Pauline Hanson to visit her new seat of Blair while confusion reigns within the media.

Pauline Hanson, who will target the seat of Blair west of Brisbane in the next Federal Election, is set to visit the town of Kingaroy later today.

Ms Hanson's One Nation party has a candidate, Dorothy Pratt, running for the Kingaroy seat of Barambah in the Queensland state election this year. If Mrs Pratt polls well it is expected that Ms Hanson will walk it in Blair.

In related news the president of the Kingaroy branch of One Nation, Peter Hayden, resigned last night after Mrs Pratt's selection ahead of him at a recent poll by One Nation branches in Barambah who had to select from three candidates.

A spokesman for One Nation's state campaign committee said last night, "Whatever concerns Mr Hayden may now allege, the fact is they did not concern him until he lost pre-selection."

Meanwhile an amusing incident took place today when the Queensland Times, who broke the story on Pauline Hanson moving from the seat of Oxley to Blair on Wednesday but then yesterday received a copy of a poster which had been printed (seen here right) showing Ms Hanson running for Oxley.

The poster, which was authorised by her political adviser David Oldfield, appeared on the front cover of today's paper with the headline "Hanson for Oxley" poster.... Confusion as leader delays decision...

The story starts, "Confusion surrounding Pauline Hanson's political intentions after the discovery of campaign posters showing she will run for Oxley."

But the real confusion comes in when the paper says, "The party's national director, David Ettridge, confirmed he had seen a copy of the poster, which had been obtained by the Queensland Times, but refused to comment further,"  and to top it all the statement by the paper that, "The posters contradict claims made by Oxley branch members in Wednesday's Queensland Times, that Ms Hanson would today announce plans to run for the neighbouring Federal Seat of Blair."

You see there is no Oxley branch of One Nation - several weeks ago it changed its name to "Ipswich branch"....

David Oldfield, Pauline Hanson's political adviser said to the paper yesterday, "I can only state that it (the poster) must have been sent to you by someone with nefarious intent.

"I won't comment. I have no explanation for the content at this stage."

Trade deal web site stirs interest

Queensland Times, 30th January 1998

One Nation’s recent focus on the controversial Multilateral Agreement on Investment (MAI) is already attracting international interest and feedback on the internet.

One Nation Party supporter Scott Balson, whose Karana Downs-based company Global Web Builders is an internet researcher for the party, said a web page set up earlier this week to outline the issue had received interest domestically and from overseas.

“Initially I stumbled upon on the MAI issue quite inadvertently in April last year,” Mr Balson said.

“But it soon became obvious after months of research and capped off by the ABC’s “Background Briefing” report that it had opened up a real can of worms and there has been a great deal of feedback from all parts of the globe.

“Already there have been more than 200 visitors to The original, official Australian MAI and FSIA (Financial Services Industry Agreement) web page (set up last week) while the original MAI page set up on 5th December 1998 has received thousands of visitors. I receive, on average, 30 emails each morning from around the world.”

The MAI which OECD countries have been negotiating since 1995, will establish new rules to liberalise the flow of investment into Australia.

One Nation Party leader Pauline Hanson said last week the MAI threatened to reduce Australian living standards.

Mr Balson said Global Web Builders volunteered its services to One Nation. “One Nation is the only Australian party where voters, not party politics, is the focus of policy and direction.”

The amount of public scrutiny given One Nation and its ongoing performance on the political stage is reflected in its number of visits to several of its major internet web sites.

Among the most popular are:

Pauline Hanson’s One Nation with more than 75,000 visitors in six months.

One Nation launch and branch launch site which has had more than 150,000 visits in nine months.

The Australian Labor Party (ALP) behind the "wharfies" strike.

Even a prize goose in Australia will have already recognised that the Australian Labor Party (ALP) and its executive/fringe groups are the most damaging component of our little piece of heaven. This divisive, media-supported, politically-correct group of thugs have now played their latest hand in usurping democracy.

Under the banner of "protecting Australian jobs" Australia's most inefficient union the Maritime Union of Australia (MUA), through the Australian Council of Trade Unions (ACTU), are now threatening to close down all Australian docks in ten days time unless the National Farmers Federation (NFF) give up their attempt to run their own non-union operation on the Patrick's "Webb dock" in Melbourne.

The MUA, of course, is a vocal member of the ALP's ACTU and is without doubt the most radical bunch of overpaid thugs rorting the Australian system today. In fact, the criteria of being a "wharfie" today appears to depend on a shortlist of factors: you have got to be big; a thug; skilled in intimidatory tactics and bone idle - oh, and add onto that it helps if your dad was a "wharfie" - the big salary packages gained by extortion and threats make the MUA members income totally out of whack with all other Australian workers.

Throughout this growing crisis the ALP have refused to take sides, sitting quietly in the background, gloating, while Australia's reputation as an exporter is further damaged. The media have, of course, failed to make the connection of the ALP with the MUA either.

In the short term some 800 Australian manufactured Toyota cars worth Au$20 million and ready for export to the Middle East sit on the docks cut off by the thugs manning the Webb Dock gates. This is obviously only the thin end of the wedge as once the Australian "wharfies" and their international mates from international transport unions start putting the screws on Australia's economy will be further affected - at the worst possible time.

Now MUA boss, Coombs, (who should be chucked behind bars) has claimed that the NFF were behind the training of wharfies in Dubai last year.

Last night Channel 9's A Current Affair was stirring up the wharfies by televising demonstrations taking place outside Webb Dock last night.

Some frightening post Asia currency meltdown statistics

You might recall we referred to the visit by George Soros, the man believed to be behind the Asian currency meltdown, visited South Korea earlier this month.

Well here is a frightening, but true, statistic for you. Following the crisis the South Korean stock market has crashed to a total value of just Au$55 billion - compared to the Disney Corporation which on its own has a share capitalisation of Au$67 billion.

That means that the Disney Corporation is worth more than one of Asia's fastest growing pre-crisis Asian tigers.

No surprise then that Soros, who would make the lead in the film "Wall Street" who said "Greed is good" look like a rank amateur. 

Victorian Premier, Jeff Kennett, allegedly splits with his wife.

One of Australia's most despised politicians, Jeff Kennett, has split with his wife Felicity after 25 years of marriage.

"It is not an easy time and we just want to try and get through the next few weeks and see what happens beyond that.

"It is very amicable, we speak all the time and we have got things we will be doing together with the children... the important thing is for Felicity and the children, with me, to adjust."

Mrs Kennett moved out of the family's Surry Hills home last week. She has been unavailable for comment.

Personally I believe the whole "split-up" is an elaborate scam to try to improve Kennett's flagging support in Victoria. There will be a quite remarkable reconciliation carefully stage managed by the media whose bosses Packer and Murdoch consider Kennett as a new age elite "mate".

Malaysian Prime Minister speaks out against "colonisation".

The Malaysian Prime Minister, Dr Mahathir Mohamad yesterday warned his people that they must fight "the colonisation of Malaysia by foreigners".

"We must realise the great dangers facing our country. If we are not careful we will be recolonised," Dr Mahathir said in a speech broadcast on state radio and television.

It is clear that Mahathir is referring to the recent Asian currency crisis and the impact of international agreements like the FSIA and MAI. The prime minister is a bitter critic of foreign agencies like the International Monetary Fund (IMF) who he claims conduct slavery on nations by imposing brutal economic prescriptions for reform in exchange for financial assistance.

Mahathir's famous speech to the World Bank conference in Hong Kong last year is transcribed here.

Politics:

Downer rejects claims on MAI

Queensland Times, Friday 30th January 1998

Canberra - Foreign Minister Alexander Downer has rejected claims by Federal Minister for Oxley MP Pauline Hanson that a new international trade treaty would remove Australia’s ability to control foreign investment.

Ms Hanson last week called on the government to stop "secret negotiations" on the MAI and open up the issue to public scrutiny, saying it would remove controls on multinationals importing foreign workers.

Democrats leader Meg Lees this week launched a petition against the Multilateral Agreement on Investment (MAI), which establishes new rules to liberalise the flow of international investment.

Mr Downer, speaking at a London business luncheon Wednesday night, said the treaty would not water down Australia’s existing foreign investment controls.

"I have noticed in Australia the sort of campaign that people like Pauline Hanson at the moment are running, saying that by going along with MAI, that means Australia is going to be swamped by a lot of terrible foreigners and the whole of Australia is going to be sold off," Mr Downer said.

"I think that, first of all, it needs to be understood that this agreement isn’t going to lead to any changes in Australia’s foreign investment policy.

"But secondly Australia has an interest in seeing a more liberal global investment regime.

"And the MAI also will lead to a more liberal global investment regime, although we will still be able to have the restrictions on the sensitive sectors that we currently have in Australia."

Subject: Here comes the MAI

Dear Sir,

How's this for a scenario.

Just like the "Port Arthur Massacre" was used as the "trigger" for the disarmament of the Australian people, so the Patrick Stevedoring leasing of one third of it's Melbourne dock to the National Farmer's Federation and the trouble and violence that erupts therefrom will be the "trigger" for the early ratification of the MAI.

The leader of the National Farmer's Federation assures us that he has enough money to fight any legal battle that is necessary. I was under the impression that the farming sector were doing it tough. So where does all this money suddenly come from? Give the reader a Kewpie Doll if they guessed Multi-national Dollars.

Subject: "Democracy Gets a Bum Rap"

Dear Sir:

The "Demo Farce" and/or the "Zippergate" defenders, Marc Plattner and Carl Gershman, argued in their Jan. 26 Wall Street Journal OpEd piece that the U.S.-sponsored "electoral democracies" were not responsible for the troubles in Russia, Afghanistan and Africa, not to mention in Bosnia.

Oh, please, save us these writers' insults to our intelligence. That's like saying that Hitler was not responsible for the Jewish Holocaust!

Of course, the U.S. New World Order elite are responsible for a "Demo Farce" which it has installed not only in our nation, but also in a whole slew of other countries around the world, modeled after our own crooked presidential "Socialism International."

How many times have you heard the likes of Bill Clinton, George Bush or other Washington insiders justify the presence of our troops or non-governmental organizations in over 100 countries around the world on the basis that they want to export to these nations American values, including freedom and democracy? This writer has lost count, but "ad nauseum" could be an adequate answer.

But words are cheap and the average American voter's gullibility is great, thanks to constant brainwashing by the duplicitous establishment media, such as you. It's only occasionally, such as in the case of Somalia, that tragic events show Americans how our government is actually exporting a Demo Farce and neo-colonialism under the guise of democracy and nation-building.

Luckily, there was no loss of life in the latest Demo Farce news. But there was a significant loss of liberty and/or national sovereignty in several countries around the world.

In Turkey, for example, its Supreme Court outlawed the country's largest and most popular Welfare Party which won handily the national elections the last time around. The Court also ruled that seven leaders of this Islamic party would be banned from political activities for five years. Among the seven was Necmettin Erbakan, a former Turkish prime minister, who was forced to resign from office in June 1997, after an incessant 12-month U.S. campaign against him, and the threats of a military coup.

Instead, Turkey now has an allegedly "secular" prime minister whose main function seems to be kowtowing to the State Department, and building the "diplomatic and military bridges" to Israel, another supposedly secular U.S. ally in the Middle East. In other words, by disenfranchising the majority of Turkish voters, the U.S. government seems to be deliberating stoking the Islamic religious passions in that country.

The idiocy of such a U.S. policy is staggering. Not only because it shows that popular democratically-expressed will of the people evidently means nothing to the Washington New World Order plutocrats. But also because they seem to have learned nothing from their past mistakes.

Need we say anything, for example, about how they lost Iran, an erstwhile U.S. friend, by allowing unchecked oppression to explode in an Islamic revolution in 1979? Or point out the human carnage in Algeria, another country where an Islamic party was similarly stripped of its fair electoral victory? Both situations provide ample hindsight about how quickly a Demo Farce can turn into a Demo Blast (i.e., civil war).

Which brings us to another region where similar U.S. policies have produced the greatest human and material carnage Europe has seen since the end of World War II - Bosnia.

First, we stoked the civil war by recognising Bosnia, a Washington-minted "country" which has never been more of a nation than is New York, for example, or Los Angeles - both multi-ethnic metropolis having seven and three-and-a-half times respectively greater populations than Bosnia.

Second, our government fanned the ethnic strife when the U.S. ambassador (Warren Zimmermann) encouraged the Bosnian Muslims' leader, Alija Izetbegovic, to renege on a Lisbon peace deal which all three Bosnian ethnic factions had reached in March 1992.

The U.S. recognized Bosnia on April 6, 1992. What followed was imposition of genocidal U.N. sanctions against the Serbs in May 1992, hundreds of thousands of casualties on all sides of a civil war, and more than a million refugees during the three-and-a-half years of vicious fighting. The U.S./NATO bombing of the Bosnian Serbs in August-September 1995 clinched the victory for the Washington-backed Muslim-Croat federation. The Bosnian war was eventually halted by a U.S.-imposed "peace" agreement signed in Dayton, Ohio, in November 1995.

Since that time, 98% of foreign investment has ended up in the Muslim-Croat federation. The Serbian half of the country got only 2% of the NWO foreign aid (see "Making Bosnia Work - by Planning for Next War?" -TiM GW Bulletin 98/1-04, 1/06/98). So the NWO war against the Orthodox Christian Serbs continues. It's just that money has replaced the bombs as the weapon of choice (interesting, isn't it, how that invokes similarities with the U.S. Iraq policy).

But the Bosnian Serb Republic got the 100% of the NWO Demo Farce in lieu if money. On Jan. 19, the NEW YORK TIMES reported that it took heavily-armed NATO troops to usher the newly "elected" Bosnian Serb prime minister, Milorad Dodik, into office.

And no wonder... Dodik's "party" won only two seats, including his own, of the 83 seats in the Bosnian Serb Republic's parliament in the NATO/NWO-engineered "elections" last November. But he is a stooge of the Serbian communist dictator-turned-NWO-quisling (Slobodan Milosevic), according to Vojislav Kostunica, the leader of the Serbian Democratic Party. Which is why Dodik was picked as prime minister by another NWO vassal, Biljana Plavsic, the Bosnian Serb president.

Can you imagine a "democratic" country anywhere in the world where a person who won only 2.4% of the vote, especially if even that was done fraudulently, gets to be the prime minister? This writer can't. Which is why Bosnia is a new example of a "banana republic without the bananas."

Meanwhile, over 60% of the electorate who voted for the two Serbian nationalist parties are now effectively disenfranchised. You're darn right that "Democracy Got a Bum Rap" - your OpEd piece's headline. And your editorial and OpEd pieces kept cheering it on.

So whose side are you o, anyway? That of the "Zippergate" defenders or that of the American people?

Subject: Comments on Australian News of the Day

In today's New Of the Day I read an article by Terry (nose up his A**e) Sweetman. In this he stated "Between them Freeman and Tan Le have arguably contributed much more than Ms Hanson" So Freeman can run faster than any female in the world, gee that is certainly reason to make her the most acknowledged person in Australia, if only she had found a cure for cancer or feed thousands of hungry children.

And for this Tan Le ( I like most other Australia's thought Tan who) she and her family couldn't handle the problems in their own country so they thought "lets take them somewhere else". She said something along the lines of " This woman has caused much hatred toward my Vietnamese community". Well Tan Le that is what we are trying to say get out of these tight knit communities and join mainstream Australia. If you wanted a Vietnamese community, I'm sure there is a lot of them where you came from.

Goodday,
Is this the same Terry Sweetman who had trouble with his home computer (Courier Mail 27/1/98) Sorting the wheat from the chaff, bad mouthing the Net.

Then 2 days later has the gall to print a load of rubbish about people he has never met and condemn them on hearsay.

Mr Sweetman your article will be fish and chip rapping this afternoon but we have your vile comments on the net forever.

sincerely yours Richard Kucharski

Subject: NAB rip-off

Dear sir/madame,

I have a 1) housing loan & 2) an investment loan on a rental property.

What I object to most with this bank is how they can change the terms of agreement of an account at the drop of a hat!

The fees they charge for accounts is very high. My mortgage fees are $10 per month, my investment loan fees are $8 per month.

Admittedly, I have not experienced what you have because I opted for a 12 month interest rate back in 1993. I have weathered the rates well!

But I do object to the way they charge like a bull! For anything that requires a simple computer transaction!

And, they continually make mistakes! Which, upon phoning my local branch, seem to be easily amended over the phone.

Their service is also terrible - the number of times I've been told to 'wait' is intolerable!

What has happened to a good banking service?

Unfortunately, I am unable to offer any help with your plight! Except to say:

Keep up your web-site! Get-up the bastards!

Regards,

Koss.

The War to End all Wars

Just Cause

High-sounding, almost poetic.

And then there is this next war, the next Holocausting of innocent Iraqi children - an all J-w enterprise;

The Clinton Blow-job War.

Please world, don't let this happen.

Last month, Bill Clinton refused to obey the orders of his J-w handlers. He refused to unilaterally attack Iraq. After feigning 'world support' it was revealed that the only support they had was Israel and Micronesia. And Billy Boy baulked.

What we are now seeing is the vulgar flexing of J-w muscle - not enough to get him impeached but just enough to jerk him back in line.

Mad Albright is in the air at this moment. She has with her the nation's purse, with which she will buy support. And when all else fails she will simply declare that this disgraceful gang 'who rule the Clinton court' will kill Iraq without their approval, participation, or consent. Dissident nations will be told to stay out of the way.

And Clinton will now do exactly as he is told.

Please world, don't let this happen.
