Idea Laundering - An Important and Offensive Tactic in Culture War II
Over the past five years we have spent a lot of effort at Dark Emu Exposed exposing ‘fakes’ - those Australians who are mistaken to have believed that they are of Aboriginal descent, when the genealogical records show they have no Aboriginal ancestors at all [Note 1].
‘Fakes’ such as Professor Kerrie Doyle at the Western Sydney University, Professors Lisa Jackson Pulver and Jaky Troy at the University of Sydney and Professor Bronwyn Carlson at Macquarie University. These are some of the examples of the “Who” and “Where” of ‘fake’ Aboriginal academics in Australia.
But of real interest is the “How” and the “Why” of their fakery - how do they get away with it and why are they doing it?
In the first of our new series, Culture War II*, I provide evidence on one of the tactics being used by the Marxist/Leftists/Aboriginal Self-Determination Activists - Idea Laundering.
Idea-laundering is process that illustrates “How” the ‘fakes’ are using their fake Aboriginal identity to push a political and cultural ideology that is un-Australian. The evidence we have found also goes a long way to explaining “Why” they are doing it.
The first of our articles appeared recently in Quadrant Online here.

It should be noted that with all genealogical research, family trees can change if new evidence comes to light. Similarly, this research cannot account for events which may result in Aboriginal ancestry entering into the family line such as via a private or unrecorded adoption of an Aboriginal child into the family, or a relationship out of wedlock between a family member and an Aboriginal person that produced a child of Aboriginal descent who was then incorporated into the family without record, or with a record that did not disclose the Aboriginality of that child.
Note * - Culture War II - [2017 - tba]. This is my definition to describe what is happening culturally and politically in Australia from 2017 when the Uluru Statement from the Heart [The Uluru Statement] was presented. I do not think that it is too melodramatic to describe the Uluru Statement as a ‘proclamation of war’ against the state of Australia, given that its fundamental demand was for the self-determination of the so-called First Peoples of Australia.
The ‘war’ is not physically violent - yet- but rather the ‘offensives’ are political, cultural and academic and waged against Australia’s British-based cultural norms and institutions and our traditional historical narratives. This ‘war’ is a follow on, but separate from, the original Culture and History Wars [defined by me as Culture War I, 1992 - 2008 [Igniting with Keating’s Redfern Speech and ending victoriously for the Left with Rudd’s Apology].
