Ah!
@Reggie Belafonte you seem to have many axes to grind with your agro.
You are still a pup to me who carries a forest instead of the usual small chip of wood on your shoulder. As with many people groups, there is always some "bad" among the "good" who make up those people groups.
I have just travelled through the centre of Australia on the Ghan Train which only provided a glimpse of what the country is like. The "news" people present a very slanted picture of the actual situations in the Alice and many of the other places in the outback. They present that there is a lot of agro and violence in the Alice, but the people there also tell us that it is a very safe place to live.
In the 1600's an explorer, Pedro Fernandez De Quiros, (who you can read about at this link, <
Maritime Exploration of Australia: Pedro Fernandez De Quiros>), declared that Australia was the "Great South Land of the Holy Spirit.".
What I got out of my Ghan Train trip was that he was totally wrong. Australia is in fact the "Great south land of the unholy spirit," with the "dream time" stories all speaking of the serpent that the Aboriginals who was responsible for the landscape and the "law" in which they could live.
In Australia there is lots of spiritual oppression that manifests itself in many forms. Sadly many "Christian" believe these "Dream time stories" and give silent assent to them and come under the oppressive power of the "serpent spirit" that has operated over Australia for many centuries that goes way back in time.
Ranting about the situation that we find ourselves in, is not the right way forward, but Holy Spirit led prayer is.
One of the stories that was told to us is that the "Elders" of the mob that lived in and in the Kakadu region had experienced what radiation poisoning did to the people in that area many years ago before the white man came. When women became pregnant they did not go into those areas at all because of the possible effect of their exposure to the radiation from the rocks in the ground in certain areas of Kakadu.
Did they understand fully what the cause and effect was from radiation poisoning? Probably. Did they need to have the so-called scientific understanding that we "white" people rely on today to make decisions with.
They had the nuance to respect the rocks and what the rocks were capable of doing and so they acted wisely with respect to those rocks.
Our dream journeys often take us out of comfort zones and in doing so we can learn from our experiences on vacation and grow in our wisdom.
Shalom
I am not ranting just stating the fact of the matter in fact. no aggro !
It Looks like you know bugger all that's typical of most city person, like my mate up the road who has not a clue of who is who regarding Abo's, he has a Islander half pommy mate but does not understand the difference between who is what, because he is a typical shallow lefty who can not see past his own nose, just like a good mate of mine who married a full blood Samoan woman and i and her got on fine for i knew what she was on about but her hubby was a total dipstick numb skull on such issues, for he could only be influenced by the Media as his God ! he was brain dead, as the truly logical part of the brain did not function for him to think things out for himself. nor did he care, he just seek regarding the majority as his comfort zone.
Nothing wrong with the Abo's before Cook and the UK took over one could say as they had their life down pat. strict as Laws they followed or you were out !
I grew up with the Abo's mate and i am talking about full bloods or half cast and islanders and their is a difference, this era has changed regarding them years, as most are all white claiming to be Abo's now. with no true regard to the full blood Abo's, but full blood Abo's are kicked to the side and it's the white so called Abo slobs pushing an agenda always, The Voice is a Socialist run agenda that many true Abo's know is nonsense. but they are silenced into submission. dominated over by cunning Nazi type Socialist running a political agenda that has been going on for years. not to mention such do not want to inform anyone of the true details in fact but run on a big lie campaign all Tax payer funded show and extortion regarding big company's to fund the Yes side for if they don't, they fear the ramifications. screaming racist etc !
My Brother lived and worked in Alice and we worked and lived in Darwin and Katherine and North QLD in the 80's bro and we would go out 4x4 driving everywhere. seen it, reality mate for a fact, where most would fear to go.
Most full blood Abo's out in the sticks would not even bother to talk to people the majority of white people not to mention they do not get on with other blacks for that mater. But they will talk to me because i understand them and can get on well with them, because i can talk with them and not at them ? Like every PM Government or City people do in fact, only talk at them !
The Spirits ? yes people are guided by such be it seen as good or bad or something other.
But the Holy Spirit is set apart different to the others.
All people are religious regardless what one may claim and they may have Spirits ? but Christ Jesus is not about religion, for religion is not the foundation Stone, for That is the Holy Spirit, the Well that we drink from as we are his body and he our Head their of. so we do not get mixed up in religious spirits ? for they are not the Key ! for they can mislead one ? but the Holy Spirit is pure !
I am for looking after the true full blood Abo peoples first and foremost, the rest are another issue in it's self. and one has to draw the line regarding who is truly who, because if it does not, it is doomed to fail the true people as it always does politically ? Politically with anything is always fails badly, why because that's the nature of Governments for they are trash at governance truly ! the issues set in such a way are so plastic and distance that they do not relate for a people regarding the people at hand, it's sterile ? as such it shafts people in fact and gets away with such ! They shafted my industry regarding Subcontracting issues years ago because the right wing greed Liberal Party was only feeding the top end of town, and never had any regard for us and nor did the Socialist. They all worked against us in fact, clearly undermining us.
It's the same on so many issues, that They both just clearly play the people for fools.
The Governments have brought this all on, they have failed ! the two big political Party's are trash in fact and they are only getting worse, because the freedom of speech is being undermined and people can not speak the truth because the truth hurts nowadays this has become a critical game play tactic set by the Satanist to empower and dominate over the people. For such Childishness that will fail badly, for the Truth is not in them.
Now one in business running the show, has to be on the ball and as such he may have to call the shots and what he may say may not come across as nice ! but that is not the issue, The issue is that things are run ship shape like, not catering for shabby cry baby's who can't handle the truth or reality. for such as they are what sink ships ? for no one is at the wheel !
