9 February 1990. Thought for the Week:
"Any society - democratic, aristocratic, oligarchic, communistic
- requires a moral order for its existence. Indeed, all societies
arise originally out of religious belief; culture comes out
of the cult. A society's moral order, for the most part, has
for its foundation that society's religion. If a society has
forgotten or repudiated its old religion, it must invent a
pseudo-religion to supplant the old faith, and that society's
morals are founded upon that pseudo-religion.

WAR CRIME TRIAL OBSCENE
The whole concept of staging war crimes trials
in Australia is obscene; it is a concept, which runs contrary
to the nation's basic heritage. An old man of Polish background,
who has lived a quiet and law abiding life all the years he
has been in Australia, is being charged with crimes, not against
Australians, but against Jews, which allegedly took place
in another part of the world nearly fifty years ago.
It is symbolic of the state of the nation
when the announcement of Australia's first war crime trial
came on Australia Day. Australia Day commemorates the birth
of a new nation of British origins. Those Zionist Jews and
others who have called for War Crimes Trials have demonstrated
their rejection of the Christian foundations of the British
judicial system. The "justice" they talk about is the same
type of justice, which Shakespeare's Shylock called for. Australian
society can only be poisoned by the spectacle of old men being
forced to attempt to defend themselves about allegations which
have their roots in events of so long ago that the testing
of evidence in accordance with Australia's judicial traditions
is impossible.
Already the War Crimes business has been
costly for the Australian taxpayers. If the Australian trials
follow the pattern of what has been happening in Canada, taxpayers
will be paying for astronomical costs as cases drag on for
months. The Hawke Government, with little effective resistance
from the Opposition Parties, introduced the War Crimes Amendment
Act at the behest of the Zionist lobby, which has demonstrated
that it is more concerned with advancing its own alien philosophy
than in supporting the traditional Australian view, including
that of those Australians who suffered at the hands of the
Japanese, that perpetual hatred and calls for vengeance are
a destructive influence. Hopefully the start of the War Crimes
Trials in Australia will produce a healthy outrage from the
overwhelming majority of the Australian people.

MFP: JAPANESE TROJAN HORSE
by D. Thompson
The news is at last beginning to break in the mass media (particularly
print media) of the proposal - now three years old - for the
establishment of a predominantly Japanese city-of-the-future
in Australia. With very few exceptions, no Australian journalist
or editor was aware of the MFP proposal in 1989. Even politicians,
asked for information, had no idea that such a proposal even
existed. It is significant that as the debate begins, there
is no suggestion that Australians should be consulted about
their wishes - the debate centres around where such a city
or 'cities' should best be established.
THE VFT CONNECTION
The controversial proposal to build a Very Fast Train between
Melbourne and Sydney is inextricably linked with the MFP.
While the terms of reference of the Victorian VFT study exclude
any reference to the MFP, those involved with the VFT consortium
- Elders IXL, BHP, TNT and the Japanese construction giant
Kumagai - are attempting to "sell" the projects together.
The VFT "Progress Report" published in October 1989 says:
"Major potential exists for synergy between the MFP and the
VFT... The communications link associated with the VFT could
connect the MFP to global communications networks."
More significant is Sir Peter Abeles'
view, published in the "Canberra Times" (8/12/88).
Abeles, managing director of TNT and Ansett, as well as board
member of the Reserve Bank, said: "I regard the train as only
a catalyst for the rest, but the rest will have to fund the
original capital costs; half the capital costs at least, and
then one can start with a non-losing enterprise. If one does
it purely as a train, it will never happen." Sir Peter's reference
to "the rest" clearly means such projects as the MFP.
INJECTION OF AN ALIEN CULTURE
A preliminary feasibility study on the MFP was released last
week, insisting that the city should be on a single site,
should be largely funded by the Japanese, and have an eventual
population of about 200,000 people (80% of them Japanese)
to be viable. Sydney or Melbourne are the most likely sites.
It is to be stressed that the new inhabitants of the city
would not be temporary, but permanent. It is totally unreasonable
for Australians to expect a population of about 150,000 Japanese
to come to live permanently in this country, leaving their
culture behind them. The establishment of a new, high tech
'city-of-the-future' is inseparable from the establishment
of a large Japanese cultural enclave within Australia. The
cultural cleavage between the two groups is immense. Virtually
no discussion has taken place within Australia about whether
Australians will accept such a massive injection of an alien
culture. The majority will not.
THE JAPANESE MOTIVES
If Australia is prepared to sell their real estate - not to
mention their heritage - for a mess of pottae, what is the
Japanese motive? The published motives in the glossy propaganda
are: "to contribute to world peace, economic development,
environmental preservation and cultural exchange". Not even
Mr. Peter McGuaran, Opposition spokesman on Science and Energy,
believes this, saying "The Japanese will never transfer the
genuine secrets of their economy to us."
Professor Yoshio Sugimoto, of La Trobe University, believes
that at least on the surface, there are similarities between
the MFP and an early Japanese experiment in building model
societies. This took place in the conquered Manchuria in the
early 1930s. Japan attempted to set up a multiracial, harmonious
society called Manchukuo. Professor Sugimoto says it was also
to ensure the flow of resources to Japan from Manchuria. It
is notable that such "experiments" are not tried in Japan!
The real Japanese motives for the MFP can only be understood
in terms of future international trade. The Japanese fear
that the developing trading bloc in North America, and the
formalisation of the European Community in 1992 could deny
Japan access to "markets". Without "markets" the Japanese
"economic miracle" begins to crack. A Pacific Basin (Economic)
Community is the Japanese answer to capture future markets".
"The Economist" (12/7/89) asks
questions concerning a new Pacific "Yen bloc": "Should Japan
make the pace, or would it be better to let the front runner
be Australia, whose Prime Minister, Mr. Bob Hawke, would like
the role? Australia would be less distrusted than Japan as
regional front man by many Americans and Europeans - and other
Asians.." If a new Pacific Basin Community were established,
the Japanese know that, diplomatically, they could not ask
that it be centred in Japan - even their neighbours distrust
them. However, a Japanese city in Australia could be acceptable
as the future financial, economic and political capital of
the emerging Japanese Pacific Empire. The main Japanese motives
for the MFP in Australia must be that of a Trojan Horse in
our economic, political and (eventual) cultural colonisation
by Tokyo.

SURRENDER OF SOUTH AFRICA
Last week's announcement by Mr. De Clerk, President
of South Africa that the 30-year ban on the ANC would be lifted,
Nelson Mandela would be freed, and that the European South
Africans would attempt to negotiate a "power sharing" arrangement
with the ANC leadership, could signal the beginning of the
end of the relative stability of Southern Africa. ANC leaders
were joined by the Secretary General of the South African
Communist Party, Mr. Joe Slovo, to discuss their "strategy"
following the announcement. The ban on the Communist Party
has also been lifted.
It appears that the South Africans have
been influenced by events in Eastern Europe in their handling
of the ANC. If Communism as a power is "dead", then it may
be safe for South Africa to make concessions to a dying moral
force in order to placate the "international community's"
demands for reform. But the ANC, as a terrorist movement,
is clearly not "dead". Any negotiations with the convicted
terrorist Nelson Mandela and the ANC can only proceed from
a position of weakness, because such negotiations legitimise
the use of terrorism as a means of negotiation.
For thirty years the ANC has been training
ideologically-motivated terrorists, who cannot now be represented
by a "moderate" Mandela, even if such a person existed. In
his recent visit to Australia, former Rhodesian Prime Minister,
Mr. Ian Smith, was asked what was his greatest mistake in
dealing with the Rhodesian terrorists. Smith is reported as
responding that the greatest mistake was to believe that power
could be "shared" with those who could only be described as
murderous butchers. There is no reason to believe that the
South Africans could be any more successful sharing power
with the terrorists of the ANC. Clearly, as a good Leninist,
even Mr. Gorbachev intends to avoid wherever possible the
idea that power should be "shared" in the Soviet Union.

THE COMING BLOODSHED
The South African Conservative Party is calling
for an election to be fought on Mr. De Clerk's "reforms". Clearly,
the large body of Afrikaners has not been consulted, and are yet
to "have their say". If their leadership is perceived to have
been "feeding the revolutionary crocodile" (hoping it will eat
them last) with Rhodesia and South West Africa, the Afrikaners'
frustration must inevitably boil over into violence, as their
leadership progressively capitulates to ever more far reaching
demands.

CONFLICT OF INTEREST
from The Mail-Times (Horsham,
Vic.,) January 31st
"We should not be surprised that Mr. Fisher, MHR, favours
the United Nations Declaration on the alleged rights of children
in The Mail-Times, January 19th. "The Liberal and National
Parties have never been alert to the subversion promoted by
the UN and its agencies over a long period. "The UN is the
Mecca of those ideological forces represented by the expressions
Mr. Fisher claims to find acceptable.
Conflict
I have no hesitation in expressing my view that Mr. Fisher
has demonstrated a serious conflict of interest in attending
the UN and involving himself in its deliberations. "When considering
Mr. Fisher's reply, those who have shown some awakening to
the dangerous implications should take stock of the fact that
the disarming assurances of a politician are one thing, but
once laws are passed and covenants ratified the administration
and interpretation of such laws and covenants are in the hands
of bureaucrats who are seldom as sensitive as a humble politician.
"We face a situation where real power resides with those who
control the financial system, not politicians.
Finance
Finance is now international and the ideology embodied in
the concept of a world order runs counter to the Christian
precept of a decentralised authority with its roots in the
family unit. "It is no matter of chance as Mr. Fisher appears
to suggest, that families are crumbling in today's climate
of destructive pressure. "The simple observation that there
is ample finance available for everything imaginable that
erodes family values, yet precious little for pro-family initiatives,
explains the situation. "It is a grave error to assume that
the broad assortment of groups consciously or otherwise undermining
family life are just a few irresponsibles.
Leadership
At the leadership level there is a dedicated faith that they
know where they are going, what their objectives are and how
they can systematically manipulate whole populations to reach
their goals, which cover the whole field of social control.
"The Christian family concept faces the most powerful, well
organised and liberally financed challenge of its 2000 year
existence. "Those behind this challenge can now recruit a
multitude of go getters, busybodies and do-gooders who all
believe they are producing enlightenment and changing the
world for the better when they treat traditional values with
contempt. "When I look at the matter in this light I am surprised
that only some two hundred of Mr. Fisher's constituents have
expressed their concern to him." (Robert Bell, Horsham, Vic.)

BEMUSED BY THAT SUPER CITY
from The Australian, February
1st
"Plans for the Multi-Function Polis (MFP) hold a superficial
attraction, as your recent news reports indicate. "There is
something half visionary, half science-fiction about the scheme
to build a 21st century, high-tech city run by a skilled,
multicultural workforce. "Talk of the likely spin-offs for
the local manufacturing and tourist industries and public
research institutions are couched in terms which are equally
inspirational. "But what of the reality? "Australia's scientific
and technological community must be bemused by the Government's
endorsement of the MFP. "After years of reductions in funding
which have cut into the core of our scientific and technological
research capacity there is now a plan to pump public investment
into a high-tech city of the future. "Our researchers in the
CSIRO and elsewhere, whose daily efforts are compromised by
inadequate facilities, must ponder the meaning of an MFP with
its foreign workforce. "All of this and there are no guarantees
of the quality or quantity of the technology transfer which
might take place. Do we really expect the Japanese to happily
transfer their technological advantages to our local industry?
"Nor are there any guarantees
of the extent to which the Australian community would retain
control of the development of the research-cum-leisure facility.
Resources
If the Government has funds available for such large technological
initiatives - if that is what the MFP is about - then it might
like to allocate those resources where they will best meet
the needs of the Australian community. "Why not invigorate
our domestic medical research effort instead? Or why not seek
ways of consolidating the development of our own comparative
industrial and manufacturing advantages? "Generally, we might
be better placed to capture the benefits of an enhanced technological
research effort if we were to develop a greater degree of
scientific and technological self reliance. "To increasing
numbers of the community, the Government's present preoccupation
with the MFP is being seen as simply a distraction from the
main game. (Peter McGauran, Shadow Minister for Science &
Energy, Canberra)
Our Comment
The view of the League of Rights is that the MFP is very far
more than a "distraction from the main game". In our view
the MFP is a Trojan Horse which, incidentally, is the view
held by Professors Y. Sugimoto of LaTrobe University (Dean
of Social Sciences) and Gavan McCormack (Head of Asian Studies
Department, Adelaide University). This was reported recently
in a Sydney daily, referring to a book, by them in process
of publication. Many supporters will recall that Senator Peter
McGauran joined enthusiastically in the attack on the League
of Rights, with many other "conservative" politicians, in
recent times. His letter (above) is significant to us as it
is likely that the "line" he takes will be the official "Opposition"
line (a waste of money). The issues of subversion and Asianisation
are to be ignored. The League of Rights won't ignore them.
Politicians, merchants, One Worlders, who are "bemused" by
the Multi-Function Polis concept, will be confronted by an
alerted and alarmed electorate in the very near future.

INCREDIBLE STUFF FROM 'THE TRIBUNE'
For those unfamiliar with The Tribune,
or "Trib" as it has always been affectionately known by the
comms and general left-wingers, it is the official organ of
the Communist Party of Australia, and has so been for decades.
We shall quote (below) from the front page of the issue of
January 31st, 1990. Its "line" is startling, inasmuch as it
is admitted that peoples will NOT flock, in Eastern Europe,
to defend the glorious Communist Parties which liberated them
all from rampant Capitalism, etc., etc. We suspect that the
Communist editorialists of "The Tribune" are pretty
much in the dark as to the likely course of events in Europe
and elsewhere. From what we read, so is Mr. Gorbachev. We
quote:
"The political map of Eastern Europe
has changed radically since Tribune began its summer
break, confirming the process evident last December with ruling
Communist Parties being forced to share power, or, as in Romania,
excluded from it altogether. "In free multi-party elections
to be held in most of these countries during the next six
months most communist parties will almost certainly suffer
defeat. New coalitions of opposition parties will take power,
in which the communists will be lucky to be junior partners
(Yes, this is from The Tribune, official journal of the Communist
Party of Australia! O.T.) Throughout Eastern Europe the old
bureaucratic-administrative economic system will be dismantled
and the market mechanism introduced. The private sector will
also expand rapidly. The working class in Eastern Europe now
has a chance to become a force in its own right (Sorry, we
thought it always was! Whatever happened to the "victory of
the proletariat"? Wasn't the voice of the Party the "voice
of the proletariat"? How things seem to have changed...0.
T.) "The old Stalinist communist parties are thoroughly discredited
and their passing should not be mourned. But it is not the
'end of history'
Yes, comrades, you are right. It is not the end of history....
O.T.
