Australian Aboriginal Genocide commenced in 1788 but over 2 centuries later is still being denied by the racist Australian Government which now insists on Australian history in schools.

Within a century of the British Invasion in 1788 the Indigenous (Aboriginal) Australian population had been reduced from about 1 million to 0.1 million by a combination of introduced disease, dispossession and violent genocide (including the total extermination of "full-blood" Tasmanian Aborirgines). The genocide continued in the 20th century: the last massacres of Aborigines occurred in the 1920s; tens of thousands of Children - the Stolen Generations - were forcibly removed from their Mothers up until the 1970s; Aboriginal Australians were not even counted as citizens and effectively could not vote until after 1967. After effective citizenship was granted, Indigenous Australians became more publicly vocal over issues of land rights, civil rights, horrendously disproportionate Aboriginal Deaths in Custody and the racist Child Removal policies.

However the racist White Australian Government refuses to say "sorry" for past or present wrongs (despite huge "Sorry Day" demonstrations by decent White Australians), supports a "pro-White" , white-washing, revisionist view of Australian History, is winding back Land Rights legislation, refuses to deal appropriately with horrendous Third World Aboriginal iving conditions in one of the richest countries in the world, and now wants compulsory Australian History taught in our High Schools. While the Government declares that they do not want to control "content" their White-oriented Nationalist agenda is absolutely clear to Blind Freddy.

Of course it is not only the Aboriginal Genocide that is being "white-washed" by neo-conservative Bush-ites in Australia. Thus the racist White Australia Policy (1901-1973) has been replaced by similarly "secret" entry visa restrictions that distinguish between "Whites" (Americans, Canadians, Metropolitant Brits, Western Europeans and some rich "Honorary Whites") ("please fill out Form 48") and "The Rest" (Form 48R, "R for Racism"); the "annual death rate" of Australian Aborigines is 2.2% (2.4% in the Northern Territory) as compared to 2.5% for SHEEP in Australian paddocks and 0.7% for White Australians.

There is a long list of dirty Australian "secrets" kept firmly under wraps by lying, racist academics, journalists and politicians - not least the horrendous, Nazi-style diminution of Australian human and civil rights as a result of US-Israeli Terrorist (USIST) and racist Zionist suborning of Australian public life - and this is mirrored in similar "lying by omission" in Anglo-Celtic countries (Anglo-Celtia) in general.

The following letter re "Compulsory Lies" was variously sent on Friday 18 August 2006 to Australian Mainstream media, Members of Federal Parliament and Senators, indicating that I would be very grateful if they would disseminate these very serious concerns to their associates and audience. I'm not going to hold my breath.

The letter includes a "QUIZ" about 3 huge "holocausts" with which Australia has been connected as a Military Ally of those primarily responsible.

However White Australia is merely part of the Great Anglo-Celtic Empire (Anglo-Celtia = US, UK, Canada, Australia and, arguably, significantly Polynesian New Zealand; total 2005 population about 416 million) on which the Sun Never Sets and whose racist, lying Anglo-American media and politicians heavily determine global perceptions of reality.

Do the QUIZ yourself and see to what extent YOUR mainstream media, teachers, professors and politicians having been Lying by Omission.

Dear Sir/ Madam/ Mr, Mrs, Ms X or SenatorX.

The Australian Federal Government wants to make Australian history courses compulsory in Junior High School. They go to great pains to say that they don't want the content to be compulsory (see: http://www.abc.net.au/lateline/content/2006/s1717757.htm ) – but the current content is the actual problem. Australians – students, the general public, our Parliaments and even our Courts - are being remorselessly LIED to about History even as it is being made.

We periodically read of the objections of the Chinese, Koreans and others to Japanese "white-washing" of their World War 2 atrocities by presenting "sanitized" History to high school students. Yet as the following 3 examples show (presented as a quiz with the answers with detailed references in the postscript), Australian historians, teachers, academics, politicians and journalists remorselessly LIE about major events in our History to the point of what can only be described as "holocaust denial" – you will be lucky to find a mention of these HUGE events anywhere in our Culture of LIES.

[1]. We all know about the Jewish Holocaust (6 million victims) but what was a man-made process that killed a similar number of people during World War 2 and was due to "our" side? This event killed about 4 million people; caused a 1940s demographic deficit in the victim country of about 10 million; may have been due to a deliberate British "scorched earth policy"; and was associated with large-scale military and civilian sexual abuse of women and girls [1].

[2]. Australia has been involved in all the post-1950 US Asian Wars and about 1,000 Australian soldiers gave their lives in these conflicts. However the most obvious feature of modern high technology US warfare is the minimization of politically-sensitive military casualties at the expense of horrendous "enemy civilian casualties". How many Asians have died avoidably associated with post-1950 US Wars? The answer can be found by going to publicly-accessible UN demographic statistics for the post-1950 period and calculating "avoidable mortality" (excess mortality; deaths that didn't have to happen), which is the difference between the actual deaths in a country and the deaths expected for a peaceful, decently-run country with the same demographics [2].

[3]. According to the Geneva Convention for the Protection of Civilians in Time of War (especially Articles 55 and 56), Occupiers are unequivocally required to keep their Conquered Subjects ALIVE. UNICEF provides annual updates of demographics relating to Children for essentially every country in the world (on the Web, several clicks away). In the Third World, under-5 year old infant deaths are about 90% avoidable and constitute about 0.7 of "avoidable mortality". Australia is part of the Occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan. How many under-5 year old infants die every year, every day, every minute in these US-Coalition-Australian-occupied Territories? [3]

If you would like me to run a daily/weekly snappy 100 word column with ONE such documented example each time for your News medium (suggested titles range from "Truth Uncovered" , "Kick the Ostrich", "1984 Now", "Ignorance is Strength", "Media Lying", "History Watch", "Lying by Omission" to "Lies = State Terrorism") please let me know ASAP.

Or do Australians actually BELIEVE that our Children, students, the general public, our Parliaments and even our Courts should be LIED to in the "National Interest"?

Yours sincerely, Dr Gideon Polya, Melbourne, Victoria 3085.

I'm glad to see you're keeping the pressure on, Gideon. Although it's an uphill battle considering the state of media ownership in Australia, every little bit helps :)

There's an evil tide of jingoistic nationalism sweeping Australia at the moment. And the driving force is the Howard Liberal Party. Australia has always had an uneasy attitude to flags, "patriotism," and so on, but this seems to be changing and the various regulations etc requiring flags (I'll write an article about that shortly) are just a part of it. The revisionist history, as much as it's always been there, is now being actively pushed as another part of it.

To my mind it goes beyond nationalism to militaristic nationalism, and we've seen how disastrous that's been for the US.

Thanks for the article, Gideon.

All this makes my blood boil. I have done a bit of tracking on the mining companies and hired security contractors that all play into the killings and crimes. Sadly the "royal line" rulers have done this everywhere and then rewritten history.

If you haven't ever read Antony Sutton's books on the Skull and Bones and the banking establishment you must. He starts at the Opium Wars and follows the fortunate as slave owners and government officials. It's centered in the US with the Yalie Bonesmen but it sure makes it all fall into a tidy organized crime ring warring for oil and poisoning for profit. Deadly lot of bums.

I was once told that history is written by the winners. This is no exception.

Imagine history as told by Pompeii, Gorbachev, Napoleon, and Hitler. It would be vastly different from the one currently told by Caesar, Reagan, Metternich/Alexander/Wellington/Castlereagh, and FDR.

There is always more to history than meets the eye.

LeonK - I completely agree with your acute observations.

The re-writing of history dates at least to about 1300 BC. Thus the Egyptian Pharoah Ramses II (1301-1234 BC) was stopped by the Hittites at the Battle of Kadesh on the River Orontes in Syria (1296 BC) and barely escaped a catastrophe - however Ramses' Temple Artists subsequently recorded this near-disaster as a great victory. In his book on the discovery of the Hittite Empire, "Narrow Pass, Black Mountain", C.W.Ceram (1955) states:
"Today it is known that these reports inspired by Ramses were shameless falsifications of history. They are the first examples of we have of such rewriting of history."

As for your incisive comment:

"There is always more to history than meets the eye"

there are so many examples in the Bush-Blair-dominated 21st century to pick from.

Probably the most important and lethal example is the extraordinary collapse of the 40 storey WTC7 skyscraper "into its footprint" despite not having been hit by planes or suffered major fires - the much-deceived citizens of America, the World's technology leader for over a century, are still awaiting a sensible technological answer.

"Jane Austen and the Black Hole of British History" (out of print but accessible in the Library of Congress, British Library, Cornell University Library etc) explores the above propositions you have posted and the related proposition of "history ignored yields history repeated". This book and "A Short History of Asia" by Colin Mason simply demonstrate that even a huge mass mortality event such as the Bengal Famine (contemporaneous with and as big as the Jewish Holocaust) can be swept under the carpet by lying academics, politicians and Corporate Mainstream media.

The extraordinary "lying by omission" of academics, politicians and Corporate Mainstream media in our ostensibly "free" Western societies is intrinsically a major violation of "effective free speech" (and hence of the First Amendment and of the much-loved humanitarian and libertarian American tradition).

Indeed that is why Newsvine - a hole in the Wall of Silence - is such a powerful and ethical innovation for people who espouse "effective free speech" in the interests of humanity.

    Richard - thank you for your sensible if succinct comment, to which one must reply: why should scientists (committed to truth, reason and the critical testing of potentially falsifiable hypotheses) leave analysis of global affairs to the lying by omission of politician and corporate media "spin"-merchants? ("Spin" is quintessentially anti-scientific, being the selective use of asserted "facts" to support a partisan position).

    By way of answer, read the detailed analysis of the 9-11 catastrophe by my fellow Australian scientist, Dr Frank Legge: F. Legge "9/11 - Evidence for controlled demolition: a short list of observations", Journal of 9/11 Studies, vol. 2, August 2006, pp 4-15 and F. Legge "9/11 – evidence suggests complicity: inference from actions", Journal of 9/11 Studies, vol. 2, August 2006, pp 16-25 see: http://journalof911studies.com/ ).

    By way of correction to #3.1: WTC7 had 47 stories.

      All hail the mighty racist Australia. The newest and most racist country in the new millineum.
