German Blitz =lightning, Krieg = war. Blitzkrieg is what happened in 1940 when the Netherlands, Belgium and northern France where occupied in a matter of days.
Donner und Blitzen = Holy fug or bloody hell, alternatively two of Santa Klaus’s reindeer.
Patrick Dodson, one of Aboriginal Australia’s better known deep thinkers made a speech at UNSW entitled: “Can Australia Afford Not to be Reconciled?” The speech included:
“The strategy for assimilation of our peoples is not a mistake made by low-level bureaucrats on behalf of successive governments who didn’t know better. It was and continues to be a deliberate act orchestrated at the highest levels in our society, and no amount of moral posturing can hide that reality. This Assimilation I talk of has not been evidenced by equality, but by further control, incarceration and subjugation to norms and values without our consent.”
When a living being has a crap, under certain circumstances a coprolite can result The name is derived from the Greek words κόπρος (kopros, meaning “dung”) and λίθος (lithos, meaning “stone”). A coprolite is a fossil turd. They can last thousands of years. You can buy them on E-Bay.
When a Blitz (Wirnpa in Warlpiri) strikes a sand dune (Warlpiri Ngalyarrpa) the result can be a fulgurite (Latin Fulgur= lightning bolt). A cylinder of molten silica that can last for thousands of years.

- A Blitzkrieg is adeliberate act orchestrated at the highest levels. It takes years of preparation, days to execute, and the consequences can last for generations.
- Where I was born (the Holland part of the Netherlands) the WWII occupation took days. Liberation took 5 days short of 5 years.
Three years earlier the Basque town of Guernica was bombed in what is now regarded as a dress rehearsal for the bombing of Rotterdam.
Picassos’ famous painting and Zadkine’s sculpture say it all.
- Three years ago Oombulgurri community in the Kimberleys was closed down by the West Australian Government
Last month the bulldozers rolled into Oombulgurri.
A dress rehearsal for the proposed closing down of 150 communities in Western Australia. A deliberate act orchestrated at the highest levels.

- Misinformation, distraction and deceit are used to great effect in Blitzkrieg.
- Red Herring = something that distracts attention from the real issue. Thus, the debate regarding inclusion of Indigenous Australians in the Constitution was defined by a participant on an NITV panel show.
Government propaganda has distracted us with the NTER (Northern Territory Emergency Response), Closing the Gap, Stronger Futures, Generation One, the Wilson report on NT Education, the Forrest report on Aboriginal employment und so weiter ad nauseum. All the time a Blitzkrieg was being planned, a deliberate act orchestrated at the highest levels. An Endlösung (final solution) aimed at the reversal of Aboriginal Land Rights. The recreation of Terra Nullius aimed ultimately at giving access to vast areas of Australia for exploitation (such as mineral extraction, oil & gas –including fracking, military exercises and nuclear waste dumps) without the need to obtain “informed consent” from the original inhabitants.
Speed and Surprise are used to great effect in Blitzkrieg (in fact they define it).
Whilst we’re all savouring the Schadenfreude derived from watching the Mad Monk squirming as a result of the puppet master’s Senate performance, Blitzen are taking place on a wide front.
In the NT under the guise of “Northern Development” and a need to speed up the “negotiating process” (with mining companies), the Giles Government (in cahoots with federal minister Nigel Scullion) are mounting a serious attack on the Land Councils and Aboriginal Land Rights (see attached article by Ian Viner). Divide and rule tactics are being used by exploiting Aboriginal discontent about aspects of the Land Councils’ modus operandi.
It is ironic that that weather vane of Aboriginal NT politics, Alison Anderson, is now a member of PUP and has become our best hope against the onslaught.
The Jolly Giant doesn’t fool me, he did (after some entertaining populist outburst and some chest beating about “amendments” and “concessions”) after all allow the abolition of the Carbon Tax and Mining Tax to pass through the senate. But as far as I’m aware Clive Palmer has no mining interests in the NT.
In Queensland, an Aboriginal group is taking the Newman Government to the UN over fracking in the Lake Eyre Basin. If the notice taken of the UN Special Rapporteur on the rights of indigenous peoples
(James Anaya)’s report after his Australian visit in 2010 is anything to go by, the Lake Eyre Basin Aborigines shouldn’t be holding their breath.
In South Australia the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara (APY) people’s land rights are under serious threat by the recent proposed changes to the APY Land Rights Act. The changes to the Land Rights Act are being rushed through parliament, without any consultation with Anangu. The comment piece attached tells all.
All of this under the approving gaze of Australia’s own Prime Minister for Indigenous Australians.
Australia is indeed “open for business”
Standin’ on Solid Rock Standin’ on Sacred Ground….

Words are easy, words are cheap
Much cheaper than our priceless land
But promises can disappear
Just like writing in the sand
Nhima djat’pangarri nhima walangwalang
Nhe djat’payatpa nhima gaya nhe
Matjini … Yakarray
Nhe djat’pa nhe walang gumurrt jararrk gutjuk
