Subject: The New Peace of PAC AMERICANIA
This was received in email from the United States. I have severely edited
it for length and to remove numerous examples that pertain only to the
Americian situation. I believe that the message is however well worth
reading to its end. If you ever wanted to know why you need to a right to
bear arms this is it : for there is a PAC AUSTRALIANIA coming to you
brought free of charge by the forces of the NEW WORLD ORDER.
(Source details are to be found at the end of this article)
===========================================
INTRODUCTION
============
In the battle between freedom and bondage, the forces of freedom have lost.
A century of wall-to-wall collectivist propaganda in the government youth
camps ("public schools") has finally done its job.
The founding fathers of this nation made a close study of the Roman
republic, and the way that government degenerated into despicable tyranny.
They attempted to craft for us a system which would prevent the
concentration of powers into a central government--a "new Caesar"--warning
us that it was vital that the military power be retained in the hands of a
citizen militia (Roman citizens could initially be identified by the fact
that they, and they alone, wore swords), rather than in any mercenary
"special militia" or standing legion owing personal loyalty to their
general or the current Caesar--like today's BATF, FBI, or National Guard.
THE LESSON OF HISTORY
=====================
By the time Rome fell, tax rates were so high that farmers were literally
selling their daughters into prostitution to meet the onerous levies that
supported the decadent court. In the provinces, the 5th century's torrent
of Huns and Visigoths were probably widely greeted in much the same way the
Ukraine initially welcomed Hitler's troops as liberators in 1941, figuring
nothing could be worse than Joe Stalin.
Then descended upon the western world the appropriately named Dark Ages,
with their stultifying codes of political and religious orthodoxy, enforced
by the inquisitor and the stake.
Freedom of religion, or of the press? Even minor variance from the one
accepted faith would get you burned after your tongue was torn out, and
peasant literacy was itself grounds for suspicion of sorcery--priests
graciously provided by the landed class would read you anything you needed
to know out of the Bible.
Property rights? The medieval serf worked his master's land and lived in
his master's cottage entirely at the baron's whim. The master of the castle
could even descend and impregnate the peasant's wife on the peasant's
wedding day, if the urge struck m'lord.
WHY WHY
=======
Because for a thousand years, no village of peasants with their scythes and
pitchforks could stand up to a mere handful of the helicopter gunships of
that time, the mounted knight in his coat of mail.
Only the landed gentry could afford a warhorse and a suit of armor. Let
even three or four of these medieval equivalents of the Abrams tank enter
your village, and the peasant's only hope was to drop to one knee and plead
for his life. Take the cattle, take our daughters, use them as you will ...
Why did this ever change? Do you think it's because the guys in charge just
got tired of having it all their way?
HOW IT CHANGED
==============
Of course not. This changed in the mid-1400s, at Crecy and Agincourt, when
mere English commoners found they could destroy the cream of the French
aristocracy--drowning thousands of armored noble knights in the mud beneath
their own toppled horses--by dint of one simple, technological advance: the
Welsh longbow, an inexpensive weapon best deployed by large gangs of
anonymous peasants.
The French considered this so barbarous they threatened to cut off the
index and middle fingers of any English archers they caught, rendering them
incapable of using their dreaded bows. The Brits responded by defiantly
waving these two fingers in the air--or sometimes just one of them.
Far from banning them from bearing arms, by the 16th century English law
actually required commoners to practice their archery at least one weekend
per month, to remain ready should the king need them.
Suddenly--coincidentally?--the "rights of Englishmen" began to be
interpreted to mean the rights of commoners under the law, not just the
rights of nobles, as envisioned in the Magna Carta of 1215.
This new state of affairs reflected the new reality of the field of battle,
where commoners could and did dictate terms to defeated monarchs--even
going so far as to behead the King of England in 1649.
Can you imagine that? They cut off his head.
THE AMERICAN LESSON
===================
Of course, some lessons take a little time to sink in. Marching south from
Lake Champlain to the Hudson in the early autumn of 1777, Gentleman Johnny
Burgoyne sent out mercenary Hessian scouting parties to demand fodder for
his horses from the local peasantry.
The New York farmers watched the brilliantly-uniformed Hessians walk into
their farmyards demanding free food for the general's army ... and shot
them dead, sometimes wiping out entire detachments to a man.
This was unheard of in continental Europe, where most peasants were still
expected to know their place.
But things only got worse for Burgoyne's army, its morale sapped by the
heat, the humidity, the sudden storms, the bugs and the venomous snakes of
what Americans now consider the "resort district" of Glens Falls and Lake
George. (Thank goodness these wimps didn't find themselves in North
Florida--the
Yankees would probably have ended up owning Devon, Somerset, and half of
Wales.)
As the exhausted army and its overladen baggage wagons emerged from the
woods and climbed toward the open lands around Saratoga, a few isolated
bands of Yankee farmers in homespun took up position behind the trees, and
began "firing on the officers' persons."
THE KING IS TAUGHT A LESSON AS WELL
===================================
But few recall the first question that occurred to both King Louis and King
George when news of Burgoyne's surrender in October of '77 reached the
European courts:
Who in hell had Burgoyne surrendered to? Washington and the entire
Continental Army--excepting the aforementioned Gen. Arnold and a handful of
other officers in fancy coats--were in Philadelphia, withdrawing before the
successful (but finally meaningless) siege of Gen. Howe.
The answer--inconceivable to the kind of European mind that ordered the
band to play "The World Turned Upside Down" at Yorktown in 1781--was that
Gentleman Johnny Burgoyne had surrendered an entire British army to the
American militia, to nothing but a gang of New York and New England farmers.
THE LESSON FOR AUSTRALIA
========================
Is there a "control sample" that tends to confirm my thesis for why
commoners in America (and, to a lesser extent and until recently, places
like Australia and Western Europe) managed to throw off the chains of
feudal tyranny and become far more "free" in the centuries after 1500--with
all the advantages of economic, scientific, and technological progress with
which we're so familiar ... even if we've forgotten how they were won?
We are gathered now to inquire: Is America [read Australia as well] about
to enter a new era of freedom, or a new era of bondage? Suppose the
president of the United States got fed up tomorrow with some band of
recalcitrant rebels operating in your city. For our purposes (as well as
for his), it doesn't matter whether he chooses to condemn these folks as
drug dealers, home schoolers, child abusers, tax resisters, or obstreperous
gun nuts who refuse to turn in their "murderous, paramilitary" arms as
ordered.
The president orders the National Guard and the FBI's thousand-strong,
black-shirted paramilitary "Hostage Rescue Team" into your city to clean
out the pockets of "antisocial, bandit resistance" under an emergency
decree of martial law.
HOW WILL YOU FARE ??
====================
Quick: With the weapons you have on hand, and the degree of organization
currently maintained between yourself and your neighbors (envisioned by our
founding fathers as members along with you of your local militia), is your
ability and likelihood to resist this unconstitutional incursion on your
liberties by a few thousand professional soldiers armed with tanks,
helicopter gunships, and fully-automatic M-16 rifles more closely akin to
the condition of the citizen farmers who met General Burgoyne at Saratoga,
armed with weapons better than the standard British army issue musket--that
is to say, of a "well-regulated militia, necessary to the security of a
free state," whose right to keep and bear military style arms (like the
house holders of today's free and peaceful Switzerland, each expected to
keep a loaded fully-automatic machine gun in the closet) has never been
"infringed"?
Or would your circumstance be more closely akin to that of those medieval
peasants we were discussing, whose only chance of survival was found in
laying down their scythes and pitchforks, dropping to their knees, and
begging the king's soldiers for mercy?
THE WRITER PONDERS
==================
I do not sit down today to write a call to arms. I am 50 years old, and I
believe I have learned a few things.
I do not see in 96 percent of the population of this nation today the
slightest hint of the smoldering fire of liberty that burst forth to
illuminate our ancestors' struggles in 1775 or 1861.
Yes, the final battle of a 70-year campaign is about to be joined. But I
believe it is my duty to the truth to report that this battle is, for all
practical purposes, already lost.
When they are done registering all Americans' firearms--rendering them
expensive and hard to acquire and embarrassing to carry, arresting those
who refuse to store pistol and magazine and ammunition locked in separate
safes in separate rooms until their worth to defend us against jackbooted
SWAT teams busting down our doors in the middle of the night is reduced to
nil--when they finally get around to sending out the notices (oh, whoops,
they've already done so in England, in Australia, in Staten Island, and now
in California) that we have to turn in the most "dangerous" ones, first the
deadly semi-auto "assault rifles" with their flash hiders and bayonet lugs,
then the "cheap Saturday Night Specials" that "can only be used for crime,"
then the dangerous long-range scoped "sniper" rifles ...
Yes, then I suspect... it's going to take the federals about as long to
clean us out as it took the British Army to stamp out the last traces of
Highland culture after the Battle of Culloden in 1746--after which our
descendants can look forward to a couple centuries of the same kind of
"liberty" the old-time Scots could tell you about, banned from even wearing
their tartans or speaking their native tongue in public.
If I am not an old man yet, I soon will be. I am 50 and sometimes my back
hurts. Glory in war is a young man's dream. I harbor no illusions about the
"romance" of scampering about in the hills, sleeping on rocks or snow,
dodging the gunships for as many days or weeks as I'd be likely to last
before I either surrendered to the first enemy smart enough to offer me a
hot bowl of soup and a shower, or else managed to take a few with me in a
glorious suicidal charge against some meaningless rural roadblock ...
precisely the way the real-life Crocodile Dundee died, last year--newly
banned rifle in hand--in North Australia.
But frankly, what I now pray daily is that I may find the courage to
somehow contrive to lie among the fallen by the time our Great
Disarmament--now underway since 1934--is finally done.
THE NEW AGE PEACE
=================
Because after it's over, a kind of "peace" will indeed descend on this land
... broken only by occasional paroxysms of cryptic violence, unintelligible
to the common class whose funerals will be dismissed as "light collateral
damage," as the armies of the various warlords vie for control in
Washington City.
(Fans of "democracy" needn't worry--I'm sure they'll continue the tradition
of requiring the unarmed peasants to vote every four years to confirm the
legitimacy of whatever warlord is currently in power.)
All the beauty pageant contestants are taught to wish for "world peace."
But in fact, freedom and progress have ever developed only in lands of
ongoing struggle--albeit shot and shell can usually be supplanted, between
pirate suppression raids, by the "creative destruction" of healthy
commercial trade and competition: war under a different guise.
But that's not the kind of robust, chaotic, pluralistic "peace" the victim
disarmament gang have in mind. No, their vision of a peaceful world has
been common to Caesar, to Stalin, to Hitler and Mao: a world at peace ...
BECAUSE NO PEASANT DARES RISE FROM HIS KNEES AS THEY RIDE PAST.
We used to wish each other health and long life. Join with me instead, now,
in wishing that we do not survive to see the culmination of this new Pax
Americana.
==========================
That is the end of the Americian Story. But I will use it to put into
perspective an email that I received from a Queenslander. He stated,
"Surely I was not the only person to see the interview by Tracy Grimshaw,
the new Australian Manager of MANPOWER that has just opened its local
branch, this interview took place at 8.15 am on the To-Day Show on Tues
30th. May
MANPOWER is the newly-appointed Global Recruitment Agency forthwith to be
used by the Australian Army to select new recruits for their ranks, as our
Army will no longer be responsible in recruiting their own personnel
MANPOWER will now be the worldwide recruitment agency for all the armies
globally and is apparently an arm of the U.N, the interviewee stated that
selection of prospective army personnel will be as the result of intense
questioning , investigating and screening and that only those recruits who
display Global Interests at heart and a common belief and understanding of
Global aspirations will be allowed to join.
As a result this will produce armies of men of the right calibre and
identical beliefs to undertake the peace-keeping duties of armies of the
future, in other words, a staunch United Nations Army, totally committed
and dedicated to the U.N.cause.
It has since been revealed that MANPOWER is to also recruit for the Navy,
Airforce and the Federal Police.
If this recruitment is to be world wide we could be in big trouble, with
members of our forces sympathetic to the NEW WORLD ORDER would leave us in
an impossible situation.
WHY do you suppose our government is appointing this foreign company to do
the job that has always been done by our own forces?"
One reason, The National Watchman conjectures, is that they might have in
ten or fifteen years an army trained enough to shoot down Australian
citizens. You can add to this that the Australian army, which doesn't have
a budget to fire real bullets, has its own specialised training grounds for
urban warfare. Recently in Queensland it set up an operation to 'practice'
quarentine a whole town.
You should note that the United Nations are presently planning what they
call "world governance" (a future NATIONAL WATCHMAN UPDATE will detail
this) and this includes a world army. Recently the Australian Parliament's
The Joint Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs and Defence called for
submissions on,
"the increasing demand for and the changing nature of peacekeeping
operations; the implications for national sovereignty; the question of a
standing army for the United Nations; and International Criminal Court"
This is all part and parcel of the retraining of our soldiers before the
government send them to retrain you. That is the New Australian Army as
today, senior staff are being retrenched or leaving in droves to make way
for the new 'breed' of the 'professional New World Order' soldier. With
correlates with other actions of the corrupt New World Order puppets in
Canberra.
In 1997 our government gave Thailand $ 1.5 billion as a free gift and a
week later The Australian newspaper (15/08/97) details how Thailand was
going to purchase an aircraft carrier. Australia cannot afford an aircraft
carrier!
In May 1999 40 Chinese Air-Force generals toured all of Australia's air
defence installations in a nine day visit; they had direct meetings with
our most senior defence officials. Communist commanders were given,
according to the prestigious defence journal Asia Pacific Defence Reporter
(September 1999), information in official RAAF briefings on "policy and
planning, acquisitions, personnel, training, logistics, operations, static
displays, discussions with pilots, the layout of air bases, the readiness
of the ADF, the function of Australian northern bases and capabilities of
the F/18 and the F-111".
Since then China has implied that it would declare war on Australia if we
sided with the Taiwan in their attempts to remain separate from China. And
they have signed a defence pact with Communist Russia!
We gave Indonesia $ 1.5 billion in an economic bailout. We trained their
soldiers so they would be our friends! Only last year we were nearly at war
with them. How much blood when our Chinese 'friends', like Indonesian
playing Asia's style of politics, turn their back on Australia's helping
hand. Why do we not see or cry out ! Will you cry out when, in a future
time, in a war to be, steel produced by BHP in Asia comes home in the
bellies of Australia's sons ? The question that will haunt your future is
this, "HOW MANY DEAD AUSTRALIANS WILL IT TAKE TO CONVINCE YOU THAT OUR
POLITICIANS ARE CORRUPT?"
This ends this NATIONAL WATCHMAN UPDATE. Remember, the New World Order is
coming but there is time to prepare if you listen to THE NATIONAL WATCHMAN.
