The LaRouche cult received some media coverage due to serious allegations that its members were infiltrating, with some success, the conservative National Civic Council‘s national network, using similar tactics to those which saw it subsume Citizens‘ Electoral Councils some years ago. In recent years, members of the Jewish community in Victoria, ACT, Western Australia, Queensland and New South Wales complained about activities of LaRouchite propagandists distributing conspiracy theorist propaganda. It was particularly active on campuses and outside venues hosting Jewish community functions. The CEC's behaviour resulted in an attack on them in the Australian Senate, by National Party Senator Ron Boswell, who said in a speech in the Senate on 10 August 2004: "There is a CEC candidate running in North Queensland in the seat of Dawson who is already heavily advertising in the local media. I have had a look at the Australian Electoral Commission returns for 2002-03 and they show the total returns to the CEC as $1,462,703, while their media group, CEC services, had $271,592. They are well financed and able to mount these campaigns. Some of their more bizarre claims are that the world is controlled by an oligopoly led by the Queen and Prince Philip, who also control the drug trade, and that the Ku Klux Klan is controlled by the FBI. Mr Acting Deputy President, you would think that no-one would be able to support claims like that. Yet there are some people that are gullible and they do fall for it. I want to say this too. The CEC is totally anti-Semitic--possibly even more so than the League of Rights. Many people may have heard—I certainly have in rural Australia--that Martin Bryant was set up as a patsy at Port Arthur to bring more restrictive gun laws into Australia. Those are things that go round and should be absolutely debunked in this parliament. The CEC publication regularly features ludicrous and defamatory attacks on Jewish organisations and leaders such as Mark and Isi Leibler. They claim that the Australian defamation commission and the Australia/Israel and Jewish Affairs Council are protecting the world's financial oligopoly. In the past, the Leiblers have falsely been accused of being part of illegal and immoral activity, including having links to the drug trade and pornography. Again, that is a ludicrous claim. The CEC try to peddle their anti-Jewish propaganda in areas with large Jewish populations. They distributed pamphlets outside Jewish community centres when the Premier of Victoria was addressing the Jewish community. The subject was `A recent trip of Steve Bracks to Israel'. The CEC get a very minor vote--around 0.05, 0.06 or 0.07 per cent. But it is a vote they do not deserve. When you talk about Lyndon LaRouche and the CEC, it is where truth becomes stranger than fiction. (Extension of time granted) I made reference to the CEC being well financed and being able to support a political campaign. Already they are running television ads, and the election has not even started. But we ought to explore some of their fundraising techniques. They are taught by operatives from the LaRouche organisation in the USA and they raise most of their money through the use of younger members. They start by cold calling very vulnerable people, such as the elderly and the naive, with a prepared sales pitch and then they really work on them. 107
I know that we have a democracy and anyone is entitled to a stand in Australia. I support that. It is a free country and we have a democracy that allows everyone to stand up and present themselves to the people. But I do say that, when organisations like this present themselves, they should be exposed. They should be exposed for the fraud that they are. I do not know how people actually fall for this stuff. I believe the group is more of a cult than an actual political party. We have seen the CEC exposed on television on numerous occasions, but still it gets out there. The people who actually stand for seats are brainwashed. They stand outside and solicit names on petitions. Let me say this: it deserves absolutely no support from anyone in the Australian electorate". In the period in review, it is notable that groups such as One Nation branches, The Strategy newspaper and the quasi-Christian ―Bible Believers‖ republished and/or promoted LaRouche cult material. 6.8 Bible Believers One of the most visible of the plethora of eccentric pseudo-Christian groups in Australia is the "Bible Believers". For a number of years Anthony Grigor-Scott of Sydney's western suburbs maintained a bulletin board on which he published long antisemitic tracts. He has also been a long-term participant in discussions on unmoderated newsgroups. He has an internet site which includes a huge volume of antisemitism, including The International Jew: The World's Foremost Problem, A.H. Ramsay's The Nameless Jew and Zimmunism, which quotes extensively from League of Rights texts in an attempt to prove that "the Jewish race operates" by "hypnotism which has been exercised over the whole world". A complete copy of The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion available on his home-page. Grigor-Scott has also operated a weekly radio program, on a low frequency local station, in which he delivered antisemitic sermons. Samples of his material in the period in review included: In Newsletter 547 3/10/08: Anthony Grigor-Scott claimed ―Pharisaism is Judaism, which so distorted God's unchanging Word it became of no effect to the people, causing them to reject and crucify their Messiah on the hour, day, month and year foretold by Moses and Daniel. These people introduced the "Big Lie" of Babylonian trinitarian religion into Christendom when they organized the Universal Roman state religion we know as Catholicism. As Christ in Hosea called Israel and Judah whores because of their false worship, Christ in John called Roman Catholicism "the great whore" for its false worship (Hosea 1:2; I Corinthians 11:3; Revelation 17:1 – 18:20).‖; ―With respect to the US presidential elections and the coming one world government you should read Protocol 10. ―; In an item: ―Neturei Karta: Ahmadinejad wants Peace― he commented: Israel wanted to bomb Iran this year theaustralian.news.com.au. The once Christian Western nations with their Hegelian sham democracies and Zionist bankster-controlled equivocating politicians would do well to have honest God-fearing men such as Iraniam(sic) president Ahmadinejad in their place rather than our self-called hypocrites.‖ Newsletter 548 10/10/08 included a Feature article by Gilad Atzmon, which asserted ―in crumbling America, a super power that was toppled by policies set by Wolfowitzes and Greenspans, the Elders of Zion is a devastating reality. You really do not want to go there, you really do not want to be the one who brings it up. . . However, the Elders of Zion is just one Zionist weapon. Once it is brushed aside the 108
