The Editor visited Jerilderie last weekend, to join with other Australians celebrating some of our great Australian history- the Ned Kelly letter event.
It was reported to be an outstanding weekend. The Jerilderie Council published the following:
THE NED KELLY RAID TRAIL:
When Ned came to town in 1879 he was already infamous for the Stringy Bark Creek incident, he was an outlaw with a bounty on his head and orders to "be shot on sight".
Yet he visited Jerilderie in spite of a vow by the NSW Police that he would never cross the border; daringly relieved the bank of NSW of over 2000 pounds, chopped down the telegraph poles, locked the local police in their own cells, booked up the cost of shodding his horses to the NSW Police whilst parading in police uniform, held over 30 hostages and shouted the bar in just 3 short days.
What many readers may be unaware of is that the real purpose for his visit was to publish what is now known as "The Jerilderie Letter" at the Office of the Jerilderie & Urana Gazette. This was his manifesto - an account of his actions, his side of the story, highlighting his plight and the corruption of the law.
Unfortunately for Ned the printer was not home and Living, the Bank of NSW's Teller, promised to hold the letter in safe custody to be passed onto the printer upon his return. However this copy of the letter never surfaced and was not to be printed until over a century later, when it was donated to the State Library as a National Treasure by Bronwyn Binns, wife of Ned Kelly historian Ian Jones.
One of the most appealing facets of this Letter is that it contains a type of humour that sits well with most Australians, however its real worth is that it gives us an insight into the real Ned Kelly - beyond the myth.
The Ned Kelly Raid Trail allows you to walk in the footsteps of the Ned Kelly gang over that fateful weekend. Six of the sites are still extant giving us a small glimpse of the town as it once stood. You can explore the Jerilderie Letter whilst you walk along the
Raid Trail and perhaps you can make the decision -
Ned Kelly hero or outlaw ?
Of course, modern Australian nationalists have no trouble answering the question. We record the resistance of a Patriot, one who noted the oppression of the poor and the corruption of the authorities of the time.
Nothing substantial has changed regarding the abuses of power over the years.
We must resist the traitor class of today, as the patriots throughout our great Australian history have done!
As this great weekend of Australian history at Jerilderie ( Feb 6,7,and 8th 2010 ), gave witness, not a refugee or multiculti advocate in sight. They have no interest in our great Australian history, as it is Australias future they aim to steal. Perhaps next time, they'll be bussed in.
It just confirms there is no such thing as a multiculti society. There is merely a mass of opposing groups connected only by a globalist economy. The real cost here arises from the European-Australian de-culturisation agenda.
