Have you signed the petition to the Prime Minister yet? If not, do it now!

Today we will start looking at some extracts from a book entitled "Hansonism - trick or treat" by Don Veitch and published by the David Syme College. The college has more than 500 students and graduates on courses on economics and politics.

The extracts will be looked at in conjunction with the news of the day, to give us a further insight into the corruption that is running rampant in the "Four Pillars of Australia's Trojan Horse".

The book costs about Au$20 and can be purchased by contacting the college by writing to: P.O. Box 513, Flemington, Victoria, 3031 or phoning (03) 9331 3511 or fax (03) 9331 3230. Credit card orders over the phone are accepted.

My favourite statement in the book is one by Kim Beazley senior who said in the 1970s, "When I first joined the Labor Party (in 1940), it was made up of the cream of the working class. When I left it (in the 1970s), it was made up of the scum of the middle class". Of course Kim Beazley jnr is now leader of that party...

On the "current Australian establishment", quote, "People at the Base (the voter) never achieve or have impact on the power structure or on the direction of the Executive (senior bureaucrats and those who formulate policy) policy, unless they are aligned with a Central Oligarchic Groupings -COG - (such as oil cartels, wealthy families etc...) and have higher support in the Executive arms. The media selects what causes to promote, the COGs choose their allies, and the Executive arms facilitate or disrupt those networks it chooses. The Base, which votes for the Parliaments (state and federal) has no power, little influence and is essentially an impotent shadow boxing forum. Voting is a circuit breaker directing potential insurrection into the manageable forum of Parliament.

"The twin themes of "race" and "patriotism" have been made to appear as the core of "Hansonism". They have been made to become the very soul of what Pauline Hanson allegedly stands for. But while the Pauline Hanson version is roundly condemned, the Executives own version of "race" (multi-culturalism) and "patriotism" (the Republic) proceeds almost unchallenged."

Page 59 of ("Hansonism - Trick or Treat") - "But what Pauline Hanson actually believes is not important to the agitation-propaganda activists. Indeed a collection of comments could be presented to show Pauline Hanson as a reasonable person. This will not be allowed to happen. What is important is to build an image, to ensure that she is perceived as anti-Asian, and racist. Pack-leaders (like Jeff Kennett) in image making have determined that Hanson is to be condemned. This will then intimidate others into toeing the line.

"Thus other "spontaneous" opposition emerges and the anti-Hanson bandwagon will develop a life of its own."

Today we have Victorian Premier Jeff Kennett while swanning around the World Economic Forum in Hong Kong saying to a Channel 7 reporter, "I think Pauline Hanson should be sent back... (pregnant pause while he thinks).... to her fish and chip shop." Kennett was speaking after saying that (Hanson's) racists views were not representative of mainstream Australia.

Why Kennett's obsession with Pauline Hanson's One Nation? Quite simply because it threatens to undermine the COGs the Executive and it will give real power back to the base (the people).

Of course the media will continue to tow their discredited and dishonest line knocking Pauline Hanson's One Nation with for example the following headline in today's Courier Mail: "Coalition moves to jail racists."

With the following quote, "The move comes amid signs of increasing racial intolerance in Queensland and the growing prominence of right-wing leaders such as Pauline Hanson."

Now although they don't actually say it, the inference is that Hanson is the cause of racial intolerance even though Hanson's quoted stance is "for all people to be treated equally". This is the root of the problem for the media (COGs) as it would destroy their cosy role in the establishment.

Such is the lack of media credibility and ethics in Australia at present that the inferred implication of the heading is that "Hansonites will be sent to jail for 'racism'".. what a great form of blatant intimidation (remember what "Hansonism, trick or treat" says?)

Update on the Australian Labor Party thug files.

The role of the Australian Labor Party in trying to disrupt One Nation meetings is now well know, however, we have heard through contacts that, through our efforts, the facade and the "so-called unity" of these luny left groups is now starting to dissipate. Last week, a letter that I wrote to the Queensland Times, which appeared on Wednesday (Oct 8) revealed how the Ipswich branch spokesman of the Anti-Racism Committee, Peter Arndt, was a rank and file member of the Ipswich Central Branch of the ALP - after previously holding several executive positions in the party. We now also know that the lady whose house burnt down (who he was helping) is Virginia Clark - the secretary of the Oxley branch of the ALP... guess what she is also "head of" the Ipswich branch of the Anti-Racism Committee.... (page 123 of "Hansonism, trick or treat").

Also interesting is that we learnt that the man who we described in the section "The protest marshals fight for glory after the arrests as a "no hoper" in the Prosper Australia rally web site:

"At one point this no-hoper looked on as the crowd clapped at the speech being given from the other side of the street and the mood started to quieten. This young fellow (opposing Ian Rintoul) was the silent hero of that hour".

is none other than Ian Rintoul (seen here on the right) the leader of the International Socialist Organisation or ISO . This is the man who is quoted by The Courier Mail as saying, "We don't condone individual vigilant acts against Hanson supporters, but we are for militant protests and mass action to close meetings down."

I understand from a reliable source that Mr Rintoul was arrested at the Prosper Australia rally on a number of charges.

Political:

Following One Nation's excellent polling in a Queensland based survey last week the state Australian Labor Party have now claimed that the National Party will try running a number of "stooge" independents to shore up their vote.

One Nation national director has said that while the results were very exciting the party was gearing up for the federal election.

"We are not ready for the federal election yet, so to take on the state election would be premature.

However, I for one, would not put any money on One Nation not putting up representatives for the Queensland State elections next year.... and if they do I will be willing to put down money that they will hold the balance of power in Queensland.

Sport:

Cricketer Mark Taylor has been sacked from his job as captain of the Australian one day team. He was, in fact, left out of the one day side completely with Steve Waugh now taking up his role.

Personal trivia, from the global office:

Another perfect day in paradise.

Have a good one...
