Last weekend, supporters and guests joined founding members Craig and Noelene Isherwood, Maurice Hetherington and Robert Butler to celebrate the 20th birthday of Australia’s leading independent political party, the Citizens Electoral Council, which was established in central Queensland in 1988 to fight for the national sovereignty and development of Australia.
In 1991 the CEC began its philosophical association with American statesman and physical economist, Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr., which provoked the British imperial enemies of the CEC to wail that “LaRouche would become the most disruptive political force ever seen in Australia”.
Unlike the hundreds of other political parties which have come and gone over the last twenty years, the CEC has survived due to this association with LaRouche and his ideas, and its insistence on exposing the Australian nation-state’s real enemy—the British Empire.
The CEC has built its fight for true sovereignty on the foundations of Australia’s many great forebears who identified the same “money power” we are facing today.
Federal MP Frank Anstey, a member of King O’Malley’s Torpedo Brigade which conspired to create the Commonwealth Bank, summed up Australia’s situation: “Australia is a mere appendage of financial London, without distinct economic existence ... These men constitute the Financial Oligarchy. No nation is permitted to hold dominion, and no ’democracy’ can be aught but a name that does not shake it from its throne.”
The struggle of these great leaders, from John Dunmore Lang to John Curtin, to build a true republic, was premised on the American Revolution’s recognition of the central principle of the individual right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
Only protectionist policies, which became known as the American System of Economics, as opposed to the British free-trade model, were able to secure these rights. (Order the DVD “1932” to find out why.)
As numerous, even “major” political parties, like the Nationals and the Democrats, collapse into oblivion, the CEC continues to forge ahead in the political battle to win true national sovereignty, and establish the common good as the principle of government.
In the immortal words of John Dunmore Lang: “In one word, nationality, or their entire freedom and independence, is absolutely necessary for the social welfare and political advancement of the Australian colonies. Give us this, and you give us everything to enable us to become a great and glorious people. Withhold this, and you give us nothing.”
