The "Bradshaws" are thought to be pictograms, when you have pictograms you have evidence of..uh-oh..White people,
If these images are as old as they think then the story can only lead in one direction.
BTW does that article mention the fact that at least one of these "up to 50,000 year old" paintings represents a boat with a keel, rudder and over twenty sailors?

Thanks Jay,

Ain't it funny that there is always one migaloo (non-Indigenous) who always brings up this argument when we talk about invasion.

In deep voice.... "Science says that present Aboriginal people destroyed the true original inhabitants."

Two white scientist fighting is great proof as is the bradshaw paintings apparently. How dare they name these artifacts after him. He found them but didn't paint them. Typical explorer behaviour.

Great dogma too, we must believe "science" cause it is never wrong. Well excuse me as I leave to chase the cane toads and Indian myna birds from my pool.

Please let a black person have the last word for a change...

;)

ps: QUEENSLANDER!!

Good on you, Lexi. Yes, there are so many crucial issues in Indigenous health, employment, education, housing and substance control - especially in the more remote parts of Australia where colonialism has had far less influence and where people are just as likely to be on their own land (I wonder if Mr Pilger ever points that out to his gullible readers).

Yes, Australia was invaded - welcome to the club. Are there any parts of the world which have never been invaded ? Some countries have been invaded countless times - Syria for example: the Egyptians, Hittites, Nabateans, Assyrians, Babylonians, maybe the Hebrews, Persians, Greeks, Romans, Arabs, Crusaders, Mongols, Turks, French, and maybe others as well.

Never forget history, but don't let it drag you down. Get on with the practicalities of living in a complicated and not-particularly-just world. Most Indigenous people are doing just that, they are not victims crying powerlessly into their beer, giving Pilger and his readers the middle-class luxury of tut-tutting about the evils of the world.

2deadly.
I didn't say that, which means I didn't say it.
What happens is that White people arrive in a society, they colonise, they build up these way out, high tech civilisations then when they've reached a certain point the society becomes decadent whereupon they start fighting amongst themselves,interbreeding with the locals and then they disappear from the historical record.
It's the story of Aryans, the Egyptians, the Meso Americans, White Chinese etc.
So no, going on past precedent I don't for a minute think that "savage" Aboriginals "wiped out" a colony of meek White settlers, that's not the way Whites are wired.
You've no doubt read my earlier post on White Genocide, well it's not Aborigines or Africans or even the much maligned "Muslims" who are running this program of genocide against my race, it's more like a civil war.
So take some comfort in the fact that at some point your people will most likely be roaming the ruins of a vanished White society brandishing the remnants of our technology, just as your ancestors seem to have inherited the tools and customs of the "Bradshaw People".

Jay,

"White Chinese" ? My limited understanding of early Chinese history is that the ancestors of most Chinese, the Chins, were originally pastoralists and farmers in the belt south of Mongolia, relatively pale people, one would have thought, who aggressively invaded the areas of what is now China to the east and south, which were occupied at the time by darker people, against whom the Chins waged long wars of extermination and expulsion, in the first millenium before Christ. Hence, migrations south into Laos and Thailand and Burma by people who are arguably darker than most Chinese.

Ironically, Jay, you're playing the same game as Pilger is trying to play - whip up sympathy for a group on the phony grounds that it is being attacked and oppressed and is in danger of being exterminated. On the whole, us Whites must be the least likely group in the world to face genocide, so give it away.

Joe

Joe,
Should read "least like likely to succumb to a Genocide", there IS an ongoing program of Genocide against my people, the White people. It's undeniable, in fact it's a program spoken of in glowing terms by anti Whites, when Bill Clinton made that famous speech in Oregon about the wonderful possibilities for the future after White Americans were turned into a minority he received rapturous applause.
The fact that the people trying to wipe us out will never win is immaterial, they're trying and some of us are resisting.
They're using words and playing by a set of rules or laws, we do likewise, resist using words but never break the rules or break the law.
Nobody says there is a race problem in China and that that race problem will be solved by turning Chinese into a minority, only politicians in White countries say things like that.
The thought of Hu Jintao standing before some provincial Chinese audience and declaring that in order to survive his people must become a minority group is simply laughable.
Asia for the Asians, Africa for the Africans, White countries for everbody.
