Papua New Guinea is rocked by 'horrific acts of cannibalism' as bow and arrow-wielding gang poses with body parts vowing to 'cook and eat it'

Papua New Guinea has been rocked by 'horrific acts of cannibalism' with a bow and arrow-wielding gang seen posing with hacked off body parts.

In grisly photos published Monday on the front page of the nation's largest newspaper, the Papua New Guinea Post-Courier, a group of machete-wielding men dangle what appears to be a severed human foot.

Although the men are not filmed eating the body part, one of them appears to make a licking gesture while holding it up for the camera, while others around him smile and point to the chopped-off limb.

Papua New Guinea's Police Minister Peter Tsiamalili said he was deeply troubled by the images that appeared to depict 'horrific acts of cannibalism'.

'A violent confrontation between two brothers escalated, leading to a heartbreaking outcome,' he told AFP.

'The conflict saw villagers taking sides, ultimately resulting in the gruesome killing of the elder brother by the younger sibling.'

In the video which has gone viral on social media, several men armed with bows and arrows are seen brandishing parts of severed bodies, the newspaper said.   

The Courier also reported that police are set to fly into the area to investigate the killing of seven people over the weekend amid claims from one local that 'this is our meat, we will cook and eat it'.

Tsiamalili said in a separate statement dated Sunday 'such barbarity does not define us as a people or a nation'.

'These barbaric actions by a group of youths not only shock our collective conscience but also pose a grave threat to the societal values that bind us as a nation,' he said.

'Such acts of inhumanity are intolerable and represent a significant challenge to our shared humanity.'

Police traced the images to the Goilala district in the country's jungle-clad interior.

The killing took place 'a month ago' in Saki Village, Tsiamalili said, although the video had only recently gained traction online.    

Papua New Guinea has long been tarred by outdated tropes that paint its people as savages.

Historically, cannibalism has been documented among a small number of tribes in remote parts of Papua New Guinea.

United States President Joe Biden last year quipped that his fighter pilot uncle may have been eaten by cannibals after he was shot down during World War II.

'He got shot down in New Guinea, and they never found the body because there used to be a lot of cannibals, for real, in that part of New Guinea,' Biden said.

Papua New Guinea Prime Minister James Marape later dismissed the gaffe as 'loose' talk on the part of the president.

'I've met him on four occasions, until today, and on every occasion he's always had warm regards for Papua New Guinea,' Marape said.

'Never in those moments (has) he spoke of PNG as cannibals,' he added.

Why do you keep starting different threads on the same topic when your stupidity has already been PROVEN in each and every one of them already?

Clothes they could never make
Smiles and chop-licking gestures fully aware of the camera, fully switched on to electronic media

21st century meets the barbaric, primitive stone age.

"Just people like us", innit?

No.

Just because there is no evidence of cannibalism among indigenous people "today", Brian, does not mean that there was not cannibalism among indigenous people in the past.

Cannibalism on all continents seems to be rare but not unheard of. When that lady in South Australia tried to feed her children cooked body parts before a raid stopped the attempt, it does not mean that all Australians are partakers of cannibalism.

Given that explorers have witnessed indigenous Australians eating their dead children, it would not be all that far-fetched to think that cannibalism among indigenous people happened commonly until the 1960s. No reports have been made public about cannibalism in Australia (other than the bodies in the barrels incident) since then.

WOW - I thought there still was - because they are stone aged savages.

No Cannibalism in Australia with Aborigines at all?

I was told by the NT Health Department that it still happens - they still eat dead children.

But you know better. You are all wise and all knowing.

No one is denying that Cannibalism was practiced in the long past, UnSub.  What is being questioned is "Boris's" claim that it is ongoing without any documentary proof.  You seem to believe it is still occurring.  Why?  What proof do you have that it occurs?  Any at all?  No, I didn't think so.  Tsk, tsk, tsk...  ::) ::)

You are referring to the case of Katherine Knight.  It occurred in NSW, not South Australia.  She is imprisoned in the Silverwater Women's Correctional Centre in NSW.  She committed her crime in 2000.  She was sentenced to life imprisonment without parole.

Proof?

How's this for proof:

This is the reality - you know the thing you fear?

"Only children of tender age—up to about two years old—are considered fit subjects for food, and if they fall ill are often strangled by the old men, cooked, and eaten, and all parts except the head, which is skinned and buried, are considered a delicacy. Parents eat their own children, and all, young and old, partake of it."

They did this for millennia and I believe it still happens now - and it was recorded up to the 1990s but according to you it never happened - they still rape and murder children and even babies and you are happy with that but you refuse to accept the children are still been or were until very recently - cannibaliused.

You really are a deluded fool.

Noble Savages are they?

Brandenstein recorded it in the Pilbara when he was there. Were you there?

the late Dr C.G. von Brandenstein, who learnt at least four Pilbara languages, told me once that in hard times, dead infants would routinely go ‘into the pot’.

The Linguist von Brandenstein who worked with these people for 30 years was an eye witness and spoke of "dead infants would routinely go ‘into the pot’."

So that is from 1960 to 1990 from an eminent scholar...

But according to you it never happened.

Not ever? Never?

It fits with this:

Cannibalism is practised by all natives on the north coast with whom I have come in contact, with the exception of a very small tribe inhabiting the immediate neighbourhood of Port Essington … The eating of grown-up people—that is, of natives—is, as far as I can ascertain, not practised. Only children of tender age—up to about two years old—are considered fit subjects for food, and if they fall ill are often strangled by the old men, cooked, and eaten, and all parts except the head, which is skinned and buried, are considered a delicacy. Parents eat their own children, and all, young and old, partake of it. The only instance I have heard where grown-up people have been eaten, was that of two Europeans who were out exploring in the neighbourhood of the Tor Rock, about forty miles inland from Mount Norris Bay; this was in 1874. These unfortunate travellers were, according to the statements of the friendly natives, killed by the ‘Tor Rock’ tribe, cooked and eaten; and…

Up to 1975 Papua and New Guinea were part of Australia and PNG natives were Indigenous Australians.

In fact many Islands near PNG are Australia with PNG Natives on them that are Australian Indigenous Torres Straight Islanders - also Cannibals.

You know they murder and rape babies - you are happy with that because their Kultcha is sacred to you - but you draw the line at munching on babies - raping them is OK according to you.

PNG still happens - and also Arnhem Land I am told.

Bull Crap - it was recorded and it is well known Aborigines were / are Cannibals

It was dismissed in the earliest accounts of Watkin Tench, a mariner on the First Fleet: ‘From their manner of disposing of those who die […] as well as from every other observation, there seems no reason to suppose these people cannibals’.



With regard to cannibalistic acts as practised by Australian
Aborigines, R. M. & C. H. Berndt '^ have shown, in a masterly
analysis of the principal reports available, that the majority of
these acts were of a ceremonial nature. The greatest number
of these practices were associated with the pietistic burial ritual;
whUst in many instances also the whole or part of the bodies
of Aborigines killed in battle were eaten by their enemies.
Other instances, were recorded, however, of the eating of the
flesh of Aboriginal men, women, and children; and it would be
untrue to say that all of these acts were performed from
pietistic motives, or out of revenge.
It is the intention of these notes to deal broadly with the
cannibalistic practices carried out by Australian Aborigines
and recorded by observers, to try to draw some conclusions
from them and to endeavour to apply these conclusions to
Queensland examples drawn from 19th Century observers and
archival sources.

According to R. M. and C. H. Berndt the practice of pietistic
burial cannibalism (known also as endo-cannibalism) was very
widespread throughout Australia. In many cases the whole of
the body, except the bones, intestines, and genitalia, was eaten:
however, the Dieri '^ and adjacent tribes of Central Australia
ate only the fatty parts of the face, thighs, arms, and stomach.
G. M. Sweeney ^^ reported instances of the practice of endocannibalism in Arnhem Land as recently as 1939. McCarthy ^''
concluded that the most important functions and meanings of
the whole of the funerary ritual were to assure the subject
"that his death is regretted, and in certain circumstances wUl
be avenged, that his body will be given traditional treatment,
and to ensure that his eternal and immortal spirit will be directed
and delivered so far as possible to its proper spirit home".
If this is correct, members of the deceased's tribal group would
have reason to fear the deceased's spirit if the traditional rites
were not observed. In some cases the participants hoped, by
partaking of the flesh of the deceased, to increase their strength >*;
in others to improve their hunting abiUty.^^



Whilst many historians and anthropologists urge great caution in applying European labels to pre-contact and early-contact indigenous practices, it is generally accepted that Aborigines and Torres Strait Islanders — in some areas, in rare circumstances, and in the conduct of rituals — practised some forms of anthropophagy, notably mortuary cannibalism.[10] From an anthropological perspective, these practices had meanings to their practitioners that are not readily translated into colonial categories; anthropologists resist reading anthropophagous practices through the squeamish lens of Western cannibal myths, particularly where those myths are mobilised into debates about race-based hierarchies.

Good Cannibalism?

Bates proved it with the bones of babies discarded after they were eaten - Bates told the truth.

So they WERE cannibals.
They just didn't imagine man-eating in the same terms as Europeans.

The facts are the same, the interpretation of facts differ according to culture.

Diversity of cultural practices is our strength...

Don't call me a liar - a mariner on the First Fleet - saw nothing but it was recorded inland.

Australia
While it is generally accepted that some forms of cannibalism were practised in Australia in certain circumstances, the prevalence and meaning of such acts in pre-colonial Aboriginal societies are disputed.

[6] Before colonization, Aboriginal Australians were predominantly nomadic hunter-gatherers at times lacking in protein sources. Reported cases of cannibalism include killing and eating small children (infanticide was widely practised as a means of population control and because mothers had trouble carrying two young children not yet able to walk)[7][8][9] and enemy warriors slain in battle.[10][11][12]

In the late 1920s, the anthropologist Géza Róheim heard from Aboriginals that infanticidal cannibalism had been practised especially during droughts. "Years ago it had been custom for every second child to be eaten" – the baby was roasted and consumed not only by the mother, but also by the older siblings, who benefited from this meat during times of food scarcity. One woman told him that her little sister had been roasted, but denied having eaten of her. Another "admitted having killed and eaten her small daughter", and several other people he talked to remembered having "eaten one of their brothers".[13] The consumption of infants took two different forms, depending on where it was practised:

When the Yumu, Pindupi, Ngali, or Nambutji were hungry, they ate small children with neither ceremonial nor animistic motives. Among the southern tribes, the Matuntara, Mularatara, or Pitjentara, every second child was eaten in the belief that the strength of the first child would be doubled by such a procedure.[14]

Usually only babies who had not yet received a name (which happened around the first birthday) were consumed, but in times of severe hunger, older children (up to four years or so) could be killed and eaten too, though people tended to have bad feelings about this. Babies were killed by their mother, while a bigger child "would be killed by the father by being beaten on the head".[15] But cases of women killing older children are on record too. In 1904 a parish priest in Broome, Western Australia, stated that infanticide was very common, including one case where a four-year-old was "killed and eaten by its mother", who later became a Christian.[16]

Historian William Rubinstein writes that both "deliberate infanticide" and "the practice of the cannibalism of a murdered baby [were] apparently common" in Australia.[17] A number of reports indicate that newborn infants were sometimes killed by their mothers, who then feed the flesh to an older sibling in order to strengthen the older child in that way.[18][19] The Norwegian ethnographer Carl Sofus Lumholtz confirms that infants were commonly killed and eaten especially in times of food scarcity. He notes that people spoke of such acts "as an everyday occurrence, and not at all as anything remarkable."[20]

Oh, dearie, dearie, me, "Boris" you are getting silly in your efforts to produce some evidence about Cannibalism amongst Indigenous Australians.  I suppose your going to trot out the case of Henry Preston in 1827?  A certain, "Hole-in-the-Book" having supposedly murdered and eaten Henry Preston by Preston's employer one John Jamieson at Bong Bong in NSW.  Problem was, Henry Preston walked out of the bush alive and well, having gotten lost when travelling from Jamieson's station.  Jamieson was placed on trial and acquitted by the court for having committed "justifiable homicide."  Seems like Jamieson, "Boris" you are telling porkies.  Tsk, tsk, tsk...   ::) ::)

Here is evidence - In Papua New Guinea - Cannibalism - Now - Today.

And just a very short distance away are Australian Aborigines who also have a long history of Cannibalism.

Dead children "go into the Pot"

the late Dr C.G. von Brandenstein, who learnt at least four Pilbara languages, told me once that in hard times, dead infants would routinely go ‘into the pot’.

The Linguist von Brandenstein who worked with these people for 30 years was an eye witness and spoke of "dead infants would routinely go ‘into the pot’."

So that is from 1960 to 1990 from an eminent scholar...

Fits with historical accounts:

"Only children of tender age—up to about two years old—are considered fit subjects for food, and if they fall ill are often strangled by the old men, cooked, and eaten, and all parts except the head, which is skinned and buried, are considered a delicacy. Parents eat their own children, and all, young and old, partake of it."

According to R. M. and C. H. Berndt the practice of pietistic
burial cannibalism (known also as endo-cannibalism) was very
widespread throughout Australia. In many cases the whole of
the body, except the bones, intestines, and genitalia, was eaten:
however, the Dieri '^ and adjacent tribes of Central Australia
ate only the fatty parts of the face, thighs, arms, and stomach.
G. M. Sweeney ^^ reported instances of the practice of endocannibalism in Arnhem Land as recently as 1939. McCarthy ^''
concluded that the most important functions and meanings of
the whole of the funerary ritual were to assure the subject
"that his death is regretted, and in certain circumstances wUl
be avenged, that his body will be given traditional treatment,
and to ensure that his eternal and immortal spirit will be directed
and delivered so far as possible to its proper spirit home".
If this is correct, members of the deceased's tribal group would
have reason to fear the deceased's spirit if the traditional rites
were not observed. In some cases the participants hoped, by
partaking of the flesh of the deceased, to increase their strength >*;
in others to improve their hunting abiUty.^^
Although not as commonly practised in Australia as burial
cannibalism, acts of revenge cannibalism were nevertheless widespread. There again some ceremonial was almost invariably
observed. By some tribes all of the body except the bones,
intestines and genitalia was eaten; by others, only the flesh of
the arms and legs; by others, only that of the hands and the
feet; by others, only the kidney fat. Howitt 2° made a distinction
between revenge cannibalism and the practice of eating the
kidney fat of both enemies and fellow tribesmen for magical
reasons. Elsewhere ^^ he stated, however, that the Theddora
and Ngarigo ate the hands and the feet of their enemies killed
in raids, and in eating them they acquired, as they thought,
"some part of their qualities and courage". Bates ^'^ came to
similar conclusions after a study of some of the desert tribes

of Western Australia. This belief, however, was in direct
contrast to that of the Maoris of New Zealand as recorded
by Thomson ^^

R. M. & C. H. Berndt 24 concluded that the practice of
killing the very young seemed to have been carried out
occasionally over almost all Aboriginal AustraUa, but that
infanticide was not invariably followed by eating the flesh.
Howitt 25 found instances where young children were eaten by
members of the Kaura tribe near Adelaide during hard
summers; and where the flesh of young children of the
Wotjobaluk tribe was eaten by their elder brothers and sisters
to make them strong.26 He reported also 2? that all the tribes
of the Wotjo nation and on the Murray River frontage used
at times, when an older child was weak and sickly, to kill its
infant brother or sister and feed it on the flesh. Bates 2«
also recorded examples of the practice of infant cannibalism
by the desert tribes of South and Western AustraUa.
Thomas 2^ recorded a case on the Gascoigne River in Western
Australia where an Aboriginal girl was killed and eaten by
a native who decoyed her away. "She was very plump; the
object of killing her was to acquire this desirable quality".
Bleakle> ^^ also referred to "rare cases .. . of the killing and
eating of a young girl on a special ritual occasion"; but his
information is not documented. Bates ^"^ wrote of the
Kaalurwonga east of the Boundary Dam who killed and ate
fat men, women, and girls. Elsewhere she stated ^°^ that
"wanton women in any camp" (i.e., among the West Australian
desert tribes) could be lawfully killed and eaten, and this
may be a key to the motivation for some cannibalistic practices
of this nature.

You know the babies are raped and murdered - you accept that behaviour but you baulk at the children being eaten - Rape and murder is OK according to you but you are in absolute denial about Cannibalism.

It is covered up.

Nearly one in five Aboriginal children aged less than 16 years old in Western Australia had unregistered births according to new research that means thousands of Aboriginal children are likely to have no official identity.

Published today in The Australian and New Zealand Journal of Public Health, the finding, made by linking birth records from the WA Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages to births recorded in the state’s Midwives Notification System, revealed that 4,628 Aboriginal births to Aboriginal mothers weren’t recorded in the Registry in the 16 years from 1996 to 2012.

While the Midwives Notification System records all births that were attended or had follow up care provided by a midwife or doctor, Birth Registrations records only include those children where the parent/s have lodged an application to register the birth. Registration records contain demographic information about the child and parents.

“In its current form, Western Australia’s birth registration system doesn’t ensure that all children have registered births,” said the report’s lead author, University of Sydney PhD student, Alison Gibberd.

The new report reveals that from 1996 to 2012, unregistered Aboriginal births were more common among mothers who were teenagers when they had their first child, and among those living in socioeconomically disadvantaged and remote areas. Aboriginal children born to mothers aged less than 16 years were five times more likely to be unregistered than those born to mothers aged 30 years and older.

Unregistered births were also more common among babies born in rural hospitals, when a mother smoked during pregnancy, or had an alcohol-related diagnosis near the time of the birth. Children born to mothers whose own birth was unregistered and who had no private health insurance were three times more likely to be unregistered.

Despite the flawed data, the Senate inquiry heard 20% of missing women in Australia are Aboriginal women. The report found First Nations children and youth are over-represented in the out-of-home care system (approximately one in 18) and are

markedly overrepresented in reports of missing children. These children make up 53% of missing children reports.

Not only are First Nations women and children more likely to go missing, they are less likely to be found.

This is fact this is reality

Not only are First Nations women and children more likely to go missing, they are less likely to be found.

the Senate inquiry heard 20% of missing women in Australia are Aboriginal women. The report found First Nations children and youth are over-represented in the out-of-home care system (approximately one in 18) and are markedly overrepresented in reports of missing children. These children make up 53% of missing children reports.

Brian's argument is that if there are no reports of cannibalism in the last week, then there were no cases of cannibalism in the last 50 years. Brian has no reason to think that indigenous Australians would not kill you if you looked at them in the eye.

Brian cannibalises himself with a bit of yoga each night.

What is the basis in beliefs - spiritual and ccultural- of cannibalism, mistreatment of women and children, sexual and physical violence, sexual and bloody initiation and the rest.
Have these beliefs changed and if so, when and why?

The evidence is overwhelming that beliefs, spiritual and cultural, relating to physical and sexual violence have not been abandoned.

The is evidence that cannibalism was practiced for spiritual and cultural reasons. There is no evidence that these beliefs have been abandoned by Aborigines who still live remotely and are largely untouched by the civilising effects of colonialism with no English or modern cultural influences.

First Nations children make up 53% of missing children reports.

Killed and eaten.

Where are the bodies?

Nationally, First Nations women are seven times more likely to be homicide victims than non-Indigenous women, and of those women, 75% are killed by a current or former partner.

First Nations women are 33 times more likely to be hospitalised due to family and domestic violence than non-Indigenous women.

For starters the babies are not registered so nobody knows they were born so when they are missing or killed they are not reported.

How much of this is rooted in their beliefs and culture?

What are beliefs that lead to physical and sexual violence?
What are the beliefs that lead to cannibalism? What are the beliefs that lead to superstition, magic, pointing the bone, humbugging, payback etc??

There have been reported cases of murder in this country for the last 230 years. But, I bet you have never seen one committed. So, if you claim that you saw a murder happen, how are we supposed to believe that it happened?

From what I have gathered from Boris' posts, he claims to have witnessed remains of dead babies that were cannibalised. I don't know if he is telling the truth. But, even if he was able to document with video and audio evidence, people do have the right to believe or dismiss his evidence.

And a significant percentage of the rest are done by other family members, and in some places the figure is officially fifteen time more likely to be killed, but that's when calculated across the entire population (all them Other blokes killing Aboriginal women, yeah... yeah) and not just the Aboriginal population.  Within their own demographic they are many time more likely to be killed, and that's without even considering Other women who may be victims of Aborigines.  93-94% in the Northern Territory are Aboriginal women killed.

A full review of exactly who is doing what is demanded.... full and open figures and ACTION .... we white fullahs actually kill buggar all women - despite grievous provocation...   ;D  ;D  ;D

"Boris" has stated that he has not witnessed anything, Unsub.  "Boris" appears to be lying.  He produces bullshit evidence from Daisy Bates, a bigamist and a known liar.  He produces evidence from some mythical anthropologist who can supposedly gabble in multiple Indigenous Australian languages from the Pilbara.  He produces evidence from Quadrant Magazine a known Racist journal.  Unsub, he is basically a Racist Troll.  Tsk, tsk, tsk...   ::) ::)

I saw raped and murdered babies - more than I want to remember but I never saw cannibalised children but I was told on good authority that is was common

the late Dr C.G. von Brandenstein, who learnt at least four Pilbara languages, told me once that in hard times, dead infants would routinely go ‘into the pot’.

The Linguist von Brandenstein who worked with these people for 30 years was an eye witness and spoke of "dead infants would routinely go ‘into the pot’."

So that is from 1960 to 1990 from an eminent scholar...

Fits with historical accounts:

"Only children of tender age—up to about two years old—are considered fit subjects for food, and if they fall ill are often strangled by the old men, cooked, and eaten, and all parts except the head, which is skinned and buried, are considered a delicacy. Parents eat their own children, and all, young and old, partake of it."

You know the babies are raped and murdered - you accept that behaviour but you baulk at the children being eaten - Rape and murder is OK according to you but you are in absolute denial about Cannibalism.

It is covered up.


It is covered up to fit the narrative.

We are lied to and evidence is withheld.

Youranus is like you ... full of shyte.

quote:

On 15 August 2024 the national report of the Senate Inquiry into Missing and Murdered First Nations
Women and Children was tabled in the Australian Parliament.

This Inquiry was an important first step in bringing the devastating realities of the epidemic of
violence facing First Nations women and children to national attention.

Djirra was particularly pleased the Inquiry extended its hearings into Victoria based on our strong
advocacy for the voices and experiences of Victorian First Nations women to be heard.

But this Inquiry was only a very first step.

If the recommendations had been bolder and centred more on urgent, practical action Governments
must take for First Nations women’s and children’s safety – it could have been an even bigger step.

One message has always been clear – our women and children are not safe.

For over 2 years, First Nations people and family violence experts from across this country made 87
written submissions and shared many hours of testimony to this Inquiry.

Many First Nations people trusted and bravely opened their hearts to re-tell stories of heartache,
loss, and of being failed by the systems that are supposed to keep them and their loved ones safe.

Our people told our truths.

“Truth is uncomfortable. It can be painful. But it must be spoken, written down, and heard. And
governments must act upon it,” says Djirra CEO and Change the Record Co-Chair Antoinette
Braybrook AM.

“You cannot un-hear us now. We are watching, and we will continue to demand change.”
“This must not be yet another report that sits on a shelf gathering dust.”

Extreme rates of violence
Despite the flawed data, those that were captured show the extreme and disproportionate rate of violence against First Nations women.

National Homicide Monitoring Program data on murdered First Nations women and children from 1989–1990 to 2022–2023 show 476 women were recorded as victims of homicide (murder and manslaughter). 158 children were recorded as victims of homicide (murder, manslaughter and infanticide).

First Nations women represented 16 per cent of all Australian women homicide victims, despite comprising between 2–3 per cent of the adult female population.

First Nations children represented 13 per cent of all child homicide victims.

Counting missing First Nations women and children was equally problematic, somewhat owing to some jurisdictions not recording Indigenous status in their figures.

Despite the flawed data, the Senate inquiry heard 20% of missing women in Australia are Aboriginal women. The report found First Nations children and youth are over-represented in the out-of-home care system (approximately one in 18) and are “markedly overrepresented in reports of missing children. These children make up 53% of missing children reports.”

Not only are First Nations women and children more likely to go missing, they are less likely to be found.

The inquiry also heard the problematic nature of the language of “missing” as being passive, and somehow suggestive that people go deliberately missing. We agree with Amy McQuire’s argument that these First Nations women and children are not missing – but disappeared.

You're raving again, Smith - I never claimed any such thing... I merely ask the questions you find so difficult to understand let alone answer.

DO they still eat kids?  Show us the research that says they don't - now then - about all those disappearances........ I think a full Commission investigation, similar to the one into women deaths at home (you understand) could be illuminating...   :-?

"it has stopped"!  You admit it did happen!  You're as weak in the mind as Skanka - because I don't say something I must be saying it without saying it, and if I raise the issue of missing young women 'out there' and the never-ending violence against women - no matter how solidly supported those views are and no matter how many times in the past I have done so - it's nothing but a mask for some agenda to punch down on the poor old innocent Aborigine....  clearly you two are just not up to it.

You clowns are so steeped in the 'victimhood of Abos industry' that you would see a shower of gold as being oppression of them by forcing them to buy more booze and thus creating genocide by proxy.

Why not just be honest for a change and simply say you, and your supporters, don't want to see Abos prosper and thrive as a reliable set of members of our modern Australia, but you prefer that they continue to live in the mud and kill one another at whim and commit crimes and end up in prisons where they have a better diet and a higher life expectancy than 'outside' running the gauntlet of their own follies and their 'community's' ...... try something different...

Don't need any - I'm the one asking for evidence one way or tha other - your repeating yourself over and over won't change that.

Now then - show us that your pets don't eat kids...

Jeez - they're already ahead 1-0 in the missus elimination stakes...

Tell me Grappler are you still beating your wife/girlfriend?  I want to see documentary proof.  Nothing else will satisfy me.  Nothing.

Proving a negative is virtually impossible.  I don't think you beat your wife/girlfriend.  However, I demand proof that you've stopped it!  Tsk, tsk, tsk...  ::) ::)

But the proof is there that it was in operation - and you and others fearlessly defend that by asserting without evidence that it was not so.... the same standard now applies to you to prove that it does not persist to this day.

All of this cannibalism stuff was dealt with when the odious Hanson creature made her ridiculous claims in what she called a book.

Bet Gonads bought it and it sits proudly on his bookshelf ... if he has one.

The only verifiable incidences of cannabalism in First Nations peoples were as a part of a funeral rite where close kin partook respectfully of small parts of the deceased through the course of a complicated funeral ritual ... or in the case of maybe one group of people who ate parts of warriors they had defeated. According to academics, this practice was met with revulsion by other First Nations people when they were told o it.

But i've said all this before. ... backed it up ... provided the links ... offered pathways to further research .... alll before.

How and when DID that spiritual belief and cultural practice stop?, if it has stopped. Who can say it has stopped?

Why did this one stop but not the vicious mistreatment of women, other beliefs and superstitions about magic, witchcraft, curses, payback, etc?

Not one person has ever denied it. Not one.

What has been denied is Boris' fanciful and hateful accusations based on academically refuted sources as to the circumstances of cannibalism. In fact, you don't need to dig very deep to see how offesive his comments are.

but you won't dig.

But i've said all of this to you before. This time, like the the last half dozen, will be forgotten by you next time you want a cheap thrill and Boris is feeling irrelevant again.

Very hard to ascertain with small bands isolated primitive people who have no writing or other rec oird of their lives and bel iuefs and customs. All you can rely on is what you see yourself and document - hard with secret business which, by definition,  excludes outsiders. Or you document what they tell you - but as Margaret Mead and others found, they are not always truthful. So you piece together what you have and judge to be reliable and compare notes with others.

Which is how we know that
Aboriginal cannibalism occured
It occured for cultural and spiritual reasons, that is, approved by some sort of cultural conception (not a broken taboo driven by desperate hunger).



So my questions:
What beliefs and customs
When were these beliefs abandoned and why if they have been abandoned
If some age old spiritual and cultural customs can be so abandoned, why not other, equally repellent or absurd ones aren't abandoned.

No uncited blurb, no Google.

Turn your mind - if that's the word in your case - to the points I made.

... and so the self-declaration of failure begins - the personal sledge ....   ;D  ;D  ;D  ;D  ;D

Well - if they definitely did eat people - who's to say they don't now?  So Hanson was right... and a full inquiry - like the women killing at home stakes - would be revealing, no?

As a society - a culture over-riding the 'Aboriginal culture' - holding it within the bounds of civilisation - we need to be considering - with a real Commission - where all those disappearing people are going never to be found....  Far Eastern Sex Slave Trade or similar?  Sold like girl children in Afghanistan by poor parents?  Mobile spare parts factories for surgeons?

1 it is History recorded many times by many people in many places - it is not mere stuff.
2 "the odious Hanson creature" is dehumanisation and devaluing a human being which shows you are mentally ill.
3 "ridiculous claim" it is not a claim and not ridiculous but factual telling of History.
4 "what she called a book" is actually a book.

So you are seriously mentally ill and you clearly show this with your words. Narcissism - you dehumanise and devalue people and gaslight.

Has there ever been Cannibalism with Australian Aborigines? YES!
Any recent cases? YES!
Does it still occur now? Possibly!

But arguing with a Narcissist is pointless.

No not at all - you are 100% wrong - It was also recorded for food - even recently - dead children went into the pot.

Historical account:

"Only children of tender age—up to about two years old—are considered fit subjects for food, and if they fall ill are often strangled by the old men, cooked, and eaten, and all parts except the head, which is skinned and buried, are considered a delicacy. Parents eat their own children, and all, young and old, partake of it."

Here the children were murdered first once they fell ill they were strangled.

and more recent accounts:

the late Dr C.G. von Brandenstein, who learnt at least four Pilbara languages, said once that in hard times, dead infants would routinely go ‘into the pot’.

It was recorded by both Brandts.

William D. Rubinstein

Sep 25 2021



“Cannibalism is practised by all natives on the north coast with whom I have come in contact, with the exception of a very small tribe inhabiting the immediate neighbourhood of Port Essington … The eating of grown-up people—that is, of natives—is, as far as I can ascertain, not practised. Only children of tender age—up to about two years old—are considered fit subjects for food, and if they fall ill are often strangled by the old men, cooked, and eaten, and all parts except the head, which is skinned and buried, are considered a delicacy. Parents eat their own children, and all, young and old, partake of it. The only instance I have heard where grown-up people have been eaten, was that of two Europeans who were out exploring in the neighbourhood of the Tor Rock, about forty miles inland from Mount Norris Bay; this was in 1874. These unfortunate travellers were, according to the statements of the friendly natives, killed by the ‘Tor Rock’ tribe, cooked and eaten; and…

In the late 1920s, the anthropologist Géza Róheim heard from Aboriginals that infanticidal cannibalism had been practised especially during droughts. "Years ago it had been custom for every second child to be eaten" – the baby was roasted and consumed not only by the mother, but also by the older siblings, who benefited from this meat during times of food scarcity. One woman told him that her little sister had been roasted, but denied having eaten of her. Another "admitted having killed and eaten her small daughter", and several other people he talked to remembered having "eaten one of their brothers".[13] The consumption of infants took two different forms, depending on where it was practised:

When the Yumu, Pindupi, Ngali, or Nambutji were hungry, they ate small children with neither ceremonial nor animistic motives. Among the southern tribes, the Matuntara, Mularatara, or Pitjentara, every second child was eaten in the belief that the strength of the first child would be doubled by such a procedure.[14]

Usually only babies who had not yet received a name (which happened around the first birthday) were consumed, but in times of severe hunger, older children (up to four years or so) could be killed and eaten too, though people tended to have bad feelings about this. Babies were killed by their mother, while a bigger child "would be killed by the father by being beaten on the head".[15] But cases of women killing older children are on record too.

Well - the only viable alternative to bringing them all into the fold of Civilisation and functioning in One Society under One Law etc - is to give them a Two State Solution - where they can just go at it to their heart's content until last one standing..

It's 2025 - they are either part of this nation or they are not - and if they are - they must abide by the laws of the land, same as anyone else.  If they all do that - we might get a start on resolving all their problems of killing the missus and disappearing kids etc.... a Trail Of Tears is better than their current Trail of Beers... the one where they grab low or no alcohol beer and lace it with hand sanitiser......  now that's desperate.... and then clout the old girl with a rock for 'not listening' in the vernacular of Thomas Mayo ...

... but I haven't tried to prove anything...... only asked for full information and a commission into disappearances...  plenty of evidence amounting to proof has been provided - so someone has to prove that they no longer do it... so far not a shred of evidence apart from verbal denials...

53% of all missing children are Aborigine.

Many are never seen again.

No laughing matter. The murder rate for Aborigine women and children is extremely high.

I say those missing children are murdered and possibly eaten.

I say it is a high likelihood they have been killed and eaten.

All the lefties here can do is denigrate and abuse.

But the fact remains the history of Cannibalism is something to be considered.

I believe it is still happening. And for saying that I am abused by the Left.

It is relevant. Just ignoring it does not make it irrelevant, mince-o.

It obviously had cultural, spiritual roots. What happened to those beliefs? Are they abandoned or just driven underground, hidden, secret?

If they have been abandoned we need to understand why and when, not least because we can then have other superstitious and barbaric Aboriginal beliefs and customs also discarded.

Very relevant.

53% of all missing children are Aborigine. 2% of the population and 53% of all missing children. That is relevant - they are violent people.

Many are never seen again. All those missing children - never seen again.

No laughing matter. The murder rate for Aborigine women and children is extremely high. Much higher than for non-Aborigines.

I say those missing children are murdered and possibly eaten.

I say it is a high likelihood they have been killed and eaten.

Historically and recently it has been known and recorded.

It was still going on in the Pilbara up to 1990 as far as I know. Also well known in Arnhem Land.

So are you Leftists saying there is no chance these missing children have been eaten?

None whatsoever?

I say you are out of touch with reality.

First Nations women represented 16 per cent of all Australian women homicide victims, despite comprising between 2–3 per cent of the adult female population.

First Nations children represented 13 per cent of all child homicide victims.

Where are the corpses of the missing children?

Why does that not matter to you?

Well, there's the calibre of Aboriginal 'thinking'.

Given that we've already ascertained that you are stupid, your opinion doesn't count.

Seeings a slab of beer is around $50 to $60 that's not too bad a bonus.

I know a brown nose like you wouldn't have wanted a bonus.  ;) :P

i should be waddling like you perhaps?

Anyway - let's not make a feast of this cannibalism issue - stick to the bare bones of it, first and foremost... get our teeth into the meaty bits..... you can slag off at one another any time ... now let's get this on the boil...... get that pot roasting there.....

In the past, our cannibals ate their young...... so in remote areas, do they still eat their young etc... and where do all those people who disappear out there go?  The great snake get them or something?  Mobile spare parts factories for the body parts replacement industry?  Fresh new wombs for trannies or something?  In just seven days I can make you a man .... or something...

All Leftist abuse aside.

Children are missing.

Where are they. Where are the corpses?

Why does the Left not care?

When Aborigine men take another woman to seed. They generally kill the offspring she's had to another so full attention and food is for his offspring.

Well between the ears you are ... so don't feel bad.

Smith - stand in the corner and put on that dunce cap - you're interrupting the free flow of discussion... which is your aim, of course, since you have nothing else in your ammo locker.
