The Howard government “intervention” into the Northern Territory, with the full support of the ALP, is being carried out on behalf of the British Crown and its minerals cartel, led by BHP Billiton, Rio Tinto, and Anglo American/De Beers, the number one, number two and number three largest mineral companies in the world, who intend to seize some of the world’s largest mineral deposits, particularly of uranium, which lie on Aboriginal land. Under cover of a transparently fraudulent concern about the sexual abuse of children, Howard plans to sweep Aboriginal people off their land, so that the Crown’s mining cartel can grab riches worth hundreds of billions of dollars, avoiding negotiations (which are already holding up tens of billions in new projects) and the payment of huge royalties to Aboriginal people.
All of the chief points of this intervention were planned out years, even a decade ago, including: abolition of the permit system to enter Aboriginal land; the establishment of “property rights” through 99-year leases; and the excuse of “sexual abuse” itself. These are being suddenly rammed through now because of the onset of the worst global financial crash in history, comparable only to the Dark Age of 14th Century Europe, when the collapse of the usurious, Venetian- controlled international monetary system resulted in the deaths of one-third to one-half of the population of Europe.
Nor is this assault by the British Crown-centred financial oligarchy confined to attacks on Aboriginal people: Australian farmers, our “White Aborigines”, are being wiped off their land at a breathtaking rate also, so that international food cartels can take control over all agricultural production both in Australia, and worldwide, given that we, along with the Crown colony of Canada, are cornerstones of the international food export business. A reasonable estimate is that 50% of all Australian farmers will be driven from their land within a year or two, given the recent Howard/ALP policy of splitting water from the land. This will drive the price of water through the roof, on top of the refusal of both ALP and Coalition governments to build the great water projects which have been obviously needed for decades, to save our farmers, regional Australia and to ensure the security of our national food supply, as well as to provide sufficient water for our cities. (See p. 3.) Paper money may turn to toilet paper in a financial crash, as it did in 1923 Germany, but whoever controls the physical necessities upon which life depends, such as food, water and raw materials, controls the world.
The Crown and its financial oligarchy have repeatedly stated their intent to commit genocide against entire nations and classes of people, most especially those with non-white skins, in order to drop the world’s population from its present 6.5 billion or so down to 1 billion, or even less. Following the Union victory in 1865 over the British-organised Confederacy in the U.S. Civil War, the “American System” economic methods which President Abraham Lincoln employed to win that war were quickly adopted by Germany, Russia, Japan and other nations, which led to a rapid population growth worldwide. In response, the Anglo-American Establishment founded the “science” of eugenics, which calls for mass population reduction and for “purifying” the human race, in particular to eliminate its non-white components. Eugenics, in turn, gave birth to the “science” of anthropology. Thus, the entire field of anthropology in Australia from its establishment at the University of Sydney in 1926 on, was organised and financed by the leaders of the Anglo-American eugenics movement. The anthropologists created “Aboriginal land rights” in this country on behalf of the Crown and the mining cartels, and virtually all of these anthropologists were eugenicists, whether “liberal” (ostensibly pro-Aborigine), or “right-wing” (anti-Aborigine). As the Citizens Electoral Council charged in our devastating 1997 pamphlet, Aboriginal ‘land rights’: Prince Philip’s racist plot to splinter Australia, “The game is as simple as it is old: vast swaths of the Australian continent are temporarily turned over to Aborigines as ‘reparations’; and then, through various ruses, including a ‘firewater and trinkets’ swap (jazzed up, to allow for inflation) as in the old British and French colonial days in North America, Her Majesty’s mineral cartel winds up with the loot.”
Nation states were founded in the Golden Renaissance of the 15th Century, in order to provide for the Common Good (“Commonwealth”) of all their people, to replace the imperial model of society by which a tiny privileged elite rules a miserable mass of virtual or actual slaves. Since the First Fleet of 1788, we Australians have too often followed British imperial methods in our own affairs, rather than adopting the American-inspired republican ideals of the best of our leaders, such as the Rev. John Dunmore Lang. Following British models, we have often savagely mistreated our citizens of Aboriginal descent, even worse than the slaves of the British-organised American Confederacy. As his main biographer, who is by no means entirely sympathetic to Lang, has written:
“Unlike many of his contemporaries, Lang firmly believed that the Australian Aborigines were just as much human beings as were Europeans. He repeatedly drew attention to the fact, attested by scripture that ‘God hath made all men, everywhere, for to dwell upon the face of the earth.’ Equally frequently he denied what some people affirmed, that the black man of the Australian forests was no better than the organg outang or monkey. Lang, in fact, had a considerable admiration for this free and independent race of black men and women who owed to allegiance to Great Britain but who, most lamentably, were fast disappearing from existence as white men occupied their country and diminished their means of subsistence.”
Lang’s bitter enemy in mid-19th Century Australia was the notorious squatter William C. Wentworth, who proposed that Australia establish a hereditary aristocracy modeled on that of Great Britain. Not surprisingly, his great-grandson, the ostensibly ultra-conservative, red-baiting William C. Wentworth IV, became the first Federal minister for Aboriginal Affairs and helped kick off the Aboriginal “land rights” movement by proposing that the Gurundji people should be given land at Lord Vestey’s Wave Hill station, a campaign organised by the Communist Party of Australia.
Any nation will be judged, and even survive, based on how it treats its most disadvantaged citizens. If we will not, at last, provide true justice for our Aboriginal citizens, then we as a nation will not survive.
