Increasing violence ‘a Communist plot’

Increasing violence in society is a Communist plot, according to the director of the Integrity Centre, Mr Neville Rush.

Presenting a submission to Ministerial Committee of Inquiry into Violence yesterday, Mr Rush said that much of the present criminal violence was intentional, and its source had to be exposed. He read parts of the Communist Manifesto to the committee, to show, for example, the Communist aim of replacing education in the home by social education. Communists were aiming at complete revolution, “and part of the plan is to create this violence,”

he said. Mr Rush saw feminists, secular humanists, Communists, and socialists as allies in an intentional programme of destabilising Western constitutional democracies, with their traditions of strong family life and belief in God. Their aim was a oneworld Government, he said.

Mr Rush presented what he said was a programme of legislation drawn up many years ago by a humanist organisation, seeking easier abortion and divorce, no censorship, and legalised homosexuality. In his written submission, Mr Rush said there was little chance of any

commission (into violence) coming up with any answers, “because they will simply be disregarded, as were 835,000 signatories against legalising sodomy.” Questioned by the committee, he said that New Zealand had a socialist Government, “as socialist as any in the world.” Its purposes were Identical to those of Communist China and Communist Russia, he said.

He suggested that the solutions lay in upholding the traditional values of a Christian society. To that end, be had produced a number of pamphlets for young people, upholding the virtues of honesty, loyalty, and chastity.
