In extensive coverage beginning on its front page‚ and continuing in an additional article‚ and in its lead editorial‚ Rupert Murdoch’s Weekend Australian today waxed hysterical that senior politicians in Australia might be listening to American statesman and physical economist Lyndon LaRouche‚ and to his Australian associates in the Citizens Electoral Council.
The nominal trigger for the barrage of articles was Senator Barnaby Joyce’s statement yesterday that “A default by the U.S. means complete economic collapse around the world and the question we have got to ask ourselves is‚ where are we in that?” And he got that “crazy” question from LaRouche and the CEC‚ lament Murdoch and Competition Minister Craig Emerson.
“The Rudd government and Murdoch media whores are wetting themselves over Lyndon LaRouche and the CEC today‚ because their carefully-constructed cover story about economic recovery is blowing apart‚” observed Citizens Electoral Council leader Craig Isherwood today.
“The issue here is the ongoing global financial crash‚” continued Mr Isherwood‚ “which threatens to bring down the City of London-centered British imperial monetarist system. And the question on the table now‚ is simple: will Australia go down with the sinking ship of globalisation and free trade‚ or will we look for a way out?”
“Though we disagree with Barnaby on many things‚ he at least has asked a useful question. The problem is‚ that neither he‚ nor anyone in the Opposition nor in the Rudd government has demonstrated that they have the slightest clue what to do about this economic collapse. And this collapse is not a ‘possibility’‚ or something which ‘might happen’‚ but is something happening right now. So if you want to know how we can save this country‚ I urge you to watch my 10th December webcast‚ which is devoted entirely to this issue. In fact‚ I am quite sure that my webcast helped trigger this wild tirade by that slimy toady for the Crown‚ Rupert Murdoch‚ and by the Minister for Rigged Competition-to-Profit-Corporate Giants‚ Craig Emerson‚” Mr Isherwood said.
As for sovereign debt defaults‚ the CEC National Secretary pointed out that such defaults are already taking place. “Look‚ Dubai has defaulted‚ 13 other countries in Europe especially‚ including the U.K.‚ as well as the United States‚ are universally acknowledged to be in real danger of default‚ and clowns such as Rudd‚ Emerson and Murdoch think that by lying from the same script about ‘recovery’‚ the Australian people will just ignore the rest of the world and continue to believe them?
“They’re all panicked‚ because they know that the entire edifice of free trade‚ globalisation‚ privatisation‚ deregulation and the rest of the City of London witches’ brew which started with Hawke and Keating‚ continued under Howard‚ and for which Kevin Rudd is nothing but an errand boy‚ is crumbling. And they know that LaRouche‚ and we in the CEC know exactly what to do.”
“The ‘old’ Labor Party in Australia—the greats like King O’Malley‚ Frank Anstey‚ Jack Lang‚ John Curtin and Ben Chifley called this British Crown-centered system the ‘Money Power’. They knew it was run from London‚ and fought against it for their entire lives‚ most notably in the founding of the original Commonwealth Bank.
“The only people with grounds for panic are the sell-outs who serve this Money Power”‚ Mr Isherwood charged. “For the Australian people‚ the collapse of the globalised monetary system is good news: we can dump the policies that have destroyed our industrial economy‚ and we can rebuild and reindustrialise.
“We should break from the free trade trap that is the British Commonwealth‚ and orient towards Lyndon LaRouche’s proposal for a Pacific-centred Four Powers Agreement between the U.S.‚ Russia‚ China and India‚ which has been given impetus by the recent groundbreaking economic cooperation agreements between Russia and China.”
Mr Isherwood declared‚ “Australia should work with these countries‚ on the economic development needed to recover from economic collapse and promote the welfare of the people: let’s work with India on developing a thorium nuclear power industry; let’s work with China on building very fast maglev train networks between our capital cities‚ on which China is leading the way. You’re only afraid of that‚ if you are working for something other than the interests of the people of Australia.
“Watch my webcast‚” he concluded.
