8 September 1989. Thought for the Week:
"Socialism, with its hatred of all superiority, of noble virtues
- loyalty and patriotism - with its passion for dragging down
instead of building up, serves the purpose of the deeper conspiracy...
For the final goal of world revolution is not Socialism or
even Communism, it is not a change in the existing economic
system, it is not the destruction of civilisation in a material
sense; the revolution desired by the leaders is a moral and
spiritual revolution, an anarchy of ideas by which all standards
set up throughout nineteen centuries shall be reversed, all
honoured traditions trampled underfoot, and above all, the
Christian ideal finally obliterated."

BEHIND THE JAPANESE REBELLIONJapan, now regarded as 'the wealthiest nation in the world', has few resources of her own. The fragility of her economy can be seen by the inability to tailor her production to her consumption requirements, needing larger and larger foreign 'markets' to keep her brilliant manufacturing machine from burying the whole nation in surplus goods. The Japanese production miracle cannot stop - it cannot even slow down - without major collapse. Part of the reason for this, of course, is the debt structure.Contrary to public perception, Japan has huge debts, as does every other industrialised nation. Her Government debt alone is 162 trillion $US. The Government spends about 20% of its 60 trillion yen annual budget on interest payments. Politically, Japan is also fragile. Although the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) has not lost a national election in 34 years, it received a thrashing at the Upper House polls earlier this year. The true reason for this was not the Recruit bribery scandal, reaching into almost every corner of the ruling party as a political way of life. Nor was it the sex scandals in what Western feminists would regard as the most 'sexist' society in the world. The real reason for the massive political revolt was the introduction of a 3% sales tax on April Fools Day this year. The electorate used the Upper House polls to register a most uncharacteristic swing of massive proportions against the government of the unfortunate Mr. Takeshita. About 80% of the public opposed the new tax! For ten years the Japanese have been attempting to reform the tax system, and politically the sales tax has proved an absolute disaster for not only Mr. Takeshita, but has also helped to destroy Prime Minister Uno. |
BRIEF COMMENTSThe Age (Melbourne), September
4th, carries the political comment article by its Canberra
correspondent, Michelle Grattan, who quotes from a recent
book by South Australian political "science" academic, Dean
Jaensch. Mr. Jaensch doesn't like that awful League of Rights!
Mr. Jaensch claims that Messrs. Hawke and Keating have "hijacked
the traditional Labor Party, thus handing it over to the "pragmatists
and electoralists". "Labor", so the line goes, is in the process
of internal and external realignment.

'WATER BILL' THREAT (Vic.)Several Victorian actionists have sent us more material on the Cain Government's new "Water Bill". How about this for changing the "mood and the mind of the nation"? For our own good, naturally! The letter (below) in the Stock & Land (August 17th) from "Tom Evans" retired M.P., Ballarat North (Vic.):"According to a Government newsletter just released, the Cain Government at this time has rejected pleas to amend a new Water Bill and will relentlessly push ahead to take over the ownership of water on private land. "Among the many major disastrous ramifications arising out of this confiscation of private rights will be the detrimental effect on primary production eventually causing an even higher importation of foodstuffs. "This legislation also takes away traditional powers of protection of the people from Parliament, to allow absolute powers of control to be placed in the hands of the Minister. The only exception allows for limited use for stock and domestic purposes. "The Minister takes control of all water that falls, flows (even only occasionally) or is stored on private property. "Meters can be installed on dams, bores, windmills and pumps as a necessary prelude to charging landowners for what has always been their own private water. "Property owners will soon lose control of most of their land, as the Minister will have the power to take control of any land, under the excuse that it is a waterway. "An indication of the wide scope of this legislation was given by the Minister for Water Resources at a meeting in Bendigo late last year, with the Institute of Water Administration when he said the State Water Resources plan would focus on areas 'between Bendigo and Mt. Buller and the Murray and Bass Strait" ... |
WATER 'ENFORCERS' TO HAVE MORE POWER THAN THE POLICE(News Release from the Victorian Parliamentary
National Party), August 23rd, 1989: Our Comment: Mr. Geoff McDonald, the
author of Red Over Black and The Evidence used
to assure us with respect to the Victorian Socialist Left
(which keeps John Cain in power!) that "Socialist Left means
Communist!" Mr. Tom Evans (above) hit the nail on the head
(wittingly or unwittingly) when he said - "... the detrimental
effect on primary production eventually causing an even higher
importation of foodstuffs" ... That's the Big Idea. That's
what it's all about. |
