There is a saying among the south sea islanders: Know the roots and you will know the tree.
Know the tree and behold! It will answer to your cultivation.

History is the endless record of experiments; a series that cannot be broken and of which there is never complete specification nor adequate separation from a multiplicity of similar operations.
The movement of events cannot be arrested for examination and analysis, history shows and must show approximation upon approximation. Within itself each event appears to be complete and completed, it cannot be undone; but, as a part of a series which is one whole, what is so indeterminate as an isolated event? It seems conclusive, yet it is always moving on to fresh conclusions.

US election fraud allegations prompt calls for reform

Hand-counted paper balloting urged after many reports of irregularities around electronic system in Democratic primary.

My ego received some rather large dents when a couple of loyal readers contacted the editor complaining OnTarget for that week was ‘boring’.  After knocking a few of the dents out and recovering some semblance of equilibrium I thought a good deal about the matter and thought that I failed to get my message across as was intended.  So here goes… again.

The response is based upon an article which appeared in the OT Christmass issue of December 2004.  http://alor.org/Volume40/Vol40No49.htm

In “Releasing Reality” Eric Butler writes:
“One of the most illuminating statements made by C.H. Douglas, one which reveals his proper humility in the search for Truth, was that the rules of the Universe transcend human thinking, and that if the individual wished to live in a world of harmony, he should make every endeavour to discover those rules and obey them.”

It comes as a bit of a shock when one realises that at the last judgement Christ will judge us, not by our great exploits, not by our great ‘faith’ or ‘belief,’ not even for the number of convert ‘scalps’ we have ‘chalked up’, -- but by how we have treated our fellow man:
“I was hungry and you fed me; thirsty and you gave me drink; a stranger and you took me in; in prison and you visited me… Inasmuch as you did it unto one of the least of my brethren you did it unto Me.” Matthew 25.37.

One could say that has always been God’s purpose and policy for the ‘fruits of the earth’. His provisions are there to feed and clothe and house mankind. Put simply they are a means to sustain and maintain Life. 

Andrew Bolt's Blog:  "This is a political disaster. True, the buck should stop with the Australian Bureau of Statistics, and the Turnbull Government is not directly involved in the managed of this. Yet it will wear the political responsibility, and the price will be high."

Seems to me there are just too many bureaucrats running these systems.  Lots of theories but not much practical experience.

Reminds me of C.H. Douglas's comments on the International Bankers who think they can run the whole world:
Just because they deal in huge numbers within the banking system - they think they have the expertise to direct and run the whole world's other systems.

Reminds me of the joke about God giving this fellow permission to run the natural world for a year.  The fellow got everything right - except accounting for the wind.

Without the wind blowing the pollen and pollinating the flowers the trees did not bear fruit.  And guess what - no food to eat!

Australian people are having their debates and discussions stifled by the threat from the 'NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal for Homosexual Vilification' and the 'Racial Discrimination Act Section 18c' on several important political issues that will affect many generations to come: 'national security', 'immigration', the 'definition of marriage' and 'Aboriginal recognition in the constitution'. Paul Coleman in his book 'Censored: How European "Hate Speech" Laws are Threatening Freedom of Speech' shows the threat to free speech is not limited to locally grown authoritarians, but all the way up the halls of power.

Several important articles in the media report the problem of stifled debate.

WHAT IS THE CLIMATE CHANGE AGENDA?

Climate change has and will continue to be used as a political agenda by politicians and self interest groups or individuals for their own gain. We cannot allow scare mongering by people such as Tim Flannery, who make outlandish statements and are not held accountable. Climate change should not be about making money for a lot of people and giving scientists money. Lets know the facts and scientific evidence to make a well informed decision as to how best to look after our environment. 

Paying a carbon tax or an Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) is not going to wave a magic wand and stop nature changing the climate change. It will only make it harder for Australian families and businesses to make ends meet. We can address real environmental issues with legislation. Hitting struggling families and businesses with another tax has been designed to make some people a lot of money. Don't allow yourself to be misled.

LETTER TO MINISTER FOR THE ENVIRONMENT FROM BOSTON ISLAND S.A.
Minister for the Environment
The Hon. Greg Hunt M.P.
Parliament House Canberra
A.C.T. 2600

Dear Mr. Hunt
 I draw your attention to the letter published in "On Target", 4th April 2014, [the weekly journal of the Australian League of Rights] written by Malcolm-leaun Roberts.  His letter refutes the reasoning being advanced by you and your Government relative to climate change, global warming, carbon [sic] pollution, [sic], etc, and he challenges you to respond to a series of questions chief of which being you provide him with empirical scientific evidence of your proof of “human induced global warming."

His published letter is in response to a letter sent by you to him.  Your Reference No: MC13-001921.

Thought  for the Week: https://alor.org/Volume50/Vol50No22.htm

6 June 2014
Remember I have already lived in your future and it didn’t work:  It is really puzzling to me that having just buried one monster “the Soviet Union” another remarkably similar one “the European Union” is being built. 

Next Tuesday night (9 August) is 2016 Census night – where we are required by law to answer all sorts of questions to help governments make decisions about such things as public transport, housing, education and hospitals.
 
The religion question – and its implications for the funding of school chaplains and faith-based charities, as well as tax-exempt status for churches – is all important.
 
The religion question is the only one that is not compulsory.  It lists six Christian denominations and three non-Christian religions, with a space for “other” – but for the first time, “No religion” is the first option.
 
That was the result of a quiet campaign by the Atheist Foundation of Australia three years ago. They hope that putting “No religion” at the top before any other option, they would win the “donkey vote” – and ultimately force governments to end any subsidy or recognition for the huge amount of public good done by faith-based community organisations.
 
They have also mounted an advertising campaign in supermarket car parks and elsewhere, urging people to mark the “No religion” box.
 
The problem is compounded by the fact that many non-denominational Christians mark
“No religion” because they have faith in Christ, but don’t belong to a particular denomination.  
To them, “religion” means “denomination”.
 
What can we do?
 
We can:
 
·         Make sure we answer the religion question – by marking one of the six boxes for Christian denominations, or writing “Christian” or something similar in the space provided for “other” religion.
·         Send this email to other friends and family, encouraging them to do the same.
·         Pray – that the atheist campaign will fail.
 
May the Lord bless and guide you!

Michael Koziol from the Sydney Morning Herald reported this morning that: "One Nation Senator-elect Malcolm Roberts wrote bizarre 'sovereign letter' to former Prime Minister Julia Gillard"

http://www.smh.com.au/federal-politics/political-news/one-nation-senatorelect-malcolm-roberts-wrote-bizarre-sovereign-citizen-letter-to-julia-gillard-20160804-gqlesa.html

 
The “CLEXIT” Campaign (CLimate Exit) which originated in Australia was inspired by the Brexit decision of the British people to withdraw from the increasingly dictatorial EU bureaucracy. Clexit is spreading world-wide (16 countries already).
 

 Clexit aims to prevent ratification of the costly and dangerous Paris global warming treaty which is being promoted by the EU/UN and their green army.
 

 This war on hydro-carbon energy has already caused massive losses to western industry. If allowed to continue as envisaged by the Paris Treaty, economic depression will follow and all nations will suffer.
 

 We must stop this futile waste of community savings; cease the destruction and dislocation of human industry; stop killing rare bats and birds with wind turbine blades and solar/thermal sizzlers; stop pelletising trees to feed power stations designed to burn coal; stop converting food to motor vehicle fuel; and stop the clearing of bush and forests for biofuel cultivation and plantations.

Carbon dioxide does not control the climate. It is an essential plant food and more carbon dioxide will produce more plant growth and a greener globe.

PRINCE GEORGE VILIFIED
The British Council was founded to create friendly knowledge and understanding between the people of the UK and the wider world. They work in more than 100 countries, connecting millions of people with the United Kingdom through programmes and services in the English language, the arts, education and society. In these ways, the British Council says that it builds links between UK people and institutions and those around the world, helping to create trust and lay foundations for prosperity and security around the world.
 
SLUR ON PRINCE GEORGE
We are all used to members of the Royal family being crudely criticised by certain Australian republicans but the language of a staff member of Britain’s British Council beats even our republicans.  Angela Gibbins, a senior executive with the council, has taken to Facebook to refer to Prince George, who has just celebrated his 3rd birthday, as a ‘f****** d***head’. (Daily Mail - 29/7/2016)
 
In her savage Facebook rant — about little Prince George — she contrasts what she calls the ‘white privilege’ of his life with that of a typical three-year-old Syrian refugee and laments that the young Royal is living on ‘public money’. (Daily Mail - 29/7/2016)
 
As a matter of fact, neither Prince George nor his father, the Duke of Cambridge are paid from the public purse. But that is not the point. What is, is that a British Council official whose duty is to promote British culture and education has taken to the Internet to vent her warped ideology on the rest of the world.
 
The 52-year-old Angela Gibbins, who manages the British Council’s global property assets on a salary of £80,000 (A$140,000) a year describes herself as a ‘socialist, atheist and republican’.
 
The British Council is partly funded by the British taxpayer, so who is actually living on the public purse?
 
At only 3 years of age, Prince George cannot defend himself but we can and I urge you to write to the British Council to object to the vile language used by this self-described socialist, atheist and republican woman.

===========================

I have spent this past weekend going over several videos about Australian history. The first two are as relevent today as they were when originally produced in 1989 and 2001.

The Planned Surrender of Australia
ED Butler presents an historical picture of the destructive work of our politicians and elites in their deliberate efforts to destroy 'the lucky country'. He explains why philosophy (what you believe) is so important in the formation of the society in which you wish to live. The perversion of our Constitution, by judges who knew exactly what they were doing, to move us along the socialist (centralist) road. The alignment of our economy with alien trading blocks to remove our independence and self reliance, especially away from the Commonwealth.
He also walks you through Natural Law, which if you violate, will always demonstrate the truth of that law.

Seems a responsible move on the part of the Environment Defenders Office (Qld). If you are a Queensland farmer concerned about your water rights have a look at what this group is doing – and then judge for yourself.
“Qld farmers fear loss of justice if miners can take groundwater without licence,” reports the website of the Environment Defenders Office (Qld): 
EDO Qld says time is running out for the Queensland Labor government to stop controversial LNP water reforms that will strip farmers of their right to appeal proposed mine impacts on precious groundwater supplies, risking permanent damage to the state’s water systems (ABC Radio PM, Farmers fear Queensland water reforms, Wednesday 20 July).
 
With reforms to water laws due to be debated in Queensland parliament as early as next
month, EDO Qld solicitor Revel Pointon said new information provided to Central Queensland grazier Bruce Currie indicates that he and other farmers stand to lose legal rights to challenge grants of groundwater water to mining companies.
 “Our office has been approached by farmers concerned about a permanent loss of vital water supply unless the government steps in and scraps the LNP laws to give statutory rights to associated water to mining companies,” Ms Pointon said.
With amendments to the Water Legislation Amendment Bill 2015 expected soon before Parliament the Government has an opportunity to protect our farmers, their objection rights and local ecosystems…”

Environmental Defenders Office Qld (EDO Qld) is an independent community legal centre, empowering the community to use the law to protect the environment.

As events are unfolding in Turkey, it appears the leaders there were aware of the planned coup and had their own plans ready to immediately remove opposition to their power base, thus causing Turkey to fall into a dictatorship.  It is noted those arrested appear to be mostly political, military and judiciary people. 8 weeks from the resignation of the Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu to a dictatorship by the President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

A similar event occured, using legal mechanisms available at the time, in Germany to do the same. I have placed a wikipedia timeline of this 1933-34 event at the bottom of this post.

How many Australians understand the importance of their Constitution and its Common Law roots?
This article is intended to introduce some thoughts on the importance of our nation’s Constitution and Legal systems.

Written quite a number of years ago, Hewlett Edwards takes us back into British history where the direction of the British peoples was dramatically altered and the foundational Constitutional concepts were being lost to sight.

I WENT AND HID THY TALENT IN THE EARTH
by Hewlett Edwards
Martin of Patteshull, Dean of St. Paul’s: William of Raleigh, Bishop of Winchester; Henry of Bracton, Archdeacon of Exeter Cathedral.[1] These and those around them (1154-1272 ) were the formulators of Common Law, unique and of England.

Continuing over generations this formulation did not consist merely in the redrafting of something which existed, or the devising of something new. Such men were not isolated intellectuals detached from their own time and generation but were the outcome of age-long Christendom.
First, what they had behind them in their great work was Christian tradition and its interpretation in Canon Law, second immemorial custom, slowly acquiring the weight of law; and third Natural Law which, as Stephen Langton said, is binding on Princes and Bishops alike, there being no escape from it.

Over the last week, political events around the world have highlighted again how vitally important active engagement in the political process is.
Britain has voted for BREXIT, causing the then Prime Minister to resign, but what is more bizarre is that it appears the Murdoch press has been instrumental in influencing the outcome of his replacement, with no vote of the party membership (as per the party constitution), simply a vote by those party representatives in Parliament (super-delegates). This extraordinary power was previously demonstrated, as mentioned in previous articles, when Tony Abbott was replaced by Malcolm Turnbull two weeks after Murdoch described Australia as ungovernable.

The other significant event that has highlighted the fragility of the Republic of Turkey, has been the resignation of the Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu seven weeks ago, the military coup and now the purging of the military and arrest of thousands of judges and prosecutors. This places the president Recep Tayyip Erdogan as absolute ruler. It is not necessary to draw a longbow  to see who benefits from the situation in Turkey.
