1) Violence

 

(a) Introduction

Violence, in its most exact, accurate and comprehensive sense is not simply hitting, injuring or killing another human being but is any behaviour or action that directly or indirectly causes physical or emotional pain to any person, that avoidably distresses any living creature or that destructively impacts unnecessarily upon the natural environment.  It includes:-

-     cruelty, bullying, intimidation and physical assault

-     all reckless, irresponsible risk taking, dangerous or attention-seeking behaviour, especially when this results in fully preventable 'accidents’

-     alcoholism and drug abuse (including prescription drugs and tobacco)

-     obesity and all compulsive eating and drinking disorders (1)

-     killing of any human being for any reason whatsoever including abortions at any stage of pregnancy, euthanasia, state executions, waging war, terrorism, self-defence and suicide

-     rape and sexual violation, especially molesting and interfering with children

-     destruction of property including tagging, vandalism, arson and theft

-     persecution, discrimination, intolerance, bigotry, racism and harassment of minorities

-     the deprivation, neglect, mistreatment, abuse and invalidation of children, especially babies – this is common all over the world today.

-     acquisitive greed, self-indulgent excess and decadence, hoarding, the refusal to be generous, sharing and giving and inequity and unfairness in apportioning of resources whether within families, communities, nations or globally. It is violent to have more than your share of resources, to eat and drink more than you generously need and to waste money on pets, sports, gambling, luxury goods, drugs and unnecessary products and services when there are children dying in the world of starvation and thirst,

-     the unrestrained, self-centred ambition for power, ‘success’, fame, the approval of others and the accumulation of possessions

-     corruption, fraud and dishonesty and the misuse and abuse of positional or institutional power by parents, professionals, businessmen/women, the clergy, politicians or public servants

-     abdicating the responsibility to stand up for those unjustly mistreated and failing to intervene, express outrage and openly reprimand and rebuke violent and corrupt behaviour of any kind, whether this occurs in homes, places of education or employment, in the health, legal, law enforcement or court systems, in government and in all other institutional environments. This is violence by default and fathers all over the world are particular culprits.

-     indirect, provocative, manipulative, obstructive, perverse, arbitrary, patronising, deceitful, malicious, libellous, abusive, game-playing and trouble-making behaviour or deliberately making people feel humiliated, awkward, inferior or unsettled (traditionally far more commonly done by females than males)

-     being impatient, rushing, frantic, noisy, inconsiderate, rude and introducing change suddenly

-     all sexual perversion, homosexuality, lesbianism, promiscuity, prostitution, voyeurism, exhibitionism and pornography

-     cruelty to and mistreatment of animals, including killing, keeping and/or caging any wild creature not domesticated for the proper productive, humane use of mankind (zoos!), any and all misuse and abuse of animals as pets or in competitive contests (horse and greyhound racing, equestrian trials and show jumping, rodeos, bull and cock fights, game fishing etc) as well as the sadistic and unnatural exploitation of animals only too commonly encountered every day on most modern farms

-     pollution in its most comprehensive sense - all unwarranted, undeserved, harmful and unpleasant intrusions into or invasions of personal space and onto the senses (noise, smell, sight, taste and toxic substances) whether by people, animals or machines.

 

Violence is not therefore just simple physical assault but is any intended or unintended (by irresponsible abdication or negligence) present (or likely future) distressing impact upon the body or spirit.

 

To be effective any sensible, useful enquiry or investigation into violence would therefore need to analyse in detail all these related issues together, so providing an understanding of the true underlying causes and reasons for violence of all kinds.

 

(b) Root Causes of Violence & Crime

Violence, no matter how it manifests itself, is never just a response to present circumstances only but always involves the indirect expression of past denied feelings that have been repressed, accumulated and contained over long periods.  In extreme cases with all those committing crimes against humanity, torture, atrocities, massacres, genocide, serial killings, murder and rape, the feelings so horrendously discharged relate mainly to experiences many, many years in the past, from early childhood and even from the period between conception and birth.

 

Understandably violence often occurs wherever people are confined inappropriately in unsuitable and rigorous environments that provide insufficient space, privacy, natural beauty, peace and needed resources such as in prisons, slums and overcrowded and under-privileged regions and countries, for example.  Also, a great deal of violence occurs within families because the most intense feelings are catalysed by and arise from continuous, close relationships between people related in spirit (or 'blood') especially when they are intimately sharing the same space, in the same dwelling.

 

All violence, cruelty, brutality, discrimination and lack of compassion of any kind whatsoever, no matter where it occurs in the world, always indicates clearly the legacy of unexpressed lethal rage, terror and pain from childhood deprivation, neglect, mistreatment, abuse and invalidation.  What is done inappropriately, inexcusably and often indiscriminately to innocent people and especially to children is what those perpetrating the violence feel like doing to their own parents (and other relations, health professionals and teachers) but haven't had the courage, opportunity, insight or example to acknowledge and express constructively themselves.  For example, the violence directed by Europeans against colonised or conquered native populations all over the world (American Indians and the Negroes in the south of the USA, black Africans in South Africa, Aborigines in Australia and against Maoris in New Zealand, for example) is clear evidence of the disgracefully poor standard of child care and brutal child abuse by the previous generation of white European parents in all these countries just as the violence against the Jews in the Second World War showed the same about gentile German parenting in the twenty years or so beforehand. It is no coincidence that there was an acute shortage of fathers and lack of fathering in Germany after the losses of the First World War.

 

It is vital to recognise that easily the most common form of domestic violence today is not violence by men against their partners but is the violence by mothers, other female relatives (and female health professionals and teachers) against babies and young children, especially focused against boys. Some of the things that infuriate boys and young men motivating them to grow up to be killers are the incessant noise selfish, inconsiderate and unaware females make (so many American females’ mouths are huge, distended by continuous talking, and so many Mediterranean and Muslim females make an appalling amount of noise), their other invasions of personal space, their incredible laziness and minimal approach to mothering and the ways they threaten, assault, humiliate, emasculate and treat them like children. In essence the fury and torment that motivates suicide bombers, terrorists, young American GI’s, Israeli army personnel and the associated government decision makers is exactly the same: all have much in common, childhoods in which they were deprived, neglected, invalidated, abused and violated by violent, hard, masculine, lazy, competitive, selfish, intrusive, dirty, untidy, controlling, terrified and ‘lost’ mothers and abdicated, useless, ineffectual, emotionally absent fathers. To better understand the root causes of violence within Families, see the file ‘Men Everywhere’ on the web site for a more detailed examination).

 

The often-expressed opinion that if females were in charge of the world there would be no war is such asinine stupidity, misguided madness and such delusional folly. This dangerous, discriminatory, sexist nonsense ignores the reality that females today and especially the previous generation of mothers and grandmothers are directly and indirectly responsible for more than half of the intense rage with which uncared-for children grow up which subsequently manifests itself in various forms of violence and aggression.

 

No-one who has ever been brought up with any real love or care could ever mistreat or behave in this way towards any other human being, no matter what the provocation or the person's colour, race or religious persuasion.  The problems in Ireland, Yugoslavia and between various races in Africa have exactly the same root cause and are largely totally unrelated to differences in religious beliefs or tribal origins, these being just emotionally expedient excuses and irrelevant, superficial symptoms to distract from all that lies underneath the surface.  This behaviour of conveniently focusing unresolved and often unacknowledged emotional agendas from childhood at convenient defenceless external targets is very common indeed today and explains the obsessive energy and fanaticism misdirected into political, social, sporting, religious and environmental causes and issues.

 

In stark contrast to the propaganda peddled by manipulative governments, a real patriot is someone who in action:-

- cares for their own body and spirit and is relaxed, open, honest, unhurried, patient, gentle and healthy.  If you destroy or fail to care for your own body and spirit, you will be a threat to everything around you including the environment.

- cares for their own home and possessions, being clean, tidy and organised

- lives simply with real regard for waste, duplication, inequity, pollution and renewing and replenishing the natural environment.

- is totally non-violent and only ever expresses their feelings verbally, in writing or physically directed at inanimate objects.

- speaks the truth each and every day directly and to stand up for yourself, your family, your country and those in need without violence to anyone, ever.

- values the sanctity of all human life

- respects for the natural environment and a genuine concern for all fellow citizens by absolutely and by demonstrating a mature and adult allegiance to fairness, decency, kindness, truth, justice, sharing, equity. 

- respects international disagreements and disputes fairly and openly in a balanced and unbiased way, looking at the real issues involved, the other side's position and their true underlying motivations and doing what is right and proper as an individual no matter what the consequences.

Otherwise nothing of substance will ever be achieved or resolved.  Inevitably this will mean rejecting and refusing to comply with the decisions and legislation of national leaders and never supporting their misguided, ill-advised, negligent and criminally culpable activities either directly or indirectly.

 

By these sensible criteria there are not very many real patriots or real adults alive in any country. Extreme right wing or left wing fanatics such as Joseph McCarthy are never real patriots or love their country but simply misuse (fake) patriotism as a convenient catch-cry or cloak for their truly deranged emotional agendas and self-interest. Similar are all those in power in nations all over the globe who manipulate their foolish and gullible populations by using the usual meaningless clichés, deceitful euphemisms, simplistic generalities and political propaganda about patriotism, bravery, loyalty, glory and honour.

 

Violence is not therefore an irrational, illogical or unpredictable response which simply occurs randomly by chance nor is it the result of a sick, diseased or criminal personality or mind - the mind is where we think, not feel, and only people totally shut-off to their feelings and unaware of their real essence could ever believe that our thoughts represent who we are.

 

Violence is an understandable and in some cases reasonable and fully justified, learned response to the original violence imposed upon and directed against the person themself.  A good example is the case of Julian Knight who randomly shot people in Hoddle Street, Melbourne, Australia - much of the responsibility for what Knight did is clearly his father's, his mother's and certainly all those directly and indirectly involved in his horrific experiences in the army.  Despite this he was unfairly and inappropriately made to bear the full burden of guilt and has effectively been made an expedient 'scapegoat'.  His subsequent treatment and prison sentence completely lack any compassion or understanding and virtually preclude any hope of his rehabilitation. No-one can feel genuine remorse when they have been victimised all their lives nor is it reasonable to expect them to do so! Martin Bryant is another excellent example, the worst serial killer in Australia’s history, who is now held in the hospital unit of that institution of infamy in Tasmania Risdon Prison, treated like some object of curiosity and laboratory experiment with no hope of rehabilitation, by staff and health and mental health ‘professionals’ guilty of serious violence themselves.

 

To better appreciate the feelings of outrage, pain and fear which are a natural and inevitable response to and legacy of the usual family and educational environment today, why these feelings are repressed and denied and how this impacts upon our subsequent behaviour, beliefs and attitudes see the files ‘Men Everywhere’ & ‘Women Everywhere’ elsewhere on this site www.geocities.com/michael_the_one.

 

For example, in adolescence the rapid physical growth and hormonal changes catalyse an accompanying emotional growth crisis in which repressed feelings from the past involuntarily surface, demanding to be felt and so discharged. These feelings, however are most often expressed in inappropriate, indirect ways and vandalism and arson, alcohol and drug abuse, self-mutilation (piercing & tattooing), irresponsibility, rudeness and inconsideration, playing loud music with explicitly violent and sexual overtones, dangerous and reckless driving, the onset of so-called mental illness and suicidal depression are obvious indicative symptoms of what is going on underneath.

 

As usual, teenagers are blamed and criticised for their behaviour when it merely yet again reflects how the adults around them have behaved and how they really feel at the disgraceful standard of parenting and schooling that they have been obliged to endure. Their behaviour shows clearly how much pain they are in and how furious they are at their parents, other relatives, health professionals and teachers with ample justification. It is interesting to note that Japanese young men have four times the rate of depression as young women - young men especially do not talk about how they feel and are more adversely affected by the absence of adult men and the presence of violent adult females in their lives and schooling.

 

The appalling number of young drivers killed on the roads in countries like Australia, New Zealand, the UK and USA are therefore essentially parents' own responsibility and cannot be off-loaded onto any other convenient factor. Motorists who cause serious ‘accidents’ by driving recklessly, when over-tired or when under the influence of alcohol or drugs, have been effectively conditioned when very young by how they were improperly fed, denied sleep (babies are never put down when tired, just wheeled around in strollers at their selfish mother’s convenience) and generally mistreated as young children. The very same parents and grandparents are at least equally responsible for the horrendous subsequent accidents and deaths.  Organisations like Mothers Against Drunk Drivers (aptly shortened to the acronym MADD) and people protesting outside courts (especially demented females) where offenders are being charged with crimes against children, all reflect the essential pretence, hypocrisy and deceit of those feigning the outrage, an attempt to off-load their own enormous guilt onto any easy, convenient, defenceless and ‘socially acceptable’ target.

 

Criminal ‘justice’ and law enforcement systems throughout the world today are largely administered and controlled by essentially corrupt and immoral individuals. These police, prison and parole officers, judges, magistrates and lawyers, court’s administrators and the miscellany of hangers-on, family case social workers and forensic mental health personnel are fully determined to not take any responsibility for their own behaviour as parents and supposed public servants, especially for the obvious effects on their own children and on those individuals unfortunate enough to fall into their insidious clutches and control. Naturally they collude with one another to prevent their impropriety and illegality from being exposed and are well-practised at producing the usual clichés, lies, half-truths, excuses and platitudes to justify their behaviour. All those literal criminals involved with Knight's case, for example, bear a significant measure of the blame themselves and would be appropriately and fairly punished in a balanced and humane society committed to the precepts of real justice and the truth.

 

The case of David Grey at Aramoana in New Zealand was a typical example of unrestrained police lawlessness where the public is supposed to be satisfied with, even proud of a group of violent, vindictive armed police, trained marksmen well able to shoot someone in the arm, shoulder or leg, safely behind cover who unnecessarily shot and deliberately killed a very disturbed and by that stage unarmed male at least temporarily overwhelmed by intense emotions and clearly not responsible for his actions as he ran out into the open towards them screaming "Shoot me, shoot me!" because of the emerging horror and guilt he felt at what he had so uncontrollably just done!  By no proper judgement can this be seen as acceptable or just - it was simply 'socially acceptable', 'legalised' first-degree murder!

 

To look in more detail at violence in institutional environments like prisons, juvenile institutions, police watch-houses and schools and by those (un)gainfully (un)employed in the courts, law enforcement, the public service, appellate channels and in government itself look at the ‘Corruption’ file. As far as leadership is concerned, it is a form of real violence to aspire to positions of public power for reasons of shallow ambition and desire for dominance without the necessary prerequisite maturity, capability, experience, understanding and strength of spirit necessary to fulfil your legal and moral obligations. This, however, is true of the vast majority of those in parliaments, military regimes and other governments all over the world today.

 

No-one who has been brought up with any love or truth, in particular no-one who has ever received proper fathering, could ever kill anyone for any reason whatsoever. State executions are the spiteful acts of politicians, senior public servants, judges, lawyers, police, prison officers and members of the general public who refuse to behave in a mature, decent, humane, balanced, fair and charitable manner and cope with their own guilt, pain and anger like human beings and not like psychopaths. Nor would those properly cared for as babies and children irresponsibly hazard their lives in the futility of war nor ever accept or be taken in by the concocted lies and transparently dishonest misinformation and propaganda produced by their own government and military about the behaviour and motivations of other national leaders and governments. The claims made about our ‘enemies’ are inevitably true of themselves and reflect their own guilt, short-sighted paranoia and lust for power and territory - an excellent example was the horrific, totally unwarranted interventions of the USA into Vietnam and the rest of Indochina. See the section on War (B) below for a more detailed analysis.

 

To understand the true violence commonly committed by health professionals in both the public and private sectors, especially in psychiatric hospitals, read the file ‘Health & Healing’ on the web site. Finally to examine in more detail the issues of Environmental Violence & Cruelty to Animals in Primary Industries & in the Conservation movement look at the “Conservation’ file elsewhere on the site.

 

(c) ‘Experts’ on Violence

To successfully understand the real root causes of violence of any kind requires a courageous and rigorous personal self-examination first followed by the sensible extrapolation of the resultant self-awareness and real experience gained to explain the general situation in society at large.  This is not some complex and nebulous theoretical academic exercise requiring years of study and research but rather a fairly simple and straightforward (though terrifying and extraordinarily painful) complete re-assessment of one's own childhoods and a direct and honest acceptance of the clear evidence of the real situation so abundantly available all around, most especially from children, which indicates something is seriously wrong in the world today.

 

People today are not prepared to admit how inappropriate to their real needs are the usual, accepted daily routines, occupational patterns and general existences nor to make any substantial change to and improvement in their own quality of life.  This is especially true of all those so-called, self-styled experts - the psychiatrists, psychologists, doctors and other health professionals, teachers, those in all sections of the media, church ministers, judges, lawyers, criminologists, police, prison administrators, welfare and social workers, counsellors in drug and alcohol abuse, domestic violence, relationship services and adolescent delinquency, senior members of the armed forces, public servants and politicians (including all those in diplomatic circles and in the development and implementation of foreign policy), all of whom ought to know better.  These people in particular have a vested interest in finding an ‘easy’ and palatable (though untrue) explanation for disease, crime, violence, immorality and drug abuse, one which will ensure the continuation of their highly overpaid employment, allow them to avoid taking responsibility for their own actions and culpability as parents, as so-called experts and as participants and help them continues to live in rigid denial about the true horror of their own parents, grandparents and other relations. All those who refuse to face the truth about their own childhoods are inevitably destined to impose a worse version on their own unfortunate children!

 

Everything written by these ‘experts’, and it is yet another form of violence to claim to be an expert when you are not and have the explanations and answers when you don’t, completely fails to explain why there is so much violence today. Understandably the solutions they propose and conclusions they arrive at are always inaccurate, artificial and contrived, narrow, superficial, designed to treat symptoms and place the blame on convenient, highly selective external factors without any real investigation of actual underlying causes and only provide a framework within which their lies, half-truths, excuses, fallacious fabrications, deliberate distortions of reality and platitudinous self-justifications can be maintained.  The subsequent recommendations made and policies initiated are consequently a complete waste of time, money and human resources - in fact they are deliberately misleading, designed to disguise the true situation and inevitably result in more violence.

 

Whenever reality conflicts with their prejudices and foolish theories, they conveniently alter reality rather than review and revise their assumptions, beliefs and perspective on life. Examples of their fatuous foolishness and dishonest self-deception include blaming the deteriorating situation on explicit cruelty, brutality and pornography in the media, in videos and in video games, on addiction to alcohol or drugs, on obsessions with firearms and the paraphernalia of war and even on unemployment.  However these are largely indicative symptoms, not causes, behaviour, distractions and choices which are sought after and enjoyed by people who already have unhealthy, anti-social and potentially dangerous unresolved emotional agendas.  Any open-hearted person with genuine integrity is absolutely disgusted, sickened and infuriated by the waste involved and the misleading conclusions arrived at in the innumerable research reports, theoretical surmising and publications produced by innumerable individuals in government, the media and other organisations that pretend to investigate violence.

 

In fact those involved are rarely, if ever motivated by a genuine interest in the truth, to learn self-awareness, nor by an unselfish concern for improving the quality of other peoples' lives.  Rather they choose their occupations and involvement for the usual dishonest and unacknowledged reasons:-

-     to have a convenient excuse to evade their primary responsibilities as adults, spouses and parents

-     to fill their lives with constant distractions, idle curiosity and vicarious voyeurism by interfering in matters about which they are totally ignorant so as to avoid looking at their own behaviour, their own feelings or the truth about their own parents and childhoods and relationships

-     to patronise, criticise, disapprove of, intrude upon, have control over, cause trouble for and play games with the very people they are supposed to be serving, using them as a target for all the guilt, anger, pain and fear they haven't the decency, courage and integrity to deal with in their own lives

-     to affect sanctimonious self-righteousness and a fraudulent pretence of concern for others so as to disguise the distress and damage they both cause and allow to themselves, to their own families and to other people

-     to delude themselves that they are important, capable, competent, intelligent and knowledgeable and to avoid acknowledging and admitting they do not know the answers and that all their theories are fundamentally flawed - to do this would expose their true feelings of insecurity, inadequacy, impotence and ignorance

-     to ensure that their learned foolishness, self-delusions and twisted perception of reality are inexcusably maintained and perpetuated within the community, in particular imposed upon children, and to obstruct any really open, honest and unbiased discussion of the truth about what fundamental changes are really needed

-     to continue in their own unrestrained pursuit of and  addiction to the worst drugs in our society - the accumulation of money and material possessions and an obsession with position, power, fame and the approval of others

 

These self-styled experts have themselves inevitably been deprived, neglected, oppressed, abused, molested, interfered with and invalidated as children and to avoid coming to terms with this, they have invented all kinds of excuses, explanations, justifications and rationalisations about their own childhoods and parents, a complete denial of reality and refusal to be even slightly open.  As a consequence, any opinion or theory they propose to explain violence is completely worthless and, despite their status in society, the importance of their positions, the extent of their experience and the impressive nature of their qualifications, none of them has even the remotest idea of what constitutes real child care for a start, what is a physically, emotionally and spiritually healthy environment in which to bring up children.  In fact they are ignorant of even the simplest and most basic aspects of life yet have the impertinence, presumption and arrogance to give advice, enquire into and report upon the underlying causes of and possible solutions to various forms of violence. 

 

Not only do they deliberately fool themselves in this but in choosing to deny the voice of their MAKER within through their consciences, they cause more distress to the very people they are paid to serve.  This is not simple irresponsibility or negligence but is criminal culpability that confirms them in all senses of the word as knowing accessories in both the legal and moral sense.  There are no half measures, no compromises and no easy solutions and in choosing to ignore the simple and obvious truth, they become part of the problem, not part of the solution.  As such they will share so deservedly in the obvious afflictions of all those who similarly choose to collude in this effective widespread conspiracy of emotional expediency, cosmetic pretence and dishonest deceit.

 

(d) Solutions to Violence

To do something real about violence of any kind naturally requires a complete revision of every aspect of the accepted usual patterns of living but to do anything less is a total waste of time which will only produce the usual reassuring and simplistic clichés.  Unless the problem is addressed directly and in its entirety, no amount of artificial and contrived constraints or controls imposed will keep violence from rapidly proliferating nor will money, fame, power or position prevent its intrusion into anyone's life - increasingly these attributes will only attract it.

 

The proposals to tighten so-called discipline in schools and in homes (yet another form of violence directed against unloved and un-listened to children) and to stiffen penalties under law are absolutely useless and only motivated by guilt, irrational fear and vindictive spite - reintroducing the death penalty is an example of the ultimate act of vengeful violence, killing.  Better security, surveillance, alarm systems, guard dogs and imprisonment facilities are also a total waste of time and money as these all fail to deal with the essential problem and underlying cause.  Besides, the determination and sophistication of criminals has and will continue to keep pace with the improvements in technology and to employ more police of the present standard is to simply cause more crime.

 

Anti-bullying programs for children at school to teach them not to be violent to one another is the usual superficial nonsense and pretence that permeates all cultures globally. Everyone knows that child bullies come from homes where they are bullied and it is one or both of the parents who are the problem, who need to be punished. As usual the children are made to carry a double measure of blame. Trying to educate children in programs at schools to avoid using drugs is the same dishonest, externalised, hypocrisy undertaken to make it appear as though parents and teachers are genuinely concerned - if they were, there would be no violence!  The truth is that all western societies today thrive on and idolise violence, crime, disasters, tragedies, sexual perversion, exhibitionism and promiscuity for all the reasons outlined herein and most people do not really want to do anything real about this due to their detached disinterest, depraved voyeurism or complicit involvement. See the report below about the Media (E)

 

This short, simple and easily understood analysis provides a framework within which all major problems facing the world can be both understood and addressed in real terms.  All it takes is the courage for individuals to try what is suggested and any decent, law-abiding and genuinely caring person should be delighted to do anything that would reduce crime, car accidents, suicides, sickness and disease, suffering of all kinds, sexual perversion, alcoholism and drug-addiction, waste, pollution, real intolerance and bigotry, spiritual bankruptcy and ignorance.

 

(e) War & Killing

All those that go to war, do so for reasons which though rarely acknowledged are always foolish, sadistic, cowardly, selfish, indirect and fundamentally dishonest - for the 'adventure', the false camaraderie (an unsuccessful compensation for the deprivation of a healthy father-son relationship), to escape the tedium, hardship and monotony of their own lives, in an attempt to feel like real men, as an excuse to get away from their parents, wives and families, to pretend to be a patriot and concerned citizen, because they actively enjoy killing, to protect their self-centred and greedy lifestyles, because they are too scared and concerned what other people may think and do if they refuse to fight and kill and finally, too simple-minded and naive to see how they are being lied to, deceived and exploited.  In essence this is the root cause of all aggressive, competitive, ambitious, expansionary behaviour whether in families, organisations, communities or countries - the desire to conquer, dominate and have power over is founded as always upon unresolved feelings and learned behaviour from childhood - even ritualised contests for sport and entertainment are no different.

 

Any fool can shoot a gun or drop a bomb, it takes no real skill or courage whatsoever to be a robotic extension of a killing machine - it often avoids confronting the equally deluded enemy face-to-face at close range and having to face the reality of his individuality and humanity.  Guns and all other modern armaments are essentially cowardly and indefensible upon any basis whatsoever - they cause horrendous injuries and suffering which no real adult would or could ever inflict upon another human being, ever, and have absolutely disastrous effects on the environment itself, long after the conflict has ended.  The ends never justify the means and napalm, gas, chemical and nuclear weapons in particular are obscenities that could never be conceived of, designed, constructed or used by any civilised person or race.  In fact all gun use and ownership for any purpose whatsoever whether by the farmers, hunters, police, the armed forces or criminals is essentially violent and should be vigorously discouraged by legislation.  The inappropriately excessive and disproportionate outrage which surfaces when laws are proposed to restrict or ban gun ownership shows clearly that there is much more at stake than what they are acknowledging in the objections stated, a sinister emotional agenda just beneath the surface.  Guns are typically misused to discharge rage indirectly by trying to feel powerful and by unnecessarily killing human being or other living creatures.  Alternatively, like martial arts and guard dogs, they give a false and entirely inappropriate sense of security or defence from perceived external threats to those who have been violated as children.  Both however are examples of potentially dangerous, incipient paranoia which should not be indulged or encouraged in any way.

 

The horrendous and futile waste of the best of the young men in all the totally avoidable wars is an obscenity and outrage yet unrepentant killers (and those who so aspire) still will not acknowledge the folly of these completely pointless conflicts.  That ex-soldiers and their families can so stubbornly maintain such convenient and stupid delusions about 'honour', 'gallantry' and the 'glorious sacrifice' shows the lengths to which emotionally crippled and stunted males and females will go to avoid facing the awful truth about war and the unnecessary waste of their friends' and relations’ lives.  Specifically it was the epitome of irresponsibility, cowardice and misguided foolishness for those in countries like Australia and New Zealand to rashly volunteer to defend England across the other side of the world in the First World War.  This act of voluntary, continued, colonial exploitation, suicidal masochism and ill-conceived naiveté only helped guarantee the inevitability of the Second World War.

 

Doctors and nurses and other non-combatant service personnel were equally culpable because, as usual, their involvement invariably protracted, prolonged and aggravated the suffering and provided complicit support for this essentially inhumane atrocity - they were and are literally accessories before and after the fact.  The blundering, incompetent, criminally negligent and uncaring British officers, drawn largely from the parasitic aristocracy and true to their racist, bigoted and condescending heritage and hardened natures, deliberately and offhandedly squandered tens of thousands of lives in profitless disasters and ignominious defeats like Gallipoli, effectively treating men a thousand times their own worth and significance as expendable, sub-human 'cannon fodder'.  This is exactly what so many fine young men fought and died for and they achieved absolutely nothing despite all the subsequent military posturing, parading and childish fantasising.

 

It is useful to look at the ignominy of Gallipoli as well as the situation in the Middle East as they precisely exemplify the atrocities committed by governments against their own troops, ‘collateral damage’ on a grand scale, and the dangerous and destructive stupidity of their malicious meddling! The Turkish ruler Enver Pasha was a tiny, vain, strutting 31 year old Turkish aged infant, greedy for power and a real war monger.  He approached Britain, France, Russia and then Germany at the beginning of the war to get help and support by treaty.  He undertook a foolhardy offensive in which he disastrously lost 86,000 out of 100,000 of his own men but this attack initially panicked the Russians who asked Britain to stage a diversion in the Dardanelles, the strait that leads to Constantinople (now Istanbul). No-one told Britain of Pasha’s defeat or that the attack at Gallipoli was then no longer necessary or possibly they just didn’t care – most of the members of the force committed were expendable colonials! Russia was promised Constantinople and Britain planned how it would ‘carve up’ the Middle East after the war and the inglorious, dishonourable catastrophe that we should be determined to forget ensued.

 

In the early 1900’s, Jerusalem and Bagdad were great Jewish cities and in 1917 Britain expressed strong support for the state of Israel. Kitchener and Sir Mark Sykes (36) were charged with the responsibility of drawing the post-war Middle East borders, inadequate, restless, changeable little men with very limited experience and even less real ability, hopelessly out of their depth, typical of the British upper class!. In 1918 Sykes died and Winston Churchill, 45 at the time, became involved and was largely responsible for Arabia from 1920. Churchill despite all the delusional fantasies to the contrary was one of the most destructive and dangerous men of the 20th century, another small spirited, fat, lazy grossly overindulged, emotionally un-weaned, alcoholic, cigar-sucking, ambitious, belligerent, disloyal total failure as a man, husband, father and leader who fooled people with his clever words. The French took over Syria/Lebanon and made a border which led to today's horrifying problems and what was supposed to be a temporary British expedient created Jordan (under Abdullah Hussein) and then Iraq (Faisal Hussein) and finally Arabia (Iben Saud), cutting off two thirds of established Kuwait for Saudi Arabia in 1922. What a legacy that we suffer today, what cost in human lives!

 

Rolls of (dis)honour in churches would be literally blasphemous if these buildings had anything to do with GOD and none of those directly or indirectly involved in wars will have any part in GOD's salvation if they are not genuinely repentant and publicly so - otherwise their inevitable and thoroughly deserved destiny will be an eternity in hell.  Since the coming of CHRIST, there is no legitimate excuse, justification or valid reason for killing or wounding anyone, anywhere, ever.  The Bible shows clearly that GOD will identifiably intervene in the lives of all individuals, communities, regions and countries in clear and specific ways and will defend and protect HIS people wherever they are without them needing to use violence.  People just will not listen or choose to change and reorder their self-centred existences and all those who fraudulently espouse any of the misrepresented mutations of Christianity worldwide ought to be especially ashamed of themselves for participating in or supporting any war.  It is a delusion to believe that any one entire race or nation is in the right or has GOD on their side.  It is more a question of the degree of wickedness, immorality and obsession with power and personal gain shown by all those in charge of all nations worldwide and GOD can only be fairly seen to have chosen the lesser of two evils in the outcome of all wars in the last 2,000 years or so.In fact national leaders all over the world today are literally criminals in the full moral and legal senses of the words and the very 'best' are merely masters of pretence, feigned concern and devious deception.

 

It is infinitely more courageous and manly and a courageous act of true faith to refuse to go to or support war in any way and there are many effective methods of avoiding involvement in these stupid, cowardly and destructive conflicts and of defending the life and integrity of family and friends without having to murder other human beings.  Most casualties in modern warfare are civilians who have never worn a uniform or carried a gun notably women, the elderly and infirm and completely innocent children.  War can always be prevented and/or avoided by both individuals and societies using foresight, intelligence, wisdom, discretion, patience, appropriate expressions of written and verbal outrage and real faith whilst avoiding hypocrisy and self-indulgence.  It may be necessary to relocate families elsewhere, somewhere safe - in these situations, possessions are not important, nothing else matters but precious life itself.  This simple, sensible and obvious course of action clearly eluded those Jews in eastern Europe that were too foolish, greedy and stubborn to leave during the whole of the 1930’s despite the warnings about what was going to happen.  Any and all wars could have and should have been easily prevented well beforehand by capable and competent political intervention and the root causes can always be traced back to the previous intrusions and interference of colonial powers.

 

There is never any difficulty in finding the money to take life and no end of excuses forthcoming to avoid finding the money to save it!  In fact every single war has set back the process of achieving real, lasting peace, international cooperation and harmony and the continuing legacy and enormous human, environmental and financial cost of all these cowardly atrocities is only too apparent today.  In the so-called 'post war' period since 1945, at least another 20 million people have died in over 100 subsequent conflicts worldwide and a further 60 million people have been wounded, imprisoned, separated from their families and forced to flee their homes or their countries as refugees.  Mankind has never learned anything of value from any or all of the numerous wars it has become embroiled in and so is destined to endlessly repeat this folly until it does.

 

In the more than 30 present ongoing conflicts this human misery continues unabated despite the Geneva Conventions as ratified by 164 states which laid down clear rules that all victims of war were entitled to protection from murder, torture, starvation and being taken hostage.  This demonstrates the entirely theoretical and totally useless nature of international law - the governments that make these laws and agreements all break them at random with no regard for the consequences, in particular at home.  An excellent insight into what is really going on in supposedly democratic countries like the USA is to look at the horrifying truth about John F. Kennedy’s assassination without being distracted by the carefully orchestrated cover-up using Lee Harvey Oswald as yet another conveniently set-up scapegoat.  No sensible, sane, aware or mature person could be in any doubt as to the certain existence of an appalling criminal conspiracy involving the most senior people in the political arena, armed forces, government, FBI & CIA, police forces and other less savoury and shadowy underworld figures.  Clearly no self-respecting, decent, law-abiding member of government of any other nation in the world could have any contact whatsoever with the USA until they publicly rectify this enormous injustice as well as the closely related illegitimate, disastrous, insane and dictatorial foreign policies they have imposed upon so many other countries worldwide.

 

In Bosnia, for example the United Nations (see the ‘Corruption’ file) was easily able and capable of resolving the situation from the very beginning with minimal loss of life.  This would have only taken sufficient courage, honesty, integrity and decency to confront the Serbs (and all the other killers on both sides who have started and continue this horrible conflict) then and given them an ultimatum - bullies are always cowards and inevitably respond to the credible threat of direct and firm action.  Diplomacy and tact have never worked and are clearly just another excuse and disguise for clever deceit, greed, cowardice, dishonesty and hypocrisy - talking or negotiating with criminals is an indulgence and a total waste of life.  It is also demeaning and degrading to those who do this and implicates them as accessories.  This tangible and effective action could have been taken in Yugoslavia years ago without violence or any loss of life, exactly the same situation as existed before both World Wars.  Although no-one has the right to tell anyone else what to do, speaking the truth straight and direct (without the usual cowardice, self interest, emotional and financial expediency, hypocrisy, double standards and confusing mixed messages of the usual diplomatic initiatives) followed by the evacuation of all those who want nothing whatsoever to do with the war, especially children and women, is what is needed first.  Children should be forcibly evacuated, if necessary, as not even their own parents have the moral or legal right to impose war upon them.  People should be discouraged from staying on out of any misplaced sense of guilt about those who refuse to leave, even members of their own family, as leaving is the only sensible and sane option.  There are many thousand times the resources available all over the world to provide the necessary temporary or permanent accommodation, clothing, bedding, food and transport for these refugees who most need immediate relief from the constant threat of danger and the provision of their simple daily needs.  Those who chose to stay to fight should be treated with the contempt and disdain they so clearly deserve and completely isolated by everyone else in the world on every level - no contact whatsoever until they come to their senses or blessedly wipe one another out.

 

The United Nations and all its individual member nations chose to not do this for a whole range of entirely self-interested and very twisted reasons and they will never ever achieve anything satisfactory even given the enormous resources of every kind at their disposal.  With all their armies and armaments they obviously believe in force and violence yet they won’t even use this weapon productively - their lame threats are as usual too little, too late, just like the protests by Chamberlain to Hitler before World War II, yet another dangerous 'little man way out of his depth' in a position of leadership.  Worse, the UN actually encouraged those in cities like Sarajevo to remain in a war zone constantly under threat of death through their pathetic and enormously costly efforts of so-called relief aid support - this is the behaviour of twisted, emotionally sick individuals who are unable to be relied upon to act humanely or even sensibly.   No better are those deviates from other parts of the world that sent the children in Sarajevo money and coloured pencils and paper instead of at least ensuring that their own government did something real to extricate the innocents from the constant threat of being killed or wounded.  They are in fact worse than the Serbian killers themselves who at least don’t pretend too much.  Most disgusting of all was the situation with Srebrenica, the so-called UN 'safe haven’ where the UN promised sanctuary to civilian refugees and then predictably abandoned them to be murdered in their thousands by the Serbs.  All those involved in the UN and all member nations with this atrocity are themselves equally responsible for all the subsequent deaths and they should also be charged as war criminals - what the UN did was worse than the Seerbs!  It is all enormous hypocrisy, deceit and pretence - it is action and not words that shows what people and organisations are really all about and the actions and inaction of these self-centred, cowardly, apathetic, disinterested, voyeuristic and depraved deviates show clearly that the worst of them both enjoy and thrive on suffering and distress - in the case of the United Nations they are so aptly named “observers

 

The Americans and to a lesser extent the Australians remain fixated with the legacy of Vietnam because there is no closure – the real underlying issues remain un-faced and the associated feelings not dealt with. Typical of the American approach to life and ‘reality’, this most ‘lost’ of all nations continues to endlessly talk and write about Vietnam and make films that superficially portray what happened there whilst desperately avoiding WHY it happened and so make exactly the same mistakes and repeat exactly the same atrocities elsewhere on the planet. The main reason that veterans generally do not want to face the horrifying truth abut what really happened, the pain and anger of being used, manipulated, lied to, betrayed and sent to be slaughtered by those in charge that they stupidly trusted, was that this lack of courage, insight, integrity, decency and simple humanity had its origins in their relationships with their own parents and especially with their fathers.

 

Any father who had grown into a real man and who really loved his son would have brought him up to hate violence of all kinds, to see the violence, folly and deceit of war, to know the greed for power, territorial gain and money that motivates all national leaders worldwide, to recognise their abject failure and obvious incompetence and abject failure as adults, spouses, parents and leaders and their certifiable paranoia and fascism in foreign policy, planning and initiatives. These frauds, hypocrites, cowards and opportunists are expert at concealing their essentially wicked, corrupt, evil and inhumane natures and actions beneath such a well practised, wordy veneer and polished public relations performance of niceness, humanity, decency and dedication to the general good. A total lie and complete façade.

 

The veterans’ own fathers were ultimately responsible for their sons going to war, for the atrocities that they committed and the pain, suffering and distress that they inflicted on others and imposed upon themselves. They were also responsible for their sons not being open, honest, direct and spontaneous with all their own feelings which caused the situation in the first place and which has prevented any possibility of rehabilitation and recovery (see Health & Healing). Those who willingly go to war have themselves obviously received no real love or care from either of their parents and have always been deprived, neglected, abused and violated as babies and children, especially by their mothers and other female relations (for which their fathers and other male relations bear overall responsibility). It is easier for them to justify killing relatively innocent civilians elsewhere on the planet including babies and children than it is to face how they really feel and non-violently express their murderous rage and pain at their guilty parents.

 

(f) Colonial History

History, especially over the past 500 years, has been outrageously falsified about the real natures, activities and motivations of the explorers, pioneers and early colonial settlers, most of what has been written being romanticised, exaggerated nonsense and dishonest deceit.  In fact with few exceptions, the colonial powers who effectively invaded so many countries worldwide were brutal and cruel killers, destructive vandals, thieving scavengers, heretics and heathens and unwelcome interlopers of whom the miners, farmers, loggers, fishermen, whalers, sealers, trappers, hunters, administrators, soldiers, police, businessmen and church leaders were the most infamous examples.  Many were the real introduced pests and vermin of these countries predictably motivated by acquisitive greed, a desperation to evade their true responsibilities as men, husbands and fathers, by (unsuccessfully) trying to feel in charge, capable, important and manly and most of all, to violently focus their unresolved and unacknowledged lethal emotional agendas against anything beautiful, unspoiled, living, natural and pristine - the worst possible people to undertake the difficult task of exploration and settlement.

 

Most of their so-called bravery, endurance, fortitude, courage and foresight was masochistic deprivation, sadistic cruelty, irresponsible cowardice and stubborn stupidity - it is especially illuminating to look at the privation and hardship they imposed upon their wives and children.  The very few people who expressed any serious misgivings at what was happening were little better - cowards who failed to intervene effectively, frauds and hypocrites who affected an entirely false, external pretence of concern to ease their guilty consciences with only ineffectual, useless and pathetically inadequate protests and the minimum possible personal investment and risk and twisted voyeurs and deviates who actually enjoyed and profited from the situation without having the honesty to admit this openly.  This accurately describes the colonial invasions undertaken all over the world by the English, Dutch, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Belgians, Italians, Turkish and other colonial powers - the recent inexcusable and deservedly disastrous intrusions into Indochina and into the Persian Gulf by America and her Allies, into Afghanistan and Chechnya by the Russians and by the Indonesians into Irian Jaya were no different in substance, further examples of the same self-interested, self-righteous, ill-conceived, ill-advised, misguided, wasteful and wholly unwarranted blunders, motivated by exactly the same indecent self-interest and unprincipled greed.

 

The very basis upon which so many colonies were established at such little expense demonstrates unequivocally the selfish, greedy, unjust, unfair, harsh, oppressive and totally unenlightened reasons which motivated all colonial powers, especially their unbridled lust for territory, power and military expansion.  The English judicial system, for example, was a sick and twisted abomination and the judiciary were criminals themselves who illegally conspired and colluded with their political masters and fellow cohorts of the monarchy, aristocracy and landed gentry in monstrous atrocities perpetrated inexcusably against the poorest and most defenceless members of their society.  Rather than attend to the basic injustice, inequity and undeserved privilege that underlay this situation and do something fair and reasonable about the disgusting, indefensible opulence and luxury of their own sumptuous lifestyle, these heathens and heretics posing as Christians with unconscionable cruelty and culpable indifference sentenced relatively innocent men, women and children to death or penal servitude for trivial, insignificant crimes, transporting the human refuse of convicts  across the other side of the globe and so removing the inconvenient and embarrassing evidence of their own inconceivable inhumanity,  The totally indefensible land enclosures had previously caused the problem in the first place, forcing people off the land and into the cities to be exploited as an accessible, cheap and coerced workforce, ‘cannon fodder’ for the factories of industry.  Here the squalor, filth, poverty, overcrowding, disease and deprivation inevitably forced people to commit crime in order to survive, to steal enough bread to avoid starvation - there are obvious similarities and parallels to the situation that exists in society today.  Without doubt, all those responsible for this criminal outrage both then and now will be undoubtedly consigned to an eternity in hell, a thoroughly deserved and entirely just damnation.

 

These environmental menaces and opportunistic parasites indiscriminately clear felled and burned off the magnificent forests, more than decimated the wildlife, undeservedly plundered the natural resources (timber, minerals, gemstones, furs, feathers, meat, skins, bone and native crops) without paying anything like the full true cost, eroded the soil, silted up, dammed and channelled all the streams and rivers, reduced stocks of native animal, bird, fish and insect life to a mere fraction of their healthy and desirable levels and drove many species to extinction, unnecessarily polluted the water, land and air with domestic and industrial waste, dangerous chemicals and other undesirable substances, disastrously disrupted the entire ecological balance of nature, changed rainfall patterns and other aspects of the climate,, ruined the sustainable long term agricultural potential and viability of the land and in general irreversibly damaged and devastated the natural beauty of the landscape wherever they went.  In their pathetic and misguided efforts to make their colonial conquests into overseas versions of their own home countries they introduced a plethora of insidious and impossible to control and eradicate weeds, pests, vermin and other inappropriate species with disastrous future consequences and horrendous long term costs.  They scandalously misused large areas of these lands and surrounding seas for the testing of their dangerous armaments and to satisfy their idle "scientific" curiosity and experimentation.  All this was done with no real concern for the effects upon the environment or consideration of the needs of future generations and they effectively stole these resources from their own children and grandchildren.  They even casually felled many outstanding trees which were the oldest and tallest in the world, often using the timber for trivial, insignificant, unnecessary and considerably less than vital purposes. Their descendants will be forever burdened with and forced to subsidise the horrendous, perpetual, ongoing expense of the clumsy, misguided, poorly planned, destructive rampages of these grubby, careless, impatient, inept, frenzied, violent, depraved, dangerous and clinically deranged maniacs.

 

In the name of "Christianity”, “civilisation” and “progress", these marauding European hordes arrogantly presumed to have the GOD-given right to take over countries and without conscience assaulted, killed, raped, sexually molested, tortured, tormented, kidnapped, prostituted, oppressed, exploited, enslaved, addicted, diseased, dispossessed and spiritually misled the local native people.  They pillaged their possessions, stole their children, fragmented their families and tribes, destroyed their culture, capitalised upon their superstitions, ignorance and fear and imposed a completely unrealistic, impractical, unsustainable, self-indulgent, greedy and wasteful lifestyle upon them.  These unprincipled invaders treated local populations of Aboriginals, Maoris, Pacific Islanders, American Indians and other natives as sub-human animals, dealt with them deceitfully, unfairly, inhumanely and with off-handed patronising contempt, denied them any rights and adequate access to resources and deliberately provoked them into fully justified retaliation so as to have a convenient excuse to imprison, poison, shoot and exterminate them, even the women and children.  The natives certainly had much more justification for killing the whites who had started it all in the first place.  In many cases such as the Indian tribes of North America and Maoris of New Zealand, the natives were proud and spirited people who defeated or greatly troubled the colonial invaders in warfare even given the enormous disadvantage in arms.

 

When force failed, colonial powers typically resorted to what they all did best, treachery and deceit, aided and abetted (as today) by the impostors who infest the so-called Christian churches.  They knew they would eventually overcome the natives because they would soon control the courts, the police and the prison system - they had successfully misused and abused their power to subdue the poor and lower classes in their own countries for centuries.  They similarly manipulated the natives and kept them quiet and submissive by encouraging them to escape into drink and drugs, into other essentially time and life wasting fantasies like the printed word (later, radio and television) and into violent and competitive distractions like sports, games and even war.  This helped the populace avoid confronting the awful reality of their lives, effectively stopped them acknowledging and expressing how they really felt about this shameful situation and so prevented any constructive change towards a fairer and more just society.

 

All colonial conquests without exception are a chronicle of dishonesty and hypocrisy characterised by a litany of lies, broken promises, inconceivable double standards, implausible explanations and excuses and platitudinous self-justifications and, considering the odds against the natives, extraordinary cowardice.  No decent human being could or would have ever done what they did or behave in this way and all the avoidable problems and difficulties they encountered were a direct consequence of their indefensible attitude and approach.

 

In truth, the colonial freeloaders were just jealous and hated to see the simple, natural, enjoyable, ecologically-sound and much more sensible, spontaneous and healthy lives of the natives and the better freedom and climate they enjoyed.  As a consequence, they in action did their best to destroy the entire fabric of native life and culture in order to satisfy their own sadistic, spiteful perversity and envy.  Europe was overcrowded, devastated and polluted and the usual lifestyle there was absurdly regulated, regimented, controlled, contrived, unhealthy and about as far removed from sanity and peoples' real needs as can be possibly imagined - it is worse today.  Most disgracefully of all, the Europeans (and now the Americans) did what they did in the name of GOD, fraudulently misleading and imposing their religious hypocrisy and blasphemous heresy onto defenceless, gullible, helpless, coerced and intimidated native populations.  Their spiritual beliefs, as taught and lived by all the established churches then (and today) were (and still are) a bastardised mutation and mutilation of genuine Christianity involving only empty and meaningless words, well practised pretence and carefully orchestrated pagan rituals and festivals.  This total misrepresentation of CHRIST's teachings had nothing whatsoever to do with the true essence of GOD, CHRIST or Love, just another tool of oppression, a way of conditioning and compelling native people into accepting 'civilised' spiritual nonsense whilst depriving them of their lands, their life-style, their dignity, their freedom and even their lives.

 

Although there is nothing intrinsically wrong with the exploration and settling of new countries, this obviously needs to be done by the right people, for the right reasons, at the right time, in the right way - very carefully, slowly and responsibly, initially by single men only, with due respect for and a clear understanding of the particular individual needs of the native inhabitants and of the local environment itself.  This sensible, humane and responsible approach however takes restraint, maturity, unselfishness, patience, intelligence, wisdom, fairness, morality and a genuine Christian commitment, attributes so obviously lacking both then and now, most especially amongst those with wealth and in positions of power, authority and public trust.  Even given the incidence of cannibalism, savagery, cruelty and brutality by many native populations, they enjoyed in many respects a more civilised, "Christian" lifestyle and a much better quality of life - there was certainly more real love and more honesty in their lives than in those of their conquerors.  The Europeans for centuries had been decadent and destructive nations, declining in all standards of decency and morality, most particularly in their ruling and middle classes.  In contrast many native societies before colonial interference were infinitely better off than they are today - native people were clean, tidy and organised, were properly housed often in beautiful surroundings, were careful and sharing with resources, were slim and well-fed and enjoyed a varied, balanced, sufficient diet, had a healthy, active life, cultivated a range of complementary crops, suffered little sickness and no serious disease, had a low infant mortality rate, treasured their historical and cultural heritage, demonstrated rich, creative skills and craftsmanship, had a low incidence of theft, experienced little greed or covetousness, no poverty or unemployment (everyone was involved and made a productive contribution), enjoyed considerable leisure (much more than the average 'successful' citizen of the wealthy industrialised nations today!) and finally, they were careful with natural resources, had a genuine respect for the environment and minimised their impact upon it.  What a contrast to so-called 'Christian civilisation'!  It is reasonable to conclude that they had a great deal to teach colonial masters about life if these arrogant, ignorant and intolerant interlopers had only listened.

 

What the natives needed then, just as they do now was firm but gentle, unselfish, enlightened patriarchal leadership and an adult example of caring for their own bodies and spirits and of expressing their feelings openly, constructively and non-violently.  They also needed to be given a just and fair system of law and order, an equitable apportionment of resources according to need and opportunity, promotion and rank based on demonstrated responsibility, innate capacity, talent and dedication (especially to the needs of others) without regard to colour or religion and a real sharing of physical and emotional burdens.

 

With this approach, the natives with few exceptions would have welcomed the European settlement, would have willingly embraced the Christian faith as genuinely expressed and lived by the settlers, would have given up their various violent and brutal customs (for example, disfiguring and tattooing themselves, fighting, killing and eating one another) and would have learned to deal with their feelings without savagery.  In addition they would have rejected their own idolatry and fantasisied spiritual beliefs, all of which are very like children’s fairytales and which share much in common with the bizarre beliefs espoused by many of the other world religions.  If the whites had been true Christians, they would treated the natives with care and respect and bought land at a fair price or better, just leased it to account for future contingencies and developments.  In addition they would have learnt from the natives about caring for the land and in return taught them the rudiments of agriculture, farming, the care of livestock and simple tool manufacture using metals.  Most importantly white Christians would have shown the natives in action the essence of a true Christian lifestyle - clean, tidy, ordered, peaceful, quiet, healthy, just, giving, sharing, considerate, fair, patient, direct but gentle, never violent and simple living with real concern for waste and pollution, with very little in preaching and talking but a lot of diligent, active and unselfish effort.

 

In stark contrast these barbarian Europeans introduced a fraudulent system which protected their own vested interests at any cost and which kept the natives in a subservient, underprivileged and oppressed social and economic position with no chance of escape, in chronic dependency.  They stupidly divided up the land arbitrarily, setting unworkable, artificial boundaries that took no account of traditional land ownership, tribal borders or migration patterns and then dictatorially imposed these to suit their own agendas by using force.  This inevitably caused the subsequent conflict, famine and suffering that has beset all colonised countries to some degree ever since, notably those in Africa, Asia and South America. They imprisoned or confined to reservations Indians who were a free and nomadic race of people, forced them to live in squalor, obstructed and prevented them from supporting themselves in their normal, healthy ways and so created a contrived, unhealthy, unsustainable lifestyle totally reliant and unnaturally dependent upon government and institutional systems and funding like unemployment benefits.  Natives were then criticised and ridiculed for this, a situation not of their own making, forced as usual to carry the burden of white mans' guilt about his own bludging, thievery, parasitism, inactivity and essential laziness.  Without question or debate, the natives were conditioned to the insanity, rigidity and basic unhealthiness of white culture and like rats in a trap, they either turned on their tormentors or on one another (especially on their own children), became addicted to alcohol or ingratiated themselves to their masters, adopting all that was detestable about the invaders' acquisitive greed, dishonest attitudes and hypocritical pretence. When it suited the colonial powers, especially those affecting some religious belief, killing suddenly was no longer savage or barbaric but was justified, condoned and actively encouraged providing it was to defend and protect the 'mother' country’s self-interest. 

 

Native people were and still are disadvantaged and discriminated against and the disproportionate rate of unemployment, incidence of disease, lower life expectancy, higher infant mortality and higher rates of alcoholism, drug addiction, crime and imprisonment amongst natives confirms this. In effect they are deliberately provoked by many whites into breaking the law as the only way to get some semblance of justice as well as a fair share of resources and opportunities - also, this was and is one way they could indirectly express their resentment and fury at what had been done to them by whites and by their parents alike.  Despite this fundamental injustice, those who take this recourse are simplistically labelled as criminals, judged and condemned by both their own culture and white society alike and made to carry a double burden of guilt for being placed in an intolerable situation.  Their so-called violence and crimes faithfully reflect the violence and criminal prejudice imposed upon them as children and young adults and this is the main reason there is such a disproportionate percentage of indigenous people in jails throughout the whole world.

 

Whites have also encouraged natives (and their own poorer classes) to wipe one another out -  natives, spurred on by the so-called 'macho' ethic, are wilfully collaborating in their own destruction.  Like laboratory rats tormented with electrical shocks in a cage, when they realised there was no way out, they turned on one another just as they still do today.  An excellent example of this was the recent riots in Los Angeles that were predictably ignited by the usual police anarchy, brutality and total contempt for the law along with the fully anticipated, subsequent complicit conspiracy by the crooks in the corrupt court system to cover this up.  The subsequent outpouring of fully justified outrage only showed what had been there all the time, repressed just under the surface, waiting for something relatively minor to provide the catalyst or 'spark' for its unmanageable release.  Tragically, as is so often the case, the rage was  directed against the wrong people, in the wrong areas, in the wrong ways - violence by blacks against blacks (and against even more vulnerable racial minorities), destroying property owned and used by blacks in black neighbourhoods.  Widespread, intense spoken and written expressions of outrage along with a refusal to pay taxes and other non-violent means of (non-passive) protest would have been far more effective, less destructive, would not have obscured the legitimacy of the protest with guilt and would have maintained the energy over a much longer period of time. 

 

The feelings needed to be legally and productively focused against the corruption, injustice and discrimination that so clearly infest the law enforcement and criminal justice systems and state and federal governments throughout the whole of America.  The situation is no different any else in the world and no right minded, law abiding person today would voluntarily contribute one cent in taxes towards the salaries of those unprincipled, dishonourable and iniquitous scoundrels who by false pretences extort and defraud their wholly undeserved, exorbitant salaries within these completely irredeemable, self serving and fundamentally immoral institutions of power - all those who do so are literally accessories before and after the fact to all their impropriety and criminality.

 

It was not only what colonial powers did but how they did it - so much needless waste and senseless destruction was caused for no valid reason whatsoever.  Nothing was ever replaced, replenished, restored, tidied or cleaned up nor any allowance ever made for natural, spontaneous regeneration.  They knew exactly what they were doing at the time, could clearly see the destruction they were causing and were fully aware of the disastrous future consequences of their criminal activities.  Most just didn't care and it is a convenient, fanciful and childish self-delusion and fantasy to believe otherwise as they had centuries of experience and evidence in their own countries and other colonies that they chose to completely ignore.  In fact if anything the quality of colonial intrusions has deteriorated over the years - for example, in both Australia and New Zealand more damage was done in less than 200 years than anywhere else previously and the situations more recently in Afghanistan and Vietnam have been much worse again.  Finally, when the horrifying ramifications of their criminal negligence and deliberate destruction began to become apparent and it started to cost them more than their ill-gotten gains, colonial powers simply opted out leaving behind an appalling legacy of desolation, confusion, division, hatred, bigotry, injustice, hardship and inequity that still exists in all previous colonies today, without exception.

 

The continuing legacy and enormous human, environmental and financial cost is only too apparent today and the vast majority of all problems, especially with refugees, facing the under-developed and emerging nations of the world are attributable and can be directly traced to and blamed upon these colonial atrocities - even endemic local difficulties and conflicts have been greatly exacerbated by colonial interference.   In addition, following the colonial example of totalitarian government and reliance upon armed force (rather than democratic negotiation), military regimes have spawned all over the world with horrendous consequences.

 

One excellent example of the horrendous legacy of inexcusable colonial interference was the way Commodore Perry of the USA effectively compelled Japan in 1853 to “trade or be invaded! This impertinent presumption and inexcusable intimidation so indicative of subsequent American foreign policy virtually forced Japan into the 20th century - it is poetic justice and real irony that America got exactly what they deserved 80 years later at Pearl Harbour and now with Japans' manufacturing and trading domination and embarrassing trade surplus.  Another very similar example is what happened with China last century where the British, motivated solely by commercial greed and power and rather then pay a fair price for silk, tea, jade and spices, invaded a nation of several hundred million people using the flimsiest of pretexts.  The so-called Boxer "rebellion" was a reasonable, understandable and completely justifiable response by starving peasants who had been deliberately placed in an untenable position, intolerably provoked by the "barbarian invaders" into a completely predictable reaction.  The British then imposed their will in a brutal, unfair, arrogant and unenlightened manner and introduced a highly profitable trade in opium imported from another of their dominions, India.  The subsequent problems with China, especially in relation to Hong Kong and Taiwan, can be clearly and unmistakably traced directly back to the previous involvement and interference by the British.

 

There has never been any expression of genuine remorse nor real regret for what was done by colonial powers anywhere in the world nor has any substantial effort been made to hold them responsible, oblige them to rectify the damage nor to compel them to pay adequate compensation as they so justly should.  As a consequence the racism, inequity, double standards, injustice, corruption, hypocrisy, heresy and environmental devastation continues unabated and unrestrained by subsequent generations of their descendants who in action are far worse.

 

(g) Racism & Prejudice

Fundamental to any racist philosophy is that a particular race is inherently superior (or inferior) to another and emotionally stunted, aged delinquents the world over ascribe to such transparently unfounded foolish stupidity and simplistic, prejudiced generalities entirely based on their own feelings of guilt, jealousy, impotence, insecurity, inadequacy and inferiority. This ignorant, cowardly and sadistic attitude was displayed by all the colonial powers without exception (and is still displayed by the worst of their descendants), giving them an emotionally expedient excuse to use entire races of people as targets for the feelings they did not have the courage, decency or integrity to deal with in their own lives.  Now it would be bigoted to believe that all the Europeans were evil in this way but it is fair to say that all those with wealth and in positions of power were racist, violent, immoral and corrupt, the governors, the judges, the lawyers, the politicians, the soldiers, the police, the jailers and the clergy.  This included all those depraved parasites who enjoyed, profited from and lived off the distress and suffering of the poor, the needy, the downtrodden and the oppressed who did all the real work and still do - in GOD's terms, the best of the Europeans and natives.

 

Amongst native populations there were and are a number of fine, strong spirited, exceptional, intelligent and able men and women, of considerably more worth than most of their colonial masters, who deserved but were (and still are) denied recognition and promotion to positions of trust and responsibility.  In contrast there are many more who are no different to the worst of the whites or ‘Pakeha’, self-centred opportunists only interested in abusing and misusing their power over people, in amassing wealth and possessions and in gaining success, recognition and fame - all the childish "trinkets" and real "drugs" of modern society.  These are the real turncoats and traitors among the natives, all those who have been rewarded and approved of by white society.  Anyone who really cared for his own people could have only contempt for and want nothing to do with any government whose behaviour, attitude and philosophy faithfully reflect its colonial heritage.  It is certainly a complete waste of time for a young native, aboriginal, American indian or maori to look towards any tribal elder today for real manly leadership, direction and example as they have all adopted the worst excesses of both cultures and have as much to be ashamed of and guilty about as white males in positions of power and authority.

 

To genuinely respect one's parents and elders means to tell them the truth about how you feel about their behaviour and attitudes, loudly and angrily if necessary, and this is only discouraged by those undeserving of respect.  White people, especially the corrupt ones are absolutely terrified of the natives - particularly those who belong to gangs like the Filthy Few and Mongrel Mob - and are desperate to keep the best of them (as well as the best of their own young people) oppressed, subservient and under rigid control, misusing the police force and legal system to do so.  They also manipulate black people by indulging their spiritual fantasies, by encouraging them to waste their energies re-creating their own culture and language and by effectively bribing them with welfare and other government grants.

 

To a large extent as a direct result of colonial domination and disruption, native children today are amongst the most deprived, terrified, neglected, brutalised, abused, molested, roughly handled, intruded upon, ill-fed and oppressed alive.  As with the majority of white families, native parents do not really love and care for their children in most of the ways that all children need - love is the same no matter what race or religion and children everywhere need the same basic care.  So many native females are frantic, noisy, lazy, rough, greedy, often grossly fat (or too thin), dirty, messy and untidy, vulgar, coarse, promiscuous, un-trustable and given to incessantly talking, even screeching, whilst doing as little as possible - when told the truth or set any limits, they get angry and violent to disguise their own guilt.  Native males are also just like their white counterparts, useless, abdicated, ineffectual and emotionally un-grown "boys" who stand by doing nothing while their wives (and mothers) abuse, assault, deprive and neglect their children when they are very young.  Many are also cruel and brutal thugs who threaten, intimidate, assault, abuse and molest their children themselves.  Native people may have a great deal to be upset about externally in society at large but it is important to focus their outrage appropriately and relevantly.

 

Being angry about what happened to past generations or what is generally happening today, while avoiding facing the truth about your own parents' behaviour and your own childhood, is itself a waste of time and a distraction from the real underlying issues, just a way of going around in circles.  It is important that everyone come to terms with everything that has made them so angry within their own lives, today, not just a convenient, easy, external aspect.    Not surprisingly, many gang members and prisoners in jail, both black and white, share something in common with police, prison warders, judges, lawyers, religious groups and other pillars of society - most have totally unrealistic and fantaasised delusions about how "good" and "caring" their mothers were and of how bad and violent their fathers were, both beliefs being substantially unfounded, extreme and imbalanced.  This unrealistic perception is held on to very tenaciously and is obviously childishly reassuring despite being dangerous, unhealthy and obstructive to growth.

 

Native people all over the world have so much trouble with food, fluids of all kinds, alcohol, cigarettes, petrol & glue sniffing and other drug addictions for exactly the same reasons as whites - the misuse and abuse of food and fluid especially with babies and young children to deny and keep down feelings (native children are frequently allowed unrestricted access to the breast up until the absurd age of 5 or more), the absence of any opportunity for and the effective forced suppression of honest emotional expression using violence and the appalling negligent and immature example set by adults.  Nothing is done, especially by emotionally un-grown fathers, about their children’s needs to be physically and emotionally weaned and so they are effectively taught and conditioned to misuse various substances to deny their true feelings.  As with all addictions and substance abuse, the real problem is not the supply, but the demand, without which there is simply no problem.  To focus on and try to stop the symptom of drug trafficking, is not only a complete waste of time, money and resources but is stupid, counterproductive, essentially unfair and doomed to failure.  Only unloved and uncared for children ever resort to drugs for whatever reason - to escape, for the novelty or the experience, to comply with peer pressure, to make money - and disapproving of and relentlessly persecuting drug dealers is done only to make guilty and culpable parents and grandparents appear to be concerned.  Yet again, society as a whole is made to bear the physical, emotional and financial costs of parental irresponsibility, selfishness, laziness, greed, dishonesty, hypocrisy, pretence and child abuse.

 

Native people today are demanding the restitution of their tribal lands when land is again not the major issue or answer to their problems.  Land ownership is at least partly sought as a form of reward or a panacea to make up for the real deprivation, neglect, abuse and waste of their childhoods.  In this sense it is an inappropriate form of acquisitive greed, an extension of the foolish example set by whites.  Much of the land that they are seeking is marginal and not fit to live on for climatic and other reasons anyway.  In contrast enjoying, looking after and using the land is what is important and this does not necessarily require ownership - in fact this can be a decided impediment to a healthy, varied, fulfilling nomadic lifestyle and obstruct spontaneous change and flexibility.  If natives did not waste so much money on cigarettes, alcohol, drugs and other unnecessary wasteful indulgences, they could live extremely well on their present income, especially if they shared - it is even appropriate to use a benefit until they re-learn the skills necessary for survival and become at least partly self-supporting and self-sufficiency.  In the western world there are hundreds of thousands of vacant cottages, baches, cribs, cabins, caravans, farms and other holiday accommodation in very pleasant places which can be rented inexpensively for as long as needed during the best time of the year where there is an opportunity to improve and restore the property and surrounding countryside with an active contribution.  Many native populations no longer care for the land as they once did before white man arrived and they are just as guilty of environmental vandalism and pollution - they have foolishly accepted the western model of society with its inherent self-interested expediency, short term opportunism, unrestrained avariciousness and total abdication of responsibility.  Many native dwellings and land are in a deplorable state and an absolute disgrace and they are not showing themselves to be responsible for what they own already let alone being ready to be put in charge of more resources - this is another lesson learned from whites!

 

The solution for all those violated, disadvantaged, oppressed and discriminated against is not to use any form of violence or to break the law - this will inevitably make your situation far worse even if you appear to get away with it.  To do something really effective and long lasting takes courage, determination, perseverance, patience, honesty and integrity and involves properly growing up, coming to terms with your own childhoods and learning to express your feelings directly and constructively like real adults.  Real men at times cry (usually privately, but openly), admit when they are scared (but still do what is right) and only direct their anger at other people verbally (very loudly when appropriate) and in writing.  They only ever physically direct anger against appropriate inanimate objects - hitting punching bags, sawing and chopping wood and clearing out weeds by hand are all productive, physical ways of discharging intense rage.  Adults learn to care for themselves, form decent relationships based on mutual honesty and respect, really put their children’s needs first, speak out vigorously against injustice, ask for help without guilt when needed, use available resources provided with responsibility and always make a proper contribution in return.  It is time to recognise that all genuinely concerned men and women who want to grow and do something worthwhile with their lives have exactly the same enemies - corruption, pretence, dishonesty, greed, selfishness and hypocrisy and these are not dependent on a person's race, religion or skin colour - what most white people need to remember is that CHRIST HIMSELF was a dark skinned man of Syrian descent, not a European.

 

Any constructive change must of course start within each individual because no-one has the right to presume to give anyone else advice about anything until they have first learned to care for their own bodies, their own spirits, their own wives, their own children, their own homes and other possessions like real adults.  No-one can learn real wisdom and the appreciation of justice nor how to be a leader of men in theory or out of books - life is simply not like that.  In fact he only people who are fit to be trusted with power in any family, tribe, group or organisation whatsoever are those who have worked through all basic issues from early life and who as a consequence have no desire whatsoever for it.  Power is the most addictive and destructive drug of all and in the wrong hands causes inestimable suffering, loss of life and catastrophic consequences.  A true leader must also first unmistakeably establish that GOD does exist by developing a tangible relationship with HIM before fighting for what is right and just in this world.  To take on those with power, position, wealth and other vested interests in this world, the true spiritual wickedness in high places, without this essential leading and protection from above which comes from such a relationship would be masochistic madness indeed.  However great comfort and security can be gained from some of the Old Testament stories about how GOD delivered HIS people in the face of overwhelming odds, confounding and making complete fools of all their adversaries who typically persecuted HIS people for no just cause - just a hatred of the truth and their own enormous guilt, desperate depravity, unrestrained dementia and unsatisfied lusts.

 

It is childish, foolish fantasy and a denial of reality to believe that everyone is even potentially good and redeemable.  As the Bible itself so clearly teaches (and real Christians acknowledge), many people are innately evil and corrupt and irredeemably so - they feel no genuine remorse whatsoever and at best, affect a deceitful, wordy, externalised pretence.  In fact most people are not interested in changing, will choose to avoid looking at themselves at all costs and will continue without conscience to put their own un-faced guilt, pain, anger and fear onto any defenceless and vulnerable target around them, especially onto children.  The worst of all races and religions are unable and/or unwilling to cope with the truth no matter how much damage and distress their behaviour may cause to those around them.  It is therefore a total waste of time and energy doing anything more but telling them the truth, warning them as to the horrible inevitable consequences of their misconduct, praying for them and then leaving them in GOD’s hands - anything further is indeed “casting your pearls before swine"!  They will then blessedly go to live somewhere artificial, ugly, harsh, polluted, squalid and unfit for real adults, like modern cities, just as they thoroughly deserve, where they can continue their miserable, pointless and impoverished existences.  In this way the best people throughout the world could together without violence change the structure of global society remarkably and irreversibly in only a few decades, a long overdue revolution within their own lifetime.  This is the earnest expectation of any decent, fair, brave and reasonable human being and is what any real man, father, husband and true Christian Minister could ever want, what he prays and works for.

 

(2) The Violence of Inaction & Disinterest – The Media

 

To: The Australian Media (Written in 1988)

 

In common with the media elsewhere in the world, you do not do what you are legally and morally obliged to do - inform, amuse, instruct, inspire, publicise, uncover and simplify.  Rather you deliberately fabricate, confuse, mislead, misinform, complicate, gloss over, superficialise and fantasise about the reality of events in this country and elsewhere in the world.  Despite being privy to an enormous amount of privileged "inside" information which vitally needs to be published and broadcast in the public interest, you choose to censor, filter and with-hold this to suit your own unresolved emotional agendas.  You use the restrictive, unjust and unfair libel laws to justify your approach when these merely provide you with a convenient excuse and cover for your essential cowardice, selfishness and lack of integrity.  In fact you enjoy not being able to tell the truth directly, honestly and fully because to do so would force you to face the truth about your own childhoods, your own awful parents, your own insane culture and so grow up.  Anyone with any real concern for truth and decency in your ranks would at very least tell their peers and superiors how they felt about the present situation and resign, the only honourable course of action.

 

None of you really work or make any tangible contribution to this world, you just make money and waste huge quantities of needed resources in the process.  The very people who employ you and pay your salaries are no different in kind to the public figures you make fun of, criticise and put down behind their backs - in truth the more senior the position occupied in all organisations today (especially the established churches), the greater is the corruption, the culpability and the extent to which evil literally dominates the daily existence of those in power.  Those at the highest levels are totally without conscience and are motivated entirely by a desperate desire to avoid growing up, to evade real responsibilities as adults, spouses and parents, to off-load guilt, to focus against others the un-faced pain, anger and fear in their own lives, to interfere in, intrude upon and cause trouble for those unfortunate enough to be under their control and finally, to affect a superficial and external pretence of concern.  They blindly pursue self-interest and an insecure and infantile obsession with the worst "drugs" of our culture - fame, approval, power, "winning" and the accumulation of money and material possessions.

 

All these people are the real vermin, pests and parasites of this country who are only content when they are destroying, defacing, polluting, spoiling, regulating, controlling, locking up, making artificial, deceiving, scheming, conspiring and colluding.  Individually and collectively the destruction they cause to their own families and children, to other people and to the whole of Australia can only be honestly termed an atrocity yet these are the very people you, the media grovel to, fawn over and abase yourselves in front of.  You even allow them the opportunity to publicly abuse you, threaten you and ridicule you and to covertly cause trouble for you with your own employers!  Instead of admonishing or rebuking them openly, you indulge them shamefully by asking incessant questions to which you already know the answers and by providing them with a forum from which to air their lies, half-truths, distortions of reality, baseless excuses and platitudinous self-justifications.  What they need is to be told the truth on or off camera and then ignored - all their threats to deny you access or interviews are just bluff because they crave attention - all you need is the loyalty to stick together.

 

Despite knowing so many incriminating details about their sinister activities, you continuously support them with coverage and give them the opportunity to air their valueless opinions whilst denying this to anyone who can clearly, accurately, honestly, specifically, rationally and believably give evidence about their blatant and general corruption.  In action therefore you must be just as selfish, just as greedy, just as dishonest, just as lacking in decency, just as unprincipled, just as essentially corrupt and just as hypocritical and you are legally and morally accessories before and after the fact to all their crimes.

 

Not one Supreme Court justice, judge, magistrate, policeman, politician, senior public servant, prison official, justice department lawyer, government medical officer, psychiatrist, nurse or children's services administrator in the entire country can be trusted to literally respect and obey the law themselves, to fully discharge their paid responsibilities, to resist and report improper influences and directives, to tell the truth under oath, to not be violent or use excessive force (and only when absolutely necessary for restraint purposes) and to treat all members of the public directly, courteously, justly, fairly and legally irrespective of their appearance, beliefs, financial position, employment, age, race and relative importance in the community.  Not one!!  Whether this is the situation outside of Australia is completely irrelevant to what needs to be done here and now.  The very "best" of these individuals choose to ignore the obvious corruption of many of their colleagues and superiors and fail to report this openly - the worst are completely implicated and involved themselves.

 

Bjelke-Petersen, Lyons, Ahern, Lane, Hinze, Gunn, Lewis, Redmond and all the other ministers of the crown, senior police and public servants in Queensland epitomise all that is indecent, obscene, gluttonous, sexually perverted, depraved, alcoholic, fraudulent, extortionate, dishonest, untrustworthy, spiritually bankrupt and self-righteous about this country and if full details of all their activities were made known, any decent Australian would be horrified, disgusted, appalled and infuriated.  Under this regime whose racial and racist origins and bias can be traced to and compared with the Nazis of Germany and the present government of South Africa, people have been murdered, raped, abducted, tortured, sadistically brutalised and beaten, violated, threatened, intimidated, unlawfully arrested, illegally imprisoned, libelled and discredited.  The only developed ‘aptitude’ of these vagrants and bludgers is their ability to act like little innocent and dopey boys (especially the Catholics), to avoid specific and direct answers to important questions by introducing obscure irrelevancies, to covertly obstruct any examination of their behaviour, to misuse and abuse their entrusted power and to fabricate fantasies to justify their inexcusable improprieties.  They have absolutely no respect at all for human life (except their own) and many are unrepentant killers from previous wars.  When cornered or near exposure, they vindictively and spitefully turn on their accusers like "mad dogs" and try to off-load their guilt and take the focus from their own activities by changing the subject, by refusing to answer and by talking about other states, other governments or other people.  These deliberate evasive ploys are so obvious and easy to cut through by even the most inexperienced and amateurish interviewer yet the media has allowed, and by default supported, such indirect and blatant dishonesty for years.

 

What a damning condemnation of your own lack of integrity and conscience, your own cowardice, your own incompetence and ineffectuality is the continued survival of the National Party government in Queensland (and the equally corrupt and negligent opposition).  Any really honest person would have refused to even vote under such an unfair gerrymander let alone where tampering with ballot boxes and voting procedures has so obviously occurred in key electorates during close elections.  All the media has done is aggravate the situation and in many ways your disinterested voyeurism is even more disgraceful because you have avoided any public commitment or stand yourselves.  By pretending to be unbiased and impartial you have allowed an enormous amount of unacknowledged flagrant prejudice and gross misrepresentation of the facts.

 

The least important and least damaging aspect of corruption in Queensland (and throughout the rest of Australia) relates to financial impropriety - bribery, misappropriation and misuse of public funds.  Despite this the Fitzgerald Inquiry has largely confined its examination to these relatively minor considerations, faithfully mirroring the general preoccupation and obsession with money evident in society at large.  Although this has produced sensational revelations, none unexpected or unanticipated, these have so far only served to distract public attention from the real criminality in the state of Queensland (and elsewhere in the country) and only a small fraction of all those involved have and will be named.  It is certainly appropriate to have considerable well-founded reservations about this inquiry - the original terms of reference were ridiculously narrow and selective, confined to investigating the seedier fringe elements of society where everyone already knows or at least suspects there is unlawful behaviour.  Typically those who gave evidence were hardly credible witnesses - pimps, prostitutes, politicians, police, drug addicts and dealers, gamblers and petty criminals.  From these simplistic beginnings, the inquiry has proliferated into a chaotic and confused nightmare, well beyond the capacity, experience and expertise of those responsible.  What began as a superficial exercise to buy off guilt, buy time and take the focus off the real issues has now tainted so many people in positions of importance and authority that only mass dismissals, resignations and prosecutions could ever remedy the situation and restore any semblance of credibility, respect and trust.

 

It is absolutely hopeless to rely on a fairly small spirited person like Tony Fitzgerald, well beyond his level of competence, capabilities, strength of spirit and understanding, to cope with such far reaching and significant events.  Any lawyer in particular will find it impossible to openly consider the issues outside the severely limited constraints of a typical narrow, artificial, fundamentally unjust and unreal legalistic perspective - corruption is essentially nothing to do with the law just as the law has nothing to do with justice.  Tony Fitzgerald has clearly demonstrated in the appointment of a female assistant that he cannot handle the immense amount of fear brought to the surface by the astonishing implications of his work.  He has effectively reached out completely inappropriately for a surrogate "mother" to make him feel safe rather than admit that he is "out of his depth" and needs the support of several courageous, strong spirited, wise men to deal with all that has been revealed.  In fact an articulate but unqualified labourer, a young unaddicted unemployed young man, a slim, clean and healthy aboriginal male and a mixed class of primary and secondary students could realistically be expected to do a much better job than all the Queen's Counsels in the state without any of their bias, pompous arrogance, extortionate fees and preoccupation with ritual.

 

Anyone with an open heart knows the truth and knows who is lying and the ridiculous preoccupation with proving guilt in this instance is only a waste of time and money and an enormous indulgence.  Not so long ago even the hint or possibility of such impropriety as so clearly exists in Queensland right now would have resulted in the voluntary resignations of those implicated and brought down the government years ago.  This is only one indication of how much morality has deteriorated in Queensland and in the rest of Australia this century.

 

I have written to and warned thousands of individuals in power in Queensland and throughout Australia including those blasphemous heathens fraudulently posing as Christians in all the established churches.  They all realise the efficacy and validity of my Ministry and despite their arrogant bravado and foolish posturing in public, they are terrified at what is happening now within themselves.  Most now at least privately acknowledge that something is happening in this country they desperately wish would go away.  All I have predicted has and is coming to pass and this is only a modest beginning.

 

Until my sons Elijah, Saul and Joshua are returned to our exemplary and lawful care, released from the criminal neglect, deprivation and abuse of the Queensland Department of Children's Services, together with appropriate compensation ($25,000,000 would be a good starting figure for all we have endured), all those responsible as well as the whole country (especially the state of Queensland) can expect a rapid proliferation of extraordinary and obvious afflictions.  No-one in Australia over the age of eighteen years is completely free from responsibility in this shabby and disgraceful affair.  It is time to teach you all a long overdue lesson and you will soon see who is really sane, who is really GOD fearing, who obeys the law, who cares for their children and who speaks the truth without fear or favour.

 

 

 Faithfully,

3) Australia Day & Local 'Heroes'                      (Written 2007 - Updated 2008)

 

I began to write this at the time of the untimely death of '60 Minutes' reporter Richard Carleton which coincidentally occurred about the same time as the 10th anniversary of the Port Arthur massacre. However my wife Mary and I went to South Africa in 2006 where we spent 6 months before my (requested) deportation back to Australia so I did not finish this until early 2007.

 

The contempt, disgust and outrage I feel about the Australia society and most of its citizen savages has not diminished with my visit to Africa but rather deepened and intensified. In fact the average black African who has so little and who often lives in great privation and squalor, with their love of singing and dancing, enthusiasm for life and cooperative, friendly and welcoming spirit, makes most Australians look decidedly 5th rate by comparison!

 

What on earth have Australians got to celebrate on Australia Day?!

 

Perhaps it is:

 

1) The unrestrained gluttony of about 90% of Australia's increasingly obese (soon to be immense), sedentary and self-indulgent population, now the fattest, laziest and greediest in the world, with their generally appalling standards of self-awareness and self-care. Most Australians sit too much, talk too much, read too much, watch far too much TV and sport, spend far too much time in front of computers and eat 2-3 times and drink 10-20 times as much as they generously need - this is food and drink which are effectively stolen from the mouths of babies and children dying of starvation and thirst elsewhere on the planet.

 

2) The abysmal standard of parenting in this country where child deprivation, neglect, invalidation and abuse are the 'norm', not the exception. The unbelievably ignorant 'usual' approach to fathering and mothering in this country is responsible for most of the problems facing Australian society today.

For example, force-feeding babies and infants just to keep them quiet conditions them later to live in emotional denial misusing food and drink to avoid acknowledging and dealing with how they really feel. This is the root cause of obesity, alcoholism, drug abuse, so much preventable sickness and disease, confusion, crime and violence of all kinds.

Selfishly wheeling babies around in strollers while they fall asleep instead of putting them to sleep “in arms” (or lying them down to sleep in peace and quiet) conditions them as adults to drive when tired with the consequent road deaths and injuries. Misusing strollers to wheel around small children who should be walking conditions them as adults to sit, never walk and always use cars to get around.

Teaching children in the worst possible place, sitting indoors, in the worst possible way, out of books, indoctrinates them so that as adults they will ‘choose’ to waste their lives in unhealthy, meaningless, unfulfilling, indoors jobs as obedient and compliant slaves to the industrial/commercial complex for the selfish, avaricious convenience of the unprincipled megalomaniac scoundrels who run modern societies.

 

See “To Men/Women Everywhere” on www.geocities.com/michael_the_one

 

3) The inexcusably poor standards of simple cleanliness, tidiness, order and hygiene in the average home. Mothers today do almost nothing and many Australian homes are unfit for children and a decided health hazard, something which is itself responsible for so much easily preventable sickness and disease.

 

4) The vulgar, loud-mouthed, foul-mouthed, hard, violent, cowardly and immature true nature of the majority of Australia's inhabitants who live, dress, eat, wear their hair and behave like real savages and/or derelicts. Most are so emotionally crippled and retarded that they cannot cope with how they really feel or with reality, they live in desperate emotional denial, are completely dedicated to hedonistic, escapist fantasy and are addicted to and severely reliant upon alcohol, nicotine and prescription and/or illegal drugs.

 

In fact underneath the entirely false and deceitful external pretence of being casual, 'easy-going', 'laid-back' and friendly, is an enormous amount of cowardly abdication and cruel evasion of responsibilities, a refusal to grow up and be adults and an avoidance of doing what is fair, just, decent, courageous and compassionate in global terms. In fact most Australians have no conscience whatsoever and don't care providing nothing impinges on the selfish, boring banality of their meaningless, monochromatic lives totally lacking in any real richness or quality - and the worst thing is that they are so arrogant that they don't want to know or learn anything different.

 

5) The widespread greed, duplication, hoarding and unconscionable waste in this country, especially the obscene amounts of money and other resources squandered on the considerably less than essential domestic pets (a form of emotional bestiality), on Australia's reprehensibly childish obsession with infantile ball sports, on other worthless competitive conquests of no absolute consequence and on their stupid, pointless, expensive, irrelevant hobbies. The worst offenders in this regard are the elderly.

 

6) The incredible selfishness, misguided meanness, criminal negligence, cruel, disinterested voyeurism and minimal tokenism of Australia's approach and commitment to its local & overseas responsibilities despite the (unearned and undeserved) privilege and comparative wealth so many Australians enjoy. This country of global parasites and murderers steals about a thousand times what it fairly needs of global resources and contributes a tiny fraction of what it could and should be giving, sharing and doing for those in genuine need all over the planet, starting with the 30,000 + homeless children & youth here in this country!

Generally speaking, like most wealthy western nations in the developed world, Australians do what they want to do (and avoid doing what they don't want to do), what they can afford to do, what they can get away with doing (and not doing), what they feel like doing (and not doing) . . . Never what they need to do (and not do), what they should be doing and what is right to do (and not do) in absolute terms.

 

7) The violence and true terrorism of Australia’s foreign policy with its unquestioned alignment with and support for a series of literally evil USA governments and administrations over the past 60 years.

 

See “Terrorism” on www.geocities.com/michael_the_one

 

8) Australia's unrestrained, reckless, destructive environmental vandalism and pathetic, superficial pretence of conservation and environmental restoration. Driven by expedient self-interest and avarice Australia is the worst per capita polluter in the world today in terms of greenhouse gases. Now there's something to celebrate - why don't we pollute the atmosphere even further by letting off a few million dollars more of fireworks while a baby dies somewhere in the world every 3 seconds for the want of so little! Australia, like all the first world countries, has innocent blood all over its hands and will be held accountable!!!

 

9) The glorification of war by so many of the population. War is always inexcusable, preventable, dishonourable, inglorious, ignominious and cowardly and only selfish, stupid, violent, misguided, manipulated, deceived, naïve people cause, wage, fund or support wars in any way. Gallipoli is a perfect example of the expedient fantasies created to disguise the truth and justify war by people desperate to avoid facing the obscene waste of men’s lives there in achieving absolutely nothing. It would have been far more courageous to surrender to the Turks and endure imprisonment until liberation, returning alive to their parents, wives, siblings and children!!

 

See www.geocities.com/michael_the_one/violence

 

10) Despite its multi-cultural pretence, Australia is really a country of many different races which most often live in separated mono-racial ghettos or enclaves speaking their own language with little assimilation. So many Australians were and still are contemptible, arrogant, bigoted, racist morons with absolutely no culture, imagination or sensitivity, intolerant of anything different. In effect they are exactly the same as their horrible, guilty, boring fathers and mothers before them who were appalling hosts, who criticised and insulted the "New Australian" immigrants in the 1950's by calling them “Dagos”, “Wogs”, “Ities” etc, by making fun of them for their accents and for using olive oil, sun-dried tomatoes and fetta cheese, for eating Mediterranean food and drinking wine. Australians also found it strange and ‘funny’ that they grew their own fruit and vegetables in their suburban gardens where they loved to feast, sing and dance together as families and communities, choosing to avoid frequenting the male-only, tiled, sterile monstrosities that were Australian hotels then.

Look who’s laughing now but where is the apology?!!! Instead of acknowledging how incredibly narrow, boring and uninteresting Australia was – the sum total of the Australian culture before the 1960’s was meat pies, football, cricket and beer – and welcoming in the new arrivals as guests like gracious hosts saying “What do you need and what can we learn from you”, they treated them like dirt. All due to our guilt & insecurity!

The next victims of this unchristian boorishness and racist violence were the Vietnamese whom we reluctantly allowed in, again out of guilt after helping the Americans lay waste their country based of some insane incipient paranoia about the “red peril”. It is comforting to know that Bob Menzies and his cronies are all ablaze like napalm victims in Hell forever!!! Nothing has really changed and now we are tormenting and demonising the Sudanese!

See the section on racism on www.geocities.com/michael_the_one/violence

Most of the children of these earlier immigrants today aggressively deny and repudiate their lovely, centuries-old heritage and claim only to be “Australians” after seeing how their parents were mistreated and after experiencing the taunts and other violence both socially and at school. What a tragedy!

 

11) The unbelievable spiritual ignorance, lack of awareness and religious hypocrisy, pretence, superficiality and dishonesty of most Australians and the almost total absence of any genuine dedication to loving, serving, obeying and fearing a GOD of LOVE. The scandalous waste, self-indulgent extravagance and essential wickedness of that Catholic Circus and Funfair known as the 2008 World Youth Day with the heathen heretic and idolatrous ringmaster Benedict is an excellent example of such pointless folly.

See “Christianity & the Churches” on the web site www.geocities.com/michael_the_one

 

12) Its indolent, self-centred, decadent and completely corrupt federal and state parliaments, governments, public services and systems of health, education and criminal justice.

 

Perhaps another cause for celebration was that international embarrassment of an ex-Prime Minister, the physical, emotional and spiritual dwarf John Howard, who someone once described as dull and boring - in my opinion that was a distinct compliment. Or perhaps it was/is his crooked cronies in crime, all the state Premiers/Chief Ministers. And now we have Mr Goody-goody Richie Rich Kevin Rudd with his mean, purse string mouth and maiden-aunt behaviour whose entire conversation is composed of colloquial idioms. Kev seems incapable of speaking English but yes, we all have our “noses to the grindstone”, “shoulders to the wheel”, “up-downing the tax system”. But no, Kev, we are certainly not “all on the same page”, “looking for a level playing field” and we do “have a plan B” and “a blank cheque” to pay for it!

The late Richard Carlton, Peter Brock and Steve Irwin epitomise exactly what is fundamentally wrong with this country today. All were useless, ineffectual, abdicated and physically absent, emotionally disabled and behaviourally retarded aged boys who refused to grow up. They were also enormous hypocrites, abject failures as men, fathers and husbands and real users of woman and children. None really listened to, supported, gave an adult example to, told the truth to nor set limits for their wives, mothers, sisters, aunts, grandmothers, female colleagues etc.. and like so many Australian males they were obsessed with the relentless pursuit of the worst 'drugs' in our society - fame, money, power and the accumulation of possessions.

 

All failed to see through the most obvious laziness, selfishness, duplicity, deceit, dishonesty, game playing, trouble making, irresponsibility and selfishness of most of the females around them. In the media, for example, there is Tracy Grimshaw who was actually pleased and relieved when Richard Carlton died, the demise of yet another male like the abusive father she actually hates. Then there is Melissa Doyle, a tiny spirited irrelevancy, congenital liar and really nasty piece of work who claims to put her children first whilst leaving home at 4.00am, being absent at various locations all over the country and then asleep before 7.00pm. In a permanent state of evasion she delegates all her principal responsibilities as a woman, wife and mother to a stranger, a nanny who is not even a relative, an increasingly common scenario today. Where is her mother and mother-in-law - probably playing bowls or golf or some other undeserved, selfish, childish distraction, having coffee or incessantly sitting and talking about nothing of importance?

 

I first met Richard Carleton over 40 years ago at university when I volunteered to help on the UNSW student paper "Tharunka" - he and Alan Hogan had just been jointly appointed as editors. I later met him again at Parliament House in Canberra in 1982 when my wife Mary and I were trying to get justice in our (ongoing) dispute with the completely corrupt Bjelke-Petersen Queensland government. Incidentally that violent crook Johannes Bjelke-Petersen was another person I repeatedly warned in the 80's and 90's. His last 15 years were so deservedly a living nightmare and he died in agony with Hell for Eternity his only reasonable expectation.

Richard Carleton was a typical example of all that I detest about the media, an arrogant, hard, sarcastic, guilty bully, cruel, voyeuristic deviate and intellectual snob who was difficult to deal with except on a very basic and superficial level. He was once a good looking but very ordinary Australian male who despite his physical size (which he misused to intimidate people) was a fairly small spirited little man. He had everyone bluffed, especially women, to whom he shamelessly and obsequiously pandered, flattered and pretended to like.

 

I was not at all surprised to learn about his first heart attack which was an inevitability because he chose to resolutely repress a huge backlog of past and present anger, pain and fear. Clearly Dick Carleton faced none of his childhood issues (see "To Men Everywhere" also on the web site) and he was a real con man and pretender who never even began to "cut through his own crap", to use Tracy Grimshaw's 'delightful' expression.

 

After his by-pass surgery I wrote to him, warning him again that at most he would have no more than 10 years to live unless he changed. Predictably he ignored this, the last 10 years of his life were a nightmare, he continued to live in hard-hearted emotional denial and ended up looking like a tormented toad before finally becoming a rich, famous but impotent corpse whose spirit has also gone to hell for Eternity!

 

Not very bright and not very intelligent!! Will his numerous colleagues look, listen and learn? I doubt it!

 

Steve Irwin was in turn a hyperactive, demanding, attention seeking delinquent who was as annoying and exhausting in person as he was on TV. He NEVER put his family first, lived off his wife and children mercilessly and his life and relationships were destroyed because he was a true escapist coward who desperately avoided confronting his unresolved issues and repressed emotional agenda that were an obvious legacy of his relationship with his horrible father. As a consequence he ended up one generation worse.

 

Mary & I both wrote to him early in 2006 giving him an explicit warning which he obviously ignored - his death was so obviously an act of GOOD.

 

Despite the apparent, superficial glamour, excitement, extensive travel and undeserved wealth, fame and power this terrible trio apparently enjoyed, they all endured a very monochromatic, artificial, unreal and insulated existence obsessed with trivialities, the bizarre and the sensational. Driven by remorseless guilt and an insecure craving for attention, they all recklessly endangered their personal safety, choosing to be involved in dangerous occupations and lifestyles totally unfit and unsuitable for any responsible married man who really loved his wife and children.

 

Wrestling dangerous wildlife, driving race/rally cars or being a 60 Minutes reporter are jobs for single men with no dependants and no relationship commitments!

 

Despite their outward pretence, these 3 un-grown males were really passionate about nothing and were selfish, escapist cowards desperately determined to misuse their employment as a contrived distraction from reality and as an excuse to evade their primary responsibilities as men, fathers & husbands. They were certainly NOT fearless but were all running away from themselves and their own feelings, going anywhere and everywhere but not staying close and accessible to their families where they were needed every day and supposed to be.

 

Typical of the media all over the globe, Richard Carlton was not interested in telling the real truth about the situation HERE in his own country and my report on the Australian media originally written in the middle 1980's was/is exactly true of his life and work.

 

See Section (E) above on http://www.geocities.com/michael_the_one/violence.html

 

Steve Irwin was not a warrior of any kind; he was an environmental parasite, menace and vandal whose commitment to conservation was only empty words and pretence. In fact to make money and to be the centre of attention, he sensationally interfered with dangerous creatures that should be treated with respect, left alone and avoided whenever and wherever possible.

 

Peter Brock was a dangerous and reckless driver who entertained other aged, emotional delinquents with car racing, a truly indefensible and asinine, wasteful indulgence.

 

They all died 'on the job', away from their families - and "where your treasure is, there will your heart be also" (Luke 12:34).

 

My wife Mary was in that institution of infamy Risdon Prison in Hobart Tasmania for 3 months in late 2005, several days of which she amazingly and bizarrely spent in a hospital cell directly opposite Martin Bryant, Australia's worst convicted serial killer. He has deteriorated enormously in the past 10 years and Mary was appalled at his emotional state and the cruelty and violence focused at him by his 'minders'. Misused as a laboratory specimen in a science experiment by health and mental health 'professionals' and an object of curiosity and derision by prison staff who are guilty of serious violence themselves, he is tormented every single day.

 

To quote from a report I wrote about violence for a Royal Commission about 20 years ago:

 

"Violence is not therefore an irrational, illogical or unpredictable response which simply occurs randomly by chance nor is it the result of a sick, diseased or criminal personality or mind - the mind is where we think, not feel, and only robotic people totally shut-off to their true feelings and unaware of their real essence could ever believe that our thoughts represent who we are.

 

Violence is an understandable and in some cases reasonable and fully justified (though most often misdirected), learned response to the original violence imposed upon and directed against the person themselves.  A good example of this is the case of Julian Knight who randomly shot people in Hoddle Street, Melbourne, Australia - much of the responsibility for what Knight did is clearly his father's, his mother's and certainly all those directly and indirectly involved in his horrific experiences in the army.  Despite this he was unfairly and inappropriately made to bear the full burden of guilt and has effectively been made an expedient 'scapegoat'.  His subsequent treatment and prison sentence completely lack any compassion or understanding and virtually preclude any hope of his rehabilitation.

 

No-one can feel genuine remorse when they have been unfairly victimised all their lives nor is it reasonable to expect them to do so!" See “Violence” on my web site:

The media then, just as now, do not wish to look at the true causal reasons for the Port Arthur massacre (nor for all other serious violence in society) and so have no true 'raison d'etre', no reason for existing. They are all with few exceptions just more feckless freeloaders living off the unrelieved suffering of others, part of the problem, not part of the solution.

 

Finally, all recipients of this e-mail need to very carefully read the document "Christianity & the Churches" on the same web site and take the WARNING in this both personally and seriously.

 

 

Faithfully,
