Lessons from History

 

Historical examples of the French and Polish resistance movements during World War II vividly illustrate the dire consequences of compromised information. Such breaches often resulted in brutal reprisals against resistance fighters, their families, and even their village. Occupying forces frequently targeted police stations as a strategic means to uncover potential members of the resistance, especially those known to possess firearms. This tactic is documented through several key points that highlight the risks faced by individuals involved in resistance efforts.  The key lessons from history are: 

Local Collaboration : Occupying armies relied on local police to help identify resistance fighters, using them to gather intelligence on suspected individuals.
Suppression Efforts : In countries like France and Poland, occupying forces conducted raids and surveillance with the assistance of police, specifically seeking records related to firearms and resistance activities.
Repression Tactics : Historical accounts from the French Resistance show that the Gestapo and other occupiers infiltrated local police forces to extract information on resistance members.
Civilian Reprisals : Identifying resistance members often led to reprisals against fighters and their families, as occupying forces aimed to create fear and deter opposition.
Documented Evidence : Numerous resistance memoirs and military reports detail the systematic targeting of police to suppress resistance movements.Overall, the targeting of police stations for intelligence gathering was a strategic method employed by occupying forces throughout the war.

In the context of Australia, the risks magnify in the event of an invasion, as modern technology enables adversaries to recover deleted data, which could jeopardize the identities of firearm owners and resistance organisers.

This technology is further enhanced when adversaries operate from within the occupied country, allowing them to leverage local resources and infrastructure to more effectively breach security protocols and information systems.

No software can manipulate the mindset of an IT manager when faced with the dire ultimatum of surrendering access credentials or facing a firing squad. Such pressure transcends technology and speaks to the human spirit in moments of personal survival. 

While the Prime Minister can exercise emergency powers during an invasion, deleting the national firearm register may be possible?   However, deleting the State and Northern Territory firearm registries would require approval from all state and territory governments, complicating and prolonging the process.

Additionally, certain state leaders might lean toward appeasement, which could conflict with their obligation to protect the security of all firearm owners. This includes those individuals who form part of a resistance, a significant number of whom are likely to stem from the target sports community, given the presence of both retired and active military, police, and security personnel throughout Australia.

As the CCP enhances its influence and territorial claims, notably asserting sovereignty over Australia via its educated youth, it’s crucial to reassess national security strategies.

This should involve developing a comprehensive war plan that emphasises the importance of civilian involvement alongside military action in defending against invasions.

In his 2022 book, “Danger on our Doorstep,” Major General Jim Molan raises critical concerns regarding the state of modern military readiness. He emphasises that contemporary conflicts diverge dramatically from traditional large-scale wars, which historically allowed for a grace period of preparation. This shift poses significant challenges for national defence, particularly in light of the impracticality of conscription.

Given the fast pace at which modern warfare operates, there is an urgent need for highly trained personnel, and the compressed timeframe for training new recruits presents a formidable obstacle. As a result, relying on conscription may not provide the necessary effectiveness or efficiency required in today’s rapidly evolving combat environment.

Instead of relying substantially on external military assistance and the purchase of high-tech military hardware from other countries, Australia should harness its internal resources and capabilities, leveraging the expertise of farmers, pastoralists, indigenous communities, ballistic sports clubs, truck and rail operators, civilian radio networks, construction trade networks, and others. Involving civilians and training them as a third tier of defence can enhance Australia’s overall security capabilities. This strategy might include:

1. **Civil Defense Training Programs**: Implement widespread training programs for civilians, covering basic defence skills, emergency response, and surveillance techniques. 2. **Community Defense Units**: Establish local defence units made up of trained civilians who can support the military and police in times of crisis. 3. **Public Awareness Campaigns**: Increase public awareness about potential threats and how to respond to them effectively. 4. **Collaboration with Veteran Organisations**: Leverage the expertise of military veterans to train and mentor civilian defence units. 5. **Regular Drills and Exercises**: 

Conduct regular drills and joint exercises with civilians and military forces to ensure readiness and coordination. 

Why are those from the ballistic sports so important to our national security? 

A prime example is clay pigeon shooting, where the ability to swiftly track and hit fast-moving targets in the sky demands extensive practice. Military forces around the world are now revisiting this sport to train shotgun users in defending against drone attacks. It’s not just soldiers who may be summoned to safeguard a community from drone attacks.

Taiwan

How might a Taiwan conflict impact the U.S. strategic position in our region? Could it lead to a withdrawal after considerable losses? Is the belief that the U.S. won’t retreat a cornerstone of our current defence strategy? A superpower aiming to prevent nuclear escalation might choose a proxy war—could Australia become the Ukraine of the Pacific?

We demand that in the event of an invasion that our military can’t repel, firearm registries must not fall into the hands of an occupying force. This is underscored by historical lessons from World War II, where compromised intelligence severely hindered resistance efforts in France and Poland.

Authority to delete firearm registries lies primarily with state and territory legislation, not the Prime Minister. Although the Prime Minister could invoke emergency powers during an invasion, erasing firearm registries would require consensus from all state governments, complicating and prolonging the process.

Some state government leaders may adopt an appeasement policy unacceptable to those committed to resistance.

The potential deletion of firearm registries is vital to prevent them from being used against us. This would support the establishment of a unified Australian resistance force, a National Civil Defence support unit, capable of operating in occupied areas under Australian Defence Force (ADF) guidance, thus making it a Commonwealth matter rather than a State issue.

Additionally, such laws empowering the Prime Minister wouldn’t affect firearm legislation in peacetime. Critics of our right to security must acknowledge that without a strong resistance force, the Australian Defence Force’s likelihood of repelling an invader diminishes significantly.

The naval process involves these 5 elements when circumnavigating a foreign nation: 

  1. Surveillance and Reconnaissance: Satellites equipped with advanced imaging technology can provide detailed reconnaissance of the terrain and the targets. They may capture imagery in different spectrums (e.g., visible, infrared) to gather comprehensive data.

  2. Target Identification: High-resolution satellite imagery can help naval forces identify strategic locations, enemy positions, and other relevant features on land.

  3. Calibration: By analyzing the satellite data, naval commanders can calibrate their weapons systems accordingly. This involves calculating distances, angles, and other parameters necessary to improve targeting accuracy.

  4. Integration: Modern naval weapon systems are often integrated with advanced navigation and targeting systems that utilize GPS and other forms of positioning data, which can be refined using satellite information.

  5. Strike Coordination: Upon completion of the reconnaissance phase, planned strikes can be executed with enhanced precision, as the weapons systems will have updated targeting information.

Overall, the combination of satellite technology and naval capabilities greatly improves the effectiveness and accuracy of naval strikes on land-based targets at a later time.

The probability of a military strategy that entails occupying Australian territories is low. Nevertheless, to hinder the United States from regrouping, resupplying, and re-engaging the military forces of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), the repercussions could be dire, potentially resulting in an armed takeover of the nation.

In the context of safety and corporate manslaughter laws, situations that carry a low risk yet pose severe consequences cannot be ignored.  

This raises an important question: why is the precautionary principle not equally applied to our collective security and personal safety when it comes to the real possibility of an invasion that cannot be repealed?

Extract from the book, “The Game Chess Vs. Go” by Alexandra Hunter:

Drawing inspiration from Sun Tzu’s timeless wisdom in “The Art of War,” we observe the principles of deception and strategy being masterfully employed today. Sun Tzu famously advised, “When you are many, pretend you are few; when you are near, pretend you are far.” This guidance underscores the importance of misdirection.

When one nation is fully aware and acknowledges that it is engaged in war, it can mobilize its resources, strategies, and public support more effectively than an opponent that is still in a state of denial or debate regarding the existence of conflict.

  1. Situational Awareness: The aware nation can effectively plan and execute military strategies, leveraging its resources and intelligence.

  2. Psychological Preparedness: Knowledge of being at war can unify the nation, garnering public support, whereas uncertainty can lead to confusion and disunity.

  3. Policy and Mobilization: Recognizing impending conflict allows for adjustments in defense and military readiness.

  4. Diplomatic Maneuvering: The proactive nation can secure alliances and strengthen its position before hostilities begin.

This theme is recurrent in military strategy literature and historical analysis of conflicts, where misjudgment or failure to recognize aggression can lead to disadvantageous positions in war.

Declaration to the Private Firearm Owners of Australia

 

Ultimately, when the harsh reality of war sets in, the unwavering commitment to prevent firearm registries from being surrendered to an occupier—deemed an act of “appeasement”—will mobilise the National Civil Defence, by this name or another, to stand in solidarity with the Australian Defence Force (ADF).

Until that time comes, I, as someone who feels wronged, firmly assert that no individual on the firearm registry would willingly disclose their information to an occupier, especially if they are part of the National Civil Defence supporting the ADF in areas of Australia under occupation.

Should the unimaginable horror of an invasion become a reality, the Australian Government has a fundamental responsibility to safeguard its citizens by ensuring that the names of firearm owners do not fall into the hands of an occupying force. History has shown us the dire consequences that can ensue from violating this essential human right to “security of person.” Our national security is significantly compromised if the Government fails to acknowledge the threat, especially in light of the warnings from reputable military advisory institutions and specialist organisations. A major conflict in our region is anticipated, possibly as early as 2027.

ASSOCIATED PRESS ARTICLE 24/02/2025

Here’s why Chinese warships near Australia and New Zealand have prompted alarm

WORLD NEWS

Apart from the political agenda given above, why waste a perfectly good time for naval ships to use their satellite technology to help calibrate their weapons for attacking land-based targets.

When a ship sails past a land area, it can gather intelligence and imagery using satellites to identify and assess potential targets in combination with ground truth covert operations, under the guises of tourism or another activity. 

This intelligence can be utilised to identify pre-targeted locations, including major police stations, military command centres, and critical civil infrastructure such as bridges and dams, which could be targeted to disrupt supply chains. 

Many dismiss the possibility of invasion until they realise that a significant portion of our population resides within 60 kilometres of the coast, particularly in Queensland, where urban areas are nestled between the Great Dividing Range and the rainforest coast. 

Chinese Military Seeks Jungle Warfare Training From Brazil

Does Taiwan have jungles? 

The article by journalist Eben Blake, published in the International Business Times on the 8th of October, 2015, offers valuable insights into training conducted in rainforest environments similar to those found in Far North Queensland.

Extract:

“Chinese military officials have asked for assistance developing jungle warfare training capabilities from Brazil. Brazilian officials at the Centro de Instruçao de Guerra na Selva (CIGS), the nation’s jungle warfare training center, revealed this week that China had formally requested help training its troops in jungle warfare.”

Synopsis: National Security of Australia

Australia’s national security strategy grapples with evolving geopolitical threats, particularly from nations like China, which is actively seeking to enhance its military capabilities through unconventional training methods, including jungle warfare in Brazil. This situation is exacerbated by Australia’s unique geographical vulnerabilities; a significant portion of its population resides along the coast, particularly in Queensland, which poses challenges in the event of potential invasions.

Naval forces will play a crucial role in this dynamic. Beyond traditional naval operations, Australian naval ships can leverage advanced satellite technology to gather intelligence while navigating coastal waters. This intelligence can encompass surveillance of key civilian and military infrastructure—bridges, military command centers, and police stations—transforming naval vessels into critical assets in preemptive defense strategies.

Moreover, covert operations disguised as tourism or benign activities could facilitate deeper intelligence-gathering missions, allowing Australia to assess threats and target vulnerabilities in its supply chains effectively.

With potential targets for disruption identified through advanced reconnaissance, Australia must continue to enhance its national security posture to address both conventional and hybrid threats, ensuring preparedness in a region marked by increasing military assertiveness from neighbouring states.

May 2025, China Digital Times:
WHY IS EVERYONE TALKING ABOUT CHINA ‘SEIZING’ AUSTRALIA?

A screenshot of one Zhihu user’s response to the question “Why is everyone talking about ‘seizing’ Australia?” received 11,000 likes and 1,295 comments. In comparing the pros and cons of invading Australia vs. invading Taiwan, the author notes that while Australia and Taiwan have similarly sized populations, Australia has a much larger land mass. Since both invasions would provoke harsh, across-the-board financial sanctions, reasons the author, it makes more sense to invade Australia, thus seizing more land and mineral resources, and eliminating one of the “enemy nations” […]

October 2014, a presentation to Institute of Public Affairs’ members, national security expert, Peter Jennings AO, said: 
“We don’t have an exit strategy from our own region, and so what I’m going to be talking about is something which, if it happens, and we all must hope that it doesn’t, but if it happens it’s going to involve Australia in a way that we can’t escape from.”

April 2017, Former U.S. Army Intelligence officer James Wesley, Rawles said: 

“Australia is vulnerable to invasion. This is because of your geographic isolation and relatively small military,’ he told Daily Mail Australia.”

 

September 2021, Dr Alexey Muraviev said:

“The relative ease of attacking mainland Australia comes from the geographical distribution of our major industrial and population centres, which are located within Australia’s littoral.

Over 90 per cent of the country’s population is spread along coastal areas, with a majority concentrated in a number of urban hubs located on the Pacific, Southern and Indian Ocean sides of the country.”

2025 Defence Strategic Review

The recently released Defence Strategic Review (DSR) highlights the potential threat of major power competition in the Indo-Pacific region, including the possibility for conflict.

This geopolitical shift necessitates a focus on protecting Australia’s national interests and, importantly, the non-defence areas. One of the key areas mentioned in the DSR is ‘National Defence’, which highlights the role non-defence assets could play in any future conflict. These could conceivably include business, academia, government, and the Australian community more broadly.

Australians have been warned to brace for tensions with China to reach new heights, with a war between our two countries likely to break out in just over a decade.

The Australian

Acting Prime Minister Richard Marles says the nation will ­inevitably be drawn into a US-China conflict with the continent now more relevant than ever to the contest between the world’s great powers, as America ratchets up its military presence on ­Australian soil.

The rainforest jungle wilderness of North Queensland, known as the Wet Tropics, covers approximately 894,420 hectares (about 2.2 million acres) and stretches along the northeast coast of Australia for about 450 kilometers.

The Swift model for national civil defense aligns well with the Australian context, particularly considering the values associated with ANZAC (Australian and New Zealand Army Corps). Here’s a concise outline of how these elements connect:

1. Historical Context

  • ANZAC Spirit : Represents resilience and unity, echoing civil defense principles and fostering national pride.
  • Collective Memory : ANZAC Day reminds Australians of shared responsibility for national safety.

2. Community Engagement

  • Volunteerism : The ANZAC legacy encourages community involvement, vital for emergency services and civil defense.
  • Local Knowledge : Community participation enhances preparedness through culturally relevant responses.

3. Preparedness and Resilience

  • Education : Ongoing training based on ANZAC history strengthens community resilience in crises.

4. Holistic Approach

  • Integrating Values : The Swift model’s comprehensive approach reflects ANZAC values for ethical decision-making.

5. Intergovernmental Cooperation

  • Coordination : The ANZAC legacy supports collaboration across federal, state, and local governments in civil defense.

6. Cultural Sensitivity

    • Diversity : Recognizing diverse cultures enriches civil defense, ensuring inclusivity rooted in the ANZAC spirit.
  • Trust-Building : Strengthened community trust leads to better cooperation in defense initiatives.

7. Adaptability

  • Historical Lessons : ANZAC resilience fosters adaptability in evolving threats like climate change.
  • Innovative Solutions : Encouraging creativity in civil defense reflects adaptive qualities inspired by ANZAC forces.

In summary, the Swift model’s focus on community, resilience, and historical context, rooted in the ANZAC spirit, can enhance Australia’s national civil defence strategy, making it both effective and culturally relevant.

Legal Framework for NCD and Firearm Registries

To navigate the complexities surrounding firearm registries and the potential to delete them during occupation, Australian common law supports the principle of necessity in crisis scenarios. Legislative actions may be required to swiftly implement measures aimed at protecting citizens and maintaining order.

The power to destroy firearm registries in the event of an invasion that cannot be repealed  should be established through both federal and state legislation. While the Prime Minister can invoke emergency powers, consensus and collaboration with state and territory governments are essential for any significant adjustments to firearm laws.
