Wangaratta magistrate Ian Watkins was arrested last Friday during a civil hearing he was presiding over in the Wangaratta magistrates court.
Local Photographer Dezi Freeman initiated the arrest after directly challenging the authority of the magistrate due to breaches of State and Commonwealth law.
The public gallery was filled with supporters of Mr. Freeman who bore witness to the proceedings including certified Commonwealth Public Official Mr James Rech, who stood up in the court and reiterated Mr. Freeman’s statements.
“Magistrate Ian Watkins was told to stand down and I instructed the Policeman present in the court, Craig Robinson to execute the arrest who then failed to do so in an act of malfeasance of public office and negligence of duty” Mr. Rech said.
Mr. Freeman, a Photographer from Myrtleford has been fighting against an attempt to block the Community’s right of access to Mt Buffalo National Park along the Buffalo Creek road, Myrtleford.
Buffalo Creek recently attracted widespread national media attention due to continuous attacks on Mr. Freeman and his family which was reported by A Current Affair.
Self represented in the case, Mr. Freeman has fought against local Lawyer Charles Morgan and VicBar Barrister Timothy Chalke (Castan Chambers, 460 Lonsdale st. Melbourne.) for the past year in his bid to uphold the community’s access to Mt Buffalo.
“The lawyers are profiteering from working directly against the community’s interest. I would have thought their reputation would be more important to them than money” said Mr. Freeman.
“It’s ridiculous that I have been to court nine times now just for bushwalking. It’s an insult to our community and the tourism industry and a gross waste of taxpayers money to even debate our access along a road that has been used to access Mt Buffalo for over 100 years. There have been multiple procedural errors in this case and the course of justice has been perverted.
Magistrates are not above the law and I will be holding them accountable for every last law broken and abuse of process that they commit unless they cease their relentless attacks upon me in this ridiculous, vexatious case”.
Commonwealth Public Official Mr. James Rech explained that the Supreme Court of Victoria has already set a landmark precedent in relation to such long used roads and their status as public highways at common law. “The Wangaratta magistrates court is attempting to contradict the Supreme court which it has no authority to do.
It is clearly not a court of competent jurisdiction and has ignored overwhelming evidence presented by Mr. Freeman. The way this case has been handled and the treatment of Mr Freeman is disturbing to say the least.” Mr. Rech says the case has been nullified by the arrest of the magistrate and the fact that he stood down as a result. “Magistrate Watkins had no answer when directly challenged on Constitutional matters and grant of power”.
“He then attempted to railroad the process but was quickly shut down by Mr. Freeman who exercised his duty under the Constitution to make the arrest”.
Mr. Freeman has overwhelming community support in keeping the road open to the public, while Magistrate Watkins is expected to face charges of Misprison of treason as well as charges relating to fraud and perverting the course of justice as a result of his arrest.
And ‘our ‘ABC’ is on to this?
As I understand this; the Magistrate was not physically arrested and removed. It was more of a technical paper based event.
Yes, kevin, I think the word “arrested” should probably be in quotes in the headline. He isn’t actually behind bars, and could just go home afterwards.
I would argue that, strictly speaking, the word “arrest” means “to stop forcibly; check or hinder the motion or action of”;it has nothing to do with the deprivation of personal liberty per se.
In this particular case a magistrate’s intended course was stopped short.
It’s not hard to figure out that that’s also what happened when a certain magistrate walked out of the Kalgoolie, WA, courtroom on 29 April’10, as recorded below.
Unfortunately decadent journalism has corrupted the way most people think
Interesting that the crime of Misprision is mentioned. I have letter on the way to The Office of Public Prosecution, Victoria on that very same subject.
Is this the beginning of the real, physical arrests of criminal judicial officers? It’s gotta start somewhere.
For those about to sign up for a mortgage. Essential viewing. C.E.C. Report.
We live in very interesting times indeed. Magistrates and Judges should be wholly conversant with the law of the land, the Australian Constitution.
This guy decided to make a stand re the type of unlawful restrictions of movement that commonly go unquestioned:
I wouldn’t recommend that anyone follow suite by themselves, but if an entire town were to do so…….
At around 7 minutes he draws attention to a mute point: “we don’t have the deed or title to our car because we don’t actually own it”
Most people think that having a vehicle registered in their name is proof of ownership. Actually it’s nothing more than a permit to drive it, a ticket that can be utilised by whoever happens to get hold of it.
Love it, every family has one.
Best of luck to the ‘traveler’.
When i attend a bank they ask for my driver’s licence, i say why, they say for identification. I say I do not have it and do not need it to walk down the street.
So I say look up the account number, see, you have my signature on record on the screen and here is a sample which I will sign in your presence.
Many hilarious responses.
In the end, I fine the bank a few thousand with a withdrawal and state that I am
Penalising the bank for being akin to fascists.
Running out of credit, all contributions welcome.😈☝
From my point of view it’s good to me reminded that others have been taking the very same course of action I’ve been following for years, quote “Dean Nalder(the Transport Minister) is well aware(of the situation), so is Reece Waldock (the D. G. of Administration)” .
In effect unless/until Mr. Nalder is prepared to repudiate the respective course the State Police and Judiciary have no jurisdiction.
I realise that both institutions are intrinsically law-less, but that’s exactly what ultimately renders them incapable of controlling anything
Berry– or Ned — if you have the time would you please go to the bottom of this Comment page and spell out what you mean. Thank you.
It’s about bloody time that these criminal seditious traitors court administrators who masquerade as ‘magistrates’ be properly charged and penalised accordingly. As I have said in other posts ever since the illegal Australia Act was put in place by the criminal and corrupt Bar system each government has been operating illegally and so have the courts which are null and void. The Usurping of government is High Treason with a de facto government masquerading as the legitimate government.
This who are also freemasons need to be identified and removed from the bench asap. These secret oaths and allegiances are detrimental to Australia and to the Australian Constitution and subjugate the rule of law, due process and a fair hearing and trial. The next possibility is a visit by the freemason coppers but he has a strong track record and many supporters for a solid concrete base.
How is it possible to get a copy of their submission? Is this setting a precedent or has it happened before?

And for anyone who has any remaining doubts about whose running the Country and how its being done:
Thanks Berry
I am familiar with their ‘tactical policing’ but the question is I wanted to know is this a precedent for a so-called magistrate or has it happened previously? I know they will fulfil their oath if asked if they are part of the freemasons or if they are in the ‘boys club’ for past promotions or future promotions and areas to be assigned
They are a criminal element of a police force instead of a protective policing policy with fulfilling their oath and protecting the public and Australia at large.
Some using the law creating situations which are coercive, threatening with physical force (abuse) and mental stress to individuals
Some will no doubt be blackmailed
Some will enjoy being a criminal with the ‘boy’s club’ whether they are part of the freemasons or not
Some are obviously not very intelligent and arrogant to flout the law for their purposes
Given the Freemasons history of even public self acknowledged membership, I think a case can be made for repeated criminal cartel associations of individuals that break/undermine and rebels against the Laws and Constitutions of all The Worlds Nations. So many to pick from ……

Disclaimer of finer facts and details, I only quickly scanned this record near the top of a current goduckgo search, seems good enough for my gist****link not required reading
Guy Fawkes, be it a false flag or only the start of “anonymous”(never see them and Q at the same time) shows a criminal cartel conspiracy to control/steer a Sovereign into a safer society for mostly the Freemasons and secure funds for their secret mission. Member individuals are often left out in the supposed cold to obscure the conspiracy that has been perpetrated. Benedict Arnold would be a well known one. Over time this can now only be seen as what it is, the current plays will show strongly down the track if there is one.
The biker gang cases to the higher courts of recent show that they can be forbidden association with each other with monitoring and draconian punishment for transgression. The Bikies can be pretty callous too life and there are always exceptions but pedophiles do not do well in this environment.
Will I file the first contempt action against the Freemasons, hell no, they made me a ‘better man” that does not want to die. I’d rather take my chances against Hells Angels.
The baton could be yours Arlyn, but I suggest a patsy, there? Dezi you know how to file.
Dezi if your on the same page, you will see this for the joke it is. Otherwise i’m the defendant, d’oh.

THE JESUITS The Secret Army of the Papacy

The below is out of the Book “Rulers of Evil”
by Tupper Sausy page 160&161
In September 1769, Prince William appointed Meyer Amschel Rothschild of nearby Frankfurt to transact some of his financial affairs in the capacity of Crown Agent. Aware that the Rothschilds are an important Jewish Family, I looked them up in Encyclopedia Judaica and discovered that they bear the title "Guardians of the Vatican Treasury." The Vatican Treasury, of course, holds the imperial wealth of Rome. Imperial wealth grows in proportion to its victories in war-as the Jesuit empowerment Regimin militantis ecclesiae implies, the Church-at-war is more necessary than the Church-at-Peace. According to H. Russell Robinson's illustrated Armour of Imperial Rome, Caesarean soldiers protected themselves in battle with shields painted red. Since the soldiery is the State's most valuable resource (the Council of Trent admitted this in preferring the Jesuits to all other religious orders) it is easy to understand why the red shield was identified with the very life of the Church. Hence, the appropriateness of the name Rothschild, German for "red shield."
The appointment of Rothschild gave the black papacy absolute financial privacy and secrecy. Who would ever search a family of orthodox Jews for the key to the wealth of the Roman Catholic Church? I believe this appointment explains why the House of Rothschild is famous for helping nations go to war. It is fascinating that, as Meyer Rothschild's sons grew into the family business, the firm took on the title Meyer Amschel Rothschild und Sohne, which gives us the notariqon MARS. Isn't Mars the Roman God of War, whose heavenly manifestation is "the red planet”? There is powerful cabalah here, and there's hardly an acre of inhabitable earth that hasn't been affected by it in some way.
„International finance and banking are NOT primarily ‘Jewish’. Many of the most powerful banking interests in the world are run by ‘Gentiles’. One of the most powerful forces in international banking is the Knights of Malta, a Roman Catholic military order controlled by the Jesuit Superior General. Sadly, even a certain segment of the ‘alternative media’ helps to propagate the LIE that ‘the Jews’ run international banking. Interestingly, one of the titles of the Rothschild banking dynasty is ‘Guardians of the Vatican Treasury’. ‘The Jews’, as a people, have been used for centuries as a ‘scapegoat’ by these international banksters and their secret societies, such as the Jesuit-controlled Knights of Malta. To label ‘the Jews’ as running banking, Hollywood, etc, is to throw out the proverbial ‘red herring’ designed to throw us off the scent of the "real controllers.”
Covert Geopolitics
https://geopolitics.co/2015/04/08/the-rothschilds-are-jesuits/
“If you are not an American you will understand why your country is on its present course, as it too is controlled by the Jesuit General through his select Jesuits, Knights of Malta, Shriner Freemasons, the Knights of Columbus, and the Illuminati’s Masonic, Cabalistic, Labor Zionist, Sabbatian Frankist (named after the Black Pope’s baptized Jacob Frank), Jewish House of Rothschild. For the Order controlled the infamous House of Rothschild since no later than the French Revolution and Napoleonic Wars, after which Jesuit-led Crusade the Rothschild family was surnamed the “Guardians of the Vatican Treasury.”
Arlyn,
That just circular, talk. They are all the same. There was a time before Rothschild before Jesuits before German tribes before Romans, Athenians , Egyptians,Persians, Asanazi, Babylonians .. hundreds of others.
I try to comment target in the context of the current ‘postings'(try), while I wait for the unthinkable that is change from our repeat doom. I’m ultimately looking for the puppet master, while collecting weak points(nodes) that could rid us of this ancient pest. I know that it can lead to friction so I do try to meter it.
We are all in different states of ‘near awake’, some go to the singularity, some other places. I’m not so evolved that I will except a situation of the group think however. We are all pretty much allies here, I’m not here(gumshoes) to one up, I’m here to push back with some likeminded people.
I think we all like the intellectual examination that is found in this place. Your valid contributions may be preaching to the converted somewhat here, but where are you going with this.
Most are suspicious here, logical given the usual mushrooming/gaslighting(keep in dark, fed nothing but …) that I suspect we have lived our lives though(maybe more).
You a more than welcome allie to me however, and your tactic at winning hearts and mind(WAM) is your call.
Guy Fawkes was not a Freemason? one of my two questions here. Roman Catholics are both born into and accept converts(Sacrament worthy), where as Freemasons must choose only. Was Augustus Caesar, Hannabal or Alexander the Great(or their handlers) a Jesuit ?
Personal: For Arlyn

With all due respect “they are not all the same”. My comments are in context to the post not from the past with all of those who you have mentioned. I try to stay in the confines of history as history is evidential and proof of the past.
My interest for over 35 years has been in secret history, hidden history or suppressed history.
Sure it is wise to have healthy skepticism but to be overly suspicious is not the best. I have found that people who are suspicious are confined to a certain mode of thinking patterns.
I am well versed in the Bible as well and I know full well the part of the great Whore or Harlot that is so well described in the Bible of the obstinate Roman Catholic Church-State that has murdered millions upon millions and continues to this day with their Jesuit counter-reformation in which has never stopped. Many people are unaware of this factor or they scoff or mock in ignorance. If you ignore the Jesuit counter-reformation then you are missing a big part of the puzzle or mystery.
You ask “where am I going with this”? I am just contributing with my knowledge and experience like everyone else here. I try not to place my ‘opinions’ and always give references to facts or evidence. Or if I do give my opinion I give references to those and I can give plenty.
The RC religion is not Christian and it is a ‘works’ religion. It is a sun-god pagan Mithraism hence the name Sunday. No one is ‘worthy’… it was through Christ ‘s suffering and our acceptance of Him that we are accepted by God. that is the Ever-lasting Gospel when we repent and accept. It is a gift from Heaven through God not from our own doings.
There is heaps of material to clearly show what they are doing and what they have been doing for centuries. The Jesuits have many ‘fronts’ just like the CIA aka Catholic Intelligence Agency.
You may have to do some research to answer your own questions simon about Guy Fawkes and the others. I have not come across as of yet if they were freemasons but there is always the Wizard of Oz is those behind the curtain.

I guess my point of “they are all the same” comes from your observation of the deaths and miseries caused. Same tactics throughout history(I don’t have access to secret history). As one example, look at the victorious armies coming home, now and those periods(Roman legion etc) I pointed out. Riddled with disease, and taking it back home.
I think ancient Rome and other well documented ancient superpowers were prior to the Jesuits. I think the Jesuits just had a baton passed to them, but they were not the first to use that modus, and I don’t leave them off the hook, ask Ned.
“Sure it is wise to have healthy skepticism but to be overly suspicious is not the best. I have found that people who are suspicious are confined to a certain mode of thinking patterns.”
Come on what, overly suspicious, I have a clear phycological issue, defined by…well you.
I don’t doubt your knowledge of the bible but which version. I only pointed out that that some ceremonies in the Catholic Church required due process that was not necessarily INSTIGATED by the receiver. The Freemason’s require a personal oath from members, no other way, and strangely they have to use blind faith, did you know that. Sets my overly suspicious mind to wonder why.
I guess purgatory or worse for me, but I don’t accept the current multi century status quo.
Your a good man(hopefully not “made” better), I’m sure you have your faults as we all do. While maybe not mutual all good from my perspective.
Best Wishes,
Simon
Once again, Oz needs to become a “Constitutional Republic” with the People writing that constitution.
Actually, Carlo, the concept of constitution is a device created by the enemy elite. It is intended as a paper tiger with which we have recourse when oppressed, only to discover too late it has no power.
For example, most nations invaded by the US (57 since WWII) had constitutions, which did them no good whatsoever. And no national constitution contains the word DEMOCRACY, this being excised by the lawyers before ratification (the prime purpose of the law society).
Finally, instead of a constitution, we need a document which states initially that ALL AUTHORITY RESIDES IN THE PEOPLE.
Then, that all government policies must be formulated by a fully-informed electorate. The role of government then is merely to implement the WILL OF THE PEOPLE, which is what a constitution is purported to guarantee, but always fails to achieve.
Finally, the third rule demands consensus, (not a majority) before a policy is converted to law.
For the record, when a population of people (regardless of size: (ie nation, region, or neighbourhood), have access to all the information they require about a given issue, consenus is always around 97%. This is because all people, regardless of race or culture, have the same fundamental values… they just want their families to be happy.
And when the process towards consensus evolves, people respond accordingly and defer happily to opinions they respect. People have a natural affinity to wards agreement. Just watch two people agree on something, they cannot help smiling. We are hardwired to love consensus. Social scientist, political scientyists and power lobbies have long campaigned to convince us that PEOPLE CANNOT AGREE. It is a lie.
This is not theory or hypothesis. it was proved in an experiment with 3500 people in Darwin in 1985.
Simon
I am not saying that you are overly suspicious just anyone in general as it does stop people from thinking properly and to expand their hearts and minds to learn
The King James Bible is the best. The Catholic Vulgate and the Douay Version bible is riddled with errors and changes.https://amazingdiscoveries.org/S-deception_Bible_Canon_Apocrypha
Yes I am well aware of the secret oaths of the freemasons as I have a friend in the Knights of Malta and he knows I am not happy about that and I send him relative material regularly. He is not a Christian and scoffs at it.
There is no purgatory Simon that is a Roman Catholic lie. It is not biblical and was used to scare church goers to pay money. https://amazingdiscoveries.org/S-deception_death_hell_purgatory_geena

Do you have any suggestions about a Constitutional Republic?
There are so many reasons why the Australian Westminster system is rotten to the core, undemocratic, lack of quality of politicians that don’t lie and hold the single-member electoral system which perverts democracy regularly, a general lack of knowledge from the electorate, no genuine inspiring alternatives or reforms, pork-barreling by the Coalition, the ALP is no longer the Opposition Party that is a myth of fiction, caught in a vicious two-party domination are just some of the problems that exist et there are many more unfortunately…
We are still living under the British colonial system but many people still do not realise this fact. The education system is abominable to teach proper government and real civics. We are in a ‘Concealed Colony’ https://corpau.blogspot.com/2017/09/australia-concealed-colony-book-federal.html We hear nothing about this from the prostitute media and press.
I don’t know if you are aware of the Honourable WA Senator Rod Cullenton and his team from WA who has won the UK decision in the Privy Council concerning the seditious and an act of High Treason with the Australia Act. Again we hear nothing of this unless you go one his FaceBook website or go to Larry Hannigan.
https://larryhannigan.com/2019/03/07/rod-culleton-reveals-privy-council-set-to-move-on-illegal-parliament-in-canberra/
Australia urgently requires or needs major institutional changes. We have old structures, old ideas, old parties, the myth of egalitarianism, the myth of responsible or accountable government, the myth of democracy, the myth of a fair go…..intelligent decisions by politicians who are bribed by the donations of corporations who are running government with their massive lobby funds which should be banned. We have the politicians on both sides of the political spectrum constantly making decisions for the benefit of the trans-corporations which are not in the best interests of Australia. Proportional Representation needs to be installed and the undemocratic Preferential voting system revoked asap. Many countries have the PR system entrenched in their respective constitutions but not Australia.
A number of constitutions have been assessed by a country’s political executive and the legislature meaning the separation of powers unlike the Australian Westminster system so the politicians constantly take advantage of this where there is less checks and balances of government abuse of power.
Obsessive secrecy with the abuse of power with draconian legislation and over the top surveillance powers is nothing more than a Fascist nation-state increasing its powers. Federal Joint Standing Committees has been dominated by the two-party system and any PR proposals have been rejected or not moved on. To rub salt into the wound is that the government of the day has no obligation to act on any such Parliamentary Reports and or recommendations.
We never get an in depth analysis or open dialogue from the public it is always superficial and controlled. We have no genuine innovative ideas especially from the lying and conniving politicians. There are a lack of constitutional directives and guidelines for government and lack of protections of Human Rights, a lack of a Bill of Rights for the electorate in which all other Commonwealth countries have in place.
Hence my statement of Judicial Dictatorship earlier.

It sure does Carlos! An excellent book with revealing historical evidence and great ideas all put together is “Australia Republic or US Colony? by Klaas Woldring
It should be read by all Australians
I believe the word “arrested” in the headline should be in quotes. If I tell you “I am arresting you” and you ignore me, have you arrested me? Have I been “arrested”?
Oops, should say “have I arrested you; have you been arrested?”
I don’t have a TV Antenna so is difficult to work out Alpine Regional News “journalism”.
I assume that Mr Freeman(how can this not be a setup) has driven some way up a dirt track, parked his car and then continued on foot for bushwalking/photography. What happened then, I have to assume his car has been ticketed on multiple occasions(9).
AR News could have supplied the details of the dispute. ie booked by council officers travelling on a bush track/firetrail. AR News does state that it is ‘Buffalo Creek road, Myrtleford’.But is it a certified road? or fined for trespass“It’s ridiculous that I have been to court nine times now just for bushwalking”. Very confusing to Mockingmebird
The same magistrate 9x, if so what a stupid Magistrate not to cycle to another as resentment locally grew(they mostly are, but I will not say as they are precious and the law cannot be seen to be stupid, by law). To be fair to the magistrate Ian Watkins, roads get closed all the time, temporary and permanent. Plenty of precedent for this on the Pacific Highway, as it has been “upgraded”.Not to mention storm damage. When I want to travel on some parts of the old old Pacific Highway/dirt track overnight, I assume the fine warnings are realisable so I keep my head down.
But to get something from this vague stew,
Question – is there an appeal mechanism in civil court or can the magistrate just shut it down with nonsensical reasoning, and be above professional review(I know closed doors).
Nice work if you can get it, Pell worked that seam, still is.
Maybe an article on the alleged separation of powers would be timely.
Now Mary don’t you dare say “come in spinner”, I’m as precious as a cut n paste magistrate, STOS (smirk to ones self of course),slow day for me too.
Talking about poor journalism, well me anyway.
Very recent story on abc news about abc 4corner’s 7 month investigation into James Gargasoulas.

Where do I start, I won’t but have saved it for sentimental reasons for Orwell. Only that I never “gained Angelo’s trust’ to find out what he is really scared off, pretty obvious, state players and secret societies, not the brother who would be quarantined from general jail. The outcome is very sad and reminds me of Martin Bryants lobotomise then parade an occasional grainy photo to prove he was fit for trail.
“Investigative journalism is about persistence”
I guess one thousand monkeys on keyboards for one thousand years will chance upon my previous paragraph. Come on Mockingbird lift your game, my sides ache from all your gibberish. I’m scared to go to abc view to watch your output Louise in case the mirth continues, Pell style.
Mary:
Do you want clarification on the use/control of roadways & tracks or the utilisation of the Westminster system?
So he was “detained” and the court proceedings were stopped with no charge against Ian Watkins at this stage….?
Just to clarify a couple of terms: Australia is an application of the republican system of government, with a house of representatives and a senate.
The westminster system is a monarchy (the top elite), with below that the House of Lords, (the secondary elite), and at the bottom, the House of Commons (ie elected representaives of the commoners/ peasants/ serfs).
Neither bears any relationship to a democracy, which is that form of government in which policy is formulated by all of the people and in which no power hierarchy exists.
No democracies exist today, the last being destroyed by the Dutch in Indonesia 200 years ago.
The two people behind this have seemingly launched 2 – 3 further such prosecutions for Misprison of treason.
Would it not bet more appropriate to charge for sedition among other charges?
Sedition
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SeditionSedition is overt conduct, such as speech and organization, that tends toward insurrection against the established order. Sedition often includes subversion of a constitution and incitement of discontent towards, or resistance against established authority. Sedition may include any commotion, though not aimed at direct and open violence against the laws. Seditious words in writing are seditious libel. A seditionist is one who engages in or promotes the interest of sedition.
Typically, sedition is not considered a subversive act, and the overt acts that may be prosecutable under sedition laws vary from one legal code to another. Where the history of these legal codes has been traced, there is also a record of the change in the definition of the elements constituting sedition at certain points in history. This overview has served to develop a sociological definition of sedition as well, within the study of state persecution.
