“Love Long Lost” is part of our ongoing initiative to fight against Wokeism and Cancel Culture, as well as against aboriginalisation and aggressive ‘decolonisation’ process that is being conducted in Australia – under which the public buildings, statues and monuments, as well as private properties, art galleries and politically undesirable artworks are being vandalised and…

There is no credence in any of the Aboriginal industry’s ‘meticulous research’ which supposedly ‘proves that Walsh was wrong’… Walsh concluded that both groups – Bradshaw as well as Wanjina figures – were deliberately destroyed, which was the Aboriginal way of making a statement of cultural dominance over an earlier, non-Aboriginal race… Speaking the truth is now called ‘hate speech’… Fraud and falsified archaeology are now even enshrined in Australian law.

Vesna Tenodi: Mungo Lady and Mungo Man – what really happened with the Australian prehistoric skeletons, Part 1
Acclaimed Aboriginal artist Harold Thomas… an educated Aboriginal elder… is horrified by these Government attempts to legally regulate who can be inspired
by what imagery.
Politically-prescribed and legally concocted “codes of conduct” and “protocols,” invented by the Aboriginal industry, are propagated in a way that can mislead any naive reader into believing that such “protocols” are actually enshrined in law. As a consequence, alleged “sacred customs” that have never actually existed have become mandatory in all public institutions and agencies.
The fact that Bednarik has been suppressing both academic and artistic freedom for the last three decades is cause for great concern.
In Australia, we have long become used to the politically driven suppression of any archaeological evidence which does not fit the current paradigm of Aboriginal tribes being the “first people”.
In Australia, when it comes to archaeology, such freedom of research is non-existent. Archaeologists are not allowed to touch any ancient bones, not even to look at them, without ’Aboriginal permission’.
Who should we trust in a country paralysed by political correctness? Having written about Mungo Man skeletal remains several times I had no intention of revisiting that particular topic. But the latest development has twisted my arm.
When my last article was published I was again attacked and abused for saying that some Australian archaeologists are making false claims, deliberately misrepresenting, or — in some cases — outright fabricating evidence to support their invented story of the “ancient culture” that never actually existed.

Political correctness and other nonscientific practices are increasingly being used by Western institutions to stage-manage public beliefs about prehistory. It is a modern ruse used to promote ideas that would never pass muster in a full and honest disclosure of facts – a common problem in suppression-dependent anthropology.

Ted Strehlow fell out of favour when he asserted that real ancient culture was well and truly extinct, and replaced with a fake culture as devised by the Aboriginal industry. He went from glorified to vilified, for proving that modern Aborigines “no longer have any knowledge of the authentic tribal culture, since the elders and guardians of the secrets were all dead and that whole world is finished, and will never come back”.

This moment is a long-overdue opportunity for Australian archaeology to be revived, for our vilified scientists to be rehabilitated, and for our artists to regain their right to create art without fear of Aboriginal violence.

This article is dedicated to Ian Wilson, author of Lost World of the Kimberley, published in 2006, attacked by the Aboriginal industry for his “provocative” research of Bradshaw paintings attributed to a pre-Aboriginal race which he called the Bradshaw people. Australian cave art has a lot in common with Asian prehistoric art. In the Stone Age art of Indonesia as found on Sulawesi island animal drawings were dated to 35,000 years ago placing them among the oldest figurative depictions in the world…
Same signs, same minds: Palaeolithic artefacts decorated with identical patterns such as parallel lines, ladder motif, cross-hatch pattern, dots and circles – together with jewellery made of shells, bones or pebbles – form part of a decorative repertoire typical for the Upper Palaeolithic period in the Mediterranean basin.

Unethical practices, such as these found in the Australian mainstream, were clearly explained by the great American physicist Richard Feynman, who summed it up as follows:
