Fascist Iemma’s “Public Funding” scam targets you!

New South Wales ALP Premier Morris Iemma is currently crusading to ban all private donations to political parties in favour of public funding, to “stop corruption”. Are the major parties at the top really stinking cesspools of corruption? A cynic might counter, “Does a wild bear poo in the woods?” But the actual target of Iemma and the financiers who own him is you. Here’s how it works.

Beginning with Hawke and Keating in 1983, the major banks and corporations poured billions into both the ALP and the Coalition. In return they received hundreds of billions in privatised former public assets, in public-private partnerships (PPPs), and other loot through the ALP/Coalition’s savage orgy of deregulation, privatisation and free trade. Now they want you, the taxpayer, to pick up the tab. They know that—unlike Iemma’s real target, the mass-based Citizens Electoral Council (CEC), the associates of the American statesman and physical economist Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr.—the ALP/Coalition are basically shells, which would not survive for a minute without corporate or public funding. Therefore these corporations are already now starting to withhold contributions in order to ram through public funding.

Italy’s fascist dictator Benito Mussolini explained the essence of what is now afoot in Australia in his 1932 manifesto, The Doctrine of Fascism: “Fascism should more appropriately be called corporativism because it is a merger of state and corporate power.” The CEC’s just-released explosive exposé, “British Empire Terrified of LaRouche in Australia”, documents how corporativism has taken over here under the rubric “competition policy”, and how it is all run out of London via Britain’s imperial Hill Samuel bank, now known as Macquarie.

Hawke and his successor Keating set up “competition policy” via the 1993 “Hilmer Review”. Fred Hilmer was then a board member of Macquarie, the chief beneficiary of competition policy. The review set up two institutions with dictatorial powers: the National Competition Council (NCC) and the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC). Both were chaired, in turn, from almost the outset until today by Graeme Samuel—a longtime top executive of Hill Samuel/Macquarie! Look at NSW today, for an example of how this works.

Mr. Public Funding Iemma’s stated reason for privatising NSW’s $15 billion electricity industry is to finance an extension of Macquarie’s M4 motorway. His predecessor, the pro-privatisation Bob Carr, now gets $500,000 per year as a Macquarie “consultant”. Paul Keating, whose little sister has held a lucrative job with Macquarie, is twisting arms to ram through this privatisation, while Keating himself chairs a subsidiary of London’s arch-privatising Lazard Frères bank. Lazard has fascist connections dating from before World War II, and the bank’s top official Felix Rohatyn helped install the fascist Augusto Pinochet in power in Chile—who then privatised everything in sight.

Aside from targetting the CEC, these British corporativists figure that now that free trade, privatisation, etc. are so entrenched in the “major” parties (and in the popular mind), and the process is so far advanced anyway, “Why should we keep paying these Lib/Lab clowns? Make the public do it.” And, as the CEC exposé documents, these same British-run banks and corporations and their co-thinker allies in Federal and State governments are now devastating and looting our local councils through amalgamations.
