Liberty Australia is a non-profit educational institute run by volunteers across Australia. We are wholly independent, and do not accept funds from government or contract work from corporations. Our vision is a society that embraces the ideas of the Austrian school of economics and libertarianism. We achieve our vision by publishing books and journals, writing articles, producing videos/podcasts, and running conferences. Most of our volunteers are in their 20s so we are particularly interested in engaging with young people who are keen to promote civil liberties in the political and economic sphere.

Who knew that secession was popular outside libertarian circles? Liberty Australia scholars Sukrit Sabhlok and Benjamin Marks were interviewed for an article in Vice Magazine recently.

From ABC:

A committee, assessing whether fluoride should be introduced into Carnarvon's water supply is planning a telephone survey to help gauge the community's position on the proposal.

At the end of last year, the Health Department announced plans to fluoridate Carnarvon's water.

Residents opposing the plan presented the Minister for Health with more than 800 letters rejecting it.

The overwhelming majority of the many proponents of world government usually don't talk about it in explicit terms. However there are always a few that do.

Since 2004, there has existed an organisation called the World Citizens Association of Australia, which does openly propose a one world government.

Another organisation openly supporting a one world government is of course the Australian Greens.

Hence there is no shortage of organisations explicitly supporting this kind of lunacy.

A nationwide manhunt has been launched for prime suspect Hohepa Morehu-Barlow, a purchasing officer in Queensland Health ...

More than $5 million is believed to have been transferred from the department's accounts through a sophisticated network over the past three years.

A further $11 million was shifted in a single transaction in the past fortnight.

Highlighting that bureaucrats are not all saints who want to "serve the public". Then again, I suppose they might have been influenced by the fact that the government stole the money in the first place.

While governments around the world are restricting access to vitamin and mineral supplements under Codex Alimentarius, pharmaceutical drug use is increasing rapidly.

From Natural News:

More than 20 percent of American adults are now regularly taking pharmaceuticals for conditions like anxiety and depression. A new study conducted by Medco Health Solutions Inc., a pharmacy benefits management company, has found that one in five adults -- and one in four women -- now regularly takes at least one drug for psychiatric or behavioral disorders.

Every year, the estimated number of U.S. households owning TV sets goes up. Until now. According to Nielsen’s annual “Television Audience” report that was released this week, the number of households with a TV set will decline. The rising trend of TV ownership has been leveling off in recent years, and now the number has dropped from 115.9 million homes in 2011 to an estimated 114.7 million in 2012. As TV Barn pointed out, that’s a 1 percent decline despite the number of households rising.

A good sign that people are ditching mainstream media.

One of the things I sometimes keep an eye on are the "Most Read" article lists on news websites. I think they reflect somewhat, the level of sophistication in society. Although, disturbingly, these trends are formed by the component of society that actually get online and read the news, which I would imagine is the component at the upper end on the intelligence curve.

Nevertheless, the trend you will notice is amazingly persistent and is represented nicely by this screenshot I took, five minutes ago, of the "most read" articles on the Herald Sun website ...

I suppose the logic is that, since the most trafficked material on the web is pornography, if we can only make the news look as much like pornography as possible, we will increase our traffic and our ad revenues.

How many more revelations are needed?

Three days before the Dec. 7, 1941 Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, President Roosevelt was warned in a memo from naval intelligence that Tokyo's military and spy network was focused on Hawaii, a new and eerie reminder of FDR's failure to act on a basket load of tips that war was near.

In the newly revealed 20-page memo from FDR's declassified FBI file, the Office of Naval Intelligence on December 4 warned, "In anticipation of open conflict with this country, Japan is vigorously utilizing every available agency to secure military, naval and commercial information, paying particular attention to the West Coast, the Panama Canal and the Territory of Hawaii".
