Today we bring you the two people Bruce Hales would least like you to meet: journalist Michael Bachelard, author of Behind the Exclusive Brethren, and financial analyst Damian Hastie of Brethren Intelligence. We dissect Bruce and Gareth Hales’s appearance before Australia’s Joint Standing Committee on Electoral Matters, with their wriggling, slithering smokescreens of improbable ignorance, selective amnesia and outright fucking lies.For decades the PBCC has dismissed every critic as a bitter former member with an axe to grind. That won’t work this time. Michael and Damian have never been members, have no family inside and no grudge to settle. Damian has followed the money through the Brethren’s gravy train, a colossal cartel of businesses amassing billions under the guise of charity. So when the Hales told Parliament Michael’s reporting was lies, that the PBCC has no hierarchy, clergy or businesses, and that Bruce is unpaid, you’ll soon see who has the facts.Link to Michael Bachelards articles-Exclusive Brethren don’t vote but are secretly campaigning for the Coalitionhttps://archive.li/osEeVExclusive Brethren chief’s son spotted on hustings supporting Liberal Partyhttps://archive.ph/ZkTOq‘A 100 per cent turnout’: Leaks reveal Brethren secrecy push, bid to ramp up poll presencehttps://archive.is/k2i72‘What’s going on?’: Why the Exclusive Brethren are out in force this electionhttps://archive.ph/zv9bw‘Game On’: The minute-long message that unleashed the Brethren’s election machinehttps://archive.ph/LPK2d‘I’m glad we didn’t win’: Liberal campaigners feared Brethren-fuelled Dutton victoryhttps://archive.ph/F0HG4‘We’re not a cult’ and a call for $250 million: Inside Exclusive Brethren’s rallying call to membershttps://archive.ph/a5H6sMother hit by Liberal pamphlets tells inquiry Brethren made voting ‘unsafe’ https://archive.ph/dEkJAInquiry into Brethren election involvement calls on Dutton to appearhttps://archive.li/c3JmM‘Never mind the N@zis’, Coalition says to the Brethren. ‘Just show us the money’https://archive.ph/0ITB5Secrecy, loyalty, discipline: Videos, texts blow lid on Brethren election conducthttps://archive.li/xXwbvLiberal calls summons threat to Exclusive Brethren, Advance a ‘political plaything’https://archive.ph/SELPW‘An assault on our democracy’: New push to clean up election day chaoshttps://archive.md/cctq2‘Bizarre’, ‘extraordinary’: Exclusive Brethren spokesman objects to being asked questionshttps://archive.ph/lof5nExclusive Brethren secretly paid far-right activists to perform stunts disrupting the federal electionhttps://archive.ph/5mRPVBrethren zealots forgot religion and politics don’t mixhttps://archive.ph/8eeOB‘Tail, film, heckle’: Inside the Brethren’s secret election influence plot with the far-righthttps://archive.ph/ztWqJ‘Weird mates’: Brethren ‘up to their eyeballs’ in far-right election plot, Labor tells parliamenthttps://archive.ph/rLIzT‘The jig is up’: Global Exclusive Brethren leaders face grilling over election conducthttps://archive.is/Z6vbT‘Assault on democracy’: Brethren leaders called to answer for far-right election plothttps://archive.ph/31CCu‘More power to redheads’: Brethren leader backs Hanson, building nuclear b0mbshttps://archive.li/LjVREExclusive Brethren leader calls Jews ‘wicked’, ‘infidel’ as Liberals remain silenthttps://archive.is/tcWijWhen a Liberal senator, I was asked by the party to meet with some ‘business people’.
