Australia Day: The Main Event in the National Sport of Denial

Note: The following text was written by some unknown activists who redecorated several ‘ADSHELL’ corporate advertising spaces in the city of Melbourne, in so-called Australia on 26.01.16 in protest against the ‘Australia Day’ national public holiday and it’s accompanying ‘official’ celebrations.

Australia Day: The Main Event in the National Sport of Denial

Today, advertising across the city of Melbourne has been replaced with messages that confront “Australia Day” for its inherent celebration of invasion and the genocide that continues to be perpetrated against First Nations Peoples of this land.

This act of protest seeks to highlight that so-called “Australia” was invaded under false pretenses, and that the sovereignty of its First Nations was never ceded, whilst simultaneously reclaiming public spaces from commercial entities for use as a public forum.

For many Indigenous people, today is a day of anger and mourning. In the wars that followed the initial invasion 228 years ago, hundreds of thousands of Aboriginal people lost their lives in defense of their homeland. Countless more have died since as a result of the national narrative of denial and neglect that has since been perpetuated by governments, businesses and schools. To uphold this narrative through the celebration of Australia Day, is to continue the genocidal mindset of the first invaders and to uphold their actions.

The private entities that pay to control our public spaces know this history. They have helped perpetuate this patriotic myth because they profit from denial. These companies are the same companies that are responsible for the displacement of Aboriginal people from their lands, the pollution of environments and the destruction of cultures. They would have Aboriginal people assimilate or be wiped out and they would have you, the individual, conform or disappear.

We stand against all private entities that would seek to colonise our minds for profit and we stand in solidarity with all Aboriginal peoples fighting to decolonise this continent.

History is shared. Reflect and acknowledge.

In 2016, 14 states will have new voting restrictions in place for the first time in a presidential election. The new laws range from strict photo ID requirements to early voting cutbacks to registration restrictions. Those 14 states are: Alabama, Arizona, Indiana, Kansas, Mississippi, Nebraska, New Hampshire, Ohio, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, and Wisconsin. This is part of a broader movement to curtail voting rights, which began after the 2010 election, when state lawmakers nationwide started introducing hundreds of harsh measures making it harder to vote.Overall, 20 states have new restrictions in effect since the 2010 midterm election. Since 2010, a total of 10 states have more restrictive voter ID laws in place (and six states have strict photo ID requirements) seven have laws making it harder for citizens to register, six cut back on early voting days and hours, and three made it harder to restore voting rights for people with past criminal convictions.

I don’t think non-Natives understand what a HUGE FREAKING DEAL this is. This is amazing. The show of solidarity is just…it’s amazing. Regardless of the end result, these gatherings will not be forgotten.

Violence has erupted over the Dakota Access Pipeline

Hundreds of demonstrators supporting the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe faced off against private security officers from Dallas-based Energy Transfer Partners. Here’s what you need to know about what’s at stake.

The Dakota Access Pipe Line passed. For those who don’t know, DAPL is an oil carrying pipeline that will cross through the Missouri river in North Dakota, on the Standing Rock Indian Reservation. That river is the lifeblood of my tribe. When that pipeline breaks, its going to kill our wildlife along the river, contaminate our drinking water, and god knows what else further along. The Missouri is a large tributary to the Mississippi river, so anything that hits it here, will probably hit there too.

For the people who say “well they said it will be safe” I call bullshit. It will be monitored by a team on the other side of the country, and the pipelines that are above ground leak without people being able to find the cause or locations. That pipe line will break.

Dakota Access Pipe Line passed. But I refuse to stop trying to prevent it. If you are willing and able to help, please visit rezpectourwater.com and sign the petition, tell others about whats happening, write to your governments, every little bit helps. Please. Help me keep my home clean.

The witch-burnings did not take place during the “Dark Ages,” as we commonly suppose. They occurred between the fifteenth and eighteenth centuries– precisely during and following the Renaissance, that glorious period when, as we are taught, “men’s” minds were being freed from bleakness and superstition. While Michelangelo was sculpting and Shakespeare writing, the witches were burning. The whole secular “Enlightenment,” in fact, the male professions of doctor, lawyer, judge, artist, all rose from the ashes of the destroyed women’s culture. Renaissance men were celebrating naked female beauty in their art, while women’s bodies were being tortured and burned by the hundreds of thousands all around them.

Advice to young activists today: Stop trying to understand the 1960s and build a movement around something that you did not live through or understand, or a movement like the Black Panther Party that went through many changes of policy and program during its 16 year existence. Show respect to movements and activists of the past, understand what they went through, even work with them where that is helpful, but do not make the mistake of building your movement today around anything other than the material conditions and forms of oppression that exist now. Do not be afraid to think in an original sense about police terror, mass imprisonment, homelessness, mass unemployment and poverty, and so many forms of oppression that are worse now, or that did not even exist as a mass problem in the 1960s. This is a different time, so you have to think, resist and organize in this time.
