Between the One Nation lines
Tonight I will be attending the One Nation rally in Ipswich's Nicholas Street.
The rally is headed for some very challenging moments during which our freedom
of assembly will be threatened. I was advised last night that the night creatures
from Griffith University in the guise of the Democratic Socialist Party (the
adult arm of Resistance) will be there as well.
The thugs are expected to arrive at about 6.30pm an hour before Pauline Hanson
speaks. Guests are expected to arrive from about 7pm. The thugs and the guests
will, because of the nature of a street rally, be mixing together.
Tomorrow I will carry exclusive images from the event. I hope and pray that
the thugs will let democracy prevail, but I have my doubts based on past
experience.
Pauline Hanson's bodyguards replaced because they were
"unprofessional' -
Amanda Vanstone.
Senator Amanda Vanstone has said that Pauline Hanson's bodyguards were replaced
last year because they were "unprofessional" not because they were "too friendly"
- this contradicts a Courier Mail line in
yesterday's paper
which was clearly meant to imply some sort of "personal relationship"
between Mrs Hanson and at least one of the guards.
"The level of professionalism was not what it should have been," Justice
Minister Senator Amanda Vanstone said.
Meanwhile Barbara Hazelton, back from an overseas trip, was speaking
to the media again, this time saying, "I would never ever bring into doubt
their professionalism, they were quite fantastic and I'm sure they would
have laid down their lives for Pauline."
I agree with that statement.
Hanson's One Nation will hold balance of power
There is only one thing that will stop Pauline Hanson's One Nation holding
the balance of power after the next Federal election and it is not the
possibility that the party will not win seats.
The fallout from the disintegrating Coalition threatens to dessimate the
Liberal Party. The National Party is already all but gone. If the Coalition
disintegrates further Labor will win in their own right even though One Nation
will win a handful of Labor seats.
Yesterday, the view that One Nation will hold the balance of power was supported
by Queensland state opposition leader, Rob Borbidge, who conceded that his
party, the Nationals, is likely to be annihilated in the poll.
Speaking on the ABC's Four Corners last night Borbidge said, "I mean we could
be potentially looking at the possible annihilation of the national Party
at a federal level.
"It could be that serious. I think the likely outcome of the next federal
election... based on the way the polls are going now, the that One Nation
will have the balance of power in both the House of Representatives and the
Senate."
Meanwhile the calls for National leader and deputy Prime Minister Tim Fischer
to step down are reaching fever pitch in a very public condemnation of his
performance.
One Nation senate candidates to pay Au$10,000
Some 40 hopeful Senate candidates for One Nation in Queensland have
been told, by letter, that the six successful candidates will have to pay
Au$10,000 to Manly to nominate for the federal election.
The money would go towards how-to-vote cards and posters, with losing candidates
being refunded Au$4,000.
The assistant secretary of the Queensland Electoral Campaign Committee (QECC),
Mick Chapman, wrote in a letter to Senate candidates on July 7th, "I would
also bring to your attention that the six successful nominees will be required
to lodge Au$10,000 with the QECC within seven days of endorsement as a Senate
candidate. This Au$10,000 will cover the costs of how-to-vote cards, business
cards and all essential materials within the Senate candidate kit."
Lip gloss, nothing more than lip gloss
Poppy King "the lipstick lady" who recently condemned Pauline Hanson and
One Nation has, it appears, her own fair share of problems after her business
partners pulled the plug saying that they had lost Au$2 million on the lipstick
venture.
Ms King was, until now, widely lauded as an example of how determination
can allow anyone to be successful. Personally, the only thing that I have
known Ms King to do is to talk to groups on "How to be successful"... seems
like the advice is somewhat misplaced after all.
Ms King went public about her financial problems yesterday much to the distress
of her partners, Tab and Eva Fried who invested Au$3.5 million in her business
in April last year.
"Poppy Industries is not going bankrupt, is not in any financially unsound
position. This is a dispute between the non-executive directors and myself
to end the business relationship," Ms King said yesterday.
Speculation is that she has gone public to try to attract new investors to
help her keep her financial dream alive.
Interesting how quickly even the much lauded mini-elitists can be dropped
by those who have the power and the influence to make or break people. In
1995 Ms King was announced as winner of the Young Australian of the Year.
An award now in the domain of the politically correct in our society.
Poppy King might just come to her senses, see what is happening to this country
and join the One Nation band wagon. The only political party serving the
interests of all Australians.
Beware the personal ID card
Here is an
extract:
Current law puts the government is in a position to
inappropriately monitor the movements and transactions of every citizen.
Not only is the national ID movement underway, it will be a reality by October
1, 2000. Congress considered delaying implementing the law because of privacy
issues, but apparently had decided to let the law stand.
Students of Bible prophecy recognize this as a possible
fulfillment of the prophecy found in the book of Revelation which reveals
that the antichrist will be able to track and control all financial transactions.
The scripture says that NO MAN will be able to buy or sell anything unless
he has the mark.
He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and
poor, free and slave, to receive a mark of his right hand or on his forehead,
so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name
of the beast or the number of his name. - Revelation 13:16-17
The Clinton administration is quietly laying plans
to assign every American a "unique health identifier": a computer code that
could be used to create a national database that would track every citizen's
medical history from cradle to grave. It would keep track as you change doctors
and insurance companies, track your diseases, the medicines you take and
why you take them. And all that information would be on a government
computer.

Sixty Lies Per Minute
Alan,
Your letter to the editor"Sixty Lies Per Minute", in
'You Say' of 3Aug98, was a classic among many classics, in its effective
rebuttal to Sixty Minute's feeble, aborted attempts at denigrating One nation
and its supporters.
If
you are ever tempted to curb your enthusiasm for One Nation - please DON'T
DO IT!

Hi Scott,
I trust you are monitoring the 60minutes vote monitor
;-)
I am logging some interesting screenshots of the 60
minutes 'discuss' forum. Here is the message I've posted. The message has
been getting longer each time I post it:
In response to the question "Why aren't One Nation
members prepared to discuss philosophies and policies?" I
wrote:
One Nation members do discuss philosophies and policies.
A better question would be "Why do 60 minutes choose to consistently misrepresent
One Nation?"
Common discussion points in One Nation circles is a)
what does Kerry Packer have to lose if ON gets seats?
b) how best to boycott the major sponsors of media products that consistently
breach the AJA code of ethics.
[end post 1]
This is the second time I have posted this. Does the
proud sponsor of 60 minutes approve of censorship of public comment on broadcast
material?

Dear ONE NATION . . .
What happened to the 60 MINUTES segment on the
Party?
Was it really that short (ie: only 15 minutes) ???
Surely, something as "life-threateneing" as the ONE
NATION PARTY deserves more than 15 minutes - and it wasn't as if they had
another "great story" to follow it (ie: a re-hashed story from 20 years ago
- that didn't even have a happy ending).
I got the impression that if the ONE NATION segment
had shown ONE NATION in a "bad light" then it would have been a ONE HOUR
SPECIAL. Is there any truth in this ? or am I just being a little paranoid
?
Yours . . .

Hi again Scott,
Did you or anyone else you know of capture the 38 minutes
IRC session from Sunday night? It would be interesting to see if the 38 minutes
transcript matches the actual session.
Methinks it's time to get serious about boycotting
the sponsors of shows that consistenly breach the AJA code of ethics.

Subject: Free Watch vrs 'Race Watch'
A 'committee' called 'Race Watch' has just been formed
to 'monitor "racist" comments' by candidates in the forthcoming Federal election.
Naturally, it consists of 'intellectual elites'[amongst them that vocal apologist
for multiculturalism, Mr Justice Seinfeld(any relation to the TV
character?)]
The 'brief' of this little collection of politically
correct anachronisms is to scrutinise the comments/language of all and sundry
connected with the election and to 'expose' them in the media! How boring!
Haven't these people got something better to do which might support candidates
who advocate their own ideologies: like grass-roots campaigning in shopping
malls, public places, small towns, regional centres, work-places and community
centres? Or don't they want to 'get their hands dirty' "mixing it" at the
coal-face with the common or garden variety populace of Oz?!
Perhaps a 'counter-committee' ['Free Watch'] should
be formed so that the rights of all Australians to free speech is upheld.
There are already a multitude of laws, both criminal and civil, to cover
untoward, inappropriate and illegal uses of the English language. Yet another
department of the Thought Police we don't need! cheers!

Subject: What do the Howards eat?
To demonstrate the effects of the GST, last Sunday's
(Sydney) Sun-Herald published the family budget of the McLean family who
have an annual income of $35,000. They spent $20 a week on fruit and vegetables,
$25 on meat, $55 on groceries, and the list continued detailing their budget
for meeting their mortgage repayments and rates, electricity, insurance etc
bills.
The paper also published something called "John Howard's
Shopping List". Howard's gross income is $210,000. His net is $116,556 which
translates into a nice take-home pay of $2,241.46 a week that he can plonk
in front of Janet. The Howard family expenditure was listed under the following
headings: fruit, flowers, groceries, extras and daughter Melanie's cigarettes.
The fruit, flowers and 'groceries' totalled $91.60.
According to this shopping list the Howards must be
very frugal, smelly but cultivated vegetarians. Janet spends $52 on fruit
and $31.50 on flowers and $8.10 on groceries. Though the shopping list detailed
how much she spent on strawberries, basil, rosemary, six corn cobs, three
pears, two big tomatoes etc, along with two takeaways of pizza and curry,
it made no mention of the usual items on the family grocery list. The only
items listed as 'groceries' were one litre of orange juice and four litres
of milk!
Apparantly the Howards don't buy bread, meat, cans
of tuna, breakfast cereals, pet food, butter or cheese. They don't buy vegemite,
peanut butter, jam, tomato sauce, tea or coffee. She can't be much of a cook
because no spices, flour, eggs, pasta, rice, oil, cornflour or even sugar
is on the list of groceries. No alcohol or cordials make the Howard grocery
list. As well potatoes, carrots, broccoli, cabbage and onions do not appear.
I must admit I was surprised that the Howards' don't buy soap, shampoo,
conditioner, toilet paper, deodorant, talcum powder, toothpaste, detergent,
washing powder or wool wash either.
Dear readers, make of it what you can.

Subject: Look out! The 'Big Aussie' under
threat!!!!
Don Argghh-head!, enemy of small business, the family
farm, the battler and ordinary working people has recently taken on the mantle
of 'Chairman' of the 'Big Aussie': BHP. Look out Australia! This economic
rationalist psychopath, globalist stooge, pro-MAI freak and declared enemy
of traditional Australian values(he once called small family farms who protested
against unfair bank foreclosures as 'extremist red-neck fanatics') is on
the loose. Whatever the faults of the previous Chairman of BHP(Ellis) he
wasn't in the same league as this Gordon Geccko-type company/small business
wrecker and lackey of the NWO! Be warned! This is just another example of
the utter contempt with which the 'elites'(big business, 'politicians', academia,
the media and 'the church') regard the average Australian battler and
worker!
You don't have to be Nostradamus to predict that the
days of BHP as a solely Aussie(or mostly Aussie!) compny are numbered
indeed!

Subject: tax
It must be so embarrassing to be a Coalition backbencher
these days. I can hardly believe that John Howard holds them in such contempt
as to reveal his tax plan to them and the public on the same day. He assumes
they will be good little boys and girls and publicly approve of a policy
they will not have seen before.
Howard treats the people that way too, but at least
we are increasingly likely to object and tell him what to do with his ruinous
policies. It's a pity the backbenchers are too afraid to do likewise.
If the tax reform package does not address the scandal
of multinationals paying little or no tax - and that's straight from the
horse's mouth: Jim Killaly of the ATO has frequently made the claim - it
will be treated with the contempt it deserves. The whole reason for the 'crisis'
in the Australian tax system is that the big end of town don't pay tax. Given
that, it's pretty obvious why they are paying millions of dollars to 'sell'
the government's 'reforms' to the mindless bunnies - sorry - the voters.
The GST will simply spread the tax burden more evenly
over all Australians, especially the poor ones. Instead of workers and (some)
businesses paying tax, everyone will now pay tax including the unemployed,
children, retirees, and mothers at home. The IMF will approve, and big business
will be spared.
And they still wonder why the natives are restless?
They can't be that thick! Can they?

Launch of One Nation
at Dandenong
Let me just settle one fact about the launch of one
nation at dandenong. The man who was beaten and required medical attention
was NOT beaten by anti-hanson protestors. He is an a-political man who just
wanted to hear one nation speak for themselves. He was in FACT beaten by
HANSON SUPPORTORS. This is a claim not made by me, but THE MAN HIMSELF. The
media chose not report this. No where in news coverage does he actually say
he was beaten by protestors. He says what happened, but not by who. The man
in question is a friend of a collegue of mine. And that is what he told my
colegue. So it's time to stop spreading the untruths about anti hanson protestors
being violent and dangerous. I thought One Nation and Hanson was about 'The
Truth'?

Subject: There are Jews and jews
Visit this site
to get a Jewish version of what
the Anti-Defamation-League is really all about. The ADL and B'nai
B'rith have the bloody cheek to accuse Australians of prejudice and monitor
politicians (by that they mean only one political party of course) for 'racist'
remarks, and yet condone the actions of Joe Gutnick, who also has the bloody
effrontery to take sides with the ADL!
Now Mr perfect Jewish Joe Gutnick makes millions of
quids from Australian gold mines, and sends the money to Israel to build
Jewish settlements on Palestinian land, and so fight a proxy war from Australian
soil, using our money and our resources. This is one foreigner that must
be sent to Israel, after his fortune has been confiscated to benefit Australians
- not Jews in Palestine. That is the thing he and his mates - the Leibler
brothers - fear most. They fear that if One Nation gets government in Canberra,
then off they go to Israel, minus their ill gotten gains from Australia.

Subject: One Nation To Govern Australia
I would like to say that I totally agree 100% with
the idea of making Australia One Nation, I am not a raciest and nor do I
think is Pauline Hanson but we do have to do something about the inequality
that is in Australia at the present, if people do not want discrimination
lets all be equal not two different cultures and in some cities 5 or 6. I
want all Australians to be equal not wether im black white. I do not see
why because you are black you should deserve any other rights than the same
as any other Australian. I have always Voted Liberal but I am going to Vote
One Nation at the next election We have got to get it right for the good
of all Australians not the minority groups who seem to dictate to the rest
of us what is right this is a democracy and we should all have the same rights
as each other to live work and bring up our families in a free non discriminate
country that we are all proud of. Thank you Pauline you have got the right
idea and I wish you all the luck in the world and I hope you can make a
difference.
Yours Faithfully

Subject: Let One-Nation have a say...
Hello,
Why is one Nation going to be last on voting cards
? They are an equal party to other parties, and therefore should be given
the same chances as other parties. Fair enough One Nation is controversial,
but isn't every other party. I don't think I have seen a political decision
ever, that hasn't been played down by other people and parties. When I see
parliament on TV, it scares me that this room of grown men and women run
our country. They act like a bunch of 3 year olds.
The biggest problem I have with people protesting Pauline
Hanson is the fact that no-one has let her have a fair say. When she came
to Newcastle, Hunter street was blocked off and full of protesters. I dont
support or reject One Nation at this stage because I don't know what their
policies are, because no-one lets her have and UN-interrupted time to say
them. I think Pauline Hanson should get a time slot on National TV for say
an Hour, and say what has to be said, then no protesters can interrupt
her.
I think people should listen to what she has to say
and then make a decision on weather to support her or not when they have
the full story, and that isn't going to happen when people don't let her
get a word in edge ways.

Subject:
National ID
Cards
Dear Scott
Further to our previous contact, I have found the below
information about what is happening in the United States to introduce a National
Identity System. I am sure you will find it very interesting.
I think it would be an excellent idea to bring this
issue into the spotlight - particularly as the Prime Minister must call an
election in less than 7 months from now.
Since the USA is now ready to have this system put
into law we Australians need to ask those who are in power & influence
and/or control our Government what they intend to do to introduce this National
ID System into our country. They (whoever "they" are) obviously intend to
have this same system set up & running also. They have allready tried
- Do you remember the "Australia Card" Bob Hawke allmost succeeded in
implementing when he used to be PM? It would be illegal for any Australian
to open & operate a bank account or (if I remember correctly) to buy
or sell anything over the value of $10,000 without it. One Nation MUST expose
this insidious attempt (which will succeed if you do nothing to prevent it)
of increasing Government control & knowledge of our private affairs.
One Nation MUST determine what policies OUR Governments have or allready
implemented to bring in this National & more than likely International
ID system which the article below describes has allready happened to innocent
US citizens. WE MUST NOT LET THIS HAPPEN TO US ! One Nation (and their leaders
Miss Hanson & Mr. Oldfield) MUST ACT NOW to bring to all Australian's
attention this hidden government agenda.
Please pass this letter & the information below
on to Miss Hanson & Mr. Oldfield without delay. They are the only ones
with the guts to confront our political leaders with this agenda, expose
it for what it really is & hopefully prevent it from happening. Waiting
untill after the election is called & held will be too late. One Nation
holding the balance of power in either or both the House of Reps & the
Senate will be completely irrelavant because the three other major parties
will combine their votes in parliment together to form a "National Government"
to completely neultralize any influence One Nation will have. If this subject
is raised into the public arena NOW it can become an issue far more important
to ALL Australians than weather we have a GST or not. One Nation is the only
force in this country which can prevent or at the very least delay what you
will read below from happening here.
Our very freedom is at stake. Don't you agree with
me this is the most important thing for our country & our people?
Finally with reference to the two books I previously
mentioned, I now relize I don't have them as I have lent them to someone
else. I strongly urge senior members of One Nation, especially Miss Hanson
& Mr. Oldfield, to obtain & read these books. It will provide you
with an enormous amount of information on what is happening behind the scenes
which our Governments & the Media over many years have kept hidden. They
are called "Final Notice" & "Better than Nostrodamus" by Barry Smith.
They are available from the below bookshop:
Crossway Bookshop
2 Vision Drive
Burwood East VIC 3151
Phone: (03) 9886 3788
I sincerley hope that you take to heart the issues
I've raised & put into action to fight vigirously against our Government's
plans to introduce this terrible ID System. If you succeed in doing this
not only will the Coalition be destroyed at the next Federal election, One
Nation will be thanked at the ballot box for fighting for our freedoms &
rights. The only problem we will then face is whatever coalition of parties
has the power & control of the Parliament after the election, they will
more than likely continue to implement the New World Order objectives (an
international ID System is only one objective they have). Perhaps they will
then be in a position to accellarate it. Our fight against the centralization
of power will never end.
To finish I'd just like to make one comment re the
60 minutes programe I saw last night. The whole thing was obviously contrived.
The question I have is this: Contrived by whom? Richard Carlten is very clearly
a part of the influnce the media have to help bring about a World Dictatorship.
I have no doubt Ray Martin is also & has been right since he started
his career in journalisim more than 20 years ago. I wonder if he is a Freemason?
Perhaps he is a member of one or more of the following orginizations -
I know for a fact many of our politicians are:
-
The Bilderbergers
-
The Club of Rome
-
The Trilateral Commission
-
The Skull and Bones Society
-
The Planetary Citizens
-
The World Council of Churches
I trust this letter is received by the right people
in your party.
Please write to me Miss Hanson & Mr. Oldfield to
let me know you have read this letter & the below information & if
you have interest in obtaining the two books by Barry Smith.
Yours Sincerley

Police fear for MP
Cameron refuses help after ETSA stand abuse
By Political Reporter PHILLIP COOREY
Police have told senior Labor MP Mr Terry Cameron they
are concerned for his safety.
But he has rejected offers of assistance despite being
the victim of several incidents since he publicly declared his support last
month for the sale of ETSA and Optima Energy.
The incidents last week involved Mr Cameron's car,
home and office.
A spokeswoman for the Deputy Police Commissioner, Mr
Neil McKenzie, confirmed yesterday he had instructed an officer to contact
Mr Cameron to express concern about his safety. The spokeswoman said Mr Cameron
had been offered a risk assessment to see whether he warranted around-the-clock
protectection.
Mr Cameron said he had declined the offer - for
now.
"I had a word with the police and told them a few of
the things that have been going on," he said.
Since Mr Cameron told parliament last week that he
thought ETSA and Optima should be sold to help ease the State's debt, he
has had his:
-
CAR windscreen broken.
-
OFFICE at Parliament House broken into and some of
his ETSA papers stolen.
-
HOME broken into and two condoms left in the
bathroom.
Mr Cameron did not want to comment on the matter involving
his home but it is understood the condoms were left in a conspicuous position
to anger his partner,
Mr Cameron said he did not have any suspicions about
who was responsible for the attacks or even if they were linked.
The Treasurer, Mr Lucas, said the pressure being applied
to Mr Cameron was similar to tactics used against former Labor MLC Mr Norm
Foster, who broke ranks and voted for the Roxby Downs Indenture Bill in 1982.
Mr Lucas said any situation where an MP had a specific view and was then
subjected to harassment "is regrettable".
A spokeswoman for the Opposition Leader, Mr Rann, said
Mr Rann would not comment.
Mr Cameron said he expected this week in parliament
to be "pretty rugged", during debate in the Upper House on the sale of ETSA
and Optima.
He is likely to speak in support of the bill but is
as yet undecided on how he will vote.
With the democrats and Labor opposed to any sale, the
Government needs the support of No Pokies MLC Mr Nick Xenophon, plus another
MLC such as Mr Cameron to break party ranks.
Cheers
