Hey all, alot to look at here. I'm afraid I have not been up to speed with the Wikileaks and CIA 'Vault 7' scandal, however you can read about it here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vault_7
And I'll add my thoughts as I tackle this topic in conjunction with Australian and French authors Miles Franklin and Gustav Flaubert. I'm afraid that just as Admiral Morrison, one of the most senior American naval officers in command at the Gulf of Tonkin in Vietnam around the time the Vietnam war torch was passed from France to America, would tell you of his musical son's career that he didn't know much about it.

(Well I didn't know it was as late as 1990 the Morrison parents put Jim's gravestone plaque on his grave, I visited only two years later as a sixteen year old. I remember visiting Paris in that tender age! I still think I remember tires on the subway trains and crazy people with their dogs on the subway).
Similarly I cannot tell you much about the poetic musings or artistic value of Gustav Flaubert (never heard about him until watching the movie yesterday), Miles Franklin (I'm in her beloved hometown* at the moment where a few hours ago, two beautifully low flying Australian military cargo planes flew directly overhead not more than a hundred yards or so above, both with their rear cargo hold doors open, by the looks of it). Neither the shenanigans of the U.S. CIA vis WIKILEAKS and 'Vault 7'.
It's alot to unpack but seems like it's all worthwhile research so watch this post!
Here are my working notes:
Miles Franklin was a fifth generation white Australian dating back to the first fleet who lived in Australia in the late 19th century. By way of comparison my mother Queen Victoria's (just a nickname for her, not an utterance of treason nor heresy against the church of England, neither a psychotic utterance, just a nickname for good old mom) best friend was a part Aboriginal part white woman whose family dates back fifty centuries or more to Australia and England most likely.
Miles Franklin was born in Talbingo which seems to be a local language word (the Aboriginal folks all over the continent were numerous different clans with over 600 dialects and languages) for belly (bingo) and unclear about tal. As the area is near a mountainous region on the borderline of snowy and non snowy areas, it's reasonable to think that the original Australians, prior to the Europeans (yes I'm a racist, I just drew a distinction between the original Australians and the Europeans, not psychotic now, just racist) arriving circa 1788 onwards, were using numerous pelts of kangaroos for warmth and probably some kind of moccasins or the like as it is difficult to imagine the large numbers of various tribes assembling around Talbingo in the winter months going lightly clad due to the sub zero temperatures. In fact, the typical summertime image of an aboriginal Australian lightly clad is not feasible for the same folks living through winter in very cold conditions. Amateur anthropologists and amateur historians seem to indicate that Talbingo, Miles Franklin's hometown, was a traditional crossroads and meeting place for various different linguistic group native Australians that gathered for coroborrees (large interclan jamborees, ie NASCAR without cars or bitumen). It is said these groups gathered around allocations based on which tribes could actually understand each other. In fact, if any group can prove beyond doubt that time and space are simply conditions of the human consciousness and not actually real things necessarily, it's the Australian Aboriginals living hundreds of thousands of years without bothering to even write stuff down. Thus while various clans may have met at Talbingo the hundred years or so before Miles Franklin graced the earth with her wonderful little soul in Talbingo, in fact it appears that perhaps only two or three or four other clans could understand each other by virtue of linguistics. This is not unusual in any human condition. For example the first time I travelled to South eastern Spain, Andalusia, it took me at least two weeks to be able to understand the people due to the heavy regional accents they have.
Similarly from what I see of the Aboriginals, perhaps they considered dancing as a form of communication. Nowadays it is mostly used by young people as a prelude for sex in nightclubs, however there are still many European cultures that maintain traditional dance as a celebration of the harvest, especially.
Therefore when considering Miles Franklin's roots, we cannot dismiss the historical background of her homeland (around the Mt Kosiosco snowfields, the 'Snowy Mountains ' region).
Ok now as I'm taking notes for two other topics: some dopey French author from a similar period to Miles Franklin, and also the CIA Vault 7 case which just got decided by a jury of the defendant's peers, that the guy John Schulte is guilty of illegally forwarding CIA hacking secrets that he himself was apparently developing for Uncle Sam (THAT uncle Sam). Since the defendant chap insists he's innocent and it's a classic he said vs uncle Sam said and uncle Sam (FBI) has even arrested him (although not yet charged him for child pornography charges), I'm just wondering if watching Australian Aboriginal kids running around naked is child pornography and the child pornography he was found with. I find myself researching the Australian Aboriginals and basically these guys just avoid wearing clothes alot wherever possible. Observe (if it's legal):

Ok I'll have to apologise for sounding ignorant or arrogant when I said that the Aboriginals had no language:

Clearly everything they painted was symbolic and basically a form of written language in many respects. They clearly had initiatic tokens or symbols which they used when considering their reincarnating principle (or soul personality).
The story of William Buckley... From fighting Napoleon in Holland for Britain to becoming a full fledged Victorian Abbo.... Can you believe it??

* I was amazed to see a very inquisitive and friendly acting magpie here actually eat one of my nose boogers, I never expected that. It also seemed to be determined to tell me something in its unusual kind of speech however I could not understand. I normally only expect them to be violent in the springtime as is their custom and then to be relatively disinterested.
