"The Voice" is not going to fix Alice Springs

Mundine highlights the fact that “support”, in the absence of guidance, in remote communities for so many decades has CAUSED dependency, and the increase in frequency and seriousness of violence and crime.  

Changing the constitution to mandate “The Voice” will just add another layer of careerists who will feed a culture of complaint already spreading in this country.  "The Voice" will encourage aboriginals to consider themselves as perpetual victims dependent on special treatment and not responsible for their own future.  This is the point that Mundine trys to highlight in excerpts from his own life.

To fight racism, it proposes to entrench additional racism into the constitution. In 1967, the racist reference to aboriginals was removed, but the ability to discriminate in favour of one race and against another was dangerously retained. 

If “The Voice” is passed, discussion of every topic that comes before parliament for the indefinite future will be subject to scrutiny and recommendation by the growing number of people who "identify" as aboriginal.  A process of racial certification will have to be implemented to identify those with the privilege of voting for "The Voice" representatives. 

The constitution should guide us towards a better future where racial, religious and other differences are celebrated, but where these attributes have no effect on life opportunities or freedoms or rights.

The proponents of “The Voice” cannot imagine any future Australia in which people will participate in Australian politics and be judged by the content of their character rather than the color of their skin.  They envisage a world where certified aboriginals are perpetually considered the victims of racism, and so must be perpetually compensated for this with special privileges. 

Our constitution should strive to create government for our collective good.  It should be based on principles well known and widely supported such as maximising freedom of action, equal opportunity for all, one vote, one value, and equality under the law and prohibition of discrimination on the basis of protected attributes.

"The Voice" is a dangerous and racist distraction that runs directly counter to many of these values.

We should be guiding and assisting all, including aboriginals, towards productive and healthy participation in Australian communities .... such as Alice Springs. 

Review: China Doll - Ian McBride

This topical thriller builds action from events that mirror the real situation in Australia in 2023. 

The mobilization of the Chinese diaspora through intimidation is well documented in the real world and portrayed here sympathetically. 

This does not diminish the threat to national security that follows from such manipulation.

The story arc of the reluctant spy is well written and very believable. 

The thriller narrative steadily builds pace until  the first resolution. 

The final third of the book then evolves seamlessly into a riveting action sequence. 

Perfect script for a great movie… but has the film industry got the guts to stand up to the inevitable political and economic punishment that could follow ?

Apologists for the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) often assert in the press and at the dinner table that the threat is exaggerated, or a colonial, cold war or even a racist throwback.  But when challenged to publicly express any criticism, they almost always dissemble and use euphemisms rather than plain language: "certain foreign actors", "overseas elements".

The fact is that the CCP is a fascist (yes, this word fits here as well as it did for the other "national socialist workers parties" like Russia and Germany) totalitarian colonial power eager to increase it's empire through military force.

As in the Chinese Doll, ethnic chinese are often victims of the CCP and driven to lip service or, worse - supportive actions by the sense of inevitability flowing from the control of 1.4 billion voices.

Do Not Trust OneDrive (at least on a Mac) (Nov2022)

I have worked with OneDrive for a couple of years and find that it is VERY unreliable in most things that it purports to do.

Most importantly...

OneDrive doesn't maintain a reliable online copy of files.

My Onedrive on the desktop computer looks fine.



On multiple occasions, I have used the OneDrive mobile app to access files and found that the file does not exist on the cloud.  When I later check the sync status on the desktop, I find a variety of inconsistent sync icons within my files.


Inside the folders that have been marked with the green check as "sync complete", are folders that are marked with the circle "sync in progress".


Inside many "sync complete" folders, there are files that are not marked with any OneDrive sync status.  They never get uploaded.

No changes on the desktop have been implemented on the cloud version for weeks !!!
The OneDrive app just keeps lying to me by oscillating between the "Sync Complete" and the "Looking for Changes"



Using a browser or the iOS app, I can change anything on the cloud and these changes are immediately implemented on my desktop.
No changes on the desktop are implemented on the cloud - ever.

See the video


The fix for the above covert OneDrive software failure, is the reset OneDrive.
When you restart OneDrive after the reset, you can point your OneDrive to the same folder previously used and it will offer to use this folder again.


 After choosing "Use this Folder", OneDrive will start at the beginning and check all local files against the cloud files.


In my case this checking takes about 48 hours to complete for my 700Gb of photos and files.

Of course, being OneDrive (i.e. pretty crap software), there is no file progress listing (as there is in GoogleDrive), so all that there is to look at is the gradual count down.  No indication re. which files are being uploaded/ downloaded/ deleted etc.  

Just have to trust ?   Of course NOT !!  I make a full backup of the OneDrive before starting this little adventure.

I am writing this because this is the third time that this has happened in about 9 months.
I have paid for a year of Microsoft 1Tb at about $100 which included the Office 365 and sounded like a good deal.
But as I cannot trust OneDrive as a backup, I will have to cancel and move to a more expensive solution.  2Tb at GoogleOne for $150 and use GoogleOffice, LibreOffice or OpenOffice instead of Microsoft Office 365.  I have tried and rejected Apple iCloud ($180 a year for 2Tb) as it hides your files and makes them very hard to extract.  Dropbox ($184 / year for 2Tb) is the most reliable.  Perhaps I will try that.

On balance, OneDrive sucks.  
Consider paying the extra for Google, Apple or even DropBox, or use a local backup and reset OneDrive every month or so.

Why Can't I Beleive (Music & Lyrics - Stephen Digby 1970)



Why can't the preacher preach to me
Why can't I hear the angels sing
I tell them of my agony
I beg them to reveal to me
Why can't the preacher preach to me

They say they understand
Why the hell man is damn
They know what makes me tick inside

Why can't the speaker speak to me
Why can't you convince me of the truth
When Pontious washed his hands
The son of man died

Why can't they teach me to believe
Why can't my mind be yours, and
Leave all its freedom behind
Why can't my mind be yours, and
Deceive that reason of mine.

Why can't the bible speak to me
And tell me where I went wrong
But it's only made of wood
It can't be God and it can't be food
Why can't the bible speak to me

Don't lose your disbelief, Yeah
Those who do are fools
Keep looking but never try to find the truth
'Cause if you find an answer
You kill and maim to see it tried
You'll write your own bible
You'll have your own disciples, and you'll
Kill me 'cause I can't believe

Why can't the preacher preach to me
Why can't I hear the angels sing
They take his effigy
Hang it up for all to see
Then they wear their robes and play at God

Why can't my mind be yours, and
Leave all its freedom behind
Why can't my mind be yours, and
Deceive that reason of mine.

La Marseillaise: Where many threads meet

·        Everything except the big bang has context.

·        One of the delights of information technology that has developed during my lifetime is the ease of exploring the context from any starting point.

·        I can spend hours entering "rabbit holes" and emerging somewhere else presented with new holes to explore.

 

·        When I heard the recording of the French National Anthem played at Wembley after the Paris attacks in 2015, I remember going down a rabbit hole for a few hours exploring it's various contexts.

·        (6) Paris Attacks: French and British fans sing La Marseillaise together at Wembley Stadium - YouTube

·        November 2015 Paris attacks - Wikipedia

·        In the case of the Wembley match, it wasn't enough as England won 2-0.

 

La Marseillaise music and lyrics was composed in 1792 Apr 25 by a little known composer Rouget de Lisle - but more on that later.

 

·        What about the origins and power of other national anthems ?

·        The French fired the musical salvo of the Marseillaise in 1792 at the Austrian Emperor, Leopold II (older brother of Marie Antoinette) in the first days of the French Revolutionary Wars 1792-1802

·        The Austrians asked their best composer, incidentally the greatest composer the world has ever seen, Joseph Haydn, to inspire the counterattack. 

·        5 years later  (there was no hurry, the war would last a decade) on the birthday of Austrian Emperor Francis II - "Gott erhalte Franz den Kaiser" (God Save Francis the Emperor) or the Kaiserhymne.

·        In 1841, new lyrics from von Fallersleben transformed it into "Das Lied der Deutschen".  

·        In 1854, new lyrics transformed it into "Gott erhalte, Gott beschütze" (God preserve, God protect).

·        A few years after the Austrian Empire disintegrated in 1918, the German president adopted Deutschlandlied with an emphasis on the woke 3rd stanza. 

·        The nazi's re-emphasised the first stanza during WW2.

·        It wasn't until 1952, that Deutschlandlied once again became Germany's national anthem using the 3rd stanza.

·         

 

·        As we move around Europe, the birth place of National Anthems, we quickly realise that many countries also have marches - but just seems to miss in terms of gravitas.

·         the broadeniog of royal anthems to national anthems in European countries. 

·        The spread of national anthems in the 1700's;

·        The enrgising of national anthem adoption probably from the success of the Marseillaise.

·        1778 Feb 6: France and the United States signed the Treaty of Amity and Commerce regulating trade between the two countries, followed by a defensive military alliance against Britain, the Treaty of Alliance. In return for French guarantees of American independence, Congress undertook to defend their interests in the West Indies, while both sides agreed not to make a separate peace; conflict over these provisions would lead to the 1798 to 1800 Quasi-War.[181] Charles III of Spain was invited to join on the same terms but refused, largely due to concerns over the impact of the Revolution on Spanish colonies in the Americas.

·        1789 May 5: The Estates-General convened in the Menus-Plaisirs du Roi on5 May 1789, near the Palace of Versailles rather than in Paris; the choice of location was interpreted as an attempt to control their debates. As was customary, each Estate assembled in separate rooms, whose furnishings and opening ceremonies deliberately emphasised the superiority of the First and Second Estates. They also insisted on enforcing the rule that only those who owned land could sit as deputies for the Second Estate, and thus excluded the immensely popular Comte de Mirabeau.[39]

Its governor, Bernard-René de Launay, surrendered after several hours of fighting that cost the lives of 83 attackers. Taken to the Hôtel de Ville, he was executed, his head placed on a pike and paraded around the city; the fortress was then torn down in a remarkably short time. Although rumoured to hold many prisoners, the Bastille held only seven: four forgers, two noblemen held for "immoral behaviour", and a murder suspect. Nevertheless, as a potent symbol of the Ancien Régime, its destruction was viewed as a triumph and Bastille Day is still celebrated every year.[45] In French culture, some see its fall as the start of the Revolution.[46]

The attempted escape had a profound impact on public opinion; since it was clear Louis had been seeking refuge in Austria, the Assembly now demanded oaths of loyalty to the regime, and began preparing for war, while fear of 'spies and traitors' became pervasive.

·        1791 July 17 radicals led by Jacques Pierre Brissot prepared a petition demanding his deposition, and on 17 July, an immense crowd gathered in the Champ de Mars to sign. Led by Lafayette, the National Guard was ordered to "preserve public order" and responded to a barrage of stones by firing into the crowd, killing between 13 and 50 people.[81].   The massacre badly damaged Lafayette's reputation; the authorities responded by closing radical clubs and newspapers, while their leaders went into exile or hiding, including Marat.[82] On 27 August, Emperor Leopold II and Frederick William II of Prussia issued the Declaration of Pillnitz declaring their support for Louis, and hinting at an invasion of France on his behalf. In reality, the meeting between Leopold and Frederick was primarily to discuss the Partitions of Poland; the Declaration was intended to satisfy Comte d'Artois and other French émigrés but the threat rallied popular support behind the regime.[83]

·        1791 Aug 10:  a combined force of the Paris National Guard and provincial fédérés attacked the Tuileries Palace, killing many of the Swiss Guards protecting it.[95] Louis and his family took refuge with the Assembly and shortly after 11:00 am, the deputies present voted to 'temporarily relieve the king', effectively suspending the monarchy.[96]

·        French Revolution - Wikipedia

 

·        1791 Aug 27: Holy Roman Emperor Leopold II, brother of Louis XVI's Queen Marie Antoinette, had initially looked on the Revolution with equanimity, but became more and more disturbed as the Revolution became more radical, although he still hoped to avoid war.

·        1791 August 27, Leopold and King Frederick William II of Prussia, in consultation with emigrant French nobles, issued the Declaration of Pillnitz, which declared the interest of the monarchs of Europe in the well-being of Louis and his family, and threatened vague but severe consequences if anything should befall them. Although Leopold saw the Pillnitz Declaration as a non-committal gesture to placate the sentiments of French monarchists and nobles, it was seen in France as a serious threat and was denounced by the revolutionary leaders.[6]

·        1792 Mar 1 Leopold died (probably from severe onset pleurisy rather than French spies…).   About a year and a half before his younger sister, Marie on 16 October 1793 from severe decapitation.

·        1792 April 20 France eventually issued an ultimatum demanding that the Habsburg monarchy of Austria under Leopold II, who was also Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, renounce any hostile alliances and withdraw its troops from the French border.[7] The reply was evasive, and the French Assembly voted for war on 20 April 1792 against Francis II (who succeeded Leopold II), after a long list of grievances presented by foreign minister Charles François Dumouriez. Dumouriez prepared an immediate invasion of the Austrian Netherlands, where he expected the local population to rise against Austrian rule as they had earlier in 1790. However, the revolution had thoroughly disorganized the army, and the forces raised were insufficient for the invasion. Following the declaration of war, French soldiers deserted en masse and in one case murdered their general, Théobald Dillon.[8]

·        1792 Apr 25 : One lasting morale-boosting effect was the composition of the battle hymn Chant de guerre pour l'armée du Rhin ("War Song for the Rhine Army") by Rouget de Lisle in April 1792. It became popular among French soldiers nationwide, and was soon identified with a battalion from Marseille. Thus, the song became known as La Marseillaise, and on 26 Messidor III (14 July 1795) and again on 14 February 1879 it was officially recognised as the national anthem of France.[10]

·        The French national anthem, La Marseillaise, was composed in Strasbourg, April 25, while the French were still mustering troops, as the "Chant de guerre pour l'Armée du Rhin" ("War Song for the Army of the Rhine").

·        Nicolas, Count Luckner (German: Johann Nikolaus, Graf Luckner; 12 January 1722, Cham in der Oberpfalz – 4 January 1794, Paris) was a German officer in French service who rose to become a Marshal of France.  Luckner grew up in Cham, in eastern Bavaria and received his early education from the Jesuits in Passau. Before entering the French service, Luckner spent time in the Bavarian, Dutch and Hanoverian armies. He fought as a commander of hussars during the Seven Years' War (1756–1763) in the Hanoverian army against the French. Luckner joined the French army in 1763 with the rank of lieutenant general. In 1784 he became a Danish count.  He supported the French Revolution, and the year 1791 saw Luckner become a Marshal of France. In 1791–92 Luckner served as the first commander of the Army of the Rhine.

·        In 25 April 1792, Rouget de Lisle dedicated to him the Chant de Guerre pour l'Armée du Rhin (War Song of the Army of the Rhine), which was to become better known as the Marseillaise.

·        He was arrested by the Revolutionary Tribunal and sentenced to death. He died by the guillotine in Paris in 1794.

·        Nicolas, Count Luckner He was given command of the Army of the Rhine from December 1791 to May 1792, then of the Army of the North from May to July 1792: he took the city of Menin on 19 June, those of Kortrijk and Ypres on 20 June, but he was forced to retreat to Valenciennes, having not been supported.

·        It was to him that Rouget de Lisle dedicated, in April 1792, his famous War Song for the Army of the Rhine, otherwise named, subsequently, the Marseillaise1.

·        1808 The Spanish American wars of independence (25 September 1808 – 29 September 1833; Spanish: Guerras de independencia hispanoamericanas) were numerous wars in Spanish America with the aim of political independence from Spanish rule during the early 19th century. These began shortly after the start of the French invasion of Spain during the Napoleonic Wars. Thus, the strict period of military campaigns would go from the battle of Chacaltaya (1809), in present-day Bolivia, to the battle of Tampico (1829), in Mexico.[6][7]

====================================================================


A meme is a word invented by Richard Dawkins in 1976. He had written "The Selfish Gene" describing the way in which genes evolved on earth by collecting into complexes that we call organisms.  These organisms (e.g. us) are machines that arose because they improved the frequency and spread of the genes inside them.  At the end of the book, he introduces the concept of the meme - thought, act or thing that is able to spread and gain influence through the cooperation of a host.  As he worked on genes, he had realised that the speed of evolution of human culture was making physical evolution irrelevant for our species.  We were changing ourselves and the planet millions of time faster than any process of physical evolution.  The atoms of this cultural change, he called memes. Analogous to genes, their purposeless propagation alters culture.  They can split, mutate, become extinct etc etc.

The term meme is helpful because it strips back cultural pretensions and brings together analysis of all thoughts, actions and things, no matter how different.  It encourages evaluation of the influence of the Coke label and a Cézanne painting in the same way.  What is it's spread and frequency over time. How was it created ? What effects has it had on it's hosts. What memplexes is it connected to. 

When I think of a thought, act or thing, I imagine it as a node on a web.  It is connected in dimensions to other thoughts, actions or things.  The more connections, the larger the node appears. 

Music is just one example - but one that, second only to family, gives life a sense of purpose (a fiction that is essential to happiness).

Sound Samples - Classical Memes - 2min

All artists are in the business of meme creation. They may protest that they create for themselves.  Those for whom this is true are unknown to us as their memes died with them.  Musicians have been creating enormously powerful memes since the dawn of our species.  I would predict that member of contemporary upperclass western culture would recognise most of these samples and be able to name at least a few. 


These samples are memes in themselves - but much longer memes - one verse, one movement, the whole opus also exist at much lower frequency - how many people listen to the whole of even the first movement of Beethoven's Fifth ?

These atoms of culture when some memes loose power and other gain power. 


So 


Vocalisation as part of sound communication in addition to stamping, banging clubs, body stance and movement was probably in wide use between Hominoidea possibly up to 30 million years ago.  Cultures evolved effective vocalisations for a range of situations - e.g. grooming, mating and most importantly - signalling and fighting. 

Sounds: 2001

Our addiction to memes, seemingly regardless of their influence on our survival, is well known - for instance to junk food advertisers and politicians.

  protestations to being creating only for themselves

in form, from the viewpoint of their spread and  of the way that  that influence and thus history 

way of thinking as the label brings together


Every thought, action or thing is a node in the web of existence with innumerable connections in space and time.

Consider "La Marseillaise".   The name alone is recognised in probably more people than know of the town to which it refers.  The tune is instantly recognisable by an even greater proportion. This powerful node links to France, nationalism, history, revolution, militarism, march music, battle music, and the commercialisation of memes.

The tune is an immensely powerful meme. The lyrics are mutualistic in that they add power but comparatively rarely exist on their own.  

Some people spend significant portions of their life in deliberate attempts to create memes.  A meme's success is measured by it's frequency and spread over time and space.  Beethoven, Dickens, Yves_Saint_Laurent - all created powerful memes through the creation of works that continue to replicate and spread all over the planet.  Huge numbers of minor talents spend hours on the internet partly enticed by the faint possibility that their meme will go viral.   The scale of the meme's recognition brings money and power.  

Rouget de Lisle was explicitly set the task of enhancing the power of French troops by giving them a song to sing.  


Many have used the meme's power by swapping their own lyrics - catholic, russia, civil war ec

Memes are a big business people trying with all their might to create them every day.

It is significant because it is one of the most successful musical memes on the planet at this moment.    Since the most likely date of composition (25 April 1792), the music spread rapidly through France, then Europe, then North America, and has been "used" in a range of countries for a range of purposes by changing the lyrics.

The original purpose of the song was to improve the effectiveness of French soldiers.

Even though La Marseillaise sounds like a dinner sauce or a mispronunciation of Marseilles, it's sound is instantly recognisable by a very large proportion of people who grew up under the influence of almost any European Culture.


It's story could start with the earliest threat vocalisation that evolved probably in early chordates such as tetrapods even before the dinosaurs.
