The losers - the defectors

A letter by Ted Ive, Northern Zone Queensland Vice President to all Northern Zone Branch Members

I think this is an opportune time to remind all One Nation members why they joined this party. That was to support Pauline Hanson and her ideals for Australia's future.

Pauline has had to overcome some major obstacles and so has the party. Many of these obstacles were brought about by placing trust in people who turned out to be unworthy of that trust. The executive of the party have proved their trust and their dedication to Pauline and One Nation. Some of these people may not be popular, but the fact remains, that they are doing a good job and they have earned Pauline's trust. Without them One Nation would not have achieved as much as it has in such a short time. No one disputes the fact that mistakes have been made, but we're all human and hopefully we can learn from our mistakes.

All the branches were formed with the aim of getting One Nation candidates elected into Parliament so that our ideals could become law and benefit all Australians. All the "grass roots" members can, and do, have input into our policies. No other political party has this democratic process to my knowledge.

Our One Nation politicians seem to have forgotten one very important fact, and that is they won their seats not because of who they were, but because they represented Pauline Hanson's One Nation. That is who the people voted for, not the individual members. They owe her their support and their trust, and they owe loyalty to all the people who helped in their campaign and voted them into parliament as One Nation members, not as independents.

The events of the last few days have been disturbing to say the least, but it hasn't "killed off" One Nation. We are there despite the undermining and the dirty tricks campaigns. Most of the people I have spoken to have all expressed disappointment at what has happened, but they all still believe in Pauline Hanson and One Nation. We now need to work together to repair the damage and to ensure that the candidates we select in the future will be worthy of our trust. We must get back to the basic reason for joining One Nation and set about proving that we are still viable and we are still the third largest political party in Australia. If anyone disputes this fact show them the results of the Federal election where One Nation polled higher than the Nationals, Democrats and Greens.

All organisations have problems from time to time, and fledgling parties have "teething" troubles, but as they mature, the problems lessen and they grow stronger. So it will be with One Nation

Ted Ive

Some responses to Ted Ive:

Hear, hear - a very well put letter. These dudes rode to their elected positions on the shirttails of Pauline Hanson, and what she represented: certainly not entirely on their own merits. What ingratitude.

Dear Mr Balson

I am not in the least disappointed about what happened. Nowhere is the "survival of the fittest' most applicable than in the field of politics. That the members who resigned because they could not have it there own way shows precisely their unfitness to the task. Unfortunately some members and representatives have misguided concepts about democracy and fail to realise that to survive there must be one vision, one leader or leader group or chaos prevails. When I decided to support One Nation it was not so much the leadership that attracted me but the principles for which they stood.

I remain a One Nation supporter and I continue to admire and respect Pauline Hanson for the courage she displays in the face of overwhelming odds. I respect and admire David Oldfield for his intellect, drive and energy. They will survive because they are not afraid to take chances and risks.

Cheers

It was interesting to note that no media orgs picked up on Bob Katters statement that 'The National Party will welcome the One Nation pollies as they're just returning to the fold'....This was broadcast on 2GB's midday news, then dissappeared into oblivion.

I also note the distinct lack of opinion polls in the lead up to the state election. At this stage of the campaign we're normally bombarded with them....The only one i've seen was todays & even that was on 'a 2 party preferred system' (God bless our democracy)!.....Could it be that O/N is still polling strongly despite the Media facade!

Keep up the fantastic work,

The major parties are living on borrowed time......& by God do they know it!

The Chairman of Dymocks

John Forsyth is the Chairman of Dymocks and, according to BRW is one of Australia's top 200 wealthiest people.
Here is an extract on the man BRW say is worth nearly Au$200 million.

Forsyth introduced modern marketing to book selling in Australia. One of Forsyth's great-great-grand-uncles, William Dymock, founded Dymocks 118 years ago. After privatising the company in the early 1980s, John Forsyth began a program of rapid expansion through franchising. There are 98 Dymocks stores in Australia and New Zealand, with all but the main Sydney store franchised. In a joint venture with Robert Kuok's South China Morning Post, Dymocks recently opened a franchised store in Hong Kong, with others to follow in China, Indonesia, India and Taiwan. Forsyth's wealth is also based on city property, including the Sydney landmark Dymock's Book Arcade. He also controls the listed gold producer Coolgardie Gold.

The question I am still trying to get answered is why a man with such wealth would personally get involved in the removal of a book from Dymocks stores around the country after carrying it for three weeks with no complaints to the bookstore, the author, the publisher or the distributor. 

Surely he has more important things to do and has staff lower down who normally handle these issues. After all "Murder by Media, Death of Democracy in Australia" has not received any legal threats.

The fact that I was told that this is the first time that Forsyth, himself, has personally got involved in the removal of books from the franchise chain's book shelves - in itself a very rare event - makes me highly suspicious of where the directive originally came.

As Chairman of multinational miner Coolgardie Gold NL Forsyth has a number of influential banking shareholders in the top twenty. Nominee companies like ANZ Nominees and Westpac Custodian Nominees.... the multinational media element.

He also has strong political contacts through his Chairmanship of Airservices Australia.... political treachery - another target in the book..

It is my personal belief that one of those parties smarting from the expose in the book has been making a few calls direct to Forsyth.

Interestingly I had a call yesterday from News Limited reporter Matt Horan about the move by Dymocks - but it is doubtful that anything will come of that and I would be pleasantly surprised, if it did, that the article would be objective. Time will tell - but don't hold your breath!

Last night I sold twenty copies of Murder by Media at a fund raiser for Senator-Elect Heather Hill. Mrs Hill is raising funds to fund her fight against Phillips Fox and Chinese-Australian Chuck Hong who has decided to challenge her election as a Senator because of allegations of "dual citizenship".

Below are some of the images taken at this function. Left to right: Heather Hill with Gold Coast Aboriginal David Dillon; Dr Glen Sheil (ex-National Party Senator) explains the Constitution; MC Keith Morrison; David Dillon registers his support for Heather Hill; the audience at Kedron RSL; the speakers; Heather Hill addresses the assembly.

One Nation haunts Libs, Nationals

The discredited Murdoch rag, The Courier-Mail was at its unethical best again today...

Here is an extract from the "editorial" with an overseas commentators views:

The present difficulties result from the National Party seeking to manipulate the emergence of One Nation, using its voting strength as a buffer against inroads the Labor Party was making because of real and perceived government weaknesses. But the Nationals underestimated the full impact of One Nation and failed to present a message which was attractive to the hundreds of thousands of Queenslanders tempted by the simplistic nostrums of Pauline Hanson and her followers.

Who did I vote for?

I am totaly disgusted at the actions of the MP's that have tendered their resignations this week!

Who do the voters vote for?? One Nation or the MP's personaly?? I bet you wouldn't find many that even took notice of the members name on the voting card....they were voting for the policies and principals of One Nation....not the person on the card. Now these people think they have the right to walk out on One Nation and go it alone.....NOT SO!! If they don't like it, quit and get re-elected at the next election the seat should be filled with another One Nation representitive. That way the voters are still being represented by the party they voted for.

The real issue

Dear Scott

As Lyndon La Rouche has warned, the global financial crash is gaining momentum and The Citizens Electoral Council in Australia have been working hard fighting to regain our Sovereignty. When the Laboral Coalition sold this country down the river. A Brave Couragous woman won the hearts of the thinkers in this country and people begged her to start a political party. She talked of CEC policies like National Banking, Currency Control and Tariff Protection for Industry and farming.

I'm sorry to say she didn't support a genuine Republic nor the "Con Job" Keating model. The Anglophile media branded her a racist because of the threat to the financial rape of Australia through Globalisation and British Free Trade. 24% of Queenslanders voted for One Nation Candidates and succeeded to gain 11 Parliamentarian positions. Alas! these people have now become politicians in all the sense of the word and have forgotten the pledge of Abraham Lincon " Under God that the Government of the people by the people for the people shall not perish from the earth.

Somewhere in their dreams they must think they achieved their positions on their own merit. These "Kernot's" have been placed in parliament by the courage of Pauline Hanson and the will of the people. We have a battle to fight to save Australia from the ravages of Globalisation and these dispicable pollies have put their own self interest in front of the future of Australia - Australian's that voted for them should demand that they also resign from Parliament and again let the people decide. They will disappear into political oblivion and so be it.

Murder by Media

Why did it take so long? Did you organise it Scott, just to get ME to buy it and put it with my other banned books?

What HAS got me bewildered though, why havn't they closed anotd down? Don't you owe money to the banks?

The "Real" Rupert Murdoch

Sometime this week, I heard on either TV Or radio that John Howard was considering updating the rules pertaining to Dual Citizenship. Namely allowing Australians who have taken out citizenship of another country to retain their Australian citizenship. Reading John Hamelton' comment today, the "penny dropped" (for me), of course, Rupert Murdock!

Am I being too suspicious, have you or others heard anything about this?

Barbara Behn

National Socialism

Scott Wilson’s response to the quotes of Adolf Hitler, by David Miller is spot on. The very nature of man is such that without the grace of God, a very hard thing to come by in this pagan age, most people wont get the message. NUMBER ONE always comes first.

May I add just a bit more from the thoughts of Adolf, taken from one of my banned books written by a bloke who was there at the time.

"...there can be no such thing as personal liberty...all men are merely individuals belonging body and soul to the race and to the state."

"...they are merely individuals, not persons, ....and only by sacrificing themselves completely for the domination of the race do they enjoy true liberty."

"The human race.. are so different ...that the lowest of them is further removed from the highest than it is from the highest species of animal.

Individual men exist by the State and for the State: whatever rights they possess come to them exclusively through a concession from the State..."

Why is it that I get the impression that this era (Hitler) was the first attempt by the New World Order to take over?
