Subject: re Aborignal war

Introduction: In 1988 a large cache of weapons disappeared from a ship in Fremantle Port... it is believed that these could be the weapons, in part, being referred to below.

On ANZAC day in 1989 our informant saw at least 4 boxes of M16s being taken off a large aluminium boat at Point Sampson in the Pilbarra. He followed the four Aborigines in the old Landrover carrying the weapons to the Roeburne Hotel.

This happened two days after Cyclone Orsan - a cyclone with the same force as Cyclone Tracey - the one that devastated Darwin.

What should also be looked at is the death of Aborigine John Patt who allegedly died in Roeburne in the late 70s at the hands of three policemen.


J.C's email statement:

"If the poeple of this country doubt that the aboriginal lunatic fringe is able to and prepared to commit public violence in the form of armed insurrection, I suggest that they take note of the events that will unfold as we move closer to the new millenium. Here is a hint for you. How much do you want to bet that the trouble will start in Western Australia, in particular, the Goldfields and the Pilbarra and be centred on two aboriginal zones of influence (reserves).

"Please keep a copy of this so that when the time comes, you will see that I have spoken the truth.

"If the people of this nation could only see the stockpiled weapons and ammunition as I have, then they would howl and scream until our politicians reversed the current gun laws.

"Politicians should stop sticking their collective heads in the sand because when they do that, they forget the old saying "an Ostrich who sticks his head in the sand leaves his arse exposed to the world"

"The only evidence I have is my own eyes.

"The weapons and ammunition have been stockpiled at Warburton mission for at least the last (1)5 years and at Roeburne since the death of John Patt. Paramilitary training is conducted about 80 K's North east of Warburton and also in the Chitchester Ranges.

"Police in those areas are aware of what is happening but I don't know if you will get any of them to speak.

"I might add that many of the locals (whites etc) are aware and if you go to a home in the Goldfields and/or the Pilbarra area, you will also find some whites who are holding weapons (not strictly legal) that they wll not surrender.

"W.A. is my home but part of the reason I left is that I would rather not fight another war, especially in my homeland, however, let there be no mistake, If any person threatens my safety or that of my wife I, like so many other Australians who are just totally fed up, will shoot and I will shoot to kill.

"If everyone in this country is equal, how is it that an Aboriginal tertiary student gets far more financial assistance than a white does? (the facts to back up this question can be found in your own links)

"I have had to drop out of Uni because I just could not survive and I am really upset about that.

"Sorry I can't help you any more than that but you never know who is watching what you are doing and I know that for a fact because I used to be a 'watcher'."
