Australia’s PM, Albanese, meets President Biden

By James O’Neill*

Australia has a new government, the Labor Party holding the largest number of seats, although at the time of writing not yet a majority of the seats in the House of Representatives. The two great areas of change were the rise in the number of successful independent candidates, largely women, and the success of the Green Party. The view of the independents on the question of the direction of this country’s foreign policy is largely unknown. Their electoral success has been built overwhelmingly on domestic issues.

The Green Party has made a number of pronouncements on foreign policy and related areas, although some of them, including the abolition of the Australian military, seems unlikely to gain much support. Of more likely appeal is the determination to finish Australia’s involvement in foreign wars, the vast majority of which have enjoyed both Labor and Coalition support, although none have posed any real risk to Australia’s security.

The first of these wars in the post-World War II period was the Korean war. This began as a United Nations approved intervention in the Korean peninsula to oppose the North Koreans who were determined to forcibly reunite the country and in pursuit of that goal had invaded the South. The South was not an entirely innocent victim, as is commonly portrayed in the Western media, having been guilty of multiple excursions into the northern sector of the country.

That war rapidly reached a stalemate with the South, having invaded the North, being driven back following the intervention of the Chinese soldiers. One of the interesting features of the Chinese invention was that it led to the United States commander Douglas MacArthur requesting the right to use nuclear weapons against the Chinese. The Americans at that stage still had a monopoly on that weapon. MacArthur was fired by President Truman and we were spared the exercise of what would have been a calamitous escalation of the war. It was very revealing however, as an insight into the United States military mind.

For the next 50 years Australia managed to avoid direct involvement in United States wars of choice which were fought continuously over that period. All United States military interventions were against weaker countries, frequently, although far from exclusively, in South America. All were designed to maintain United States control over the world, or at least a large part of it. Outside Russia, also a nuclear power during much of this period, there was no serious challenge to the exercise of United States military power. The United States during this period systematically built up its range of foreign military bases, now numbering more than 800, which have been used to exert its influence around the world.

Australia became involved this century in two of those wars. The first, the invasion of Afghanistan in 2001, was, like a great deal of United States military adventures, built on a lie. In that case Afghanistan’s alleged involvement in the events of 11 September 2001 in New York City and Washington DC. One of the interesting features of United States military interventions is that they are commonly based on lies, and the invasion of Afghanistan was no exception.

A similar exercise of deception also characterised the invasion of Iraq in 2002. More than 20 years later, although the whole world knows the invasion was based on a lie, the Americans are still there. In this they are assisted by Australian troops who ignored a demand by the Iraqi government that they should leave. It will be interesting to see if the new Australian Labor government is more sympathetic to the legitimate demands of the Iraqi government that Australia’s long illegal occupation of the country should finally finish.

The lie justifying the invasion of Afghanistan in 2001 was the spurious claim that Afghanistan was protecting Osama bin Laden, the alleged mastermind of the aforementioned attacks in Washington DC and New York City. Even if the allegations against bin Laden had been true, which in my view they most effectively were not, it’s hard to justify a 20-year occupation of the country, which continued for years after bin Laden’s alleged capture and execution.

The ignominious United States retreat from Afghanistan did not prevent the Americans from confiscating that country’s foreign exchange holdings of several billion dollars. The theft was repeated in 2022 with the United States and its European lackeys confiscating an estimated $300 billions of Russia’s foreign exchange earnings. It was the largest such theft in history and the chances of the Russians ever recovering the money must be close to zero. The Australian government to its total discredit was completely silent on the issue of this theft.

It is highly unlikely that the new Australian government will be any different in turning a blind eye to such large scale theft. The new prime minister has just flown off to a meeting of the so-called Quad nations (India, Japan, the United States and Australia) being held in Tokyo. It would be a safe bet that no mention of this illegal theft will be made.

It was however something that was noticed by the vast majority of the world’s nations, in Africa, Latin America and Asia and is helping speed the day when the United States dollar is no longer the major unit of currency for transacting world trade. The Russians and the Chinese are busy formulating an alternative to the dollar to be used in world trade. In this the Australian media, with its customary blindness to United States misbehaviour, has carefully avoided mentioning. The world financial system will however be radically changed within a relatively short time.

The new Australian government has also made no mention of Australia’s involvement in the war in Ukraine, to which the former Morrison government made a military contribution. That war is also systematically misrepresented in our media. What has completely gone down the memory hole for example, is that the Ukrainian government came to power in 2014 in a coup d’état.

Also completely missing from the dialogue is that in 2015 the Minsk agreement was signed by the two Donbass republics, France, Germany and the Ukraine. Its terms have been completely ignored by the Ukrainians ever since, without a word of protest coming from either France or Germany. Also completely missing from the media narrative was the massive build-up of Ukrainian forces in the Donbass earlier this year and the similarly vast build-up in the mortar shelling of the Donbass militia and the urban centres that was resisting the Ukrainian government’s actions.

It was the imminent massive Ukrainian military action that prompted the Russian intervention in February this year. None of this is ever reported in the Australian media which prefers to focus on a Russian “invasion” as being the cause of the ongoing war.

As a matter of international law, Russia was entitled to intervene in Ukraine to protect the lives of the millions of largely Russian speaking people who populated the Donbass. Ukrainians had, at the time of the Russian intervention, killed at least 15,000 Donbass citizens and caused more than 900,000 to seek political asylum in Russia. None of this of course is ever mentioned in the Australian media that prefers the narrative of an unjustified and illegal Russian invasion of the Ukraine.

The context of the war is also totally missing from the Western media narrative which presents a daily litany of lies about the conduct of the war, including but not limited to evidence of massive Ukrainian killing of civilians. The Americans for their part seem willing to fight the war to the last Ukrainian, providing massive military support. For them, as is obvious from the reported comments of their defence secretary, it is all a means to an end, that desired end being the destruction of President Putin and his government, thus they hope, opening Russia to a repeat of the unbridled exploitation of the country that they enjoyed in the Yeltsin years.

It will not happen. The war will be over in probably less than three months with Ukraine being dismembered and divided between Russia, Hungary and Poland with only a portion left of the original country. In short, a return to the Ukraine of the pre-1918 period.

The European economies will also have collapsed by the next northern winter. Russia will emerge largely unscathed by the war, but with an entirely different set of economic arrangements with its European neighbours. That process has already begun. It will be the Europeans who pay the price for their blind obeisance to the Americans.

  1. One of these days, James, I’ll probably concede to you. But so far, every time you say “The US is doing such-and-such,” a little bird tells me “It’s not the US; it’s the cabal.”

    Do you recall about 7 years ago there was a stir-up by diplomats at the UN because the US team had so rudely threatened members who did not vote a certain way on … {I don’t remember the issue).

    Sure, the threats appeard to be coming from the United States, but what does it mean when a nation-state speaks? Who is really speaking?

    Even the current leaders of China and Russia — do they do what they do as leaders of their nairons, or are they, too, following a script?

    In your article above, whart was the European reason for arse kissing? The plaintive cry by Ivan Hecko at Gumshoe a few days ago made sene to me — the member nations of EU are being sold out.

    BUsh and “W” used to act as a unity. Why?

    • The job of the politicians is to combine the vested interests while lying to the public, it’s a job of fine-tuned optimalisation. The state is all-embracing and there isn’t really any way out. All the same it would be better to say “Washington DC, the Kremlin, the CCP” than US, Russia, China, since the average citizen is only involved mainly by default. Washington DC is not a US state and the government there took over in a coup in 2021. The CCP took over in a coup, as did the Russian equivalent. Most European places are a sham democracy using politicians to conceal a feudal system.

  4. Off topic. News of a shootout at Texas elementary school, 18 kids dead, gunman dead.

    May I please correct a possible misapprhension about my book: “Unreality’ Sandy Hook Messes Minds.” [downloadable here at gumshoe]

    I definitley argue that no deaths took place at Sandy Hook on December 14, 2012. But i do not claim that other episodes are fake.

    I realize there are such theories and they could be true (Orlando, Aurora? etc?) but I have not looked into them and will not do so.

    I am not the go-to person for fake shootings. Just for Sandy Hook.

    (I seem to recall that the Charlie Hebdo killings were dubious.)

      • When all the riots, stealing, robberies, home invasions and the like begin in the U.S, – I expect that the liberals will gain a different perspective on gun control. Like, where can I get a gun?

        • They picked a town with a name that’s an anagram of U DEVIL just like the snake venom va666ine was called COBA ®, they like to tease us because we sheeple are so goddam stoopid and they are so clever at lying.

  6. James.
    Fifth paragraph, first sentence.
    I think I might join my piers, (with Terry S) and wonder where you were in the middle sixties up to a Whitlam decision.

      • Dunno what your reffering to there Mary. If the Queen’s representative hands the P.M. of Australia his sacking notice, there isn’t much Gough could have done. Just like Trump being unable to do anything about his removal either.

        • Whitlam wanted to cave just like Morrison, they all just produce theater on the face but all driving this new world order.
          Whitlam ignored Darwin after the Cyclone, he knew the area from ww2(air-force). Kerr did some recon for the Crown(build back better), the geo-engineered event did more damage than the news would say.( what no way you think – England 1952 and the Isle’s 1953)
          https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2001/aug/30/sillyseason.physicalsciences
          https://digitalscholarship.tsu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1028&context=jpmsp
          this one, the solution

          Whitlam visits CCP China, before Nixon, comes back Oz, uses the contrived oil crisis to start booting Aussie’s farmers with a credit squeeze. Usual dodgy loans, that really kick up after Hawke deregulates the AUS$, using the “pillar banks”(Keating, we had to have this depression).
          Does the commie things, medicare etc, gets Cabramatta setup, because the game had moved on from Morrison’s old man and peers. CIA does a “revolution” in Portugal, Whitlam dumps Timor and Aussie media personal.
          So Kerr and Whitlam working against Oz with CIA, proven by ASIO’s dodgy investigation(ASIO theater, like the AG Murphy police raids on ASIO).
          Whitlam getting around like Hunter, goes back CCP China, to be close to the worst Earthquake in modern Chinese history.(John Howard, NYC 2001, just coincidence, well it was predicted funnily enough).
          Hawke captain picks Whitlam for UNESCO(Julian Huxley, getting it). Whitlam had made contraceptives cheaper, and his wife(not Kerr, the other one) was always tying to bump babies off.Their kids, banks and finance, think a Turnbull connect there.
          For some reason the Cabramatta house was taken out of public ownership, and Barry Unsworth was one of the principals. Barry was good at predictions, like the Chinese Tangshan earthquake of 1976, and Bill Gates. Barry predicted it would take a massacre in Tasmania to reform gun laws

          • Hear hear.
            They do like to blabber stuff sometimes. Like Victoria Nuland ( Biden’s Under Secr. of State ) blabbered about the bio-labs in Ukraina. Now we have Soros on MSM blabbering about WW3 Russia Russia Russia. Our crooked politicians are spending our tax on defending the undefendable, that is Ukraina from Russia, Soros urging us on. And Elbow directed to use the phrase “Common Purpose” at every opportunity.

            Here’s WEF “Common Purpose”:
            “…. Second, cooperation needs to be underpinned by a sense of common purpose that binds stakeholders together. At its most effective, it should include focus and alignment on achieving specific priorities.
            This is a model that the EDISON Alliance, a public-private-sector platform for digital inclusion that the World Economic Forum launched last year, is using to mobilize leading technology companies alongside government to expand digital access for one billion people globally by 2025. This ambitious goal is only possible because each partner is focused on the specific mission.”

            Here’s Edison Alliance, to merge Health, Education and Financial Inclusion. Note the syringe logo in the lower right corner.

          • Simon, what is Gates doing in this sentence (if you care to say)?

            “Barry was good at predictions, like the Chinese Tangshan earthquake of 1976, and Bill Gates.”

  10. Seriously James, I’m devastated that you fail to recall Australia’s involvement in Vietnam. Surely an oversight on your part. How could you forget the consequences of the Labor Party and Gough’s standing up to the Americans, which has been the concrete standard causing the pathetic slavish sucking up to the Americans today by EVERY POLITICIAN this country has ? All terrified the Yanks will get them kicked out and their lucrative careers ended. This era has had massive influence on Australia/U.S. relations, and can never be dismissed or trivialised.

    • Keep an eye on the Brits. As you said, Eddy, the Queen can dismiss the government.

      So why did Her Maj do that in 1975?

        • The money changer, he changes our money into their money. The UK financial crisis not only gave Soros a massive war chest, The deregulated Aussie(Hawke) dollar, dropped like a rock. The banks had not told the loaners, about the repayments. They were calibrated back to the overseas source in their currency. (Swiss, Japan currencies).
          They are pulling the same thing now, on everyone though, to collapse the current system. All this covid and other financial transfers, can only end in default.

      • Mary, recently it was revealed via release of documents in Canberra. that the Queen allegedly had no knowledge of the dismissal, until she was informed after the event, by the Queen’s representative in Australia. The same document revealed that the G.G. was on the payroll of the CIA, and had been for many years. Turns out the G.G. decided HIMSELF, to dismiss the sitting Government. No one, at the time, bothered to investigate the authenticity of his actions. I don’t believe anything has changed today, Government minions and lackies would do the same thing unquestioned all over again. I believe, the demise of the Queen, will have massive repercussions all over the British Commonwealth. Watch this space.

        • They were scared he was going to close Pine Gap or some such move, according to rumour, I wouldn’t know being too young at the time of Gough.
          But red and blue are both sold out, just that red is sold out top-down and blue is picked off one unit at a time.

  13. “The WHO Constitution will supersede national constitutions.

    The WHO will reserve the right to decide what constitutes a pandemic and have changed the definition of the term. It could be the flu.
    Treaty gives the WHO the power to name the new disease, decide what quarantine measures are needed on a global scale.
    The WHO will control over who gets to develop the new treatments and decide whether they’re safe.
    They will be given the authority to determine who gets quarantined locked down.
    The WHO will decide over vaccine mandates for each country.”

    Exactly what they’ve done past few years, now the blueprint. Social credit score surveillance state digital ID with digital currency. If this ain’t the ‘mark’, please state what is?
    Diversions and deceptions with covid/divoc and Ukraina war as they enforce CCP global communism in Oz and everywhere.
    Krown kabal komunizm, when the “wall” fell all the goons and snoops were rewarded, in all five eye colonies, now they’re on all bases loaded.
    Pardon me, for repeating the obvious.

    • Assuming the CCP controls the WHO, as has been indicated, what’s to stop them from engineering a new, credible pandemic, the vaccine for which kills virtually everybody but them and their pals in 6 weeks to a year? Or, simply sterilizes them. That’s much easier (and far cheaper) than invading or occupying any countries in a conquest. Why would they not just do that, and then mop-up the mistakes, if any?

  14. WHO controls CCP, for now, after transferring production to them. They’re not new kids on the block, been at it since 1913.

  18. The Blob aka “The White House” have contradicted the fake POTUS a few times now.

    What happened to the genuine Joe Biden? Who is the Joke Biden? Check his right ear lobe. Google will find many pictures of the genuine Joe.

    Lookalikes are standard for security. But to elevate one into the job?

    The USA, sorry the Blob, is planning something…. really BIG.

    Should be fun for all the world!
