WEIRD POLITICAL PAMPHLET IN DARWIN

THE QUEEN and her consort were blamed for suspension of the live cattle exports to Indonesia in an offensive leaflet placed under windscreen wipers in Darwin during the community Cabinet meeting at Palmerston led by PM Julia Gillard. Somehow, the local media failed to pick up the fact that the bizarre circular had been distributed at the meeting .

Put out by the right wing Citizens Electoral Council of Australia , based in Melbourne, it contained a drawing depicting Sir Robert Menzies kissing the Queen’s derriere , with John Howard, Paul Keating, Bob Hawke, Kevin Rudd and Julia Gillard queued up behind . In a crazy rant , in keeping with the Coalition’s scare campaign, raving shock jocks and News Limited’s relentless anti- government “ crap” , it charged that the British Crown had “ordered” the Gillard-Greens coalition to “cull” the population of Australia . PM Gillard is further charged with “dutifully” carrying out the "genocidal depopulation directives" of the Queen and Prince Philip’s World Wide Fund for Nature .

It reads like the fanatical diatribes which flood American TV, radio,the print media ,even churches , where the political atmosphere has been poisoned to such a degree that the economic and social cohesion of the nation is being torn asunder,with dire consequences for the world.

CEC,described as being of the far right and fascist , evolved out of the extreme right wing Australian League of Rights led by Eric Butler and is affiliated with the LaRouche Movement headed by the American Lyndon LaRouche , the conspiracy theorist. .

In the 2007 federal election , CEC received a total of 27,879 first preference votes in the lower house and 8677 in the upper house, both down 0.14 percent on 2004 .In the Northern Territory Senate count where a quarter of their vote came from , CEC received 2.01 percent of the vote . So it would seem that the NT is regarded as fertile ground for potential followers and when you see so many wacko letter writers to the editor and listen to the university station ranters it is no wonder.

The CEC newspaper New Citizen ran the bizarre line that Martin Boyd, under the control of brainwash specialists for British Intelligence’s psychological warfare bureau , had carried out the "orchestrated " Port Arthur massacre, shooting dead 35 people and wounding 37 others .
