Beachside Revolution

Australia 's 'Cronulla Civil Uprising' Ruptures Multiculturalism and Fires Immigration Debate.

Dr. Jim Saleam

It is often said that Australia went to sleep in the consumerist 1950's and left its soul at the beach. It was in this dreamtime of affluence that the old 'White Australia Policy' was ditched in March 1966. This was courtesy of a conservative government, which even then, was looking to create a hyper-capitalism founded upon Asian trade and investment.

There have been many organizations with a rich history of struggle, engaged in a veritable Long March to correct the immigration disaster which has overtaken us progressively since that time. There have been a few industrial strikes and campaigns by prominent Australians critical of multiculti; there has been political violence and some public demonstrations. Yet, there has never been anything to compare to the sudden outpouring of soul-felt public disaffection with contemporary multicultural-Australia as took place on December 11 near the beaches of Cronulla in Sydney . Some 5000 - 7000 people rallied spontaneously that day. As international media flashed around the world, there was some violence directed both at persons of another race and at the police. The entire affair has shocked and panicked the Australian establishment.

I was apparently the first person interviewed at length (the demonstration was still in progress) by a Sydney radio station as someone likely to offer an explanation of events. I called it a " spontaneous civil uprising of a "disenfranchised people" . Knowing the media-liars in my country, I had also made certain observations to the radio audience of the day's events; almost to forestall (I failed!) the lies which I was sure would soon be told. Was I being oversensitive? No! Why?: because it was quickly said by the major media that 'the Cronulla riot' was a product of a hot day and too much grog, a circumstance driven by a lout element - and worse, outsider racists and those utterly unfindable "neo-nazis".

The pictures have been seen in Britain and this writer has also been interviewed by British papers and the BBC World Service. But what happened and what does it mean?

The spark ..

What sparked the uprising? Australia 's beach culture is legendary and Cronulla, situated in the Sutherland Shire (one of the least 'multicultural' of Sydney 's districts), was a particularly popular spot for weekend crowds. Sadly, Cronulla (and other beachside suburbs too) had been plagued by racist gangs born out of the wastelands of Aussie multiculti.

Men of Arab and / or Muslim background generally, had terrorised the beach areas for years. Cronulla was a particular target for their hate. They came in numbers every weekend, spitting at people, assaulting people, intimidating youth, insulting women, threatening rape. Complaints to police had done nothing. Families drawn from these ethnic communities occupied areas of beach, driving others off with insults and threats. As time progressed, the beach community became frustrated, even aggressive. A few days before December 11, two surf-life-savers were bashed by a Lebanese gang. As if from nowhere, telephone text messages circulating across Sydney demanded a mass protest on December 11 and direct action to remove the gangs. Widely reported on Sydney media as these messages were, it became clear a large crowed might assemble.

There were also underlying simmering causes for the Cronulla uprising.

The Sydney scene was witness to an epidemic of racist rape. Between 2000 and 2003, about 100 women of European appearance were raped, usually by Arab (generally Lebanese) men. The women were not only raped, but subjected to extreme violence. Victims were told by perpetrators that they were chosen on account of their race . A number of rapists were sentenced to lengthy terms of imprisonment after 2003, but sporadic racist rape has continued.

And even more ominous was the birth of the Arab crime gang. Tim Priest, a former New South Wales policeman, has written extensively about the emergence of a "Middle Eastern criminal gang culture". Noting that a generation of young migrant males had become alienated from their authority figures (fathers and Mosque) and had grown up in welfare dependent households or were themselves unemployed, Priest considered it always inevitable that they would war against the host society . Indeed, these gangs were brazen enough to machine-gun a Sydney police station and openly attack police. Nonetheless, the ideology of multiculti, imposed from the top by the police hierarchy, meant that police were hamstrung from the start. Thus the gangs grew more pervasive and bolder. Elements from this gangland were behind the intimidation at Cronulla (and other beaches) and were certainly involved in the violence after December 11.

So the stage was set.

The mobilisation ..

This writer attended the mobilisation of December 11 along with couple of dozen members of the Australia First Party and some additional activists of the Patriotic Youth League, all of us organised on two days notice once it became clear a large crowd might assemble. From contacts in the Sutherland Shire, we managed to rally dozens of additional friends and contacts.

What did I see at Cronulla? I saw thousands of ordinary Australians. There were families and young children, young men and young women and teenagers by the hundreds. Certainly, I did not see the freak show which the international media produces every time ten Klux in the American south, turn up at the city hall in drag to demonstrate about 'whaaaat raahts', allowing themselves to be heckled by thousands anti-racists! No: I saw normality . Everywhere, the balconies of the unit blocks were decorated in the national flag, patriotic bunting and other Aussie iconography. People were draped in flags and similar cockades. I saw too, the fighting Flag of Eureka Stockade (the blue and white Southern Cross) hanging from buildings and carried along. Other people carried the boxing-Kangaroo sporting emblem and some men wore t-shirts featuring the great Australian bushranger, Ned Kelly. It was a protest of people, a registration of dissent.

Between 11 am as crowds gathered and until about 2.15 pm , it was a festival. At a couple of points thereafter as rumours spread of the arrival of "Lebanese bash gangs", there were violent incidents directed at a few Arabs in the area, something which the media and the spokesmen of multiculti have seized upon. "I was ashamed as a man and as a police officer", said the Commissioner of Police. In reply, I said to The Australian newspaper, that I did "not condone" this violence, but "could not condemn it". It was the product of "special circumstances", including things the police had ignored in their prior drive for political correctness at Cronulla and in general. Amidst Australian violence, there was also counter police violence, obviously ordered by the commanders and in some incidents youth were viciously assaulted.

As Russian TV later asked nationalists (in a question no local journalist would ask or could understand): 'why did some police turn on the people?; did orders come from the state hierarchy?' At least the Russians understand political dynamics and they were answered truthfully. "Yes, the police leadership follows the state ideology and as events developed, we are sure orders were given to deal more harshly with the Australian protestors". I believe this item has since been broadcast across the Russian Federation .

By late afternoon, some crowds remained to quietly party on at Cronulla. Whatever the means employed, - but for a brief while - Australians were masters of their own streets.

The violent reaction ...

So much for Sunday afternoon. But by Sunday night, the violent reaction had set in and there followed three night of violence across Sydney . It was a taste of Paris in October, a little like Oldham just a few years ago. Hundreds of cars were smashed. Shops were vandalised. Women were threatened with rape and a man left with a knife in his back.

On December 12, for the first time in Australian history since the 1930's, men armed with guns and other weapons, on this occasion Arabs and other Moslems, assembled in a park not far from Sydney's Lakemba Mosque - with police ordered to back off and not offer provocation! Shortly afterwards, some of these men were roaming Sydney 'on mission'. In following days, they burned down a church used by Tongans and arsoned then another church run by Chinese - and ultimately peppered a Catholic Church with rifle fire.

In the beachside suburb of Brighton Le Sands, Arab men burned an Australian flag stolen from aloft a services' club, wrecked stores and engaged in street running battles.

In what became a civil emergency, police sealed off parts of Sydney that week, searching vehicles and detaining many persons on weapons offences.

When the violence subsided by Wednesday evening, there had been over three hundred charges proffered by an overworked constabulary, at this stage largely against the immigrant groups.

The media lie factory gets to work

The liberal media attacked at once in a cacophony of lies and misrepresentations. Such abuse of the Australian public involved stories such as: alcohol handed out to demonstrators by Australia First members; neo-nazis and white supremacists plying the crowd with violent talk; wild drunkenness; faces of hate. Politicians, actors, public figures were all mobilised to speak against the Cronulla 'rioters' and in favour of 'tolerance'.

The liberal totalitarians can brook no opposition. Rather than concentrate on the criminal non-white gangs and their thuggery and race-hate, the media turned itself against the Australians. This writer has never 'done so much media' in a period of a few days. The President of Australia First, Diane Teasdale, was soon on the national media, as was founder and patron of the party, former member of parliament, Graeme Campbell. We answered all these falsehoods as best we could and made telling points, but the multiculti symphony was overwhelming.

The police also pursued the Cronulla demonstrators, with some newspapers inviting people to inform on anyone they recognised. Eventually, police tracked down many of the Cronulla demonstrators, charging them with "riot" and "affray". Bail was refused. One cannot help wonder if the police commanders were attempting to show the Arab and Moslem communities how committed they are to the multiculti regime.

Enter the political police

The Australian equivalent of MI-5, the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO), joined in the circus.

The Australian Parliament, only a fortnight before Cronulla passed new sedition laws which made it an offence to incite one group of the community against another as distinguished on the grounds of race, religion or national origin. The penalty: seven years imprisonment. These laws were sold in the context of the faked up 'war on terror' and Aussies were told that somehow this all related to Islamist campaigns against the host society. Surprise, surprise, when in the wake of Cronulla, newspaper scribblers and professors of multiculti started up that these laws could be used to crack down on "racists". The police state was nigh.

But while the ordinary criminal laws were used (this time) against dissent, the secret police made a special contribution, helping to author an "apology" on the part of surfer groups to the Moslem community. The "riot" became the fault of "alcohol" and "outside racist groups". This lie has since been superceded by an admission of the Attorney General that no one instigated the "riot"; however, this concession was made only after Australia First exposed ASIO's involvement in the "apology" matter! It was further alleged by the nationalists that this stupid lie was told for two reasons: to understate the events to placate Moslem opinion - such that the young thugs not radicalise towards an Islamist terrorist movement; then, to persuade young Australians not to look for a nationalist solution to their alienation from the multicultural order. It remains to be seen how successful any strategy will be in containing these likely developments.

Has Humpty Dumpty been broken?

Have the immigration and multicultural myths been shattered? If you'd listen to the political leadership here - not at all. The new class elite closed ranks around the central faith of the economic traitor class which lords over this 'part of Asia '. All is on course. The multicultural society is united and accepted by all.

A cooked up opinion poll found that 81% of Australians supported multiculturalism.

However, the civil uprising has set in train a massive re-awakening of the Australian people. We hear reports from our networks and friends across the country that the sacred cows are rejected and challenged. Some media commentators are warning that what happened at Cronulla and subsequently - is just the start.

Whilst it is likely that violence will continue at a lesser beat across Sydney , it will not go away completely: violence of aggression from the immigrant groups, violence of defence from native-Australians.

The multiculti ideology is broken. However, the borders are still open and on existing demographics, Europeans will be a minority in Australia before the close of the century.

Will an Australian nationalist party be built?

Members of the BNP would wonder whether an Australian nationalist party will take advantage of the new popular consciousness, and thus articulate and develop upon that nascent will to 'contest' state ideology and policy. The short answer is yes, but the long answer demands a period of redefinition and struggle. British nationalists are aware of the rise and fall of One Nation, a party best explained as a lash of UKIP, a dose of angry Tory but only a whiff - of BNP. We are yet to replace this party, absorbing its best elements, but repudiating the stale.

For a short time, Australia First has pushed all potential rivals off the field. But Australia First is yet to reregister as a political party and develop consistent and stable organization across the country. It has demonstrated a capacity to seize the limelight, but there is a very long way to go. The matter of struggle to reorient the Australian nationalist and patriotic scene will go on over the next year or so but I believe a nationalist party will be built.

The Australian nationalists sometimes say that the British nationalists don't understand the idea of Australia too well. We were a British colony and we speak the English language - and necessarily we share particular things in common. There has necessarily been a confusion in your country as to who and what we are and a confusion here too (aside from those artificially engendered confusions of mass immigration and multiculti) in matters of identity arising from our colonial past. Of course, Australia has moved on from its past. It took on a great European migration from the 1920's onwards (particularly after 1945) and developed a special 'native' identity of its own. In short, Australia is a nation no less than the countries of old-Europe and those other former colonies of the European powers which grew to similar status. To paraphrase the Australian nationalist, Percy Stephensen, we Australians spring forward from the 'head of Jove' fully acculturated with our heritage - but we go on towards a new formulation of it as Australians . It is all of this which is under savage attack on this Continent.

Obviously, the central problems Britons face, we also share - and we may re-find a genuine friendship in a broad common struggle for the defence of the heritage of our lands.

All up, the defence of the idea of Australian identity, independence and freedom, took a giant step forward in the wake of the civil uprising of December 11. It is now up to the Australian nationalists what can be made of it.
