World Peace And Legacy Of B. Wongar

for him. Taking the risk, he decided to leave france and go to the very
end of the world, to australia. He thought there must be a place, in
this uninhabited continent, for unrestricted moving and unfettered
creativity in pastoral idyll. If his belief fails him again at the end of the
world far away from the greed and chaos in Europe, then the whole
world is truly at its end.
once he reached the australian shores, Sreten very soon learned
that he was truly “at the end of the world”. Božić very soon became
aware that the British imperial culture, knowing that none could
see this so far away, has come to conquer the “shepherds’ life” of ab-
originals so fundamentally, comprehensively and irrevocably that
in comparison to them the prosecution of algerians in france and
drumhead-trials by yugoslavian Superman Tito looked like dilettant-
ism. The whole australia was a gulag and the masters of the island
carried out this destruction with meticulousness, leading it to the
root and to the very notion of humanity. They denied shepherds and
shepherdess were humans and they were applying all methods that
entire enlightened world reserved for animals. aborigines were ruined
as chimerical creatures, half human half animal, as a fruit of some
mistake of evolutionary engineering which had to be wiped out to
allow true race, white one, to expand and usurp all that exists. This
destruction of the humanity concept itself was certainly embedded in
a scientific theory of evolution which assumes the existence of “lower”
and “higher” life forms and supposedly all the rest was just a technical
completion. The supposition was to destroy “lower” forms as soon as
possible that “higher” could spread. Thomas Huxley, the intellectual
father of Darwin and factual creator of the concept of the evolution,
claimed that dark skinned man could compete with white only in
biting while was writing in confidence to his wife Henrietta that by
friday all would accept his theory of the evolution.
Mass destruction, the holocaust of Jews, russians, Serbs, and gyp-
sies, in the Second World War as well as military defeat of nazism did
not bring at the table any questioning of the evolution theory and its
responsibility for mapping the idea of “lower” and “higher” species into
the social theory. once established this distinction crossed imagined
border line between theory of nature and theory of society to influence
human affairs in many ways. Hitler’s rhetoric questions about “higher
race” with no doubt originated from H. S. Chamberlain and his evolu-
tionism interpreted as social that is moved by a struggle between races.
This is a step back even from caste system which was designed just to
prevent the evolution. It seems that after all reforms, India had been
aware to which extent evolution was necessarily associated with social
disorder and violence. There is caste system in India but not “higher”
and “lower” species for allowing evolution get justification. Therefore,
there was never any clash in India that could be compared to the hell
in Europe.
after the Second World War nuclear testing began in australia
under the guise of scientific experiments and took place in reserva-
tions where aborigines lived; even though British considered aus-
tralia as the Crown property and not aboriginal. Surveying uranium
they have cleared the forest away and destroyed surrounding nature,
poisoned soil and water… This was much larger then genocide, all-
out assault on the life itself, true apocalypse that dived with all its
horror on the people who had no power to defend, no willingness to
reject own heritage on behalf of the progress culture, nor any desire to
replace own faith with Christian. Why after all this waited to happen
to the end of the world? Is it possible that it hadn’t happen yet? British
declared australia as the land without people and they have turned
that country into the land of St. John’s revelation, a desert for their
nuclear testing. Sreten experienced precisely things that make him run
away from Serbia and Europe. But now he had nowhere to go again, he
had to take a fight for he had already arrived to the end of the world.
It seems like someone out of the dream world prepared him for this
struggle at the edge of the world by the strange plan described vividly
in his autobiography. Božić had gone through complete initiation in
australian desert Tanami. Guburu, an aboriginal man, found him
in a nearly dead state and even though he had all reasons to leave a
white man to die, he helped him to start living again. That’s how Božić
became Wongar, a herald from another world, dream world; he lived
together with aborigines for nearly a decade. He was the first one who
found courage to speak openly about nuclear testing and its nightmar-
ish consequences to the native world and its culture that continued
to last for at least two thousand generations. It is clear in his novels
that aborigines were at fault mainly because of their wish to preserve
own culture and way of life, to be free, and because the evolution did
not transmit them from black to white. The only thing they could be
accused of when facing the conquerors was the fact they were strict
guardians of all those resources which British greedily considered as
the source of power. as a first step Wongar made photographs expos-
ing horrifying life and poverty of the indigenous tribes. Then he start-
ed to write irrepressibly with piercing determination, dedication, and
faith. all this made it possible for laborer at australian bush to become
famous all over the world. He went secretly to forbidden territory writ-
ing about strictly forbidden theme of nuclear testing and he risked to
be sentenced to forty years of imprisonment which was threatened for
those who disturb public order. Despite all this, he photographed blind
people, children, and aborigines who died of cancer caused by uran-
ium effects that also destroyed native villages. He made an archive of
several thousand photographs. at some moment he wrote to Beckett
he was watching every day Waiting for Godot and he sent him a photo-
graph of a blind black woman leading by dingo to drink the water from
muddy pond. He demanded the abolition of the death sentence for ab-
origines, same as his father asked for Serbs at the end of Second World
War. Thus he proceeded on where his father left over, but by some
miracle, maybe because he had been declared a messenger, he did not
drink from the same cup. all Wongar`s family we know about from
inscriptions has been led by a dream that gave all of them steady deter-
mination and ingenuity. Wongar`s work is almost a psychoanalysis of
culture, research of the depth of regress of collective subconscious, the
description of insane violence of neurotic manifestations.
Wongar`s non-violent noble struggle against the conquerors, who
have reclaimed everything they wanted: the native land, memory,
children, resources, is in many ways reminiscent of gandhi’s conflict
with the very same conquerors in India. a photograph of gandhi was
published in 1930 where he took one salt grain from the sea. British
had prohibited Indian to access the Indian ocean shores – they sup-
posed not to exploit salt because that right had been given to some
British company according to the British law. gandhi was declared as
enemy by this act but in spite of consequences he defended his matter
of freedom. Wongar did the same when he went to the arnhem land
in spite of the prohibition adding a grain of salt in unsalted ruling
history. Wongar never stops adding that grain of salt as a passionate
activist spreading a word about horrifying consequences of nuclear
testing and radioactive pollution. He did not hesitate to speak about
