ABORIGINALITY IS NOT UNIQUE TO AUSTRALIA
Most countries and places in the world had some form of inhabitants before another group or groups moved into that same area and took up home there.
If the whole world was to bow to the calls of those claiming, “we were first here so therefore everything belongs to us”, it would be in more of a mess than it is already.
There is no argument that some movement of groups into another location or country has not been brutal and has been utterly and totally uncaring of those inhabitants already in that place or country. There has been carnage, debauchery and some genocide by the incoming group but also on the part of those defending their turf.
To look back into ancient history, the stories of this are almost the only stories that have been told, recorded and retold over the thousands of years since the first activities of this kind.
There is no doubt that many of these excursions into and take overs of another groups turf were well planned, well prepared for with the raising of great armies and strategically carried out.
Also there would have been a list of outcomes drawn up that were required to be achieved.
Mainly of course 1) Defeat the inhabitants and take over their land, 2) Spare the women and children, 3) Take the male fighters prisoners.
However failing all these, just slaughter as necessary to achieve the takeover of the land.
Now come forward into more recent history and the era of colonisation of countries by established European countries and there is an entirely different set of reasons.
Each of these European countries was setting out to discover what other lands there were out there in the great vastness of the oceans.
That was the only reason that so many incredibly courageous Explorers and Adventurers set to sea and started recording and mapping the lands they came across.
Once lands and peoples on these lands were discovered the next thing to advance was the possibility of trading with these people.
This was the entire basis of how and why European countries became colonisers of many countries.
However this was not the case with Australia as there was no opportunity for trade, being that the inhabitants were not advanced in anyway and therefore did not have things to trade or even understand trading in any way. The inhabitants had nothing to show for their suggested 60,000 year span of residence in this land. There was no parallel to any other time or race in almost every other part of world at that time. The inhabitants did not have things like spices, yarn, commodities and the like that were what the Europeans were after.
So why the English first came to Australia was nothing to do with a planned takeover of the land but merely to establish some penial outposts for their burgeoning prison population.
Once this had taken place the need for farmers and the like to feed the prisoners and soldiers was needed. As a result tradesmen and farmers in England were encouraged to bring their families and settle in and develop this land.
At this point it is clear that England had become a coloniser of Australia.
But please note if you will England never came to colonise Australia, it just evolved that way.
More importantly though, please remember England did come here with a strategically planned agenda to take over Australia at all cost, to the detriment of any existing inhabitants and there way of life.
At this very moment there are many situations around the world that are exactly carrying out this process but in a far more sinister and evil way.
China is imprisoning the Uyghurs population into concentration camps, using them as slave labour and carry out genocide. The Uyghurs and others such as Falun Gong members are being disappeared and their organs harvested and used in Surgical Health outcomes for members of the CCP.
Indonesian is conducting its takeover of West Papua in a very similar and brutal fashion, breaking every human rights charter as they proceed…
Russia has invaded the Ukraine and is deliberately and continuously targeting the civilians population included mass executions of women and children.
These are examples of an aggressor or INVADER who does not just want the LAND but wants the existing inhabitants to bow to their dominance, control and obedience.
Across the early years there have been some very bad things that have happened to the indigenous inhabitants of Australia, some of which have been cruel and unjust. That can never be changed and that unfortunately is what is called history.
There are similar lager and smaller accounts all over the world and all of which is history.
History can never change. It is what took place to all of our kinfolk in the past no matter what your colour, creed, language or way of life.
What took place in history, was encountered and endured by our fore folk, not us, we have our own history and it is being written as we live and conduct ourselves right now.
It is not the right of any of us to claim injury and injustice at this present time using the things of our fore folk’s history as the tools of our argument.
There would be few people in the world that would not have something in the past history of their ancestors that they could hang their hat on and say, “I’m being injured or having unjust things happen to me because of what my ancestors went through.”
With that attitude every Australian and English person who had ancestors in the past two world wars would still hate and be in conflicted with Germany, Japan and other countries we have similar history with.
The sun rises and sets every day and as it does each day past becomes history. Anything that took place yesterday that you did not like or that affected you cannot be changed. You must deal with it in the realms of the here and now.
All countries, at least in the Western World try to move forward at all times, otherwise nothing would be resolved and nothing would progress.
As I said before we would still be in conflict with Germany and Japan if we had not made ourselves bury the hate and move on even though our fore folk (NOT THE PRESENT US) have endured the effects of their brutality, slaughter, butchery and genocide.
Like it or not the descendants of all the 500 Aboriginal Tribes must do the same. Until they do their generated anger based around history of past lifetimes will perpetuate this attitude and will be passed on to generation not yet born. Just look at the history of Ireland.
