An Open Letter to the Genocidal ‘Australian’ State Currently Crying Over Statues

(In the lead-up to the national day celebrating the genocidal occupation that is so-called ‘Australia’, two colonial statues were decapitated and the heads taken hostage. The below text, forwarded anonymously, states conditions for their return).

Dear so-called ‘Australia’,

We heard recently about the beheading of two of your precious ‘Prime Minister’ statues and the defilement of dozens of others. First Nations people on this continent have survived and resisted genocide, dispossession, theft of children and desecration of sacred lands and waters. But we are sorry that damage to statues has upset you so much.

Two of your beloved heads are now in our custody. For the return of the first head – Paul Keating, whose support for fake ‘native title’ undermined land rights and sovereignty, and who instituted the sickening holiday of ‘Australia Day’ (Invasion Day) – we demand:

That the ‘Australian’ government secures the remains of at least 100 First Nations and Pacific Islander martyrs, currently held in ‘Australian’ museums, and returns them to First Nations and Pacific Islander guardianship

That the ‘British’ government secures the remains of at least 100 First Nations martyrs, currently held in British museums and institutions – including the head of the hero and resistance warrior Pemulwuy – and returns them to First Nations guardianship

That the British Museum returns a minimum of 500 First Nations artefacts to First Nations people

If the ‘British’ fail to meet conditions set out above, the ‘Australian’ government will deport one (1) British citizen currently residing in ‘Australia’ for every martyr or artefact that has not been returned to First Nations guardianship. Choice of who to deport will be made by Aboriginal people.

For the return of the second head, Kevin Rudd – whose hypocritical ‘apology’ for the Stolen Generations has been followed by the State continuing to snatch and abuse Blak children – we demand:

That the ‘Australian’ state returns a minimum of 500 children stolen from Aboriginal communities through racist child ‘protection’ and youth ‘justice’ systems

For every child not returned, one (1) kkkoloniser working in Aboriginal child ‘protection’ and youth ‘justice’ will be handed over to First Nations custody. Ordinary laws regarding assault will not apply, just like human rights legislation gets suspended to incarcerate Blakkids.

We are very sorry for the people of so-called ‘Ballarat’ who are apparently traumatised by loss of the heads. We think it’s terrible Ballarat Council says it will take money to replace them out of local services. The only way to stop this is to destroy all colonial statues, so that this can’t happen again.

For land back and national liberation – cry harder, ‘Australians’,

Continued thread

Nguyễn Thị Bình is a granddaughter of the Nationalist leader Phan Chu Trinh. She grew up in a land that had been under French rule since 1858. The country’s resources were plundered, & the people exploited as cheap labour & reduced to grinding poverty. So determined were the French to maintain their colonial hold at any cost, they collaborated in power-sharing with Japanese #fascist #occupiers who brought horror & starvation from 1940-1945.

Despite this, led by the #VietMinh Front, people of Vietnam triumphed in the #AugustRevolution of 1945 & the Democratic Republic of Viet Nam (DRV) was declared on September 2nd. Democratic elections took place in January 1946 but French troops, with the open support of the US & Britain, attacked the new Viet Minh administration in the south of the country & the #WarOfResistance against #France began.

Binh studied French at Lycée Sisowath in Cambodia & worked as a teacher during the #French #colonisation of Vietnam. She joined #VietnamCommunistParty in 1948. Upon joining, she immediately began work as a #grassroots #AntiColonial organiser. From 1945-1951, she took part in intellectual protest movements against French #colonists. She was arrested & jailed between 1951-1953 in #Saigon by the French #colonial authority in Vietnam. She was repeatedly interrogated under torture & sentenced to death but was reprieved & released in very poor health in 1954.

Upon release from prison, Binh went north to work in #Hanoi for the National #WomensUnion. Her job took her to many localities where she witnessed first-hand the impact of #colonialism & the French War on ordinary people & especially women & children.

1954 was a year of victory for the Vietnamese army. The defeated French were forced to sign the #GenevaAccords recognising the independence, sovereignty & unity of Vietnam. The country was temporarily split in two at the 17th parallel, with the French moving to the south from which they would withdraw, while the Viet Minh went to the north. A general election for the government of a united country was to follow within 2 years.

But it never happened. The #USA came centre stage to ensure that the Accords were never implemented. Driven by strategic interests in the region, it made sure that Vietnam stayed divided – preventing an election that would have swept Ho Chi Minh to power with 80% support, while bankrolling & controlling the reactionary #regime of Diem-Nhu south of the 17th parallel. This regime violently suppressed all opposition, executing of thousands of Viet Minh supporters & condemning hundreds of thousands to concentration camps and prisons.

In response, the NLF (for liberation of South Vietnam & unification) was formed in 1960. Nguyen Thi Chau Sa was assigned to the Foreign Affairs Section of its Re-unification Committee & given the name Nguyen Thi Binh (Peace). From 1962 onwards, her high-profile diplomatic work, took her across the world. She represented the aspirations of the people of Vietnam in every country & forum she visited, while the world’s strongest #imperialist power made all-out war on her small country.

During the #VietnamWar, she became a member of the #Vietcong Central Committee and a vice-chairperson of the South Vietnamese #WomensLiberation Association. In 1969 she was appointed foreign minister of the Provisional #Revolutionary Government of the Republic of South Vietnam. A fluent French speaker, Bình played a major role in the #ParisPeaceAccords - an agreement that was supposed to end the war & restore peace in Vietnam.

She was expected to be replaced by a male Vietcong representative after preliminary talks, but became one of the group's most visible international public figures. During this time, she was famous for representing Vietnamese women with her elegant & gracious style, and was referred to by the media as "Madame Bình". She was also referred to as the "Viet Cong Queen" by Western media.

After the war, she was appointed Minister of Education of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam from 1982-1986; the first female minister ever in the history of Vietnam. Binh was a member of the Central Committee of Vietnam's Communist Party from 1987-1992. She was the Deputy Chair of the Party's Central Foreign Affairs Commission & Chair of the National Assembly's Foreign Affairs Committee. The National Assembly elected her twice to position of Vice President of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam for the terms 1992–1997 & 1997–2002.

Bình has authored several op-eds, including a one on the state newspaper Nhân Dân in which she voiced concerns that the current personnel policy of the Communist Party of Vietnam have allowed some "incompetent and opportunistic" individuals to enter the party's apparatus. She also criticized the Party's focus on increasing membership at the expense of "quality."

From March 2009-2014, she served as a member of the support committee of #RussellTribunal on #Palestine.

Madame Bình became a source of inspiration & namesake for Madame Binh Graphics Collective, a #RadicalLeft all-women poster, printmaking, & street art collective based in NYC from 1970s-1980s.
Many Americans in the #AntiWar movement were proud to wear T-shirts printed with the portrait of "Madame Binh". By then, she had become a symbol for female soldiers of the legitimacy of Vietnam's efforts.

Madame Bình has been awarded many prestigious awards & honours, including the Order of Ho Chi Minh & Resistance Order (First Class). In 2021, President of Vietnam Nguyễn Xuân Phúc awarded her the 75-year Party Membership Commemorative Medal.
To commemorate the 75th anniversary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Vietnam, the Government of Vietnam commissioned the official portraits for 12 former foreign ministers from 1945-2020. Nguyễn Thị Bình was included among them as the only South Vietnamese foreign minister & the only woman.

Nguyễn Quyền (1869–1941) was a #Vietnamese #scholar & #AntiColonial #revolutionary #activist who advocated independence from #French #colonial rule. He was a contemporary of Phan Bội Châu & Phan Chu Trinh & one of Tonkin Free School's founders.

"The more I read the more I become aware that the things we studied, our examination system, were wrong – indeed the real reasons for our having lost our country. From that point on I was determined to seize upon our country's literature and on modern learning to awaken our citizenry."

Quyen advocated the modernisation of Vietnam's #education system. Around 1903 or 1904, Quyen met Tang Bat Ho, who had returned from his travels abroad & talked extensively about the modernisation of Japan. In 1904 he met with Phan Bội Châu, but Quyen had little in common with Chau's ideology of using violence to achieve independence. Quyen went on the work with Lương Văn Can & Le Dai in setting up the Dong Kinh Thuc Nghia, which sought to strengthen the Vietnamese people & thereby the likelihood of independence through the training of a new, more modern generation of scholars.

In 1908, Quyen was arrested in a general crackdown by French authorities and sent to jail on Côn Lôn island. He died in the prison which was infamous for torturing political prisoners.

Hola! Aquí mi #presentacion!!!: mi nombre es Guadalupe, soy #TrabajadoraSocial, #fotografa y #ecofeminista. Soy argentina y hace poco me largué a vivir en la patagonia, tierra mapuche y un lugar dónde se ha gestado y se sigue gestando mucha lucha contra el avance extractivista e inmobiliario. Andando y desandando caminos, siempre desde una mirada de género y derechos humanos, intentando construir nichos de lucha y resistencia #anticapitalista, #antipatriarcal, #antiracista y #anticolonial.
