Australia’s trade in human flesh: blackbirding - follow the money... "Between 1860 and 1906 up to 62,000 Pacific Islanders were shipped to Australia to work primarily in sugar cane and cotton farming.." "...The Pacific Islanders came, they died, they were buried like dogs and more were sent for.” >> https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2026/aug/10/sydney-sugar-industry-slave-trade-pacific-islanders-ntwnfb #slavery #Blackbirding #SouthSeaIslander #IndigenousPeoples #FirstNations #PastoralIndustry #sugar #cotton ##plantations PALM

Blackbirding by Ryan Butta

  • "Australia has long reassured itself that, despite genocidal treatment of First Nations peoples, at least it has no heinous past of slavery, unlike Britain and the US. Ryan Butta shatters this historical self-deception. The term “blackbirding” (its etymology in the African and West Indies slave trades) involved the coercion and kidnapping of up to 62,000 Pacific Islander people, many children, to labour mostly on Australian sugar cane plantations between 1860 and 1906."

"Long portrayed as somehow “other” than slavery, Butta uses forensic archival work and compelling prose to disturbingly illustrate why this was Australia’s slave trade – and how a colonial who’s-who profited handsomely from it. – Paul Daley " >> https://www.theguardian.com/books/ng-interactive/2026/aug/05/best-books-to-read-australia-august-2026

Many people have forgotten that molasses is very important in their diet. Even more people only know sugar which doesn't come from a source which has molasses in it. Bleached Sugar has chemicals which were used to remove the molasse I'm considering Sugar Cane, as the sugar source which only grows in the tropics. Sugar is saccharide a carbohydrate A search on DuckDuckGo gave the hit as displayed in the third screencap The Industry of Food 🥝 mainly that in the USA, uses way to much sugar in ALL of their processed foods That same industry make sure that people are deceived and think that enormous amounts of sugar in their system are normal. For example a blood glucose level of 3.6 should be considered of the minimal that's needed for a human corpus to function normally. There are many places, however which will tell you that of blood glucose level of six is normal in the early morning. ## It's too high! Those sources are linked to the food industry in the US. When you get up Early in the Morning 🌄 and your glucose level is something like four to 4.3, you're fine; you're actually super healthy in regards to your blood glucose level The reason why the food industry wants you to think that is that they want to keep poisoning you with way too much sugar The same happens with NaCl which you find in the ocean and in ground deposits That is a whole other post. ## Anything that is too much destroys your corpus. Sugar not only makes you fat to corpulent, if you don't burn it off with moving properly and enough; It also makes you unhappy simply because sugar is extremely addictive worse than cocaine. Sugar also destroys your eyesight; you can become blind of it Sugar destroys your cardio vascular system; you can lose arms and legs because of it. The addictive levels of sugar are also for another post. What you should take out of this post, is to use sugar in careful moderation, use brown sugar and make sure it is as dark as possible because you need that molasses.

Scientists spot #sugar in interstellar #space for the first time ever #Erythrulose, a sugar found in raspberries, kiwis, fruits, also apparently exists in a giant molecular cloud of gas and dust near the center of our galaxy. First time sugar has been seen in #interstellarspace Question is: How did sugar get there? For life as we know it, sugars are vital, both as energy-storage molecules and as ingredients in bio building blocks such as DNA & RNA https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/scientists-spot-sugar-in-interstellar-space-for-the-first-time-ever/ https://archive.ph/qqxYH
