Thoughts For The Week.
“None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are
free. The truth has been kept from the depth of their minds by masters who rule
them with lies. They feed them on falsehoods till wrongs look like right in
their eyes.” ~ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.
Last year, I mentioned that Almanacs were traditionally obtained for
a New Year and predicted future annual events, foretelling tides, by the
movement of the moon and stars, they also used the stars prophesying peoples
horoscopes. In centuries gone by they were written by Old Moore, or Poor
Richard, Pseudonym for Benjamin Franklin and some were ascribed to Father Time
himself. I’m not that old, but I did foretell in the
1980’s the coming tyranny of obscene gun laws and won the reputation as
the Doomsayer of the firearm industry, until in 1996
it unfortunately all came true. For the preceding 16 years I wrote
articles in Lock, Stock and Barrel warning, alerting, organising, trying to
mobilise opposition to the forays from UN Civilian Disarmament, Academics such
as Prof Paul Wilson (creep)and Rebecca Peters (creep )
and the media all funded by Sorus’ foundations. So for less than a penny here
is Ron Owen’s Almanac for 2017.
Economic
Well first the bad news, as the new President Trump does the correct
thing for America and tear’s up the international trade agreements, the
USA economy and markets will gain considerably and as he spends more on
defence, again their economy will grow, so to will the US dollar but in doing
so will force the Australian dollar down. Australia needs to follow
suit to boost our economy. Our pudding headed bunch of
internationalist leaders, still think that a low Australian dollar is good
for our economy, and will keep importing cheap labour from abroad and
buying all manufactured goods off shore, which in turn drives our dollar
down further and our international debt grows immensely, again sending
our credit rating and dollar into the deep south. As we import all our shooting
equipment and accessories which have to be paid in foreign exchange rates,
prices will continue to increase. Only when our dopy leaders read a history
book and see how our leaders of a 100 years ago such as Henry Parkes and Good
Iron Mac, (William McMillen) established a workable solution to further
our economy without interfering in the exchange rate will they
understand. COMMONWEALTH OF AUSTRALIA CONSTITUTION ACT “Exclusive
power over customs, excise, and bounties. Sub Section 90. On the imposition of
uniform duties of customs the power of the Parliament to impose duties of
customs and of excise, and to grant bounties on the production or export of goods,
shall become exclusive.”
This economic philosophy was carried through by PM Andrew Fisher
(Member for Gympie) and King Of Mally MP who founded the Commonwealth Bank Act
of 1912 this made the Commonwealth Bank a bank of credit issue. This was very
successful as it saved the Federal government from borrowing from the
international owned banks and paying all revenue off the interest bill which is
the way it works today. The Commonwealth Bank was gutted by the Bruce Page
government in the early 1920s and we have been fleeced by the Big banks ever
since. They even own the Commonwealth Bank now. Still the Australian
governments of the 1920s till the 1960s built Australia’s industry and standard
of living to be one of the highest in the world by imposing tariffs on imports
and paying the revenue from that to exporters. That took the foreign exchange
problem out of the equation. Our exporters could afford to supply the best
prices in the world, and the high tariffs protected home industry and
encouraged companies such as Ford, General Motors, General Electric, Lysaght,
and Kraft to locate in Australia and export to Asia from here. Until, that is
regained our economy will continue to slide into a third world quarry.
Defence, Non Existent.
Most of us who are reading and thinking people, are aware that our northern
neighbours are countries that need our natural resources, yet do not need our
small western population. Our defence forces are weak, almost non-existent,
even though our dopy politicians throw billions of our taxpayer dollars into importing
high price defence equipment which is sometimes obsolete by the time we get it.
Common-sense should tell us that countries that spend big on defence research
and development are going to make sure that their country has the latest and
greatest and overseas sales to places like Australia are to keep the
productions and factories running with second rate products. If Australia
experiences a problem, because we have no quantity of ships or planes
our small continent would be isolated and we could not get replacements,
ammunition, or spare parts to continue. At any time the tiny island of
Singapore could invade us and hold us, they might be the best option as they
would be less likely to eliminates us all, as some of our other Northern
neighbours would surely do.
Australia sleeps again, and again it will be left up to
the little guys to save us from the mistakes of our sleeping leaders.
Our Industry.
This year again, there will be an increasing amount of Australians (more and
more ladies) will buy hunting rifles, shotguns and target rifle without
mentioning the real reason for their new interest in the sport of
shooting, survival and defending their families. They will all enjoy our
shooting sports, but all will want to keep their firearms close by. This phenomena
has to be encouraged, without exposing the reason as again these new
shooters increase our numbers. When they appreciate the impositions we live
under, this will bring even more power to our cause, not only in our voting
power but in forming networks to shape the future. We will have to sustain some
small losses to win a victory, but this year as international troubles increase
so to will our numbers increase, we are in the third final stage of our
campaign to win back our rights. In 2016 the worm turned in the world,
populations have discovered that the mainstream media has been lying to them
for years, internet media now has greater credibility than mainstream, internet
media is quicker and has the eyes on the spot, the mainstream takes the government,
or Sorus funded approach and then quickly has to correct and make excuses. This
will continue as the establishment has had the media power for so long that
they have not yet accepted the plain fact that its credibility is blown. We
have seen its destructive effects on One Nation, on the firearm industry, on
Brexit and the latest example on Trump. It’s not working and this coming year
the success of the past will form the foundation of the future. Youtube, Wikki
leaks, Facebook Twitter will be our victory battle ground.
Protest Against G Soros intervention in Macedonia.
The Worm Has Turned.
The whole western world is currently in peaceful revolt. 2017 will be the
end of one world and the birth of another, last year was the year for the
awakening of the people, this year will see the return of nation states. Since
our enemies have only one advantage, mainstream media power and their
shortcomings are numbered and we have only one disadvantage no mainstream
media outlets and our only advantage is power in numbers, in the past this has
resulted in putting the Anti Gun people in a dominating position, now we know
that the battle ground has to be fought with the internet media tools, or we
will always be in this inferior position of Subjugation (Slavery by another
name). We have to be involved, ‘If we do nothing, we may well lose
everything.’
On the world front after President Trump tears up the Trade
agreements which have betrayed the western world since they were duped into the
Lima Agreement. The UN having lost Israel and hopefully soon the USA, (Please
read my recent article on the United Nations http://www.foaa.com.au/general/
) then followed by Australia and every other free thinking western nation. Even
though China has claimed an area as large as the Japanese Empire’s Greater East
Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere of 1938 we can only hope that it does not have Japans
willingness to shed millions of lives to enforce it. The boundary encompasses
all of the major shipping lanes in the Asia Pacific and its southern border
takes in the offshore oil reserves of Brunei. If President Trump really wants
to clip China’s feathers and defend the interests of the Philippines that might
be why he is so obvious in holding out the olive branch to Mr Putin as even
Trump would not want to go to war with both of them at once. Of course we in
Australia might serve as a large US non floating aircraft carrier like in WWII,
but as our reduced capacity to defend ourselves makes us in-effectual, we may
end up being the meat in the sandwich. Either the Chinese, or the Americans
will drive their tanks here, or make it their battleground as no country would
want to have it out in their own country. If we have a problem with China, besides
having no Australian factories making toilet paper, which is another
reason why Bibles would sell at a premium, China makes our army uniforms and
our vehicles would come to a standstill with no car parts. ADI (Australia
Defence Industries, owned by ‘Thales’ a French company) annual ammunition
production would be shot away on the first day. Current US army figures
assess 300,000 rounds of .223 ammunition for each enemy killed in Iraq or
Afghanistan. Even four government factories in the USA could not cope and the
US Army had to order from IMI Israeli Military Industries. The message there is
to keep a good stock of ammunition, and always have the means of reloading at
hand. As one of Australia’s 2 million firearm owners you are the ‘Citizen Army’
Australia’s only deterrent and real hope.
Queensland.
On the State and National front its not as gloomy, due to 22 % of voters at
last years Federal Election voting against the Major Parties, the Orange By
Election when the Shooters Party took a Blue Ribbon seat off the National
Party, Brexit Results, Trump Results have caused large cracks to appear in the
hearts of the major parties. Nationals senators Bridget McKenzie and John
Williams voted with Liberal Democrat David Leyonhjelm in an attempt to overturn
the Turnbull government’s import ban on the Adler lever action shotgun.
Cabinet ministers Fiona Nash, Matt Canavan and Nigel Scullion abstained from
the vote, along with backbencher Barry O’Sullivan.
Labour Police Minister Bill Byrne was sacked because he lost the
first parliamentary vote on more restrictive changes to the Weapons Act
Regulations. This was ground breaking as for twenty years Nationals and
Liberals have voted with Labour to pile on further impositions on law abiding
firearm owners. With the Katter Party’s two votes, Labour lost the
resolution, the first time in living memory that a Queensland government lost.
At the COAG meeting the National Firearm Agreement decided to
re-categorise Lever Action shotguns from Category A to Category B for five
shots and to category C for seven shots. I believe that this
regulation change to the Weapons Regulations (Categories) which will come up
early in 2017 will also fail. If LNP with Katter’s Party, and the One
Nation member vote against it, (which Katter’s party have announced and
LNP seem to agree) then Labour will lose another resolution in the house and to
support the COAG and the National Firearm Agreement (which is supposed to be
uniform in every state, or fails) the Labour Premier Palaszczuk will have to go
to the Governor and call an election. This alone should ensure that the LNP
opposes the Lever Action re categorisation, but if its does not and instead it
votes with Labour on this subject, then the firearm owners, incensed by this
repeated betrayal will walk away in droves from the LNP into the welcoming arms
of One Nation. Shooters are fully aware that if it is allowed to stand, that
without any justification the government can change the category of lever
action rifles from Category A to category C then there is no bottom, no promise
after struggling to get a licence, struggling to get a Permit To Acquire,
having to suffer every indignant imposition and that’s not enough to be left
alone, is the straw that will break the camel back.
At present Labour could not win a chook raffle, but at the coming
Queensland election, One Nation or a coalition of One Nation and LNP and Katter
party will govern this state. Labour will shortly make and offer to the
Shooting Associations a proposal to try and get them to support the
Category change on the hope that this will smooth the LNP to vote with them.
The deal will be that everyone with a registered 5 shot lever action shotgun
will be awarded a new licence which will include a Category ‘B’ and
everyone with a 7 shot lever action will be given a licence which will include
a “C” so all will be able to keep them. Unfortunately they will
be unable to sell them, or dispose of them and will not be able to
pass them on to their family even when they die. Only a dealer
will be able to acquire them, but would be unable
to resell them, making them worthless. That has always been
referred to as a Grandfather Act and leaves the law abiding shooter with
property that he can shoot but has lost all its value. All this is an unwanted
precedent which they can repeat whenever the urge suits COAG or any of its
member states so it must be opposed.
So too is his Un-informed Gun Laws. Its take 20 year but I hope he
still lives to see them thrown out.
My best prophecy for 2017 is that One Nation will take out that line
in its current policy, “Current gun laws are adequate and should
remain unchanged.”
If it does not it will not get very far as it traditionally relies on shooters
to man booths and hand out for them on election day. This will force the LNP in
Queensland and the Nationals in NSW and Victoria to change its firearm policy
and begin the walk back to freedom. Still a long way off, but due to our
increased number of voters and internet media, the ‘Writing is truly on the Wall’
we are ‘defiantly’ in phase three.
To give an example of how to get involved please write to your local
papers, letter to the editor, ask candidate either individually or
separately ‘how they will represent the law abiding firearm owners’, ask
them in person or on face-book, or email or snail mail. If the 10,000 shooters
who received this email all contacted one candidate and just told them that
‘without some evidence of them supporting shooters, they and their
families will not vote for them’, that would be enough to change the direction
of the politicians. Trouble is, just a few of us have to carry the burden and
work harder for those who do nothing, but there again when we win, even though
we might never murmur a word we know that the glory belongs to those who worked
for it.
Please don’t take this final third stage of our prolonged war, too
lightly as this part might be the hardest part, as when we get them all elected
and in power, we then have to ensure that they carry out the instructions of
those whom they represent and not betray us like the Liberal and National Party
did in 1996. Remember Lots of Little Victories lead to Giant Victories.
