THE SWISS INITIATE CAMPAIGN FOR BASIC WAGEfrom François de Siebenthal
Swiss Open Society to a Real Economic Democracy
In two or three years time, Swiss citizens will vote on basic income. They will be the first citizens in the whole world to be asked this powerful question: do you want a basic income? Do you want everyone to have their needs met without condition? Can you imagine that for almost a year and a half, we, a bunch of average people (not political parties) were on the streets collecting signatures? Whether it was cold, hot, snowy, there we were, with our petition in hand, listening to people, watching their eyes glowing with wonder and surprise, or even full of doubts. We were there, all volunteers, simply for the sake of freedom, the happiness to share, the faith in humanity, convinced that our society needs to change, convinced that it is possible if each of us does their part. We were there, because the idea of basic income is not about money, it is about life, about what is really important for you, for me, as human beings. When I ask someone if they want basic income, what I really ask them is; how do you really want to live your life, what is important to you, what gives meaning to your life? What would you do if you could choose? Such powerful questions, that we can’t often ask! The Swiss People’s Initiative: |

“BE CAREFUL OF WHAT YOU ASK FOR” cautions Wallace Klinck, Canada
Oliver Heydorn’s warnings should be noted with grave concern
I think that when someone from the Financial Times makes this kind of suggestion we should be very cautious. Giving the state the sole power to create and issue money is fraught with dangers of various sorts. While I think that all producer credit could be created by a NCO in a Social Credit economy, the power of issuing that credit would still have to be the normal and untouchable prerogative of a multitude of private banks operating on a decentralised and competitive basis for profit. We do not want to inadvertently re-introduce the monopoly of credit in an even stronger format by blindly jumping on this or that 'monetary reform' bandwagon. Total state control of money would be a fine basis for the introduction of a totalitarian society. I don't want to live in the Soviet Union no matter how well such a regime change may be marketed.” Bottleneck lies essentially and increasingly in sphere of consumption
There is a vast difference between merely accounting the spontaneous production and consumption of a nation and centralising the issue and control of the nation’s credit. The State has a justified limited responsibility for issuing effective demand equitably to all citizens to balance it with final prices but it does not have a natural right to exercise a monopoly over the issue and creation of credit for the purposes of activating productive activity. Beware the “Wolf”! "Political language is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind." - - George Orwell. Readers need to purchase Oliver Heydorn’s latest books to get a firmer grasp of the absolutely fundamental issues involved – all relating to your Freedoms!

SOCIAL CREDIT NATIONAL ACCOUNTING WOULD BE LIKE THISFor those with a head for accounting procedures study the outline for a Social Credit National Accounting system prepared by Victor Bridger. Some of the subheadings are: A National Balance Sheet : Construction of a Balance Sheet : A Realistic Approach to a Balance Sheet. In an Introduction to a National Balance Sheet, Victor Bridger explains:
We need not concern ourselves with the fallacies contained in the simplistic approach in the above except to point out that if there is any use at all for the compilation of such figures it would be for the purpose of obtaining information on trends that may occur. These trends may offer assistance in obtaining statistical information on changes that may be occurring within the economy. However the information does not reflect the true state of the economy. The contention that is being presented here is that the nation should be regarded as being similar to a large company and the accounting conducted on similar lines but not the same principles. A starting point would be to regard the nation, e.g., Australia as Australia Ltd.
A number of fundamental basics for the compilation of a National Balance Sheet would include:
In detailing the particular aspects of the above grouping it will be seen that a change in certain philosophies will be necessary. It is no small assertion to state that it is precisely certain philosophies that have been and are a hindrance to the attainment of a change in national financial accounting principles for the betterment of the people in the world.

THE REPRESSIVE ‘TOLERANCE’ OF THE ESTABLISHMENTby Richard Miller
These points are all accepted. However the “Right” is equally as intolerant of criticisms of immigration and racial debates. There is no tolerance of the rejection of the policy of Asianisation, and the economic Right and politically correct Left both are intolerant of those defending traditional Anglo Australia, which for both wings of politics is now beyond the pale. The economic Right does not resort to straight out violence against so-called far Right critics, but it deals with them in ‘respectable’ ways. For example no ‘far Right' academic, say holding views similar to those expressed by the likes of Alfred Deakin on the legitimacy of the White Australia Policy, exists at any Australian university. If he or she did, she would not hold her job for long because such sentiments would be taken to offend against the sacred international student marketing. Library shelves in the Social Sciences sag under the weight of multicultural/three-cheers-for-immigration books, with no critique appearing in mainstream presses of the religion of immigration. |

FELLOW LIBBIES DON’T WANT TO PLAY HOCKEY WITH JOEYby James Reed
And another: “There’s been no narrative. It’s been all over the shop. One minute we say there’s an emergency, the next there’s $8 billion for the Reserve Bank, $12 billion for fighter jets, and we’re still splashing out on the paid parental leave scheme”. The last comment is my favourite. Of course it is not about saving. It is about cutting down the lifestyle of working Australians in an agenda to make us all part of the Asia Pacific Third World. Socialists will be happy when we are all equal at the bottom of the great economic ‘wheelie bin’. |

I AM STILL DISCOVERING ‘GEMS’ IN GILAD ATZMON’S BOOKby Betty Luks
First an issue is raised which will most certainly polarise communities, and this ‘right/left’ polarisation, this dialectical confrontation, is then used to control not only discussions but political outcomes. It is practiced by all main political parties and all mainline media. When people begin to see ‘the wood’ instead of jus t ‘the trees’ the tactics and strategies become clearer. The important point is both ends of the polarized ‘conversation’ are controlled by key people who actually share the same philosophy of centralisation. Atzmon sees the tactics used by Herzl as illustrating “the essence of separatist ideologies – the aim to put barriers between people. Separatism is a strategy of ghetto-building and Zionists have followed this strategy since the late nineteenth century”, he writes. Other groups, including political parties, use the tactics and strategies to hold on to their political power and voter base, whilst keeping a nation’s people divided and alienated into opposing groups – all the time betraying the nation as a whole.
Monstrous Financial and Political Hoax Being Played Upon the Peoples of the World

BABYLONIAN SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT: ‘EYES AND EARS OF THE KING’!
Aren’t They ‘Lovely’? I will not attempt to comment because the English language does not provide me with the requisite tools. However, I have more or less assumed this to be the case for obvious reasons. Good to observe that an American academic has had the courage and integrity to raise the alarm. The Babylonian system of government, i.e., the "eyes and ears of the King". The US National Security Agency (NSA) directly sends all of the intelligence that it gathers to the Israeli regime, a political analyst tells Press TV. “We now know that all of the NSA’s spying is going directly to Israel,” James H. Fetzer, a professor at the University of Minnesota Duluth, said in a Saturday interview. “I believe that all of our allies should discontinue sharing their intelligence with the Unites States unless they are willing that it should go directly to Tel Aviv,” the analyst said.
The remarks come against the backdrop of revelations by US whistleblower Edward Snowden, a former employee of the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), who leaked two top secret US government spying programs against American and foreign nationals. The NSA scandal took even broader dimensions when Snowden revealed information about US espionage targeting friendly countries. Last October, Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff canceled a visit to Washington after it was revealed that her cellphone was monitored by the US surveillance program, as were the state oil company Petrobras and Brazilian citizens.

THE GREAT WHORE OF BABYLONIt is to the region once known as The Land of Sumer, giving way to the Babylon civilisation, that the ancient biblical "Great Whore of Babylon" can be traced. Babylon was then the religious/financial power that was known to early Christians (and New Testament readers) as 'Mammon'. In his brilliant paraphrasing of chapters 17,18,and 19 of the book of Revelation, author Peter Lock explains for us the Great Whore of Babylon, and helps us to understand that the Great Whore was not a person but a symbol for an international financial power. A power which had, over time, prostituted the role, the true purpose, of money. He writes: "The Grand Madam of Babylon was drunk and in maudlin mood. She sat on her throne beside the meeting place of the abundant waters from many rivers. All peoples, all nations of every language congregated here in submissive obeisance to her. All the kings and rulers of the world had come to her and committed fornication with her. All the dwellers of the earth had offered tribute to her and become drunk with the wine of her dalliance and adulterous deceit… Once more she would ride out into the desert and survey the wilderness her greed and financial follies had created…" www.alor.org/Volume38/Vol38No43.htm |

AMERICAN CIVIL WAR IIby Chris Knight
Add to this concern to purchase by the Department of Homeland Security of 450 million rounds of ammunition and 100 million rounds by the FBI. That is well over two bullets for every American. The official explanation is that the agencies buy in bulk to save money. Maybe so, but that begs the question about why it is necessary to have so much ammunition, all of it contrary to the Geneva Convention using expanding/dum dum-style rounds? Such rounds are not for military use, but are especially designed to kill civilians. So what civilians will be targeted? My hypothesis is that the American Establishment is getting ready for Civil War II, that is, they are planning for a war against a possibly rebellious civilian population, probably during a time of economic collapse. Gun confiscation will be undertaken, following the “false flag” massacres to come. In the wake of armed US citizens taking a stand against the Bureau of Land Management agents in the Cliven Bundy confrontation, the establishment must, naturally, be alarmed. Unlike America, Anglo-Australians in this land are not a problem, and our eradication will be conducted, not by bullets, but by biological control – limiting our food resources, limiting birth rates and demographic replacement by mass migration. This program of quiet genocide is already well advanced but the little white bunnies just keep on nibbling on what remains of the land. |

TWINKLE, TWINKLE, WINKING TONYby Peter West
Yes, it was a form of communication. Anyone with practical wisdom would know that such a wink is a non-verbal way of communicating that the person of interest is talking garbage and that one is just playing along. The wink is a symbol of the Abbott mindset of cynicism about genuine suffering that his IMF/globalist inspired reforms are bringing to people. It was right for Abbott to be criticised for winking, but few people understood its real significance. That wink says more than a dozen newspaper/economic sermons.
The cunning beauty of this system is that the sheep who are controlled still think that the shepherd and the sheepdogs controlling them are just other sheep. The false political consciousness that this reveals is also bolstered by relative prosperity and material comfort, especially for the more potent and intelligent members of society. The consequence of this is that America is a de facto political desert in a way that other countries of the West are not. Unlike France, Finland, or Hungary, or a number of other European countries, where there is a considerable variety of political options available for voters, in America there are no meaningful choices outside the false duopoly which is merely a disguised monopoly. |

THE RUSSIA-CHINA COUNTER-ALLIANCE TO US-NATO AGGRESSION
By Alexander Clackson, Global Research, May 26, 2014
The Chinese President has also openly demonstrated his desire to create a counter-alliance to the U.S. Speaking on May 20 President Xi Jinping called for the creation of a new Asian structure for security cooperation based on a regional group that includes Russia and Iran and excludes the United States. Clearly pointing a finger at the United States he called NATO an outdated thinking of the Cold War. According to him, “We cannot just have security for one or a few countries while leaving the rest insecure”. In his speech Mr. Xi Jinping offered an alternative vision for the region based on an all-inclusive regional security framework rather than individual alliances with external actors like the United States. China’s proposal to push forward with the ambitious Free Trade Area of the Asia Pacific met an especially chilly reception from the U.S., which is focused on a 12-country trade agreement known as the Trans-Pacific Partnership, which excludes China. The move has clearly unsettled the Western establishment. Former U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates said that China and Russia are becoming more aggressive as they perceive the U.S. pulling back from world affairs. In other words, Russia and China are standing up to the American hegemony and pushing back against the U.S. aggression that the world had witnessed over the last few decades…” Source: https://www.globalresearch.ca/the-russia-china-counter-alliance-to-us-nato-aggression/5383873 Editor’s comment: Now what did C.H. Douglas predict would happen as a result of war in the Pacific during WW II? “The Programme for the Third World War” is most enlightening. It first appeared serially in The Social Crediter between April and August 1943. Found here… https://alor.org/Library/Programme%20for%20the%20Third%20World%20War.htm#1a C.H. Douglas’ works are available on the website to download. “Whose Service is Perfect Freedom” with a foreword by Dr. Tudor Jones. Essential reading for those who wish to understand events which paved the way for World War II. http://www.alor.org/Library/PerfectFreedom.htm#1a “The Brief for the Prosecution”: Douglas’ last major work. In his Introduction L.D. Byrne wrote, “The Brief for the Prosecution” is an indictment of those persons, groups and organisations responsible for the systematic sabotage of Western Civilisation as a prelude to fastening upon a bewildered and deliberately demoralised humanity, an all-powerful World Government – a tyranny of unspeakable horror”. https://alor.org/Library/BrieffortheProsecution.htm#1a |

SOLDIERS SEEK TO MARCH IN PRO-LIFE, PRO-MARRIAGE RALLIESMilitary personnel have requested that the Australian Defence Force allow them to wear uniforms at pro-life and pro-marriage rallies. Spokesman for the newly formed Defence Force Conservative Action Network, Bernard Gaynor, says that he expects permission will be granted in line with the precedent set by Defence's decision to allow uniformed members to parade in the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras. "There are a large number of military personnel and military families who feel very strongly about pro-life and pro-marriage issues and they are now seeking the same rights that homosexual Defence members have," Mr Gaynor said. "Defence has stated that it is committed to diversity. This will be a true test of Defence's willingness to do more than talk the talk. It would make a mockery of Defence diversity policy if it allowed members to attend pro-gay marriage rallies in uniform but refused to extend the same permission to those members who wish to show their support for traditional marriage." Mr Gaynor said that the Defence Force Conservative Action Network (DEFCAN) was being established along the same lines as the Defence Force Gay and Lesbian Information Service (DEFGLIS), and would be seeking the same level of Defence support. "DEFGLIS has campaigned for gay marriage and to remove funding from religious organisations. That is their prerogative and it has not gone unnoticed that DEFGLIS has received official Defence support," Mr Gaynor said. "DEFCAN has now been established to assist Defence members with conservative social views to campaign for their rights. DEFCAN is staunchly pro-life and pro-marriage. DEFCAN expects to receive the same level of support from the Australian Defence Force as DEFGLIS. Anything less would be discriminatory and would make a mockery of the ADF's claim that it respects all of its members." Mr Gaynor said that the idea to establish DEFCAN came after he was contacted by hundreds of serving personnel, their families and former veterans who were concerned about uniformed military involvement in the Mardi Gras. "Let's not try and obscure the facts. DEFCAN is not our preferred course of action. We would have liked the ADF to end uniformed support for the Mardi Gras and maintain the existing policy allowing private political activity. Unfortunately, the ADF has chosen not to do that. So while we believe that it is preferable for ADF members not to wear their uniforms to political events, given the circumstances, we have no option but to seek permission to do so. It is the only way conservative members of the ADF can campaign for their values on an even playing field." Source: www.bernardgaynor.com.au 28 April 2014 Update from Bernard Gaynor, 4 June 2014:

SOCIALISTS, ROW, ROW, ROW THE BOAT ASHORE!Len the Clear Thinker
Well, I thought, we are but a Marxist-book-toss from two universities so I imagined that one of the little socialist cubs roaming these centres of learning may have plastered up the sign. Or perhaps it was off-campus socialists? Nevertheless the rhetoric deserves some comment. The writers no doubt thought that they were oh-so-smart to try and turn the argument against asylum seekers back against Anglo Australia. But wait, if the British committed genocide by displacing the Aborigines, then multicultural Australia, coming in the boats from 1947 onwards, continues the process. Come on you young Socialist cubs, don’t you think you are skating mighty close to “racist”? Gasp! |
