Direct Democracy and the party or the person in AusVote25 (P#28)

Direct Democracy has operated in Switzerland since 1848, providing four pre-determined referendum dates a year (1st of February, May, August & November), upon which referenda can be held – after being initiated by either politicians or the people. This allows legislation already passed to be vetoed. The spectre of potentially having to face that sort of public accountability quarterly, restrains both ideological abuses of governmental power and the shadowy forces that circle the government honeypot, jostling for control and the money that flows from it. No referendum is held if no issues are raised. This forces good governance in the interests of all the people. Without Direct Democracy, the Representative Democracy we have in Australia is just a step along the road to totalitarianism, as it was for Hitler’s Nazism in 1933, and as it is for New World Order’s (NWO) communism now. Currently, the people are effectively disenfranchised between elections, held hostage by whoever has gained power. That’s why Representative Democracy is so susceptible to totalitarianism. It only needs good, ideologically compliant media/ PR/ brainwashing, all following the same ‘trusted’ source, to bring it about.

In Australia, there was significant momentum for Direct Democracy in the early 1990s when MP Paul Terry and agricultural activist Jeremey Lee very actively campaigned for it. This 1991 video fully explains the concept from 1:15:35 on for 17 mins.

Direct Democracy puts the people in the Rockefeller position of not caring who is in government, without the people needing to first regain control of the money supply of their nation. It stops our servants turning themselves into our masters/ rulers.

I put the case in my Substack post ‘Bay v AHPRA – Avoiding administrative coups’ for the minimum threshold number of signatures to trigger a referendum to be set at 0.1% of the population = 26,000 people for Australia. This is well above the level of triviality and sufficiently difficult for any single person to reach, without pushing it into the realm of organisation that only well established and well-funded political parties could reach. Australia is large and sparsely populated, making it more difficult to organise and reach people personally, and so a higher number would be less appropriate for our geography and distribution.

Politics is about power, not principle. Principle is completely unnecessary, albeit that it can be useful for gaining or holding power. It is especially useful in distracting attention away from the real exercise of power, getting us so indignant, confused and preoccupied, that we start fighting each other. This just provides cover for the real enemy – those seeking or holding personal power, to continue stealing from us in creative new ways that we haven’t seen before. It’s standard Roman divide and conquer/ espionage stuff. We aren’t schooled in it, so we keep falling for it, labouring under the illusion/ delusion that we actually have some control over the things important to the real power when we don’t. We just have control over the distractions that are trivial to power, such as the party versus person question – another conundrum the coercive control system we live in throws up at us to keep us confused, divided and conquered. The really important thing is ensuring a population doesn’t revolt while it’s being fleeced/ disadvantaged/ dispossessed or disposed of.

If we play only a principle game, we’ll get horsewhipped every time by those playing a power game, and we won’t even realize a parallel game is going on in a field we don’t even know we’re playing in. Sure, we need to maintain our basic principles, so we too don’t get induced or goaded into acting psychopathically, with ends justifying any means, which is where the divide and conquer paradigm puts us. But we also need to become aware of and deal with the real power game of population control, both physical and mental, so that we have at least some chance of strategically countering it.

For the 2025 Australian election, Dutton could conceivably end up worse than Albo. Without the protection by the people that direct democracy brings, our leaders can be helpless against the influence and coercive control they will be subject to. National leaders will be influenced, compromised or coerced, no matter who gets in. Communist, UN and WEF stooges (young world leaders) have penetrated everywhere, as Klaus Schwab himself has boasted. Besides, they may not need to be coerced or induced too much if they are already ideologically aligned and actually believe the WEF and NWO have benign intentions!

The only protection against government tyranny currently available to us is to keep changing our unaparty governments regularly, like dirty underwear, and give the balance of power in the Senate to freedom parties. Labor will just continue down the same draconian, totalitarian, spurious/ shallowly reasoned path, with its usual sanctimonious ideological certainty. The LNP will take the domestic lead from Trump and Kennedy that will hopefully facilitate much needed common-sense changes here but will also let the private sector get out of control, as is now happening in the US.

It would be good to see the LNP set about repealing all the draconian legislation and political free speech restriction that Labor has passed (both State and Federal). This has been done under the smokescreen of gaslighting us about how it’s for our safety and security. Of course, it was actually their own positions that they were really attempting to make safe by declaring all contrary data and conclusions to be ‘misinformation’. But the LNP will still be subject to its WEF mates, infiltrates and big business, so that’s probably too much to hope for.

So why would we opt for ongoing, continuing battles, just to give our politicians something to appear to be fighting for/ against when a slight tweak of the system, from Representative to Direct Democracy, could avoid so much of that?

We need our representatives to be mainstream enough to get elected, while either having or developing awareness of and a conscience sufficient to resist the totalitarian measures they will be presented with. The latter completely rules out any Labor candidates as the party will ostracize or expel them immediately if they don’t follow the party line – which they will have had little chance of determining due to its moralistically prosecuted, deceptive communist infiltration. The LNP doesn’t act with anywhere near the same ruthlessness or speed, so you can have a Christensen/ Kelly/ Rennick survive – until they get dis-endorsed for the next election, but they will at least still be there for their six-year term. So voting LNP at least provides a chance for something non-draconian to happen in the coming term of government, whereas voting Labor this time does not.

The major parties don’t stick up for their own founding principles anymore. The LNP no longer recognises communist subversion, having been browbeaten into taking on some degree of the Woke agenda, and Labor has ditched the workers in favour of UN globalization. So it’s a bit rich for them to be banging on about any principle, or expecting us to be loyal to them, let alone allowing ourselves to be gaslit into playing by rules they’ve long since abandoned. Labor tries to control things it shouldn’t and the LNP fails to control things it should.

People nevertheless vote for the stability that the major parties appear to provide, in terms of experience in handling the economy, international affairs and defence. Direct Democracy leaves both that view of stability and the major party system in place while putting them in their place – subject to the will of the people via potentially quarterly public reviews of their implementation performance, done by exception (no referendum is held if there’s no need). This is an entirely reasonable expectation.

The coming term is when things are really going to ramp up totalitarian-wise and come to a WEF crunch. The time to resist totalitarianism is now, as the next election cycle will be too late. It’s a merger of Klaus’s Nazi Fascism with (now Chinese) Communism. They’ll have Digital ID, CBDCs and 15-minute surveillance cities by then, locking us down and out of our supermarket food supply to quash any resistance against their stealthy New World Order administrative coup that’s in progress against all governments of the world. They’ll also have private sector monopoly control on all our government controlled, supposedly private, data by then, with control of the IOT and its capability to lock us out of our own refrigerators for wrong-think or wrong-speak. Labor seems to have absolutely no idea of this, whereas some within the LNP do.

This all seems to be happening at ‘warp-speed’ in the US with Elon Musk gaining control of governmental data systems under cover of Trump’s flurry of Executive Orders. Musk may appear benign now but there are no mechanisms for holding him to account for any accidental or deliberate misuse of his immense corporate power. His connections with Trump and China, as well as Europe, Vance, Soros, Thiel and Kurz, as well as with our Australia military establishments and electronic systems, as mentioned in my substack post Is betrayal imminent for the Fourth (Reich’s) Industrial Revolution/ world coup/ eugenics is a huge potential security vulnerability for Australia. The presence of our former Prime Minister and ‘Minister for everything’, well aquainted with system vulnerabilities, their means of access and the Robodebt scam, is another one. Kurz and the Chinese as well as the US could have access to all our sensitive civilian and military systems via Musk.

We all go along with inordinate governance requirements in bureaucracies we work in, but when it comes to international affairs and enormous contracts, we just accept big salesmen on a trust me basis, with no governance controls!?? And we rely on people who no longer hold representative office to keep operating on an assumed trust basis? We wouldn’t buy a used car in a car yard on a salesman’s ‘trust me’ basis, but major nationally significant purchases of IT equipment and data systems are just fine to buy that way??

My translation of all this locally to the Lilley electorate, where I stood for IMOP in 2022, is that a suitably principled person happens to have been endorsed by the party that gives the best chance of non-draconian decisions being made, namely the LNP. So I won’t be standing, but will be encouraging people to preference the LNP’s Kimberley Washington and support any freedom party fielding a candidate preferencing her.

For the Senate, I’ll be encouraging people to support and vote for any freedom party that is preferencing any/ all other freedom party candidates first, and the LNP ahead of all of Labor, Green, Teal or anyone else trying to look independent while preferencing Labor/ Green. In Queensland, that means putting Gerard Rennick, Malcolm Roberts and Tristen Triddy first, followed by any other lesser-known freedom party candidates who may run. Given their previous sterling service to truth and the spirit of democracy, and their track record of willingness to confront difficult issues regardless of electoral popularity, it would be an absolute travesty if both Rennick and Roberts don’t get back in. Please support them in doing so by ignoring major party preferencing and taking the extra few minutes to do the only slightly harder work in the ballot booth, numbering all 60, or however many there may be on the Senate ballot paper, in the above order. That’s the closest we’re likely to get to Direct Democracy in the upcoming election.

It is my view that all the freedom parties should have Direct Democracy in their party platforms as it is the best and simplest way of avoiding the tyranny they are all fighting against.
