TOXIC CULTURE – PART 5
Meanwhile,
the government-controlled, staged Royal Commission into Institutional Responses
to Child Abuse that excluded investigations into the police, public services,
and anything that didn’t involve a sexual component (and even excused ‘familial’
violence inflicted on children by step-parents or live-in friends of parents)
made 400 recommendations… but only 189 of them were new: the others had already
been ignored to allow the abuse to continue. Like many of the new ones.
The same
systemic failures and entrenched culture of corruption forces victims to suffer
in silence. Even the Royal Commission did that. When I contacted them they made
it very clear that they were only interested in the abuse that happened in
Churches (and even then, only that with a sexual component), that they would
not be looking at failures in the police and public services, and that what
happened to me was ‘familial’, the result of ‘family violence’, even though
people unrelated to the victims inflicted it.
The Royal Commission was part of the problem, a staged placebo to placate an angry public. Sure, it dug out some predators, gave a minority of victims (now mostly very old people) a glimpse of justice but no real justice, and destroyed the credibility of all Churches and their efforts to oppose extreme injustices inflicted by the government on the most disadvantaged, but it did nothing to expose and address the corruption inflicted on all the other victims. Nothing changes.
I often
think about what I know now, and what might have been if I had simply done what
I should have done back then. My faith in the system, in our authorities, has
been proven wasted and worthless. If I had just defended myself, thirty-five
years ago, and killed those fuckers, maybe things would have been better. I
would have been out of jail by now. There’s no doubt I’d have gone. The victims
always get punished for daring to defend themselves. Fifteen, thirty years for
a twelve-to-sixteen year old?
My half-siblings and grandparents would have abandoned me and I’d have been forced to live life on my own, without any contact, cut out of their lives and cast aside like trash, hated. But how is that different to now? That’s exactly what happened, but only because I got in the way of what they wanted. It was because they saw me as a rival that had to be defamed and bullied into oblivion to secure what they wanted, and make sure nobody believed what I might say about what they’d done, and what they were planning to do. They became the same monsters our collective parents are.
Maybe, if
I’d removed our abusers from the picture, back then, those kids may have grown
up to be good people. Or, at least, better people. Maybe they’d have successful
relationships instead of a trail of human wreckage, separations, divorces,
abused children, grandparents bullied to the grave and assets carved up and
squabbled over like a chicken carcass over a miserable, corrupted Christmas
feast. Maybe the world would have been a better place if I’d just done what I
should have done, all those years ago.
But only
good people go to Heaven. It’s all many victims have left. The hope that, even
though God doesn’t care, there will be a place in Heaven for the victims who
struggle to be good people. A chance to see our grandparents again. A place to
wait for our own children, hoping we managed to get it right and that they will
live good lives so that they, too, will have a place in Heaven. That all this
misery, all this shit we have suffered, has some purpose. It certainly doesn’t
have one here, because nothing changes. It keeps going, unabated, because the
authorities don’t feel the guilt needed to make the world better.
Only a
victim feels guilt. They look at the other victims and the dead, and blame
themselves for not doing something to stop it. The predators that inflict harm,
including the authorities that isolate and silence the victims to conceal and
enable one another, crime, systemic failure and injustice, do not feel any
guilt. At all. We know this because we see it, every day, in the news reports
that bother to cover stories about kids being brutalised and others who are
subject to crime and systemic failure.
We see it in the news reports where the predators are the authorities, and when they surround themselves with twisted demons, sycophants that inflict their vile personalities on the victims and not only refuse to help, but go out of their way to inflict greater harm. It’s been going on for decades. It’s been going on for decades. Jesus Christ Himself, upon whose Holy Bible our politicians and authorities swear to serve the people, once said “And woe to you, you experts in the law, for you weigh people down with burdens they can hardly carry, yet you yourselves will not lift one finger to help them.”
It wasn’t
long after he said it that those very experts in the law and authorities,
angered by the truths He spoke, had Him arrested, tortured, falsely accused,
defamed, then murdered on the Cross. Then they hunted down and persecuted His
followers and anybody else that dared challenge their corruption. Two thousand
years later… and not a lot has changed except God no longer bothers to talk to
us. He has left us to our fate. The pleas of those who need Him most fall on
deaf ears.
The lesson we should all learn, the foundation upon what we must build to pass on a better legacy, should be that while those who are silent may be said to condone, those who force others to remain silent are complicit. But at the end of the day, as the weight of that misery, shame, and guilt over our failure to help and protect others, to affect positive change, to deliver dignity and justice, crushes us down into the black depths, where even God ignores us, the same things keeps on repeating.
Predators
brutalising kids and inflicting themselves on others, isolating and silencing
them, threatening them, defaming them to discredit anything they might say, for
decades, because (like they will tell their victims) they can and nobody will
stop them.
Police,
public servants, politicians, celebrities and others responding to the crisis
with empty, opportunistic, self-promoting rhetoric encouraging victims to come
forward… then isolating and silencing victims those victims to conceal and
enable predators, crime, systemic failure and injustice with indifference, apathy,
incompetence, negligence, idleness, insensitivity, mockery, insults, unfounded
and defamatory accusations, victim blaming, and intimidation.
Legal
outcomes reduced to commodities the most disadvantaged cannot access let alone
afford, and laws, policies and procedures designed to circumvent justice.
‘Internal investigations’ (a conflict of interest) allowing offenders to
investigate themselves and cover-up the failures, or politicians and their
sycophants finding excuses so they don't have to help rather than look for ways they can, refusing to respond to whistle-blowers at all, or finding ways to punish and cripple (emotionally and financially) the whistle-blower or victim to ensure they have no means to seek justice and, therefore, remain silent.
So-called
anti-corruption bodies just as infected with the same festering, canker, the
entrenched, toxic culture of corruption, their ‘inquests’ and ‘Royal
Commissions’ nothing more than staged acts designed to discredit and destroy
political rivals, but just as unwilling to help victims.
Instead, they
spend their time making self-promoting, self-aggrandising speeches that suggest
the problems are limited to agencies excluding the police and public services,
or at least minimising their roles in the systemic failure, but ultimately forcing countless thousands of other victims to continue suffering in silence.
The media
boasting of how it exposes crimes and helps affect positive change, but just as
guilty of reducing human lives and suffering to commodities, ignoring victims
for stories that may provide greater profit, and promoting dickheads who say
things like “now the victim has closure”, “has been heard”, “can begin
healing”, “can move forward”, “can get over it”, and other idiotic drivel
revealing just how little they know or care, the value they place on the victims, and how much they, themselves, are worth.
And then
all those self-inflated pricks give themselves a big pat on the back and
awards.
But, in
the real world, children are still being brutalised, starved, subjected to
psychological torture, beaten, even raped, but above all, ignored by the people
who are supposed to protect and help them, or violated with similar abuses, for
decades.
Women, the
elderly, the disadvantaged, even some men get the same. Until one-in-a-thousand
might be lucky enough to attract the attention of the media, because a victim
snaps and makes the abusers stop (albeit, with the ‘punishment’ of only for a
few years in jail, if that) because nobody else will, or because the media
actually reports on the abuse that a victim has suffered, and then see the
authorities forced to investigate and maybe even prosecute their abusers…
And then,
when the media frenzy is over, the victims return to the ranks of the Betrayed
Generations and struggle to deal with the living hell of their life sentence,
on their own…
… while
the vast majority of offenders are never investigated, never discouraged from
doing what they do because there is no deterrent, and instead, are emboldened
by the absence of justice, encouraged to repeat the offences, and escalate
because they can, and nobody will stop them.
Even the rumours
about Area 51 have nothing on the secrets our authorities keep about the
victims of this toxic culture, or the horrors misery, suffering, indignity and
injustices hidden away in the dark.
Ultimately,
the vast majority of victims are forced to suffer in silence. Despite the
public being made aware of this endless crisis by people like me, all the
effort to do what the authorities won’t, and all the recommendations in
response to the inquests, nothing changes. Nobody affects positive change. Nobody
stops the offenders. It all continues, unabated.
Nothing
changes.
What’s the
fucking point?
Nobody
cares.
