HIJACKED
This year's Australian Day celebrations have been hijacked by the whitewash
brigade. The Australian Day long weekend was liberally doused with bucket
loads of historical whitewash by a significant proportion of the corporate
owned mass media and the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. It seems that
the historical revisionism that has been the central feature of the
ideologically driven ultra conservative Quadrant editorial group, has found
favour in a mass media that appears to have put its critical facilities in
a cryogenic chamber.
Since the High Court of Australia gave rights to indigenous Australian's in
law to land on the 3rd of June 1992 (Mabo Day), those elements in society
that had denied them justice for 204 years, formed a conservative political
coalition to continue to deny them these rights. This denial of justice has
been achieved through the passage of Federal legislation that destroyed
both, the meaning and the spirit of the Mabo decision.
This strategy of denial has led to the denigration of the work of those
historians who brought the cultural linguistic and physical dispossession
of indigenous Australian's to the attention of a public whose opinions
about them has been moulded by a two hundred and twenty five year denial of
historical reality. The current attempts to whitewash this country's
history on Australia Day reinforces the grotesque caricatures that are
re-emerging in the international community about us as a Nation and a people.
A Nation that denies its history, especially on its National Day is a
Nation that is destined to repeat the mistakes of the past. Allowing those
who advocate a whitewash view of history to dominate political debate on
this countries National day, is tantamount to accepting David Irving's
opinions about the holocaust as historical reality.
OIL LIBERATION FRONT
Iım proud to be a member of the Oil Liberation Front, an international
coalition of crusaders who are willing to spill blood to liberate every
milli-litre of oil held by the forces of darkness the axis of evil. As the
self appointed guardians of goodness, democracy and neo-liberalism, itıs
our sacred duty to conduct jihad to protect our way of life from those who
envy us.
No sacrifice is too much, as a stay at home patriot, Iım willing to
sacrifice the lives of our young men and women to conduct this holy war
against the sons and daughters of the empire of evil. We must remember war
is the lifeblood of the nation, without war there will not be economic
recovery. Those bleeding heart fifth columnists within our midst need to
understand that oil too has feelings. For generations, the axis of evil has
kept billions of litres of oil imprisoned in dark dungeons deep in the desert.
It is our duty as the representatives of civilisation on this planet, to
liberate these vast legions from the tyranny of those barbarians who refuse
to extend even the most basic human rights to our oily brothers and
sisters. The doors to their desert detention centres need to be broken
down, oil must be liberated irrespective of the loss of human life.
As God is on our side, we have every right to use the weapons of mass
destruction that God has given us, to destroy the spawn of the axis of
evil. The oil that we liberate will be transported to our shores and be
assimilated into our society. We need to remember that without access to
vast quantities of foreign oil, the engines that sustain our way of life
would soon grind to a halt.
As a member of the Oil Liberation Front, I need to ask myself, not what
will the State and its corporate allies do for me but what sacrifices do I
need to make to liberate those vast reserves oil that are so critical to
maintain our way of life. A way of life that recognises that those who are
ruled need to make sacrifices to maintain those who rule in the lifestyle
they are accustomed to.
