China has been an important tool of the Globalists, used to destroy national industries and economies and render these vulnerable to IMF and BIS interventions.
More especially, it has been used to pauperise one-half of Americans and Australians; and to militate against Australia’s capacity to once again become self-sufficient; the only nation endowed with a full complement of natural resources and therefore the biggest threat to the globalisation programme.
The Wall Street programme of neo-colonialism was expedited by the Global Financial Crisis of 2008 but rather than penalise investment bank manipulators, government’s forced taxpayers to subsidise this home and savings piracy.
Irritatingly, the pseudo-intelligentsia (who delude themselves they are the governing class), instead of condemning China’s central role in destroying industry and full-time jobs, continue to point to China as a robust bulwark against global economic collapse. Their outrageous interpretations of events, kept purist free trade orientated by Rupert Murdoch’s malignant influence on Australian media freedom, has left the wider community either confused or sullenly silent.
The impact of Covid-19 has highlighted Australia’s vulnerability to trade blackmail and sanctions, causing many former captains of industry to join contemporary leaders in commerce, in a call for the restoration of protective tariffs.
That Murdoch’s Media immediately inflicted a blackout of such conversation provoked a furious Kevin Rudd to launch a petition to Canberra to end the media monopoly and outlaw foreigner Murdoch from Australian publishing. Unsurprisingly, the media has largely ignored his call.
The narrative bounced back into the jointly-owned Journalist and Academia court, featuring China as the only player in town.
Consequently, any analysis of Australia’s economic status and prospects would be meaningless without at least brief reference to China’s real potential for regional or global domination.
Although I stand resolutely by the content of previous articles on Australian politics, this section is more an exercise in joining what is still an incomplete pattern of dots, and with more yet to appear. This is not an exercise in crystal ball gazing, but neither is it an extrapolation based on hard evidence; but more something in between… an exercise in logic, esoteric information, and common sense.
It is hoped that readers will rise to the challenge and make more accurate projections as evidence comes to hand. We will all benefit from such a debate, but most especially the ordinary citizens of the US, Canada, and Australia need the truth for there to be any hope for economic redemption.
For Australians, this story is also needed to highlight the urgency of restoring tariffs and once again becoming economically self-sufficient. To not do so will allow this nation to collapse back into the equivalent of 1937.
Scholars who have deigned to plunge into this defiantly unscholarly paper will demand to know how I obtained my information about China’s dynastic ambitions. Some have berated me already. Where are the documents? Who said what? And when?
The truth is, emanating from compulsively secretive China, there can be no secret documents; and my original sources were ordinary Chinese immigrants in Australia. My methodology for probing their inscrutable Sino-esoterica was admittedly somewhat less than sophisticated, yet was nevertheless a historically respected intelligence seeking technique. I got them pissed… and, typically red-faced, they talked, and they talked.
I wrote the original article on China in February 2010 and, since then, additional evidence has only reinforced my original conclusions. This is really an exercise in demonstrating how easy it is to read history in advance. You don’t have to be a genius, just a deep-digging realist.
And, dear reader, by all means, regard the following as entertainment.
*
As they flounder to remain occupationally buoyant in the thirteen-year wake of the global financial meltdown, classical economists and academics cling grimly to the only debris still floating, a shard of propaganda that reads China will save the world.
While it is true that the Chinese economy remains strong, real economic growth as published, is in fact slowing if one takes into account the rising socio-economic costs that are being bulldozed into the future. These include:
- The millions of children orphaned by the rural exodus;
- The overcapitalisation of investor housing held vacant;
- The geopolitical cost of meeting future water demand by damming several of the world’s biggest rivers, which will cause famine and disease in a dozen neighbouring countries; and,
And nobody has grappled convincingly with how China can deal with massive unrepayable American debt. No doubt China can ride that sea out, but wave upon wave of American bankruptcies and unemployment since 2008, soon to be exacerbated by commercial real estate collapse, has undermined China’s long-term economic plan.
Inexplicably, nobody understood that an industrial export economy based on low production overheads (cheap labour) would undermine the capacity of trader nations to purchase said items (i.e., massive unemployment).
Once this was understood, vengeful knives were plunged into Deng and he was replaced with Comrade Xi, who was less comrade than prospective Emperor Xi.
Ironically, Xi fully understood that free trade only really benefited the top dog in the long run, so he designed trade policy that trades only to weaken adversaries by creating dependence on foreign imports, then incrementally introducing tariffs and sanctions, ostensibly to “protect the Sino-economy”.
Ergo, once a trading nation has reconstructed its economy around imported manufactured goods, China has only to pull the lynchpin on exports and concomitant import of raw goods (i.e. ores and crude oil) and that nation’s economy seriously falters or collapses altogether. Thus, old-school expensive military expansionism is superseded by profitable migrant colonialism in conjunction with trade wars.
But we are getting ahead of ourselves.
For the subtle cross-cultural nuance of these events to be truly appreciated, motivational developments need to be presented in a macro-historical perspective.
Enter the Final and Glorious Dynasty
Sometime around three decades ago, the Chinese Communist leadership discreetly contacted the Sino-Diaspora in Singapore, Hong Cong, Macau, Vancouver and elsewhere, and launched the secret drive to create the 15th Dynasty; exactly four thousand years after the commencement of the first.
This was also viewed as the first resurgence of Chinese imperialism since the Manchu Dynasty ended in 1912. Moreover, they proclaimed, “this time it will be global”. To fulfil this dream, it was agreed that the five prerequisite characters were: commonality of language, ethnic unity, acknowledgement of ethnic superiority; secrecy, and economic expansion.
Mandarin was selected as the global Chinese language and it was very correctly surmised that the emergence of democracy in China would precipitate regional and sub-ethnic pride and identity, which would divert energy and resources from the national drive, and therefore must be repressed at all costs. Powerful peer pressures are brought to bear on persons who betray the Great Dynasty by speaking Haka, Hokkien, Cantonese or other dialects.
Likewise, any talk of democracy. Democracy, it was reasoned, would seriously dilute national unity of purpose through an uncontrollable input of values which would likely have less interest in Empire and more on local needs fulfillment. Tiananmen was by no means an overreaction and the current repressions in Hong Kong are a mere foretaste of things to come.
Although the CIA, CFR and coordinated western public media have falsely presented the rebellion in Hong Kong as a plea for egalitarian democracy, they most certainly understand that this is actually, and so typically, a Chinese fight to retain profits. Ironically, this is also pure capitalism.
To ensure that economic imperialism developed rapidly, key exports to targeted nations were heavily subsidised. The CEO of Australian corporation BluesScopeSteel noted that he saw rolls of sheet steel selling in Australia for less than it would cost to produce in their nation of origin, China. Accordingly, America and Australia were flooded by cheap subsidised products, consumer items, tools; construction materials and IT, both hardware and software. No doubt other countries were similarly targeted.
GATT, GATS and the Lima Declaration provided substantial political momentum and hamstrung all resistance. It should be noted that these globalist tools were constructed by the Rothschild/Rockefeller investment banker and resource sector consortium. These are the fingerprints to be found on both Chinese and Globalist policy documents, that we should be cognizant of if we wish to dodge the bullets and recreate Australian national sovereignty and egalitarian prosperity.
The role of the WTO, WB, and IMF were significant, guided by the same very canny Rothschild-Rockefeller alliance (who, it is suspected, contributed to much of the value of subsidies. Certainly, it is known that by 2006 their banks dominated one-third of China’s finance and investment industry, and the subsidies certainly expedited free trade development).
Impact of China on Australia
These imports forced Australian-owned industrial production entities to out-source, off-shore… or go bankrupt.
In Australia, two-thirds of family farmers were forced off the land, replaced by corporate factory farming and macro-agribusiness. Regional economies were obliterated, half of these wiped out by live export.
In the towns and cities, more than 90% of the manufacturing sector perished. By 2006, independent surveys (AIA, Australian Independent, and The Bulletin, 1999) revealed that between 19% and 23% of Australians were unemployed; that 54% struggled to survive on below $15,000 per year and that almost 70% (inclusive of the 54%) had incomes under $29,000. The Keating, Howard and Rudd Governments collaborated in the industrials demise with visible enthusiasm. Fortunately for their necks, these leaders removed treason from the statute books; or so it is said.
To China, the winding up of tariffs was the coup de grace to open-import opposition. As they saw it, the entire global market was as good as theirs by 2005… 4000 years to the day since the commencement of Dynastic China.
It was here that the fatal preoccupation with aspect, portends, fortune, symbolic symmetry, and numbers were accidentally forged into a sword upon which the new dynasty would one day fall.
In the blind drive to achieve the Glorious Destiny of a Thousand Summers, no one checked the till. Had they engaged in humble abacus-based projections, it would have become apparent that in capturing foreign markets they destroyed local jobs in target countries and, thence, incomes and discretionary purchasing power.
For approximately one-third of Australians and Americans, by 2010, disposable income no longer existed. This is the chicane that destroyed Deng.
In both these countries, by 2018, one half of the population could not afford to purchase China’s consumer goods in significant quantities, and the 40% higher demographic have tightened their purse strings in alarm, directing windfalls, stimulus payments, and post-budget excess to eliminating credit card debt and making advance mortgage payments. (This is money, we should note, that was funneled into the banker’s coffers, as was perfectly understood in advance. In Australia, Rudd’s stimulus payments saved the banks from collapse).
Meanwhile, with some forty ethnic minorities murmuring restlessly in China’s North West, and with al Qaeda attacking China’s colonial interests abroad, and its own fuming unemployed about to rampage, the plan of an imported mountain of mineral resources with which to dominate the global consumer market had become the stuff of nightmares. Chinese harbours were overflowing with ore ships. Deng was sacked and Comrade Xi took over.
Then along came Covid-19
Scientists with credibility, including some in Australia, have declared that this virus is unarguably man-made. Investigator consensus appears to be that its origin was in Fort Detrick in America and that internal components of the Wuhan laboratory, which is reputed to be the source of release, are owned by Bill Gates, George Soros, and with Rockefeller and other related investors. One can draw one’s own conclusions.
We can only speculate on how Emperor Xi is reconciling internal economic development needs with those of the Covid crisis but his trade policy is more transparent. Applying the blowtorch to the bellies of trading nations has clearly commenced. Australian politicians appear to have no idea what is happening. Scomo says China is miffed and will get over it. Heaven help us.
This scenario is complicated by Pentagon’s ambitions to launch an all-out war with China, as recommended by the 2015 Rand Report. Crazily, the Biden/Harris ensemble also wants war with Iran, Venezuela, Syria, and Russia. The Pentagon is convinced it can win a war with China, albeit with acceptable collateral damage (i.e. many Australian lives, as forecasted by former PM Malcolm Fraser) but no foreign intelligence service agrees. International consensus is, apparently, that the US will lose.
Why? Because this Sino-American war will be fought on two fronts: missiles and cyber. Jointly, Russia and China have superior missiles, and also the capacity to disarm the US electronically. (Unfortunately for Australians, the primary target installations are on the Australian mainland). Moreover, from an Australian defence perspective, if the war lasts longer than two weeks, we will run out of diesel and our entire transport system will grind to a halt. Can we not engage catch-up mechanisms, I hear you ask?
China has this aspect covered too: With embargos on four of our biggest exports, we have little wriggle-room to upgrade to the necessary 90-day fuel reserve. Even if we did pull off such a miracle, Chinese Singapore, our sole source of petroleum, and joined to Beijing at the hip, will refuse to provide fuel.
China-admiring critics of my articles will suggest I do not credit the Chinese with the integrity that they so loudly claim for themselves, which is true. Guilty as charged.
Sino-fans also insist that the Chinese are too intelligent to engage in rampant colonialism, which they themselves condemn. Nor would they engage in activities that will launch inevitable mutual destruction, such as the use of nuclear-armed missiles.
These are sentiments. Where is the evidence, one way or the other? We need only reflect that this is the same Chinese people:
- Who guide their future with numerology and other superstitions;
- Who are driving hundreds of rare animal and bird species into extinction with the belief that their body parts, especially genitals and horns, contain special powers;
- Who are preoccupied with geographical aspects;
- Who are fatally preoccupied with money and status, but build homes in their colonial countries with grandiose entrances but tiny rooms, which are then forever unsaleable;
- Who loudly refer to Australians in Australia as laowai or wai guoren (foreigners), or worse, yang guizi (foreign devils);
- Who believes they can repress, torture, imprison, enslave and kill their own citizens for the crime of not liking a repressive government; (Oops, this sentiment must be infectious… our very own ALP now regards freedom of expression as a crime);
- Who sell the body parts of those politically executed;
- Who continue to allow domesticated fur animals to be skinned alive;
- Who impose their paranoid secrecy even on the citizens of other nations.
The Chinese are as capable of monumental stupidity as any other human beings on earth.
It rather looks like megalomaniacal lust for power, greed, and blind superstition will end the Glorious Fifteenth Dynasty within ten or fifteen years… perhaps to become known as The Littlest Dynasty.
With a deliberately limited view of the potential range of futures, If it gets its way, China will have climbed onto the Imperial Throne, only to survey a global wasteland.
Meanwhile, 30 million rural Chinese children have been abandoned by parents seeking the urban holy-grail. The cost of containing this vast army of hate and resentment will be added to the cost of a million empty investment homes, and dozens of industrial cities whose pollution has only just begun to kill.
And that is only now. In a decade, those nations whose water has been stolen will be clamouring at the borders, requiring a military repulse on a border-front that stretches for twenty-two thousand kilometres, the longest in the world.
There is another factor upon which no writer appears to have focused. The inevitable collapse of America will precipitate rebellions in all nations subjected to US neo-colonialism… 58 in all. The first rebellion will probably be in Congo, and the thousands of Congolese expatriates, every one a sworn avenger of assassinated Patrice Lumumba, will expel those foreigners whom they permit to live. Few who are aware of the centuries of suffering by the Congolese will condemn their vengeance.
This rebellion will spread across Africa overnight, eliminating the massive Chinese investment in this continent. Within weeks, anticolonialism sentiment will have become global and China will find its imperialism, camouflaged as the Belt and Road Initiative, in ruins.
The simple maths of this reads as an end to cheap foreign resources and a forced investment in local and national product and initiatives. What commodities cannot be produced nationally must then be obtained at premium prices.
And with the impending collapse of global free trade, the Chinese stockpile of technology-sensitive national exports will form mountains in the warehouses and wharves; unsold and unsaleable.
Perhaps the Chinese could use these exports as fill on their new South China Sea islands, but only if the Thais and Malays agree.
Meanwhile, the happiest faces will be in Taiwan.
Bullshit, it started many years earlier while we were still raping and pillaging China.
Look up Lima agreement where Australian government gave away our manufacturing capabilities.
China is a player no doubt but nobody has ever twisted our arm not to make better decisions.
The original belt and road saw many nations trading peacefully and fairly with each other across all major religions.
Just because China does capitalism better than we do never stopped us negotiating better deals at the start.
Our politicians have been betraying Australians for decades with their main stream media running dogs to the United Nations, to destroy Australia, our independence, freedom and sovereignty.

Some would say the belt road links Israel to Asia. Some would say Chinese enterprise would fizzle out without a model to copy from. As for Lima, it would have been so remote in the early 70’s as to be totally inaccessible to the local press, if people had known about it they would have all cheered John Kerr along. Some years ago I heard the main harbour in Peru was virtually an open sewer.
As with most of these things, the fault lies with probably all concerned.
THE GLUGS OF GOSH
by
C J DENNIS
“……………….To trade with the Glugs came the Ogs to Gosh,
And they said in seductive tones,
“We’ll sell you pianers and pickels and spanners
For seventeen shiploads of stones:
Smooth ‘uns or nobbly ‘uns,
Firm ‘uns or wobbly ‘uns,
All we ask is stones.”
And the King said, “What?” and the Queen said, “Why,
That is awfully cheap to the things I buy!
For that grocer of ours in the light brown hat
Asks two and eleven for pickles like that!”
But a Glug stood up with a wart on his nose,
And cried, “Your Majesties! Ogs is foes!”
But the Glugs cried, “Peace! Will you hold your jaw!
How did our grandpas fashion the law?”
Said the Knight, Sir Stodge, as he opened his Book,
“When the goods were cheap then the goods we took.”
So they fined the Glug with the wart on his nose
For wearing a wart with his everyday clothes.
And the goods were brought home thro’ a Glug named Ghones;
And the Ogs went home with their loads of stones,
Which they landed with glee in the land of Podge.
Do you notice the dodge?
Not yet did the Glugs, nor the Knight, Sir Stodge…………”

Sir Stodge is obviously Sir George Reid.
Tony,
Good article, always enjoy reading.
We are a little mouse, in the scheme of things, hoping the elephant won’t crush us. Sparsely populated continent abundantly rich with materials, should be sounding alarm bells here. Maybe too little too late?
The only thing, in our favour, is crown zionist control in Oz. As long as ccp doesn’t divorce the relationship.
Either way, our future hanging on by wing and a prayer.
I very much enjoyed the read/
Thanks, Dee.
“Moreover, they proclaimed, “this time it will be global”. To fulfil this dream, it was agreed that the five prerequisite characters were: commonality of language, ethnic unity, acknowledgement of ethnic superiority; secrecy, and economic expansion.”
Tony, are you saying the world will speak Mandarin?
Yes and no, Mary. The intent was to create a universal language for diaspora and regional Chinese, to enhance communication and unity. But with this push emerged a new ambition to see Mandarin replace English as the universal language.
This was never going to happen but imperialism and colonialism, built on a belief of racial superiority, always precipitates extreme ambitions.
Unfortunately for you Tony, I actually lived in Singapore for no less than two years, during that time, I made sure to befriend as many locals as I could, as I believed the only way to really understand a foreign peoples, was to share my daily life with them. You are of course aware, that Singapore exists of more than just Chinese decendants, right ? They also have Malays and Indians, even some whites of European extraction. From that experience, I can honestly say, you have no idea of what your talking about, and in fact are exhibiting typical RACIST thinking, that is so common in white European people, and many Australians, ( how can we forget the biggest RACIST legislation of the White Australia Policy, where it was perfectly O.K. to import Chinese slave labor, under the guise of contract labor, then when the job was done, kick them out and send them back to China AT THEIR OWN EXPENSE ?)
The colonial birth right, that such people believe belongs to THEM, came up against a brick wall in Singapore and Malaya during WW 2, when the invaded locals discovered they were not powerless against the invaders, after little yellow men with Coke bottle glasses riding pushbikes, beat the daylights out of said alleged colonial masters and sent them packing. Do you even recall those events ? As a direct result, those nations achieved self determination, and the colonialists were booted out. (B.T.W. the little yellow folks mentioned, were not your favorite punching bag of today, (Chinese) but actually Japanese, the nation that murdered Australians by the score, who are now clamoring to be our bestest buddies. With the approval of our traitors in Canberra.)
My, my, how the World turns. Where during those tumultuos times,was your Chinese plan of World domination then ??? The only folks who dream of World domination are WHITE people, mostly with a British back ground, who believe they were born to rule over everyone, and cannot abide any other nation refusing their dictates, and then accusing such nations of having similar ambitions as they themselves have, trying to justify their actions. We see this for the last 30 years in the baseless allegations made against Iran and it’s alleged nuclear weapons program, despite the U.N. over sight, and telling us there is no such program, we are still told, day by day, that there is. Simply because the Western World cannot understand that other people on this planet, do not share their mindset, and see things differently. China is none of the things you claim it to be, unfortunately I’m old enough to recall, when the Western World sought to take advantage of them, and their cheap labor, (NOT ONE WESTERN NATION WAS THEN CONCERNED ABOUT THE CHINESE PEASANTS PLIGHT OF WORKING FOR PEANUTS, ASK THE HONG KONG PEASANTS, HOW THEY LIKED WORKING UNDER SUCH RULE FOR THE BRITS?) every manufacturer could not transfer their manufacturing to China fast enough, thus creating the very situation you are blaming the Chinese for. No one looked further than the blue figures in the profit column, no one considered that the balloon would burst. Now that it is, folks like you, claim it’s all the Chinese’s fault and their ambitions of Global hegemony. What a load of cock. The Western World made this bed, now they can lie in it. and deal with the consequences.Exhibiting RACISM will not save our bacon, in fact it will accelerate what’s coming down the track, because it transmits to the Chinese, that we still have not seen the light.
The sewing factories are all in Bangladesh now, doing halal sewing
Chinese don’t care if we are racist, they consider themselves apart.
Much as the Jews. Getting bashed up a lot tends to create a stronger resolve. Did you ever hear the Roman Empire started as a reaction to Gaulish attacks ? Back then the Gauls had horn hats. It was only in Hollywood that the vikings were given horn hats. The Romans started their first army training to push back the Gauls and obviously it didn’t take much because “the rest is history”. Now the Jews have had their fair share of bashings, and thanks to Zio-Joe, it appears they will be running Washington. The new Jew empire is split like the old Roman Empire was split into East and West. The A-rabs have all surrendered, after being shown the Beirut mini-nuke and delivery system last year. As we were told at the time by none other than Mein Trumpf, “My generals told me it was a bomb and they should know”. I would say the generals are still friendly to Mein Trumpf. He will let the Jews have their empire over there, Greater Zion or whatever it becomes. Personally I hardly care. A-rabs should have sucked up. And the Chinese, will probably be a fizzer, especially if Zio-Joe gets the gas chamber as I’m hoping he will soon, of course it will all be done very discreetly, and with the dignity that befits a “head of state”, as we are calling him, for protocol reasons.
Eddy
Unlike you, I was around during WWII
And I was among the few Australasians who in the 1960s was weekly mailed the Straits Times, which kept me in touch with Singapore and Singaporeans. I also received advice from the family of Lee Kwan Yew. I also had links with mainland China, some through Rewi Alley, who knew more about China than Fitzgerald or any other expert of the times; and also through the Chinese Communist Party, who sent me supplies of Mao badges and Little Red Books.
When my eldest daughter married Chinese, at a wedding of 1000 guests, almost all Chinese, I delivered a thank you speech in both Haka and Mandarin, for which many thanked me afterwards.
Decades later, I was listed as a (seconded) DFAT asset on cross-cultural issues. I was appointed to host the first Multicultural Policy committee in Darwin.
In Indonesia, in 1978, I was hosted by the Government because they regarded me as uniquely cross-cultural (for an Australian, that is).
As a racist, I must admit to being a bit of a failure, as I speak Djambarrpuyngu (Dhuwali) and Wangurri (Dhangu), admitedly at a fairly basic level, but I get better every day, and I am also appointed by all relevant traditional owners as the primary resource for Muthamul Homeland in remote NE Arnhem Land.
Now,I have a question for multicultural expert you, how many languages do you speak Eddy?
I pay respect to you Tony we travel similar paths–and language is knowledge language is life–don’t cut off our tongues!
Language is our Identity
Our Language is the Voice of our Land

I presume that to keep the aboriginal tribes within their confines they spoke a different language. I would be interested though to find out how the little place called Mingela near Charters Towers in QLD got its name. The Christian aborigines around port Hedland W.A. used “Mingelah Lord” in their Christian songs.
Free trade was devised by Jewish business and economics professors, corporate executives and Wall Street tycoons in order to exploit economic and other policy differences between the U.S. and its trading partners for the purpose of boosting corporate profits. Although this system of commerce had been planned for decades, it only became practical during the technology revolution of the 1990s………….”

Free Trade and the Jewish Mafia
Mike Stathis, Chief Investment Strategist, AVA Investment Analytics
“………..Understanding Free Trade
Free trade is the economic pillar of globalization. Although it was marketed to American voters as an engine of job growth and better living standards, just the opposite has happened. In fact, free trade has largely been responsible for the widening wealth and income gap between America’s wealthy and working class. For partnering nations the results have varied. The consistent winner of free trade has been corporate giants. [1]

Peter and I do not agree on a few central issues but we both oppose globalisation. Another irony, both he and Israel Shamir are Jews.

Almost contraversal like imperial v metric. Just settle, we can tonne ease.
Good article Tony, cheers.
For the benefit of adenovirus and others who cannot read (poor things)… a cameo of the article: China has been helped by Wall St to anihilate nation’s entire manufacturing capacity but blind stupidity has led China into massive and unstopable slow-motion self-destruct mode.
One child policy was a miscalculation, if I was a dictator I would be following an unnatural selection model, well they are doing that now I think. Now they are running out of under-40’s and those are spoilt brats anyway. Demographics will cause problems, have to wait and see exactly how they manifest.
For those who love a good conspiracy, it occurs to me that the Zionists were long ago aware that China would stumble and fall, which goes a long way to explaining why they agreed to a bank swap programme a decade ago. They always knew China was never a threat to their own empire. This move also enabled a future looting of China from within, once organisational capacity had crashed. If history proves this to be the case, you gotta admire the diabolical cunning of the Zionists.
As long as we are discussing the cunning of the Zionists, here’s a great representation of the Biden cabinet –

Thus why I considered China a proxy bully the same way the Zionists have used the USA as proxy bullies. Makes sense when you regard the USA as occupied by zionist forces (ZOG – Zionist Occupied Government)
Justin… You are acutely perceptive. That is exactly the context we need to work with; but not forgetting that the bully’s henchmen sometimes get ambitious.

Good move, fellow Aussies. I understand that slaves on the block will fetch a much higher price if you speak Mandarin; which means you will almost certainly be fed better and beaten less. Those who are really fluent will, I understand, enjoy occasional access to their spouses, providing, of course, the Master/Mistress, is not otherwise occupied.
Oh, and for those poor Gunshoers who cannot read Hanzi, Julius’s pictogram reads…
“If you fail to comply, a nuclear bomb wil fall and you wil go up in smoke, and then come down as fertiliser. And survivors will be seen running around in prison”.
Wonderful thing, Hanzi.
All that should be very comforting to our abo remote siblings. Are you presently teaching our melanin replete siblings Mandarin so that they can join the ruling class?
Gee, David, I hadn’t thought of that. But they might find Mandarin a little arduous as most indigenous in Arnhem Land already speak two or three Aboriginal languages and then rudimentary English.
Most of the multi lingual people I know of reckon that the more languages you learn the easier it is to add others.
The real difficulty comes when someone comes from a language culture that doesn’t have lingual means to convey abstractions.
A litany of place names, cultural taboos and demands is not hard to translate.
Pidgin, or Pisn as the Niu Gini folk call it, is a good example.
That is simply untrue, David. Learning languages is primarily dependent upon one’s capacity to accommodate the cultural values that provide essential context to meaning.
Ergo, it is relatively easy to learn Hollandese or German because the values are so close to ours. But in Aboriginal languages, pricise interpretations are near-impossible. Most people give up after a couple of years.
For example, i have been learning these languages for 47 years and I am about one third of the way there. But within one year, recent Dutch immigrants thought I was a more recent immigrant than them.
And, I think it would take me less than a year to learn Italian.
Who Authorized Preparations for War with China?
By Amitai Etzioni*
Yale Journal of International Affairs
June 12, 2013
Abstract—The Pentagon has concluded that the time has come to prepare
for war with China, and in a manner well beyond crafting the sort of
contingency plans that are expected for wide a range of possible
confrontations. It is a momentous conclusion that will shape the United
States’ defense systems, force posture, and overall strategy for dealing
with the economically and militarily resurgent China. Thus far, however,
the military’s assessment of and preparations for the threat posed by
China have not received the high level of review from elected civilian
officials that such developments require. The start of a second Obama
administration provides an opportunity for civilian authorities to live
up to their obligations in this matter and to conduct a proper review of
the United States’ China strategy and the military’s role in it………….
https://peter myers news letters.blogspot.com/2013/11/608.html
“The Pentagon has concluded that the time has come to prepare
for war with China” – gimme a break, the U.S. military has been gutted by wannabes that are more concerned with rank and medals than operational efficiency. Crikey, just look at the way the National Guard was used in Wash. DC. – dumped into garages after the photo-op was over.
I know the military will train a soldier for discipline, but there comes a time when a soldier will question bullshit and whether to die for it. It happened in ‘Nam and the war ended, not because of ‘protests’ in the States, but because of disciplinary problems in the field.
If you were a soldier hung out to dry to die for some cork-sucker in Washington, would you be willing to leave your wife and kids to fend for themselves with a ‘leadership’ that didn’t give a crap about them?
The American Empire if over, deal with it, you have to be a total mug to sacrifice yourself for vapid psychopaths.
The Bunting Cloverleaf map is now in play with Greater Israel at it’s centre.
Eurasia vs The Americas-Cold war 2.0
Spot on Terry. I distinclty recall smoke grenades being dropped down the long drop toilet when an offending officer was using same, as a warning to them to smarten up their game. If the warning had no effect, the next grenade was a real one. Talk about being in the shite .

‘Normalcy’ Returns: Biden Sends Large Military Convoy Into Syria On Day Two
While National Guard troops were being kicked out of the Capitol on Thursday, Joe Biden was ordering US military troops into northeastern Syria from Iraq with the controlled media in America refusing to even report on it.

Well said Terry.
The morale of the U.S military has been shredded in pursuance of these pointless wars for Israel post 9/11.
They’re certainly not going to risk their lives for the ‘cork-suckers in Washington’.
I think you’ve missed the most important point in all this.
The Chinese Communist Party is created, owned and controlled by the megalomaniac plutocracy centred in the City of London and its franchises in the District of Columbia and the Vatican.
If we take Netanyahu’s boast to combine Israel’s technology with China’s productive capacity there might be a glimmer of insight as to how it’s supposed to work. Let’s include China’s military capacity with her productive capacity. Chinaman is apparently regarded as a slave State providing a great industrial industrial tool and a threatening mercenary force at the beck and call of the plutocracy. All the rest of us are assumed to be similar but up to date it’s only the Yanks after the Poms with the supine colonies that have been very compliant in this regard.
Now, since this is mostly aimed at Chinaman, I will contend that Chinaman is underestimated in his quiet toughness and consistency in paying due deference to what came long before to make them what they are… Honour thy father and mother.
Over 30 years ago I suggested that when the Chinaman wakes up to realise that he’s been completely dominated by another version of the East India Trading Co. he will be a great force against the plutocracy. I don’t mean a few dissidents in their hidey-holes, I mean the whole “government” saying “we’re not playing this silly game any more”.
Anyhow, Tony, I’d like to see what you get from a few Parliamentarian’s secretaries if you ply them with wine and beer. Not a few Party hopefuls in a remote location far from their comfort zone.
Ha ha, David, I did this when Hewson was doing his thing. I got to listen to Costello, Hewson, and Peter whatshisname (he later went to prison) and was shocked at the cynicism. They all just chuckled and sniggered at how stupid and gullible voters are. Of course, this all backfired on them when they lost the unloseable election.
Been there, done that, Tony.
You seem to be implying that the Asian types are not like us “enlightened” European types spreading the “democratic” “Rights of Man” over the Globe. Hmm.
Trouble is that the “Rights of Man” directly conflict with the “Rights of God”; that is the nature and purpose of yooman life everywhere and every time.
Some inveterate God haters will endorse and support anything at all as long as it is somehow opposed to Apostolic Christianity. Nothing at all new here… trouble is the blanky clever-dicks don’t have, and don’t need, any rational or historical back up for their arbitrary accusations because they have an audience ready to believe that ANYTHING AT ALL is acceptable as doctrine except what has been continually taught and believed by Christians from the get-go.
Not so, David. The author of THe Rights of Man was a devout Christian, Thomas Paine.
Nonsense, Tony! Paine was a bitter and twisted pre communist fairly closely associated with the French Revolution. Even Wikipedia that likes to whitewash anyone with “illuminated” ideals as far as possible had this to say about him:
“In The Age of Reason he advocated deism, promoted reason and free thought and argued against institutionalized religion in general and Christian doctrine in particular.
When he died on June 8, 1809, only six people attended his funeral as he had been ostracized for his ridicule of Christianity.”
Taken from:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Paine
Sure Dave, the Chinese was created by the Zio-cabal but soon after 1949 it was never controlled – it merely colluded with the Zio-malevolents. (Let’s dispense with the euphemism ‘City of London’ since it is owned lock, stock and barrel by the House of Rothschild and its Zionist offsiders, so let’s call a spade a spade shall we ?).
The District of Columbia slavishly follows the dictates of its Zio-controllers whereas the Vatican is such a non-entity, it’s not worth a mention.
The ‘collusion’ of China with the Apartheid Israeli state continues – why wouldn’t it ? (seeing as whatever worthwhile U.S military technology is still finding its way to China via Israel).
But that U.S technology is increasingly becoming less and less ‘worthwhile’ (witness the massively overpriced and underperforming F35 dud).
So China will remain on amicable terms with the Zionists – for now, since it serves their purpose to be party to an arrangement that presides over the implosion of the U.S economy and civil society.
But when the Use-By date of the Apartheid Israeli state beckons, and that time is fast approaching, China will dispense of Israel like a used tissue.
This you can be sure of.
Nah! When the Chinaman is not a useful tool for the maniacs Chinaman will be disposed of… so they think.
Let’s look at some metrics shall we Dave.
The Chinese economy is already the world’s largest when measured in PPP (Purchasing Power Parity) and will soon be the world’s largest when U.S GDP implodes coupled to the diminishing value of the USD.
Meanwhile, whilst the Zio-cabal is wealthy, said wealth means nought if it’s not backed by the military of one of the great hegemons.
Presently, the Zio-cabal has the backing of the Anglo-Zionist empire.
But as the U.S / U.K implode in a heap, and the remaining Five Eyes countries establish trade and diplomatic ties with the Sino-Russian Super Hegemon (and they surely will do after signing on the the BRI), there will no hegemon of substance to back up the Zio-cabal’s continued treachery and depravity.
You are sadly mistaken Dave.
No one is going to be dislodging Mr Chinaman and the Russkies from their positions.
No nation / group of nations / cabal are even remotely capable of doing so NOW – let alone in the future when China and Russia will be more powerful still.
They’ll be calling the shots well into the future.
Bulsh!t, TV. By 1949 the manipulators of the political scene had well and truly impressed on just about every body that “democracy” would be imposed, with atom bombs if convenient, like it or not, on every nation on Earth
To take control of the opium fields of Afghanistan was a bit of a start.
The real aim was to eliminate those bods who advocated a money system detached from “International Banking” protocols. It was imposed in Iraq and Libya by unprovoked external aggression. As if the theft of a few lumps of gold could destroy all the potential and ambition of a whole people.
Nah!! C’mon, TV. tellus how a few bits of shiny metal can plant/harvest crops; can husband flocks and herds… There’s lots more butttt…. ah! don’t worry… a pocket fulla gold will fix everything.
Nah! Explain how gold or silver transforms a sick barsard into a somebody that must be protected and served.
There is certainly some B.S floating around Dave, but it’s not coming from my side.
Will a pocket full of gold fix everything ?
5000 years of history says that it ALWAYS has – with NO exceptions in any major civilisation (being deserted alone on an island Robinson Crusoe style may be the outlier but it’s an unlikely scenario for anyone presently reading this).
The ONLY way that your thesis can come to fruition Dave is if we turn the clock back to the Bronze Age and revert to a barter economy.
Now, I ask you one simple question.
Is that likely to happen ? Is there even a one in a million chance of going back to the barter system (absent a a nuclear conflagration that wipes out humanity – and then it won’t matter anyway ?
Since we both know the answer to that then your thesis INSTANTLY COLLAPSES.
If we’re not going to a barter economy then BY DEFINITION, there has to be an internationally recognised form of money that is acceptable to all.
At the moment USD, Eurps, Swiss francs and other fiat currencies are still accepted and likely will be for some time to come.
However, to cover up ballooning budget outlays, Covid relief programmes, military expenditures, bread and circuses to keep the masses occupied, countries all over the world are printing money at a furious rate.
This will END BADLY for people like you who trust in fiat as a medium of exchange.
It will end in a worldwide inflationary Depression.
Remember, every dollar printed reduces the purchasing power of those dollars already in circulation.
But governments cannot ‘print’ gold and other commodities.
As to your statement : ‘tell us how a few bits of shiny metal can plant/harvest crops’, you’ve asked me a similar question at least twice in the past and you were given a satisfactory answer.
For some reason or other you’ve gotten temporary dementia soooo ….. HERE GOES AGAIN.
(I suggest you print this response and bookmark it for future reference Dave – it’ll save me having to repeat it).
I’m not a farmer, so throwing a lump of gold will not suddenly give me the capability to plant/harvest crops absent the capital equipment and know how necessary to engage in this process.
SIMILARLY, throwing a WAD OF $100 dollar bills at me will no more assist me in the planting/harvesting operation.
Gold, like $100 bills or a Platinum American Express Card will not bear fruit (of the edible kind).
These things are MEDIUMS OF EXCHANGE that I can use to get me that food from the farmer’s output.
Now, to answer your question.
Will a farmer presently give me approx $ 75K worth of his farm output in exchange for a 1kg gold bar (assayed by the Perth Mint or Credit Suisse or equivalent reputable entity) ?
I would say that YES, most educated ones would.(1kg of Gold is worth around AUD $ 77K today).
And, come the inflationary depression, nearly all would – and in fact will be paying a PREMIUM for said gold bar as hoarding begins in earnest. (This is ALREADY happening in many parts of the world as gold retails at a considerable premium to spot prices).
For those stick-in-the-muds like you Dave, that prefer fiat currency to gold and silver, we can cater for you too.
Said gold can be exchanged through a bank (most banks will be doing so not far into the future like they once did in Oz and elsewhere **) or through a commodity exchange/broker who will give you the necessary fiat with lots of zeros on each note – just to keep you from sulking and giving you the false sense of security that you’re rich (even though said notes with lots of zeros have bugger all purchasing power by then).
Good luck to you then – you’ll need it.
(**The following is a ten shilling note from a hundred years ago. Printed on the left and right margins in red font are the words Half Sovereign) :
https://www.allcoinvalues.com/images/riddle-heathershaw-australian-half-sovereign-banknote-obverse-28trn29.jpg
Yes people, you could go to any bank and exchange said banknote for a Half Sovereign coin.
Two such banknotes, or a single One pound note, got you a sovereign gold coin.
Meanwhile, the wads of notes that Ol’ Dave will have in future (each with lots of zeros on them), will get him S.F.A.
You’ve made your bed Dave – lie in it.
TV, y’ poor bugga! gold fever has made you delirious.
If my computer told my bank to take $50 off my “account” and credit it to your “account” so that you could buy your missus some wine and beer (that she richly deserves, in my opinion) you wouldn’t have it because it’s not gold (i.e. “real” money) eh?
I can only guess that your poor missus has had her home and everything in it pawned at the mint for chunks of shiny metal.
If you were the chief economist (I can’t even say that word without a shudder), treasurer, minister for trade etc. I would be greatly alarmed. I expect that (according to your previous wise pronouncements) you would be advocating that we export everything of value to anyone who’d send us gold in return.
I’d be interested to know if your missus thinks that a good idea.
Now you’re catching on Dave – exporting everything of value in exchange for gold is one excellent suggestion.
As for the missus, she’s warming to the idea.
Heh heh! Mr TV!
Please find enclosed a promissory note for $100. Y’ poor missus needs/deserves all the distraction she can get. I hope she can snatch it from you before you can turn it into gold dust.
I say again (not to Uncle Scrooge splashing about in his Money Bin) that anything at all that is accepted by traders as a medium of exchange is money.
All money, regardless of its token, is a human invention to simplify trade. The cunning Money Trick works wherever there are banks and goldkeepers.
I expect that your stash is under the bed, TV, that way you will not provide the usurers an opportunity to profit from your pile of gold.
Not safe to keep it home (unless your home is swarming with attack dogs and ringed in razor wire) – I keep mine at the Perth Mint, who don’t charge for storage.
I suggest you do likewise.
Meanwhile, if you can handle a bit of volatility, I suggest some ASX shares in gold miners (which are highly leveraged to any gold price appreciation).
Actually, old david, you were spot on. The initial and spontaneous reason why the US went balistic over Iran, Iraq, and Libya was their plans to establish a bourse trading oil in euros. Days later, the oil/bankers spotted this as a new way to steal oil, and realised that if they wiped out the population of Afghanistan they could also run oil down to the Pakistan port without having to compensate for land. The CIA recognised an opportunity to liberate its heroin fields again.
Tony, trading oil for Euros was only half the story.
At the end of the day, trading oil for another fiat currency whose value could be ‘tied’ to the reserve currency of the world (the USD), would not have led to loss of reserve currency status for the geenback.
The REAL REASON was that Gaddafi proposed a GOLD BACKED DINAR (the dinar was the currency of Libya).
That would have led to the de-dollarisation of the world and collapse of the U.S economy :
https://sputniknews.com/politics/201603171036485001-gaddafi-gold-story/
From that article :
“In 2009 Gaddafi, then President of the African Union, offered the states of the continent to shift to a new currency, independent from the US dollar, the so-called “Gold Dinar.
Gaddafi called upon African nations to create a currency alliance making the gold dinar the primary means of payment for oil and other resources.”
Seeking GOLD in exchange for oil was what sealed Gaddafi (and Libya’s) fate.
The illustrious TV station said:
“The District of Columbia slavishly follows the dictates of its Zio-controllers whereas the Vatican is such a non-entity, it’s not worth a mention.”
I will contend that the Vatican plays a more furtive role as the promoter of New World Religion. Since the money lenders got the Vatican in in their pocket and stuffed it from floor to ceiling with “liberation theology”, ‘Masons and poofters it’s been going quiet on Christian doctrine and furtively promoting all kinds of “New Age” and Globalist stuff. Softly, softly to start with, of course.
Wrong again, David. The 13 Jesuits who created Liberation Theology were assassinated by a team made up of Assassasini and CIA, led by a man who later became Pope… Benedict aka “The Axe”, as he was known to the lower orders such as Opus Dei.
You should really stop forming conclusion before completeing exhaustive research.
Tony, I always enjoy your comments and am in agreement with many things you’ve posted in your article, but there are several I take issue with.
For starters, let’s begin with this :
‘In Australia, Rudd’s stimulus payments saved the banks from collapse’.
Tony, let’s be clear.
Rudd’s stimulus payments, roof insulation and school halls fiasco squandered billions HAD NOTHING TO DO with preventing Australia from going into a technical recession or saving any banks in 2008/09.
One thing and ONE THING ONLY saved Australia and that was China’s massive demand for our resources as it embarked on a building and infrastructure frenzy.
As treasurer, Peter Costello inherited an (approx) $ 100 billion Federal debt when the LNP took the reins in March 1996.
This $ 100 billion was the aggregate debt accumulated since Federation by administrations of ALL political parties.
About 7-8 years later it was payed off in its entirety and in the remaining few years a $ 70 Billion SURPLUS was accumulated.
Enter Rudd the dud in Nov 2007 and within a few years the surplus was squandered and Australia was around $ 300 billion in debt again.(ie: three times the $ 100 billion that had taken EVERY government since Federation to accumulate).
Then Gillard came along and despite RECORD TERMS OF TRADE in Australia’s favour (all time market highs for our commodities), somehow managed to run deficit after deficit and FURTHER INCREASE the nation’s debt.
ie: make us even more BEHOLDEN to the Usury Cartel of Bankers and / or other foreign entities from which said funds were borrowed.
Make no mistake Tony, Rudd was an INSTRUMENT OF THE MONEY CHANGERS and his tax and spend philosophy was never in the interest of the Australian people.
Putting our kids and grandkids into indentured servitude at the behest of the Usury Bankers is the WORST of all possible options.
TV… I see where you are coming from but let me correct a wrong impression. Rudd is shit on economics. That’s a qualification to be an ALP politician. It was those very same bankers to whom you refer that directed Kevin to make the stimulus payments. Take it from me, the big four were so insolvent they could not even lend to each other at the time, let alone to a business.
And there is no way Kevin could have thought up this con on his own. I am guessing Kevin’s mentor was the HillsSimon Bank in London, known in Australia as the McQuarie Bank.
Gillard, too, was conned by the same people, only in her case the mentor was Alfred Dadon, the Zionist Melbourne developer. He also assisted her to become an inaugural member of the Australia-Israel Leadership Forum, an act for which two former Ambassadors to Israel broke with both ranks and convention and condemned publicly.
I have long pointed to the Beijing/Israel connection.
Tony, let’s not forget the role of fanatical Zionist and political powerbroker Mark Leibler in all of this.
TV… I do. I do.
Without access(via the Belt and Road /String of Pearls) to the new growing zone of the Sahel in Northern Africa this dynasty will follow every previous dynasty that fell during GSMs.
TV, I can’t let you go with your implied servitude to gold and silver.
All trade in goods and services, whether domestic or international, is a swap agreement between providers and consumers.
Economy is the production, distribution, exchange and consumption of goods and services. Money, whatever its token, is only a man made convenience to facilitate that exchange.
If gold is of any intrinsic value except as an attractive metal for making conductors and ornaments let’s give all that we have for gold.
Dave, I did not make a conscious decision to be in servitude to gold and silver.
That is a decision made by disparate civilisations, acting independently of one another over 5000 years.
I simply go with the flow and accept that gold and silver are monetary metals, always were and ALWAYS will be.
(Proof of that is the phenomenal rate at which central banks around the world are accumulating gold in anticipation of the implosion of the remaining fiat currencies that are still holding on).
I’m in complete agreement with you that ‘Money, whatever its token, is only a man made convenience to facilitate that exchange’.
And, seeing as governments cannot be trusted to ‘print’ rational quantities of fiat currencies so as to maintain purchasing power, said fiat currencies will ALL eventually collapse to ZERO.
Some will take longer to go to zero but those, like you who value fiat over REAL MONEY (ie: Gold, silver), will find your purchasing power greatly diminished in the years to come.
Dave, you can keep believing in your fantasy notion that gold will only have limited use and be good for impressing people with its shininess in ornaments, but the sheer WEIGHT OF MONEY going into gold bullion purchases on the advice of the world’s most brilliant thinkers advising said central banks (advisers that are a quantum leaps above your pay grade and mine in terms of financial savviness), tell a different story.
You either accept that reality or you’ll be buried by the folly of your beliefs.
Good-oh, TV, when you have a wagon load of gold and want some beans I’ll tell you to p!ss off because my my friends and I can use the beans but, just now, we don’t need fancy ornaments made of shiny metals.
To paraphrase Benjamin Franklin (with added artistic licence) :
‘Those that accept fiat money over Gold and Silver, will end up with neither beans, nor other necessities for life’.
Simply put, you will be destitute.
What say you to that Terry ?
Good onya, TV. I hope that you accumulate as much shiny metals as you and your missus can carry.
Trouble is shiny metals don’t make it rain etc. etc.
If I need rain, I’ll dial up the Dept of Malfeasance in the U.S government.
(They control the HAARP facilities that make torrential rain, create cyclones, earthquakes etc).
Needless to say, the U.S government WILL take gold – ohhhhh how they love their gold.
Tony, as for other things I take issue with, let’s start with your very first paragraph.
You say that ‘China has been used to destroy national industries and economies and render these vulnerable to IMF and BIS interventions’.
Not so.
Yes, Anglo-Zionist empire bankers have lent to various third world nations and said nations spent said loans on profligate non-incoming producing flights of fancy (mostly channelled to themselves which found their way to Swiss banks and such), hence leaving said nation vulnerable to pillaging and looting of its resources by way of IMF and BIS interventions.
The fact is, China HAS NOT destroyed manufacturing industries in countries like Germany, Japan and especially Russia.
All that China’s rise did was EXPOSE THE FRAGILITY AND LACK OF PRICE AND QUALITY COMPETITIVENESS of those industries in countries like the U.S (and to a lesser extent in Australia).
The U.S was unchallenged as at the cessation of war in 1945.
It’s major industrial competitors (Germany and Japan) were in ruins, much of western Europe was a shambles.
Those nations that were hardest hit (Germany / Japan), hunkered down and worked harder for less and established a framework for technological supremacy that continues to the present day.
Countries like the U.S and Australia got lazy (they had no competitors and could retail their wares for exorbitant prices), and have thus sowed what they now reap.
Russia today has record low foreign debt as a percentage of GDP and manufacturing is BOOMING on all cylinders (and it’s not due to tariffs and boycotts / prohibitions on foreign made items).
Purely and simply the Russians are NOT LIVING ABOVE THEIR MEANS.
They are fiscally and monetarily frugal.
They are everything the Yanks are not.
Meanwhile, China has destroyed NO ONE.
It just went about its business making products that we need at a lower price.
All that the Chinese have achieved has been courtesy of the sweat of their brows.
Good luck to them.
The failing west (esp, the U.S) is scapegoating China for its own laziness / incompetence / lack of accountability (money siphoned off in stratospheric quantities to Zio-owned corporate entities and the Apartheid Israeli State – starting with LBJ and since risen exponentially).
Serves them right.
If you ask any of the manufacturers who crashed following the removal of tariffs, they will tell you, as they told me, that it was China that undermined them.
And, by the way, the mining boom was mostly propaganda, generated by the media/banker alliance. At no time did mining contribute more than 9.3% to GDP, which was less than dying manufacturing at the time.
The vast flow of money going to the wealthy was the cash released by mass-sacking and asset stripping, and ultra high salaries of CEOs and executives. In other words, it was worker’s money confiscated and funneled into the accounts of the rich.
If you have a business that’s going down (exchange rate got to high so priced you out of international markets OR a cyclone came along and wiped out your banana crop OR the international price of sugar dropped and made your sugar plantation unprofitable so you LOBBIED the politicians to enact ridiculous legislation that creates a market for your sugar cane by using said output to make methanol – hence production of INNEFFICIENT E10 fuel for millions of motorists), said businessman will SAY CONCOCT ANY STORY rather than risk losing his livelihood.
(Many such businesspersons are mortgaged to the hilt and if their business fails, so too will their family homestead and acreage that was used as collateral for their loan).
At the end of the day, the opinions of said manufacturers that said China undermined them are not worth a brass razoo.
They’ll say ANYTHING, prostrate themselves to any politician to get that taxpayer funded life preserver.
Their opinions are worthless.
Turning to the auto manufacturing industry in Oz, said industry did not survive just because foreign manufacturers were tariffed and taxed into oblivion.
Even after punitive taxes applied on competitors, Holden (General Motors) and Ford said they needed BILLIONS in subsidies to stay afloat or else they’d pack up and leave.
Well, they got the subsidies, sent them back to Detroit (divvied up in salary packages amongst Auto CEO’s and board members, ‘Special Dividends’ to shareholders), and they eff’n left the country anyway.
These bastards should NEVER have been subsidised with even a single taxpayer’s dollar.
The day the foreign auto makers left Oz was a GREAT DAY indeed Tony – I was EUPHORIC.
A pity that it didn’t happen 50 years earlier.
All the incompetitive constraints against our producers have come from the government introducing laws which has increased our cost of compliance before we could produce such goods.
Some of these compliances have gone to protect those who participate in the making of such goods. If a competing country forgoes those ‘compliances’ it has an economic advantage against us.
And yet, I see nothing that takes this into account in the comments of many who post to this forum.
Perhaps if countries such as Australia traded only with countries that have similar worker protections we might not be finding ourselves in the position we currently find ourselves in.
Let us not forget that whole industries can find themselves obsolete due to the tax code implemented by those who control us.
No argument, Justin. But I propose incremental tariff introduction balanced with export reduction, with a view to ending trade altogether until the entire globalisation programme crashes.
No trade equals no trade sanctions or embargoes.
The globalist leaders understand this, which is why they have hit Australia harder than any other nation. They want to kill us off before we get too smart to beat.
I don’t think that we can entirely eliminate trading between nations, but autarky is something that nations should aspire to.
Correction to my Jan 25, 11.50pm post where I said E10 was made up (10% of it) from Methanol.
In fact E10 is derived from ETHANOL.
If E10 is left in your fuel tank for a period of time its bulk will increase due to its attraction to water. A bottle of metho is counteractive.
Truth Vigilante, Quote, “Tony, as for other things I take issue with, let’s start with your very first paragraph.” unquote. Your dead right on this. I saw, at first hand, the transfer of Australian electronic manufacturing to SINGAPORE. This was a decision made by the CEO’s of the companies involved. His Master’s Voice, no longer Australian. What happened when the basic salaries of the Singapore workers rose to be equal to the Australians ? Those same companies transfered their manufacturing to Malaya. Again, when the standard of living rose there, guess where they went next ? CHINA, and today the Chinese get the blame for this ???? W.T.F. ??
Absolutely Eddy
Its the China blame game for just about everything. It’s called transference
You all miss the point. I blame the globalist Zionists for aggressively promoting free trade.
My article on China had nothing to do with blame. It was simply a rebuttal of the inane and naive belief that China willl save the west’s economy. I said that it has massive problems of its own bourgening, and that it cannot easily save itself.
I think you guys read faster than you can think.
Where you could reasonably take me to task is my suggestion that Xi is a raving megalomanic. It would be wonderful if I am wrong but the evidence simply does not point to this.
Ah Tony
My posts on the Trilateral-Commission and how much money is owed to China by the US should have sorted that out for you. Blame them not me. Lol 🙂
Eddy, that’s exactly right.
It’s all cyclical. Throughout history the manufacturing base has shifted to where overheads are lowest.
Then, when said third world countries rise to first world status, they too will ‘price themselves out’ and the epicentre of manufacturing will shift to a new locale – this lifting the entire world out of poverty.
Does that mean that said previous manufacturing country sinks into the abyss ?
NO, not at all.
Yes, said previous wealthy regions of the world are dropping down the scale in terms of ‘Relative Wealth’.
ie: average GDP in Oz may once have been twenty times that of China and now it’s only triple etc.
But in ABSOLUTE TERMS people in western countries are (for the majority) better off than they’ve ever been.
As to the template that needs to be followed for the previous manufacturing / industrial powerhouse, that country merely shifts employment emphasis to focus on areas where it has a comparative advantage.
In the case of Australia that means enticing foreign students* to our world class tertiary institutions for example or encouraging increased tourism* to our pristine countryside – visiting places that are infinitely cleaner and have bluer skies since Australia is no longer home to factories that previously filled our skies and waterways with all manner of toxic pollutants.
(*Both industries decimated by Prime Minister ScuMo with his asinine China bashing and adherence to U.S dictates).
Oh pleeeeease, someone put him out of my misery and get rid of this obsequious lackey to the U.S.
Issue # 3 is this statement of yours Tony :
‘For Australians, this story is also needed to highlight the urgency of restoring tariffs and once again becoming economically self-sufficient. To not do so will allow this nation to collapse back into the equivalent of 1937.’
I’ve always been a car guy and recall a trip I made to [then] West Germany in 1984.
I recall how I could buy a 7-8 year old Porsche 911 for around 25,000 Deutsche Marks (just over AUD $ 10K at the time).
The same car in Oz was fetching many multiples of this.
WHY do you think that is Tony ?
It’s because we had TRIPLE DIGIT TARIFFS / Sales Taxes / various government levies at the time. (There were even OUTRIGHT PROHIBITIONS ON IMPORTING certain categories of cars. ie: not amount of tariff was sufficient to bring them in – you just couldn’t).
I recall coming back to Oz and seeing P.O.S 6 cyl VK Commodores with no air-cond / power steering selling for similar to what I could’ve bought that Porsche.
Bottom Line: When you apply a tariff to support a locally made product, NO MATTER HOW SMALL, it quickly becomes the camel’s nose under the tent.
A few years later said local manufacturers will be coming back and asking for a further increase in tariffs with scare mongering (often false stories) that imports are ‘threatening their market share’,and then another a few years after that they’ll be asking for yet further tariff increases.
In the end, we get a SHODDY and/or OVERPRICED PRODUCT (almost always both), with NO INCENTIVE for the local manufacture to innovate, introduce new technology, place greater emphasis on quality output because said local manufacture KNOWS they can always lobby parliament to enact legislation that prices out competition.
At the end of the day, it is COMPETITION that ensures all manufacturers and service providers are kept on their toes.
As soon as one of them takes his eye of the ball, their competitor will sweep in and take market share – this is the way of true Free Market Capitalism, and WE, the consumer, are the winners.
Whenever governments get in the way to impede a Free Market, quality comes way down, prices go way up, and we all lose.
If we were to introduce widespread tariffs across the board, contrary to Tony’s claim that we’ll go back to 1937 if we don’t, I suspect we’ll go back a lot further if we DO (perhaps to 1837).
Yes, we’ll all have a job if we displace imports with tariff protection.
But, our wages won’t go very far.We’ll have fewer consumer items and what we have will be straight out of the Dystopian World of Mediocrity.
No thanks Tony, not for me.
TV… I don’t think you understand the function of tariffs, as recognised globally. Tariffs protect national manufacturing and, flowing from that, jobs.
Tariffs were intended to prevent wealthy people like you from bypassing local manufactured items and purchasing them from foreign manufacturers or, conversely, from their products flooding local markets at prices which undercut local manufacturers.
You are perfectly entitled to be angry at this but tariffs kept Australian workers fully employed from 1948 to 1973. Now 60% are unemployed or underemployed. This destroyed millions of families and precipitated thousands of suicides. The long term unemployed are dying in slow motion from malnutrition and food toxicity. That is a big price to pay for your luxury items.
Addresing your final points, Australian washing machines and fridges routinely lasted 20 years and our cars of that era are still being driven, and are the favourites in Cuba and Jamaica. Why? Because they go forever.
Chinese crap is is destined for the dump in 3-5 years, creating another set of problems.
And, overall, the consumer is the looser.
It is apparent to me that your chagrin at being denied your cheap status car is colouring your perceptions of tariffs.
100% truth
Aussie Kelvinator fridges, built in the fifties, lasted minimum 30 years.
If there’s any around, they’re probably still working.
INCORRECT. I recall the majority of cars in those days, were of British import. I know, my parents bought one, and regretted ever buying it, a piece of junk, we were too afraid to leave the city confines, it broke down so often. The next car was a Volkswagon, third hand, not second hand, we couldn’t afford any other. The VW lasted us over ten years, never let us down once, ultra reliable. Then the Japanese imports began. Toyota utility, half the price of a Holden or Ford, they had heater demisters, radio and even carpet on the floor, and best of all, despite being labeled Jap Crap, they left the Holdens and Fords as well as the British stuff for dead, in the value for money and reliability department. Australians and Brits, did not even know what the word meant, but they soon learnt and upped their game, but still, to this day, can not hold a candle to a Japanese import.
Funny thing, in those days, the vitriol directed at the Japanese was exactly the same as the vitriol being directed at the Chinese today. Funny that. When I was entitled to obtain a driver’s license, I purchased a B.S.A. motorcycle. Yep, looked real cool, nice to ride, but leaked oil like sieve and petrol from the carbies as well. Never knew when the thing was going to catch fire or not. Eventually got sick of replacing burnt points because of the oil fumes gaining access to the electronics and bought a Jap crap Honda. WOW ! Talk about an engineering master piece. No oil leaks of any kind, no fuel leaks, ultra reliable did 100,000 K’ms before I sold it for the same price I paid for it new. That’s how Jap crap kept it’s value.
Australians started to see the superior engineering and quality in their products, something that Australians, despite trying their damndest, could not copy. Maybe that had something to do with the auto industry being run by International Corporations that did not have Australian’s interests at heart, and were afraid if the quality exceeded their own standards back home, their business there would suffer ? Anyway, we sure saw at first hand where their loyalties lay didn’t we ?
Eddy, ‘pure music to my ears’ best describes what you wrote above.
Those Austins and Morris’s (not to mention that monstrosity otherwise known as British Leyland that made the Marina – car enthusiasts will know what a piece of sh*t that was), the day they were all buried did not come soon enough.
Ever read Dr Dunegan’s recollection of the address by dr Day in 1969?
If you have not, you have no clue of what they planned and have now implemented.
‘NWO exposed by insider ‘ 1969 at renae.com
Sorry, rense.com and also reported continually at gumshoenews.com
Door handles DESIGNED to fall off! Look it up!
Eddy.since you’re a motorcycle enthusiast, here’s something you (and hopefully a few others), might appreciate.
I had an HQ Monaro V8 coupe in the early 80’s.
When I drove like a granny it would do 15 mpg (ie: the Imperial gallon – as opposed to the downsized U.S gallon),
That’s about 5km per litre in the city cycle.
When I gave it some stick (ie: nearly always), the fuel consumption would double for a given distance travelled.
Not content with it’s performance, I replaced the existing carburetion for Holley 4 barrel that sucked fuel like there was no tomorrow.
(No need to thank me for my contribution to greening the planet Dung Scotus – seeing as I was responsible for a small town’s worth of CO2 output all by myself and hence a major catalyst for the process of photosynthesis).
Even before said carburettor upgrade, I could easily blow $ 100 a week on petrol with only moderate driving.(Serious money in those days).
After the upgrade, best not to ask.
I sold that car in late 1983 for $ 3800 – making a handy profit.
I’ve seen similar unrestored versions of that car being offered last year with asking prices of between $ 75K – $ 100K and more.
A friend said I was a d*ck for not keeping it.
I told him that had I kept it for 37 years, even if I only drove it once a week for a short duration, it would have cost a minimum of $ 1500 a year in fuel and registration costs (and that’s not even factoring in insurance and other routine maintenance like oil changes etc).
Also the need to make allowance for the ‘cost’ of occupying another garage spot all those years.
The 37 year tally would’ve been well in excess of $50K all up.
Bear in mind that $ 50K put in the bank and compounded for 37 years at 5% would’ve turned into over $ 200K.
(The figure above is extremely conservative seeing as one could easily get more than 5% interest in the bank for most of that time).
Case in Point: In the early 90’s during ‘Keating’s recession we didn’t have to have’, I recall that you could get 12 – 14 % interest in an ‘AT CALL’ bank account – no need to even lock in your money.
Bottom Line: Whether it be fridges or cars or washers, the ‘old days’ were not always ‘better days’.
For all the pluses that can be said for the products of yesteryear, they are FAR OUTWEIGHED by the negatives.
If fridge technology from the 1960’s really was something people sought, some savvy entrepreneur would dust off the old blueprints and be making them now.
But they aren’t.
Because said products (like the rubbish domestically made Holdens, Fords and British Leylands we were forced to drive for decades, relative to the ACTUAL pre-tariff Japanese vehicle cost), were SH*T.
Went through the sixties evolution of motorcycles. The British stuff leaked oil all over the place and the Lucas electrics were abysmal, there was common saying “Lucas, God of Darkness” – and it was true!
What absolute bullshit.
Eddy the era you speak of was free trade. During the tariff era (pre-1975) those cars went forever. Just ask any old Kiwi. The Kiwis were home mechanics to a man. I myself owned a 1948 Ford Prefect, still going like the clappers when I sold it in 1970. Previously I owned a Vauxhall Wyvern. And Morris and Austins also went forever. You just were a lousy nechanic.
I also rode BSAs, a Triumph Speed Twin 500; and then there was the greatest street bike of all time, the Triumph Bonnieville 750. No other bike could perform as well in the tight streets and alleys of Auckland in the 1960s; so much so that bikies invited me to join their clubs because it was mortifying to have me out-performing their terror rides on Friday nights. One of these was all-Maori, that’s how desperate they were.
But, true, they did leak oil. But so too do did the greatest 4WDs ever built, the Toyota Landcruisers BJ40 to HZJ75. So what? We just wiped them before rego inspection. Others built a tube between gearbox and transfer box.
I think I’d rather have $50k in 1970 money than $200k in 1993 money. any bank interest you would have got would not have been enough to offset the effects of inflation.
The Datsun “Bluebird” had an Austin “A40” motor in it. The Japanese bought the patents.
Criss X, the Japanese also bought the patent for the Wankel engine from the Germans.
But, like the Japanese engineered ‘wankel’ engines in Mazdas that were a quantum leap better engineered than the German versions, no doubt the A40 in the Bluebirds was several notches better than anything found in any Austin.
ie: more fuel efficient / powerful / reliable, less prone to oil leaks.
Tony let me address you ‘fridges and washing machines’ that last 20 years or more remark.
Before I do, let’s divert to a related topic – Mobile Phones.
I do not have a smart phone. I have an 8 – 9 year old Nokia that looks like something from the late 90’s.
It has ALL the functions one would need. It can make calls, receive calls and even send/receive text messages.
What more could anyone want ?
Meanwhile, my missus has been through four or five (that I’m aware of) Samsungs or Apple i-phones or whatever.
She claims that one or more of them stopped working (I suspect that she was purposely careless and mishandled/dropped them so as to purchase the approaching ‘new model’ – so that she could keep up with the Jones’).
SO, knowing that consumers are FICKLE and like to upgrade to this years model on a regular basis, manufacturers use materials and lower cost manufacturing techniques to CATER TO CONSUMER DESIRES and therefore only make things last a few years.
Can manufacturers (in China) make things last a long time?
You bet they can.
Are there still people like you and me Tony that manufacturers cater to, making things that last a long time ?
You bet.there are.
They’re called Mazda, Honda, Toyota, Subaru etc.
Are there manufacturers that cater to the frequent buyers ?
Yes – G.M, Ford, Chrysler and many European manufacturers are not much better.
In relation to washers, dryers etc, are there manufacturers that make stuff to last ?
Yes, one of them is called MIELE, and their products cost a sh*t load of money.
So Tony, you are free to buy them if 20 years service is what you seek.
But after doing my cost-benefit analysis, I find that buying the Chinese made product every 5-7 years is still cheaper than (by a mile) than getting the European version.
Wife multiple smart phones – me Nokia brick. Mine is on a $20 annual credit plan and gets turned on once a week so that my wife can call me to pick her up from shopping.
She says she needs a new phone as we speak – “it keeps dropping out when it’s on speaker”. I reckon it’s a kill switch.
I tease her – “but can you play Snakes?”
Tony, also on the matter of washers that you and ’56’ said lasted 20 years, there are other factors that need to be considered so as an ‘apples to apples’ comparison can be made.
What is the electrical usage of those 20 year old washers and fridges ?
Sure, electricity usage wasn’t a factor in bygone days when our country wasn’t controlled by rabid Green zealots like Dung Scrotus who were responsible for this happening to electricity prices (scroll down to the graph showing what happened from 1980 to 2018) :
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-07-18/electricity-price-rises-chart-of-the-day/9985300?nw=0
The prices have gone up further still these last 3 years, so we’ve probably had around a 10 – 12 fold increase these last 40 years – WAY MORE than the rate of inflation.
Bottom Line: If you factor in the increased energy use of your old 20 year fridge, I would wage Crowns to threepences that your OVERALL COST of using said old fridge or washer is much higher over the life of the product.
Yes Tony /’56’ said old fridge is ‘better’ (in the sense that it is made of inch thick wrought iron as found in the hull of the Titanic and thus is impervious to knocks and dents when you’re playing cricket indoors with your six-stitcher (that’s a cricket ball for you Yanks), but said fridge is NOT better for your bank balance.
It, and all your other 1970’s whitegoods are impoverishing you at rapid rate.
Rooly topically bothersome for some of us who “been there, done that”.
Yair, orrite. some of us have been mad, wild basards who’ve caused our grieving parents more than a bit of trauma.
I am not being absolutist. My current HZJ75 with the 1HZ diesel motor is 27 years old, has 350,000 on the clock yet looks brand new. If you look closely at the body and underneath you can read that it is in fact a bush-basher. Last dry season It cost me $7000 in repairs, mostly from damage caused while traversing country that is the roughest in Australia, a 27 K track that nobody had driven in 7 years…rock and boulder country, swamp, deep gullies, rainforest, a hundred fallen trees.
So, yes, all hats off to Nippon’s Toyota.
And one of my best of all vehicles was a Datsun 1200 ute, which still sells for more today than its new price in 1976.
So why do I drive a 27 year old car? Because today they are made in China and are crap.
Which must be weighed up by the costs of buying a ‘new’ product every few years as dictated. My old washing machine (2nd hand 30 years ago) still going strong (with foibles) and at least has made up for itself in carbon credits by the time it gets buried. versus the 5 washing machines u would have gone through in the same time frame.
Tony, as to your ‘wealthy people like me’ comment from 5.31pm (what the hell happened, this comment appears all the way down here), I’m not wealthy.
I live in one of the more modest homes in my neighbourhood, in a middle class suburb of Sydney.
I live a simple and far-from-flamboyant existence.
Yes, had a somewhat profligate youth (would’ve easily spent over $100K on petrol in my lifetime on the various modestly priced second hand high performance and garden variety cars I’ve owned).
And I am talking nominal dollars. Adjusted for inflation to convert to present day dollars it would be a hell of a lot more.
YES, you read right – I have NEVER purchased a new car in my life.
That’s why I’m able to invest any surplus on income producing investments.
Not like Ol’ Dave who’s bought a truckload of beans.
(Little secret I’ll share with you Tony – there are countless other suppliers of beans in the world. The smarter ones among them will give me more beans and of better quality than what Dave is hoarding in exchange for just one of my silver sixpences, which may well be worth $10 each in the not too distant future – silver only needs to reach it’s inflation adjusted high from 1980 for that to happen).

What Is Coming Through That Needle?
The Problem of Pathogenic Vaccine Contamination
Benjamin McRearden
“……….There is an even stronger statement dating back to 1990. A scientist in the field writes, “The present concern is for safety of vaccines made using transformed or neoplastic mammalian cells that may contain endogenous contaminating viruses or integrated gene sequences from oncogenic viruses. There is also concern for use of plasmid vectors employing promoter elements from oncogenic viruses. The principal concern for safety lies with retention of residual DNA in the vaccine, especially since induction of cancer is a single-cell phenomenon, and a single functional unit of foreign DNA integrated into the host cell genome might serve to induce cell transformation as a single event or part of a series of multifactorial events. Current proposed standards for vaccines would permit contamination with up to 100 pg [picograms] of heterologous DNA per dose. This is equivalent to about 10(8) ‘functional lengths’ of DNA. Total safety would seem to require complete absence of DNA from the product.”(31)
Please note that 10(8) means 10 to the power of 8, or 100,000,000 “functional lengths” of DNA are allowed per dose of vaccine. Is there something wrong with this picture? How long will the general public be subjected to these vaccine products that according to this information, are nowhere near safe?…………….”

I hope everyone is inspired.
Still on the issue of cars, Australia, by virtue of being an island-continent ALREADY has an in-built ‘tariff’ of sorts.
It is called OCEAN FREIGHT.
In other words, if a foreign car maker manufactures a vehicle, it’s cost to the Australian importer will be Cost to Manufacture (X), plus Ocean Freight/handling charges (Y),
Needless to say, a local manufacturer of cars does not have to pay for ocean freight so is IMMEDIATELY at an advantage.
If said local manufacturer cannot compete even though they have this ‘buffer’ of protection, then said manufacturer should pursue another line of employment.
And then there is this remark of yours Tony : ‘ The CEO of Australian corporation BluesScopeSteel noted that he saw rolls of sheet steel selling in Australia for less than it would cost to produce in their nation of origin, China.’,
Well, he would say that, wouldn’t he.
Just like Sky News Australia is China-bashing all hours of the day and night (bereft of proof).
Nine times out of ten said local manufacturer is LYING THROUGH HIS TEETH.
Now, let’s focus on the one time out of ten that the truth is being told.
ALL manufacturers, whether they be making cars or clothes or lap top computers, manufacture a product hoping to sell it at a premium to its manufacture cost.
However, for whatever reason (in the case of the garment manufacturer, said item may no longer be in fashion, or the public’s fascination with it may be waning – in the case of something like the Rubik’s cube), so said manufacturer TAKES A HIT.
ie: they sell it for LESS THAN THE COST TO MANUFACTURE.
They take a loss on it.
They never intended for this to happen, but it happens.
Samsung never intended to sell a particular Galaxy i-phone (sorry if I get the terminology wrong as I’m a tech illiterate) for $ 300 when it’s R.R.P was originally $ 1K but with the introduction of a new model from the competitor ‘Pineapple’, (which has more features for less – with the added ‘cool’ factor), it must now ‘dump’ them for a price that is dictated by market forces.
Bottom Line: It is not up to Tony or me to dictate market prices.
The market price is dictated by supply and demand and that market dictated that the OIL PRICE dropped to MINUS US $ 37 per barrel in March of 2020 as the Covid Deception gained traction.
Why would anyone sell their oil for MINUS anything you ask ?
Well, those that weren’t forced to DID NOT.
They simply withheld their oil from market until prices corrected.
But those that found their oil tankers arriving at their final destination and had NOWHERE TO STORE SAID OIL (all storage capacity was full apparently), and could not afford to pay for said container ship to keep sailing around the oceans or hire it to stay offshore for a while until prices corrected, or were LOCKED INTO CONTRACTS to sell their oil at the SPOT MARKET PRICE, were forced to take a hit.
WE, the consumers won – as petrol prices plummeted in March.
Simply put, situations will occur where products are ‘dumped’ on the market at below manufacture cost.
SOLUTION: Put up with it. Sell you product at an equivalent price, take a loss on said output for a LITTLE WHILE until market forces stabilise.
And, it is ALWAYS for a little while.
No manufacturer, not even China can afford to dump products at below cost for any length of time – because they’ll go broke.
(** Sorry for the excess over 200 words Mary, but this was important. Readers really need to know that imposition of tariffs / government mandated protection is a regressive step. Everywhere it’s been tried on a widespread basis over lengthy periods has led to impoverishment of said society – no exceptions have been noted in human history).
TV, I must be living in the wrong state. W.A. had a BP refinery until recently but we never had cheap fuel. May be cheaper than the usual rip off price, but not cheap. When the price of oil went up to $US160.00 several years ago the price at bowser was $1.60 per litre. In more recent times when oil prices were no where near $US160 the price of petrol has again been $1.60/litre. Diesel is even a bigger rip-off.
The price of fuel in W.A. has been up my nose since Richard Court was premier, when he made a deal with BP because of the threat to close down then, (blackmail) that only fuel produced at Kwinana could be used in WA and it was supposed to be a particular grade. No fuel was allowed to be imported from overseas or interstate. That is against the Constitution as interstate trade is guaranteed by that document.
Then again have any politicians ever read the Constitution? I would say not.
I have never had a new car. I used to be a Holden man and always had a good run with them, especially before all the zippy add-ons. The reason why British vehicles were no good in Australia, is they were built for cooler climates. Not for 100F summer days. They always had cooling problem here, until thermostat was taken out. I now have a 1997 Magna, not high mileage, but still happy with performance.
Thanks for that Mal – no disagreements with 98% of it.
But as for the ‘British cars built for a cooler climate’ comment, the oil leaks, electrical problems (ask Terry about ‘Lucas’), happened ALL OVER THE WORLD.
The cars were just rubbish. (Overheating problems could easily be overcome by installing a larger radiator core / thermofans or both).
Bottom Line: If you’re dumb enough to buy a British car, you deserve what’s coming your way.
As for the seeming non-correlation of world oil prices with prices at the bowser, there are a number of factors.
When oil prices hit USD $147 in mid 2008, petrol prices were around $ 1.60 in Sydney.
Now that oil is USD $53 per barrel, petrol prices are were around $1.05 per litre the last time I filled up.
(Yes, yes Sydney-siders will be jumping up and down now telling me it’s around $ 1.40 – $1.50 per litre as we speak but that’s near the high point of the cycle).
Only a fool fills up at the high point.
Every 2 -3 weeks the cycle goes form high to low and one can usually get in near the bottom without much vigilance.
Anyway Mal, back to your point, there will no doubt be some price gouging going on as foreign multi-nationals (BP/Shell) get up to their usual antics.
But petrol is a fossil fuel(ff) and like all ff’s that produce CO2 and green up the Earth, the rabid zealots like Dung Scrotus won’t have any of that.
(They’re aiming of extinction levels of CO2 of 160ppm as Terry well knows).
So Dung will chain himself to pine trees in plantation forests or disrupt traffic in a major city until malleable politicians impose Carbon taxes to petrol / electricity / the coal industry / plastic bags etc.
Some of these billions go into alleged ‘Green initiatives’ (although I don’t see what’s so green about those Wind Turbines that chop up birds by the hundreds of thousands and produce electricity, some of the time, that is multiples more expensive than that generated by coal fired power stations).
Bottom Line: Whether it’s petrol or electricity or natural gas, Australia’s conventional energy sources are priced WAY IN EXCESS of what they should be.
Consequently, those industries from decades past that were energy intensive and for which Australia could make products that were WORLD LEADERS in terms of price and quality, are no longer capable of being made cheaply – as the input costs in terms of energy have gone through the roof to appease the likes of Dung Scrotus and the Climate Warming zealots.
All of these industries have been shut down by government mandates or just gone bankrupt – and the high paying jobs went with them to China (because Chinese industry has far, FAR lower energy cost inputs).
Thanks Green zealots, thanks Bob Brown, thanks the ALP (and the LNP to a lesser extent).
Job done – in exporting jobs.
Let me make a bald statement: according to my analysis, if we really wanted to run our own country, the price of fuel at the bowser would be 12 cents per litre. Lyndon Larouche replicated my study and identified 25 cents per litre.
If I get the time I will provide details some day.

Globalism is the most incredible way to swindle peasants out of everything because they think they are getting a good deal on appliances and data while they are asset stripped of everything of value. Now they sell internet university degrees, pay about $50k or $100k for youtube videos. Pay endless tax and get a $200 smartphone to amuse yourself in your cubicle.
Well getting back to trilateral, was it dropped in favour of the rise of China, because the 3rd leg used to be Japan.
The plandemic has Rockerfellas written all over it, a giant swindle, I am getting a strong feel for their sense of humour now, sadistic and black, since they put the highly suspect drag queen in charge of plandemic and fema coffins too by the looks. I would have no problems with the guy Richard/Rachel Levine if he was serving drinks downstairs in the Prince of Wales. But his resume is like a David Cronenberg film. Why did he not show up on Terry Schulze’s list of ZIo-Joe’s Zio-appointments ?
If true this is the latest, single most incredible piece of news to bubble up.
https://rense.com/general96/bidens-idea-of-representation.php
It is the constant plan to swindle and control people to the utmost. They have lots of fronts to either hide behind or not suspect and of course the corporate prostitute MSM is in he business of aiding and abetting these corrupt perverse criminals. These fronts are also for tax evasion
TV… In a Democracy, it is up to the nation to decide if it wants free trade or tariff protection. And just as soon as we restore democracy here, that choice will be made.
I will just go along with what The People decide.
I think we need a a proper definition of what the “People decide” means.
Please start again, Mr Ryan. Who are “the people” and how do they know if they “decided” anything? First up what the hell was the question?
Don’t be too complacent, buster, I didn’t come down in the last shower.
David, somebody put that challenge up in the US in 1880, in response to the banker’s deluge of propaganda smothering Abraham Lincoln’s definition of Democracy, which he issued at Gettysburg… “Government of the people, by the people and for the people”. In other words, The People decide.
In reply to the propaganda, the Populist Movement was started, a call for genuine democracy, as defined by Lincoln and Paine.
Political and journalistic illiterates now think this is some reference to popular notions, or to popularity.
In modern politics, in this context, The People means every adult invited to formulate policy by referendum. Some people call thiis Citizen Initiated Referendum (CIR).
The resulting consensus becomes policy.
Here is yet another stumbling block for the Americans
Duty to Act: Legal Obligations vs. Community Expectations American
http://inpublicsafety.com/2014/03/duty-to-act-legal-obligations-vs-community-expectations/
Legal Reality on Duty to Act
In 1981, the District of Columbia Court of Appeals ruled in Warren vs. District of Columbia (444 A.2d. 1, D.C. Ct. of Ap., 1981).
The Court stated that it is a“fundamental principle of American law that a government and its agents are under no general duty to provide public services, such as police protection, to any individual.” A quick review of state statutes found that very few states actually have laws that mandate a duty to act. Such statutes, which require an individual to respond to another being harmed, are relatively new.

“In modern politics, in this context, The People means every adult invited to formulate policy by referendum. Some people call thiis Citizen Initiated Referendum (CIR).
The resulting consensus becomes policy.”
I’m reasonably familiar with the notion of CIR from way back in the ’70’s when, I think, I was in the vanguard of proposing it as a stop to megalomaniacal “New World” politics. Trouble is we couldn’t excite much interest against the hostile media narratives. I will contend that we are currently reaping the “benefits” of the “resulting consensus”. Aristotle described democracy as “the tyranny of the ignorant”… I describe democracy as the tyranny of the media.
In my opinion, CIR should be a voluntary protest against the proposals of insanely abject servants of an hostile entity. Anyhow, almost no one seems to care about anything but their bread and circuses.
Tony, there was negligible push back as tariffs came down in Australia in the car industry so it’s very unlikely that the masses would vote for increased tariffs.
In any event, it’s not a zerp sum game.
If we put tariffs on certain items from China for example ‘Trump style’, then China would retaliate with tariffs of their own on Australian products.
Let’s use the Trump disaster as an example.
Whilst tariffs may have brought a few jobs back to the U.S, were more jobs brought back in one narrowly defined industry sector, in the whole economy as a whole it brought a NET LOSS OF JOBS.
The U.S lost manufacturing jobs and the trade deficit blew out with both China and the rest of the world.
(Note: When the U.S put tariffs on China in certain industries, jobs did not return. Instead, previous big importers and retailers of Chinese products like Walmart just switched to buying from OTHER LOW COST producers like Bangladesh or Vietnam etc.
Only now U.S consumers were paying more.
Now, you might ask, how do I know that Walmart is paying more for said products from another 3rd world cesspool ?
It’s easy enough to answer – I’m surprised you didn’t figure it out on your own.
The fact that the U.S was importing said product from China in the first place was because it offered the lowest price for said product or was the best quality for a given price point (OR …. both).
If Bangladesh or Vietnam or Malawi was the best value for money for a given product, the U.S importer would ALREADY have been buying from them.
Anyway, when the Depression got under way in the 1930’s, history buffs will recall the introduction of the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act, whereby the U.S imposed a series of tariffs on foreign made products.
How did that work out Tony ?
For those not familiar with what happened, said countries affected retaliated with tariffs of their own.
To cut a long story short, the Recession which has been going for only about 8 months (YES, was only a recession at that point and job losses were still quite few), turned rapidly into a Depression.
Economists are almost unanimous when they say that no other government action did more than the Smoot-Hawley Act to turn a garden variety recession into the most catastrophic Depression of modern times.
Tony, no matter what the will of the people is, I will always campaign against the imposition of any and all tariffs, because they’re always accompanied by disastrous consequences.
You might say that Australia has tariffs still on some items in some sectors and we’re doing relatively OK.
Yes Tony, we do have them.
And Australia is not doing too badly DESPITE them.
Without them, we’d be doing better still.
Doing well?
60% unemployed is not doing well.
I am tired.
I already said… incrementally restore tariffs as we reduce exports, with a view to eliminating exports altogether.
Exports are inflationary and only benefit the rich.
As Australia already has all the resources it needs, we do not need trade to provide a balance of trade, and if we do not export or import there can be no trade sanctions.

Well the power politics is all about hateful crap so how do you expect to avoid being soiled. Take care not to ratchet it up !!!
As for house, car, dog, football, it’s all done to death elsewhere, channel 9 etc.
The actual “news” is about serious stuff, actual anti-bill-of-rights stuff, decorum comes a very poor second to such considerations.

Like some other commentators you presume without evidence whether I might be “soiled”.
I can observe without being distracted with all the personal nastiness prevalent in some of the wheel barrower’s loads.
You clearly confused the meaning of my comment,
Just scroll back over the articles and identify your self for reflection on why at times I prefer, holden cars and even football (rugby) and meat pies.
By the way, I was already aware of the back turning etc. and no need to watch it after three minutes,
The non-salute was more interesting I thought.
But the video is definitely worth a re-run.
Ratchet up is in reference to your use of capitals.
Not sure about any other presumption.
Rugby football is totally unnecessary and does not even have a cultural background to excuse its miserable existence.
I have been to St George Leagues Club in the 70’s (not since) and the culture was of a homesick English expats bar.
As Stalin said, I care not who has the best team, I only care who supplies the cocaine.
Televised, corporatised sport is a sickness, just another form of mind-controlled marketing experience.
Holden went to China, courtesy of Lima Declaration, thanks to Gough Whitlam, hero of the left.
I agree with some points but not with others. I don’t have the answers so just a couple of bullet points to add to the mix:
• Deep in Chinese psyche, what they term the “Century of humiliation’ kicked off with the Opium Wars and which they regard as an “insult” [putting it mildly] to their rich 5,000 years of history, philosophy, invention, culture and contribution.
• The Boao Forum for Asia (BFA) was established as a counter to the West’s Davos and World Economic Forum (WEF) run by “ruthless psychopaths” and “who are obsessed with destroying everything that China has gained since 1949 … ” [quotes from Jeff J Brown]
• The South-North Water Transfer Project – probably the biggest infrastructure project since the Great Wall itself does not appear to be about depriving neighbours of water.
• It’s just not what China does … but Israel is beneath Israel: Israel floods farmlands with rainwater in eastern Gaza
• https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20210122-israel-floods-farmlands-with-rainwater-in-eastern-gaza/
“nothing” is beneath Israel …
None of the Chinese ever heard of “Tienanmen Square Massacre” so why would they ever hear of “the century of humiliation”, in fact they are suffering from triumphalism these days
Godwin’s Law on China
Godwin’s Law states that as an online argument grows longer and more heated, it becomes increasingly likely that somebody will bring up Adolf Hitler or the Nazis. When such an event occurs, the person guilty of invoking Godwin’s Law has effectively forfeited the argument.

I just did a search for H!#&@% and two incidences came up, both from commenter JS, should I read anything into that ?
btw The presenter of your “the truth …” does not at first glance inspire confidence
• “Only by upholding socialism with Chinese characteristics can we bring together and lead the whole Party, the whole nation and the people of all ethnic groups in realizing a moderately prosperous society by the centenary of the CPC in 2021 and in turning China into a prosperous, democratic, culturally advanced and harmonious modern socialist country by the centenary of the People’s Republic outflow obstruction China in 2049, so as to ensure the people greater happiness and the nation a brighter future.“
Xi Jinping, November 17, 2012, speech “Study, Disseminate and Implement the Guiding Principles of the 18th CPC National Congress”
Note the bolded key phrases which Xi Jinping repeats over and over again in his speeches and writing:
• people of all ethnic groups
• moderately prosperous society
• democratic
• culturally advanced and harmonious modern socialist country
But more particularly, note the long term vision – I really don’t expect to see China ‘collapsing’ any time soon.
According to the stories it’s the US we are seeing collapsing, due to losing hegemony and having already lost the genuine wealth creation (hopefully only temporary). Rumours of military weakness I would say are vastly overstated, swindles and military seem to be the surviving industrial sectors.
China has only built up over a couple of decades so it amounts to nothing, they have been living on technological handouts, it’s paper tiger in my opinion, with not much real expertise in anything non-Chinese. I’m waiting to see the evidence otherwise. Battleships, hi-rises, no way. 100 year old technology. Anyone can put up a hi-rise quick if they get the local council mafia out of the way. I remember a company I was working for nearly 20 years ago was designing a fibreglass plant for China and I couldn’t believe they wanted such old technology back then. They said they sent a rocket to land on the dark side of the moon. So nobody could check.
China will use cyber terrorism, killer satellites, mini drones to swarm, Russia and China now have the technology for anti ship missiles and of course they have used their spying techniques for several decades while the West was sleeping infiltrating businesses, universities and politics. Of course Australia has allowed this to happen despite the so-called “Intelligence agencies” gone walk about
All those navy shose ships are just for escorting oil tankers and merchant ships and scaring brown people in coastal towns. The killer drones, are they already in shipping containers landed in the US – if not they won’t be much use. US and Zion have shown they can target individuals in cars (long ago) and pop a mini-nuke anywhere.
China does not have the many years of war experience that the Fascist US Imperial Empire has. Many countries now have mini nukes as well as a 155 mm artillery that can knock out a regional area between 8-10 miles.
China also has used and uses the debt process to get assets scattered all over the world. According to Georg Webb a number of weapons caches and box in the missile have already been prepositioned in several US ports
There have been a number of credible reports of Chicom aka Chinese Communist troops in Canada and Mexico prepositioned as well
Exactly right about the war experience, they have more experience in losing wars. But as for assets, they are subject to local laws, for example the local council could rezone and put the rates up to residential. Or they could nationalise as Gaddafi did many decades ago, if nobody is scared of you they will nationalise your stuff.
Nobody even knows how Taiwan will end up. The Taiwanese seem fairly confident with their independence. Japanese also not terribly threatened. Maybe not threatened at all. Maybe as you say, everyone has the mini-nukes now, and good delivery systems. So huge armies presumably exist as a way to corral up otherwise troublemakers and expend them at an appropriate time.

But the neighbours of China are hardly even scared
https://www.bangkokpost.com/world/2057423/taiwan-air-force-flexes-muscles-after-latest-chinese-incursion
Hell, ten years ago China had bought Russia’s Sunburn missile. I watched a vidio of it striking the centre of a bullseye painted on the side of a ship from a distance of 600 Ks. And today that missile is obsolete. the US has nothing to compete with China/Russia missiles.
Remember when the Chinese shot down their own satellite in space? Once again the evil Tri-Lateral Commission gave China lots of secrets

China Will Soon Be Able to Destroy Every Satellite in Space
And the U.S. military should be worried.
https://nationalinterest.org/blog/buzz/china-will-soon-be-able-destroy-every-satellite-space-27182
This is one reason the US Fascist Empire are putting up smaller satellite. Apparently it took them 2 missiles to knock it out. I can’t find that article but I read it
The Taiwanese are patriotic and prepared to fight against communism for their homeland which is China’s territory. Australia used to have its own territory until they paid no attention and it was taken from them by stealth. Australians are unwilling to defend their country which is bizarre. So day by day they die slowly until the final takeover occurs…

I allege that H did not write M.K. A book writer doesn’t stop being a book writer.
’56’, I oppose tariff restoration BECAUSE I am against the ‘Slave Trade Bankster Agenda’ as you put it.
The measures you propose will DELIVER impoverishment to the country as a whole but ESPECIALLY fall hardest on the middle class and the poor.
If you can’t see that then you need to do a little more in depth research of your own.
There are MANY countries in the world that impose high tariffs across the board.
And, WITHOUT EXCEPTION, all of them are squalid sh*tholes.
Singapore and Hong Kong are standout examples of countries with virtually NOTHING GOING FOR THEM in the way of natural resources and thus were behind the eight ball from Day 1 as compared to Australia which is endowed with abundance.
What do these two places have in common ?
I’ll tell you – a very LOW or NON-EXISTENT TARIFF structure on nearly all foreign products.
End Result :Amongst the highest per capita GDP’s in the world.
.
Sorry to be disagreeable, but.
Singapore and HongKong are rich for structural reasons – they use the “offshore” labour in their respective hinterlands, the separation of the island states is bogus, the economy should in fact include the squalid hinterland of underpaids in sweatshops in Malaysia and Shenzen or whatever it’s called. That’s one reason why China wants HongKong so bad. They have been milking the profits since opium days. HSBC is up to God knows what, probably everything.
Oops
I don’t know why but I thought I was replying to 56, if I knew I was engaging with the Veggie I would not have done so !!! Please everybody disregard comment. It does not exist !!!!!!!!!
56… Thank you. I think I love you. Tariffs is where it’s at.
Just as a matter of interest, I was the convenor of the Tariff Restoration Bloc that emerged on the East Coast around 15 years ago. It absorbed the Great Australians, which was a party started in Noosa by John someone who, with John Siddons (of Sidchrome fame) started the Australian Democrats. That lying piece of shit former liberal Don Chip joined the Democrats 7 months after it started, and then destroyed it. Siddons dumpted politics in disgust.
Because so much of Australian history is absolute lies and speculation, I am writing a novel which hopes to claw back the truth, and also to provide a voice for the traditional Aborigines of the NT and Kimberly, who are drowned out by Aboriginal media celebrities from the south, who speak no languaes and possess no culture, despite their smoke ceremony antics on national TV. One seventh of the novel is complete and it should be ready to market by May; also as a movie.
Tony,
Looking forward, enjoying the facts in your book and seeing movie.
Thank you, for much needed common sense.

Oops, sorry, I did not mean to omit 56. I did mean to omit adenovirus, as I thought it said adrenochrome. I do not buy the big story that is going around about adrenochrome.
Good morning adenovirus. Who art thou?
Thank you for all of your hard work, your visionary abilities, your research, your comments and your patience Mary. I trust you will take your own advice with a quick R & R yourself! 🙂
Thanks, Mary. And thanks to you and Dee, we have the most dynamic news site in Australia; and the only one without censorship.
The contributers and readers let nothing get past them and no point made ever escapes a challenge… or ten.
Gumshoe News also precipitates more research than any other site I have encountered, so congratulations.
And thank YOU Tony (and Dee and Mary) – while I may offer a challenge here and there it is really a rhetorical yawp for reconciliation of the gaps in what I thought I knew and the insights and interpretations that you (and others) present.
You certainly send my scurrying down those stormwater drains for more research.
Much appreciated.
Mary, jokes were being posted the other day and whilst I didn’t have one fit for public consumption, I’ll post below one (with accompanying video clip) that I think you’ll appreciate.
It’s from the great Bill Bonner – who attended Ronald Reagan’s inauguration ball.
Bonner quotes one of the jokes that Reagan, the last POTUS that wasn’t beholden to the cabal and that still (mostly) ran his own race, gave at that ball :
“An American and a Russian are sitting in a bar, arguing over whose country is better. The American argues…
‘See, in America, I am free to do whatever I want. If I wanted to, I could walk right into the White House, slam my fist on the President’s desk, and say, “Mr President, I don’t like the way you are running our country.”’
The Russian then said, ‘I can do the same thing’.
‘Really? You can?’ asks the American.
‘Yes,’ continues the Russian. ‘If I wanted to, I could walk right into the Kremlin, slam my fist on the General Secretary’s desk, and say, “Mr General Secretary, I don’t like the way President Reagan is running his country.”
Ronald Reagan didn’t get his own way (after the assassination attempt early in his Presidency, perhaps he was intimidated into giving ground to the cabal on some issues).
That said, he mostly did what was right for the American people and was, I believe, a decent and principled man.
He certainly towers above anyone who’s run for POTUS in the last 30 odd years (Ron Paul excepted).
The writers may have written the material for him, but he sire knew how to deliver a joke as well :
I particularly liked the joke about the Energy Bill, just after the 2 min mark.
“He certainly towers above anyone who’s run for POTUS in the last 30 odd years (Ron Paul excepted).”
Excuse me? Excuse me?
Sorry MM, I meant except for Ron Paul and yourself (and Rand).
Veg, you are so wrong about Reagan. Try reading the book his daughter Patti Davis wrote about him, years ago, not the one she wrote when he had Alzheimer’s.
Anyway, here’s one from 1979:
JP2 & Lech Walensa were credited with bringing back “Deutschland Uber Alles” but Reagan turned it into a media stunt which went out in all the usual Time Magazine etc.
I think the reason “they” have Time & Newsweek, Coles & Woolworths etc is not exactly for the market competition but for internal review of relative performance. Duopoly has been shown more effective than monopoly in “free” societies (viz: political parties)
True, w3. In marketing its called the Lever Bros principle.
ahh Lever Bros –Unilever–my grandmother was in their employ– little is understood about Unilevers impact -globalist agenda– CEO Soros-
Will keep an eye out for that book Mary.
Obviously there’s a dark side to RR as well.
God Bless America
SDF Separatists Israelize Houses in Raqqa, Kidnap Civilians in Deir Ezzor
US-sponsored Kurdish SDF separatist armed group Israelized dozens of houses in Raqqa city and kidnapped 3 civilians in Deir Ezzor province, north of Syria.
The SDF armed group brought in bulldozing and demolition vehicles to the city and bulldozed dozens of houses near the Hazima roundabout, in the north of the city, the separatist armed group expelled the Syrian citizens from their homes and displaced the residents, exactly what the Israeli settlers are doing to the Palestinians since 1917.
As if the USA has a special enmity with the city of Raqqa, years after its illegal coalition flattened the city to an unlivable condition under the pretext of fighting ISIS which all indications prove they’ve created and sponsored, its proxies now are completing the task to make sure the city never lives again. Raqqa has special strong importance in the Muslim heritage, it was selected by the strongest Abbassid Caliph Haroun Al Rashid to be the second capital after Baghdad of one of the most prosperous Islamic civilizations.

US ‘Plundering’ Syrian Oil to ‘Send to Israel’
……….The United States is plundering Syria’s natural resources to send them to other places that will benefit from American theft, claimed J. Michael Springmann, a former US diplomat in Saudi Arabia.
“The United States of America is moving soldiers from Iraq, which it is occupying, to Syria, which it continues to occupy, in order to steal Syrian oil from the Syrian people and to send the oil to somewhere else, presumably to the Apartheid entity (Israel) and other places that will benefit from American theft of Syrian oil,” the American political commentator and author was quoted as saying by Press TV on 23 January.
Responding to reports that the US military has transferred hundreds of troops from Iraq to Syria’s energy-rich northeastern province of Hasakah, Springmann, who was head of the American visa bureau in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, during the administrations of former presidents Reagan and Bush from September 1987 through March 1989, underscored:
“This is typical of the US and should be shown in contrast to 25,000 soldiers that were surrounding Joe Biden when he was being inaugurated, just a few days ago.”............
https://syria360.wordpress.com/2021/01/24/us-plundering-syrian-oil-to-send-to-israel/
I don’t know this episode, but I recall Springmann as reliable before. FWIW.

Did each soldier represent one of the 25.000 protein coded genes in humans?

So it seems octopuses are apparently alien to our planet this year according to this article. It is still not clear as to say that they come from another planet but they have some interesting things to say about octopus. Having 33, 000 more protein coded genes than the 25, 000 in human beings. It’s ability to problem solve and adapt instantly its neural network properties making memory much easier than anything in the animal kingdom. Biological mechanisms that allow tissues to rapidly change proteins in order to alter their function and camouflage. They say there’s elevated transposon expression in neural tissues found in the octopus. The transposons are known to have the ability to affect the regulation of gene expression and are believed to play major roles in shaping genome structure.

Dolores Cahill, a Professor of University College Dublin, received her degree in Molecular Genetics from Trinity College Dublin (1989) and her PhD in Immunology from Dublin City University in 1994.
She is a highly qualified expert in her field and knows what she is talking about, so for God’s sake, please watch this video, understand what she has laid her career and life on the line to warn us about and do everything you can to relay this warning to as many people as possible.
Their lives may, literally, depend upon you getting this information to them in time to give them a chance to refuse the Pfizer and Moderna mRNA pseudo vaccines……………………….”

Is this payback for 9/11?
Well done Tony, clearly we all feel free here(no mean feat or unfair observation).
You all know of each other and I’m glad of that.
I myself was unhappy about the awesome 1275 Leyland mini GT, but will get over it.
Really, thanks all, specially Tony.
Thanks, Simon.
We are quickly going down this path…
The CIA’s History of Assassinations of American Citizens
http://disquietreservations.blogspot.com.au/2012/03/cias-history-of-assassinations-of.html
“Once a government is committed to the principle of silencing the voice of opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is down the path of increasingly repressive measures, until it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens and creates a country where everyone lives in fear.” – Harry S. Truman.
“I used to say we should take our chances on facing the world without a secret, deadly arm. Now, I say flat out we’ll be safer, and healthier, and stronger if we close down the operations side of the CIA, and keep the National Security Council as a strict advisory office only, without any secret police like the CIA to go out and run operations for them. We need good intelligence but we don’t get it from the CIA machine.” – John Stockwell, “Secret Wars of the CIA,” November 3, 1989.
Observation and Recommendations
Australians do not get to choose their own Prime Minster which is a sham on democracy. It is the Westminster system
Australia does not have a ‘Recall system’ to thrown out those corrupt politicians and for those who do not ‘represent’ them.
Australia does not have a ‘Direct Democracy’ for the ‘People’s Referendum” to decide on important issues and the future direction of this country.
Politicians make ‘edicts’ and call ‘mandates’ when they have no right or authority from the electorate to do so.
We do not have ‘Proportional Representation’ in both Houses.
The electorate is forced to vote for other parties instead of one vote one value with no preferences. This would stop the wheeling and dealing between
the political parties.
We have two Commonwealth of Australia’s operating in this country, one is the genuine Australian in NAME and the other is the COMMONWEALTH OF AUSTRALIA registered business NAME registered in Washington D.C. by the Americans.
We need to get rid of the insidious Federal Reserve (private banking cabal) which is not federal and there are no reserves and print our own money
without interest rates or charge.
The AEC needs to be restructured and reformed as it is bias toward the political parties and not the electorate.
Far too much secrecy with governments particularly with past treaties and the present TPP. Australian politicians are not making the best decisions
for the benefit of its citizens and the Commonwealth of Australia as a whole. If they were it would be revealed as so.
It’s all fine but be careful what you wish for
#1 proportional representation – in the senate it’s very proportional, the same number for each state, and in the state, you can vote for whichever one you want. Only Keating complains about it, wants more votes for NSW. (Is Keating the subject of those rumours we keep hearing ???)
#2 federal reserve – take one cent every day off every person in the world and you’ll become very rich. The Fed (and RBA) may be seen as acting like bookies. They take on bonds of all types and “pay” for them, collecting interest for their trouble, and risk. In theory they should return the bonds and get their created money back but in practice they keep getting rolled over and inflation is created. I remember you could get a very big ice-cream in the 60’s for 7 cents. Now you get a normal one for 7 dollars.
I don’t know enough about it but if some of the bonds crash, eg Freddy Mac & Fanny Mae type, the Fed might lose, they might have a bad year. In Australia we are told the government is a shareholder in the RBA. The RBA used to make some good profits on currency bets but perhaps they were stopped by some international convention or perhaps they lost money at it and had to give up, I haven’t heard lately and don’t know, stopped reading the financial press a long time ago.
The point is if you let the politicians print money directly then they will !!! Then soon ice-creams will be $7000. Perhaps the “independent” reserve banks do have a useful function ??? If only separation of powers and keeping politicians’ spending in check.
Over to you.
Do you like the present system which is criminal and corrupt with the Fraudulent voting system in place with the Freemasons that should not be in the Parliament

Albert Langer fights democracy http://magnacarta.moadoph.gov.au/story/albert-langer/
The title should be AL fights for democracy! The electorate should be able to stop where we choose not where the AEC or political parties say! That is not only un-democratic it is anti-democratic!
What I’m really saying is, whatever system you use, the same crooks will still be around, and trying to find ways to game the system. What I’m suggesting is, do you have a better system in mind to keep the politicians from printing money direct ??? Probably leading to massive pork-barrelling and a one-party-state ???
Yes of course! Each country is to print their own money instead of borrowing it from the Federal Reserve and paying interest on fiat money. That was the whole intention of the Peoples bank called the Commonwealth Bank which funded many projects in Australia
The Peoples Bank

https://cirnow.com.au/
Well they had the state bank in Victoria and the Cain government destroyed it by this thing called VEDC which was Labour backing businesses, ended in a total disaster, that’s why you need to keep politicians and public money out of business, of course more recently they have PPP (public private partnership) and pesnion funds buying the junk bonds, every sort of racket, it never ends, you change the system, they change the racket, the sheeple never catch on because they change the govt dept, they change the politicians, they change the name of the program, but the same racket goes on and on, the politicians get overpaid jobs in private industry if they have proved their worth at lying

The same should apply to Australia
I was just informed that John Coleman (author of the “Committee to 300” and “Tavistock”) plagiarised his work – mainly from Eustice Mullins and others and that he is insider (like so many others)
Nevertheless, while he may indeed point the finger away from the true elephant in the room (whatever that is) I learnt an awful lot about Tavistock and the manufacture of the two World Wars.
At 11:25 he talks about free trade with some interesting remarks.

Just watch for a few minutes
Plagiarised or not, his info on the Club of Rome is spot on. Also on MI6 and the role of the Queen in global control.

Those sinophiles should be alarmed by the incursions of chinese aircraft into the taiwanese airspace. This would probably be due to the fact that TSMC is able to produce products with the 3nm process. Currently Intel, based in Israel, is having problems with yields on the 7nm process. Roughly, that means AMD is able to produce a chip twice as powerful as Intel, with its 7 nm process. Given the race for 5g, and 6g, this is a real issue. No wonder China is flooding taiwanese airspace with their fighters. As China and Israel certainly have a marriage (even of convenience) it is imperative that they stop Taiwan from their current path.
Sounds like all the megalo-dictators are going to need a lot of bunkers
