Prince Charles in Australia: Anti-terror police powers deployed against Australian political party

On Saturday 14 November, members of the Citizens Electoral Council (CEC), a federally registered political party, were manning a booth at the annual Agricultural Show in Albany, Western Australia, to present their policies to the public, when a plain-clothed Federal Police officer, accompanied by five state police and security guards, swooped down on them. After grilling the activists, among them two 90-year-olds, in particular about the party’s “stance on Muslims”, the police served “move on” orders, demanding that they leave the city within an hour and a half and cancel any activity planned for Albany or Perth during the 13-15 November visit of heir to the throne Prince Charles to WA, upon pain of immediate arrest under anti-terrorism statutes. CEC Western Australia state secretary Jean Robinson, a frequent election candidate, was instructed that if she were not 25 kilometres out of Albany by 11:15am, when Charles arrived at the airport, she would be arrested. Additionally, 93 year-old CEC supporter and Albany resident Vincenzo Zumbo, a veteran of the anti-fascist resistance in Italy in WWII, was ordered to return home and remain there until after Charles and Camilla left at 4pm. Asked why these unprecedented, draconian measures were being applied, the police responded, “What happened in Paris is a BIG deal”, referring to the ISIS attacks in Paris some hours earlier, and said that these were measures for Charles’s security while visiting Western Australia.

In response, CEC National Secretary Craig Isherwood on 16 November issued the following statement from the party’s national headquarters in Melbourne:

“This is an utter fraud. Why didn’t the police apply these ‘anti-terror’ measures against the Australian Labor Party or the Liberal or National parties, all of which were represented at the Albany show? The CEC constituted no more of a ‘terrorist threat’ than those Establishment parties. We have been a national political party for 27 years and we and our policies are extremely well known in this country. And given that the CEC is the Australian wing of the international movement led by Lyndon LaRouche—which every man and his dog knows has had sharp political disputes with Charles and his family for decades—the police knew whom they were dealing with in Albany. The order for this outrageous intervention into Australian politics therefore must have either come from or been cleared by Prince Charles himself. Everyone knows that our security agencies, the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO) and the Australian Secret Intelligence Service (ASIS), are run by MI5 and MI6, respectively, who in turn report to the Crown. We are such a hot issue that the ‘locals’ would not have taken such an outrageous action on their own.

“If the police want to question someone about terrorism, why not start with Charles? As we and our associates internationally have documented, no one has done more than he to construct the apparatus of international terrorism, especially through his intimate connections with the Saudi and Qatari royal families. In fact, the board of his Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies is packed with such advocates, organisers, and/or financiers of international terrorism as Prince Turki bin Faisal. He and his royal cousin Prince Bandar bin Sultan, the two of whom were among only eight foreign royals invited to Charles and Camilla’s wedding, sponsored the rise of al-Qaeda and ISIS and have been named in lawsuits as having orchestrated and financed 9/11. We documented all this in presentations at the CEC’s 28-29 March 2015 international conference in Melbourne, ‘The World Land-Bridge. Peace on Earth, Good Will Towards All Men’. As just one example, when lawyers for the 9/11 families visited London in 2003 to investigate claims of Saudi financing of international terrorism, they hit a roadblock. As author Mark Hollingsworth reported in Saudi Babylon: Torture, Corruption and Cover-Up Inside the House of Saud: ‘Prince Charles’s relationships with prominent House of Saud members have created serious problems and obstacles to UK agencies investigating claims of Saudi financing of international terrorism, according to Special Branch sources.’

“For decades now, Britain has been known as ‘Londonistan’ among European and other national law enforcement agencies for its sponsorship of international terrorism. Most notorious was the role of the Finsbury Park Mosque in north London in the 1990s under the infamous Abu Hamza, whose personnel have been implicated in dozens of terrorist attacks including 9/11, the 7 July 2005 London subway bombings known as ‘7/7’ which killed 52 people and wounded another 700, and the January 2015 Charlie Hebdo massacre in Paris. Did MI5, MI6 and Scotland Yard not know what was going on? Abu Hamza himself testified in a US court that he had been working for MI5! (For more, see EIR Counterintelligence Director Jeff Steinberg’s address to the CEC’s March 2015 International Conference.)

“The reality, as LaRouche emphasised again in a public presentation on 14 November, is that international terrorism is directed by the British Crown for imperial purposes. These include eliminating sovereign nation states as has largely been done in Iraq and Libya and is planned for Syria; for mass population reduction; and to create the pretexts—as with 9/11—to establish fascist police states as the world plunges towards a new Global Financial Crash far worse than that of 2008. That includes in Britain itself, where the heads of MI5 and MI6 now issue one dire warning after another, and where the Crown and the City of London are threatened by the emergence of Jeremy Corbyn as the new Labour leader, by his anti-austerity policies and vow to split up London’s ‘Too Big to Fail’ banks through Glass-Steagall legislation.

“As for the treatment of CEC organisers in Albany, this is not the first time Charles has treated Australia as a royal family possession. As we demonstrated in our 11 November press release, forty years ago he and his mum directed the sacking of our popularly elected prime minster Gough Whitlam, and he has the nerve to be touring here on the anniversary of that event.”
