2007 Thought for the Week: "With freedom
goes responsibility. A free man is answerable for his own acts and omissions.
At Common Law Everyman is answerable for his own acts. No man is answerable for
the act of another unless he has commanded or consented to it
. The Common
Law conception of the legal responsibility of Everyman for his own acts springs
from the conviction of the moral and intellectual autonomy of Everyman. By virtue
of this autonomy each man is an original source of spontaneous and rational action."

in the Common Law," 1947. |
GLOBAL WARMING FANTASIESby
James Reed: The next federal election, we have been told, will be fought on
the issue of climate change. It is a pity that scientists who disagree with the
so-called "consensus" view of climate change seldom get a fair hearing.
For example, Professor Zbigniew Jaworowski, chair of the Scientific Committee
of the Central Laboratory for Radiological Protection in Warsaw disagrees with
the ruling orthodoxy and believes that, from his studies on glaciers that the
climate may get cooler.
He is a critic of the main physical evidence advanced
to support global warming based on ice cores. He has shown that air trapped in
ice is not a closed system, and over time high levels of carbon dioxide get squeezed
out of ancient air. In any case, Professor Jaworowski has found almost no change
in the level of atmospheric carbon dioxide over the last 8,000 years.
What
lies behind the global warming scam? I conjecture that it is yet another attempt
by those wanting a one world government, to put their evil scheme into operation
by scaring us to abandon our freedoms. Environmentalism in this sense becomes
a threat to our freedom, when it should be a mechanism for preserving life on
earth. Such is the perversion of rationality that we live under.

CHINA AND CARBON EMISSION CUT-BACKSby
James Reed British oil giant BP has found that price-induced cuts in energy
demands in the developed world have been offset by China's enormous appetite for
coal. Global consumption of coal - a carbon-rich fuel - was up 4.5 per cent in
2006, largely due to China. Here is a problem for the world: the dragon has awoken
and is breathing smoke and fire.
If the global warming scare is true -
which I doubt - then China alone will bring down the tent of civilisation with
its emissions. But greenies who are red inside and haters of White civilisation,
cannot bring themselves to criticise China. White is bad; Yellow is good is their
racist logic. So my little green friends, on your own politically correct premises
- kiss your planet goodbye!
It has been said that the US Department of
Defense once had an individual present a concept paper where it was proposed that
a hormone weapon be created to turn enemy soldiers into homosexuals. (The Australian
16-17/7/07 p.16) Regardless of the merit,
or truth, of this proposal, it seems that something is at work in the modern age,
dissolving the brain-power of a generation. Is it in the water supply or the air
that is breathed? The great drug that has dumbed down our people. Where has the
capacity to think clearly and deeply about a topic gone? |
DON'T SAY YOU WEREN'T WARNED
- TWO AUSTRALIAS
The
following article was sourced from Channel 7 TV: 18 July 2007: "It's official.
New immigration figures from the Bureau of Statistics show Australia is being
split in two. Migrants from Asia now outnumber those from Europe and New Zealand,
while multicultural Australia is now divided by race.
Dr Robert Birrell
runs the Centre for Population and Urban Research at Monash University. He's an
authority on the subject and he's worried. "Sydney and Melbourne are diverging
from the rest of Australia," said Dr Robert Birrell. Immigration figures
from the Australian Bureau of Statistics show Asia has now overtaken Europe and
New Zealand combined. Almost all new Asian migrants are heading to either Sydney
or Melbourne. "(We now live in) two Australias,
because Melbourne and Sydney can be regarded as one Australia where you've got
very high proportions of persons born overseas," Dr Birrell said. "In
Sydney, about 40 per cent of all adults are born overseas, in Melbourne it's about
just over 30 per cent." "I don't think facts lie. Australia's population
is changing. "Sydney and Melbourne are diverging from the rest of Australia.
In the case of Sydney, by far the biggest single source of migrants in recent
years is China and in the case of Melbourne it's now India," Dr Birrell added.
"We're a nation that's now split."
Between July and December
last year 27,623 people arrived here from Asia, while 27,325 arrived from Europe
and Oceania, which includes the United Kingdom and New Zealand, where traditionally
most new Australians came from. And here's where they're going: 10,624 Asian settlers
chose Sydney, while 9,035 chose Melbourne. Chinese Malaysians Daniel Chong
and his wife Josephine came here with baby boy Timothy last year. "Well,
most of the friends we made here are Asians, Chinese," Daniel said. "At
first, when we come here, our English is not very well, so we tend to join the
group of people who talks our own language."
Howard
doubled annual intake - and it's rising: President of the Australian Chinese
Community Association in NSW, Lucilla Leung, said new migrants liked Australia's
egalitarian roots. "It is such an open society," she said. "Everybody
is Mr and Mrs average. I think that attracts a lot of people from old culture." Ms
Leung said most Asian migrants were not trying to become 'traditional true blue'
Aussies. Asked whether such migrants had a "strong policy of assimilation",
she said it was more about integration. "I don't think so," Ms Leung
said. "We have a strong policy of integration." This
grouping together means that in some parts of Sydney and Melbourne, 65 per cent
of the adult population is overseas-born. Under the Howard Government, immigration
has doubled to 165,000 per year and rising. "I don't see diversity in
population as a threat in any way to Australia, rather than an opportunity,"
Voula Messimerri, from the Federation of Ethnic Communities Council of Australia,
said. "Australia is a country of migrants. We accept it and we become,
in turn, proud Australians."
Ms Messimerri said migrants, especially
those with skills, can only make Australia better and more prosperous. "Increasingly,
we're seeing Perth and Western Australia, because of the mining boom, becoming
another satellite for economic prosperity, so I'm not really sure what Mr Birrell
is talking about," said Ms Messimerri." WE ARE! |
THE EROSION OF AMERICAN FREEDOMSby
Brian Simpson Here in Australia we have already lost these freedoms, but now,
under the Democrats, Americans are getting their serve. This will be a taste of
what life will be like under President Hillary Clinton-Obama in the new party
of colour, ringing in the world of non-White America. H.R. 1592, the "Local Law
Enforcement Hate Crimes Protection Act" and the "Employment Nondiscrimination
Discrimination Act" (ENDA) aim to make "hate crimes" a federal offence and to
add "sexual orientation" and "gender identity" as protected classes under the
US criminal code
. Such hate crimes are crimes motivated by "actual or
perceived race, color, religion, national origin, gender sexual orientation, gender
identity, or disability of any person". The idea is to add an aggregated offence
to any offence against homosexuals, transvestites, transsexuals and the like.
The proposal is endorsed by the majority of Democrats, even though it clearly
violates the 1st Amendment of free speech and the 14th Amendment (religious expression).
As US lawyer and nationalist Edgar Steele
has said: "When thoughts are outlawed, only outlaws will have thoughts." |
ZIMBABWEAN AND AFRICAN MELTDOWNby
Peter West Why so much concern from writers in this periodical about multiculturalism-style
issues? Why not full-power monetary reform and economic issues? Well, it is of
course true that monetary reform is a key to our long-term survival, but in the
short-term, survival is the key. If there is a 'conspiracy' or even open war against
White survival, then unless this issue is understood and addressed, then all our
'social credit' building efforts may only be for the benefit of those who inherit
our world once the dust settles, perhaps the Chinese or fundamentalist Islam.
I don't think this is what men such as Major Douglas had in mind. The
media devoted a reasonable amount of space to Zimbabwe's President Robert Mugabe
as he set out to secure his political power until he is 89. This involved 'stacking'
the central committee, which makes presidential nominations, as well as arresting,
beating and torturing opposition activists. And- bingo - Mugabe was re-endorsed
as presidential candidate for the 2008 one person/democracy 'election'. 'Bob
the Mug' even denounced his vice president Joyce Mujuru, also known during the
"liberation war" by her non-de guerre as "Spill Blood". "Spill Blood" complained
about Mugabe's "paranoid delusions" which puts the matter mildly. The country
is already living with daily economic chaos, with little food and fuel available.
Sanctions and international condemnation of Mugabe came, not from the allowing
of Blacks to kill the White farmers but solely from the crackdown on political
opponents. It seems anti-White racism is to be internationally accepted. 'Bob
the Mug' has told the West "to go hang" and no doubt he could show us how. Meanwhile
the leaders of the Southern African Development Community, leaders of 14 Southern
African countries expressed its "solidarity with the Government and the people
of Zimbabwe" ("African Leaders Want Mugabe Sanctions Lifted," The Weekend Australian
31/3/07 p.13). They wanted sanctions imposed by the West lifted, they did not
explain how one could have solidarity with Mugabe, and also those he tortured:
talk about 'two bob each way'! But of course, their solidarity is with Mugabe
and not with the mythical 'people'. Many of
these countries also have appalling human rights records, and now, following the
racial principle (oppose Whites, support Blacks) they are endorsing a dictator
to continue to torture and kill, mostly Black folk, but some Whites too. As Janet
Albrechtsen , one of the few Australian journalists to take Mugabe to task has
said "This leadership
seems to have inspired a unique African racism, blacks,
killing blacks
ethnic cleansing was part of Mugabe's political repertoire." Another
journalist, UK "gay activist" Peter Tatchell (cited to give an illustration on
the extent of the problem) wrote in The Independent (cited The Australian
27/3/07 p.15): "Large sections of the liberal left opinion have gone soft on their
commitment to universal human rights. They rightly condemn the excesses of British
and US government policy but rarely speak out against oppressors who are non-whites
and adherents of minority faiths. There are no mass protests against female genital
mutilation, forced marriages, the stoning of women and gender apartheid in the
Middle East." A good question from a "gay
activist" apart from accepting the liberal-left nonsense that Botha "murdered"
blacks. Consider South Africa today under Black rule. The Australian Beacon
(Issue 20, 2007 p.5) reports on "Operation White Clean-Up," which is a plan by
the police and army to eliminate all White people on the death of Nelson Mandela.
The ANC slogan coined by ANC Peter Mokoba, "Kill the Boer, kill the farmer" was
found by the South African Human Rights Commission not to be hate speech, but
an expression of the constitutional right to free speech." (p.12) But, imagine
the different response if Afrikaners starting chanting "Kill the Xhosas, kill
the blacks" at the next funeral of a white farmer and his family, murdered by
blacks. In South Africa, attacks on white
farmers continue unabated. Since 1994, the year the ANC took power, white farm
workers and their families have been murdered. According to President Thabo Mbeki
of South Africa, these farm murders are "the final stage of the revolution." (Cited
Australian Beacon p.12) |
CONRAD
BLACK CONVICTED OF FRAUD AND OBSTRUCTING JUSTICEThe
Canadian-born peer was accused of stealing millions from Hollinger International
where he was chief executive until November 2003. Convicted on three counts of
fraud, Lord Black could face 35 years in jail when sentenced in November. He first
entered the business in 1969 by buying a local paper, the Sherbrooke Record, with
his friend David Radler. Within a decade,
the pair had a successful chain of papers and hit the big-time in 1985 by buying
the Telegraph titles in Britain. His rise put him in the big league with Robert
Maxwell and Rupert Murdoch. Robert Maxwell also fell foul of the law, and committed
suicide rather than face the consequences of his criminal actions. The
jury was given details of Black's lavish lifestyle, which the Chicago court heard
was partly funded through fraud. Black's co-defendants and former Hollinger International
executives Jack Boultbee, Peter Atkinson and Mark Kipnis have also been found
guilty of fraud. The once-powerful chief executive was cleared of charges
of racketeering and tax evasion, but could face a maximum sentence of five years
for each fraud count and 20 years for obstruction of justice, as well as a huge
fine. |
MONARCHY
PRODUCES BUMPER PROFITfrom David Flint's
Opinion Column Having just been harangued in Australia by media stories
about the alleged costs of the monarchy, the true story does come out occasionally.
Rather than constituting a financial cost, the British government, and presumably
the British taxpayer, has once again made a very handsome profit from the monarchy.
Until 1760, the costs of the Crown were paid
by The King directly from his own revenues. From that time the practice developed
of the Sovereign agreeing, for the term of his or her reign, to transfer the revenues
- but not the underlying properties which produce the income - in return for what
was called the Civil List. Even with other grants-in-aid, as payments additional
to the Civil List are known, this has proved in recent years to be a bargain for
the British government. This profit is the
net income the government receives from the Crown Estate and certain other hereditary
revenues. This financial year the gross income was 184.8 million pounds. In return,
the government funds the costs of the British Crown, which last year were 37.4
million pounds. The profit therefore amounts to 147.4 million pounds. This is
about 345 million Australian dollars. Contrary
to the suggestions of some, the government does not pay a salary or allowance
for The Queen. The Civil List and grants-in- aid are mainly to maintain official
buildings and to perform the functions of Sovereign.
Nor is any allowance
or even provision for disbursements made by the Australian government for costs
associated with the functions of The Queen of Australia, except of course in relation
to State Visits, or as the Canadians put it, Homecomings. As with any visiting
minister or official, it is elementary that these costs include official gifts.
Do some journalists and underemployed republican
politicians seriously think that when Mr Keating, for example, gave some memento
of Australia to say, the President of Indonesia, Mr. Keating rather than the Australian
Government paid for this? Of course they don't. They know that official gifts
are in all instances charged to the costs of a ministerial or official visit.
Another canard is to add some accounting figure for security costs, as though
the officers involved are not already employed to perform these services. Blair
will cost £3 million annually According to the London Daily Telegraph of
9 July, 2007, it is going to cost three million pounds a year to protect Mr Blair
in retirement from terrorists; does that mean that he should never come to Australia
on an official visit as say, Middle Eastern envoy, because our police will also
be involved in providing security, and some underemployed politician will carry
on about it?
The fact is that the Royal Family and the Governor-General
are deliberately singled out for "beat-ups" - stories - about so-called "costs,"
as well as for questions in Parliament and in the Senate Estimates Committee.
This has nothing to do with obtaining and relaying information in the public interest.
It is just another weapon in the political campaign to remove those constitutional
checks and balances on the exercise of power which so annoy the political class.
I remember at the time of the 1999 referendum campaign suggesting to a prominent
independent republican that the official republicans probably did not appreciate
that their model would concentrate even more power in the prime minister of the
day. His response was that they not only knew that, this was precisely the result
they wanted. For each Briton, this year, the
cost of the Crown is about 62 pence but this is covered several times by the income
from the Crown Estate. And as Sir Alan Reid, Keeper of the Privy Purse, pointed
out, the 62 pence "is the annual cost, not the daily, weekly or monthly cost."
Sir Alan added: "We are pleased that the total cost of the Monarchy is now 7%
lower in real terms than it was in 2001. The reduction in the amount of Head of
State expenditure reflects the continuous attention the Royal Household pays to
obtaining the best value for money in all areas of expenditure. "In
the current year there was a real decrease in expenditure of 2.7% due mainly to
a reduction in refurbishment costs at the Palace of Holyroodhouse, offset by increased
costs in dealing with a greater number of Freedom of Information enquiries. [DF:
These would be mainly inquires from journalists many of which would not be bona
fide inquiries, but campaigns to misuse the news columns to attack the Royal Family
or invade their privacy.] The real news Sir
Alan's warning that various historic buildings are not being properly maintained
attracted most media attention. The real news was the bumper profit the government
is making from the monarchy. In any event Sir Alan explained that: ".since the
allocation of the Property Grant-in-Aid was fixed by the Government in 1991, it
has effectively been reduced by 69 per cent in real terms. Now there is a critical
backlog in maintenance projects and if our historic buildings are to remain safe
it is essential that the grant is increased by £1 million per year." The British
government should give more of Her Majesty's money back - after all it would be
to maintain the national estate. We must not
forget that our Westminster system, with the constitutional monarchy at its heart,
is the only stable and democratic model of government which both works for extended
periods and has been successfully exported to other countries. That is its principal
benefit. But I would say that the fact that the monarchy effectively costs the
British nothing, and is self financing, is surely another advantage. When I pointed
this out to a republican, he seethed as he asserted: "When Britain becomes a republic,
we'll nationalise the Crown Estate." I pointed out that without just compensation
that would be illegal under European and British law. The 2002 judgement in the
case brought by the King of Greece about property stolen from him by Greek republicans
demonstrates that, although the compensation ordered was grossly inadequate. And
let us not forget that another significant benefit of constitutional monarchy
is its prodigious impact on trade. As we reported in this column on 9 March 2007,
the marriage of Princess Mary to Crown Prince Frederik has led to a surge in trade
between Australia and Denmark.
The UK travel authority, VisitBritain,
has revealed that 57% of visitors to the UK cited the monarchy as the principal
reason for coming. According to Richard Palmer in the International Express, 27
March 2007, the resulting income for the UK is around 9.5 billion pounds - about
twice the value of exports by the British arms industry. And its not just
the buildings, the most frequently asked questions at the Britain and London visitor
centre concern the Changing of the Guard, The Tower, Buckingham Palace, Windsor
and the State Opening of Parliament. No republic does this." |
THE RSPCA AND ITS QUESTIONABLE ACTIONSThe
NSW Volunteer Fire Fighters' Association has established its own website and email
newsletter. Mal Davies, the editor reported on the Gestapo-like tactics of the
RSPCA towards a 71 year-old farming lady and writes: " As a person who has
grown up in farming, and fought for this nation, I find the RSPCA shooting of
nursing cows on Ruth Downey's property, then leaving the calves without any source
of milk, is a reflection of the dictatorship bureaucracy that we the people have
let breed and flourish." Mr. Davies continues:
The RSPCA "converged on a defenceless farmer's property with orders to execute
her cattle that they considered starving. The only sound that was drowning out
the rifle shots being fired by the RSPCA Brown Shirt's muskets, was that throbbing
hum of the diesel engine powering the semitrailer truck laden with feed arriving
on the killing fields for the so called famished stock. This was accompanied with
the anguished cries of a 71 year-old lady, the distraught victim, being restrained
by attending police. Did they stop the executions? - NO BLOODY WAY
"The truth
hurts, but when it comes from Ruth Downey, a 71 year-old farming victim, the truth
is damning indeed. Following on from our story in SOS-NEWS, Monday 9th July, concerning
the out of order, despicable, fascist execution of a farmer's livelihood - now
read the background and subsequent gung-ho mental giants of the RSPCA firing squad.
Farmer Shoots Back At RSPCA
Killing: Had feed - and hope: Below is the
real truth from the victim of an RSPCA shooting spree, as published in "The
Land" Thurs 12th July: Sir; I understand it is customary to contact both
parties if there is a different point of view in a story, but I was not contacted
when Agriculture today printed a biased report about the cattle shooting incident
at Pilliga (June 28 p.3) My name wasn't mentioned in the article, but there
has been so much publicity about this incident that it was obvious to me the "Pilliga
woman" referred to was me. I have kept my cattle alive almost continuously for
seven years, with very minimal losses, and I did not need orders from the RSPCA
to do so. My concern for, and determination to ensure the survival of my stock
was all the motivation I required. They were not, "ill and emaciated"; on the
contrary, four cows had recovered from pregnancy toxaemia. I carted their feed
and water, medicated them and ensured they changed sides frequently. All four,
along with 10 cows and heifers, has easily calved strong, healthy calves, with
no assistance, and were feeding them well. Fourteen cows had calves, eight of
which were less than two weeks old. Thirteen of these cows were shot and killed,
even though it required two men to hunt them out of the holding yard where the
RSPCA person waited to shoot them. "Ill" and "emaciated" cows cannot easily calve
and feed their offspring. The good size and condition of these calves when
borne was due to the fact that since October, 2006, I had been ensuring that any
cow showing in calf received an extra daily ration of a grain product from stockfeed
specialists, Sweet Bulk, at Baradine. People only had to use their eyes, or actually
listen to me. Certainly there was no paddock feed, given the extreme drought
and no useful rain for two growing seasons, but I had bought hay and supplementary
feed and only missed feeding daily on two occasions since March, 2006, until June
14 when the RSPCA arrived to shoot almost all my herd. I had enough hay and
supplements on hand for a week, plus 100 bales which arrived while the cattle
were being shot, and another 600 bales were coming in a week's time which would
have fed the cattle until mid-September. All the older calves were weaned and
the cows were strong and gaining condition, all toxaemia cases had recovered and
the weather was looking more hopeful than it has for years. However, the group
of so-called experts were determined not to see this fact. The killing was done
simply to satisfy somebody's spiteful determination. - - Ruth

on earth is happening to this country when such Gestapo-like tactics are carried
out on a defenceless 71 year-old woman? |
