Australia, remember?

Australia is making a weak gesture to remember its once proud rebel fighting past. Furnished with a cringing government grant of $120,000, archaeologists are undertaking a dig at Glenrowan, the site of Ned Kelly’s last stand against colonial oppressors and the corrupt authorities of the time. They hope to unearth new artefacts and solve some popular folk legends that Kelly's brother escaped the siege. It is encouraging that Australia -- now in the most cowardly phase of its history -- reminds itself that it once possessed a fearless, indomitable, fighting, INDEPENDENT spirit.
Most (cringing) Australian historians continue to comply with the propaganda campaign of the old colonial authorities by labelling Kelly a murdering thief and bandit. However, Kelly's act of dictating a political manifesto, which effectively declared war on the crown and the local authorities, SEPARATES him from the common criminal.
Kelly’s actions are all justifiable under the legal codes of war. Kelly is actually one of the first true nationalist Australians and should be honoured as such. The crown, fearful of a popular open rebellion, contrived a propaganda campaign to portray Kelly as a common murderer and thief. In fact, Kelly’s ‘criminal’ actions were primarily committed in defence of his and his compatriots’ lives.
The conservative colonial cringe attitude relating to Kelly persists to this day. Unfortunately the fighting rebel spirit that once characterised the national identity is almost dead, as is evidenced by the current Rudd and past Howard governments! What a bunch of knee-walking servile fleas they/we have become!
Australian Foreign Minister Stephen ‘kneepads’ Smith, today articulated AMERICAN policy -- almost verbatim -- on Tibet in a press interview. Smith’s subservience to America is shamelessly undisguised; he employed numerous American slogans in his statement to the foreign press. "The way forward” is a meaningless relative expression designed to deceive the public and disguise one’s true intentions. ‘Forward’ is a relative term chosen to deceive and manipulate when utilised in a non-specific context. An extension of Smith’s idiotic logic/argument relating to Tibet would see Australia returned to its rightful owners, the Australian Aborigines – try and think next time, Smith, you pathetic little SLAVE!
The next time you wish to deceive the public just remember that Australian education standards are far higher than those of your American masters! WE do not swallow feeble lies so easily, ‘kneepads!’ Swallow the load yourself, you spineless, traitorous scumbag!
The truth behind the tissue-thin American propaganda is that China has won the globalisation war and has trounced America with its REGULATED economic model. America -- always the sore loser -- has now undertaken to subvert China (and Russia) from the inside by utilising every means (Dalai Lama) available. Our ‘brave,’ lackey government ‘representatives’ are complying with the wishes of THEIR American colonial overlords NOT the wishes of the Australian people.
However, the majority of AUSTRALIANS regard Kelly as a folk hero and continue to draw inspiration from our fighting rebel past, especially from those who fought colonial oppression and corrupt government.
Despicable, gutless, no-identity politicians that do the bidding of foreign powers are in no way AUSTRALIAN – they may soon be in for a very rude awakening.
Taking the nation's political capital would be child's play for a group of well-trained Aussie veterans – are you listening, Mr Smith?
