Dutton Prepares the Ground for his Forthcoming Coup

   Peter Dutton                          

By James O’Neill*

A coup is clearly being planned. Peter Dutton, who unsuccessfully sought the leadership of the Liberal Party at the time of the overthrow of the Turnbull Government, has made a major speech which reads as nothing less than a bid for power. Speaking to the National Press Club last week Dutton concentrated his speech on warning of the threat allegedly posed by China. He argued that Beijing wants countries to be “tributary states” and to that end is currently building up its Armed Forces on a scale that Dutton alleges is unlikely to be peaceful.

The speech was replete with Dutton’s own version of modern history and this was never more clearly spelled-out then in his references to Taiwan. He alleged that the price of Australia coming to Taiwan’s aid in a military conflict may be lower than the consequences of inaction. He accused his critics of engaging in what he called simplistic or wishful thinking about China’s change in posture.

He claimed that China’s president Xi Jinping was not bluffing about China’s determination to take Taiwan by the 2040s. Nobody whom I know regards Xi Jinping as given to bluffing. Dutton seems to have completely forgotten the history of Taiwan.  At the time of the revolution in China in 1949 Chiang Kai Shek fled to Taiwan where he continued to maintain that he remained the legitimate government of China. This included holding onto China’s seat in the United Nations Security Council, a position they held until 1972.

The United Nations for its part does not recognise Taiwan as an independent state, but rather as a part of China proper. This is the same position that is officially held by the United States, although typically for the latter, their actions do not accord with their statements. Most recently, the United States has suggested that Taiwan become a normal member of the United Nations. This is a position which has received zero support from other countries.

Dutton predicted that China would impose a coercive relationship with other countries in the region resulting in what he called “a perilous military and economic situation for our country and many others.” He pointed out that Darwin, along with every other major city in Australia was within range of China’s missiles. There is nothing remarkable about that fact. In common with the whole of Dutton’s speech it completely fails to acknowledge that the rockets of the United States have precisely the same capacity, and furthermore, that American warships (and indeed that of their Australian allies) patrol in the South China Sea. In common with all western commentators, he totally fails to acknowledge that there are no comparable Chinese ships sailing in the waters off the United States.

Again, displaying a complete lack of appreciation of the reality of the Chinese position, Dutton claimed that the Chinese see us (Australia) as a tributary state. A consequence of that position he alleged was the surrender of Australia’s sovereignty and the abandonment of any adherence to the international rule of law “that our country has fought for since Federation.” Unfortunately, even this is an incorrect statement of the Australian position.  In recent years Australia has attached itself to the US inspired “rules based international order” which is contrary to the whole concept of international law.  Although promoted in its usual self-interested way by the United States, that country is the world’s greatest serial offender against the whole concept of international law.

One commentator who shared this writer’s view of the nonsense manifest in Dutton’s speech was the former prime minister Paul Keating’s. Keating labelled Dutton “a dangerous personality” who had laid out “a chillingly aggressive and unrealistic scenario as to Australia’s foreign and defence posture in the region.”

Keating went on to say that Dutton’s posture was “inappropriate to Australia’s vulnerable geographic circumstances.”  “Peter Dutton, by his incautious utterances, persists in injecting Australia into a potentially explosive situation in northern Asia-a situation Australia is not in any position to manage or control let alone to succeed and prosper in.”

In a separate interview given to the Australian newspaper earlier this month Dutton said that “it would be inconceivable that we wouldn’t support the United States in an action if the United States chose to take that action.” This was a clear reference to potential United States action against China. Such an action seriously underestimates actual Chinese power and their ability to control military action in their region.

There is a deeper problem with Dutton’s clear adherence to the American viewpoint. On the one hand it was unsurprising given that Australia has essentially been a colony of the United States ever since the overthrow of the Whitlam government in 1975. One has only to mention Australia’s willing and entirely unnecessary involvement in a series of American wars since 1975 to make the point. We now know for example of the close ties to the United States maintained by former Labor Prime Minister Bob Hawke, and the completely unnecessary involvement of Australian troops in the Afghan war that ended so ignominiously for the Americans earlier this year. That war was supported by the presence of Australian troops under the Prime Ministership of both Kevin Rudd and Julia Gillard.

A spokesman for the Chinese embassy in Canberra said it was” inconceivable” that the relationship between China and Australia “would take on a good momentum” or that Australia’s overall interest would be served “if the Australian government bases its national strategy on such a visionless analysis and outdated mentality.”

It is difficult to disagree with the spokesman’s viewpoint. Dutton is clearly singing from the American song book and the fact that Australia’s trading interests are being severely damaged in the process appears not to be a matter of concern to the Morrison government. It is frankly difficult to see an incoming Labor government exhibiting any markedly different attitudes.

The fact of the matter is that Australia’s foreign relationships are in a pitiful state at this time.  That state is not being assisted by the frankly amateurish approach, not only of Dutton’s defence department but also the Departments of foreign affairs and international trade.  The time is long overdue when Australia recognised modern Geo-political realities, and also the imperatives imposed by its geographical location.

  1. The US makes all decisions regarding defense of Australia, which are actually decisions about US deployments and military weapons contracts. Any decisons not approved by the Pentagon are summarily reversed… the French sub arrangement being an obvious example.

    This being the case, who cares what Dutton says? He is the Pentagon’s local voice and unless Australians intend overthrow of this illicit and illegal ‘government’, and evidence shows that less than 1% are prepared to do this, just suck it up without this absurd posturing about non-existent national sovereignty.

    China has already bought a strategic proportion of Australia through its 1.2 million Chinese Australian citizens, so why would they want to then bomb their own investment.

    But this fact of life is too down-to-earth for a “geopolitical analyst”.

  2. There is a big multi-national military exercise going on right now involving Japan, US, Canada, etc and Germany I think I heard too. The Indians are boring tunnels to take their military up to the Chinese border. ASEAN has lined itself up against China while still doing business, as does Australia. The military in Burma has rejected one-belt-road on its present terms ( but agreed with the part about clearing Rohingas out ). Australia is just falling into line.
    China continues to export mostly plastic junk and things produced under some types of slave labour conditions they are all potentially replaceable by robots. The Chinese state has already gone off its demographic cliff since “one-child” was introduced about 45 years ago from memory, now they will have a surplus of cynical old people and single men to join the army and a shortage of normal young people in couples, who are by the way celebrated on the Chinese entertainment TV shows. What could they possibly want to do with all these soldiers and old people, it seems they have way too many.

    • Today 01:12:2021 the governments of Vic and WA are busy declaring war on their own people, WA is kicking people out of jobs if they wish to retain sovereignty over their immune systems, and Vic Corporate Health Officer Sutton is being legislatively legitimised, with all his connections to the NWO crowd. Who is more dangerous Sutton or Dutton, I would say Sutton. That’s why he looks so mild and conventional. We are getting the soft touch everywhere, so as to keep we the sheeple calm. Excitable types such as NSW Health Menacester Brad Buzzard have been wheeled off the stage. Government employees have been culled, now their remains a majority of compliant, hypnotised fully brainwashed sheeple. They actually believe government actions such as the banning of the ordinary medicines HCQ and IVM was good and necessary. The Mark of the Beast is far more insidious and sinister than I originally gave it any credit for. Silly me, I thought it was just fingerprint / iris recognition at the shops, but those thoughts are well out of date now.

      • This whole China-Taiwan ww3 thing is very convenient as a “look over here” operation, may result in some mass death if required to beef it up but personally I feel completely unconcerned by it. Let’s have a look at David Bowie now who kept me amused during my most tender years. Transhumanist Bowie was reportedly a freemason at least up to some point and apparently knew all about it. He did a somewhat incongruous song called “5 years (that’s all we’ve got)” and other 1984ish stuff was interwoven in some of the material. But the centrepiece was this and if you don’t know anything about it have a look at the lyrics which are all shown on the video. ( A few old regulars here will be cheered to know Bowie subsequently moved to Berlin and went on a bit of a nazi thing ).

        • Like Kubrick he was an autonomous craftsman who did things with a very clear intent. Not sure yet what the title was all about but apparently he was prevented by copyright to use certain material from “1984”.

  3. “The United Nations for its part does not recognise Taiwan as an independent state, but rather as a part of China proper.

    So what is the “Unite Nations”? [I am being ontological, as usual.]

  4. Who couldn’t see this coming a mile away?
    How fitting former prisons minister now possible future PM.
    The ‘curtains have been pulled back…’ and all we see is ‘another brick in the wall’.
    Groomed for top cat, a revolving door, at taxpayers expense. Full pay, not the standard $350 a week, for pensioners or trashed, if eligible in the not so lucky country. Connections is all its ever been here.
    ‘Who’s your daddy?’

  6. Dicktator Dan gets his totalitarian bill through, mwa ha ha ha haaa, dirty protesters, stuff you.
    We can even move the grand final to Perth and it’s all clean but you are dirty.

    • Crooked ABC TV have given the treatment to “preppers”, their productions are shoddy and hasty. I caught about a minute by accident last night, it looked like rubbish, a send-up. Crooked ABC TV employees are all hypnotised, brainwashed &/or fully owned, they are compliant and complicit. They are used for purpose of ridiculing dissenters to those stoopid enough to watch their 2nd rate efforts at drama and comedy. One of their favourite themes lately is the weak, snivelling, helpless white man. I did see one of these creatures in the multi-national globalist supermarket the other day, stacking the dairy fridge, desperately calling team-members for emotional support. They are soothing us in the aisles with tunes such as John Lennon “number 9 dream”.
      Meanwhile the cops are visiting Australians who have stored guns and ammo. Papers please !!! If your papers are not in order expect an extended stay in the slammer.
      First day of a coolish looking summer. How anyone can predict the sun going dormant for a number of years is beyond me, but assuming they are right, useless eaters will go on a rampage if they are denied their junk food, so injections are clearly a more dignified option.

    • I’m glad this guy is ok(he went under 50′ for a whiles).

      At school we were taught about the last(The most recent grand solar minimum occurred during Maunder Minimum (1645–1710), and recent grand solar minimum’s and how it is connected to sun activity/flares and we would see this pattern repeated in bigger pattern-1975

    • Yep, when a man has a hungry family crying out for a feed and some idiot stands in front of that imperative because ‘that’s the rules’ – that idiot has a limited life expectancy.

  12. Pity James still never mentions bankers and their wars.
    Listen to X22reprt.com episode 2640.
    Censorship by Twitter at about 25 min mark.
    The planned war, for James, at about 30 Min mark.
    Much more on medical fascist tyranny.
    Wake up. All control agenda!!

  13. Taiwan is a province of Mainland China, it is not a separate country. Chiang Kai Shek fled to Taiwan near the end of The Great Patriotic War. Chiang Kai Shek went to Beijing and stole China’s priceless historical treasures there, then to Fujian and crossed the Straits of Taiwan and occupied Taiwan by force and continued the subjugation of the native people there that the Japanese did who replaced the Dutch.
    Taiwan is what was known as, before Chiang Kai Shek’s invasion, Formosa. He simply replaced the Japanese and imposed the harshest Martial Law in modern history. Look it up and you will see how draconian it was.
    I highly recommend seeing the two part drama doco about what the Japanese did to the Native Taiwanese; “Warriors of the Sedic Bale”. It’s YouTube, Vimeo, etc.
    They are not Taiwanese at all, they are mostly natives of Fujian, formerly Hokkein and from numerous other Mainland provinces, which is a very wealthy province of the Mainland directly opposite, across the Straits of Taiwan.
    Taiwan is one of the territories of the mainland’s “One Country Two Systems” doctrine created in 2002 which includes the Mainland area of Hong Kong, plus all of Hong Kong’s islands, The New Territories, except Hong Kong Island itself, plus Macao.
    Hong Kong Island remains a leased territory of Great Britain, actually the City of London Corporation, that has a 99 year perpetual lease over the island.
    The complete turnover of the mainland areas and New Territories of Hong Kong will take place in 2047 to Beijing rule.

    • I assume your quite young and you do have an oar in a upstream creek. There is DNA in Hong Kong, Singapore, Formosa and many others that are ruled under the East and West company John.By traditional theory Hong Kong’s lease has expired a couple of decades ago, Commonwealth affiliated watchers were perplexed by the UK spending a motza on the airport then departing honkers. Come in HSBC, that you can note are reps in all of the above.
      Think Formosa is kinda the plantation name of the camphor laurel tree island that was used for things like “tiger balm” and has high levels of sassafrass oil wihich can be used various drug synthesis.MDMA being the most well known

    • Taiwan was part of the Japanese empire until 1945 when there should have been a deal done with the US about who owned it but if the US made a secret deal with Chiang Kai Shek then nobody is talking about it since it seems to have expired with the rise of the CCP, Instead Korea then Vietnam were shambolically “restructured”. Why did Chiang Kai Shek run to Taiwan if he didn’t have a deal with the US. And the CCP didn’t do much about it until after they had reclaimed HongKong. There must have been a secret deal done in 1945-7 and this might have been part of the CCP’s problem with the former government, something similar to the problem the Burmese junta recently had with Aung Sung Suu Kyi selling out to the Soros-backed CCP one-belt-road corridor+harbour.

  15. Past = Future
    Persecution of Christians in Rome
    ( and all about Roman slaves &c. )
    Under Roman rule, Christians were denied business opportunities and status in society, prohibited from worshiping, attacked by mobs, persecuted, tortured and killed in organized campaigns by the Romans government. The Roman historian Tacitus accused them of “hatred of the human race.” The Book of Revelation was written in response to the Roman persecutions.
    Christians sometimes had their foreheads tattooed by Romans (some Christian slaves carried religion symbols to counteract images inscribed on them by their Roman masters) or were condemned to work in mines. In the worst cases, they were arrested and given the choice of recanting their faith or facing execution, with some being thrown to hungry lions in the Coliseum and other arenas.
    Tacitus wrote Christians, “were nailed on crosses…sewn up in the skins of wild beasts, and exposed to the fury of dogs; others again, smeared over with combustible materials, were used as torches to illuminate the night.”
    Due to persecution, Christians met in secret primarily in the houses of wealthy members. This only seemed to raise the level of hostility against them. Because early Christians held services “behind closed doors” at night instead of during the day in open temples like the Roman they were accused of having orgies and engaging in cannibalism (partly from a misinterpretation of the practice of Communion).
    The Romans demanded that their gods be worshipped, but at the same time they received the local gods. The reason the Jews and Christian were persecuted is that they presented a threat and refused to worship the Roman gods. Judaism and Christianity were not the only religions in the Roman empire. Mithraism, Manichaeism, Gnosticism and many others were practiced. There were lots of other strange religions around— Manichaeans, Donatist, Pelagians, Arians. Subjects from all religions were expected to make sacrifices to the Roman gods and worship the Roman emperor as a god.

    • Just a thought;
      I would imagine that many early Christians were Jews.Christianity almost seems to form pre-Christ when I mull(hehe) your comment.
      Worship seems almost synonymous with taxation following tributes.Jesus did not take kindly to the monetary conversion necessary for this manadory transaction.

      • Jesus seems to have got a message some time previous, the way to get attention was to attack the Roman hegemony – and it worked.
        Well, here’s a Beatles song for you about Paul McCartney’s hydropnic greenhouse product “mull of kintyre” ( unless I accidentally press the wrong button and get you some globalist supermarket muzak instead ) it’s got a martyrdom scene at the start too :

  16. Recently O’Neill has waited until the 5th paragraph before openly shilling for the CCP. This time he just goes for it from paragraph one! Every single article is a propaganda piece in support of the most treacherous, murderous regime in history.

  17. More on martyrs: WA Premier says anti-va666ers should have more respect for other people after one caught ramming a power pole outside his house. Hint to WA Premier, just stop needle-raping everyone Mr ( lying scum ) Premier and show us the way forward with “respect”.

  18. MSM switcheroo ??? or dodgy plaintiff ??? – channel 7 tonight said: during the trial of Maxwell it was claimed passengers on Epstein’s plane included presidents then named Trump instead of Clinton – very tricky

  19. Dangerous Crossroads: Goading China to Go to War
    By Dr. Chandra Muzaffar, November 30, 2021

    A number of defence analysts are convinced that the United States of America, supported by Britain and Australia, is goading China to go to war over Taiwan. They point to constant statements by officials from the three countries pledging to come to Taiwan’s defence if it is attacked by China and the actual presence of US warships in the vicinity of the region as evidence of “an aggressive stance”.
