A reply to Mr. Steve Edwards
Tuesday, September 16, 2008
Mr Edwards takes exception to the reference to what the Kennett administration and their advisers did with the Victorian STO and OPA, insinuating I’ve cooked up a conspiracy theory and that he is otherwise mystified by this case:
“If you say so. But I’m still puzzled as to what any of this has to do with Jeff Kennett and his “criminal STO operation” that you keep mentioning. It’s bizarre to lump me into an all-encompassing conspiracy with a bunch of people I’ll probably never meet.”
Firstly, I didn’t lump him in with them, though he writes for one of the clunker tanks the Centre for Independent Studies. It’s rather plain to all readers other than Edwards what I wrote in citing the STO. The question that occurs is whether Edwards is being a tad mendacious.
To remind readers, one has investigated what was done with the STO, and the OPA, and how they operate. One has documented, what one has reported to date (and one has more material to write up). It is based on four years of archives that were delivered to me by sources, and oral evidence from those who have extensive experience of what is involved. Moreover, what the STO and OPA are doing is known throughout Brackistan in law firms, accounting firms, real estate agents, and auction houses. Some readers will recollect the case of Jennifer and Peter (yes one must continue writing it up), and the case is in its closing stages this year.
Jennifer and Peter have been put through a kafkaesqaue nightmare. They fought back and have reversed many of the Government’s actions against Jennifer. Many Victorians have not been as fortunate as this. The Brumby-Bracks Cabinets have closed the few tiny gaps in the criminal “Acts of Parliament” by which victims can reassert their rights, their freedom, reclaim their property, and diginity.
What was done with the STO and OPA and how they operate was summarised in:
‘The Right’, “the dog did not bark” and refuses to bark. Here’s why.
Here we reiterate some telling statements:
Kennett is no genuine free market Liberal. He himself declared recently, as advice to NSW Premier Iemma, privatisation means extracting greater revenues. That was the whole thrust of privatisation, taxing Victorians and not founding utilities as genuine free market entities by efficiently serving customers and thus lowering prices.
‘Privatisation’ is also rooted in the fiction of perfect competition and purveyed as free market economics. ‘User pays’ is an extension of it.
“User Pays”: The Executive taxes Victorians and punishes them again by charging them for what has been paid out of taxation. This wheeze is perpetrated by all governments in Australia and it is itself larceny. This was an integral part of the ’sound advice’ on which the conversion of the STO into a crime operation was based.
The Kennett Cabinet altered the Acts pertaining to Wards of the State, and converted the STO into a pseudo-business, a shell company. The original objective was to float it on the stock exchange but the electoral danger staid their hand on this as also Bracks’ and Brumby’s hands.
The conversion of Wardship into OPA was an overthrow of the original function, to uphold the real property rights of wards, in themselves and all their property. Prior to the Kennett novelty, anyone for whatever reason could declare themselves a ward of the State. This was the point to the use of very rubbery terms such as insanity or the updated equivalent ‘dementia’.
Such vague words had nothing to do with whether someone was totally ga ga or worse and thus incapable at all of running their own affairs. The buttress is Common Law and the King’s sworn oath to uphold it and to uphold the rights of any subject who approached the King for execution of this oath-sworn service. Wardship was the mechanism by which it was executed. In a stroke, the Kennett administration and their advisers wiped this out, and with it the rights of Wards and potential Wards.
The only way for the straight administrative entity the STO, bound to execute the King’s oath bound duty, can make ‘profit’ is by larceny. It is committed on a large scale and by three measures:
1. Elderly people who named the STO their trustees, having reached a condition that requires exercise of trusteeship, have their accounts hoovered daily by the Victorian Executive through the STO. This alone is shocking, it is heinous and it is a major crime.
2. Through the OPA a financial administrative order is put out against a target. This means the target has all their lawful rights to their property and exercise there-of stripped. The STO exercises all the rights and targets are under the Act forbidden to even utter a word to anyone about it. This is not a joke. It is what the Kennett Administration and their advisers devised and fully enjoyed also by Bracks, Brumby, Hulls.
3. Full Guardianship placed over targets. Targets have their rights in themselves and all their property seized in toto. It is completely illegal, a criminal offence for victims to speak out even in a court of law.
To secure 2 and 3, ‘dementia’ is the catch-all. It has been redefined to mean a severe incapacitating disability that renders someone incompetent. Victims have to go through hell and horrendous expense in the attempt to fight back. Bracks, Brumby and Hulls tightened the Act to ensure victims, while they may go to the expense, have zero chance of succeeding. This was because of the lucky few who have succeeded.
We are not talking about two or three Victorians once a blue moon. We are talking about a very large number of Victorians. Concerning trusteeships, the STO in trying to convince many to sign with them also tries to induced them to name the STO as sole Trustee or nominate no more than one independent trustee and the reason is, they can bulldoze a single independent trustee and seize control of a victim’s property.
Accounts that I have in my possession details some of the types of actions the STO uses to seize private property. They also seize control of victims’ homes and, along with all goods and chattels, sell them up, booting victims’ out onto the streets.
Who were the advisers to the Kennett administration? The Institute of Public Affairs and the Centre for Independent Studies advised the Kennett administration. Any of the buffoons in these clunk tanks who might have been involved in the conversion are thus also responsible for converting the STO and OPA into a crime racket, and it is systematic what the Government perpetrates through these agencies.
I was suprised to learn the STO comes under the Treasurer and not the Attorney General. Yet it is not odd given the aim: a scam to rake in unlawfully multiples of tens of millions and hundreds of millions of dollars per annum at the minimum (in one exercise alone the STO cleaned out over $400m from the accounts of some victims, and this figure does not include all that they removed in that year).
Edwards pretends to be blissfully uninformed about the truth, despite the collection of articles one has turned out on this matter. As for ‘conspiracy theory’, Mr Edwards, I now call him not only a coward but I’m contemplating whether he is a lair. For, the above is no conspiracy theory. It is built on hard, extensive evidence, Mr. Edwards. It was what was done under the Kennett administration and continued under Bracks and Brumby.
The point to alluding to this disgusting large scale criminal activity of the Executive was to draw out, the Right are not only illiterates. Their ignorance is all the worse because they have no moral compass. Mr. Edwards himself shows this. He doesn’t give a stuff about the abuse and worse dealt out not only by ALP administrations but also by Rightwing bastards when they are in office.
It, Mr. Edwards, is worse than a descent of administrations into lawlessness. To cap it off, there is now the Rudd Fascist Cabinet to survive. Modest Australians have to survive theese scumbags. It was the Right who have done great damage and ensured a Rudd Fascist Cabinet. This is without taking into consideration the real and many victims of the STO and OPA.
Edwards is defending what is indefensible, and this includes those callous, venal, arrogant buffoons in the Institute of Public Affairs and the Centre for Independent Studies. The Right hold the Liberal Party in contempt, they hold modest Australians in contempt and, being the unprincipled sods they are, cause great damage. Such damage that, as above, they can do things which bring real misery and worse to many Australians and the above, Mr. Edwards, is a vicious, ongoing demonstration of their stupidity.
Stupid people do not believe they are cruel. They delude themselves that they are loved. But they are cruel. Confined to themselves they only cause grief for their own families. The Right shows what happens when stupid types are flung into Executive Office. Now we have the Stupid, diseased Left to contend with, because of the Stupid Right.
What is perpetrated through the STO and OPA is truly shocking.
