Parvo PUP - Australia First Party

No substance (unfortunately) in Clive Palmer’s ‘rant’ about China – it’s time for a real anti China political struggle
Clive Palmer’s angry talk aimed at China a couple of days back may not have been a “rant” as the media reported it, but it can hardly have been a heart felt statement of opinion either.
Yes, the Chinese state shoots its citizens and their legal system is just an extension of the Communist Party’s dictatorship and they do seek to control our ports and resources. These “mongrels” have an agenda of control.
Clive Palmer stated the truth.
However, he shouldn’t have told us all this and then go on say that it was aimed at a single Chinese company with which he has bad relations.
Clive Palmer’s past gave us a different opinion of China to the content of his “rant”’.
On September 29, 2009, railing against foreign investment rules that had restricted Chinese investment in Australia, he said:
“It’s one of the worst things that can happen to Australia to extend our racist policies into Asia. Capital is in China, it’s not in the US.”
He went on to say:
“Suddenly, there’s a great cry in Australia about reds under the bed. We’ve got the opportunity to grab if our politicians could only be fair and treat the Chinese ¬people and the Chinese government with the dignity they deserve.”
In Australian Mining, May 31, 2011, he said:
“The Australian government has racially discriminated against (China) and stopped them from investing in Australia.”
Palmer named a mine in Queensland ‘China First’ and he supported the introduction of contract labour in larger volumes. Perhaps his open door refugee policy was part of that idea since it could raise a mass foreign labour army that would undercut Australian labour conditions?
In the past, Clive Palmer has been in bed with Chinese imperialism for profit. He denounced other Australians as paranoid and “racist” for opposing China’s economic grab at Australia.
Does a leopard really change its spots?
Even so, this outburst had a value – a big one. No sooner did Palmer blather and froth, than the Australian traitor class, from the People’s Daily of Australian capitalism (The Australian) through to politicians and business leaders turn vicious and bay for his blood. They also demanded that whomsoever criticises their great friend and ally and trading partner – do the kowtow to the new emperors in Beijing.
The Chinese Embassy responded with the soothing words we would expect and Australian Foreign Minister welcomed that.
And Palmer back-peddled. He is no leader of any popular revolt, no articulator of the Australian People’s dissent.
A little sense from Jacqui Lambie – a kowtow from Barnaby Joyce and an implied threat from Tony Abbott
The Palmer United Party Senator from Tasmania, Jacqui Lambie, did raise the ante and differentiated herself from Palmer.
She warned that the “price of liberty is eternal vigilance”.
“If anybody thinks that we should have a national security and defence policy, which ignores the threat of a Chinese Communist invasion — you’re delusional and got rocks in your head”.
“Both Labor and the Liberals / Nationals have failed to build an Australian military that is able to defend us — and stop our grandchildren from becoming slaves to an aggressive, anti-democratic, totalitarian foreign power.”
All true.
Yet, traitor class representative, Agriculture Minister Barnaby Joyce, criticized Senator Lambie.
“I think the Australian people and the people of Tasmania should contact Senator Lambie and say look you’ve really got to be careful what you say now Senator Lambie, you are a Senator of Tasmania.”
“You are one of 76 people who represent our nation and no longer can you just talk like you might at half past seven at the corner pub. This is not the corner pub, this is our nation.”
“These things sound amusing when they’re said after 15 beers but they’re very, very dangerous if you want to say them on national television.”
The Prime Minister Tony Abbott added that there are similarities between  Senator Lambie and Pauline Hanson; he said both were “populist outbreaks on the right of politics” and in the end “pretty counterproductive in our national life”.
Counterproductive to those who pay him? Given Abbott conspired to put Hanson behind bars, his words are a threat. Those who speak even a modicum of sense can expect the lash.
For an anti China, anti imperialist movement
Australia needs an anti China and anti imperialist movement that unites across the productive sectors of our country, across ideological and political lines to secure Australia from China.
Australia First Party will bloc with any social sector, community group and political force which for any reason takes up the anti China struggle.
The recent Palmer incident shows us all how sensitive the traitor class is to preserving its business arrangements and perhaps how fearful they are of the Chinese jackboot.
Chinese imperialist standover is no parlour game and ultimately we Australians will be forced to stand-up to a superpower aware that we have no end of traitors within.
Newsflash!
The Chinese imperialists in their Global Times magazine have now pulled the bully and done it openly.
They say:
“China should consider imposing sanctions on Palmer and his companies, cutting off all business contacts with him and forbidding him and his senior executives into China. The sanctions could also be given to any Australian companies which have business dealings with Palmer's. China must let those prancing provocateurs know how much of a price they pay when they deliberately rile us.”
Rile us? Is this the language of imperialist gangsters.
They add:
“Palmer should be damned as the culprit. Because of him, China must teach Canberra a lesson for sabotaging a bilateral relationship. Australia has picked sides and embraced the US and Japan, but in the meantime, it keeps racking up economic profits from China. This situation is making it a radical "double-dealer" among all the nations which have relationships with China.”
In the rivalries between the New World Order group and Japan on the one hand and China on the other, Australia is now a ground for dispute and argument.
Australians should read the full article for themselves.

Is The ICAC Just A Theatre For Political - Economic Drama ?



 

http://www.abc.net.au/local/stories/2014/08/08/4063574.htm


 

The revelations at the Independent Commission Against Corruption surrounding Hunter MPs have prompted many to ask, 'will the system change?'

 

Mark Rolfe is a Lecturer at the School of Social Sciences and International Studies at the University of New South Wales and said the ICAC's framework for operating limits its ability to put those it finds corrupt behind bars.


"[ICAC] is doing a lot of the investigation itself as opposed to the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) which is not an investigative arm," he said.


The ICAC makes recommendations to the DPP after its investigations and can find people corrupt based on a balance of probabilities. For someone to be found guilty of a crime, they must be convicted beyond reasonable doubt. Mr Rolfe said the extensive media coverage of the ICAC hearings creates a culture of 'naming and shaming', something that is powerful in its own right. "[Publicity of proceedings] is an important component, as much as it's been criticised," he said. "I think the public process and exposure of so many people is still necessary in the cleaning out of the system, as much as it may cause cynicism."

Mr Rolfe said while corruption has been prevalent in Australian politics for decades, the intense public interest in the ICAC inquiries in recent years has made politicians more accountable.
"They didn't have the media then that we have now. But also they didn't have the culture of transparency and exposure which we have these days," he said. "That may make voters more cynical about politicians, but on the other hand, voters were cynical 100 years ago, so we do have the benefit of naming and shaming."

With Operation Spicer set to continue hearing evidence about alleged corruption, Mr Rolfe said change in the system needs to happen. "I don't think it's only DPP [charges] that will restore public confidence; parliament needs to do something about [corruption]. There is the capacity for parliament to expel [malfeasant politicians]; although both major parties don't want to go there at the moment," he said.
"It'd be too hard to [water-down] the ICAC, given what has been exposed. Premier Baird would be in all sorts of problems if he was seen to attempt to [water-down] ICAC, but I don't think he's got that intention anyway.

"There needs to be things done with parties and donations, because now the ICAC is exposing a trail to the federal level, and there's going to be pressure on the federal Liberal... and federal Labor parties to do something about this."


Mark Rolfe spoke to 1233 ABC Newcastle's Paul Turton.
 


Is The ICAC Just A Theatre For Political- Economic Drama ?

POLITICAL-ECONOMY "LOGIC" ?
Has the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) taken on a logic which has yielded to the "logic"of the Political-Economy ?

What is the relationship of political decisions to underlying economic forces ?

We may not always see a bag of money being passed from one actor to another; sometimes it is not that
clear.  Graft can be hidden through the market place.

The rise of China’s "interest" in Australia shows us that we are being recolonised
by a new money system: it’s now CHINESE Capitalism V's Wall Street Capitalism. We see this manifesting through the extent by which Chinese Imperialism is penetrating into Australia on every level of business and politics AND "Policy-making" !!

The ICAC must take into account this political-economic conflict when looking for corrupt conduct.

So why have the ICAC declined to investigate Chinese-connected political corruption in NSW ?

This apparent corruption can also be described as economic sabotage as well as brazen deception of the Public.


THE "NOT NOTICED"(?) CORRUPTION RE CHINESE TRADE CENTRE AT WAGGA WAGGA, NEW SOUTH WALES.
We provide examples: the Wagga Chinese Trade Centre fiasco, where actors in that game were identified
as Immigration fraudsters by Scott Morrison (when in Opposition) and were also involved in the Fitzgibbon
Affair. A Wagga local councillor (Andrew Negline) admitted to being offered "political support" from the
Chinese developers. And there’s more, MUCH more.

This project was ex Premier Mr O'Farrell’s and Mr Maquire's "baby". Perhaps Mr O'Farrell
is relieved that all that is (allegedly) hanging around his neck is a bottle of "red"?


THE "NOT NOTICED"(?) CORRUPTION RE CHINESE THEME PARK AT WYONG, NEW SOUTH WALES.
More recently we have the situation of the China Theme Park on the Central Coast at Wyong and the
questions surrounding Mayor Doug Eaton, who has already been publicly identified as being embroiled in the Eightbyfive slush fund, and in various other improper matters.


LOCAL COUNCILS AND CHINESE DEVELOPERS - HERALDING A NEW WAVE OF POLITICAL CORRUPTION ?
Local Councils in NSW are becoming increasingly involved with Chinese developers.

It appears where big Chinese money and development is the order of the day, allegations of Political corruption do not get off the ground, in NSW. Correspondingly, it appears, certain major Chinese projects do NOT "get off the ground" UNLESS there are corrupt politicians involved.






ICAC - "SELECTIVELY" INVESTIGATING POLITICAL CORRUPTION ?


We allege the ICAC is a vehicle to placate the masses with perceived anti-corruption efforts, based on
seemingly select issues.

Is it all an illusion based on Political-Economics ?


Are Federal Politicians EXEMPT from investigation when found to be connected to corrupt matters occurring in New South Wales ?

Is there some "special rule" which "IMMUNISES" Local Councils from corruption investigations into matters involving Chinese projects ? Is this an insane extension of the imaginery "LAWS" of Political Correctness ??

CHANGE REQUIRED WITH TEETH !!
We agree with Mr Rolfe's assertions that "change in the system needs to happen". We would suggest
adopting the USA Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act or RICO law. See:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racketeer_Influenced_and_Corrupt_Organizations_Act

Under this type of Act many who have been found corrupt under ICAC rules and indeed those seemingly
immune from investigation, would by now already be behind bars.

We are bemused that Joel Fitzgibbon remains in Parliament after he was dumped as Defence Minister for his
involvement with Chinese "developers" and Chinese government spies. Under RICO he would be behind
bars, not enjoying his current position of Federal Member for Newcastle.

WHEN POLITICIANS MAKE THE "RULES".
We are not suggesting the ICAC itself is at fault, but something is radically wrong somewhere

We note that politicians have a notorious record for creating, with great verve, ever more Rules, Restrictions, Penalties and Losses of Freedom for the General Public. Perhaps, when they review this issue, in order to be in "the right frame of mind" they might adopt the same CONTEMPT for themselves as clearly they hold for the General Public.
