The Fundamentals #2 Penjajahan

The profound historical insights embedded in the wonderful art of Melburnian John Lawry has lead me to the following thoughts.

The heavy weight of Penjajahan or Colonialism destroys the so called powers.

The post colonial world has not recovered yet from all of the evils which were done in the name of imperial power both to those colonised and to the colonising nations themselves.

Freedom works for people.

Tyranny works for tyrants.

Masks And Truths #1 Let There Be Light ??!!!??

It is now mandatory to wear masks in the Highly Policed State of Victoria where 1,000 personnel from the Australian Defence Forces are assisting the police in policing the people.

What is a mask?

What is The Truth?

That’s what this series of 17 micromovies and other posts intends to explore.

Sustainable Development #14 Ross McEwan – What Can We Do?

Attention: Ross McEwan, banker.

In the pandemic, no one really knows what to do.

Meanwhile, Australia does not know how to relate to countries in the region.

Chinese President Xi Jinping, who was born this day 67 yeats ago, has said, “There are some bored foreigners, with full stomachs, who have nothing better to do than point fingers at us…” and “No one is in the position to dictate to the Chinese people what should and should not be done.”

In so many ways, people have to try harder to understand each other to know what is happening.

But again and again people refuse to even talk with each other.

And then pretend that the refusal was “good manners” or a matter of “safety”

Sadly.

Lets start remembering history, Ross.

Lets start remembering us.
