Back in the nineteen-hundreds it was a wonderful experience for a boy to discover H. G. Wells. There you were, in a world of pedants, clergymen and golfers, with your future employers exhorting you to “get on or get out”, your parents systematically warping your sexual life, and your dull-witted schoolmasters sniggering over their Latin tags; and here was this wonderful man who could tell you about the inhabitants of the planets and the bottom of the sea, and who knew that the future was not going to be what respectable people imagined.
George Orwell (1903-1950) English writer [pseud. of Eric Arthur Blair]
Essay (1941-08), “Wells, Hitler, and the World State,” HorizonSourcing, notes: wist.info/orwell-george/37598/

Aboriginal cultural heritage site: The kuyang - A giant 300 metre eel arrangement
"All it is is rocks in a paddock," Mr McMaster (farmer)
"Adrian McMaster allegedly used an excavator to remove rocks from an ancient stone arrangement resembling an eel on his Lake Bolac property, between Ballarat and Dunkeld, in 2021. I was moving the stones so I could get the [weed sprayer] in there," the 65-year-old told Ballarat Magistrates Court."

"Truth-telling is now more important than ever.
What has been a personal choice is now a national imperative […] Denialism is no longer a viable option. A wall of scholarship built by many hands over the last fifty years stands in the way." - Henry Reynolds, Truth-Telling. History, Sovereignty and the Uluru Statement

One of my favorite historical religious events is the #Beeldenstorm aka the #IconoclasticFury.
After the #printingpress allowed mass distribution of the #Bible in common language, #tracts and religious #polemics became common. In the mid #16thCentury #Protestants rose up against all the pervasive #Catholic #idolatry and church wealth. They stormed churches throughout the #HolyRomanEmpire, tearing down idols.
