President Trump Recognizes Melbourne as Australia’s Capital – Relocating Embassy

The American president has ordered the US’s embassy staff in Canberra to relocate immediately to the new capital of Australia. Melbourne.

A Historical Perspective – A Two State Solution

It is feared that Trump’s support in transferring the US Embassy to Melbourne might ignite old long running conflicts between the Melbournites and the Sydneyites. To prevent further unrest, all sporting facilities have ordered body scanners, and there will be increased security at all AFL and NFL stadiums.

In the 1890s, the rivalry between the Melbournites and Sydneyites had been at a fever pitch — so after Federation in 1901, a site for the capital was sought — and Canberra was selected. The Australian Capital Territory was then declared on 1 January 1911.

Why Canberra? Was it to appease those that wanted a two state solution? No, according to Dr David Headon, a Canberra historian. Headon states, “The most significant reason, which all politicians agreed with at the time, was that whites could only really thrive and lead by living in a cold climate.”

Six Days in 1967

But the new settlements in Canberra ignited another conflict. Who were the original inhabitants of the land? It was only after the six days leading up to the 1967 referendum, where Australians voted overwhelmingly to amend the constitution to include Aboriginal people.

But now Trump’s announcement has Realtors moving out of the Canberra settlements to the “most livable city in the world” — to take advantage of the exponential house bubble. “Melbourne property is going to rise like Bitcoin,” said one Realtor. “In the next twelve months the average price of a house will rise from $800,00 to $8 million.” But what about the renters? “They can move to Canberra. Rents will be cheap there.”

The Wall — A New Detention Facility

Fence around Parliament House, Canberra

Mr Trump also praised the decision to build a wall around Parliament House in Canberra. He said it was a priority of every government to keep their people safe. And the wall around Parliament House, he said, would contain the swamp dwellers from immigrating into the main population.

With the politicians now moving to Melbourne, Parliament House can be re-visioned and adapted to a new state of the art detention facility.

President Trump has also called Mr Turnbull. During their brief discussion Trump instructed him to order all Melbourne Muslims to move to Ipswich, Queensland.

Six Country Ban — For Their Safety

It seems Prime Minister Turnbull is now following Mr Trump’s lead and is planning to put a ban on entry visas from six countries: Ireland, Scotland, Sweden, Norway, Iceland and Finland. Mr Turnbull said,

“We don’t want the people from these countries arriving in Australia, and endangering themselves. They are too white, and therefore vulnerable to the harsh rays of the ‘downunder’ sun. Even if they comply to the slip, slop, slap visa restrictions — we are trying to keep these white people safe. That is our priority — keeping people safe.”

Fake News

I have just phoned Sarah Huckabee, the White House press secretary, to ask what’s going on. After introducing myself, I asked, “Why is Donald suggesting the US Embassy move to Melbourne?”

Her reply, “Mr Trump wants to relocate away from the epicenter of Fake News.”

  1. And referring to Headon: “whites could only really thrive and lead by living in a cold climate.”
    Maybe that’s why Canberra is failing to lead — Global warming — heating up the brains of those living in Canberra

  2. Why let the politicians escape to Melbourne?? Seal them inside Parliament House and weld the gate shut permanently!! And then electrify the fence with about 50,000 volts.

    Then we can make it a tourism attraction, following the example of Iceland by gaoling the corrupt politicians. We must remember to leave some room for the banksters.

    Then drone strike the place.

  3. All very witty.
    Now who has researched Mike Rivero’s reference above to the ‘Israel-Palestine the maps tell the truth’ link?
    Have we forgotten how many of our boys and horses were killed in WW I invadiing Palestine.
    Why were they killed?
    Have we not learnt?
    Sorry, some would have us believe that in 1917 Palestine did not exist.
    Tell that to our sacrificed soldiers and horses.
