Thank you Hasbeen, for pointing out the similarity of the "Trump-Russia collusion" hoax to the "Stolen Generation(s)" hoax. Good work. The only difference is that today, we all now know that the Russia-Trump-collusion hoax was exactly that, a hoax. While today, intellectually challenged people like Steelredux, continue to think that the so called "stolen generation(s)" hoax is true.

The Trump-Russia-collusion hoax was invented by none other than a Clinton dirty tricks department, and it was taken up by the very left leaning mainstream press owned by billionaires. Billionaires in the world today have learned how to make themselves immune from left wing criticism by pretending that they are socialists themselves. Rather perversely, the modern oligarch supports left wing causes like HIGW, while living in their mansions in gated communities, chugging around in their super yachts, and flying everywhere in their private jets. As PT Barnum said "There's a Steelredux born every minute."

Rich people portraying themselves as social justice warriors has many benefits. To start with, they can assuage any guilt they have at being super rich by usually being the inheritors of their families wealth. Another, they realise that governments making idiotic decisions based upon presumed moral imperatives instead of hard headed economic reality can give them massive opportunities to mine the rivers of gold called "public spending." One wonders that if the ethnic minority revolution they seem so determined to provoke in the western world ever eventuates, they think it will make them immune from the guillotine?

So, very bad "journalist" hacks can make themselves rich and can enhance their social standing with the ever increasing, self flagellating "woke" crowd by pushing the social justice warrior line. The top echelons of the ABC are rolling in money. While one would think that private enterprise journos would be more attuned to being what journos are supposed to be, fearless seekers of the truth, it can be much more lucrative to their careers, and enhance their social standing in their own peer group, suck up to their billionaire bosses, be activists themselves, and be fearless promoters of leftist propaganda.

A few corrections:

SR,

"There is no indication whatsoever that it was with the knowledge or consent of her aboriginal mother "

There is if you bother to look.

"I have no issue with seeing her as being part of the thousands and thousands of Aboriginal children who were taken from their Aboriginal parent/s."

And I have no problem seeing you as one of those who've completely misunderstood the meaning of "stolen".





LEGO,

"Thank you Hasbeen, for pointing out the similarity of the "Trump-Russia collusion" hoax to the "Stolen Generation(s)" hoax"

That was moi.

"people like Steelredux, continue to think.."

I dispute that.

This probably isn't the place to discuss the Trump-Russia hoax. A new thread would probably be order. But quickly, the Durham revelations are showing that a fable that was completely fictitious could be used to bamboozle well over half the US electorate and stymie changes that were disadvantageous to that nation's elites.

Dear mhaze,

The fact you haven't rolled it out is telling. Either that or it is from a Bolt piece.

Come on cough up. You are the one asserting this.

SR
You really want me to explain 'stolen'?

Ion Idriess claimed that the tribal practices of aboriginal people over the whole top half of Australia were almost identical.

He wrote that aboriginal tribal society was a gerontocracy where the Old Men were the real power in the tribe. They owned all the women and demanded and got the best cuts of meat. Young girls were "stolen" from their mothers at puberty and given to the Old Men as wives. When a middle aged man was destined by the Old Men to become a future Old Man leader , he attended a ceremony where an Old Man displayed a baby female and declared that all females born of that baby would become wives to the middle aged man.

Young boys were "stolen" from their mothers before puberty and made to live in lodges with older boys, who taught them how to track and hunt. They were never allowed to speak to their mothers or sisters again. Young men as they went through life were subject to a series of painful and degrading ceremonies held under the supervision of the Old Men. This was to terrorise the young men and boys into absolute obedience to the Old Men. Especially keeping their hands off the girls.

These ceremonies apparently included homosexual rape, as Australia's famous Fred Hollow got into trouble with the homosexual community for saying that if aboriginal people did not stop "certain practices, there would soon be no aborigines at all." Apparently, the Australian homosexual community think that initiating young boys into society by having unprotected anal sex with them is a great idea.

Idriess claimed that one of the reasons why there was little frontier warfare at the time of white settlement on the scale of the Indian wars in the USA, was because the young make and female aborigines, saw in the coming of the white man, the chance of a better life. On the frontier they were needed. The girls as cooks, domestic help, exceptional stockwomen, and the wives of lonely frontier white men. The boys as exceptional stockman, fencers, and teamsters.

Lego, all very true. Not very palatable for the present generation of academic apologists.
