We are an joining forces here working to educate the public and support community in protecting the unique environment and culture of the Kimberley. The Kimberley is one of the world's last great wilderness areas and deserves real protection.
The Kimberley is currently under threat with a range of short-sighted industrial proposals threatening the sustainable tourism, Indigenous land management and pastoral future of the region. Most pressing is a proposal to build a massive LNG processing plant at James Price Point (JPP) 50km North of Broome.
The Kimberley Coast would suffer irreparable damage both environmentally and culturally under such a proposal with all its associated industrial impacts including shipping traffic, reef blasting, dredging and pollution – all in the breeding and nursery area for the worlds largest remaining population of Humpback whales.
The State Government has initiated compulsory acquisition of Indigenous land at James Price Point for the Woodside lead project in a move that has met with outrage across Australia and the world. Meanwhile the joint venture partners Shell, Chevron, BP and BHP continue to have reservations understanding that THERE ARE ALTERNATIVES – Browse basin gas could be:
1. Left in the ground, or
2. Piped to the Pilbara where there is established industrial infastructure, or
3. Processed via offshore floating technology under development.
Save the Kimberley does not oppose development. Save the Kimberley supports appropriate development that looks after people and the environment of the Kimberley.
THERE IS NO NEED TO PUT THE PRISTINE KIMBERLEY COAST AT RISK

[-o-] Brothers, sisters, grandmothers and grandfathers of the world unite to send prayers and support to keep the oldest living culture alive and thriving!
Hoping you are all shinning bright today as we are trying hard to here in Australia right now. And I was dreading the day I might have to call on people like yourself to help. The time is here and i have come to ask you firstly, have you been kept in the loop with Oz issues? Man, it is with the heaviest heart i call on u to loan ur support to end the secret war on the oldest surviving people, their culture and their land.
I am a proud young mother of 4 boys who has been brought up in the struggle, feeling today like I'm fighting my way out of a plastic bag. We live in a tin shed n a dinged up van in picturesque North Stradbroke Island bushland, without water, toilet, shower, with a generator on at night 4 light. We know this is important to carry on in the footprints of our ancestors, escape the assimilation push and raise our children with the space to grow.
My partner and I teach traditional dance every saturday to get our culture strong and connect back to our mother earth. The biggest problem is we still don't know our language – 17 survive so far out of 250 languages, we don't have a single bit of family support here now, most have passed on. TV is making our children complacent, trauma from oppression is even destroying the best of us quietly and we are only living to an average age of 60 at most.
It is pressure i feel, being among the first generation of my line to be free, all my mothers before were forcibly removed, abused daily and made slaves until they could escape. I survived Redfern, a heroin habbit, loosing my everything- my nanna's my mumma, her brother, her sister, my culture teacher and alot of young ones taking their own lives.
Believe it or not we have the highest incarceration rates in the world, they lock us up for mainly cussing, swearing and we are too spiritual for that cold confinement treatment. So alot of us suicide or are killed by police violence. Still not 1 police officer charged no matter how much evidence, we c whitewash year afer year. Like in South Africa, hundreads of deaths in custody. Well, since i was 5, i can remember marching and crying at lack of justice alot, it's getting worse, i feel it.
Now as we speak they/forces of police are violently moving our elders and supporters from a blockade to protect our sacred Kimberly, this world renowned beauty is about to be turned up to make way for a gas line. All through our country we have veins called songlines, our ancient passages with their special songs and energy; they carried us to where we were going and into the ages. My/our nightmare is that this ignorant government will never acknowledge us rightfully as their ancient brothers and sisters who are kind enough to share our home and who carry universal treasures for a new conciousness of balance and harmony that served us for millenia, when it really was The Lucky Country.
We are ready to reclaim this for the world and we believe we can depend on the good of man to help us call for peace to end this silent war.
We alone may acheive peace in the next 50 years here but with global awareness because of the lack of positive progress here, people power and political pressure on a global stage will up show these puppets and free the people within their strangle hold. We have alot of supporters worldwide, we love you all for thinking of us although you are thousands of miles away and need to get this message to them all urgently. We stand with all people suffering and are praying each day for your freedom too. I don't want to let anyone just take away my mother's tongue when some of us, against all odds are so close to learning our traditional language after a generation gap of non speakers like in Hawaii and our Indian families. We will have nothing for our children if we loose our language and let them spoil our pristine water and land. Our language is key to our wellbeing and survival as the latest research revealed shows. We already know it to be the heartbeat of the land and the law connected to all living things is also in these languages.
And secondly, would you be willing to send prayers of support to keep the oldest living culture alive and thriving, please?
The least we can do is ask individuals to think of us at the time when you pray or join with us each morning to pray for a brand new day for all doing it hardest. At 6am your time or when you open you beautiful eyes and ask to c the beauty in the day, please also ask that the people of the land be free to live in peace and harmony and c more beauty everyday where they are. I feel we need a spiritual revolution to nurture spiritual growth, conciousness and unity especially now that more can see the crippling conditions that most are not awake to, so that finally after 220 years of marshal law in this country for example, we can begin our healing and continue practicing our ancient traditions to fix this mess.
We are ready but are only 1 million and majorly disadvantaged by trauma of oppression and poverty, in a universe of billions. Please help us to hold on to the wisdom of our ancestors and the land we are now the caretakers of, together, we can turn, turn this situation around. Leave us to one day live in peace and celebrate as 1. I ask of the oppressor's why you do this? How can we look after anything when we are wounded like this? You know with your ignorance we are to be depended on for having to look out for your children now too, because you are failing even this.
With limited money I feel like we are in a straight jacket as I watch old people being man handled by men in uniforms while they sit protesting peacefully against a 30 billion dollar project to destroy another huge part of us. If you can do more than pray, please do. Come, organise buses, food & support 4 protestors, care for our elders still protesting in winter or even an urgent letter writing campaign. Please see links below for how you can be part of this global movement to protect our roots. I invite you all on behalf of the First Australians who are concerned for our land, culture and all of our futures. We hope you see how this can be of benefit to you and your family as it is like an investment to make available a huge piece of the global puzzle.
Thank you kindly for you time. Many blessings of light love and laughter for a safe and happy journey together into our new day.

Magabala Books
In September 1984 a traditional song and dance festival was held at Ngumpan, near Fitzroy Crossing in the Kimberley region of Western Australia. It was attended by more than two hundred people from communities throughout the region. The meeting voted for the establishment of a Kimberley Aboriginal Law and Culture Centre (KALACC). This meeting developed three main aims of KALACC and it was the third aim "Providing protection to traditional storytellers and artists in matters of copyright and publication", that led to the establishment of Magabala Books.
Releasing its first title in 1987, Mayi – Some Bushfruits of the West Kimberley by Merrilee Lands it was followed by Wandering Girl, an autobiography by Glenyse Ward. This book sold out within ten days of the launch and continued to be a bestseller for over a decade. Both were milestone moments for the publisher that has since released over one hundred titles from a range of genres and publishing books by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people from all over Australia.
Magabala is the Nyul Nyul, Nyangumarta, Karrajari and Yawuru traditional language word for the bush banana found on the west Kimberley coast. As the fruit hardens and dries, it prepares for the dispersal of its many seeds with their spectacular parasol-shaped aerofoils. Magabala Books views it's publishing in much the same way, by spreading the seeds of culture.
Based in Broome, Western Australia, Magabala Books is one of the remotest publishing houses in the world. It is also the oldest independent Indigenous publishing house in Australia.

All My poems
Prayer From Me An Australian Aborigine….
Goodmornin World and those of us on the other side,
What another beautiful day,
The earth, the water and the sky,
as it was in the beginning of time.
The children of ancestors,
so strong and wise,
we still learning bout peaces prize,
Please keep us from pain and resentment,
Our children smiling
And our old people contented
We pray to be grateful
And give thanks for life
By Kaiyu Bayles
Yes u got pain sista girl
Loosin your mama ain't easy
Split up from your grandma well that's real hard too!
What happens when your not safe changes everything about you
Sayin goodbye to old friends and babies too
But plenty of people before you made it through
Your allowed to cry, it's been tough
On your own u need more than luck
Take that pain sis its yours,and love it
Yeas you could have been this and that
But you can't take that back
Look after yourself – relax
No fears with the tears
Let them flow
Choking n smoking
Feeling yourself grow
It's ok Sis – let it go
Look back on pain and happiness
Live in the moment
Create that bliss
And remember without the blues
you wouldn't be you
WHY CANT I JUST B ME
Why cant I just be Kaiyu
Why cant I just be me
All this stress n responsibility
I just wanna be free
Yaraka, Mara, Jyda, Kia, Binowee
They all me
Alison, Laina N Dee
Let me Be, You go, Be free
Granny here now, I'm feelin sad
Don't know what's goin on. N feelin bad
Everythings goin to be all right
Just one more night
To think about the clothes you're in
Are You Comfortable
To think about that house you call home
Is it really a Castle?
To think about the family you're in
How happy is everyone and why?
Before you leave today
And what does not
Because change
Starts with you…so
Greet the day
Just as our ancestors did
Speak words of kindness
To ourselves too
Let yourself free
Eat the foods of the earth
Swim in her oceans and lakes
Say I love you at least once a day
Remember we are all great
Free yourself from the chains
How can you be?
If you're not happy
Go back to being that free spirited child
We all deserve to be free
We can and will make it right… Just
Take moment
Discover your true talents
Practice Gratitude and fewer attitudes
Love Peace More and Hate War Less
Still having trouble? Well that's cool too
When you c that child smiling
That's what it's all about
Yes there's negativity all around
But change is a coming
But first we all have to
Own our pain, heal it
Breath, Lets not exist but live life
Hold on to your loved ones
Lead the way for all
Let love and positivity rule
Not politicians, jobs and school
Let's recreate true happiness
For one and all
More answers lay deep in our beautiful lands
Turn to our brothers and sisters who carry the true way forward
Harmony, balance and respect for great and small
This can be ours now
Handed down through you and me
We will move forward soon
We have to dig deeper in time
Make those ancient laws yours and mine
Teach them to our children, communities and countries
Are we heading for destruction as 1 people?
Have the answers for a real proper society been left in time?
For the future of all
Maintain principals that stand tall
Take this moment right now
Reverse It
Reverse It… please,
wearing rags, clothes I mean,
happiness hardly seen,
Loosing sight of whats right, learnin nothing in schools,
Talking English, Living in houses and Jails, no good rules
Money supposed to be important, people always fight
Na Not me, I'm Indigenous to Thee
We belong to beauty possessed by you and me, but now we all crying
All together was Mother Earths creations, laying, walking and flying,
Words of wisdom, love in everyone, peace always a given
Free we was, off our home we were driven
I can feel the pain and the sorrow,
What will come tomorrow?
Whiteman, yellow man, black man need to make a stand….
Make their ways count, discover the lors we have for this land
Save us all…. No more Jails, Housing estates, highways, murders and rapes
No more Red tape….. Reverse it Please!
We might all be free, not just the old aborigine
Kaiyu Moura
Let's Indigenize it all ay?
My poems Freedom
Eyes open mind shut
Gonna start the day? Nuh
Mumma's gone, granny two,
N the population, we 2.2
No more boomerang no more spear
We reachen for the powder, yarndi, n beer
The chains remain, see the pain
Hear the silence, no rain?
Pain and suffering day after day
Old n young searchin for a new way
Gotta organise, stick together and stay strong
No more these fullas, doin us all wrong
We know what ought to be done
Let's lead the way and on the way we goinn have some
Freedom was taken but we can get it back
Love that skin your in, the family your in we not slack
Freedom – we got the red yellow and black
Live life to the fullest, with the finest, never crack
Freedom- 4 one an alll – back on track
Good times and good friends
Together we can be, we gots to be
Like the wind, birds, ocean and sea
Indiginise your mind, hear the music
Free your body, move your feet
Dance with mother natures mystic beat
Speack your tongue,
live with love!
Listen to the echoes of the past
We gotta get freedom fast
Cancer, tumurs and heart disease
Animals disappearing and cutting our trees
Time to change the fight, no more struggle
Ask them fullas do the right
Not just by us, by their ole fullas,
They must!
Disabled by physicals, racism, hate or greed
Freedom's what we all need
Empowered by the idea of freedom in every way for all – achieved through the concepts of indigenization. Hit a nerve? Let's brainstorm
My poems Wheres the tribe?
Where is my people? Where is my tribe?
My bodies giving in, tell me their alive.
How many are crying? Tired of trying?
Forgotten people, forgotten time? Not in my mind.
I got to get there, drive, swim or fly.
Ther'll be no more ear ache, from no-good words
And no eating this food, feeling worse afterwards.
Got you in my heart and freedom's in our path.
Connecting back up with one another
The animals, our ways and the land, our mother.
Here is my people. Here is my tribe.
Human being roaming free, the ole spirit inside of me.
Ready? Our season is near. Just like our wildflower
With the might and strength of our creator,
We shall bloom a new era.
Breathe…Be at Ease…Believe…
My lyrics, i need a bit of help with getting the message out.
Deep B.L.A.C.K Songlist
Is It Always Going To Feel This Way?
We were here you know?
Long, long, long, long time ago.
In this bright green country
For us to all roam freely
Why would you change It?
I have to ask this nation.
Got to realise it.
Then Indigenize It!
This our Island home
Free n easy we roam.
Disrupted 100,000 years of peace
For convicts and their police.
You've no jurisdiction,
With a history like science fiction.
Cause we have listened, we have learned,
We have laughed, cried and yearned…
So this Westminster system with no jurisdiction
Is about to be overturned.
Confusioned, disillusion,
where's the rebelution?
Keep a check on how we feel,
Are we all keeping real?
Keep checkin our relation
Cause from nation to nation
We are all racin to nowhere land and
We need to understand…
Because, it's not meant to be like this
Bein helpless
Not meant to feel like this
Clenchin our fists.
Kneeling and praying each day,
(Language)
GOORI'S!!!!!!!!!!
Rise up, Rise up, Rise up.
Sovereign people still today
For a new day, for our old ways.
Time to thrive, we have survived.
Even modern day genocide.
Colonisation, segregation, assimilation and now reconciliation…
Got all our ears achin!
So let's go walkabout n coorooboree now..
Dreamin's alla time – anytime,
It's not meant to be like this
Lacking a mothers kiss
Lil joyfulness
If we kneel n pray, for it to go away
Is it always goin to feel this way?
This land where you stand needs man to understand
This is sacred land,
Everywhere you walk, sit or stand,
Our people been there.
Home 2 da rainbow serpent and red sand
Law, histories, song and dance.
It's coming back from the surface
To put an end to this circus.
We know a better way
From living in a better day.
Now Sssshhh, while we watch our children play.
There ain't no mystery
We governed, we tilled and documented history.
In 2011 you can't get away with Invasion
Put an end to this illegal occupation, of a nation,
Stop rations, listen, be patient.
Kicking off the heads of our next generation,
Now still victims of corporate rascists.
We the key ingredient!
All this talk, anybody meanin it?
Experience and understanding is seldom
Yet knowledge plus consequences, equals, wisdom.
Don't it?
Not meant to be like this,
Life is politics
Bunch of lunatics at it,
If we try a different way
No, No, No,
It's not to be this way
Our spirit still strong today
It's not meant to feel this way
Sing, dance, shout now n play
The ole way back for a new day.
Together: Dedicated to our great, great, great, great, greats,
we shall b free In our home country.
To all our childrens, childrens, childrens, children,
Keep on smiling and thrivin on your Aboriginal Island.
The Block Rocks
Holden Street's where my family began,
Nan hiding under the bed
From the devil man.
Mum fought her way through,
No one had it easy I knew.
Cards was the go, though
But no takin things slow. though
The Railway view, The Clifton, The Empress.
Koori's here dress to impress.
We got style,
Leave Paris in Denial.
And our love is strong
Kisses and cuddles are long.
Don't mess around
Or the block will come down
The Block rox!
We been here too long,
We too strong!
Your plans are no good
Wantin the block to look good.
No rain's goin to come,
Once development's began.
Mix it up, fix it up,
Don't mess it up!
From Newcastle, Mooli, n Cowra
To Walgett, Moori n Cumra!
We'll be gatherin till eternity
And now it's up to you and me!
To give the men a hand
Help with em a plan
Culture centre & Sports centre, we a solid community.
Let's get it together true Redfern unity
All the block babies, warriors, soldiers,
Everyone knows now cause we told em.
Hold up ya hands if ya care!
N Scream I'm there
(I'm there)
(I care)
If that qualified as a petition
The world would listen.
Since the beginning of their visiting
We been holdin em out – resisting.
Pamulway, Tedbury,
They showed the way!
Uncle Doug, Uncle Ken n Uncle Max,
They knew not to be too relaxed.
Like the Redfern All Blacks
Keep the ball in motion,
Just like a rolling ocean.
Truth is always the potion,
Let's move this notion.
Please don't mess it up!
Forget the Harbour Bridge, Centre Point, The Rocks,
Bondi & Darling Harbour – the Block Rox!
What a sad day
That one in Botany Bay.
So called brutes and Terranulias.
You fulla's shamed your king and yourselves,
Changing paradise into a colony.
Forgetting along the way, humanities.
But now we strong and each one of us is free.
Hardened by misery.
Cause today the top dogs
Still bring in the top rocks.
But No matter what
The Block will always Rock!
Yes its the black heart,
Redfern was the very start,
Of many things, great.
A late congrats to all who'd congregate,
for our communities, our race.
FACTSIA, Activists,
With all the mad tactics
Medical centre and childcare.
Still on the Block we always share.
For the work you do,
We all thank you
Uncle Shane, Aunty Ali n all the mob that rallies
Together for Redfern, it's your turn
to sing:
To the whole Redfern family,
U a big part of me.
Specially those we've lost.
And we'll never loose the block!
No sellin off
To no yupee lot
I oppose any notion
That goes against the grain of the people n the emotion.
I hope this message travels across the land,
All hear it, Koori woman and man.
The blocks still under threat,
They tryin to knock it down n attack it with bricks and cement.
Is any body available – (to comment?)
Whose liable,
When the grandchildren come to gather
And there's not even a shadow.
To remind them of the times,
All the years, all the people gone by?
All the years Redfern shines,
Always so fresh in my heart and mind.
I'm one to put a stop to, well start…
We can't be sold out by no retard.
No disrespect.
No harm meant.
Be accountable,
Don't let it fall!
I can't it's where I learnt to crawl!
N people there changed my nappy…
The block is where we're all happy!
You only got one shot.
Open my eyes up
Wanna scream
Wanna scram
Get the hell out here
But all is as it's meant to be
Release, release, Oh release.
All is as it's meant to be.
Language (fast dance beat)
Cause they don't know how they feel,
Let's keep these dictators reel.
We been driven from our lands.
Are we controlled by the man?
All is as it's meant to be. They say.
And we can't fix a world that's not broken
But so many words go unspoken.
So man's direction has to be criticised
For disillusioned plans to civilise.
We the most documented race,
But nobody really knows,
Even though on
All of our faces it shows.
But people care, there to lend a helping hand.
Is it enough though?
Life is tough you know?
Open your eyes; wanna scream?
Everything is as it's meant to be.
Everything's just as it's meant to be?
Would I change a thing?
This damn democracy is crazy!
No, don't, stop that, you can't,
Even babies aren't free.
These puppeteers of false mastery
Better off stickin to customary law…real mastery.
Kaiyu: Gotta look after number one?
How do you tell that to a mum?
All those who've had enough, open your heart
Where do they start?
Hear their screams,( is ok?)
What bout they dreams
Can we walk away because we feel this way…?
When lil help never went astray.
People care and someone's always there.
The greatest of us, grew up tough,
Overcoming feelings of giving up.
So don't scream, just breathe.
In n Out In n Out (background fast beat – In out, In out at same time).
C'mon people share and care to understand, first…
Kaiyu: Breath in and out.
Patty: Does the world get colder as we get older?
Can't get sick, need an ear or a shoulder?
The unity is missin
From our communities.
To raise our children proper,
Let's set up camp wherever.
People do care – there to lend a hand
Listen carefully – to the land
Open our eyes – we all got to realise…
People care – even wen the problem ain't theirs.
Sing and dance now.
Close your mind.
Because everything,
Together, lets send love to all suffering and for freedom,
For the war torn and oppressed,
The hungry n homeless.
Together: Do we care? Care to really understand,
How we really feel?
How we really live?
Might make us wanna scream, but…
Take it slowly and… breathe.
Care to share n be there,
For the ones you love,
Before we give up.
Dare to dream,
Quieten our minds and breathe.
And join together,
One mob forever.
Bring our best selves
Aim for the top shelves.
And start to care
Or it could be the end of man, damn.
In the meantime, just breathe….
In n out (In out, In out).
Release, release, Oh release me.
Just Breathe In N Out
(Breath in out, in out).
Sunshine In A Concrete Haze
Lil Kaiyu down Waterloo,
Down the PCYC you can find me,
The factory, Laundromat,
The fern or market.
Not quiet what life was meant to be,
Shops n a lane – not reel free.
We were happy
Eatin fruit from a tree,
Drinkin water from a whole in the conrete.
Little women,
Meetin up – goin swimmen,
Down the PA,
Go home n u have to stay.
No idea what was round the corner,
Sis, wished I could'ev warned ya.
Cuase it felt too good
In our lil neighbourhood
Across from the Rabbits
N all the bad habbits
So much goin down in our home town
We were too busy bein little clowns
You see we love Redfern n Waterloo too!
Even far away it's still in you.
But take us home
Where our spirits roam.
Our ole ways
Like cleaning rays
Too much sorry time
In all our lives…
Brothers n sisters we free – You n Me!
Cause we the deadliest,
The strugglers!
They goin bleed us,
We goin Lead us!
Your bodies tired and mind's even worse,
You've seen it all
N aint nothing to live for.
But this is your land!
Bloods on white hands!
You and me,
We free.
Send all the majik U can find,
Heal that pain and see us shine.
Our grannies were taken,
Our children forsaken.
And trying to awaken
From this nightmare called life,
Trouble, strife.
Old n new trauma is too much pain
For one too maintain.
It's not all in vein,
Cause we can all remain
Part of that long, long chain.
We free to enjoy each other n loving this experience,
Make time to cry n still marvel at our brilliance.
We can learn to live, love n laugh,
Even if making the most of this day is hard.
Learn just 1 word, listen n smile,
Play with children, run a mile.
Our mind needs exercise.
Soon we'll all realise,
With these strong blood lines,
It's still our time.
Swim in our waters, eat our food,
Rid all problems with mood.
And with all this began,
Wat will invasion really have done.
Aborigine – part o' u's in part of me.
Me n you, you n you, we gotta become we.
We all branches off the one tree.
That's how we put an end to world hostility.
Where our spirits free to roam.
This song is dedicated to the sufferers of invasions. There experiences are a direct result of systems gone wrong from the beginning. Who feels it the most? The disadvantaged. Even though they do not engage in it in any way they experience the brink of the rapes, the violence, the murders, drugs, degradation and overall disregard of one of the greatest treasures of all time. Human Kind.
Is It Always Goin 2 Feel This Way?
where's the revolution?
Because it's not meant to be like this
Patty: It's not meant to be like this
Kaiyu: Is it always goin to feel this way?
Patty: This land where you stand needs man to understand
Our rainbow serpent and red sand
Now victims of corporate rascists.
All this talk anybody meanin it?
Yet knowledge plus consequences, equals wisdom.
we shall overcome In our home country.
It was spiritual majik
All round me.
I thought that Island home had trapped me.
I'm alive, ready to thrive.
With you I wanna dance it through.
Dreamin together,
Squeezin forever.
I love U! I Love U!
True I do!
N Only You.
Your beautiful, spiritual n sensual,
So young, yet so sensible.
You make me shine
N smile all the time.
I never knew I was so strong,
I hadn't been happy for so long.
This love is amazing,
It drives me crazy.
And when I look at you,
That light is shinning thru.
Enjoyin the kids and life,
I'd gladly be your wife.
Because with you, anything is possible,
Everything is real.
Oh n how u love me,
You believe in me,
Your overwhelmin me,
By helping me get to my feet.
With you I feel complete.
I hold your hand,
Proud to call you my man.
We can do anything,
Together just being.
We're so happy.
N it's our time to shine.
Yes let's fish n swim,
The way u treat u'r woman.
U know how to have fun,
Lift my head when its hung.
Talk, play the PSP
Books, n movies,
We even paint beautifully,
Create a life mural.
I promise we'll do well.
I'm here for you,
Right next to you.
All the way,
What he say.
N for me you do the same.
You're a father, a hunter.
N ooohhh I just luv ya
With you anything is possible
We belong forever.
Matriarch, sacred feminine,
The sun moon balance.
Divinity decided by vanity.
And so becomes history.
Your hollyness was a man
His other half – you guessed it, a woman.
Ready to carry the messages on.
I'm a disciple of the old way,
Again and again you'll hear me say,
Herstory is here to stay!
Women's business,
It's serious.
It's not gone, why dismiss it?
Live with it,
Start sharin it.
Cause we had it tight, right, right, right, back.
And on a feminist track
We had a lot to do with that!
Free thinker have learned
Back then we'd a be burned.
Like the first testament
N the scriptures
That might contain some truth.
Who they tryin to fool,
Telling us all to believe
This father of Jesus,
Made us?
Our mothers created us.
Believe in ourselves.
G.O.D
Is the Great Out Doors.
So pay attention to the seasons,
And look at all the reasons,
We ended up here.
We're in drivers seat – steer.
Look after the sisters
Nurture her.
Or stay clear n live in harmony with mother nature
She'll save ya.
There's a female half to all things,
Can't u c it's missing?
We are out of balance and out of wack,
Herstories got to come back.
Dubai, Jundal, Kudgerie!
Woman Magic!
Why do you mock our business?
Ladies night at clubs,
Distasteful pubs.
Cause women are the champions of all time.
Standing behind,
At the brink of crime.
So with this rhyme
I hope to remind you all
We there to pick u up fall after fall.
Nurture you more and more.
Heal your pain,
Stop the world from goin insane.
So let's go back, back in time.
To a way even I'd be happy to live by.
And instead of worshippin myths and legends,
Kings and Queens-
There is no other,
Like a mother.
Yes it's pagan
Like Yagan.
Where we began.
Fire, water, sun and moon,
When it's full notice, that change in you?
And harvest times were Christmas
Before Christians.
But we still half thinkers, missin…
What is it? The feminine.
So let's get in touch with it,
We all need mothering.
You gotta know it –
To be a warrior
You gotta show it –
To be a soldier
You gotta luv it –
Let her rock ya, world!
In the Moonlight,
Watch us shine bright.
To drum beats,
We movin right.
Loving all of it,
Lookin sweet!
Needin leeders,
We need her.
Believe that
You know where we came from now let's
Live a life that's wholesome.
Chorus x 2
(warning: contains issues dealing with sexual violence)
We feel like scrubbing hard,
Runnin a yard,
Punch and scream real loud.
And you, your runnin you coward,
Leavin me forever in half,
In your path.
Hope you soon land in hell.
What just happened – who to tell?
Where's my safe place?
Keep my mind at a safe pace.
Dr's, lawyers, police, family n Psychology,
How's anyone gonna help me?
Grown men to lil girls,
Upside down goes their worlds.
I'm goin to see you one day,
Why'd you do that I'm a say?
Somebody hurt you that bad,
You go make hundreds sad?
Go on tell me your problems – if that' el help.
I'l do anything to end this living hell.
But it's time for you to repair what's no longer there.
Where, how do people loose control,
And take like a car needs petrol.
I hope you get help soon,
Before a new victims doom.
But where do we start,
Being worlds apart?
I feel sick, I'm scared,
You, you better be scarred.
Love n kindness not
Anger n violence.
I'm goin to see you one day.
Go on tell me your problems – if that' el help
But it's time for you to face your disgrace.
Care to loosen
This noose I'm wearin?
Ever thought about it
All the pain created?
That you initiated,
Debilitating.
Worth the lives taken?
One day soon I'l be free
From the misery you put on me.
My body's my shrine
And more importantly it's mine.
If I forgave you
What would that do?
Really, how much good is still in you?
Plus.. the pain you cause,
You could never undo.
But it's time for you to prepare.
Years of living lost,
You cant imagine the loss.
Is this any skin of your nose?
I really gotta know.
I am going to see you and I'l have all day.
I want to hear what you have to say.
I will walk away, start again.
For you – I'll just say
Poor thing!
Kids Weekend
No tears, no fears, you got t be strong
Got to find a place where you belong.
Just shying away
Where faith dances straight.
Take time out, dig deep, deep down.
Keep your head up high, u'r feet on the ground.
We decide how we'll feel.
We decide how we heal.
Fillin our day with laughter and play, (please)
Look after each other and send love each day.
Seek n u shall find
What treasures I hide in my mind.
Listen please, listen to me.
As I sing, this song to u.
Hear my message coming through
Do we wanna be happy?
Do we wanna be free?
Boom shuck-a-lucka!
Twiddley diddley diddley dum
Twiddley diddley diddley dee
Wanna start out happy
All the family
Kids clean behind us
For there's fun to be had
Have some fruit
Put on the boot
Love you all – I'm off
Cause I'm a kid
– n I'm free
I'm me – who I'm meant to be
I'm a kid, I'm a kid!
A brainy, brainy, brainy, brainy kid.
I think I'll fly a plane
N hope it don't rain.
Then play shops
And buy the lot.
We'll pretend to go to work
N that someone gets hurt.
We can be ten foot tall
Without a problem at all
But when I'm feelin down,
Please don't turn around.
Cause one day soon
(I promise) I'll be big like you.
But it don't look real fun
so let's walk, not run.
And let's get the party
Begun.
I Wanna start out happy
I'd rather you be you – n I be me.
Cause I'm a kid, I'm a kid!
So you be you n I be me.
I can imagine being called your honour
Or being the prime minister.
If it were up to me maybe the world wouldn't be so messed up.
I can play basketball,
Even pretend to start a war.
But I'd rather be peaceful,
Or even sing soulful.
Go home to get a quick bite,
This time I might take the bike
Or the skates or scooter.
I really love things with a loud hooter.
I'll make some cool music
And pretend to go loopy.
Or be an adult
That would be yuck!
or there's fun to be had
I like being me, can't u see?
Cause I'm a kid, cause I'm a kid
A brainy, brainy, brainy, brainy kid!
I Love being me – can't you see.
I'm Free!
So listen please, listen to me.
N you and I will be complete!

But, I'm gonna make you proud
Stand out in the crowd.
You've given me all I need,
So don't worry now, please.
I chose the right one.
I got the very best mum.
Mum's the word, (scratched)
That's what I learned.
Where would I be,
Without thee
Best mother.
Oh respect her, hear her, honour her, feel her.
Tiga: Mother nature, creator.
They made us
And everything we see,
Its all majk mother's weave.

How to wind down and take it slow,
Have fun, be playful while getting on with the show.
Tiga:
You only get one life
Live it wisely.
Treat people kind, you taught me.
Hold your head up high,
Always try hard,
Aim for the moon, at least you'll land in the stars.

Most importantly you taught me to take a stance.
Together: We look like our mum

Put u # 1, whenever
Cause mum… you matter.
We walk together, read together, Talk together, swim together,
Ride together, drive together
I love our time together.

How Insane (that Gin Lane)
Alcohol bans, treaten us like children
Over this alien substance,
An introduced nuisance.
Governments might as well be an endorsee,
It's legal cause of the money in it.
Rum Corps, bribes and slavery.
Here, that's how it come to be.
But in London
For the peasants
Came an affordable drink,
Makin life for the poor gut renchin.
A lane for drunks and gins.
We got called the very same thing.
Babies hangin by there feet,
Mothers without teeth.
It's a little different,
Just convenient
To label
The rebel.
All who drink 2 much turn to mongrel,
It's not our way,
Drink it you say.
Make your pain go away.
But like the girls in gin lane,
Go insane.
Cause we had no such thing as an alcoholic
Or gin and tonic.
Yeah people got high from time to time,
Medicine, help to relax the mind.
Today though we choose dope or hope
To cut the chains, the shackles, the ropes.
Cause we beautiful and culture colourful,
We true!
Ruining ourselves,
Fillin jail cells.
N wakin listenin to whats been done.
None of it fun.
It was me though
I don't remember but I know.
Bit humiliating,
The self blaming.
Born on the hottest coals,
Just need a lil calm n self control.
We loose another day, week, year,
We'll get sober.
Fixing livers
Start really livin.
But what else is there to choose
I mean instead of drinkin booze?
There ain't many options,
I can only think of one.
To get back to our roots
All of our truths.
Find ourselves.
Lost is easier to control
But come on -not our, parkies, goomies or drones.
We cant be lifer's
Good liver – Good livin
Cant imprison ourselves
Lets fix the liver cells
Feel alive
Thrive!
Giving up can be empowering,
But goin need supporting.
Our old ways are here you know
From long time ago.
To stand up strong, in this land
Where we belong.
Reclaim our bodies,
Yeah be a little sorry
But it's amazing
This thing covered in skin.
It can heal with love and kindness, like all of us, with niceness.
It's the only solution –
Steps towards a health revolution.
Something different? Something new?
Or recycle the idea of goin back
On an original Aboriginal track?
With alcohol out of the equation
Lets go about undoing the effects – decolonisation.
C That Star!
Dedicated to Yarraka Bayles on your 27th birthday.
Yarraka u'r a beaming star

Of strong black women in the 21 century,
Watch these ones as they show us how it's meant to be.

Jay-Z & Beyonce Illuminate?

Hip hop/rap listeners have we been taken 4 fools or the ride of our lives?
Rumors have swirled for years that certain elite members of the black community are part of the secret order of Masons. The Masons are a secret society of brothers who recognize each other through a series of clandestine signals such as a special secret handshake and symbolism.
http://www.sandrarose.com/ has finally picked up on this.. That is what she had to say about it.
Now everyone knows that the Illuminate is a "super group" who is looking to stage by stage take over this world and make everyone else powerless. They are supposed to be Satanic and all those affiliated will give out subliminal messages of their links….. there are so many with Jay-Z/Kanye etc…even 2Pac complained at one point that he was being forced by the Illuminate to join…but he didnt want to…and shortly after speaking out he died. Check the video:
The question is: Why would Jay-Z. Beyonce, Kanye etc be affiliated by the Illuminate/Free Masons/New World Order. Why would they be interested in these young black people? Well the answer is simple… the best way to start mind control over the youth of today is through their most popular means. Music. Like it or not Beyonce and Jay-Z have been dominating the music scene for at least a decade if not longer.
New World Order Currency: The all-seeing-eye on the dollar bill. Below the illuminati pyramid/eye symbol are the words: "Novus Ordo Seclorum," which can be translated as: "A new order of the ages". Notice anything similar?
Now I am a Obama supporter as I previously stated but what if all this Black President ish is just a way of distracting us from what is really going on. Obama might not even realise it himself….look at how Beyonce & Jay-Z literally ran the presidential campaign and performed relentlessly to get the Youth vote and the Ethnic minority vote.
Here is what the rapper Prodigy had to say about Jay-Z and his association:
"J.Z. knows the truth, but he chose sides with evil in order to be accepted in the corporate world. J.Z. conceals the truth from the black community and the world, and promotes the lifestyle of the beast instead. J.Z is a God damn lie. I have so much fire in my heart that I will relentlessly attack J.Z, Illuminati, and any-every other evil that exists until my lights are put out. This negativity I speak of is an actual living entity that uses us as food. We must sever ties with it in order to see things for what they really are. This negative energy is created and harnessed by the Illuminati secret government and they will make you spread this energy without you even knowing it. But people like J.Z. are very well aware. He was schooled by Dr. York"
Tidbits: Jay-Z calls himself Hova which is short for JeHova (JayHova) meaning the God or Saviour. Rocafella is also an interesting name… one of the main Illuminati leaders is called Rockafella.
When a friend alerted me to the suspicious hand signals exhibited by rappers Jay Z, Sean Combs and NBA star Ron Artest in the above pics, the first thing I thought was that the handshakes looked like some ol' regular hood greetings to me. But of course I was wrong, as the friend pointed out.
He told me he was positive the greetings held some special significance because he had heard that Sean, Jigga and Ron were secret members of the Masons. Well, if these Masonic handshakes are supposed to be so secret then how is it that non-members know what they look like?
Then I thought well, maybe the Masons is an exclusive down low club. It would not be far outside of the realm of possibility considering that we are talking about Diddy and Jay Z.
But it turns out the Masons are not a secret society of well-to-do homos at all. It's a brotherhood of powerful men, sort of like a fraternity, who keep the power and the money within the society.
Members of the Masons are alleged to be such powerful public figures as Barack Obama, Jay Z, Sean Combs, Russell Simmons, Kobe Bryant, Michael Jackson, Ron Artest, Jamie Foxx, etc. In other words, black men with money and influence.
I Googled Masonic handshakes to see if there was anything to all of this, and what I found were examples of greetings that were difficult to distinguish from the normal handshakes, fist bumps and daps that you see brothers (and the Obamas) exchange every day. But who am I to question? I'm just repeating what I was told by the friend who has studied Masonic handshakes exhaustively.
I will do some more research on this subject and get back to you. And then again, I might not…

The Discovery doctrine
by BlackfullaRoar in Awareness, ComUnity, Education, Efforts All Over, Environment, Freeman Movement, Get involved, Get Involved, Grow n Glow, Historicals, Justice, Land, Poly-ticks, Revolution, Sharing n Caring, Truth?, Uncategorized Tags: Aboriginal title, International law, Legal doctrines and principles, Property law
The Discovery doctrine is a concept of public international law expounded by the United States Supreme Court in a series of decisions, most notably Johnson v. M'Intosh in 1823. Chief Justice John Marshall justified the way in which colonial powers laid claim to lands belonging to sovereign indigenous nations during the Age of Discovery. Under it, title to lands lay with the government whose subjects explored and occupied a territory whose inhabitants were not subjects of a European Christian monarch. The doctrine has been primarily used to support decisions invalidating or ignoring aboriginal possession of land in favor of colonial or post-colonial governments.
The 1823 case was the result of collusive lawsuits where land speculators worked together to make claims to achieve a desired result.[1][2] John Marshall explained the Court's reasoning. The supposedly inferior character of native cultures was a reason for the doctrine having been used.
1 Colonial history
2 United States law
The origins of the doctrine can be traced to Pope Nicholas V's issuance of the papal bull Romanus Pontifex in 1452. The bull allowed Portugal to claim and conquer lands in West Africa. Pope Alexander VI extended to Spain the right to conquer newly-found lands in 1493, with the papal bull Inter caetera, after Christopher Columbus had already begun doing so. Arguments between Portugal and Spain led to the Treaty of Tordesillas which clarified that only non-Christian lands could thus be taken, as well as drawing a line of demarcation to allocate potential discoveries between the two powers.[3]
[United States law
According to the United States Supreme Court's decision in Johnson v. M'Intosh, this theory of Christian expansion and possession of newly discovered lands, despite native presence, was one by which all colonial powers operated. Chief Justice Marshall, writing the decision, held that the United Kingdom had taken title to the lands which constituted the United States when the British discovered them. Marshall pointed to the exploration charters given to John Cabot as proof that the British had operated under the doctrine.[3] The tribes which occupied the land were, at the moment of discovery, no longer completely sovereign and had no property rights but rather merely held a right of occupancy. Further, only the discovering nation or its successor could take possession of the land from the natives by conquest or purchase. Natives could not sell the land to private citizens but only to the discovering government.[citation needed]
The doctrine was used in numerous other cases as well. With Cherokee Nation v. Georgia, it supported the concept that tribes were not independent states but "domestic dependent nations".[3] The decisions in Oliphant v. Suquamish Indian Tribe and Duro v. Reina used the doctrine to prohibit tribes from criminally prosecuting first non-Indians, then Indians who weren't a member of the prosecuting tribe.[4]

Every time Bilderberg orders war, the guns begin to shoot.

Globalists Call For 'Big War'
James P. Tucker Jr
Article follwed by an interesting discussion in progress.
ST. MORITZ, Switzerland—The secret globalist group "Bilderberg" called for a big war by expanding the turmoil in Libya into a full-scale conflict involving the entire Middle East except for Israel. This is a grim and bloody outlook, because, historically, every time Bilderberg orders war, the guns begin to shoot. In 1991, President George H.W. Bush followed orders and attacked Iraq in Persian Gulf War I. He lost to peace candidate Bill Clinton, who followed orders and invaded Yugoslavia.
The list is endless: Every war dating back to and including World War II has been ordered by Bilderberg. Although they did not start calling themselves Bilderberg until 1954, Rockefeller and Rothschild cronies had the ear of President Franklin Roosevelt when the White House baited the Japanese into conducting a surprise attack on Pearl Harbor on Sunday, Dec. 7, 1941.
Similarly, President Harry Truman was pressured into going to war in Korea, and then Lyndon Johnson involved the U.S. in Vietnam.
Johnson seemed to enjoy cruelty. The same draft law used in World War II had been revived in 1946, making all able-bodied men aged 18-38 eligible for combat. A college student could finish his degree but must then report for duty. As a matter of policy, LBJ said students could finish their entire education, including postgraduate work, before reporting. And no one older than 27 would be drafted.
The result: Dick Cheney and others avoided service by remaining in college until the age of 27. So the body bags were mostly filled by young boys with no more than a high school education.
"It will have to be a big war involving several countries to advance our goals of a global economy," said Keith Alexander, director of the U.S. National Security Agency. "But the pressure to end the war in Libya is non-stop, mostly because of that damn Kucinich." He was referring to Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio), whose bill to end the invasion of Libya was defeated just before Congress adjourned for a week on June 3.
"But look at all the votes [148] he got," Alexander said. "This is dangerous. Congress may cut or even eliminate war funding, and our soldiers are not even fighting."
Bilderberg's goal of expanding the turmoil surrounding the invasion of Libya into a huge bloodletting in the Mideast will be helped, they say, by their plan to maintain the global recession through 2012.
"The recession may keep coverage [of Bilderberg] down," said John Kerr, a member of the British House of Lords and deputy chairman of Royal Dutch Shell. "Europe has many independent papers, but they go low-budget. We have made calls to Rupert Murdoch, still our good friend," he said of the world's largest owner of newspapers.
Kerr and the others were to be bitterly disappointed when confronted by angry crowds as their helicopters landed at the resort on Thursday, June 9. Most had planned to arrive Wednesday afternoon, after leaving their "cover meeting" of NATO countries in Brussels, Belgium. But frequent, heavy rains kept the copters grounded. Bilderberg traditionally has a "cover meeting" so, for example, outgoing Defense Secretary Robert Gates can attend a NATO session and slip, unnoticed, into the Bilderberg meeting. Gates addressed Bilderberg on Friday, June 10.

Gates had said the same things to the NATO crowd he later said at Bilderberg, calling for more aerial combat actions by allies even as the United States confines itself to a backup role. Gates called for more effort by the Netherlands, Spain and Turkey and urged Germany and Poland to join the war.
Gates's hour-long speech at Bilderberg was mentioned by The Financial Times. His audience, however, was described only as a "gathering of dignitaries." He said the European NATO members face "the very real possibility of collective military irrelevance" as a superpower unless they contribute more money and troops.
Washington has frequently requested, "with exasperation," that European NATO countries meet the alliance's benchmarks for defense spending, Gates said and called the situation in the current campaign in Libya "unacceptable." He said "the blunt reality is there will be dwindling appetite and patience in the U.S. Congress—and in the American body politic—to expend increasingly precious funds on behalf of nations that are apparently unwilling to devote the necessary resources to make the necessary changes to be serious and capable partners in their own defense."
NATO has degenerated into a "two-tiered" alliance with the United States and a small group of European allies doing the tough jobs while others benefit from NATO's protection without bearing a fair share of costs and risks, Gates said. "This is no longer a hypothetical worry," Gates said in one of the harshest speeches ever delivered at Bilderberg.
When Bill Clinton, a Bilderberg attendee, was president, NATO became the UN's standing army, operating anywhere in the world on the orders of the Security Council. Under the UN, NATO invaded Yugoslavia. Under its charter, NATO is a defensive army only. But the first weapon fired in anger was an offensive war under direction of the UN.
Bilderberg has forgiven Barack Obama for hesitancy about what is now "his war." They understand the political delicacy in Washington but, as one said, "he's a good soldier and he'll follow orders."
Obama was praised for doing Bilderberg errands on his visit to a summit of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum in Hawaii. A major Bilderberg goal of establishing a world government is to create an Asian-Pacific Union following an American Union, both patterned after the European Union superstate. Even as Bilderberg gathered, OPEC nations were following orders to keep oil prices pumped up to assist the goal of raising U.S. prices to $7 a gallon. While making clucking sounds about holding down prices, OPEC allowed a slight, momentary dip as a public relations gesture.
But Saudi Arabia maintains 3 million barrels a day of spare capacity. This did not fool Frank Verrastro, director of the energy program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, which is traditionally a Bilderberg collaborator.
"I think there's going to be a lot of theatrics, but beyond that I don't think it affects the outcome," Verrastro said. "If OPEC becomes less cohesive, that means each country goes its own way on production."
"All these countries need money," said Fadel Ghett, oil analyst at Oppenheimer & Co. "They will produce as much as they can get away with without destroying demand."
The French agreed in principle to subscribe to new issues of Greek sovereign debt to replace maturing bonds if all creditors do the same. The move could provide a way forward for involving private creditors in a Greek rescue program. But it falls short of a German demand for them to agree voluntarily on an extension of bond maturities. The French proposal echoes the thinking of the European Central Bank, which claims that a rollover of Greek debt, rather than a "reprofiling" with extended maturities, would be a good way for private creditors to be involved in a new deal. French banks are among Greece's largest creditors.
But the German government reaffirmed its determination to persuade bondholders to contribute more to a rescue. They called for a seven-year voluntary extension of maturities.
Jean-Claude Trichit, president of the European Central Bank, told fellow Bilderbergers that Europe needs a "Eurozone treasury secretary" with independent authority over all EU banks to avoid further crises like those of Greece, Ireland, Portugal and Spain. There is no time, when a crisis erupts, for the nations to come to a voluntary agreement, he said, because such a treasury department would have to act swiftly and with authority to impose bailout actions.
There was modest attention to China and Japan, relative newcomers to Bilderberg. In response to the explosions in Japan's nuclear power plants, there was talk of imposing global rules on safety inspections. On China, there was talk of enjoying huge profits by bringing materials from slave-wage countries in Africa to be made into finished products by Chinese labor (itself relatively cheap).The finished product would be sold in the United States, where unemployment rates unofficially exceed 15 percent.
Craig Mundi, a Microsoft executive, complained about China establishing rules that favor building electronic gadgets at home and selling them without foreign competition. Another who Bilderberg tried to hide by keeping his name off its "official list" was Bill Gates, a self-made billionaire computer nerd who founded Microsoft.
the nations of these regions will not cooperate, and are wasting their resources in the meantime. this is why they are a threat to globalism, and why they are being invaded and taken over. they will be made to mature, or will be destroyed in the process.
once there are strong enough footholds in the middle east, expect the nwo to focus heavily on pakistan, and trickle ever further south into africa. most of the rest of the world has taken their place at the big boy table, that's why these slow learners are being targeted so heavily. they are in the way of progress.
jeff Reply:
NWO Shill – God, I can't believe your comments, and how much I totally disagree with them.
everyone has always known this was eventually going to happen. look at the middle east, what do you have? two religions, equally stupid and vicious, warring over valuable real estate.
Response – Really? I didn't know this was going to happen. Also, what is your religion that is so smart and non-vicious? Also, who do they war with that isn't backed by some country that wants to influence the region? Next
Response – Who won't they cooperate with? Aren't they and haven't they been selling their resources to us and other countries? Also, who gives a shit if they are a threat to globalism? I sure don't! Also, they will be made to mature? or be destroyed? Are you kidding me? Next
Response – If you personally want "progress" and are such a "fast learner", why don't you let everyone on this forum know when you are shipping out to go over there and kick their asses. I want to know (with daily updates) where your unit is stationed and also how many of these "little boys" you have killed the day before. I also want to know how you wake up every morning, getting a chill up your leg, just thinking about your first kill of the day. Otherwise – Go Fuck Yourself!
BiGpharmakillZ Reply:
I agree jeff. NWOshill is just that. He loves genocide, and doesn't care who has to die, as long as it isn't him.
A pathetic excuse for a human being like all the rest of them.
Bigpharma – Thanks for the support. It's nice to know there are REAL HUMAN BEINGS ON THIS PLANET.
I truly do love this world and its people. These people in the middle east are real human beings. They may have problems, but who doesn't? If NWO Shill doesn't respect them "playing with the big boys" then I have an alternative idea – kick them out of the UN. Personally, I wish they would kick us out. I didn't vote for them! I DON"T LIKE THEM. THEY SUCK.
Has anyone even noticed that they have ASSUMED POWER OVER THE ENTIRE WORLD? SCREW THEM! TOTALLY!
Anyone in this country who aligns themselves with these people had better understand ONE THING. YOU DO SO AT YOUR OWN PERIL! There will be a day of redemption, and it won't be pretty. FOR YOU OR YOUR FAMILY!
I grew up when this was a great country. I'm not willing to give that up, OK? If you want to kill me, then GO AHEAD! I'm ready and not afraid to die. You son-of-a bitches are KILLING the future for my little girl and……..FUCK YOU ALL……if that's what you have PLANNED. I'm tired of it!
NWO Shill Reply:
everyone has always known the middle east would boil over. my religion is the only smart religion- no religion. also, i'm confused… do you people believe israel pulls america's strings, or vice versa? i can't get a clear answer.
the people of that region won't cooperate with each other, and for the stupidest possible reason. they are concerned with the final destination of each other's souls, so they decide to kill each other. you don't see that as base and immature thinking? and in wasting their resources, i mean they keep car bombing each other, blowing up property, setting oil fields ablaze, etc., for what? to demonstrate their piety? we don't cut babies from the bellies of infidels in public squares, here in the civilized world.
the reason you should give a shit whether or not they are a threat to globalism is that we have a global economy. everyone is so afraid of a one world government, but rarely realize that the governments of the world are all completely at the mercy of the global economy. if opec dumps the dollar, the us is completely fucked.
i don't covet death or genocide. i just want humans to unify, and reach their full potential, and i believe that those people who would deny this vision from their future generations have had enough time be selfish and myopic, have wasted enough time and resources, and must not be allowed to continue down this path.
stop giving their bullshit religions any credibilty,
and judge them by their actions, out of the context of the beliefs they hold.
you are all so quick to blame your "oppressors," and so slow to make realistic, pragmatic, objective, critical, rational observations of the world around you.
FAUL McCartney Reply:
@SHILL- You mean one wants to Save Souls, and one wants to $ell souls.. and one wants to Annihilate those that $ell souls,… 3 sides to every pyramid,, right?
NWO Shill – I want to answer you.
The first thing I want to say is that I respect your opinion and that as a human being, I truly love you. Don't get me wrong, I can disagree with you and still respect you at the same time.
As far as Israel pulling our strings, I believe that someone is pulling our strings. That seems perfectly clear. If it is Zionists or Martians, does it really matter? The fact of the matter is, shouldn't we be pulling our own strings?
I am concerned with my soul, as you say. I don't think that is immature thinking.
The idea that they are setting off car bombs or setting oil fields ablaze might have to do with being occupied. A lot like the TSA is starting to do in this country.
I have to say – your response is TRULY informed and very intelligent. I also feel that it is well thought out and emotional (in a good way).
When you talk about globalism, I have a real problem with that. I do not believe in it on the basic level, and that is because we as human beings are different culturally, spiritually, and economically. I'm not afraid if OPEC does whatever they want. Truly, I'm not afraid of much of anything. Anything that anyone does on this planet causes a reaction -it's just a matter of seeing it and responding to it as best as one can.
We are being driven by fear into this one world government. That is not the only way. But we are being led to believe that that is the truth. Look at the truth. This paradigm of a one world government has totally fucked up EVERYTHING. These are the same people that everyone wants to hand the world over to. Are you kidding me?
And lastly – I agree with you – I want to make pragmatic, objective, and rational observations about the world around me.
I also believe that I want a government that is representative of the people, like our government used to be. If there is to be a WORLD GOVERNMENT, then fine, let it adopt the United States Constitution as its charter. How could anyone argue with this position. If we are truly about spreading democracy around the world, is there any other answer?
It also means though, that we are THE SHINING BEACON ON THE HILL. In other words, no more TSA or Patriot Act or Homeland Security. No oppression of American citizens………The End

NWO, actually I agree w/part of what you said in the 1st post.
Afterall, let us all remember christianity & islam both came from the same animal (in this case, THE SERPENT)… or the HEBREW RELIGION… which said it was okay to rape, pillage, steal, ENSLAVE & commit mass genocide on any population that had something they wanted: LAND, etc…. that is: anyone who was did not descended from JACOB (which coincidentally in Hebrew means SUPPLANTER & transliterated means "deceiver").
But that's about where it stops.
YOU FAIL TO REALIZE THAT "BIG BOY TABLE" YOU REFER TO AS "GLOBALISM" IS WHAT MOST CALL MARXISM… & WHAT I CALL ZIONISM.
The Global "unification" eutopic dreamers envision can never happen… at least not without a messianic leader. How ironic that even siblings & neighbors can't get along, yet marxists think we can BUILD EUTOPIA THROUGH A GLOBAL GOVT.!
Evidently ZIONIST PROPAGANDA has "dreamers" so fooled they fail to notice reality… EUTOPIA CAN ONLY BE CREATED W/BRUTE FORCE (or in this case a global police force. How do you expect different cultures w/opposing religious values to get along?
What's Eutopia to the few ZIONIST BANKERS that control everything… will be hell for the subjects they rule. Just look to the 100 million + that died under COMMUNIST EUTOPIA… AS A RESULT OF LENIN, TROTSKY & STALIN.
Instead of saying NWO shill, just use ZIONIST shill, because it's pretty evident to me where your "ideas" came from.
BTW: You must be aware where the Supreme of Humanity (who will make legal decisions for all of mankind under your globalist eutopa) will be located, right?
Ben Gurion (Israel's marxist founder) explained in perfectly in his 1962 interview w/Life Magazine:
"With the exception of the U.S.S.R. as a federated Eurasian State, all other continents will become UNITED IN A WORLD ALLIANCE at whose disposal will be an INTERNATIONAL POLICE FORCE. ALL ARMIES WILL BE ABOLISHED and there will be NO MORE WARS. IN JERUSALEM, THE UNITED NATIONS WILL BUILD A SHRINE TO THE PROPHETS to serve the federated union of all continents; THIS WILL BE THE SEAT OF THE SUPREME COURT OF MANKIND, to settle all controversies among the federated continents, as prophesied by Isaiah…
Interesting it will be JERUSALEM… Didn't some prophets predict the JEWISH ANTI-MESSIAH would make decisions from Israel?
I feel very comfortable knowing that ROTHCHILD BUILT & DONATED that building Gurion spoke about…
"Go Fuck Yourself!"
"I respect your opinion and that as a human being, I truly love you."
"There will be a day of redemption, and it won't be pretty. FOR YOU OR YOUR FAMILY"
"I truly do love this world and its people"
"zionist."
-doberman
"you keep using that word. i don't think it means what you think it means."
-inigo montoya
at least give me this- instead of just preaching to the choir, i'm attempting to make others question their own viewpoints, instead of reinforcing them, whether it ultimately strengthens their convictions or changes their minds, i am putting forth a challenge that is not as easy as using your peers to echo your own beliefs. i am not a zionist, p.s. (see above posts).
Jeff,Nwoshill AND bigpharma,,are trolls.. do not trust neither. they are from the same cloth
If you think I am a shill, then I have little hope for you.
Also as I wrote below. You are truly an idiot.

There is absolutely no case against Libya. It's based on organized propaganda campaign by the Zionist media. Obama is not to blame. he is a powerless man. he just follows orders from his Zionist masters. people who are leading a holocaust of Muslims worldwide right now wants democracy in Muslim world?
Emus, you have too much faith in fairytales about US presidents. They are VERY MUCH TO BLAME… especially Bama (& the Bushies)… they've all WILLING SOLD THEMSELVES TO ZIONISTS.
In this case, Bama was raised to be ZIONIST BROWN NOSER by his skank whore mother-cum-CIA operative. From birth, he was dedicated & indoctrinated into ZIONISM/MARXISM. He serves his masters very well & has been rewarded for his loyalty.
Bama is commonly known all over DC as being a fag, as well as a crack addict. He & Rahmbo (the ballerina-dual-Israeli citizen) are FAR MORE THAN FRIENDS… & both have memberships at a Chicago gay gentlemen's club. Bama's lover from Trinity (whom he "hooked" up w/thru Wright's "Down Low Club") was murdered (execution style) during the 07/08 campaign & even the victim's family & friends say Bama & the Dem party were behind the murder… Bama also used male prostitutes while campaigning for president… & one came out in a press conference to say not only did he & Bama "give each other pleasure" in the campaign limo… but Bama couldn't put down the crack pipe while enjoying a white male sucking his mulatto cock.
Bama is anything but a muslim…. or a friend to Islam. His master is ZIONISM. That is GLOBAL ZIONISM, not Israeli nationalistic/Zionism. There is a huge difference.
Israel is just the "stepping stone" or what you could call a patsy… created by & used by THE INTERNATIONAL ZIONIST BANKERS to foment war & the need for world disarmament… to get the world to accept the need for GLOBAL GOVT. CONTROLLED BY INTERNATIONAL ZIONIST BANKERS (i.e. "fake jews).
Bama forged his pact WITH THE SERPENT!

oh aren't we special…first of all everyone is religious. its basically a world view…so you are saying that your religious belief is superior to everyone elses….how narcissistic of you…i might remind you that the greatest number of lives taken in wars and conflicts has been by the religion of atheism…you see if atheism is right then might is right and moral codes are quaintly outdated….atheists want the benefits of there not being a God but not the constraints…oh and by the way, if we are strictly following logic then God is a necessity…
god is a necessity-
show me your logical proof and i'll gladly refute it

These scum call for war but never risk their own scrawny necks. Imagine how good it would be if there was no war and these warmongering scum ceased to exist. They only want it to profit from arms sales and plundering of natural resources within invaded countries. Meanwhile folk sit blithely at home watching American idol and other crappy distractions. What a world!

Well actually what I can see is they want to make a wide scale war in order to use the others to dissolve Israel and then wash their hands like Pontius Pilatus. The funny thing is that parts of moss ad help those who put them on the food plate of getting eaten up. And this tiny fraction must be controlled by brit intel .
Anyhow It takes extraordinary stupidity to help to finance wars , help the brits to built up terrorists in order to weaken USA and help former superpower England s to get bag their colony America and later on when every thing is in ashes former protectorates – just to
think that when there is the fire on in the whole Middle East that nothing will happen there
deserves stupidity oscar .
. Stupid sheep's who feed the wolfs who will eat them up using the others at the end. Alex Jones must see it and many wisdom people to. It is even written in the revelation bocks. I don't fear to speak out the truth because human mind can be very protective and very very strong .
Everything is focus that we don't see how strong is our mind and that when we are good can prevent stuff. This elites fear that. Not money makes power.
The mind is the secret.
Alex Jones is the warning voice driven by inner peace and I never even one listen that he made racial comments or was disrespectful against other religions. Him, HIS MOVEMENT – ALL THOSE WHO SAY NO TO WAR and fema camps are on right side of history. We will win. I am sure of that 100 percent.
liberty will be recovered .no nwo – but liberty and peace.
In internet times it seems to be clear for humankind that not American people are to blame they were intrigued into wars and their Intel is taken over. And false flag terrorism serves of making road for total control of masses and totalitarism. The osama they killed was someone else – other ears fingers, all hoax and this anwar al awlaki is some framer boy who had many interesting contacts during human studies at university and was already invited in pentagon.
But since republications tock over there will be a u turn – tea party is the winner movement. There will be no now and I see America will go out from it with two punches in the eye.
The rest betters sooner than better sits with the winner movement on one table and does not serve the wolfs who same like third Reich planning here very big. but I have great expectations that eventually secrets of satanic rituals are released soon involving high rang politicians and their intriguing games to black mail American politicians into treason and that eventually before things run hot public eye will be getting new information's about the dead of late princess Diana who was a defender of peace tolerance and definitely not opposed to America under sharp optics even a tea party girl.i don't doubt – a few hard core texas boys still can very much.
Best candidate from my optics in libertarian Ron Paul. Even so there is not to much focus on him thanks to Gestapo like controlled main stream press – he speaks truth. The guy has peace in his heart, stands for life and not for taking it and is a hope to make things return into balance and he looks to me like he does not dance and won't sell out independence declaration all the other candidates with exception of Sarah Palin who can be good as vize president and Mit Romney who is very presidential and seems to be ok and clear and good person – the rest are out of cuestion and are already bought by them- even the other woman candidate Bachmann – some soft player who will dance like they tell here an nwo framer puppet I can feel that . sarah palin might not know everything but she is sincere and not a traitor
and my very best wishes to alex jones
I pray every day that you are save and sound
Truth I Serve – God Bless You
There are many Americans that believe as you do! I DO!
Please don't think bad of all of us. We're trying to wake people up. It's not going as well as we would like, but we're trying. Please pray for us, as we will pray for you.
Again – God bless you and yours!

All the US citizens have to do, in order to stop these totally destructive foreign wars, is vote for Ron Paul. He is an honorable veteran, a faithful husband and family man, so consistent as to make one question his Humanity, totally against the true enemies of the US (the Federal Reserve and atheist NWO leftists), actually had a real job that he worked very hard at (baby doctor), is unapproachable with regards to honor and integrity, intelligent in the ways of history and financial matters, and ANTI_WAR! The only reason the typical US citizen votes against Ron Paul is because they are PRO-WAR (and atheist, communist, etc…).
Will people wake up to the fact that US citizens are pro-war in general, which means that they approve of murdering, raping, and pillaging other countries in order to maintain their plastic lifestyle. This is what you get when 80% of the population follows a philosophy invented by the self chosen people (Christianity). The typical US citizen is fat, lazy, ugly, perverse, dishonest, cowardly, atheist, narcissist, and completely full of s%*t.
Americans fully deserve who they elect and continually re-elect, because these most low forms of life (politicians) truly represent what Americans are really all about. After the self chosen people make the US attack Syria and Iran this Fall (or earlier), the full scale Hydrogen Bomb war with Russia and China will ensue, which will eradicate billions of Humans, and probably result in the extinction of all Human life within less than one hundred years. It makes you wonder what brand of airplane glue the Bilderbergers are snorting these daze.
jlynch2 – WOW
Are you kidding me? Americans are pro-war in general? Blame it on Christianity?
Your first paragraph was correct on the Ron Paul part, so don't get me wrong. But than you went WAY OFF THE RESERVATION. Let me help. Most of the people ONLY LISTEN OR WATCH the mainstream media. They are the ones that deserve your righteous indignation, the MSM.
All you say after that is probably true. There are many GOOD PEOPLE in this country who are being deceived. I don't doubt that. But keep your indignation towards the EVIL ONES, not the uninformed ones. There's a big difference!
BE STRONG JEFF. if you see Sun-glassed people staring at you.. STARE AT THEM BACK WITH no sunglasses SHOW NO FEAR.. that scares the shit out of them.. especially when they have their Global Gang Graffiti on their cars… a.k.a FREEMASONS
You are truly an idiot.
Please excuse me, but if it looks like a dog, smells like a dog, and wags its tail when you pet it or give it a snack, it is a dog! The citizens of the US mostly all had access to the internet for at least the past four years, and who did they nominate: bomb Iran and start WWIII now McPain; and bomb Pakistan and start WWIII soon OBombya. They gave consistent anti-war proponents Dennis Kucinich 1% of the Democrat vote and Ron Paul 9% of the Republican vote.
What is someone, with any sense of realism based upon observation, supposed to deduce? So there is a very small percentage of US citizens capable of free thought and the ability to read, analyze, and reason, so what? My statements reflect what the majority of US citizens are perceived to be; please remember that only 80% of America is Christian brain washed.
Europeans used to believe the very simple fact that they were created by the Sun and Earth. Consider the simple scientific fact that the Sun and Earth are billions of years old, and Humanity is maybe a few million years old, and please do not discuss space ships or some other BS. If you accept the concept of something never being created out of nothing, then you also have to conclude that the Sun and Earth possess (super) consciousness and Free Will, since their creation (Humanity) does.
However, Western society has lost their Pantheist ways, and now believes fairy tales propagated by the self chosen people, who also happen to have brought US all to the precipice of self destruction. Go ahead and deny what you see, because that is what allows the self chosen people, who are just 2% of the total population, to control the rest of the population. Bend over and accept their wisdom, while they drain your life blood and soul.

By the way, I am weary of all the talk of how China will soon be the #1 producer in the world. How do you think it got that way? It still depends on the American consumer for its very existence. Don't blame us for this turn of events, as we were sold out by our Judas politicians. Maybe if we ever get our industry back, we will use it more wisely, and produce the things we need to survive comfortably, and not so much worthless junk.
I am a "Green" Christian and believe the LORD, when he says that he is the living GOD, or the GOD of that which is alive. He has many times revealed himself to be the GOD of the organic, and not the synthetic. All the same, we do not make the mistake of worshiping him as nature, but rather as the designer or creator of nature! The sun does not think! The one who made it however does. You seem to be a thoughtful man, and I'm sure you think that what you say is wise. After all an enlightened person rises above the mythology, and is rational, right? That is the same rationale that the Illuminate believe in. I'll put my money on the LORD. I am reluctant to mention his name here, because I don't like his name, being vilified or denigrated by those who cannot see! I see that many like to blame much of the worlds problems, on religion. {Mao, and Stalin were atheists, and they had no compunctions about slaughtering millions of their fellow human beings,} However, what the critics of religion fail to understand is, that people who are sincerely Christians, and not in name only, do not practice these hypocrisies. Take a look around, do you actually think that this all came about by itself? I hope you will reconsider, as a wise man I'm sure that you are not too established in your opinions, to evolve and still search for the truth. I have read many authors, such Karl Marx, Adolph Hitler, Thomas Jefferson ,and many more. I have studied Buddhism, Hinduism, Scientology, Judaism, and some things about Islam. I realize that many horrible acts have been committed in the name of religion, but not by those who were sincere believers. I have after all my research, and life experiences come to believe in JESUS CHRIST. The one thing about Christianity that draws me towards it, is that it is found with the heart, and not the brain. The rest is just mental masturbation! I do not wish to offend you, nor am I offended by you. I am sure you mean well. For what it is worth there is much that you are right about. I would however hope, that you can be more circumspect, when it comes to how you craft your criticisms.
Isn't it odd, that these conversations, frequently come around to religion. This is no accident you know, but a manifestation of an inevitable truth. Like it or not, this world is in a spiritual crisis, and it must be solved by understanding this inescapable truth. I am sure that this will more or less agitate many of my fellow subscribers, and for that I am truly sorry.
P.S. watch EXPELLED by Ben Stein, he is a very smart man, and he believes in intelligent design. There is much scientific evidence that leads one to see the truth of my assertions. As always, NOTHING BUT LOVE!

Judging by the posts here, it looks like the Globalists have already won. Religious conflict has always been a powerful tool in destabilizing any region anywhere. People naturally fight for what they believe to be true and rarely compromise when it comes to their faith (or lack of faith).
Distractions of other kinds work too (the "race" card), but none as powerful as getting people to fight over faith.
darrenobi Says:
all opinions are relevent but you all miss the point.
to see the the truth one must know the lie.
the NWO and there global wars are distractions.
They build there underground cities not to escape disaster but to avoid the lynch mobs.
The euro zone was set up to fail, to push people into violence, more souls for the dark side.
More wars and more energy for there masters.
More division the better for them, becareful what you draw from religous texts, anything that hints at division no matter what it is , is there agenda.
I live in a place/country where most despise war and violence.
If you are born in a place full of violence and those that seek war, maybe it reflects the lesson you need to learn.
The wave approaches the chaos across our solar system increases.
The chaos on earth grows both natural and man made.
Violence hate and anger are the road to the darkside,fear.
In a waking dream my spirit guides told me not to fear even in death you will particapate in the awakening, they can only kill the physical body, your soul is yours.
Unless you give it away thru fear.
The elite live in fear, Why?
because they will lose the earth and there control of it,and they know it.
Only evil seeks control.
Remember the ultimate state of negative consciousness is WISHFULL THINKING.
Comet elenin has been sent to lead the way for the wave, its first target will be the control system operating from saturn thru the moon, see the effects its had on saturn (satan).
The unseen evil enemy knows its days are numbered.
Half the people will die from there planned eugenics, or possibly they will ascend to a new plane of energy and reality beyond there control.
better to convince people now while there still vulnerable that they will always controll you.
Life is about lessons thats why you experience these realities, to evolve.
Let the unseen evil play there childish games because its a zero sum game.
they lose either way.
They are not the masters of the universe just the next level.
unconditional love is about respecting all and loving all wether good or evil.
Service to others understands that events must run there course no matter what the out come.
Let go of your fear, only evil lives in fear.

at last!!!
a good comparison of what is land rights and what is the more insultingly and falsely called native title.
as gary foley and others have said for many years, 'native title is not land rights'. it does not even come close to real land rights for the traditional owners of our ancient lands.
the major difficulties of comparing the two systems was that mainly it became very very difficult to explain the differences to those who had a limited legal knowledge and/or a more limited understanding of land for the traditional owners. there was a new-age primitivism that clouded many enquiring minds but that eventually brought many conversations to an inconclusive close.
the gove case 1972 and heard by j. blackburn found that land rights did not exist when it came to mining claims. then pm billy mcmahon strongly put to parliament that land rights would never exist, hence our tent embassy was formed. whitlam, not satisfied with that outcome then set up the woodward royal commission to look at land rights in the nt. his findings were given to whitlam but the cia-arranged dismissal of whitlam then allowed fraser, much to his credit, to bring the nt act in. john howard spoke quite strongly against the act being brought in but fraser, quite correctly, ignored his racist and rancid statements and proceeded. howard never forgave him and i believe howard's later venal and personal actions led him to grab back the lands of the nt. among other reasons too, of course.
mabo 1992 found for the meriam torres strait islanders and this had a flow-on effect to the mainland land claims. then came the wik people win in 1996 that found that traditional land owners did not lose their lands to pastoralists and others. howard and his minions were now in power and they went ballistic with the high court decision. the coalition government decided then that the high court could no longer be trusted to continue to back the invaders as they had done so for nearly a hundred years. howard and tim fischer then came up with the infamous and racist 10 point plan to allow for, as they put it, 'buckets of extinguishment' against tha aboriginal traditional owners.
with some little change the bill made its way to the senate whereby, because of the then numbers, the final decision was to be made by senator brian harridine and he called on father frank brennan to assist him. two non-aboriginal men, steeped in white christianity, were charged with either rejecting the bill in toto or in attempting to amend the bill by cutting the bill off at its knees. we were calling for complete rejection but our voices would not be heard.
harridine and brennan decided to not consult with those aborigines, including noel pearson who referred to the coalition government as 'racist scum', because they did not want a 'racist election.' the 10 point plan became the 6 point plan to stop racist elections! these two men have cost aborigines dearly since those days and they continue still to do so. what they did not seem to understand is that for my people, every bloody election is a racist event. especially in the rural areas where land claims are before the tribunal.
governments around the country listened and learned well on how to win on every land claim that came before them, and that was to keep the cases out of the courts and set up negotiating bodies that they could quite easily control. real land rights has been reduced to indigenous land use agreements that now only allow for negotiated agreements that only allows for cultural access but with no ownership of the land or its resources.
we badly need to return to the land rights as a proper human rights procedure. the krudd and gillard governments are more than prepared to continue to steal our birthrights from us. the yorta yorta land claim was naught but a travesty of justice, as so many others have also been. the court found against their cultural continuance on their lands, a complete travesty of natural justice, and then the victorian government of the time recognised enough of their cultural continuance to do a negotiated theft of their lands.
strane thing, white justice. we are never ever allowed to win.
we want rights, not some smoke-and-mirrors theft of what is ours and has been gor more than 60 000 years.
always was, always will be – aboriginal land.

Indigenous victim still waiting for justice

By Chris Jenkins, Perth

Since March 2009, it has been unclear whether promising footballer Rex Bellotti Junior will need to have his leg amputated after he was run over by a police four wheel drive in Albany, Western Australia.
The Indigenous boy, then 15, was leaving a wake when the police vehicle, driving on the wrong side of the road, struck him with sufficient force to drag him under the van, breaking his right femur and inflicting lacerations to his legs.
Though severe, Bellotti Jr's injuries did not compel the officers involved to stop and assist. They instead left the boy in the care of family and passersby. Fortunately, among them was an off-duty medic who gave him immediate attention.
Thirteen hours passed before Bellotti Jr arrived in surgery, in which time irreparable damage to his legs had already been done.
He was then transferred for treatment in Royal Perth Hospital, where he was subjected to a "random" strip search after medications went missing in his shared ward.
His family has since moved to Perth to be close to their son and campaign for justice from the state government and against the racial discrimination that permeates the justice system in Western Australia.
Neither Bellotti Jr nor other key witnesses were even interviewed by police until April 2009, more than a month after the incident — and this only after The Sunday Times had published an article on the whole debacle.
An Albany newspaper article published four days after the incident quoted police officers saying "it appeared the teenager had deliberately walked in front of the ongoing car" which they claimed had "slowed down to 40km/hr".
For more than a month, local police involved in the incident seemingly saw no need to add further testimonies to their own. But statements taken since from other witnesses have refuted the version of events given by police.
An internal inquiry performed by the Western Australian Police Force in October 2009 concluded that while errors in police handling had occurred, it was "satisfied that every effort had been made by the WA Police to undertake a thorough and transparent investigation into these matters".
However, the Corruption and Crime Commission (CCC) slammed these "satisfying" conclusions in November 2009. It said: "Given the injuries suffered by Rex Jr, it would be hard to accept that the lack of obtaining statements is merely 'an oversight'."
However, the CCC fell short of acknowledging the racist motivations behind this sickening case of injustice.
Rex Bellotti Senior told the National Indigenous Times in June 2009 that no internal inquiry would achieve justice for his son. "Police investigating police again," he said. "At the end of the day they can exonerate each other … they've got each others' backs."
Accusations of racial discrimination to Indigenous people are hardly new for the WA police and the justice system.
Other recent scandals include the charging of a then-12-year-old Indigenous boy with receiving a 70 cent chocolate as "stolen property" in November 2009 and the ongoing Deaths in Custody Watch Committee campaign seeking justice for the family of Mr Ward, who died in horrendous circumstances in 2008 in a prison transport van.
Alongside these stands the tragedy inflicted on Rex Bellotti Jr and his family, who have been left until now without counselling services, without compensation and without a formal apology or recognition of guilt on the part of the state government or the WA police.
For Bellotti Sr, there is no doubt about the role institutional racism played in the treatment his son and family had suffered.
He told Green Left Weekly: "If I was driving a four wheel drive, like the one that I own, and ran over a young white child while driving on the wrong side of the road … and you can ask any of our Indigenous people here or in the eastern states as well … we would be considered guilty until proven innocent.
"My son and my family didn't ask for any of this. We feel like we've gotten nowhere yet, but this is only the beginning."
Supporters of Rex Bellotti Jr have demonstrated outside state parliament twice so far this year in a campaign that is expected to win wider support in the coming months.

ABORIGINAL AND TORRES STRAIT ISLANDER PEOPLES — DEMOGRAPHIC, SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC CHARACTERISTICS
The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population comprises around 2.5% of the Australian population and is relatively young:
At June 30 2006, the estimated resident Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population was 517,000 people, or 2.5% of the total Australian population.
In 2006, the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population had a median age of 21.0 years compared with 37.0 years for the non-Indigenous population.

More Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people completed non-school qualifications — 40% of people aged 25–64 years in 2008, up from 32% in 2002.
The unemployment rate for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians fell from 23% in 2002 to 17% in 2008, but remained more than three times higher than the rate for non-Indigenous Australians (5% in 2008).
The Torres Strait Islander population comprises 0.3% of the total Australian population and 10% of the total Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population:
At June 30 2006, the estimated resident Torres Strait Islander population was 53,300 people, or 0.3% of the total Australian population.
Torres Strait Islander people comprised 10% of the total Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population nationally, and 23% of all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in Queensland.
Nationally, more Torres Strait Islander adults spoke an Australian Indigenous language than all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander adults (31% compared with 19%).
Torres Strait Islander people were more likely than all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to be participating in the labour force (73% compared with 65%) and to be employed (64% compared with 54%) in 2008.
Many other health and welfare outcomes for Torres Strait Islander people were similar to those for all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
Educational attainment among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians continues to improve:
Apparent school retention rates for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander full-time students from Year 7/8 to Year 12 increased from 36% in 2000 to 47% in 2010.
Nationally, the proportion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people aged 15 years and over completing Year 12 increased from 18% in 2002 to 22% in 2008. The rate of Year 12 completion has also improved in all states and territories.
More Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are completing non-school qualifications, 40% of 25–64 year olds in 2008, up from 32% in 2002.
More Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander young people were fully engaged in work and/or study in 2008. Just over half (54%) of young people aged 15–24 years were either working full-time, studying full-time, or both working and studying; up from 47% in 2002.
Higher levels of educational attainment are associated with better health outcomes:
In 2008, 59% of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people aged 15–34 years who had completed Year 12 reported excellent/very good self-assessed health compared with 49% of those who had left school early (Year 9 or below). For those aged 35 years and over, the rates were 43% and 25% respectively.

In 2008, 44% of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people aged 15 years and over reported excellent/very good health and 22% reported fair/poor health.
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people were twice as likely as non-Indigenous people to report fair/poor health. This gap has remained unchanged since 2002.
While nearly one-third of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people aged 18 years and over had experienced high/very high levels of psychological distress, this was more than twice the rate for non-Indigenous people.
Both tobacco smoking and excessive alcohol consumption are major health risk factors. Latest results show a decline in Indigenous smoking rates, while alcohol consumption remains steady:
Between 2002 and 2008, the proportion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander current daily smokers fell from 49% to 45%, representing the first significant decline in smoking rates since 1994. However, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people remained twice as likely as non-Indigenous people to be current daily smokers.
Around one in six Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people aged 15 years and over (17%) drank alcohol at chronic risky/high risk levels, similar to the rate reported in 2002 (15%).
MOTHERS' AND CHILDREN'S HEALTH
There are a number of positive findings in relation to maternal health and factors affecting childhood development including high rates of breastfeeding and physical activity among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children:
In 2008, the majority of birth-mothers of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children aged 0–3 years (87%) had regular check-ups while pregnant (at least one every two months).
According to the 2008 National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Social Survey, three-quarters (76%) of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children aged 0–3 years had been breastfed.
74% of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children aged 4–14 years were physically active for at least 60 minutes everyday, though the proportion was higher for those who lived in remote areas (84%).
The proportion of children aged 0–14 years who lived in a household where members usually smoked inside the house decreased from 29% in 2004–05, to 21% in 2008.
Most Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children aged 0–14 years brushed their teeth at least once a day (71%). However, 25% of children aged 10–14 years had a tooth or teeth filled because of dental decay and 20% of children aged 5–9 years had experienced dental decay.
Eye or sight problems and ear or hearing problems were experienced by 7% and 9% of children aged 0–14 years respectively in 2008.
Half of all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people aged 15 years and over had a disability or long-term health condition:
Nationally, 50% of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people aged 15 years and over had a disability or long-term health condition in 2008. Around one in twelve (8%) had a profound/severe core activity limitation.
In non-remote areas, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander adults were one and a half times as likely as non-Indigenous adults to have a disability or long-term health condition, and more than twice as likely to have a profound/severe core activity limitation.
Disability was associated with poorer health and welfare outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people:
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people with a disability were more than four times as likely as those without a disability to rate their health as fair/poor.
Half (50%) of all people with a disability or long-term health condition were receiving a government pension or allowance as their principal source of income in 2008.
36% of people with a disability had problems accessing services, such as doctors, hospitals or employment services, compared with 24% of those without a disability.
HOUSING CIRCUMSTANCES
Most Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people aged 15 yearsand over (adults) lived in rented housing, however the proportion living in homes being purchased is increasing:
In 2008, the majority of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander adults lived in housing that was rented (69%).
More Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander adults were living in housing that was being purchased in 2008 (20%) than in 2002 (17%).
Fewer Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people lived in housing with major structural problems, but overcrowding rates remain similar:
While 26% of all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander households were living in dwellings with major structural problems in 2008, this has reduced significantly since 2002 (34%).
In remote areas, the rate declined from 50% to 34% (of households) between 2002 and 2008.
One-quarter (25%) of all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander adults lived in overcrowded housing in 2008 — this has not changed since 2002.
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander adults living in dwellings with major structural problems were more likely to report high or very high levels of psychological distress compared with those who did not (37% compared with 28%).
ACCESS TO HEALTH AND COMMUNITY SERVICES
The majority of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander households could locally access a range of medical and hospital services when needed:
62% of households could access Aboriginal health care services in 2008
74% of households could access hospitals (63% in remote areas)
82% of households could access health/medical clinics (69% in remote areas).
Nationally, just over one-quarter (26%) of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people aged 15 years and over reported problems accessing health services such as long waiting times and cost:
Dentists, doctors and hospitals were the health services where people were most likely to experience problems (by 20%, 10% and 7% of people respectively).
Beyond health services, there were similar levels of availability of community facilities and services to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander households nationally. Services and facilities that were less likely to be locally available when needed included:
emergency services — not available for 20% of households
police stations — not available for 17% of households
school bus service — not available for 17% of households nationally and 39% of households in remote areas.
Parents/carers of around one in seven (14%) Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children aged 0–12 years needed (more) formal child care:
In remote areas, unavailability of child care was the most common reason for not using more formal care (40% of children needing more care). In non-remote areas, it was cost (31%).
