly from white people. Unfortunately it seems that they keep all of the wealth made from the stealing to themselves. Well, that is according to the lying corporate/government media. It could be true. If it is, it is a shame that they only “steal” for themselves. They could use that money to finance some real damage to the civilized state. They could finance getting rid of it. The same civilized state that stole from these young people’s ancestors, and continue to occupy through military force, that stolen land.

More Greenwash

The greenwash that it going on at the moment, that is coming mainly from business/government (who can tell the difference), is going to be used as yet another excuse to punish poor people in the third world, and in the west. The poor will be made to pay for the crimes against the planet by the rich. The rich and their government, especially in Australia at the moment, and especially because there is a Federal election coming up, are pretending to care for the environment. All they are really doing is using “green” to sell more consumer products. Green houses, green cars, etc. It is really the whole system of industrial production that is destroying the planet. You cannot buy your way out of that problem, because buying and selling is what is causing the destruction.

The system has just appropriated the real concern by people so that no real change will happen.

NT Traditional Owners Speaking Tour

In mid June, indigenous traditional owners and community members from areas in the NT proposed for the Federal radioactive waste dump will undertake a two week speaking tour of south eastern cities. The tour, timed to coincide with the announcement of the Government's preferred dump site, will enable the speakers to share their stories and experiences of being targeted for the dump, discuss associated social justice and environment issues and explore ways people can engage with and support the community campaign.  With the recent nomination of Muckaty station, amid much controversy and community opposition, this tour has taken on a further sense of urgency.

 

On behalf of the coordinators for the tour, I invite you to attend the Adelaide public meeting, to be held on the evening of Wednesday 13 June, in the Hans Heysen Building of UniSA's City West Campus. Lecture Theatre HH4-08, Level 4 Hans Heysen Building, Uni SA City West.


As remote and indigenous communities are often marginalised from decision making processes and access to economic and political resources, this tour has been identified by participants as a key opportunity to express concerns regarding contamination of the country that sustains their communities, livelihoods and traditional culture.  The tour also dispels the myth used to justify nuclear activities in Australia: that remote areas are uninhabited and lifeless places. Julie Bishop, Federal Science Minister, suggested that all of the proposed waste dump sites are 'far from any form of civilisation' when in fact, there are communities living and running successful enterprises three, five and eighteen kilometres away from the three of the areas currently being assessed.
If you have any further queries or would like to register, feel free to contact me at this email or on 0403 886 951.

Yours sincerely,

Greenwash

There is plenty of greenwash on the television lately. So-called “green” offices etc. Like recycling it is about creating the illusion that the destruction of the planet by production and consumption can be made sustainable. It is a load of rubbish of course. Real rubbish. Mounds of it in land fills.

Hybrid cars are more greenwash. Consumer products like them are touted as a saviour of industrial civilisation. They are spun as good for the planet because they use much less petrol. Destruction of the living planet comes in many guises though. These cars are made of steel, aluminium, plastic, and rubber. All of those things come from digging up the living earth, living mountains, and huge amounts of electricity. There it is again, that word electricity. Industrial civilisations Achilles heal.

Destruction of the planet still happens because of the production of hybrid cars. They are sold to suckers, people who want to have a planet to live on, and lots and lots of consumer products at the same time. Unfortunately that is impossible, but some people want to believe it. According to fairytales, if you believe something enough it will come true.

The only way for the planet to survive, is for humans to decrease our population, and live the way we are meant to live. As gatherers, and hunters. We need to de-evolve into that sane way of life; otherwise every living creature on the planet will have to pay the price for our addiction to commodities.

Refugees

The one good thing about the imprisonment and torture of refugees in Australia is that they get a first hand experience of what Australia is really about. They might want to come to Australia because of the rumours or the public relations spin that is put out by the Australian tourist industry, or the Australian Government, but they find it to not be true.

They end up with no delusions about Australian democracy, freedom, or liberty. Those concepts don’t exist here. They get the real racist, fascist state that Australia is, just like indigenous people do.

Most Australians have no idea of that real society that they live in, because they don’t oppose it, or because they are not refugees, or indigenous. They are like the people who lived in Nazi Germany who weren’t Jews, Romany, Gay, Anarchist, Communist, Intellectually disabled, Mentally Ill, or Jehovah’s Witnesses. The white Arian Germans had no problems if they supported Nazism.

In the Australian fascist state, if you support the genocide of indigenous people, or support the destruction of the environment, and you are a docile, obedient slave, then you will have no problems with the system. You will not be bashed by police, or prison guards.

Some of us don’t support fascism and want to see its end soon. I want to see the end of this systems power, literally.

Nuclear Power Stations

Both the Labor Party, and the Liberal Party here in Australia now want to have nuclear power stations. That is, they want to poison Australia with nuclear waste, so that the uranium industry, and any future nuclear power industry can have millions of dollars. It doesn't seem to concern them that both non-human, and human living beings would be poisoned for their profit.

Only an insane culture, could produce people like millionaires, and their government. They are who is voted into power, and who is allowed to be rich through the cooperation of workers and the poor. Only an insane culture, a culture of death, would want to dig a poison out of the ground, in order to make that substance even more poisonous. Even use that substance in bombs in order to obliterate other cities.

So what are you going to do about it? It is a certainty that one or the other of the two factions of the Laberal Party will win the next election. So it seems that nuclear power stations are a certainty as well, because I am not very confident about the level of awareness of the people who go into the voting booths on election day. They seem to only be concerned with their own wallets. If it isn't something that will kill them immediately, and is right in front of them, then they are not interested.

What are you going to do about it?

Especially considering the almost certainty of nuclear power stations becoming a reality. If voting wont stop them, then how are they to be stopped?

Is it time to stop just relying on the same failed ways of resistance? Voting, petitions, letters to the editor, letters to politicians. They are all probably the most ineffective ways of trying to change anything.

What can you think of that would be more effective? What way would bring the whole psychotic system to a halt, so that life can flourish on this lovely planet again, rather than the approaching death that this system is heading us towards unless it is stopped.

forest destruction

Destruction of Australia's ancient forests in Tasmania is occurring on an industrial scale at an unrelenting rate, and is sanctioned by the Tasmanian Government and certified internationally by PEFC as sustainable!

Tasmania's unsustainable forestry practices include:

  • poisoning wildlife - tens of thousands of animals die from 1080 poison yearly
  • mass conversion of forest to short rotation plantations
  • fire bombing forest with napalm incendiaries, producing more than 30% of Tasmania's annual greenhouse gas emissions

This is all true, and I fail to understand why is seems to be a surprise to the Wilderness Society. But what do they do about it? What do they think is action against it? They start a letter campaign.

Are the Wilderness Society serious about stopping the destruction of wild forests, or are they really only interested in making money from the destruction? The more destruction, the more they can use that to get people to give them money to stop it.

I wonder if there are people on the ground in the forests that are being destroyed, sabotaging the machines that are used for the destruction? That seems to be a far more direct, and effective way of stopping the killing of living trees. Make it cost them more to keep cutting trees, than they get from selling the corpses of trees. That at least would be a real fight for the forest.

Climate Change

According to the United Nations, the countries that signed the Kyoto agreement on greenhouse gases, will experience very small effects on the profit making of their corporations. If that is true then what is the point of even signing the agreement? If that is true then what is stopping the Australian, and US Goverments from signing it?

For the destruction of the planet to cease, industrial production has to cease, especially agriculture. That will of course mean the loss of profit. It will mean the complete loss of corporations, and the complete loss of millionaires. For the destruction of the living planet to cease, there will have to be far less people. Before Australia was invaded by pathological white mass murderers, there was between 500,000, and 1,000,000 sane, indigenous people here. About 1 million is probably the best number. That allows for whites who survive the collapse of civilisation, whether deliberate or naturally, to live in parts of Australia that the orginal owners give to us.

The real destruction of industrial civilisation, which will mean the real decrease in greenhouse gases, will lead to real clean air to breath, and real clean water to drink.

Civilised Green Living?

No house will ever be green. Nothing about the civilised lifestyle is green. In fact it is just the opposite. Civilisation is killing the living earth. Green can't be bought. Buying and producing are what's destroying the earth in the first place.

Posted on May 2, 2007 at 10:30 AM

Virus

Civilised humans behave like a virus, like a pathogen. If we refuse to behave in a way that is not pathological, then the living earth will get rid of civilisation with anti-bodies. Anti-bodies whether human, non-human, or atmospheric.
