Leaving Country, Leaving Culture
Tell Us the Story of Your Journey
In the six years that have elapsed since Dark Emu Exposed began its exposé and deconstruction of Bruce Pascoe's book, Dark Emu, and, by extension, the hype and lies of the Aboriginal Activist ‘industry’, we have challenged many aspects of this ‘industry’s’ intellectual dishonesty. From the blatant disregard for historical accuracy of Pascoe's book itself, to the selective quoting of historical sources by historian's and academics who should know better, such as Henry Reynolds and Lyndall Ryan, to the blatant lies and half-truths of academics, such as Professors Bronwyn Carlson and Lisa Jackson Pulver who claimed an Aboriginal ancestry that has since been proven to be a complete fabrication. It is a sorry tale.
Our research into these betrayals of truth are focused on the few – the very few – individuals who have sought to game the system, to gain kudos, applause and recognition for themselves. These people have besmirched the good name of all those Australians who know it is wrong to abuse the system.
And from time to time we ask ourselves - why are we committing so much time, money and resources to ferreting out these fake Aboriginals and their enablers?
On a purely academic level, we are persisting with the Dark Emu Exposed project for integrity in the practice of history itself. We need to show support to academics, especially historians, who are scared of being de-platformed, and their work discredited or sidelined, if their research or conclusions go against the grain of the current orthodoxy or political correctness. If we can get our anti-orthodox work into the media so too can you. Perhaps anonymously at first via a website such as ours, but ultimately the day will return when the mass insanity of the ‘woke’ movement will have fizzled out and once again the academies will become a place for the free exchange of controversial ideas.
However, there is another reason why we persist - we do it for all those Aboriginal Australians living in mainstream Australia who look on with horror at the teams of ‘fake’ Aboriginal academics and their activist supporters telling them how and what to think, and how to vote and act ``as an Aboriginal person.”
Given that there are said to be 1 million Australians of some Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander descent, we asked ourselves at Dark Emu Exposed: ``Do they all endorse the radical and separatist agenda of the likes of Professors Marcia Langton AO and Megan Davis or Noel Pearson? Do they believe in the political project of full self-determination for so-called First Nations peoples, with their own unique ‘sovereignty’, languages, educational and justice systems? Did they all vote YES in the failed Voice referendum?”
We thought who better to answer these questions than our readers themselves!
So Dark Emu Exposed is issuing a request for personal stories, reminiscences and confessions from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who don't endorse the political antics of the Aboriginal activist elites and their supporting ‘white’ academics, activists and business virtue signallers. We want to hear from Aboriginals who cringe at the mention of smoking ceremonies or gratuitous and repetitive ‘welcome to countries' or ‘acknowledgements of elders’.
If you are one of these people, we would like to hear the story of your intellectual and moral journey away from Country and Culture. What was the pivot point, what event allowed you to see through the fog of myth, misinformation and the intellectually barren assertions of those same academics and activists who claim that traditional knowledge is equivalent to and perhaps superior to the modern scientific method? Was it a person – your partner, a teacher, a friend or perhaps a colleague? Or was it circumstances – a new job perhaps? Or a book? And how quick was the change? Was it a sudden realisation or a long and painful road of broken friendships and shattered families?
If you are interested, send us your submissions as an attachment to an email or simply as text in the body of an email. You can make it as long or short as you like but for something as important and personal as this we think anything between 200 and 1000 words would be acceptable. If you agree to have your submission published on the DEE website, we can do so anonymously, should you wish.
