Warriors of the Aboriginal Resistance...

Brisbane City

Last Friday night there was a rally at King George Square and  members of the Brisbane Aboriginal  Sovereign Embassy and the Brisbane Warriors of the Aboriginal Resistance movement shut down the city in protest of the shutting of 150 Aboriginal Communities and the turning off of essential services to those communities forcing the people into already over crowded troubled large townships where violence and addiction are rife and services are already stretched to breaking point.

The City of Brisbane is one of my favorite cities of Australia.  I grew up there in my teenage years and went to school and was kept by the government in their dodgy children's homes as a child in government care there.  I know what the government are capable of and I have never stopped trying to tell others.

Sadly, most thought I was just being vindictive about my upbringing and was just whinging.  They could not have been further from the truth. 

I used to say years ago before getting certified with my Community Services Welfare Cert IV that the system that is here we think is in place to protect us is not real.   It is a figment of our imagination and Lord help us if we ever have to test the system.  By the time we have to test it, it will all be too late to do anything because its just not ever really been there.

This is where we are at today in our screwed society.  This is what is happening to both the black and white communities and all in between.  Everyone is being hammered by warped government policy and its a facsist neo liberalism at its best because both the corporations and the Government are playing hand in hand.   The corporations are getting the privileges which are the peoples birth rights.

The basics card, Children's Services stealing children, Closing Communities, Trashing sacred areas, Disconnecting Families, Low Income bashing,  all of this is not a mistake.  This policy was planned a very long time ago like all of the government strategies are.   There are advisers working overtime to work out ways to use and abuse the general public and dress it up so as the poison is no longer detectable in their genocidal policies.  Steal the children and brain wash them to their way of thinking and you have a powerful movement of people disconnected from truth who think they are doing the right thing and going on thoroughly unawares.

Hundreds of police were present through the walk through the city streets after we left the square and absolutely no media were present anywhere.

All that ruckus and no media and we shut down the center of Brisbane for approximately two hours  through the streets of Adelaide, Edward, Anne, George and Queen Streets and then we stopped the traffic on the Captain Cook Bridge. 

No one wants to have to go to these measures or even upset others.  I simply have to do what is right and tell others who have a right to know this is happening in Australia.  Somehow it helps the pain of my past wrongs if I save others from feeling how I have felt.   I send love to all who are struggling through this. 

We are trying to brain storm ideas to help.  Solar power and humidifier statues were a suggestion.  Now to make that a reality.

Why An Embassy In Our Own Land?

Definition: An embassy is an outpost on foreign soil usually, offering security and diplomatic asylum; a body of persons entrusted with a mission to a sovereign or government.

Arising from a growing sense of alienation – a belief that Aboriginal people had, effectively, been made foreigners in our own land – an embassy was launched in Canberra on 26 January 1972 (Australia/Invasion Day). At first literally a tent and later a shed, the embassy is located near the front steps of what was then Parliament House (now known as Old Parliament House).

The Aboriginal Tent Embassy is a national icon for the Aboriginal sovereignty movement, which has consistently challenged the legitimacy of the sovereignty of the colonial regime. This January on the 40th anniversary of the embassy in Canberra Aboriginal people from across the country gathered and decided to further our campaign for sovereignty by setting up embassies across the land.

Like other sovereign embassies, the Brisbane Sovereign Embassy seeks to raise awareness and discussion of Aboriginal sovereignty, provide sanctuary for Aboriginal people and a place for cultural, spiritual and ceremonial activity,
focused on the sacred fire and circle that have been established as part of the embassy.

What is Sovereignty?

Definition: Sovereignty is the law of the land and the power to use it - the legitimate power to govern. If we had our law in practice when we were invaded, our law is the law of the land until conquered in war or treaties signed.

Sovereignty can be an important building block for the right of peoples to self-determination. In the international system of states, these principles of self-determination and independence form the basis of international relations and international law.

Always was, always will be Aboriginal land!

On the 22nd August 1770, Captain James Cook planted a foreign flag on an Island belonging to Aboriginal nations, now called Possession Island, taking illegal possession of our lands and its resources, without the permission or knowledge of any Aboriginal people.

Aboriginal activist and lawyer Michael Anderson says a recent appeal court decision implies that Australian courts have no jurisdiction over Aboriginal
people because they have never given up their sovereignty, that there had never been a defeat in a declared war, that Aboriginal land had not been ceded and that the British crown had not asserted sovereignty over Aboriginal people. In fact, Queen Victoria made it illegal for agents of the to crown to claim sovereignty over Aboriginal people and their lands in the Pacific Islander Protection Act, 1875. Even under their own legal system, the Australian and
State Governments have no legitimate claim of sovereignty over this land.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples continue to maintain, to this day, their sacred, spiritual, social, political and economic connections to their lands since time immemorial.

A new society

By asserting and struggling for Aboriginal sovereignty, we are not just righting the long standing injustice against Aboriginal people. Sovereignty provides a chance for all who live on this land to build a new society based on Aboriginal culture and values. A society ruled by social need and environmental sustainability, not one of greed and discrimination. A unique society with a definative system of laws and customs to govern it, based on the world’s oldest living culture, that will allow Australia to proudly take its place on the world stage for the first time in history.

The Recognise campaign is trying to subvert the Aboriginal sovereignty movement.

So if you think im racist LOL because I dont agree with RECOGNIZE then educate yourself and shut the hell up with the garbage politician Side of the story.. politicians spread lies = its their job .. fkd job but yep that is their job description ---> spreading lies and deceit disguised as truth to the sheep who listen.

The Roman Empire tried to pacify conquered peoples by giving out cheap food and entertainment (superficial means of appeasement), hence the phrase “bread and circuses”.

This tactic was intended to create public approval through diversion and distraction.  How is Constitutional reform any different?

So what if I think Murrumu is a hero?

MURRUMU ....Murrumu Walubara Yidindji, as he is now, is highly adept with words – consistent with the reputation he honed in Canberra and elsewhere (among other stories he broke, Murrumu was the first western reporter to interview Julian Assange in London’s Ecuadorian embassy) as a highly respected journalist. He footnotes his English aphorism with Latin interpretation and constantly riffs – even kind of raps – off the entendre of words he so precisely selects. Guardian

I first read about what Murrumu did a couple of weeks back and my first thought was that this man was a veritable real life hero for his people and for many others who share his point of view on this subject of Australia and of the facts of all of our Citizenship. 

I liked how Murrumu penned it Citizen Ship, like a ship he was alighting from.  I read through all of this with such excitement that this man had courage to burn.  It is being true to what we all preach and how could anyone fault him for this.

Read the entire story here at the Guardian explaining why Murrumu did this.

I thought it was interesting from the fact of Admiralty Law.  Our law in this country is false law because we are under a false system from the English Trone (Monarchy)  We are one her Vassals and for what its worth we should not be such because No One said so.  Nobody said it was cool and this is their rules (British).  So much for fair play.

So Murrumu handed everything back to the appropriate peoples, his passport, Medicare, Superannuation of twenty years, all bank accounts and any property he owned.  He surrendered the lot and wrote  letters to accompany these items back to the government departments. 

He lives on trust now and that is a big thing, but the biggest shock to me was to wake up to find that Murrumu had been arrested by Federal Police.

This is going to get interesting because he was released the next day by a magistrate.  He was freed on No Bail.  So we sit and wait to see where this avenue turns into a highway we can all traverse.

Everything is played out in the spirit realm first.

So they lock him up for three days on the Public Purse and try to pursue this in court and the Magistrate Boss is not impressed by any of it.  She warns Gavin Mansfield, the Prosecution that they should be very wary of pursuing such matters and they had better be well prepared for such a case.

The audacity of the Prosecution in this matter is evident as they asked for a relatively soon re convention back to court and a date of the 16th February was set down.

Out side the Court Murrumu spoke of the laws being not there to have this heard in court because he was not a citizen of this land and that this will cause them more problems than him.  Read the transcript from the Guardian regarding his interesting day in court.  It is HISTORY MAKING in my opinion.

Euahlayi Nation

Always was always will be  ----->  ABORIGINAL LAND

Media Release 12 August 2013

Goodooga, Euahlayi Nation, in upper western region of NSW Euahlayi Nation declares independence and asserts pre-existing and continuing Statehood Ghillar, Michael Anderson, Convenor of the Sovereign Union and now Convenor of the Provisional Euahlayi Peoples Executive Council said today:

On 3 August 2013 in Dirranbandi, Queensland, a meeting of key Euahlayi family members and Elders concluded that a letter be forwarded to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, informing her that the People of the Euahlayi have asserted their preexisting and continuing Statehood.

This decision follows on from previous correspondence with Buckingham Palace. On 24 July 2010 I wrote under my natural and given Euahlayi name, Ghillar, to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II asking the following questions: a) Can you provide us with the documents, where war was declared against the Peoples of the Euahlayi Nation or where b) The Peoples of the Euahlayi voluntarily ceded their sovereignty to Great Britain.

Our most recent correspondence reminds Her Majesty that on 24 August 2010 her Senior Correspondence Officer, Mrs Sonia Bonici, wrote from Buckingham Palace that: “As a constitutional Sovereign, Her Majesty acts through her personal representative, the Governor-General, on the advice of her Australian

Ministers and it is to them that your appeal should be directed.” I also received a letter addressed to ‘Ghillar’ from the Office of the Official Secretary to the Governor-General signed by Mark Fraser OAM, Deputy Official Secretary to the Governor-General, responding for and on behalf of Queen Elizabeth II’s, Australian representative saying that: I regret to advice you that I cannot add anything further to my reply of 7th July and I am unable to supply any of the documents that you seek. Clearly, the Heads of Government within Australia are unable to produce any legitimate documents, which provide a legal right for their continuing governance over our lands and waters within our borders.

Provisional Euahlayi Peoples Executive Council and the Senior Council of Euahlayi Elders, Dirranbandi, Qld, on 3 August 2013 Left to Right - Sitting: Elizabeth Connor (Executive Council); Henry Noble (Elder); Darcy Washington (Elder); Rosemary Weatherall (Elder); Melanie Waters (Elder). Left to Right - Standing Frontline: Ghillar (Michael Anderson) [Executive Council]; Jason Dries [Executive Council]; Lindsay Noble (Elder); Lyla Dries (Elder); Mavis Eckford (Elder); Margaret Crump. Dr. Mayrah Dries (executive Council); Lenese Cooper (Elder)
Back Row: Jason Dries Jnr; Gordon Weatherall (Executive Council); Neville Anderson; Pam Touma (Executive Council) and Edgar Draper.

We can understand Australia’s fears when we assert our sovereignty. In Mabo [2] 1992 the High Court of Australia said that the issue of continuing Aboriginal sovereignty, is a question, that belongs to another jurisdiction and cannot be dealt with by any municipal courts. (That is, local Australian courts including the High Court of Australia). According to Justice Brennan in the High Court Mabo No.2 judgment: The Crown’s acquisition of sovereignty over the several parts of Australia cannot be challenged in an Australian municipal court. [at para 83]

Moreover, the Mabo [2] judgment expressed grave concerns since, recognising a continuing propriety interest in land under Aboriginal law and custom, creates some serious legal dilemmas. This is evident in their judgment at paragraph 43, where, the judges show in many ways, concern, that Australia’s claim to sovereignty over Aboriginal people and their land is compromised. The judgment shows extreme concern when they say at paragraph 44 that: …recognition by our common law of the rights and interests in land of the Indigenous inhabitants of a settled colony would be precluded if the recognition were to fracture a skeletal principle of our legal system. The proposition that the crown became the beneficial owner of all colonial land on first settlement has been supported by more than a disregard of Indigenous rights and interest.

The Euahlayi Declaration of Independence asserts that we are the First Nation State to occupy our lands and waters, governed by our Law and customs. If the Australian State has a legal and political problem in respect to their sovereignty and governance because of our declaration of Statehood, then it is their right to negotiate with us about the future of their role within our borders. In other words, if they want a relationship with us they need to negotiate with us.

The fact that the Commonwealth government is proposing a referendum to include Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders in their racist Constitution from Britain affirms our pre-existing continuing statehood.

We have always asserted that our sovereignty has never been ceded to the colonising power. Australia’s relationship with the British Crown and Australia’s future as a nation is for them to sort out. A complementary authority for our action comes from the American Declaration of Independence.

During the imperial expansion of the European nations Great Britain lost a civil war on the American mainland to George Washington and his supporters from the then existing thirteen American colonial states. Representatives of these thirteen states, including such famous men as George Washington, George Adams and Thomas Jefferson (all of whom were later to become Presidents in their own right) were among those who signed the American Declaration of Independence.

American Statehood was later confirmed in their Supreme Court in the case Underhill - v - Hernanadez , 168 U.S. 250 (1897). This case established a legal principle, which is now accepted in the international community as a legal international doctrine which concludes: …the acquisition of territory by a sovereign state for the first time is an act of state, which cannot be challenged, controlled or interfered with by the courts of that state.

This is often viewed by First Nations Peoples as being a non-acceptable principle based on colonialism. Nevertheless, First Nations Peoples in America have had their independent sovereignties recognised and are treated sovereignty to sovereignty with many First Nations in the process of becoming economically independent. On 9 July 2013 the American Ambassador affirmed this during a public discussion in the Great Hall of Parliament House, Canberra, with Prof George Williams on the Australian Constitution Day, appropriately named ‘AusCon Day’. The discussion was livestreamed by the ABC Big Ideas programme. We also know that for a long time the Commonwealth Government has been very worried about the right of First Nations to assert their sovereignties and want to avoid the American model at all costs. On 3 March 1981 Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Peter Baume advised:

It may be that, the development of the NAC [National Aboriginal Conference] - albeit a development based on Australian law - an Australian Aboriginal ‘community’ is developing and will develop to the point where, if the United States models are followed, it might conceivably become appropriate to speak of an arrangement of that organised community and the Commonwealth as a ‘treaty’. However, the Attorney-General recently advised the Prime Minister in a letter dated 15 July 1980, that having regard to the connotations of the word ‘treaty’ in international context, it would be very desirable to avoid the word ‘treaty’ in relation to the agreement, and that instead a term such as ‘Makarrata’ might be used if, upon full examination, it was found appropriate. He went on to say that it would be possible to include in the arrangement as if they were a community separate from the Australian community, and provisions to ensure that the arrangement was not conceived as being analogous to a treaty between separate nation States.’ In considering whether such provisions should be included account should be taken of any risk that, in the absence of sufficiently explicit provisions to the contrary, a claim might be made that the agreement accorded a status on which Aboriginals could base a right of ‘Self-determination’ as a ‘people’. …

I note that the resolution by the NAC requests a treaty of commitment between the Australian government and the ‘Aboriginal nation’. For the reasons mentioned above the use of that word should be avoided by the Commonwealth.

The Euahlayi Declaration of Statehood and the formation of the Euahlayi provisional executive council of parliament appropriately preceded the International Day of the
World’s Indigenous Peoples, 9 August 2013, which had as this year’s theme: Indigenous peoples building alliances: Honouring treaties, agreements and other constructive arrangements: The theme aims to highlight the importance of honouring arrangements between States, their citizens and indigenous peoples that were designed to recognize indigenous peoples' rights to their lands and establish a framework for living in proximity and entering into economic relationships. Agreements also outline a political vision of different sovereign peoples living together on the same land, according to the principles of friendship, cooperation and peace.
