The product of 10 years of research by the author into
original documentation held in libraries and archives, Rodney Liddell's
"Cape York - The Savage Frontier", the book that the Commonwealth
parliament tried to censor, purports to portray history as it really
happened.
In researching the history of Cape York Liddell found
it necessary to re-trace the origins of man on the Australian Continent.
It soon became apparent that the latest anthropological evidence shows
very clearly that the "First Australians" were not the dark skinned
natives seen by Captain Cook in 1770.
The story that few Australians have been taught starts
with a natural land bridge connecting Australia and New Guinea said to
be 100 miles wide and [160 km] consisting of vast lowlands and
undulating hills which was generally believed to have been breached by
rising sea levels between 6500 - 8000 years ago creating 200 islands
within a shallow sea now known as the Torres Strait. Prior to the
separation the Paupans had access to the whole continent including
Tasmania.
Liddell's draws on research carried out by eminent
anthropologists E. R. Gribble and Professors Haddon and Elkin in the
late 19th and mid 20th centuries to present a compelling case for his
prehistory of Australia.
According to Gribble in “A DESPISED RACE”:
“The first inhabitants [of Australia] were a negroid
race being curly haired. Later came the [Pre] “Dravidians“ A straight
haired race driven from Egypt, through the north of India."
The author points to indications of the use of the
boomerang in South India and Ceylon and the discovery of two model
boomerangs wrought in silver in King Tutankahamen’s tomb. He suggests
the dingo, which is said to originate in India, was brought to the
Australian mainland by the invaders. On the other hand, in Tasmania,
which was closed off by the formation of Bass Strait, only evidence of
the curly haired Paupuan race has been found, and no dingoes. The Native
almond or Sea almond (also known as the Indian Almond), which can be
found growing all over Northern Australia, was probably a vital food
source carried by the Pre-Dravidians in their canoes on their long sea
journey to Australia.
Liddell rejects the "False Aboriginality" of the
40,000 year myth and makes the startling claim that considering the
dingo has been carbon dated at only 4,000 years, taking into account the
inaccuracy of carbon dating which is rapidly being rejected as
unreliable worldwide, then it is very possible that Aborigines may have
been in occupation of the Australian continent for less than 1,000
years.
Liddell's expose reveals the raw savagery that existed
amongst the native tribes of Cape York and the Torres Strait Islands
with Aborigines exterminating up to 150,000 Paupans in what would be
classified in today's world as genocide and tens of thousands of their
own people in their savage tribal conflicts in which the weaker tribes
were totally annihilated, by the time the first Europeans had arrived.
He catalogs accounts of numerous shipwrecks around the Australian
coastline, with the castaways from these vessels set upon by hordes of
savages as they rowed ashore with hundreds of helpless men, women and
children were brutally slaughtered by club and spear. Rejecting claims
by modern academics that Aborigines were not cannibals as absolutely
false, he asserts that many were eaten, whilst others were beheaded in
Northern Australia and the nearby Torres Strait Islands and still others
more were kept as slaves and slowly worked to death, whilst subsisting
on starvation diets.
He questions the image of the Ancient Aborigine as a
timid native who lived in harmony with the environment with evidence
which shows that many birds and animals were hunted to extinction before
the arrival of Europeans, and that thousands of square miles of forest
was deliberately burnt out to attract game to open grassland that
replaced the forest. Even today in many areas of Northern Australia,
turtles are ruthlessly hunted down by the Aborigines and cut open whilst
still alive.
On what he calls the "greatest academic cover up the
world has ever witnessed", aided and abetted by the Australian
Broadcasting Corporation, Liddell states:
"It is no coincidence that many anthropologists
involved in promoting this false aboriginality are the most highly paid
academics in Australia...In recent years the Australian public have been
subjected to a massive indoctrination campaign, designed to “Mentally
Program” Australians, into accepting a mass of false and misleading
information relative to the occupation of Australia by aborigines.
Almost daily the public are swamped with this false
advertising through television, newspapers, radio and magazines.
Even school children cannot escape this web of
academic deception, for the Education Department is controlled by the
very people who promote it.
All the evidence clearly identifies the Papuan as
being the original Australian. Numerous anthropologists have
acknowledged that fact, but are ignored by Universities who are paid
millions of dollars to force feed the public with a false pre-history of
Australia."
Published by the author Cape York - The Savage
Frontier is a thoroughly researched 288 page hard cover which chronicles
the history of this fascinating area, jam packed with 32 colour plates
and numerous black and white photographs with numerous historical
references and provides the unvarnished facts about an Australian
frontier of which so little is known. Now in its 5th print run Liddell's
monumental work is now more popular than ever.
A must read for all those interested in Australian
history.
Readers review:
"I found this book's contents and claims to be
fascinating - it was a "can't put down" type of book. If nothing else,
it should warrant the historical academics to actually validate their
own publications. A truly good book to read which opens the readers mind
that "truth is sometimes more worrying than fiction".
