Chapter 5.
First a small but telling example of just how degenerate our
Australian political system has become.
In 1991 it became very public knowledge that our political
leaders not only lied to the public but also to each other in
their plainly self-interested grafting for power. If they break
solemn promises to each other and lie to the public as a common
campaign policy then for what price will they sell out the
nation?
Even with the above known, most people feel that if they ask a
politician a straight question of Constitution or law, they will
get a straight answer.
Let us consider a revealing answer to a public enquiry given
by a sitting Federal MP dated 20th November 1991. Quote:
Thank you for your letter, directed to me by my State
colleague
...
Your argument seems to rest on the constitutional question
of whether the 1688 Bill of Rights confers any legal 'right' to
bear arms on the Australian Citizen.
I have sought advice in this matter from the office of the
Attorney General who advises that the 1688 Bill of Rights has
never been applicable to Australia and is not part
of our Constitution. Nor can it be made binding under any
Westminster System of Government.
Gary Johns MP, Federal Member for Petrie." EQ.
EA.
It is difficult to imagine how any nation can become so
divorced from all understanding of its roots, that an MP, backed
by the Attorney General's office can give, and get away with,
such blatantly misleading advice. Although the general public
seems prepared to live with blatant lies it is still hard to
believe that we will accept such contempt.
If you need confirmation that the above advice was a blatant
misrepresentation then you might consider some facts from Issues
Paper No. 1 as put out by the recent, government-organized Constitutional
Commission. In this report of its findings, p6, it has this
to say; quote:
Democratic rights are the rights a person has when he or
she is faced with the political process of his society. These
include the right to vote, the guarantee of suffrage to all adult
men and women, and the principle of one vote one value.
Laws dealing with individual and democratic rights, which
are also called "fundamental freedoms" and
"guarantees", have a very long and cherished history,
beginning with Magna Carta, continuing with the British Bill of
Rights of 1688, which is still law in Australia. EQ.
Years of neglect of the truth and misrepresentations of fact,
has made our community ignorant and uncaring of where our rights
and freedoms originate and of how vital these documents are to
the retention of these rights and freedoms in the future. A
future which, in our present state of ignorance, seems beyond our
ability to understand or influence.
On the other hand, if we are prepared to accept such a low
level of political honesty, then what right have we to complain
if our children starve?
For another equally important example of just how submissive
we are to political rape we find, in 1990, the then Prime
Minister Hawke addressing the National Press Club;
quote:
I now come to an area of reform which we must acknowledge
has proved most difficult to achieve - the Constitution itself.
It is true that there have been very significant changes
in the way we govern ourselves, within the existing constitution.
...
High Court decisions have done more to alter the
Constitution than all the referendums. And there has been,
without change to the text of the Constitution, quiet
and constructive adjustment in the roles of the Federal
and State Governments in such areas as family law ..
Thus, without actual change to the written Constitution,
there has been considerable change in the role and
responsibilities of the three levels of government. EQ. EA.
So we see here the Prime Minister speaking directly to the National
Press about how the political parties have conspired to make
significant changes to the meaning of the Constitution without
public warning or referendum. Do you wonder why that did not make
news?
As an example of the significance of what the PM said, let us
consider a comment by High Court Judge Wilson in regard to one
such change; quote:
The effect of investing the Parliament with power through
Section 51 in all these areas would be transfer to the
Commonwealth of virtually unlimited power in almost every
conceivable aspect of life in Australia. EQ
That is how it now stands - as we let it stand!
Now consider that our Crimes Act, under TREASON, says
this, "24 AA. (1) A person shall not - (a) do any act or
thing with intent - (i) to overthrow the Constitution of the
Commonwealth by revolution or sabotage."
EA.
Was not the then PM boasting of sabotage? Are news and media
people criminally insane? Can they all have been silenced for
life with bribe money or threats? No! No! No! Nothing so
excusable - criminally arrogant perhaps. No, what seems to happen
is that they keep quiet as co-conspirators. They like to
imagine themselves as part of the elite. From the lofty heights
of ideology they look down on the common people; 'what right have
these simpletons to be Common Law equal with the clever, educated
people - what right have those lowly humans to the truth?' News
reporters and petty officials, like the ancients, think that
truth will be contaminated by contact with the 'profane' common
people.
It can be shown, from comment recorded in Hansard (the
official government record) that the political parties and their
politicians, knowingly and without shame, exceed their authority
- that they unite across party lines to cover their deceptions
while petty officials and media look away. (Information already
published in Saving the Future and other writings).
The long-term effect of mass deceit is that when someone with
knowledge, tries to show people that they are being betrayed, the
first action of those who may become concerned is to ask their
local MP. Having asked, they will believe his answer rather than
their own intelligence because they fear to face the fact that he
would willfully deceive them.
The confused, like the blind, have to trust their leaders even
though they know well that these leaders will lie to suit
themselves.
The fact of the matter is that what is usually called the
Australian Constitution is little more than an authority, given
by the Australian States and people, to allow a Federal
Parliament to operate. This Constitution is NOT the authority for
the Australian Common Law system! The Australian Common Law
system is authorized by the attachment to the Crown and British
Common Law system of which the 1688 Bill of Rights is an integral
part.
If the letter by that MP had been correct then Australia could
never have been a British colony; there could be no legal backing
for our legal system, and the Constitution giving power for a
Federal parliament could not exist.
This situation of deceit and treachery could not possibly
arise as a result of local conspiracy - were that its extent it
would be exposed by other democracies. This level of manipulation
can only come about because the Australian political parties are
operating under the cover of a world system of secret
government. I think you will find this more understandable when
you have read the following:-
THE AMERICAN SCENE: In 1976, following Jimmy Carter's election
to be President of the USA, the ABC (Australian) Radio 2, Investigations
program, featured the power elite behind the USA
presidential system. The panel, consisting of host John Merson,
Dr Ernie Chaples (University of Sydney), Dennis Altman
(University of Sydney) and Ralph Summy University of Queensland)
listened to and supported a talk given by an American, Professor
William Dunhoff, who exposed the system very well.
Here is a transcript of a section of the Dunhoff talk. Dunhoff
is talking with Ben Smith, a political scientist from California
State University; Dunhoff:
One of the things that we find that's very important is
that the big-business people who are the ruling class have a
series of policy planning organizations which try to stay
bi-partisan and non-partisan in their representation, and these
organizations consist of big-businessmen, corporation lawyers and
academic experts, who meet together in small discussion groups
and try to plan out policy in areas such as foreign policy,
economic policy, welfare policy, population policy - name it; and
what we find is when we look at those organizations, they have
leaders who are both democrats and republicans; and what we find
further is that whomever is elected as president, a democrat or
republican, we find that his appointments to government tend to
be from these non-partisan, bi-partisan (whatever euphemism we're
giving for them) policy organizations.
Now the next question is, 'Why is that possible?'
Americans are very deferential towards expertise. Somehow
these people have been certified as experts on complex questions.
And always the idea is, "questions today are very complex -
it takes an expert". Well, these organizations have a
monopoly on expertise.
In this country, in the two party system, for historical
reasons, what we see is that politicians will say and do anything
to get elected, but they often don't mean it; and they often
don't for sure know what they're talking about; and so, when they
are elected, they turn to these experts for their policies.
...
[Ben Smith] .. The government itself sends
representatives, the executive branch sends representatives to
these Councils, and they work out policies there quite outside of
the public agencies. EQ.
Private policy making agencies mentioned include The
Committee for Economic Development, The Council on Foreign
Relations, The Rockefeller Foundation, The Trilateral Commission (organized
by David Rockefeller and including leaders from Japan and
Europe). These are among the leading agencies funded by, and
private to, the international bankers, international business and
leading academics.
NOTE. Leading academics means leading in positions of academic
authority or influence, not necessarily in an academic
discipline.
As an indication of how subtle this web of deceit is, we note
that it is mentioned in course of this discussion that Jimmy
Carter had been invited onto the Trilateral Commission because he
was "internationalist orientated".
Carter was not necessarily set-up to be president; he wanted
to be president and because he had the right attitudes and
beliefs he was supported. People do not have to be part of a
conspiracy to be used. It is easier to make people believe that
you are sincere in what you do if you are sincere. That is often
what makes a preferred candidate.
At time of the election Carter had as his most prominent
foreign policy adviser Zbgniew Bryznsky, Russian Studies
Centre of Columbia University and member of the Council
on Foreign Relations.
Whoever is elected will find himself needing a large team of
expert advisers and it just happens that all the recognized
(approved) experts are products of these private foundations.
Dean Rusk was President of the Rockefeller Foundation; Henry
Kissinger had been associated with the Council on Foreign
Relations.
Similar associations can be made for literally thousands of
government members, officials and advisers. I dare say that over
the length of the present century it is likely that all
governments in the USA have increasingly drawn their policies and
policy-making experts, from people loyal to elitist banking,
academia and business organizations.
You must realize that comment here is not relying only on that
ABC broadcast. That broadcast just happens to be one of the few
sources of local accreditation. There are numerous books written
to comment on, praise, or try to expose, the hidden government.
Perhaps the most prominent of these writers is Professor
Carroll Quigley. Professor Quigley cannot be called a right or
left wing extremist, he was one of the establishment; taught at
Princeton and Harvard and wrote his l,300 page book Tragedy
and Hope in praise of the aims and ambitions of the secret
government.
That ABC team seemed agreed that it matters little to the
ruling class who wins a US presidential election.
So you see, in some quarters it is KNOWN that there IS an
elite who manage the system, and they do this through KNOWN
private institutions.
Who is elected does not concern this elite because whoever is
elected will draw on these same PRIVATE INSTITUTIONS for the
nation's managerial and policy expertise.
It is important to know this. No private individual has the
capacity for mass manipulation. Long-term social planning has to
be organized by an hierarchically motivated group acting over
many years and if that driving force is not communal then it must
be elitist.
The people of the USA are robbed of their right to democratic
government and this also applies world-wide.
Now you may wonder why the socialist-leaning ABC would put
such a program to air. The reason it can occur is that no truly
believing socialist understands (even after the USSR
reorganization) that socialism and capitalism are the primary
'thesis' and 'antithesis' in an Hegelian Dialectic Process.
However some are beginning to awaken.
More telling insight into the confusion generated by
Socialist/Capitalist PR gimmickry is obtained by taking a close
look at current events.
"Poll setback will push Bush to the Right" says the
headline in The Australian (20/2/1992); quote:
The astonishingly strong vote for Patrick Buchanan in New
Hampshire is a disaster for Australia.
The former speech writer for Ronald Reagan is doing his
formidable best to energize every destructive force in United
States politics, every force that could transform the US from the
leading progenitor of free trade and liberal internationalism
into a small-minded, mean-spirited nation turning increasingly
inward upon itself.
[Notice no argument or evidence is presented, just image
assassination.]
Buchanan is trying to tap into deep forces in the US
political psyche. His targets in the New Hampshire campaign were
more than just President Bush. They were also Japan, immigrants,
internationalism, indeed the very concept of US foreign
policy. EQ. EA.
This highly emotional comment is a result of propaganda against
all opposition to the elitist New World Order
policies. That writer's complaint is that Buchanan is appealing
to basic American feelings that oppose establishment propaganda.
Everyone who puts up a sound argument, or speaks out against
elitist plotting or policy, is accused of being anything from
Gengis Kahn to Ku Klux Klan. On the other hand no President or
any World Government supporter is ever abused as being a
small-minded supporter of Marx or National Socialism.
It is revealing that capitalist governments everywhere teach
and encourage socialism in their universities and support a
common socialist world policy.
Does it seem strange to you that a socialist leaning-group in
the ABC will be exposing "Capitalist Conspiracy" in the
nature of hidden government on the one hand and other socialist
leaning media people are blackening the character of people who
appeal to popular feelings opposed to the SAME elitist
establishment?
This apparent confusion may be more easily understood when we
consider that in order to keep the secret government secret there
is real benefit in creating confusion. It is not unlikely that
Buchanan was put up as a whipping boy to allow excuse for
anti-democratic propaganda.
The conventional academic position is to scorn any suggestion
of a conspiracy. Perhaps this is excusable in so far as
'conspiracy' may be the wrong word. However they make no serious
attempt to answer the evidence of secretive elitist manipulation
of both community and government. It is difficult to disprove
what is true, especially when so many among the educated know the
facts.
Strangely, despite all character assassination before the
election, if by some chance Buchanan should still win he will
still draw on the same pool for advisers and follow the elitist
policies; after all, he WAS President Reagan's speech writer.
We may also note that organizations such as the United Nations
have no policy-making motivation nor expertise in their natural
membership. The UN is composed of quite ordinary people who have
been selected to represent their country by the political party
system. Where does the UN get its policy directive and expert
advice?
Normally a committee selected and thrown together under a
broad ideal will splinter and argue, create more problems than it
can ever solve and disintegrate. The previous League of Nations
did just that. The only way the United Nations could work was if
there was a strong guiding hand of discipline and goal-setting.
Who planned and set out the agenda for the United Nations? Who
authorizes changes to this agenda?
Who arranged the consensus of United Nation's members to
secretly betray the independent nationality of each and every
country taking part?
Who authorized the colonial attachment of Australia to the UN
and servitude to an unknown authority?
When was this matter argued out in the United Nations and when
were the world headlines reporting it and explaining it to the
people of the nations surrendering their national independence?
There is only one source of expert directive for world
planning! This source is the privately funded policy-planning
institutions that are set up by those with long term world
ownership ambitions; ambitions that can be achieved only through
control of world government - UN government.
It would seem inevitable, even without evidence of events,
that the UN is, in practice, no more than an executive tool for
the secret world government or, as President Bush and other world
leaders have proclaimed it, The New World Order. For a
realistic view of the United Nations read The Fearful
Master by G. Edward Griffin.
