[$40m recovered from Rothwells, $10m deposited with Denis Horgan company]

   From "Content Samuel," October 18, 1992
   To: His Grace the Catholic Archbishop of Perth, Most Rev. Barry Hickey, D.D., St Mary's Cathedral, Victoria Square, Perth, W.A., 6000
SUBJECT: NOTRE DAME, W.A. INC LINKS, CHURCH MONEY
   In thanking you for your recent letter, I feel impelled to request full disclosure to all the Church followers of the MONEY INVESTED, LENT, PAID TO, ETC. IN DEALINGS WITH BUSINESS PEOPLE, whether Big Business or lesser, with the slightest hint of being WA Inc, Notre Dame, Barrack House Group, Bond, Connell, Dempster, or their families or friends.
   It was most disappojnting to have been given a response from your office that gave the impression all was well (after the $40,000,000 had been recovered from Rothwells), when the reality was that $10.6 million had been "deposited" with the Barrack Securities company of Mr Denis Horgan.  Was this $10.6 million additional money, or was it part of the $40 million?  And you have been quoted as saying that the $10 million (? $10.6m) was to help with a liquidity problem of the companies.  The "temporary shortage of cash" scam is a classic of confidence tricksters.

   It was pleasing to learn from one of your letters that links with Big Business had been broken; but the daily news media has informed the public that Mr Peter Prendiville, formerly linked with Mr Horgan's companies, seems to have a postion with Notre Dame Australia (the Catholic University).  The news media also reports tht Mr Bill Hughes is still connected with Notre Dame.  I understand Mr Hughes is Big Busines, and is the father of Mrs Eileen Bond, ex-wife of Mr Alan Bond, who was VERY Big Business.  Both of these were, if memory serves me correctly, on the early board of Notre Dame.  Therefore, it does not seem that the links with Big Business were broken.
   In my opinion, a thorough cleansing of Big Business out of Notre Dame would include the removal of these two, provided they are not replaced by people of similar circles.  A thorough cleansing of Diocesan advisory bodies would also seem desirable, but to a much franker and realistic standard than the standard so far set.
   Please will you consider making a public statement disassociating the Church from the Big Business-influenced board of Notre Dame, and withholding all parish contributions until a thorough cleansing has occurred.

   [COMMENT: It would seem that some leading lights in the get-rich-quick group were "piggy-backing" on moneys paid in for superannuation and/or holiday pay by employees of Roman Catholic activities, mainly schools.
   A list of Notre Dame Australia "governors" was sent to this prelate, and the answer included a request for a discussion.  Readers can guess that no discussion would ever move him towards righteous behaviour, so the writer did not take up the offer.
   The parishes were all ordered to send 10 per cent to the archbishop to meet the establishment costs of Notre Dame Australia. COMMENT ENDS.]
   [LOOK FORWARD: This website also has newsitems and commentary for the year 2008 about the brother of one of the above businessmen, and the Bethel Covenant Community.  The prelate forgot he had been told in 2000, not just 2007!  To make things worse, later a Church woman came forward and said she had complained about the sexy behaviour in 1994.  And he issued a statement that there had been no deceit in saying he had learnt of the sexiness only in 2007.  So that's all right then!  Not!

Call for fair share of boom windfalls

 
   The Perth Voice (suburban free newspaper), news [at] fremantleherald [dot] com , by BRENDAN FOSTER, p 2, Saturday, January 13, 2007
   PERTH: EQUAL rights for all and special privileges for none is the catch-cry of the East Perth-based Georgist Education Association.
John Massam, Georgist Education Association president, *Perth Voice*. Brendan Foster photo
• Georgist Association president John Massam believes everyone should share in nature's gifts and opportunities.
   The association is holding lectures this Sunday and Tuesday to explain the work of social philosopher Henry George who believed the root cause of social problems is an inequality of rights.
   "Henry George was a self-taught economist who argued that the task of government is to secure the equal rights of land to everyone," WA branch president John Massam said.
   Mr Massam said society should collect revenue from "windfalls" gained when people profited from shares or land values that go through the roof.
Lucky breaks
   "You can't tax a beggar but people who make huge amounts of profit from land or 'lucky breaks' should pay a bigger tax that is placed in public revenue," he said.
   "The public revenue collected from this tax could help pay for the police force, the army and navy and in doing so, lower income tax to almost nothing."
   Mr Massam said the Georgists also believed that there were imperfections in democracy and all opinions should be represented in parliament.
   "The Liberal Party defy what the State Government and people of WA want by planning to mine uranium, yet it goes against the popular will of the people," he said.
   Richard Giles from the Sydney branch will lecture on housing affordability this Sunday January 14 from 2 - 3.30pm at 10 Broome St, South Perth.
   There will also be a lecture on social justice and taxation on Tuesday January 16 from 10am - 1pm at the Georgist Education Association (Perth Tattersall Bowling Club), 2 Plain Street, East Perth.

• Council slams lock-up plan. 

Council slams lock-up plan

 
   The Perth Voice, by FIONA WILLAN, p 3, Saturday, January 13, 2007
   PERTH: IN a rare display of unity, Perth council voted unanimously this week against the WA government's bid to resume private Northbridge land for a new police station.
   The public gallery was a sea of familiar faces at Monday evening's special council meeting, called by Cr Judy McEvoy.
   Cambridge mayor Marlene Anderton, Property Council of WA president Joe Lenzo, Northbridge Business Improvement Group president Paul Afkos, former Big N president Bob Smales and the WA Association of Property Rights' Leo Killigerew were among the crowd.
   "This is an extraordinary attack on private citizens," Cr McEvoy told council.
   She criticised the government for failing to negotiate with landowner Graeme Hardie before deciding to resume Lot 12, at the corner of Lake and Roe Streets.
   Cr Max Kay said council would've thought twice about injecting $31 million into the Northbridge link project had it realised it would include a number of apartments overlooking a police lock-up.
   Councillors said sites such as the empty IMAX theatre, Mega-Mart building and James Street carpark opposite Russell Square were more appropriate sites.
   Perth Police Superintendent Duane Bell told the Voice the footprint of the proposed police headquarters was too large for most sites.
   "All [police] land was considered, all government land was considered and railway land was considered and quickly dismissed," he said.
   All large sites were considered, but Lot 12 was deemed most appropriate - it was the right size, was central and a relatively safe location for police headquarters.
   Supt Bell said Mr Hardie had been informed of the possibility of land resumption at a meeting in mid-2006.
   Mr Hardie told the Voice the first he heard of it was through an unofficial phone call from a government property consultant in November 2006. #
   [COMMENT: While landowner Hardie is having his land compulsorily acquired by the Labor State Government, disgraced former Labor Premier Brian Burke is being questioned over his telephone calls (being broadcast on radio and television) and other actions allegedly to assist a land developer who is planning the "Port Coogee" canal home scheme.  The Corruption and Crime Commission questions are also about firms acting for developers allegedly paying the electoral expenses of candidates (successful) for local government elections, and their subsequent actions.  "It's not what you know, it's who you know."  Should Mr Hardie telephone such lobbyists?  ENDS.]
   [2nd COMMENT: The report notes that "the empty IMAX theatre, Mega-Mart building and James Street carpark opposite Russell Square" were more appropriate.  Even people living on the other side of the planet could guess from Perth's population that it is indeed highly likely that there are a number of suitable alternative sites for the proposed lockup.  In the 1940s the lockup was north of the railway line; later it moved to East Perth almost at the Causeway.  What Perth needs are more police on patrol, not more lockups.   ENDS.] [Jan 13, 07]

WA farmers to get say on exports

 
   The West Australian, p 4, Thursday, January 18, 2007
   AUSTRALIA: WA farmers are likely to be able to express their views to an inquiry into the wheat export system at a series of meetings in the State.
   The Federal Government-commissioned inquiry into the export system, prompted by the Cole commission into the Iraq oil-for-food scandal, meets today in Sydney to discuss how to carry out its mission.
   It has been given until the end of March to consult with growers and the wheat industry about how the export system should operate.
   That followed the Government's decision to give export licences to companies other than AWB to sell part of this season's crop overseas.
   Committee member and former National Farmers Federation president Peter Corish said it was obvious the views of WA farmers would be important.
   "WA is a very important part, and while the committee has yet to meet, I can certainly assure growers that we will be taking a key interest in the concerns of WA growers," he said.
   Mr Corish said the committee, which includes former Woolworths chief executive Roger Corbett, former NAB agribusiness general manager Mike Carroll and former Telstra deputy chairman John Ralph, would listen to the views of exporters such as AWB and CBH.
http://www.multiline.com.au/~johnm/australia/austchron1.htm#wafarmers
   [COMMENT: Farmers' opinions will not be taken by a vote, but by a report written partly by non-farmers! – A grocer, a banker, and a Telstra man!  During the Great Depression of 1926-41, Australian farmers and politicians set up a system to stop global corporations reaping more of the profits from their crops than the growers, while the Soviet Union starved Ukrainians to death and exported their wheat, thus causing prices to collapse.  Are the present-day primary producers going to be fooled into allowing Big Business to listen to Big Business, and then to tell growers what growers are thinking?  COMMENT ENDS.]

FAT PAYOUTS

 
   The West Australian, p 4, Thursday, January 18, 2007
   AUSTRALIA:
ANDREW LINDBERG, Executive director.  Payout: $3.025 million. Cole Inquiry found: "Mr Lindberg was not well served by some of those who reported to him, and on whom he relied. He has paid a very considerable price in reputational and no doubt monetary terms." Justice Cole found him not guilty of any criminal conduct
PAUL INGLEBY, Chief financial officer.  Payout: $964,506. Cole Inquiry found: "By approving the process or mechanism for payment by AWB of fees to an Iraqi entity through third parties, Mr Ingleby facilitated the making of those payments." Facing possible charges
PETER GEARY, General manager, trading.  Payout: $572,466. Cole Inquiry found: "He prevaricated in his evidence, declined to address questions put to him and obfuscated. I am not able to accept him as a frank truthful witness, nor can I accept that he had little knowledge as he said." Facing possible charges
CHARLES STOTT, General manager, international sales.  Payout: $1.364 million. Cole Inquiry found: "I am satisfied that he knew (trucking) fees were not UN approved, were being paid by AWB to Iraq via Alia, and were not being used, at least in major part, for transportation of wheat." Facing possible charges
JIM COOPER, AWB General counsel.  Payout $643,092. Cole Inquiry found: "It is a serious matter for an officer of a public corporation to knowingly provide materially misleading information in relation to the affairs of the corporation to a director of the corporation." Facing possible charges
http://www.multiline.com.au/~johnm/australia/austchron1.htm#fat
   [COMMENT: What other exporters pay for TRANSPORTATION of the product, INSIDE the importing country?  Even under the United Nations "oil for food" programme, surely the transport of the wheat inside Iraq was a UNITED NATIONS responsibility, not that of the producing country?  Some of these executives, and the Australian Cabinet, had been warned of the illegalities a few years ago.  COMMENT ENDS.] [Jan 18, 07]

   26th February, 1974: Michael Hand meets Bob Jones in Wellington to implement plans for the CIA's new spying operation - countries targeted include France, Chile, West Germany and Israel.
   Using the Brierly/Jones Investment funnel, Jones buys building in Willeston Street which will be rented to France and Chile, another at Plimmer Steps to house West Germany and Israel.
   CIA will set up eavesdropping communications centre inside the Willeston Street building and another at 163 The Terrace which will link with equipment installed in the Plimmer Steps building. Four CIA technicians will run the whole operation.
   April 1974: Finance Minister Rowling appoints Ron Trotter to the Overseas Investment Commission, whose chairman, G. Lau, is also a member of the Todd Foundation (Shell/BP/Todd) investment board.
Whitlam and Kirk
   Mid-1974: Gough Whitlam and Norman Kirk begin a series of moves absolutely against the Mafia Trilateralists. Whitlam refuses to waive restrictions on overseas borrowings to finance Alwest Aluminium Consortium of Rupert Murdoch, BHP and R.J. Reynolds. Whitlam had also ended Vietnam War support, blocked uranium mining and wanted more control over US secret spy bases - e.g. Pine Gap.
   Kirk had introduced a new, tough Anti-Monopoly Bill and had tried to redistribute income from big companies to the labour force through price regulation and a wages policy.
   Kirk had also rejected plans to build a second aluminium smelter near Dunedin and was preparing the Petroleum Amendment Bill to give more control over New Zealand oil resources.
   Kirk had found out that Hunt Petroleum, drilling in the Great South Basin, had discovered a huge resource of oil comparable in size to the North Sea or Alaskan North Slope. Gas reserves alone now estimated at 30 times bigger than Kapuni and oil reserves of at least 20 billion barrels - enough for New Zealand to be self-sufficient for years.
   Oil companies completely hushed up these facts. To have announced a vast new oil source would probably mean a decline in world oil prices, which would not have allowed OPEC and Onassis plans for the Arabs to eventuate. N.Z. could be exploited at a later date, particularly since the North Sea operations were about to come on stream - Kirk was the last to hold out.
   September, 1974: According to CIA sources, Kirk was killed by the Trilateralists using Sodium Morphate. Rowling's first act as NZ Prime Minister was to withdraw Kirk's Anti-Monopoly Bill and the Petroleum Amendment Bill.
   Later, Rowling was to be rewarded with ambassadorship to Washington. Incidentally, the Shah of Iran was murdered the same way as Kirk on his arrival in the US.
   6th October, 1974: Ray Cline implements William Colby plan to oust Australian Prime Minister Whitlam. Nugan Hand Bank finances payoffs to Malcolm Fraser and other pro-US politicians. A joint bugging operation commences between CIA and ASIA.
   Rupert Murdoch, playing his part, uses his newspapers and television network to spread lies and misinformation. Whitlam, as well as refusing to waive restrictions on overseas borrowing to finance the aluminium consortium, had plans to ensure that all corporations were at least 50% Australian-owned. This interfered with the Seven Sisters' plans to build three oil refineries at Cape Northumberland in South Australia to exploit the Great South Basin discovery.
   December, 1974: Australian Governor-General John Kerr joins Ray Cline's payroll and received his first pay-off of $US200,000 credited to his account number 767748 at the Singapore branch of the Nugan Hand Bank.
   11th November, 1975: Governor-General Kerr sacks the Whitlam Government.
   August 1975: Rowling re-introduces unrecognizable Commerce Bill, designed to aid monopolization of the NZ economy and repeals the News Media Ownership Act, allowing more foreign ownership of NZ media. The new legislation does not define monopoly, competition or stipulate permissible maximum market share, or even ascertain what the public interest is - resulting in a sell-out to big business.
   December, 1975: Election battle between Rowling and Muldoon. Oil companies pour thousands of dollars into Muldoon's campaign via National Bank (NZ), whose general manager Mowbray is also a member of Todd Foundations; Investment Board Director Tudhope also Managing Director Shell Oil and Chairman Shell/BP/Todd. Muldoon wins.
   February, 1976: Muldoon implements pre-election secret agreement with the NZ Seven Sisters' oil representatives of Shell/BP/Todd for helping finance the National Party campaign.
   Muldoon removes the $3 per barrel oil levy for the New Zealand Refining Company, which increases the oil companies' profits by 100% at the taxpayers' expense and with all future oil prospecting licenses, the Government has the option to take 51% of any discovery without meeting exploration costs. This is designed to discourage further exploration, thereby keeping the lid on the Great South Basin discovery.
   Meanwhile, in Australia, new P.M. Malcolm Fraser reopens uranium mining and opens the way for takeover of mineral resources with big tax breaks for oil exploration, coal and mining.
   Muldoon returns a favor to the oil companies by arranging $US200 million loan for Maui Gas Development for Shell/BP/Todd.
   September, 1976: With captive politicians in place in both Australia and New Zealand, the Internationalists can now proceed with their strategy of takeover of the economy and exploitation of natural resources.
   "In New Zealand, the elimination of unnecessary competition is fundamental to a sound economy," Brierly says.
   Parksy and Colby use Brierly/Jones Investments as a vehicle to buy into A.B. Consolidated Holdings in New Zealand.
   Associate of R. Jones, Pat Goodman, is appointed 'consultant' of Australasian and Pacific Holdings.
   November, 1976: The Internationalists (Mafia) set up a NZ money 'funnel' using Brierley's City Realties. National Insurance Co acquires 33% of the stock. Largest stockholders in National Insurance are the US Firemen's Fund - Chairman and President Myron Du Bain also Vice Chairman of American Express (Amex). Chairman of I.E.L. linked International Harvester, Archie McCardell, also Amex Director. Amex linked with Chase Manhattan and seven Sisters' Texaco and Mobil. Du Bain also Director of CIA-linked United California Bank, which is a partner in Commercial Pacific Trust.
   To complete the money funnel, National Insurance becomes a stockholder in Chase Manhattan's Chase-NBA. Brierley's declared assets reach $100 million, with shareholder's capital of only $2.5 million - all cash acquisitions.
   3rd February, 1977: Parksy and Colby close down the Brierley/Jones Investment funnel and open up separate channels for Brierley and Jones.

   * Reason: Hunt did not possess the technology to pump oil from deep water; Gulf possessed the technology but did not tell Hunt. Arco was not told anything and were swindled out of its 6.5% concession.
   November, 1977: Muldoon introduces the S.I.S Amendment Bill, designed to keep the economy free of obstruction and to help uncover obstructive elements. Telephone taps, mail tampering and other surveillance methods approved after CIA input on contents of legislation.

Larkin (Rockwell Director, also Chairman, Executive Committee Security Pacific National Bank and Director of Marac).
   April, 1978: Muldoon sets up Petrocorp. New Zealand taxpayers pay for the exploration costs but the oil companies control all distribution outlets.

   Mid- 1979: Gulf Oil using its man Brierley, begins operations designed to capture key sectors of the economy. A.B Consolidated restructured into the Goodman Group and Goodman to run operations but with the majority of the stock held by IEL and Brierley using Shell companies plus dummy corporations.
   * Strategy: To take over food and produce resources, Brierley and Fletcher restructured a small private company, H.W. Smith, using Cyril Smith as Chairman but with key executives Judge, Collins and McKenzie. Bob Jones helps.
   Private company used, as no Commerce Commission control, accounts not published, no public disclosure of transactions. Bunting is established as a shell company and the South Island is targeted for asset-stripping and takeover, as well as key sectors of the automobile industry.
   Unlimited funds channeled through City Realties, NZUC and Marac extends Travelodge operations by buying control of Transholdings, which has strategic holdings in Vacation Hotels and Tourist Corp. Fiji Holdings.

   October, 1979: BP Oil begins $100 million joint venture deal with Fletcher and Trotter at Tasman.
   Muldoon makes secret deal with oil companies which effectively robs New Zealand taxpayers by giving Shell/BP/Todd the Maui Gas deal.

Also, Shell/BP/Todd pays no tax on Kapuni profits, while putting funds into Maui development.
   19th November, 1979: Secret meeting in Auckland between Muldoon, Fletcher and Trotter to transfer 43% Tasman Pulp and Paper held by New Zealand Government to Challenge Corporation (Chairman Trotter) and Fletchers. Tasman has lucrative 75-year contract for cheap timber signed in 1955.

   27th November, 1979: Gerald Parsky's lieutenant, David Kennedy, meets Muldoon to deliver $US100,000 cash to Muldoon for implementing the Internationalists' Mafia Think Big plans.
   These plans began with big contracts and guaranteed profits for the Seven Sisters, Bechtel, Mitsubishi, Mitsui, Nippon Steel, Internationalists' Mafia banks.
   With the experimental petroleum plant, the oil price has to be $50/barrel to be profitable, yet Mobil's profits are guaranteed.
   New Zealand Steel is to be expanded 500%, even though there was a global steel glut of 50%.
   Fletchers own 10% of New Zealand Steel and are majority stockholders in Pacific Steel and control monopoly over wire rod, reinforcing steel. Also, New Zealand taxpayers subsidize Fletchers' profits.
   Muldoon introduces the National Development Bill with 'fast-track' legislation, to keep the economy 'free of obstruction' for long-term monopolization. C.E.R. plan introduced, designed to integrate the economies of Australia and New Zealand with the Trilateral Commission for the purpose of exploiting the South Pacific countries and as a 'back-door' entrance into China - the world's largest untapped consumer market. New Zealand is also the closest country to Antarctica, which has a vast mineral resource for future exploitation.
   "Think Big" projects begin, even though Muldoon aware of studies that show New Zealand could conserve up to 40% of energy consumption using existing technology, which would mean funds could be invested elsewhere to lower consumer prices, lower inflation rates, less demand for imported oil and increased employment by creating new industry to manufacture and install energy-saving technology. None of these options seriously considered as all would lessen profits for members of the Rockefeller organizations.
   December 1979: Muldoon unveils 'stage two' of a four-stage plan to exploit the Great South Basin discovery. Plan prepared by Trilateralist 'Think Tank' - the Brookings Institute.
   'Stage Two' includes methanol plant and synthetic petrol plant, which would initially use gas from the Maui field and later would link with underwater gas pipe from Campbell Island.

   May, 1980: Mafia's Nugan Hand banking operation crashes after Frank Nugan killed. Death ruled as suicide even though no fingerprints found on the rifle. Maloney, Houghton, Yates and Hand shred important documents, but miss some. CIA helps Hand and Bank President Donald Beasley escape to the U.S. The CIA and Australian Security Intelligence Organization cover everything up. Beazley appointed President of Miami City National Bank, run by Alberto Dugue for 'laundering' profits from the CIA Colombian cocaine operation.
   There is a probability that Michael Hand killed Frank Nugan because of his involvement with Hand's fiancée.
   25th May, 1980: Colby arrived in Australia to discuss replacement of the Nugan Hand Bank with Hand, Brierley, and Seldon. Immediate funding available from Sydney branch of the Deak Bank, a separate CIA operation, and IEL would be used to buy NZI Corp., to prepare for future laundering operations.
   Maloney, Houghton, Yates, and Hand would shred all documents leading back to the New Zealand Great South Basin connection, and the CIA would help Hand and Bank President Donald Beazley escape to the USA. The CIA and ASIO would also cover everything up.
   Hand and Beazley turn up in Miami - Beazley appointed President and Hand 'consultant' to the Miami City National Bank, but also Hand turned up in El Salvador to help organize bankrolling of the Contras with other ex- members of Nugan-Hand.

   New Zealand Party was formed to ensure that Muldoon would lose, as Big Business unhappy with controls over economy. Big campaign contributions from Brierley, the oil companies and the Business Round Table ensure a Labour victory.
   Later, Lange agrees to repay the favor to Brierley by selling the Government holding in the Kariori Pulp Mill to Winstones. New Zealand taxpayer loses $100 million.
   Government then becomes the arm of big business, using economic policies provided by the Business Round Table, implemented by Finance Minister Roger Douglas and the package being sold by David Lange, who also keeps up a noisy CIA directed ANZUS withdrawal campaign.

All are members of the Rockefeller World Government organization.
   18th July, 1985:
   Australian Mafia meet in Sydney to discuss privatization of the Australian Government. Those present include: Brierley Trotter Fletcher Seldon Goodman Papps Packer Bond Elliott Adler Japanese Trilateralist Daigo Miyado
   Cline will set up Australian Centre for Independent Studies to 'advise' the Treasurer on the takeover of the economy. Impala Pacific will be set up in Hong Kong through Ariadne with 60% of the company stock held by Chase Manhattan and Security Pacific National Bank in Australia. In the UK, Tozer, Kemsly & Millbourn would be taken over using IEP, while in Australia, the Holme's A'Court Bell Group would be used to merge with Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank, through Standard & Chartered Bank (Hong Kong), and Marae (NZ) Broadlands (Aust) would merge with NZI Corporation.
   18th August, 1985: Cline and 6-man CIA team begin installation of subliminal television equipment in Sydney, Brisbane and Perth.
   8th November 1985: Parsky, Colby and J.D Rockefeller meet in New York to discuss their plans to assassinate McCloy and the Rockefellers and to take control of the Mafia organization.
   Colby would organize a 8-man 'hit squad' to be headed by Gordon Liddy who had worked for Colby in the 1960's as a CIA contract killer, and was responsible for over 10 murders including:
17/8/61 - two members of the Gambino Mafia family in New York
24/11/63 - Officer Tippitt after the Kennedy assassination in Dallas
18/12/63 - witness to the Kennedy assassination in Dallas
19/4/65 - Politician in Chicago
27/7/65 - Politician in Washington
8/9/65 - Politician in Washington
27/11/66 - US 'independent' cocaine importer, in Mexico
25/11/67 - 'Independent' heroin importer, in Los Angeles
9/2/69 - Politician in Washington
   28th November 1985: Australian Mafia meet in Sydney - includes: Trotter Fletcher Hawkins Bond Elliott Adler Holme's A'Court
   Discussed strategy for merger of Goodman, Allied Mills, Fielde Gillespie Davis, Watties and Elders with Chase Manhattan Bank taking 20%, Elders and IEL 10%, with stock being held through Chase-AMP Bank.
   Elders would be used as major 'vehicle' in the global liquor economy with Courage Brewery in the UK to be used as entry into Europe.
   Strategy finalized to take over BHP, Australia's largest company, using Holme's A'Court, Brierley, Elliott and Hawkins.
   In London, Chase Manhattan would takeover stockbrokers Simon & Coates who specialize in Australasia Mafia owned companies such as Fletcher Challenge, Brierley, NZI Corp, Elders, Bell Group and BHP. Chase Manhattan could then issue and buy stock to manipulate the Australasian economy by increasing price, paying no taxes, creating inflation, and enslaving the people through debt to Mafia controlled banks.
   Parsky would oversee the 'launder' of further loans to the NZ Government and would begin to channel 'loans' through the Australian Treasury using captive politician Keating. Also NZ Government building would be sold to Jones and Australia Government buildings would be sold to Adler which would then be rented back to the respective Governments at inflated prices.
   17th November 1986: Brierley, Seldon, Packer, Bond, Elliott, Holmes, Court and Adler meet in Sydney. Also present is Rupert Murdoch to assist in Parsky strategy of media takeover in Australasia and the Pacific using Packer and Bond (TV and Radio) Brierley and Holmes A'Court (newspapers).
   Murdoch takes orders from Brzezinski since his News Corp was taken over in 1982 by Chase Manhattan and Security Pacific National Bank.
   At a separate meeting with Brierley, Seldon and Cline, Parsky outlines plan for 'key' Media Australasian Holding company using the Bell Group which would be taken over by with Chase Manhattan holding 27.5% in London and the US. Another 10% of the stock would be held through Security Pacific National Bank (US).
   8th February 1987: US Mafia Council meet in Washington - including David Rockefeller, John McCloy, Brzezinski, Parsky, Simon, Katherine Graham, and George Franklin.
   Brzezinski outlines plans to invade Iran using 75,000 strong mercenary army supported by US Air Force and Navy with starting date of 8th February, 1988. An integral part of the plan Saudi and Kuwaiti oil tankers would fly the US flag to provoke an Iranian attack so that US invasion of Iran would be 'justified'.
   * Reason: The Seven Sisters wanted to exploit a secret oil field near Bandar Abbas discovered in 1976 with estimate 150 billion barrels and also a huge gold source at Neyshabur discovered in 1977.
   The Iranian invasion would begin after the World economic system was collapsed by the Mafia controlled banks - target date 17th January 1988. Other countries on the takeover list include:
Mexico - for oil at Baisas
Nicaragua - for oil at Connto
Colombia - for gold at Popayan
South Korea - for gold at Chunchon
New Zealand - for oil in the Great South Basin.
   (Obviously this part of the plan failed to happen) #

RECENT AUSTRALIAN ECONOMIC TRENDS

 
   Recent Australian Economic Trends, www.nw.com. au/~keane/ civilrep , By David Keane, keane@nw. com.au Western Australia, January 26, 2007
   AUSTRALIA: From April 2002, I have been producing analyses every three months, and sending these assessments out in a quarterly publication Recent Australian Economic Trends which is available by email to anyone contacting me and requesting to be placed upon the email distribution list.
   Any assessment of Australian financial management and bank regulatory policy, must begin with an assessment of the current state of Australia's financial affairs. In particular, it is vital that we analyse such significant national financial indicators as Gross Domestic Product, Gross Foreign Equity, Gross Foreign Debt, Gross Foreign Liabilities, Domestic Credit, and Total Australian Liabilities. Figures for these data are available on Internet at the website for the Reserve Bank of Australia ( http://www. rba.gov.au/ statistics/ ). In this article, I have taken June data from June 1988 to June 2003, and quarterly data from June 2004. You can confirm these data by looking up Gross Foreign Debt, Gross Foreign Equity and Gross Foreign Liabilities on Reserve Bank table H4, seasonally adjusted Domestic Credit on table D2, and Gross National Product on table G10.
   These figures are provided by the Australian Reserve Bank every quarter, now 3 months late. On 20/December/06, the Australian Reserve Bank published the September 2006 figures for table H4, and so now we have available all the information for all these statistical categories up until the end of September 2006.
   I simply rearrange the Reserve Bank figures which helps with comparison and trend analysis, and so it can be easily understood by the lay person. I add together the figures for Gross Foreign Equity, Gross Foreign Debt and Domestic Credit to come up with an overall figure of "Total Australian Liabilities".
   In the analysis released in September 2004, the yearly increase in Total Australian Liabilities for the first time exceeded 25% of the Australian Gross Domestic Product. The level of Australian liabilities is now blowing out in a very dangerous and volatile manner. This, together with the serious concern about the collapsing US economy, led me to title the September 2004 edition, the "Double Alarm Bells Edition". We have clearly entered the end stage of our society's experiment with a debt driven economy. These three-monthly analyses therefore take on a brand new significance, as they tend to forecast turbulent weather ahead, much in the manner of a barometer.
Table A
   In Table A, the "Date" refers to quarterly figures provided by the Reserve Bank.
   "F Equity" refers to total Gross Foreign Equity (foreign ownership of Australian assets).
   "F Debt" refers to total Gross Foreign Debt.
   "F Liabilities" refers to Gross Foreign Liabilities = Gross Foreign Equity + Gross Foreign Debt.
   "saDomCr" refers to seasonally adjusted Domestic Credit.
   "TotalLiab" refers to Total Australian Liabilities = Gross Foreign Equity + Gross Foreign Debt + Domestic Credit.

A New Rate of Increase of Indebtedness
   Total Australian Liabilities has risen by 35.6% of GDP in just one year. Or if we look at only the last quarter, Total Australian Liabilities has risen by 4 x 9.1% = 36.4% of GDP projected for a year. Either way, we have set a new record for these figures. The trend is alarming, depicting an exponentially increasing series of data.
   The trend is unsustainable and a huge crash is imminent in the future. I will not provide an analysis of the situation in this newsletter, preferring to do forward research so to publish a greatly in-depth analysis next newsletter.
   Yours for a truly sharing economy, David Keane

[Whisson invention:  Getting moisture by wind from the air]

42   THE WEEKEND AUSTRALIAN MAGAZINE   JANUARY 27-28 2007

PHILLIP ADAMS:  While we watch our
dams dry, our rivers die, our lakes
and groundwater disappear, Max
has come up with a brilliant idea.

 
For all sorts of personal and political reasons, Max Whisson is one of my most valued friends. We first made contact at the beginning of the AIDS epidemic, when this most ethical of men was a principal guardian of our Red Cross blood supply. More recently he's been applying his considerable scientific skills to the flow of another precious fluid. Water.
   Does this country face a more urgent issue? Will the world have a greater problem? While we watch our dams dry, our rivers die, our lakes and groundwater disappear, while we worry about the financial and environmental costs of desalination and the melting of the glaciers and the icecaps, Max has come up with a brilliant and very simple idea.
   It involves getting water out of the air. And he's not talking about cloud-seeding for rain. Indeed, he just might have come up with a way of ending our ancient dependence on rain, that increasingly unreliable source. And that's not all. As well as the apparently empty air providing us with limitless supplies of water, Max has devised a way of making the same "empty" air provide the power for the process. I've been to his lab in Western Australia. I've seen how it works.
   There's a lot of water in the air. It rises from the surface of the oceans to a height of almost 100 kilometres. You feel it in high humidity, but there's almost as much invisible moisture in the air above the Sahara or the Nullarbor as there is in the steamy tropics. The water that pools beneath an air-conditioned car, or in the tray under an old fridge, demonstrates the principle: cool the air and you get water. And no matter how much water we might take from the air, we'd never run out. Because the oceans would immediately replace it.
   Trouble is, refrigerating air is a very costly business. Except when you do it Max's way, with the Whisson windmill. Until his inventions are protected by international patents, I'm not going to give details. Max isn't interested in profits - he just wants to save the world - but the technology remains "commercial in confidence" to protect his small band of investors and to encourage others.
   In essence, windmills haven't changed in many centuries. The great propellers producing electricity on modern wind farms are direct descendants of the rusty galvo blades that creak on our farm's windmills - and the vanes that lifted Don Quixote from his saddle.
   Usually a windmill has three blades facing into the wind. But Whisson's design has many blades, each as aerodynamic as an aircraft wing, and each employing "lift" to get the device spinning. I've watched them whirr into action in Whisson's wind tunnel at the most minimal settings. They start spinning long, long before a conventional windmill would begin to respond. I saw them come alive when a colleague opened an internal door.
   And I forgot something. They don't face into the wind like a conventional windmill; they're arranged vertically, within an elegant column, and take the wind from any direction.
   The secret of Max's design is how his windmills, whirring away in the merest hint of a wind, cool the air as it passes by. Like many a great idea, it couldn't be simpler - or more obvious. But nobody thought of it before.
   With three or four of Max's magical machines on hills at our farm we could fill the tanks and troughs, and weather the drought. One small Whisson windmill on the roof of a suburban house could keep your taps flowing. Biggies on office buildings, whoppers on skyscrapers, could give independence from the city's water supply. And plonk a few hundred in marginal outback land - specifically to water tree-lots - and you could start to improve local rainfall.
   This is just one of Whisson's ways to give the world clean water. Another, described in this column a few years back, would channel seawater to inland communities; a brilliant system of solar distillation and desalination would produce fresh water en route. All the way from the sea to the ultimate destination, fresh water would be produced by the sun. The large-scale investment for this hasn't been forthcoming - but the "water from air" technology already exists. And works.
   If you're interested, email me at PhillipAdamsl@bigpond.com . After some filtering I'll pass the messages on to Max, particularly if you have a few million to invest. Better still, you may be the Premier of Western Australia or the Prime Minister of a drought-afflicted country suddenly expressing concerns about climate change. In that case, I'll give you Max's phone number.
   Australia needs a few Whissons at the moment - and the Whissons need some initial government funding to get their ideas off the ground. For the price of one of John Howard's crappy nuclear reactors, Max might be able to solve a few problems. Ours and the world's. ◎

Ex-Guantanamo inmate to run in Australia election

 
  Reuters UK, http://uk. reuters.com/ article/ worldNews/ idUKSYD8530 420070202 , By Andrew Cleary, 7:52AM GMT, Fri Feb 2, 2007
   SYDNEY (Reuters) - An Australian once detained in Guantanamo Bay on suspicion of helping al Qaeda said on Friday he would stand for election to the New South Wales state parliament.
   Mamdouh Habib, released in January 2005, was held in Guantanamo Bay without charge for almost three years after he was arrested crossing from Pakistan into Afghanistan three weeks after the September 11 attacks on the United States.
   "We're here in Australia, this has nothing to do with Afghanistan," Habib told a news conference in Sydney called to announce he would run as an independent in the March 24 contest.
   "This has nothing to do with terrorism -- we have no terrorists in Australia. If you want to talk about terror then talk to the U.S.," he said.
   Habib's candidacy comes as the gulf widens between Australia's small, mainly Sunni, Muslim community of some 280,000 people and the rest of the country, leaving many Muslims feeling besieged and trapped between two cultures.
   Anti-Muslim sentiment has been inflamed by Sheikh Taj El-Din Hilaly, the mufti of Australia's biggest mosque, who has compared unveiled women to "uncovered meat" and said Muslim Australians had more right to the country than people descended from convicts.
   Habib denied his views were extreme. He said he was standing to fight against racist attacks on minority ethnic groups including Muslim Australians, Aborigines and migrants, and to take care of the community in which he lived. Continued...

• [Sheik's outburst; Amanda Vanstone says Islamist "free to go," then followed her surprise dismissal.]  Australia flag; www.flagaustnat.asn.au/ 

Sheik's outburst more than once is enough!

 
   News Weekly (Australia), by Dr Christopher J. Ward, National Affairs, pp 7-8, February 3, 2007
   Australia's firebrand Islamic cleric Sheik al-Hilaly has resumed his attack on Australian culture and values. Given that the sheik's fundamentalist Islamic views enjoy a considerable following, social scientist Dr Christopher J. Ward asks: to what extent can a democratic country permit what is effectively a hostile counterculture to exist unchecked in its midst?
Australia's top Muslim cleric - the "grand mufti" of Australia, Sheik Taj al-Din al-Hilaly - has done it again. He has proved quite conclusively that he has learned nothing from his inappropriate remarks demeaning Australian women as "uncovered meat" in October 2006.
   Neither his self-proclaimed exile nor taping his mouth has stopped him from appearing on Egyptian television to once again denigrate this country, criticising Australian law, culture and values, although one is sorely tempted to agree with him about certain practices that are anathema to some Christians as well as Muslims. However, the disdain that he showed for Australia in describing this country as peopled by descendents of English convicts, and claiming that Muslims had more right to live here as they had paid their fares, is beyond the pale.
   Islamic fundamentalism
   It was also informative that the sheik made these comments on an Egyptian current affairs program, while "explaining" the gaffes of last year. He visits that country frequently and it is only reasonable to point out that it is home to the notorious Muslim Brotherhood, the umbrella organisation for Islamic fundamentalist terrorist groups, especially Jamaat al-Islamiyya and the Egyptian Islamic Jihad, both of which have ties to al Qaeda.
   While not for one minute suggesting that the sheik is a member of either group, his theology is very much in their tradition and he has a long, documented record of inflammatory statements since arriving in Australia. In 2004, he was reported as stating that the 9/11 attacks on New York's World Trade Center were "God's work against the aggressor", and has appeared to support suicide-bombers. Hence the current criticism from a number of Australian Islamic groups and individuals is as welcome as it is unexpected.
   As usual when al-Hilaly manages to shoot from the lip, his old colleague and erstwhile translator Keysar Trad, president of the so-called Islamic Friendship Association, was quick off the mark, stating that the comments appeared to be a "slip of the tongue".
   "I don't believe that he intended to take a swipe at Australian society. I got the impression that he was trying to justify living here to a person that was probing him... Those offensive remarks were made when the interviewer challenged him...
   "He was about to explain why he stays here despite all the controversy." (The Australian, January 13, 2006 [or 2007 ?]).
   It is noteworthy that this time "Trad the Translator" actually remarked that the mufti's words were offensive - surely a first.
   Not unsurprisingly, the sheik has once again claimed that the remarks in Egypt have been taken out of context and, predictably, Keysar Trad has again supported the "grand mufti", although Sheik al-Hilaly it must be said that quite a number of prominent Australian Muslims have said that enough is enough - he is an embarrassment to their community.
   Political reaction was quite interesting. The Prime Minister John Howard's first reaction, when he emerged briefly from his well-earned holiday, was somewhat muted: he described al-Hilaly as "a growing embarrassment to his community". Opposition leader Kevin Rudd was quoted as saying that al-Hilaly was "several sandwiches short of a picnic".
   Again, according to The Australian, Acting Prime Minister Mark Vaile took the view that there was nothing new about the brouhaha. "Obviously, they [the sheik's words] were totally inappropriate, as we've come to expect from Sheik Hilaly," he said. "You would ask yourself a question: 'Why does an individual live in a country where he doesn't agree with the laws of the land?' "  And indeed that is a question that should rightly be asked.
   Perhaps the Minister for Immigration, Senator Amanda Vanstone, who has been criticised of late, deserves plaudits for being one of the first to condemn al-Hilaly's words. In a pointed statement, she said: "Australians can be forgiven for questioning how seriously Sheik Hilaly takes his citizenship pledge to Australia and its people, a pledge that he shared Australia's democratic beliefs and he respected our rights and liberties."
   She added: "I remind Sheik Hilaly that if he doesn't like Australia, our heritage or our way of life, he doesn't have to come back."
   Despite significant and welcome criticism from within the Muslim community, including Kuranda Seyit, executive director of the Forum on Australia's Islamic Relations, and Waleed Aly, media spokesman for the Islamic Council of Victoria, there is little doubt that condemnation of the sheik across the board is tantamount to flogging him with a limp lettuce-leaf and will have about the same effect. Surely it is time that a new look is taken at the elements within the Islamic diaspora in this country.
   Once again, the question has to be asked: "To what extent can a democratic country permit what is effectively a hostile counterculture to exist unchecked in its midst?" Let there be no doubt that fundamentalist Islam constitutes such a counterculture.
   As in most Western countries, a proportion of fundamentalist Muslims in Australia crave Sharia law. They are by no means a majority but overseas research, especially in the United Kingdom, consistently suggests that about 40 per cent of a given Islamic community is likely to feel that way.
   Social research conducted in the UK also indicates that the majority of that 40 per cent are likely to be from a low socio-economic background and face difficulty in securing employment. However, a segment of fundamentalists are well-educated and, unlike the previous group, appear to be assimilated. As the bombings in London in 2005 proved, attacks were found more likely to be carried out by educated fanatics.
   A colleague of mine is famous, or notorious, for abhorring uncritical cross-cultural transfer of research results. However, it must be said that the UK is a comparable society to Australia in many respects. After all, we share a common heritage; more or less adhere to Judeo-Christian ethics; and are globalising societies, which welcome migrants.
   A problem arises when any migrant community achieves what could be described as a critical mass - that is, a sufficient number to practise their own cultural rites and follow their own mores arid values, without necessarily being dependent on society as a whole.
   For example, in 1970, ABC television's current affairs program Four Corners ran a documentary on Greek migrants in Victoria, working on the assembly lines at General Motors Holden in Dandenong.
   There was criticism that so few spoke English. One worker summed up what was probably the majority view, through a translator: "I speak Greek at home; have fun at the Greek club; worship at the Greek Orthodox Church and all my mates on the assembly line are Greek. Why should I learn to speak English?"
   Why, indeed, especially when we were becoming a multicultural country?
   The dividing line in this instance is that Greek immigrants basically followed in the European tradition and the Orthodox religion.  Their folkways, like so many European migrant groups, were able to be sustained without conflict with the host culture.
   However, many Muslim immigrants find it extremely difficult to become involved in everyday life, have problems with the English language and become effectively "ghettoised".
