Australia's loss of sovereignty to globalism
On November 19, 1993, at a meeting of the Asia Pacific Economic Community
(APEC) in Seattle, WA, under the chairmanship of U.S. President Bill
Clinton, Australia lost the final remnants of its sovereignty, bringing
to an end a nearly 50-year process which began when Australia's
governing cabinet agreed to sign the November 19, 1946 Bretton Woods
International banking agreement after World War II. Now Australia is rapidly sliding into Third (or Fourth) World economic
status. Since the acceleration of “free trade” agreements in the
1970's, pushed by a succession of socialist governments according to
prearranged plans cooked up in London, Moscow, New York, Washington,
and other power centers, Australia's moral, social, political, and
economic life has been ruined. If you want to see what the New World
Order looks like – or means for your children – look at Australia. In 1972, the national debt of Australia was $23 billion, with a
manageable 9.8% GDP in 1982. But to keep up its high standard of living,
the Australian Government borrowed billions of dollars from private
banks at high rates of interest, which plunged it into a debt of $225
billion. The interest payments on this huge debt deprived the Government
of the money it needed for many of its social programs. This is why the
country has now fallen from one of the world's highest standards of
living to practically a Third World standard of living.
“The last half of the '80's and the first half of the '90's,” writes
Jeremy Lee in Upon
the Millennium, “carried Australia through an escalating
crisis which saw tens of thousands of domestic enterprises either
close down, move offshore, or be swallowed up by foreign multinationals.
The latter, given full rein by the Labour Party, cut through the
Australian economy like sharks. Satiated by a limitless choice of
targets, they simply toyed with disintegrating Australia. They kept
the names of the ‘icons’ they had swallowed where it suited them. As
Australian-made goods disappeared from the retail shelves, they were
replaced with foreign-owned goods – either from overseas or from
foreign-owned productive units in Australia. “Hardworking Australians stood bewildered in fields of unmarketable
fruits and vegetables, while overseas produce was shipped in to fill
market space which once carried Australian goods; orange juice from
Latin America, while Australian citrus rotted on the trees; fresh and
frozen vegetables from Southeast Asia, while Australians ploughed their
unsaleable produce back into the soil; pork from Canada, jams and
bottled preserves from Poland, fish products from China and Scandinavia...
The importation of steel-based items... and electrical products were
legion.” Meanwhile, “it is said that there are 56 taxes on a loaf of bread by
the time it reaches the consumer.” Oh, the glories of free trade! Australia had emerged from World War II
with one of the strongest economies in the world, the highest standard
of living, and it was totally self-sufficient with its broad base of
small farms. Now sixty percent of the Australian-owned farming sector
has been wiped out. In 1960, there were 300,000 farms; now there are not
even 100,000. In 1997, the remaining farmers were quitting the land at
the rate of 35 per week. Of the remainder, 80% were in debt, owing $18
billion to banks in mid-1996, an average of $133,000 per farm. Australia is now a debtor nation, almost entirely foreign-owned, a cog in
the New World Order. Its once-proud steel industry is now Chinese owned...
though Australians were required to borrow the money from the
international bankers to pay for the Chinese purchases. The standard of
living is in a free-fall; real wages are declining; unemployment is
rising, as is homelessness, suicide, mental illness, and environmental
disasters, as the countryside empties out into overburdened urban areas.
The politicians, of course, say things never looked rosier. Australia is
now "multicultural" and a "partner" in the
international order. Jeremy Lee tells the story of what happened to Australia, but also of
what is happening to the U.K., Canada, the United States, and the rest
of the so-called First World as a result of 75 years of international
banking agreements and post-World War II trade agreements. Because of the acceptance of the Multilateral Agreement on Investment
(MAI) that was recently negotiated in secret in Australia, a great deal
of economic sovereignty in the country has been demised. Already 80% of
the economic activity in the country is managed by international
corporations. This process has been assisted by the Government's entry
into other agreements, such as the Financial Services Industry
Agreement (FSIA) on December 12, 1997, by which it signed away its right
to prevent foreign takeovers of Australian banks and insurance companies.
Already the largest shareholder of the ANZ Bank was Chase Manhattan
Nominees (Rockefeller, 11.6%). Briefly, the strong economies of the once-sovereign nations of the
once-Christian West have been sacrificed on the altar of socialism. In
paintaking, meticulous, chronological detail, Lee shows how NAFTA and
GATT, the WTO, the IMF, and the thousands of other international
bureaucracies fulfill Joseph Stalin's 1936 Comintern conference agenda
to establish "regional groupings" that would eventually
amalgamate into a one-world order. On the heels of economic controls come the so-called social legislation,
the anti-hate laws, the affirmative action laws, the cultural-diversity
requirements, and the thousands of pages of laws issued from United
Nation bureaucracies, and rubber-stamped in parliaments by legislators
who haven't a clue on what they are voting on. All of this is bringing an end to sovereignty and democracy in the
country. Globalism has resulted from the apparent union of capitalists
and socialists as something new, a compromise, a third way between
capitalism and socialism. And what is globalism? Gobalism is Global Governance to bring in the
One-World Government. There are literally dozens of books written on the subject of global
governance. But none of these books were written by conspiracy theorists.
They were all commissioned by the United Nations or groups associated
with it, like the Club of Rome Non-Government Organizations (NGOs),
which are now regarded as legitimate institutions of Global Governance,
even though their power has no democratic basis. All of those books
concern the establishment of a new world order in which the sovereign
nation state is replaced with a global order of interdependent member
states under a new form of Global Governance. The real third way would be the application of the Social Credit
doctrine of C.H. Douglas, which would give back to the country its power
to create its own debt-free money. Then every Australian would be able
to live according to the progress of their self-sufficient country with
all of its natural resources and capacity to produce. The people of Australia should make those around them aware of the errors
of globalization and of the United Nation's world laws to bring about a
total control on each nation and individual. Let us pray to God for the
grace and courage to stand up against this world takeover. Pierre
