There can be no mistaking the intent and actions of Australian political parties to remove economic prosperity from the people of Australia.
This was heavily accelerated in 1975 by the Whitlam regime, launching Australia on it's downward spiral into endemic debt and poverty.
The Lima Declaration was accepted by the Foreign Affairs Minister Senator D.R.Willessee without the knowledge of Parliament,
thus ensuring that Australia would wind down Industry, Manufacturing and Farming.
The Lima Declaration also required that we relinquish Monetary Control over the Economy & Banking.
Every Government since 1974 has worked steadfastly towards the goals of the Lima Declaration and the target year of 2000.
The secretive 1979 Parliamentary Inquiry into the ramifications of the Lima conditions was conducted under a "D" Notice,
the dire warnings for Australia were manyfold at this Inquiry.
Treasurer John Howard did not even wait for this Inquiry into the effects of the Lima/NIEO, setting the Campbell Inquiry in motion before the damning 1979 Inquiry.
Treasurer Paul Keating continued the sellout of the Nation of Australia with his Martin Inquiry (commonly known as Campbell MkII)
Little wonder that Paul Keating knew that it was the recession we had to have!
Because money is the most powerful medium by which a Nation can be controlled,
many preparations have been implemented over the decades to achieve total control in this area.
History reveals that nations can be conquered by the use of one or more of three methods.
This is precisely what has happened to the Australian Economy, utilising the Fabian like approach of gradualism, the generations of Australians have been lulled, lied to, and distracted with Peoples Palaces like Footy, Racing, Tinnies and Television.
And because Politics is no longer reported as News Facts, rather as controlled opinions, and because we have professional Economists and Politicians that are in on the scam, the rhetorical nonsense about Economic Rationalism delivered by a compliant Media is often accepted as reality by the too trusting public.
In time though, this method usually fails, because the captives hate the captors and rise up and drive them out if they can, and much force is needed to maintain control, making it expensive for the conquering nation.
Such a captivity is vulnerable to philosophical exposure or by overthrow by armed force, since religion by its nature lacks military force to regain control, once its captives become disillusioned.
It takes place when nations are placed under tribute without the use of visible force or coercion, so that the victims do not realize they have been conquered.
Tribute is collected from them in the form of legal debts and taxes, and they believe they are paying it for their own good, for the good of others, or to protect all from some enemy. Their captors become their benefactors and protectors.
Although this is the slowest to impose, it is often quite long lasting, as the captives do not see any military force arrayed against them, their religion is left more or less intact, they have freedom to speak and to travel, and they participate in elections for their rulers.
Without realizing it, they are conquered, and the instruments of their own society are used to transfer their wealth to their captors and make the conquest complete.
What we are talking about here is the unseen hand behind the scenes, the Money Power.
All of the preparations above including Lima, NIEO, WTO, NAFTA, APEC, IULA, have forced the following to come to pass.........
Closure of locally owned Manufacturers in the area of Motor Vehicles, Whitegoods, Appliances, Footwear, Textiles, Clothing.
Closure also of thousands of support businesses in the areas of Engineering, Foundrys, Transport, Packaging, Insurers, Marketing, Sandwich Shops.
In the area of food we have lost over 100,000 farmers, Abbatoirs, Meatworks, Canneries, Bakers, Supermarkets, Corner Stores and Takeaways,
Fish Industry, Buffalo harvesting.
A very small sample of once 100% Australian Enterprise now lost to Foreign Takeover because of unfair Taxation anomalies...
Areoplane Jelly, Ampol, Angus & Robertson, Ansett Airlines, Arnotts Biscuits, AV Jennings, Big Sister cakes, Birds Eye, Billy Tea,
Bristol Paints, Bundaberg Rum, Cadbury Schweppes, Coolabah Wines, Cottees, Don Smallgoods, Driza Bone, Edgell, Four n'twenty pies,
Kambrook, Peters Icecream, Speedo, The Age, Vegemite.
Austerity measures are forced on all countries in financial strife, we read all about it when it happens to others, strangely it never makes the news when it occurs in your own country!
The following are all resultant on the Government converting the Nation into running in the red, and surrendering the right to maintain balance of trade, and surrendering ownership to foreign control....
Reduction of services in the area of public health Inspectors, Hospitals, Doctors, Dental, Policing, Prisons, Ambulance, Education.
Privatisations are not simply fire sales of National Assets, they are theft of Public Assets, occurring in the following partial list....
Financial... Banks, Insurances, The Mint, TABCorp.
Energy... Electricity, SEC, Gas & Fuel, Hydro Generators, Snowy River Scheme.
Health... Hospitals, Pathology, Ambulance Services
Transport... Rail, Tram, Buses, Roads, Ports, Wharves, GEB, VicRoads, Airlines, Airports, Government Vehicles.
Sundry assets of... Plantations, Parklands, Cemetaries, Prisons, Smelters, MMBW,Water Boards, Schools.
Communications... PMG or Post Master Generals Dept, Telstra, Australia Post
John Brumby summed it up well when he wrote the following in 1995... "The SEC is a valuable and profitable asset paid for and owned by Victorians. It is held in trust by the Government for present and future Australians. Each year, after servicing it's debts, it pays a dividend of over $250 million [actually $314 million for 1993/94 ]to the people of Victoria.
These dividends are used to build our schools and hospitals, run our trams and buses, and train and equip our police and emergency services.
Without the profits of the SEC, and other publicly owned companies such as the Gas & Fuel and Melbourne Water, the only way Victorians would be able to afford these essential services would be through higher taxes".
These public utilities have been built up through public investment, risk, and lost lives in industrial accidents.
The transfer to private ownership means that profits now are prioritised over service and employment, and in all instances there has been no public
gain, in actual fact the taxpayer now must supplement the running expenses with millions of dollars annually.
It is now a proven fact that politicians in other countries have accepted bribes for handing away National assets into private hands.
Deregulation has also been an absolute disaster for the Nation in general, Financial System, Bread Industry, Dairy Industry, Essential Services and Health, etc.
Handing away wealth earning capacity of the Nation of Australia has of course reduced the income needed to run the country and maintain services, it has been long recognised at all levels of Government... Federal, State, Local, that the economy requires additional revenue to fund the costs of running the Nation, paying Interest on foreign borrowings, Foreign Aid and Gifts to other countries, funding foreign owners of privatised utilities!!!
Therefore there is an abundance of new and increased revenue raising concepts... Stamp Duties, Land Taxes, Local ByLaws, Traffic Offenses with resultant fines that can excede weekly income for minor and also very dubious breaches of law.
