Since becoming a nonviolent activist in 1981, he has been involved in many nonviolent action campaigns and been arrested for nonviolent acts of conscience about 30 times.
He is the author of The Strategy of Nonviolent Defense: A Gandhian Approach and 'Why Violence?'

View full-sizeDownload Montevideo Maru (Japanese: もんてびでお丸) was a merchant ship of the Empire of Japan. Launched in 1926, it was pressed into service as a military transport during World War II. It was sunk by the American submarine USS Sturgeon on 1 July 1942, drowning 1,054 people, mostly Australian prisoners of war and civilians who were being transported from Rabaul, the former Australian territory of New Guinea, to Hainan. The sinking is considered the worst maritime disaster in Australia's history. The wreck of the Montevideo Maru was discovered on 18 April 2023.
His older brother, Bob, was killed when the unmarked and unescorted Japanese POW ship, Montevideo Maru, was torpedoed by the USS Sturgeon off the coast of the Philippines on 1 July 1942.

Her 1944 sinking of the Japanese troopship Toyama Maru, killing more than 5,000 Japanese, was one of the highest death tolls from the sinking of a single ship in history. Her 1942 sinking of the Montevideo Maru which, unknown to crew on the Sturgeon, was carrying over 1,000 POWs, was the worst maritime disaster in Australian history.
Bob had been captured during the fall of Rabaul five months earlier.
Dad's twin brother, Tom, was shot down over Rabaul on 14 December 1943.
It was his first mission.
As a child, my father took my brother and me to an annual service at the Shrine of Remembrance to commemorate the death of his brothers.

It was built to honour the men and women of Victoria who served in World War I, but now functions as a memorial to all Australians who have served in any war. It is a site of annual observances for Anzac Day (25 April) and Remembrance Day (11 November) and is one of the largest war memorials in Australia.
so that I might know how to end it, became my life passion.
But my investigation was still young when my search led me into a 'minefield' of issues and complexities.
Surely someone already had the answer.
But
Where was it?
In the field of history, religion, politics, economics, sociology or psychology?
All of these? Somewhere else?
And was there a common thread explaining the violence of war and the violence of racism and the starvation the newspapers told me was happening in Africa?
And would any 'common thread' explain destruction of the environment too?
Where should I investigate first?
Unfortunately, but instructively, teachers at school and then University all had different answers to my fundamental question.
And none of them felt compelling to me.
Clearly, I consciously conceded after a few years, the answer to my question was not as simple as posing the question had been.
And, it seemed, I needed a much clearer sense of how the world worked.

View full-sizeDownload Charles Wright Mills (August 28, 1916 – March 20, 1962) was an American sociologist, and a professor of sociology at Columbia University from 1946 until his death in 1962. Mills published widely in both popular and intellectual journals, and is remembered for several books, such as The Power Elite, White Collar: The American Middle Classes, and The Sociological Imagination. Mills was concerned with the responsibilities of intellectuals in post–World War II society, and he advocated public and political engagement over disinterested observation. One of Mills's biographers, Daniel Geary, writes that Mills's writings had a "particularly significant impact on New Left social movements of the 1960s era." It was Mills who popularized the term New Left in the U.S. in a 1960 open letter, "Letter to the New Left".
A political sociology class I attended in 1971 referenced a book written by C. Wright Mills:
If nothing else, reading this book made me realize that the world did not work as I had been taught.
So, I now sought to answer the question "Why Violence?" with an awareness of my need to understand, far more deeply, how the world really worked.
And so, with the benefit of more than 50 years of investigation behind me, when prominent global and national figures started expressing concern about the threat supposedly posed by a novel Coronavirus in early 2020, some brief research soon revealed that there was no documented scientific proof that a unique 'virus' had been isolated, and it was just the latest medical hoax to be perpetrated on humanity.
From there, it was an easy step to identify and comprehend the basic components of this latest (technocratic) stage in the Elite program to impose control over all humanity.
Still, after nearly three years, it felt like it was time to spell out, more fully, how what is happening now had a 5,000 year 'lead time'.
So, this is my attempt to do so.
Acknowledgements
I thank Anita McKone, my lovely wife, fellow nonviolent activist and cofounder of "We Are Human, We Are Free", for her thoughtful suggestions to improve the original draft of this investigation.
I extend my gratitude to Professor Michel Chossudovsky, whose investigative capacities, insight and courage has ensured the incredible value of his own contributions in exposing the Elite program but also in making 'Global Research' the premier news/analysis site for those resisting the 'Great Reset' and its Fourth Industrial Revolution, transhumanist and eugenicist components.
And I thank my parents, Beryl and James Burrowes, both veterans of World War II and 99 years of age, for their unfailing love and support no matter where my investigation and nonviolent actions take me.
Clearly, if this prediction is to come true, then many things must happen.
Let me identify why the World Economic Forum believes it will happen and then investigate these claims.
Among other questions, I will examine whether those who will own nothing will include the Rothschild, Rockefeller and other staggeringly wealthy families.
Or, perhaps, whether they just mean people like you and me.
In fact, a primary intention behind the Elite's ongoing technocratic coup, initiated in January 2020, is to kill off a substantial proportion of the human population, fundamentally reshape world order including by turning those humans left alive into transhuman slaves, drive the global economy to collapse and implement the final redistribution of global wealth from everyone else to this Elite.
Let me start with the briefest of histories so that what is happening can be understood as the ultimate conclusion of a long-standing agenda, identify who I mean by the 'Global Elite' (and its agents), then present the evidence to explain how this is happening and, most importantly, a comprehensive strategy to defeat it.
Needless to say, in the interests of keeping this study manageable, many critical historical events - including how imperialism and colonialism, the international slave trade, a great number of wars and coups, Wall Street support for the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia in 1917 and precipitation of the Great Depression in 1929, were used to advance the Elite program - are not addressed in this investigation.
