*This was emailed to
me today from an excellent source and researcher who points out that
these are unverified claims. This was originally posted on the
controversial Rebel.org site, but has been removed almost simultaneously, from what i
understand, in very strange circumstances. It is
also worth noting that an email has been circulated by a member of
UPMART denying the claims in this article. In the interests of openness
and transparency, i share it with you, and you can make of it what you
will.

A
history of Malcolm McClure and Upmart
by Andrew MacGregor ex Policeman-Investigative writer
In about May/June of 2002,
I received a telephone call from Bronwyn Hancock of the anti-vaccination group
in Sydney who informed me of a very interesting person called Malcolm McClure
who had made a presentation in regard to motor car registration and driver’s
licences.
I made enquiries and was informed that
Malcolm’s next presentation was to be at Kensington, an inner Melbourne suburb
at 7.30 pm on the following Tuesday.
Malcolm McClure started off his
presentation talking about ‘God’s Law’, which he claimed was ‘supreme law’. There is no basis for such presumptions
other than religion, and I never heard of these things when I went to church,
and my belief is that most Christian Churches do not push such
dogma.
Malcolm McClure then touched on the
GST and the number of petitions that had been collected, and cited the efforts
of ‘Leonard William Clampett’ from
Queensland who had collected over 500,000 names on his petition,
which had been passed onto Senator Len Harris of the ‘One Nation
Party’. This was not
an error, as this information was on a slide as part of Malcolm’s
presentation
Now this was very
interesting as I personally knew Senator Len Harris, and was well aware of
Leonard Clampett, who is a spook and at that time was
residing in Cavite, a city near Manila in the
Philippines.
Malcolm McClure then hit the main
topic of motor vehicle registrations and ‘driver’s licences’. In this topic, Malcolm only referred to
the Federal Constitution and a book used to explain this constitution called,
‘Quick and Garran’, and offered to arrange the purchase of this book for any
member of the audience who so desired to have this knowledge.
Now the problem here is that when I
went through police training in the St. Kilda Road Depot in 1968, the law we
were taught all emanated from the ‘State Law’ as per the Victorian
Constitution. There was virtually
no Federal Law on our agenda, and the ‘Commonwealth’ police were the ‘enforcers’
of federal law.
So whichever State a person resides,
the power to issue driver’s licences, motor vehicle registration plates, and
similar issues come under that State’s constitution, not the Federal
Constitution. Malcolm McClure’s
argument was extremely flawed and dangerous to any person who believed
him.
Malcolm McClure also had with him,
some of his ‘driver’s licences’ and motor vehicle ‘registration number plates’
to ‘sell’ which he was offering for ‘half price’, for those who were prepared to
pay for them. I saw one of the sets
of ‘number plates’ which was numbered, ‘RAM-000’. Now this was
interesting.
‘RAM’ actually stood for a
movement that had emerged in Western Australia, the ‘Rural Action
Movement’.
But the real clue was that the
number plates were identical to
the plates manufactured for the Victorian government.
Now in the 1990’s when the
Victorian government had problems re-issuing a large number of new registration
number plates, they contracted part of the order to the Queensland government,
and the Queensland produced plates were quite distinct from the Victorian
produced plates.
In other words, Malcolm McClure’s
number plates had been manufactured by the same source that manufactures the
Victorian government’s number plates.
I spoke with Malcolm McClure and he was aware
of who I was and had seen me at one of my Port Arthur presentations. I was also introduced to Margaret Main, a little
grey-haired lady who was Malcolm’s ‘manager’.
I also met Adrian Barnett who was another
member of Upmart. Adrian is at
present involved in the 911 movement.
I paid fees of about $20 and obtained
various forms from Upmart to fill in, and noted that most of the people working
in this area of Upmart were young females.
After most of the audience had left
the hall, I left and checked out the remaining motor vehicles.
All of these vehicles had government
registration number plates. No vehicle was fitted with the ‘Upmart’ number
plates. There was
though one vehicle that had a large ‘plane tree’ leaf covering both the front
and rear number plates.
The following morning I
rang Senator Len Harris and spoke
to him in regard to the information that I had received from Malcolm
McClure.
The senator stated that in
regard to the petitions, the figures were incorrect as he had only received
264,000 signatures and they were still being checked out at time.
Len Harris also stated that Leonard
Clampett had nothing to do with the petition, as the petition had been collected
by a group called HASCO in Queensland, but it was still the
largest petition ever mounted in Australia.
Senator Len Harris also told me that
he had decided to have nothing to do with ‘Upmart’ as he was uncertain as to the
legitimacy of their moves in regard to licences and registrations of motor
cars.
The next meeting that I was aware that
Malcolm McClure and ‘Upmart’ were having was at Clayton RSL. This was the meeting place for a group
called ‘Nexus’ and an anti-banks
campaigner,
Hungarian born Les Banki. I had previously known Les Banki, and at
the meeting Les Banki introduced me to another Hungarian, and to Malcolm McDougall from Geelong
who had a similar agenda to Malcolm McClure.
While the three of us, the two
Hungarians and I chatted we were joined by a young female who listened and asked
a couple of questions, and when we took our seats, she sat in front of
me.
We listened to Malcolm McClure’s
presentation which was virtually identical to the presentation at Kensington,
and at the end of the presentation, at question time I raised my hand, but
Malcolm always looked the other way.
Now this went on for twenty minutes and at the end I simply lowered my
hand.
At the end of the presentation and
question time, Les Banki, his Hungarian friend and I started to discuss the
presentation and what we thought of it.
I pointed out to Les and his friend
where Malcolm was wrong, and then the young female attacked me. ‘How dare I pick on Malcolm
McClure! If I had problems or
needed an explanation, why didn’t I ask him?’
She was going to report me to Malcolm,
and with that the young female went directly to Margaret Main, and spoke to
her. Les Banki, his friend and I
were totally amazed.
What the three of us had just
experienced was a major form of intimidation, and on later occasions I was
informed that if any male had problems with Malcolm McClure then they would be
intimidated by the women, who just loved Malcolm. These women would also claim that the
men didn’t like Malcolm because he was a ‘homosexual’.
Malcolm McClure
and Adrian Barnett are both homosexual.
As Malcolm McDougall
pointed out to me, McClure was penniless when Upmart picked him out of the
gutter.
Malcolm McDougall has also
pushed the same agenda as McClure, but McDougall is not a homosexual. In other words, the homosexuality is being used
as a weapon.
At this stage, I believed
I had sufficient evidence of criminal behaviour to report Malcolm McClure to the
police. The crimes included fraud
and sedition, and are felonies within the Crimes Act, so with the various forms
I had from ‘Upmart’ I went to the Geelong Police Station and made my
report.
Now I didn’t just go to the front
counter, I asked to see the Chief
Superintendent. The Chief
Superintendent promised to get back to me.
He never did.
In other words,
Upmart could only be a
government run operation.
You see the only opposition that the
people believing Upmart’s scam are the police who catch them driving. Then with the confrontation between the
two ideologies, there is a huge possibility of violence, and no matter whatever
the outcome, it is the reputation of the police that suffers.
It is this area that the
Chief Superintendent should have been concerned about, but he did nothing, which
means that Upmart came from a higher authority than the police.
Now most Victorians know
the morning ABC presenter Jon Faine. Jon went to university and studied law,
and then did his first practise with the Fitzroy Legal Aid, so Jon knows and
understands law issues.
To my surprise, one
morning Malcolm McClure was actually interviewed by Jon Faine in regard to
Upmart and Malcolm’s stance on the issue of licences and motor vehicle
registrations.
There was the mention of
Quick and Garran, and as Jon Faine pointed out, Quick and Garran is not a
‘legal’ book but rather an interpretation of the Federal
constitution.
What was interesting was
that Jon Faine never picked up the issue of the proper constitution in regard to
motor vehicles, and he should have.
So Malcolm McClure got thirty minutes of fame debating with Jon
Faine.
But that was not the end
of the matter. The next day Malcolm
McClure was able to get back on air for another 5 minutes to ‘rectify’ a
couple of small matters.
In other words,
the ABC was legitimising Malcolm McClure’s
position.
So that was 2002. In 2004 I was invited back to the ‘Inverell Forum’ to update just
how far we had got in investigating the Port Arthur Massacre.
Malcolm McClure was also to be a
speaker both on the Friday night and on the Sunday morning. Both McClure and I were booked into the
same motel, and I noticed the expensive Toyota Land Cruiser with a special paint
job with the word ‘Surf’ on both sides of the vehicle and with personalised ‘Upmart’
numberplates reading “SURF”.
I missed the Friday evening
presentation by Malcolm McClure, but was able to be present for the Sunday
edition. I arrived at the hall
early and moved in to an out of the way spot near the back of the hall, but I
was shortly joined by another male who told me he was a member of
‘Upmart’.
Now the next part told me that ‘Upmart’ had made a good
job of studying me.
This particular member of
‘Upmart’ told me that he was a former member of the New South Wales police, and
that he was in full acceptance of what ‘Upmart’ was ‘preaching’.
Now for any trained
policeman to state that, then you know you are listening to a load of
rubbish. But the next bit was a
real ripper.
This former policeman was also of
Greek extraction, and so we spoke Greek to each other, just to prove it. Somebody had done a very good check on
me, to know that my first wife was from Corinth in Greece, and that I spoke a
smattering of Greek.
So I had my ‘minder’. We sat and listened as Malcolm McClure
told of his adventure in attending a Magistrates Court on the Atherton Tablelands for one of
his clients who was being charged with offences relevant to using ‘Upmart’s’
number plates.
Malcolm told how he
parried with the ‘judge’ (actually a magistrate) and how he was arrested for
‘contempt of Court’ and how he had been locked up but then later released and
permitted to return to the courthouse.
Malcolm told how he had
been caught with a tape-recorder and had thrown it to one of his supporters and
then Malcolm told of his ‘client’ being convicted on all charges.
The women loved Malcolm’s chevalier
attitude, in fighting these ‘injustices’, but it was Malcolm’s last words that
really told the story.
Malcolm McClure
stated, “But it didn’t matter, as we won it on appeal.” That was a
lie.
McClure’s client, James Hubner, never appealed the
conviction. He just paid the fine
and wore the defeat.
However, if we look at what even
Malcolm McClure tells us, we must be aware that something extremely strange has
happened.
Malcolm McClure tells us that he treated
the courtroom as though it was his little
circus. Such
behaviour is not normally tolerated.
Malcolm McClure tells us that he was charged with contempt.
When arrested, Malcolm
McClure was found to have a recorder in his pocket, which Malcolm then tossed to
one of his supporters.
I’m still wondering why Malcolm
McClure didn’t get six months in gaol for his continuous contempt of the court
and of the Magistrate.
And then Malcolm McClure
and ‘some of his supporters’ were then permitted to leave town in an
unregistered motor vehicle. And the
police did nothing????????
The only plausible explanation is that
Malcolm McClure is a government
spook. Nobody would
get away from committing the offences that Malcolm had unless he was working for
a government Intelligence body.
My amazement was not yet
complete. At the end of Malcolm’s
adventures, that most right-wing conservative body, the League of Right’s spokesman,
Jeremy Lee got up and
congratulated Malcolm on his persistence and courage, and stated that perhaps
Malcolm could take over HASCO and let Himself (Jeremy
Lee) retire.
Not to be outdone, Senator
Len Harris, got up and applauded Malcolm’s resolve and stated that he, Senator
Len Harris had been a member of ‘Upmart’ since 2001.
Thus when Senator Len
Harris told me in 2002 that he wasn’t certain of the legality of ‘Upmart’s’
stance on motor vehicle registration and licences, Senator Harris was being more
than coy.
To test out my belief, I
again went to the Geelong Police Station, and this time reported the matter to a
‘Duty Officer’, a policeman with the rank of Inspector.
We had a good chat
together, as we both knew some of the same former police members.
The Inspector told me of
similar problems they had with Malcolm McDougall, and that
every complaint made by such people was automatically forwarded to the DPP’s office where the complaint
was filed in the waste paper
bin.
The inspector also assured me that he
would forward my complaint to the Geelong ‘Intelligence Unit’.
Two days later I received
a telephone call from the Inspector implying that he had indeed spoken to the
Geelong Police Intelligence Unit.
The Inspector was very agitated. He informed me that Malcolm McClure had
done nothing wrong, and that it was perfectly normal for people to drive around
in cars with their own personalised plates attached. The Inspector couldn’t finish the
conversation quickly enough.
In other words, even
though Malcolm McClure’s vehicle appeared to have ‘Upmart’ registration plates
on, those plates had to have been manufactured by
‘Vic Roads’ and both the plates and the vehicle were registered with ‘Vic
Roads’.
Thus Malcolm
McClure was an ‘Agent Provocateur’ and ‘Upmart’ is an Intelligence
body.
Now Geelong has been
resisting government designs to fluoride our water system for over five
years. The anti-fluoride movement
was quite vocal in its resistance to the State government.
I would believe the movement was being
more than successful when one day as I was walking past Market Square in Little
Malop Street, I saw a tent pitched on the sidewalk for the purpose of collecting
a petition against fluoridation.
I entered the tent and was
spoken to by a very wooden though professional ‘gentleman’ who called himself an
‘Electoral Officer’.
We went through the
motions of ‘proper’ identification, and it was only when we were half way
through filling out the forms that I saw the ‘Upmart’ name printed on the
forms. I realised then that
I had been
conned.
What I believe
‘Upmart’ is about is the identification of possible resistance against a
‘totalitarian government’. That is
why they ‘collect’ names.
People who were caught in
the registration scam had their belief system totally denigrated, just like a
sheep bolting from a flock would have been targeted by a sheepdog, and guided
back to the fold.
Thus I guess to our ‘government we are
simply sheep, to ‘Upmart’ we definitely are sheep.

Addenda:
Leonard William
Clampett, as
mentioned by both Malcolm McClure and Senator Len Harris is definitely ASIO.
When Joe Vialls left Australia to
play the role of Ari Ben Menashe in Zimbabwe, Joe
had started a ‘Save Martin Bryant’ campaign, and it was Leonard Clampett who filled in for
Joe.
Leonard had also spoken a
couple of times at the “Inverell Forum” an ASIO front for ‘independent
thinkers’.
Running this
operation were at least two ASIO officers, Robert Balgarnie and Denis
Stephenson.
Balgarnie was also the
‘proof reader’ of the alternative newspaper, ‘The Strategy’ run by Ray Platt, another ASIO
operation.
Other ASIO
operatives associated with the ‘Inverell Forum’ were Tony Pitt from Queensland,
Leslie Feather from Toorak in Victoria and ‘The Pastor’, Neville Andrews from
Moonee Ponds.
Malcolm
McDougall; had a
small office off Moorabool Street in Geelong. It was frequently staffed by a ‘retired’
tram conductress from Corio.
I attended there one day and speaking
about the Port Arthur Massacre, along with other massacres that had been
perpetrated on the Australian people by our governments, I raised the issue of
bringing on a revolution, and putting some of these people against a brick
wall.
A short time later when
there was only myself and a ‘farmer’ from the Western District, the farmer spoke
to me, and said he liked my speech, except for the part of bringing on the
revolution.
Now Malcolm McDougall had
always looked the part of a radical, with his long black untidy hair, and his
dishevelled appearance, but the ‘farmer was of a different style.
He was a big man, in his thirties,
with a very neat appearance and with short haircut, much like the military or
police, and he caused me to stop and think. I never went back to Malcolm’s
“Office”. I didn’t trust him
anymore, not with a spook in the corner.
