the amazing thing is that both Warren and Pascoe benefited so much by identifying by what they aren't. And people claim that these groups are so disavantaged. Then why are so many whites rushing to identify?

Donald Trump put the madwoman down by persisting and by recruiting genuine descendants of native Americans. He was, and is, trying to protect Americans from lunatics. I can't imagine our 'leader' - the Three Wise Monkeys rolled into one - saying boo about Pascoe and the crap our kids will be brainwashed with.

So Sr,

Did you seriously think I didn't know these were nom de plumes? Actually, given the ferocity of the attempts to protect this fraud, its probably better to call them nom de guerres.
Of course these people are protecting their real identities. Anyone who decides to question bona fides of the latest pet of the aboriginal industry and who didn't hide their real identities would be considered mildly insane.
But so what? Even Pascoe has operated under other names. As has SR and mhaze.

That they do so doesn't change the data.

That's the difference between us SR. I never bothered to check the identities of these people because it doesn't matter. I go straight for the data to see how accurate it might be.

SR on the other hand has a two stage process. (1) do I like the data? if yes - then its true. if no go to (2) where we don't try to disprove the data but attack the messenger.

But the messenger doesn't change the data.

"And no the site isn't “just a conglomeration of other sites” at all."

Well I didn't say it was. I said the PAGE I linked to was. Did you misunderstand that or are we already in the famous SR muddy-the-water phase?

So on the PAGE I linked, one of the more important links was to http://australianhistory972829073.wordpress.com/2019/10/23/bruce-pascoe-how-aboriginal-is-he/

Now is the data in that link 'discredited' because you can't identify the people who linked to it?

Unfortunately in SR-land that's how it works. Don't like the facts - ignore them for any reason at hand. Me? I want to see if those facts are valid.

And they are.

Is Pascoe an aboriginal? Nup. Just because some people you don't like offer proof of that fact, doesn't mean the facts change.

I wonder if you'll understand that?

'Donald Trump put the madwoman down by persisting and by recruiting genuine descendants of native Americans'

yep ttbn, that is why the swamp hate him so much and the deplorables luv him. Done more good for America than last 4 presidents. The sad part is that no one could have imagined how mirky and deep the swamp is. It includes the fbi, lying liberal mainstream media, judges, baby killing , gw fraudsters, Hollywood, illegal immigration trade and the list goes on and on. Amazing against all these traitors of America he has managed to reduce power costs and have record unemployment.

"and by recruiting genuine descendants of native Americans"

Well it seems two aboriginal leaders of tribes Pascoe claimed to be a member of have now come out and categorically denied that he is a member and they doubt he is aboriginal at all. But I guess they've been discredited because....reasons.

One has also complained of Pascoe getting funds and funding that rightfully belongs to true aboriginals.

It gets worse. Bruce Pascoe is a finalist in the 2019 Human Rights Awards because of his:

" …. ongoing research into Aboriginal agriculture challenges the widespread belief that Aboriginal Australians were hunter-gatherers. This belief was used to justify dispossession of Aboriginal lands, but Bruce’s multi-award-winning book Dark Emu uses early explorers’ diaries to reveal complex food production and land management systems used by Aboriginal people. He also seeks to revive these systems and develop a national industry of Aboriginal foodstuffs."
