MURDER, RAPE AND TORTURE OF NEW GUINEA CHILDREN

Because our task in this chapter is to determine what childhood and war were like in early historical tribes - which of course have left no records other than those archeologists have uncovered - we will concentrate on more recent observations of tribal cultures before they were much affected by contact with the West. We will therefore begin by discussing childhood in New Guinean, Australian aboriginal and African tribal cultures that were among the last to be explored and changed by Western cultures.

Infanticide rates were enormous in New Guinea, with the first missionaries estimating that two-thirds of the children were murdered by their parents. As in other tribal cultures, abstinence and abortion were well known, but infanticide was mainly what was the practice, so growing children were routinely traumatized while they watched their mothers strangle or otherwise murder their siblings.

Margaret Mead said of her tribe 'they are always throwing away infants here' and not because of lack of resources to feed them. When tribal mothers were asked why they killed their infants, they stated it was because they were 'demon children,' because 'children are too much trouble,' because 'it was a girl and must be killed,' or 'because her husband would go to another woman' for sex if she had to nurse the infant. Children watched their mothers bury their siblings live, eat them, or toss them to sows to devour - or else they would force the grown-up children to help them kill their siblings or even sometimes make them kill live infants purchased for murdering from other tribes.

Mothers who ate their children are described as 'overcome by frightful hunger for baby meat' - again, not because of lack of food, but because of an inner need to re-incorporate infants after losing them at birth. New Guinea infanticide rates are similar to the 50 percent rates estimated for small-scale societies around the world today.18 Some tribes kill so many newborn that they regularly have to buy children from neighboring tribes so their tribe won't disappear. Differential infanticide (killing more girl babies) is the rule in tribes all the way back to the child sacrifice of infants to Beast-Goddesses that took place in Paleolithic caves, Jericho and Stonehenge.

The children who watched their mothers killing or eating babies 'suddenly avoided their parents, shrieked in their presence, or expressed unusual fear of them - recounting dreams about animal-man beings with the faces of parents smeared with blood.' The fears and dreams get stored in their inner alters as time bombs to be exploded later in life.

Females in New Guinea are treated brutally. Since they are routinely viewed as secretly being witches 'who can kill simply by staring at a person' (Killer Mother alters), they are often killed simply because they are imagined to have poisoned people. Mothers in New Guinea are horribly abused as girls, being routinely raped by fathers, brothers, visitors, peers, gangs. When they become wives they are treated brutally by men and have suicide rates as high as 25 percent.

Mothers are therefore post-partum depressed, and they use their children for sexual stimulation - repeating their own abuse - and then abandoning them emotionally, so they vary between masturbating them and hanging them up in a bag on a tree all day long. Since the men routinely beat up their wives, there is no evidence of spousal intimate love, so mothers are continuously in despair; if they are not forcibly breast-feeding their babies or masturbating them, sucking on their penises, the baby is useless to them as erotic objects and not fed regularly. Small children are routinely allowed to play with sharp knives and burning objects without adults paying any attention to them.

Mothers hate themselves and consider themselves 'bad' for having been raped as young girls and for having to endure loveless polygamous marriages. Maternal 'mirroring' is lacking, so children do not become secure with others and do not develop an independent self. Children even recently are 90 percent malnourished in New Guinea, studies show, even when food is plentiful, because mothers only feed them a couple of times a day, and they die from starvation while the mothers are puzzled what is wrong with them.

The mothers' force-feeding during erotic nursing 'becomes a battle in which the mother clutches the child, shaking it up and down with the nipple forced into its mouth until it must either suck or choke,' but when not used as an erotic object, they are badly neglected, often 'thrown away,' so that abandonment rates run as high as 75 percent as they are sent out for adoption or fosterage. When not hung on a tree in a bag or basket, the toddler is 'discouraged from walking and not allowed to crawl, [forced to] sit still for hours and make queer noises.'

All this overstimulation plus abandonment produces extremely insecurely attached children in the infanticidal mode of childrearing who are schizoid personalities with dissociated alters embedded in their amygdalan networks to 'carry' the pain of their abuse. Schizoid personalities 'with their animistic delusional magical thinking processes' are the results of parents who simply are incapable of loving. As Masterson concludes: 'The Schizoid child feels there is no pathway to the parents. [They live in] social isolation [with] an impossibility of an intimate relationship.'

They have no inner Good Mother, so their inner attacking Mother is experienced as a deadly voice inside: 'Feeling alone is feeling afraid of death.' Masterson calls schizoid patients 'safety sensitive because of their twin fears of being controlled and of being hopelessly isolated.' In tribal families, there is no hope for forgiveness, only 'eat Mommy or be eaten by her.' Yakut shamans hallucinate schizoid self-sacrifice to 'a Bird-of-Prey-Mother, which is like a great bird with an iron beak, hooked claws and a long tail [who] cuts its body into bits and devours it.' Tribal schizoids then switch into dissociated alter trances and repeat their fears in spirit possession rituals.

New Guinea mothers constantly 'rub the penes of their infant sons [and] the little boys have erections' while they sleep naked together at night. One boy described to Poole how whenever his mother was depressed or angry she often 'pulled, pinched, rubbed, or flicked a fingernail against his penis' until he cried, afraid it might break off. 'It hurts inside,' he said. 'It bleeds in there and hurts when I pee - Mother not like my penis, wants to cut it off.' Males also masturbated and sucked children's genitals, both sexes, using the child as a maternal breast as all pedophiles do.

Mothers also masturbate and kiss the vagina of baby girls. Malinowski reports watching the widespread sucking of genitals and intercourse between children in Melanesia, encouraged by parents, so that most girls are raped by the time they are seven years old.40 New Guinea fathers rarely care for their little children, but when they do they mainly fondle their genitals, using the child as a breast-object 'because they say they get sexually aroused when they watch them nurse.'

Families in preliterate cultures usually have separate spaces for males "in which the husband and wife live with their respective mothers and at night the man 'visits" his wife in her house. Physical contact with wives is avoided, and separate sleeping areas are maintained by husbands. A gynarchy composed of the grandmother, mother and other females, brings up the children, so the boys have little contact with males in their early years and are thoroughly ambiguous about their gender.

Archeologists have even determined that 'there were no Neanderthal families to begin with since women and children lived in separate areas from the males in caves.' This arrangement was practiced historically from tribal cultures into early states; even in antiquity, 'the women's apartments [were] separated from the men's quarters by a bolted door' - [ancient] Greek couples do not eat together.

New Guinea mothers are so violent while using their children sexually that the children regularly blame themselves as they are hurt by them:

"Mother twist penis, tight, tight - Hurt, hurt, inside. Cry, she not listen. Mother not like my penis, wants to cut it off" [Wounds himself with a sharp stick.] "Now it hurts here, outside, not in penis. Look, blood. Feels good - Good to be a girl, no penis."

Because of the constant brutal abuse, all schizoid tribal personalities are so insecurely attached they are extremely uncertain about their genders, and most of their adult lives replay the early gender anxieties produced by their parental incest/rejection experiences. New Guinea boys begin this replaying of embedded alters at seven, when men conduct fellatio on them, forcing their penises into the boys' mouths and anuses the same way their mothers earlier used them both in incest and forced feeding.

This oral rape begins by blaming mothers as 'evil defilers' of the boys who have 'polluted and weakened their sons' with their poisonous menstrual blood. This supposed pollution is countered by forcing the boys to suck the semen of men daily for years, saying, 'It's the same as your mother's breast milk' but it will 'make you a STRONG man' and will prevent them from growing into females. That raping boys orally can 'make them hard' and 'prevent them from being soft' may seem bizarre, but believed in wholeheartedly nonetheless.

Anthropologists sometimes state without evidence that the continuous oral rape by men of boys in New Guinea is 'enthusiastically enjoyed' by the boys, who are 'eager to suck' men's penises, and that it has 'a positive effect on the boy's development.' The boys are also bled profusely by men by thrusting sharp leaves back and forth in their nostrils to remove the polluted mother-blood inside them, sometimes even subincising the penis, cutting it until it splits open, calling the cut a 'boy's vagina,' and having intercourse in it.

Anthropologists describing this endless fellatio and genital mutilation of boys do not call it rape, stating instead that 'the great majority of Sambia boys regularly engage in fellatio for years [because thereby they] learn how to be men, how to protect themselves from dangers of pollution.' Both men and women regularly fondle and mouth little boys' penises. Girls, too, are routinely raped and often have their vaginas mutilated in tribal cultures - again because of extreme gender uncertainties, saying their clitoris must be removed because otherwise it would grow to be a foot long and they could then dominate men - plus it helps prevent girls from being 'too sexual.'

Older children routinely gang rape younger boys and girls, a practice reported by anthropologists with some neutral phrase like 'they are typically initiated into intercourse by older and more experienced child,' a practice termed by one anthropologist as 'healthy' because it gives the child 'multiple experiences of sexual pleasure.'

The inner alters embedded by all these extremely traumatic childrearing practices are called spirits or demons, and are the central focus of tribal cultural life. Children's alters are usually called 'finiik', and they are said to temporarily depart from the body to wander abroad - during trances, and children regularly tell how their witch alters possess their bodies and make them do things.

New Guinea natives can be warm and friendly and then suddenly switch into their alters and kill you because they think you are bewitching them. Trance possessions by alter spirits are found in all tribal cultures, in shamans, in witches and in others in the group during possession rituals as groups feel 'power surges' and go out to conduct their killing raids. Drawings of alter-possessed shamans have been found on the walls of Ice Age 'maternal caves.'

The neurophysiology of possession trances have been well studied as 'altered states of consciousness' that are entered into by various 'driving' techniques that produce the hyperactivity, convulsive tremors and grandiose states that dominate those who are in a slow-wave electroencephalogram trance, insensible to pain, united with their spirit alters.

Shamans are full-blown multiple personalities, becoming their alters, not just hearing them as internal voices. Their violent alters are those of the Killer Mother. Before raids, New Guinea shamans hallucinate that they are embedded with maternal spirits, and they call their war drums "the voice of their ancestor mother."

Boys in New Guinea are taught to always dominate rather than submit, and to beat up girls - adults urging them to take a branch and 'stick it up her vagina.' To restore their masculinities, boys are encouraged to 'sit facing each other, exchange endless sexual or personal insults' and then fight each other. Homicide rates are from sixty to a hundred times higher in tribal cultures than the current U.S. rate; one careful study of the Gebusi found 60 percent of all males admitted to having committed one or more homicides, almost all because they became sorcerers.

All women are believed to be capable of becoming witches who can kill you by staring at you - delusional Killer Mother she-demons - so wife beating is nearly universal, female suicide rates are enormous (up to 25 percent of women's deaths), gang rape of girls is practiced daily, and the torture and execution of women suspected of being witches who poison men is common. All this extreme misogyny is hardly an atmosphere that encourages maternal love and investment in the care of the next generation, so little improvement in childrearing and little evolution of personalities has been seen for thousands of years. Cultural evolution is ultimately psychogenic, not genetic - occurring as an increase in parent-child attachment, not as "the survival of the fittest."
