There were complicating issues though. It wasn't
as easy as it seemed or sounded. German citizens
and residents were mercilessly randomly attacked
with the mumps during puberty from the early
1800s. Lunatics cut a swathe through Germany
every year infecting anyone who looked puberty
age at random like a roving mob. Including citizens
of nations part of the defunct kingdom of Prussian
that were outside of Germany. One of the motives
was Prussian owning nothing in Germany when it
existed until permanently defunct in 1941. It
caused Germany to have massive adult infertility
issues in the 18 and 1900s. including from WW1
right through to WW2. There was a huge demand
for babies for adoption by citizens and residents
of Germany as a result. In fertile couples, victims
of the puberty infection rampages, looking to
adopt children. In the 1900s it coincided with
another illegal phenomenon. Baby thefts from
residents of the state of Victoria, Australia
between World War I and World War II. The infants
were stolen at birth, or shortly after birth,
by the thousands. All stolen from Port Phillip
Bayside suburbs like Sitkilda and Brighton. Those
suburbs had huge numbers of small unit sized
birthing hospitals. It was a very sensible and
somewhat traditionally fashionable place to have
children. It was particularly popular amongst
couples from what is now called Gippsland. Also
Ballarat, Bendigo, West Victoria and the Murray
region. Mostly Gippsland and the then locals
though. I won't mince words here. The phenomenon
was caused by dirty money funded to two particular
now AFL clubs. Money from Canada for the most
part. They funded one team who paid another to
do the dirty work. Violence against new mothers
who made complaints was not unusual in some cases.
People still pretend to brag about their parents
and grandparents beating or kicking women who
complained that all but one baby was missing
after having a multiple birth. The stolen babies
were immediately offered to anyone who wanted
to leave with one as immediately as possible.
Including on boats and then planes. As long as
they weren't staying in the Bayside region. Any
leftovers were then shipped to what is now the
state of Tasmania, usually. The Tasmanians then
did the basics for the stolen children. They
weren't being Good Samaritan types at all. Even
if they tried to fake it. They weren't happy
about it. They didn't want to do it in bulk,
really. They agreed, though. So, they muttered
and swore, complaining about how many babies
they had to feed, change nappies for, and put
up with. The Tasmanians did what they agreed
to do. Then picked from the huge bunch of stolen
children. Like picking one type of chocolate
out of boxes of chocolates when deciding which
ones they wanted to keep and raise themselves.
The rest were dumped in foreign countries for
possible adoption in hordes. The biggest demand
going around between World War I and World War
II was Germany, due to its difficulties with
extremely high rates of adult infertility. Most
of the unchosen, stolen children ended up there,
mysteriously filling an almost constant need.
The Tasmanians involved always tried to convince
the ones they kept themselves and the ones dumped
in Germany and other places that they were Tasmanians,
even indigenous Tasmanians, first, before keeping
them or dumping them for adoption. They weren't
Tasmanians at all. They were all Victorians,
particularly indigenous to Gippsland. Also, Ballarat
and Bendigo, etc. The second biggest category
was locals to Port Phillip Bayside areas. Mostly
indigenous Gippslanders, to be frank. Those families
killed in a mass genocide by the neo -Nazis between
December 1943 and mid -1945 had quite a lot of
adopted children around at the time. And some
that were the intergenerational descendants of
stolen children adopted by German citizens and
residents. Quite a few survivors of World War
II amongst the rest. That bizarre extra connection
between Germany and places like Gippsland that
cannot be explained by my Hohenzollern royal
family being part Gippslander since at least
the 1790s via Princess Louise, also the Queen
of Prussian. She was originally from the old
city of Jeregen in what is now Gippsland before
emigrating to Meckelburg -Strelitz as a child.
She married future Kaiser Frederick Wilhelm III,
also the future King of Prussian at the time.
They were both homosexual and just got on really
well intellectually. No sex involved, obviously.
Those people who think they are or their ancestors
were Tasmanians are wrong. They can get on okay
until they try to talk about being Tasmanians.
Then it becomes a difficult process as they are
just plain wrong. They are part Gippslander,
etc. Part Victoria, Australia. Tasmanian's connection
excuses that they were once Burinong living in
what is now Gippsland 2 in its southwest before
mass emigrating to Tasmania of their own accord
and decision thousands of years ago doesn't get
them out of it. Yarielu and Gunakonai are the
two remaining cultural indigenous groups in Gippsland.
Yarielu has been rarely mentioned since the arson
riot in 1858 caused 1 .5 million people to become
homeless in Gippsland. And since the Yarra River
was named as a memorial to the old city of Yarragan
in Gippsland. It is cobblestones that are over
500 years old from the old city of Yarragan,
lining the banks of the river in some places.
All that very Gippsland -looking north shape.
Using the cultural term Yarielu to describe one
of the two Gippsland indigenous cultural groups
has not been banned, officially or unofficially.
There is nothing wrong with mentioning it. People
who claim it being mentioned is not allowed have
got it very wrong, regardless of the excuse.
