Did you know? The topic is an ode to a beautiful friend, the most beautiful person in either of my worlds, a person who thinks she is terrible when she is the pinnacle of beauty and love, Emma.
Aboriginal Communities
Did you know that Aboriginal people living in government created communities throughout Australia are living in third world conditions?
Sometimes, often, in a two-bedroom house, there are upwards of 15 people cramped together in one room, only the one room.
Diseases of hygiene and poor nutrition that most Australians only think existed in the days of pirates and Captain James Cook live here. Scabies, malnutrition, children who look like they are living in the middle of an Ethiopian famine.
The life expectancy of Aboriginal people in Australia remains nine years less for men and eight for women. I wonder what it would be when the data for Aboriginal communities is isolated? I know, for a fact, from my own eyes, in a place like Maningrida there is a funeral every second week, there is wailing at the airport regularly. The funerals are rarely just the old and frail, often young men and women, teenagers, abused, murdered, suiciding. This is the continuation of genocide that Tony Armstrong talks about, if he only he knew why he was saying what he is saying.
Camp dogs roam the streets, litter the shops, make it completely unsafe to go to certain places. Scenes most Australians think only exist in the most dirty of dirty countries.
Young women, and men, prostitute themselves for services. Men involved in a program to remove abuse from their community, to protect women from abuse in an environment where they are 33 times more likely to be hospitalised than the greater population due to family violence, violence at the hands of their partner, will trade a 17 year-old girl’s body for cigarettes, alcohol and marijuana.
The health debate
Did you know, in 2024 tobacco use contributed 7.6% of the total disease burden in Australia, in 2024 obesity contributed to 8.3%?
Yesterday, I bought a packet of cigarettes, brand new warning labelling all over the packet, even the darts themselves have them now. Where are the warnings on McDonalds hamburgers, KFC chicken, all confectionary dressed up as food? What about confectionary and chips, alcohol, and many more terrible products.
From a personal observation I do not know and have never met a single obese person who can run five kilometres in under 30 minutes, could hike to the top of Mount Barney in one day, has the flexibility to touch their toes. I know beyond doubt, with absolute evidence that there is a long-term smoker who can do the run in 18, walk to the top of the mountain with only cannabis and cigarettes for snacks, is able to wrap his hand around his toes. The same person can also do 35 chin ups, muscles ups, pushups a plenty, hundreds of situps, can stand on a fitball and perform squats unaided, again have never seen a fat person do any of this.
In 2024, alcohol use in Australia contributed to 4.1% of the total disease burden. It was the leading risk factor for males aged 15-44, with the disease burden including alcohol dependence, cancers, cardiovascular disease, chronic liver disease and injuries. In 2024, cannabis use does not register as a percentage of total disease burden.
2024 again, alcohol use contributed to 14% of the overall burden of injury, 17.5% of injury fatalities and 13.2% of intentional self-harm and non-suicidal injury in Australia. Cannabis contributed to 0.2%.
During the past 12 months 75% of Australian people surveyed stated they had consumed alcohol, 11% cannabis. Were I to work the above data, increasing the cannabis part by seven times to make the two substances statistically relevant the cannabis data still does not come close to comparing to the poor health figures related to alcohol. Comparitively barely compares.
In 2024, one in four, a total of approximately 30% of all vehicle related death in Australia has linkages to alcohol, drivers registering over 0.05 on the blood alcohol scale. I cannot find any statistical data on vehicle death related to cannbis use behind the wheel.
Fat wild animals
Did you know that not a single animal in the wild is overweight or obese? Not one. Including every wild version of cats and dogs, every breed.
Did you also know that the only overweight and obese animals on this planet are humans? Oh, and the animals it has domesticated?
But, you’re pho phmart (said with a camp, gay, poofta, accent), you must have realised this already.
A promotion
Did you know the stories I am sharing on this site, including my own, of child abuse, child sexual abuse and child exploitation, the same ones already making you sick to your stomach, are nowhere near as sick as they are going to get?
Did you know the same exploitation that occurs in Nepal, Cambodia and Ghana occurs in our shores, Australia?
We get into these examples intimately, but first let us all understand what is happening in other parts of the world.
In Nepal, India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iran and many other countries in Asia young girls, sometimes infants, are sold to boarding schools by their parents. Primarily by the father, often without the knowledge of the mother.
Young boys are sold too.
The young people are told the nice lady and man who are coming to pick them up will take them away to school where they will learn to read, write, do algebra, how to use a computer, maybe even become smart enough to speak English.
Boys and girls brimming with smiles are fed well, treated kindly, shown love.
For three days anyway. The three days it takes to get the child to really behave when crossing the border, make sure they say to authorities ‘this is my uncle and aunty taking me to their home. They look after me really well, I’m super happy and excited.’
Upon crossing the border the child is taken home, often to a two-story or more home, so rich, this’ll be great thinks the child.
She is ushered into a small room with a disgustingly unclean bed, a bucket to shit and piss in, some dirty old looking water, maybe a stale piece of bread if she is lucky. These remain her conditions until the four-year-old proves she is a good girl.
To prove she is a good girl she will be fucked over and over and over and over and over and over, her vagina isn’t the only hole she has. It becomes particularly uninteresting when the girl bleeds for the first time. Bleeding, not the period this one, all trauma, sexual trauma caused by an adult to a child.
Virginity collects a premium price, maybe $10 Australian.
Nepalese girl will get beaten, starved, mamed, branded and eventually cast out should she continue being a bad girl.
Should a girl reach an age she has paid back her debt.
Her debt first. The money the owners of the establishment paid to her father in the first place. Our daughter here needs to pay this back before she can think about leaving. When she thinks about leaving other details are bought into, ‘you still owe for lodging, food, care.’ There is no way out.
When a girl escapes once she is branded like a cow if she has not already been. Branded on the forehead to know she is somebody’s property, for everybody to know she is the lowest of low in their society, a hooker.
She escapes finally and runs home.
Knock knock knock on the door of her mother’s and father’s house. The door opens, a boot is smashed into now 14-year-old girl’s chest. The same boot from every single door in her community, she is a hooker, the lowest of low, not welcome. Being sold at three by Dad does not matter.
She kills herself. It is the most likely option.
I am a boy in Cambodia, the rich man from America has taken me from my abusive parents who make me work like a slave every day. Rich man gives me a nice comfortable bed, there is a blackboard, other boys and girls are sitting around eating a hot meal.
Heaven.
Boy trusts rich American man, so did all the others.
You know where this is going, same as above. I’ll add, many rich people from all around the world do this in places like Cambodia, setup a child brothel musing as a boarding school.
Lake Volta, Ghana, a boy, 14 years, duck dives to get fish. His eight-year-old mate waiting in the boat with a paddle, not old enough to dive yet, 11 is generally the age.
Younger fella looks eight, his face, his legs, most of his body, everything except his chest and shoulders. The upper torso does not fit, it is huge to the point of being severely deformed, it is from doing nothing but paddling all day every day.
Both boys were sold by their Dads under the same circumstances as the girl in Nepal.
The diver, he does not re-emerge, well outlived the expectation for boys diving into these waters at the tender old age of 14.
Fisherman and his family are pissed, they just lost their best worker, six years bloody hell, four years more than most.
They’re pissed so they take it out on the younger boy, his fault. No food tonight, but probably get me a good old beating instead, I do.
Diving is more important than paddling, 8-year-old just got himself a promotion.
No need to be rich to travel
Did you know you do not need to be rich to travel?
Example, me. I did not come from money, inherited none. Well, 4k or so from my Mum and the same from Oma a few years ago. Also, never have I had a job where the base wage was over 90k, never hit the six figures.
Yes, there was the army and deployment, however my base average wage for the four previous years 45k or so, the next couple, nothing or close to it.
Eight out of 24 adult years on the road, and a year off, maybe two on top of it.
The reason behind my ability to travel is the attachment to money and being what others think I need to be, neither apply to me. I do not need rubbish and toys, to hoard crap. There were toys, stuff I used all the time, kayak, road bike, guitar, computer, good cars, fully functional kitchens, always bought good quality shit. Money was spent, but mostly money was saved.
Partying, women, festivals, gigs, sporting events, weekends away, holidays here and there while working, weekend trips to see family. Included all of it, I went without nothing. Again the only shit I spent money on was stuff I enjoy, not a cent spent on meeting the expectations of the social circles in which I walked.
Generally, two years working hard followed by as long as it took to deplete the money, cycle repeats, beautiful.
Yes, you can do this with a family. You can backpack the world with a couple of infants without needing more than two packs, one does not need to fill the car with rubbish. Have seen it repetitively, enough evidence to outweigh your ignorance.
An infant or two, add almost nothing to the cost of your trip, particularly if they are under three.
And, buds, if you are an Aussie in Australia and have kids the government will give you money, do not even need to apply for jobs.
Tasmanian Police
Did you know the Australian police will specifically target people for no other reason than to bully them?
It is Sunday morning, 15 people are sitting down enjoying the morning sun. 50 Barrack Street the location.
The 15 people spent the previous 48 hours indoors, the only time outdoors walking between the Mission City night space to the day space, back again. Has been an awfully cold and wet period.
Eight people sitting in the sun, the other seven enjoying it from chairs. Barely a word is being said, most eyes are closed, people are enjoying the beauty and freedom that comes with a few moments in the beautiful warmth.
A police car pulls up, two officers jump out, they are on a mission.
You dealing drugs. How about you, dealing drugs? What about you?
‘Who are you?’
You dealing drugs or what?
‘Who are you?’
Why can’t you be like your mate? See he is being good, just be good.
‘Haha, who the fuck are you?’
They move on to the other group, you dealing drugs?
Neither of the officer’s, even when asked, identified themselves. They were full aggression, pointing fingers, getting right into people’s faces, and then up and left when they had filled their pathetic weak coward egos.
The man asking who are you would then send an email, including a few people, Tasmania police for example. The Tas police would call him to discuss, Fred, neither of the officer’s described came from our Hobart officers, they must have come from another jurisdiction.
‘So, you are saying, these two men went consciously out of their way without direction or a job to specifically target the MIssion barracks audience, with no other intention than bullying? I hope you do something about it.’
They did not.
This is the Tasmania Police, all Australian Police. They are the pinnacle of violent cowards in that country, yeah that country, I’m not there anymore thank fuck.
Tasmania Police more corrupt and violent than all of the violent corrupt thugs they have put behind bars.
