The Uncertain Legacy of Julie Bishop

by James O’Neill

Although loyally serving multiple leaders as Foreign Minister and Deputy Leader of the Liberal Party, Julie Bishop’s legacy will not be recorded kindly in the annals of history.

Just as we are enjoined (generally) never to speak ill of the dead, so it is with retired or retiring politicians.  The former Foreign Minister Julie Bishop has just announced that she will not be seeking re-election at the next election scheduled for May.  The immediate response from political friends and foes alike has been to laud her career and her personal qualities.

Of the latter, they undoubtedly exist, as a succession of male political leaders whom she faithfully served will and have attested. Always the bridesmaid, never the bride.

The laudatory remarks upon her announced retirement have carefully avoided any mention of the serious foreign policy issues she faced, both as Foreign Minister and Deputy Leader of the Liberal Party.  It is that history on which she will be assessed, and the judgment of history is unlikely to be kind.
Some brief examples will illustrate the point.  In mid-2014 Malaysian Airlines MH17 was shot down while traversing Ukrainian airspace.  Many Australians were among the victims. Before there had been even the beginnings of an investigation, the Russians were blamed, and Bishop gave full-voice approval to the condemnation.

In the succeeding years a great deal of information about that tragedy has emerged (van den Pijl 2018) very little of which (apart from the repetitive ‘the Russians did it’) was ever reported in the Australian media. That was a travesty of the truth. The emergence of an alternative, and more scientific interpretation of the tragedy had no effect on Ms Bishop’s Russophobia.

The following year, 2015, Australia joined the American effort in the Syrian war. This was at the behest of the Americans.  Bishop actively misled the Australian public at the time, which this writer established through FOI requests. The reasons given by her at the time were manifestly false.  As a lawyer she knew, or ought to have known, that Australia was in breach of international law in attacking Syria.

As is so often the case with Australian governments, the much vaunted attachment to the “international rules based order” is applied with great selectivity, and Bishop was as much a violator of international law as her predecessors and successor.

In that war, as in so many Australian foreign policy misadventures, we are the loyal acolyte of the US government.  One will search in vain though Ms Bishop’s speeches for any serious critique of US foreign policy, adherence to which is now more dangerous than ever with an egotistical ignoramus as President and two frankly deranged persons as Secretary of State and National Security Adviser.

The alleged poisoning of Sergei and Yulia Skripal in early 2018 allowed a further venting of her Russophobia. Russian diplomats were expelled from Canberra without a shred of evidence as to Moscow’s culpability.  Ms Bishop willingly joined in the bizarre chorus of condemnation led by the UK government.

Again, the passage of time has revealed the absurdities, contradictions and downright impossibilities of the UK government’s version of events (Slane www.theblogmire.com 9 January 2019).

Apologies to Russia? Retreat from unfounded accusations? A glimmer of insight into the realities of modern geopolitics? Not on Julie Bishop’s watch.

The third example relates to events closer to home. China is far and away Australia’s most important trading partner, twice the value of the next largest, Japan. Along with Iran (another example of her gesture politics) China is the world’s oldest continuous civilisation.

For 300 years China suffered under European exploitation and suppression. It is now re-emerging as one of the pillars of the multipolar world, a concept seemingly beyond Ms Bishop’s comprehension. China’s Belt and Road Initiative (which Australia refused to join, unlike more than 100 other countries) is a multi-trillion dollar transformation of infrastructure, trade and geopolitical relationships.

Unlike the zero sum mentality of the Americans, the Chinese have a vastly different approach, as Alexander Lukin (China & Russia 2018) recently analysed with an acuity and subtlety missing from the Australian foreign policy establishment, much less what passes for the mainstream commentariat.

The American reaction to the re-emergence of China as a great power has been to seek to undermine that rise by every possible means.  In those endeavours, its “joined at the hip” ally Australia has been an enthusiastic partner. Operation Talisman Sabre is but one example of joining in a provocative sea exercise that does not serve the Australian national interest, but assuredly annoys the Chinese, with justification.

Australia under Bishop (and to be fair most of her predecessors) has failed to grasp that such a view and its accompanying policies pose grave risks for Australia’s own economic future.

Only the terminally naive would believe that the recent cancellation of Australia’s coal exports (a multi billion dollar trade) to China is unrelated to Australia’s refusal to allow Huawei a role in 5G developments in this country. Germany and the UK are not so stupid for example, and the alleged “security concerns” are no more than verbal camouflage for the relentless war that the US is waging in an attempt to sabotage China’s development.

We are, as Clinton Fernandes recently argued, An Island off the Coast of Asia (2018).  Our mindset however, is firmly that of a colony, first of the UK and since 1941, the US.  The greatest failing of Bishop’s tenure was to either underestimate or ignore where Australia’s future could best be directed, geopolitically as well as the now well-established economic emphasis.

Part of Australia’s tragedy is that her successor, gestures notwithstanding, shows even less imagination and initiative in this area.  It is a failure of judgment that Australia will increasingly regret.

  1. The relatives and victims of the bus bombing at Rashidin/Rashideen near Aleppo will eternally curse the name of Julie Bishop (et al). This is just one of many sequelae of her role as spokesperson for foreign interests – statistically irrelevant to her and her ilk.

    Background:

    The bus convoy was ferrying innocent civilians from terrorist-held areas to liberation in Aleppo itself, in exchange for allowing the terrorists to safely evacuate their stronghold in the outskirts of Aleppo. After an arduous bus drive, the children were lured out of the buses with the offer of a feast on potato chips. As they had gathered, hungry, tired and desperate, around 80 of them were simply exterminated by a massive bomb in the ute carrying the potato chips as their mothers watched.
    Well done Ms Bishop – one of your proudest moments, and not to be forgotten.

    Vanessa Beeley on RT (for example)

  2. She will be a liberal icon for as long as that swamp percolates. Rad Adelaide surprises with political nous again. She gracefully leaves Parliament even though residing over those war type crimes as the article states as Minister for Foreign Affairs. Deputy of the Liberal party between 29 November 2007 – 24 August 2018 this is no lady(oops I mean’t bridesmaid).
    The 5G thing is interesting, but I think Gillard was a Huawei basher in the coal to heaven days.No problem then.We can only trust US companies like Cisco to backup our digital lives to the cloud with our Chinese made hardware being the consistent theme.
    But where will she show up, corporate banker, UN body, world body, listed law firm ?
    My bet, real estate, sell sell sell, Metropolitan Redevelopment Authority /Landcorp of WA meet the new silk road.
    Hope we keep our shirtfronts, she knows how to cut deals.

      • Because of no past(shhhh), nor present wars on the mainland the law is to yield to UN direction on “matters”(resolutions). Which seem to allow for accidents over recognised sovereign countries.

          • The only one might be the Ratified Rome Statute due to unwillingness of any Australia political party to prosecute criminal law applicable to themselves. Syria never ratified this treaty so for the international court to gain jurisdiction, in the attack and killing of Syrian soldiers who were within their sovereign borders, requires referral by the UN security council(their cabinet). Round we go. Australian law being so extensive would most likely have some relevant legislation but these children laws of legislation would be thrown overboard if required. The Criminal Code Act 1995 seems to be full of possibilities but alas I have no standing and the AG can decide not to prosecute.
            Mary of Standing, I’m sure you have looked at possibilities, what did you find. Got an unambiguous law that I can execute a citizens arrest If I see her or ilk?

          • Good Lord! What international law? There is no international parliament, no international government under an international parliament to implement and impose any such laws, There are only treaties, otherwise known as agreements, which can be withdrawn from at any time. Let us not dwell in fairy-land. The politicians of the Commonwealth of Australia parliament are subject to Commonwealth laws which come under “An Act to Constitute the Commonwealth of Australia 1900 (UK) 63 & 64 Victoria Ch 12” of which Clause 9 is the Constitution for the Commonwealth of Australia. That constitution is not commonwealth law as the Commonwealth is under that constitution which is an Act of the British Parliament. Commonwealth law evolves from that constitution. If THE PEOPLE of the commonwealth of Australia actually read and understood their paramount law we would at least have a talking point but sadly not many have.

          • Hi Leonard,
            Don’t get me wrong because they are Nazi inspired, but the UN is this world parliament. The UN has clout, not fairy-land. The Commonwealth has evolved too and is now comprises of listed business entities. The monarchy, above the law is consistent. The Senators are our acting Lords, in this plantation. International law(law of the sea)is kinda commerce law now(and then), and as always there will be big trouble for any withdrawals. You might get a reprieve because of an “act of God”(force mageure) as long as you stay in the game.
            Regardless, to be offay with the law is not helpful at the sharp end. Has degrees of upside down(Dr Day), that the people do understand. It should generate many talking and acting points, I agree.
            Regards,
            Simon of Norway (some have said, lol)

    • The UN is not the world parliament. Walter Hallstein (17 November 1901 – 29 March 1982) was a German academic, diplomat, and politician. He was the first president of the Commission of the European Economic Community and one of the founding fathers of the European Union. Walter Hallstein was a top Hitler man and wrote up a précis for the EEC before the second world war ended. The EEC was to be the Fourth Reich. The UN was not just Nazi inspired it was set up with the intent and it is an association of nations within which you do not have to agree and you can withdraw from any “treaty”/agreement, unlike law. The UN as only the clout it is allowed by its adherents. It is indeed fairy land as can be seen by the fact that all the members of the Human Rights section of it are nations where human rights are non-existent. Australia should be out of the UN with the speed of a taipan. Being au fait with the law as part of my education gives me some insight i hope. Terry Schulze is a barrister whom I have known of for a decade or two. He is worth listening too. There is no international law there are only agreements/treaties. None are binding legally because they can be withdrawn from at any time. Why is it that Japan does not follow the “laws” about whaling, as an instance? Because they are not binding. The Senators are not our “Lords” they are acting as falsely as anything known to man. Note that we have been told for many decades that we, Australians do not have access to the Privy Council. Senator Rod Culleton has just proven that to be false.
      No Force Majeure is required to withdraw from the UN is is simply an act of withdrawal.
      Force majeure- or vis major (Latin) – meaning “superior force”, also known as cas fortuit (French) or casus fortuitus (Latin) “chance occurrence, unavoidable accident”, is a common clause in contracts that essentially frees both parties from liability or obligation when an extraordinary event or circumstance beyond the control of the parties, such as a war, strike, riot, crime, or an event described by the legal term act of God (hurricane, flood, earthquake, volcanic eruption, etc.), prevents one or both parties from fulfilling their obligations under the contract. In practice, most force majeure clauses do not excuse a party’s non-performance entirely, but only suspend it for the duration of the force majeure.

      To understand this you need to comprehend that no parliament can bind a future parliament. The next Australian Federal Parliament could, at will, withdraw altogether from the UN and it should be done. When Ian Smith declared Independence for Rhodesia the people were forced to make do because the arseholes of the world united against them to prevent any international trade. That was not done by law it was terrorism by the international community interfering in the domestic matters of a single nation. The people of Rhodesia made everything themselves even whiskey which I was told was dreadful at the beginning but was soon made into a good drop. People can do anything they really want to do. It just takes the steps to do it. Wake up world the Yellow Vesteers are on the march and are angry.

      The law of the sea is not international law and the law that dictates international acceptance is lex mercatoria or law merchant. Understanding the Merchant of Venice is a good place to start an education in law.

      Parades are often rained upon.

      • Interesting force majeure meets false flag, perfect for a troika. So Ian Smith was sent to fairy land and has lots of company. UN has clout. What the Australian Government changed the law(regardless of understanding of the Constitution by the ones without standing), or withdrew from previous agreements with the people. John Howard,
        lawyer, banker and … even goes retrospective as Treasurer.
        Maybe we can agree “might is right”, splitting hair’s and politics, I call theatre.

        • FROM SIMON: “Interesting force majeure meets false flag, perfect for a troika. So Ian Smith was sent to fairy land and has lots of company. UN has clout.

          Maybe we can agree “might is right”, splitting hair’s and politics, I call theatre.”

          SIMON: What you should do is demonstrate where it is that the UN has parliamentary status anywhere. I note that you write that the UN has clout. That is only due to those who use it wanting it. It does not have true legal clout because it is only an association of nations. A bit like the association of football clubs. You and I are not bound by any UN resolutions as we are neither bound by rules of football clubs unless we voluntarily submit. The rest is fairy land. My legal training tells me otherwise from that which you lay claim.

          “By comparison with a national state, the international community is in a stage of development where it lacks generally any coherent lines of demarcation between legislative, executive and other organs of authority. As a general rule, too, the international community has no effective means of enforcing its precepts in the same way.” This is from The Australian Legal Information Institute http://classic.austlii.edu.au/au/journals/AdelLawRw/1967/5.pdf LEGAL STATUS OF U.N. RESOLUTIONS By Alex C. Castles* There is much much more to study and comprehend on this one matter.

          Maybe if you were to learn a little instead of just promoting your feelings on matters (emotions) you would see for what is.

          • For Simon;

            Synopsis

            Elites in governments around the world have joined with the United Nations in a war against Humanity. They call this war Agenda 21 and the elites are known as Globalists.

            Apologists of Agenda 21 assert the burning of fossil fuels over the past 200 years has caused a build up of planetary carbon dioxide resulting in what’s called “global warming” or “climate change.” If global warming continues, the Globalists maintain, it could lead to the destruction of the biosphere and all life on the planet. Given the existential nature of this threat, Globalists are calling for drastic action codified in a number of Action Plans culminating in a plan concocted in 1992 in Rio de Janeiro, known as Agenda 21.

            The running theme of all the Action Plans is known as “sustainable development.” Sustainable development, in practice, is the inventory and control of all land, water, minerals, plants, animals, building projects and human beings on the Planet Earth. In short, “sustainable development” is the hijacking of the “Environment Movement” in order to establish universal zoning laws for real estate across the world.

            Although the UN was crafty enough to unleash Agenda 21 as a “non-binding” plan, Bush I, Clinton, Bush II and Obama have been quick to legally embed its principles into every level of government, from federal to state, county to township, even cities and home owner associations. Such top-down planning cloaked in a barrage of feel-good terms – like smart growth, green peace and open space – is nothing less than an agenda for Global Government.

            Fortunately there are solutions to the problem of over-population, poverty and clean energy that don’t necessitate Agenda 21’s barbaric, smokestack remedies. Unfortunately, a review of the UN’s Declaration of Human Rights proves that two of the keys to the remedy of poverty – the right to own real estate and the right to keep and bear arms – are no where to be found. If people can’t own real estate and register that ownership, they cannot get out of poverty because they cannot tap the equity in their homes to create small businesses, the number one employer of populations. If people can’t get out of poverty, they will over-populate for all of the reasons sociologists tell us. If Humanity over-populates, it will pollute and use resources excessively. The very problems the UN purports to solve are in fact happening because of the UN’s “non-binding” policies, policies that amount to a war on Humanity.

            This is why many fear the UN is on the way to becoming a totalitarian, super state hell-bent on “sustainable development” – a plan for the destruction of national sovereignty through illegal immigration. A plan to dumb down and drug up the youth. A plan to confiscate arms, farms, forest lands, single-family homes and automobiles. A plan to replace capitalism with socialism and Constitutional principles with cultural Marxism and Communism. A plan to corrupt the judicial system, the vote and use fiat-currency to finance the whole Agenda with debt and ever higher taxes. In short, a plan to depopulate the world by 6 billion people, the remaining survivors forced into “smart cities” and “human settlements.” The forests and wilderness areas cleared of roads, dams, farms and electric grids so animals can run wild through thousand-mile “green” corridors while surveillance cameras and concentrated energy weapons keep WE THE PEOPLE under “smart” control.

            Yes Agenda 21 is just another “conspiracy theory” – like the theory that NAFTA will destroy the U.S. Manufacturing Base. Like the theory that maybe it’s time Americans recognize the United Nations and its Agenda 21 are really what’s UNSUSTAINABLE.

            A Part of Agenda 21

            Still think the UN has clout or is legitimate?

            Here is some info for those who are interested. One of the biggest barriers is that so many people just cannot believe that governments would do horrific things against their citizens. That is exactly what governments do. They have a long history which is ‘evidence’ of or wrong doing against their own people. This is now all out in the open and you cannot hide your heads in the sand any longer as it is only going to get worse unfortunately…The only politicians who has spoken of Agenda 21 which is now 2030 is South Australian is Ann Bressington and later in the years was Pauline Hanson.

  4. Could not agree more with the assessment of Bishop – and in that regard – I do believe the author of this article did not go far enough in exposing the treachery that Ms Bishop is also guilty of.

    For example: Her authorization of a 20 million dollar donation from taxpayer funds to the Clinton Foundation soon after Trump had signed his executive order of December 21, 2017, putting the kybosh on Human Trafficking and the money generated from such a criminal enterprise that the Clintons have been involved in for decades.

    Too: Another taxpayer donation (cannot recall the amount) to the Philippines after being warned that the money would find its way to ISIS already established there. There are other incidents of where Ms Bishop has placed the interests of the Globalists first (as in ISIS and Syria) and well above that of her fellow Aussies.

    In my opinion, she abused the office of Foreign Minister for her own ends and promotion within the United Nations – Globalist HQ. – but, her criminality will soon be exposed for what she has done.

    The author then shoots himself in the foot with his assessment of Trump – a very naive denigration more likely based in his own view of how the world should work and not how the world does work and what Trump is currently combating. For instance: The Korean Peninsular now looks set to become one country after the Korean Truce, in effect since 1953, was made into a formal ending of that war soon after Trump and the Zika Kid’s first meeting. I guess the author either ignores what Trump has done here or simply refuses to even look at Trump’s achievements since he became President?

    As for his denigration of the current Secretary of State and National Security Adviser – perhaps he should seek out better sources on which to base his opinion.

    The has a very selective view of history based in ideals and not reality as is the author’s promotion of working with the Communist Chinese in which to establish their One Belt, One Road strategy that many Globalist and foolish countries have signed onto. If the author knew anything at all about how this world really works he would realize that Communism does not abide with any competitor whom they eventually control as they are doing with their Uinghar population and political dissidents in Chinese concentration camps, or they kill them off!

    That is not the kind of system that most Aussies would be comfortable with.

    Maybe the author should look back over Chinese history since the end of the Second World War and acquaint himself with the millions of Chinese slaughtered under Mao to the present South China Sea Island grabbing annexations that have led to much concern from China’s neighbors, especially the Japanese, and that under Obammy, the Americans were inclined to look the other way, but now under Trump, the sabre rattling and threats of war from the Chinese military has become a crescendo?

    The author may promote himself as a barrister but in my humble opinion – he ain’t a big thinker!

    • Nemesis
      Are you sure it was Julie Bishop as Alexander Downer gave $25 million of Australian taxpayer funds to the nefarious Clinton Foundation to go to the AIDS section and it was then transferred out of that section so the money did not go to where it was supposed to go and of course the Australian government has been mute about what happened.https://duckduckgo.com/?q=alexander+Downer+gave+%2425+million+to+the+clinto+foundation&t=opera&ia=web
      Julie Bishop has been involved with others in other activities that are quite serious for Australia!Aussie Government collusion

      According to this presenter, ex PM Malcom Turnbull, Julie Bishop, Alexander Downer and George Brandis is going to be indicted shortly for their part of attempting to overthrow a duly elected president of a foreign country and colluding with another country to do so the UK.

      1st Comment
      I have seen three Youtube videos mentioning Alexander Downer and also how Australia and the UK illegally spied on President Elect Trump and how they continued to spy on him after he was elected President. Both governments then went through diplomatic channels to keep this secret from both countries. I think the Whittaker is the name you wanted. as AG. They have had to cleanse the Department of Justice and the FBI of criminal elements at the highest level prior to getting Judge Kavanaugh in office. Then they can commence the military tribunals against these traitors, murderers, pedophiles, blackmailing and bribing, sedition etc. As ex Prime Minister Turnbull was in office at the time and President Trump, Q and others were quite angry about this illegal spying between allies. The Americans have done it in the past as well. So the Gang of Four or more Malcolm Turnbull, Julie Bishop the Minster for Foreign Affairs, George Brandis the High Commissioner to the UK and Alexander Downer who was the High commissioner in London. I would add the insidious criminal CIA who have most certainly infiltrated the Australian intelligence services which is quite obvious in a number of areas. This is High Treason of helping a foreign government to oust a democratically elected President of another country. If this is so, I hope all get properly indicted and charged with stiff jail terms and fined heavy penalties.

      • Arlyn, Julie Bishop gave that money to Hllary Clinton in early 2018 when Hilary did her whirlwind tour of New Zealand and Oz.

        Downer, Rudd, Gillard, Carr, Bishop, all have made ‘Australian’ donations to the Clinton Foundation no doubt receiving a financial kickback for doing so – they’re all criminals.

  5. Arlyn, what can you be thinking of?
    “Then they can commence the military tribunals against these traitors, murderers, pedophiles, blackmailing and bribing, sedition etc.”

    S’far as I know the Great Republic has civilian courts to do that.

    • That is in the US Mary not here. I would rather trust the military tribunals than the corrupt Bar system in the US. It will be fair and true due process not an abuse of process like there is in the US and here in Australia. They will not tie up the courts for years on end with appeals. I place my trust in the military tribunals compared to the politicians and the freemason judges. Nothing is what it appears…

    Your first paragraph “Although loyally serving multiple leaders” brings into question who is she serving? Is it the best interests of Australia or is it the Liberal political party in which she has served? Politicians are not honest, they are conniving by nature and they are compulsive liars to start off with a few descriptions of them. I do agree with you though that she will not be treated kindly by history that is if history is recorded honestly. The victors write their own history of their own account or version.

    The question has to be asked why has she suddenly retired? I have already posted the video of Aussie Government Collusion and Aussie Treason. Why did she go to the US with Turnbull? Was it to face charges or to get a dressing down or both? The corrupt media and press and all of the political parties are acting deaf and dumb about this very serious actions by the gang of four.

    Bishop was bought and owned just like the rest of the politicians. It was an abominable act to blame the Russians on MH 17 as the mouthpiece puppeteer came from our Fascist American allies. I have posted this in the MH 17 article but it is important to post again in light of the current event of her sudden resigning as foreign Minister.

    I have already sent articles previously on MH370 aka MH17 and the deceitful and criminal role of Australia. For those who are infatuated with Julie Bishop take a closer look at the criminality taking place with the Australian government or criminal government and their nefarious activities which are many. Take off the rose coloured glasses.

    Australian politicians are working for the interests of foreign powers and agencies and not in the best interest of Australia, the Australian Constitution or Australians. That is called sedition, espionage and being a traitor to your country. When any country signs treaties or becomes allies there is a high price to pay for ones national sovereignty.

    Who was in charge of the command operation in Australia that misled the Australian people and the Australian military which was a misuse and abuse of the airforce? It was a wild goose chase! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angus_Houston

    1) Glowing fluorescent dye near 1st body
    2) Strong smell of formaldehyde in air 3) Absence of blood on and around corpses
    4) Bloated damp corpses
    5) Victims not European looking- she states that most looked Asian
    6) Strange dead birds, including a blue and yellow Macaw that is, ironically, the same color as the Ukrainian flag at the 3:10 mark. This is a tropical bird which makes one wonder why it was flying on a plane from Amsterdam to Southeast Asia. Normally, one would expect that such an occurrence may take place the other way round.
    7) She states that the cell phone data had no 2014 photos, only photos from 2013.
    8) Bluish/black lips on victims
    9) She states the passports were all brand new.

    ABEL DANGER: MH-370 Hijacked – Landed With 239 Corpses Aboard
    https://thegipster.blogspot.com/2018/02/october-23-2017-abel-danger-mh-370.html
    Highlights: The Boeing 777’s 2 Rolls Royce Trent engines were communicating service data with satellites as they normally do as it was being hijacked to Diego Garcia where it landed and rolled into a portable hangar. The airliner’s location was cloaked by a portable hangar designed to block radio/RF transmissions from leaving or entering – much like a “faraday cage”.

    Illegal modifications to the Boeing/Honeywell Uninterruptible Auto-pilot (manufactured by GE) allowed the MH370 to be remotely hijacked.

    Another modification was made to the little known ATI (Air Tranquilizing Injector). Once MH370 was on the ground at Diego Garcia McConnell reports the plane had to be opened from the outside revealing 239 “corpses” due to toxic “tranquilizing” gas releases from the ATI.

    When the discussion pivoted to the events of 9/11, McConnell confirmed no aircraft hit the Pentagon. The passengers aboard American Flight 77 were murdered in-flight using toxic “tranquilizing” gases from the ATI.

    Flt 77, along with the other 2 Twin Tower airliners were flown to a military protected air space, “W386A” where the three airliners were remotely incinerated with “Smacsonic” – a hidden layer of rocket fuel sandwiched between insulation deceptively installed to function as cabin insulation. The “Smacsonic” was remotely detonated whereby the 3 aircraft were immediately incinerated at 5,800 deg. F. rendering all metals, bodies and contents to airborne plasma that virtually left no trace of evidence to be found.

    YouTube Release of My Abel Danger Interview – 9/11 Serco MH370 Drone Tech #QAnon “White Hats”

    https://steemit.com/abeldanger/@titusfrost/abel-danger-interview-9-11-serco-mh370-drone-tech-qanon-white-hats-etc
    This is an interview with “Abel Danger” Field McConnell and David Hawkins. We discussed everything from the 9/11 attacks to the MH370 airplane hijacking. It seems the Boeing Uninterruptible Autopilot has been implement and used to carry out these and other attacks so my guests share their knowledge of this. They also discuss Serco, the biggest company you never heard of connected to 9/11 and much more. Many topics were covered in this interview.

    There was even a discussion of how Field is actually a “white hat” and he believes there are other active white hats in the military and elsewhere restoring order. He believes Q Anon is a group of such individuals. He even believes arrests are currently underway as we recorded this interview.

    ABEL DANGER: THE MH 370 SEARCH & TRACK RECORDS AT PINE GAP …
    https://conspiracydailyupdate.com/2017/04/24/abel-danger-the-mh-370-search-track-records-at-pine-gap/
    Having read the Australian over the Easter weekend I write this as a sequel to “Where is it? MH370……”written by my friend and colleague Field McConnell and first published on Tasmanian Times… http://tasmaniantimes.com/index.php/article/where-is-it-mh370-flight-to-be-simulated.

    • Arlyn, I find a severe discrepency in your post. To whit the claim of a ” due to toxic “tranquilizing” gas releases from the ATI.” Such a gas would be superfluos in any aircraft that is compressed and needs OXYGEN during it’s flight at high altitudes.
      Australia experienced a excellent example some years back, when a FIFO service from Perth to Tom Price went missing. The RAAF went searching and discovered this plane flying over the border of N.T./QLD it was reported that it appeared the pilots were asleep or dead at he controls and no visible signs of life at the passenger windows, the plane was followed well into QLD until it ran out of fuel and spiraled into the ground. No survivors. Investigations discovered a faulty oxygen system ensuring everyone on board lost consousness as the plane gained height and were all probably dead before the W.A. border was reached.
      Given the above, it’s clear as crystal to me, no poisonous gas needs to be employed, all that’s required is a tampering with the oxygen system depriving the humans on board of oxygen, and that’s the end of it all. So the question arises, why would anyone use poisonous gas which will leave residues to be found in the bodies ?

      • As I recall, commercial airlines are pressurized to maintain a 6,000 ft altitude. Above 10,000 ft commercial aircraft have to go on oxygen. With military aircraft it is 12,000 ft that is the ceiling. Correct me if I am off on my recollection.

        So, if an aircraft is traveling at 35,000 ft and there is de-pressurization, it doesn’t take that long to loose consciousness, thus the immediate deployment of oxygen masks and the steep dive back to 10,000 ft.

        With the computerization of all the flight systems, it would be easy to hack the system to allow the aircraft to ascend to, say, 40,000ft without any pressurization of the cabin. The passengers would be unconscious and then dead within minutes.

      • Eddy
        Since there is so much blatant propaganda and suppression of facts of evidence and downright lies in the world’s media and press including Australia, I like others search to find real answers. Many of the pilots did not know that the apparatus was installed in the aircraft. You will have to speak to Field about this at Able Danger as he refused to fly with it as it was illegal not informing the pilots for a start. Yes I am aware of the faulty oxygen systems. When you have conspiracies and there are many of them as we have lived through them historically which is forensic evidence those evil conspirators have the power and influence to bribe, blackmail or they are in positions of influence changes that are criminal and morally repulsive.

        Able Danger has a great network of professional people woking solving problems that are hidden or deliberately suppressed by governments in their evil agendas towards humanity. I am but a meagre researcher and messenger as I have been researching this type of material for over 30 years. To me it all makes sense as the media and press have their own agendas and politics that are not for the benefit of humanity. Lots of preposterous theories with no substance to try to detract or divert our attention.

        I trust the Australian Government has put a claim in for the 38 Australians that were killed. Does anyone have that information available?

        • Geez, we’re going back a few years now, and I’m no spring chicken. From memory, it was a local airline, which I believe is now defunct. Such airlines were chartered, (and still are) by the mining industries for their Fly In/Fly out work force. I don’t recall any mention ever, of compensation to anyone from anyone, if there was any, it certainly did not make the MSM. But then on the other hand, if there wasn’t such compensation made, I’d think there would have been a hue and cry by the relatives.
          I take a personal interest in these issues, my son is a FIFO worker himself, and I’d hate to see what happened to these guys happen to him.

          • The accident involving Beech Super King Air 200 (VH-SKC) near Burketown on 4 September 2000 was recorded with
            a Queensland location by the ATSB. However, the Western
            Australian Coroner conducted the coronial into this
            accident. There is no report found on the ATSB. The aircraft was a Beech King Air Super 200 once owned and operated by Skywest of Perth (registration VH-SKC) and may have been still operated by them then.
            1.18.3.2
            Beech King Air 200 in Burketown, Australia.
            On 4 September 2000, a Beech Super King Air 200 aircraft (registration VH-SKC), departed Perth, Western Australia for Leonora. For 23 minutes after takeoff, all communications with the pilot appeared normal. However, when the aircraft crossed FL250, the pilot’s speech gradually became impaired until he deteriorated towards unconsciousness and unresponsive to air traffic control instructions. No sounds of pilot or passenger activity in the aircraft were detected for the remainder of the flight. About 5 hours after departing Perth, the aircraft impacted the ground.
            The investigation concluded that the aircraft occupants’ “incapacitation was probably a result of hypobaric hypoxia due to the aircraft being fully or partially unpressurized and their not receiving supplemental oxygen” for undetermined reasons.

        • Eddy
          If you read and listen to the material posted you can already see that the bodies were already tampered with and decomposed as well. I don’t recall the Australian media or press revealing that information along with a lot more.

        • Human error can play its part in these incidents as well – we should always take that into account. For instance:

          When I was stationed at a small country town the local airport called me to report one of their charter aircraft had gone down over a mountain range.

          The aircraft was a single engine Cessna. All on board survived their ordeal and without any major injuries. When I interviewed the experienced pilot he told me he had simply forgotten to refuel the aircraft before take off, subsequently, the plane fell out of the sky over those mountains!

          • Nemisis, Quote, “the experienced pilot he told me he had simply forgotten to refuel the aircraft before take off, subsequently, the plane fell out of the sky over those mountains!” Unquote.
            And they give a license to someone like that ?????????????? Crikey, I never allow my tank in the bloody car to go less that 1/2 full and that’s with four wheels on the ground. I simply cannot get my head around this. How the hell someone cannot ensure sufficient fuel is available to reach the destination, AND some to spare for emergencies, is beyond my understanding, especially in the Air.

          • I should have added Eddy, that it was his flying experience that caused him to ‘plane’ into the top canopy of the forest on that mountain,after the engine quit – that saved all their lives – three in total.

            A cool thinker for such an emergency.

          • Nemesis
            Sure human error can play a part at times but according to Field at Abel Danger this certainly was not. You need to read and listen to him and Im sure you will be convince beyond reasonable doubt. He has many many years of experience at flying various aircraft and a hell of a lot of qualifications as well. They have a expert professional team that knew where the plane was on day 1 all the while that Australia was led on a wild goose chase! This was a rogue military operation

  7. Reply to request for Mary’s thoughts on citizen arrest. Please use Gumshoe search engine for the words “citizen arrest”. You will find this:

    As Judge Burton put it in 1854:

    “The Law of England makes every man an officer to arrest a Traitor or Felon, and all persons of Competent Age, who are present where treason or felony is committed or a dangerous wound is given, are bound to apprehend the Offender on pain of being fined and imprisoned for their neglect…[etc]”

  8. Eddy, Terry, or others, can you help me with this? A few months ago I was on a night flight from Vancouver to Toronto. About 4 hours. I sat in aisle seat 22C. (There were maybe 50 rows). Next to me in 22B was a man age 35 or so, and in the window seat was his wife. After a while I got up to go to the loo and signaled to the lady that it might be her chance to get up also.
    She tried to wake her husband. He seemed to be dead. She wiggled his face and it did not move, so she screamed Help, Help! The noise in a plane is drowned out, so her voice did not carry far. I ran to the steward and he brought oxygen. Then in the row across from me but one behind it, seat 23E, a young woman needed O2. A doctor attended her. I thought they might put down in Minneapolis but we continued.
    At end of the flight the 22B man walked off but the 23E girl had to be carried off. Needless to say I wondered if the gig was meant for me in 22C. I am twice as old as those kids.
    Would have had to pass thru the pearly gates instead of passing thru Customs. “Saint Peter, I have nothing to declare…”

    • Mary. I had not heard of this before. Amazing. I would have thought there was enough circulation in a plane if some vents were faulty. One has to wonder what happened after she was taken off as permanent damage could have occurred.

    • I’ve heard of pilots dropping the cabin pressure to put people to sleep. If you get a bunch of drunks causing problems, drop the pressure and make them sleepy enough that they loose any aggression.

      Like I said, military planes have a 12,000ft ceiling before oxygen is required. However, the blokes in the military are generally in good health and young. A commercial flight would have all sorts of elderly people and people with respiratory issues, so the ceiling is 10,000ft.

      Whatever the cabin pressure was on your flight, it obviously wasn’t sufficient for some of the passengers.

      • Agree with most of Terry’s responce. The fact that the older person walked of the plane unaided and the younger one needed assistance, I think rules out any odd occurrences.
        But seriously Dee, these days, I wouldn’t be flying anywhere, even if my life depended on it. I’m pretty picky too, who works on my car these days as well. Especially with these reports of car’s electronics being hacked into and taken over. O.K. O.K. I know I’m totaly paranoid.

      • Terry,
        putting them to sleep.
        New a hostie once (50+ years back) and she said they just went to the pilot reported a ‘sports’ team’ being boisterous. Simple;: turn down the O2, no problem.
        Hosties could go and have a kip as well.
        Love it.

  9. I think modern jet aircraft “scavenge” air from outside(-50c), and use the jet engines to pressurise
    this for inside air. Fumes can leak from the motors and into the cabin. Carbon monoxide is undetectable, and does cause sleepiness before death. If one has died from carbon monoxide poisoning, I think its almost impossible for forensic to establish that. They need other pointers to help determine the cause of death. Altitude sickness can start at about 10,000, but still plenty of oxygen, just lower pressure. I have walked to over 17,000ft with no problem.

      • If you mean oxygen bottles and plastic wear, I never took any to bring back. I like to travel light and remember looking down at my waist, below all deep in snow( Therong La western Nepal 1991). Hope my joggers can hold the frost bite, they did with the help of NZ greasy wool socks. I did leave quite a bit of fertiliser though.

        • THAT’S what I’m talking about Simon. Appears the mountains are about to get a little higher with the piles of shit accumillating over the centuries. Their Government has recently imposed a hefty fee on climbers to cover the costs of disposing of the refuse, including shit, climbers leave behind. Apparently it’s quiet a subject as the frozen stuff does not break down and simply builds up over time posing a real problem for them.

          • I’m not a climber or a tree feller from the East India Company. Of course the Government has imposed a hefty levy, thats what they all do. I’d be surprised if they brought back my shit from those remote areas. The locals shit too, how would you tell who’s was who’s(no Haiti / Gurkha joke). I was there 3 months so it does add up. But it does break down, not like the western plastic crap, discarded by fly in fly out type travellers. mmmm reminds me of the yak poo firewood aromas. Its uncommon but there is a town near Pokhara thats has had under road sewage system for many hundreds of years.

  10. Remember the song You can get anything you want, at Alice’s restaurant.? well you can get any shit-talk you want right here in the Gumshoe environs.

    We stop at nothing.

    Ned, re sleeping on the plane, on New Year’s Eve we were all in the arms of Morpheus when the stewardess (Singapore Airlines) came around and woke everybody up at midnight to serve champagne. Boy was I mad. I asked her why she did it and she said “Because Qantas does it.”

    Trade secret.

    • Mary
      Lol Monkey see monkey do! Yeah I would be upset as well! That is the last thing you want when you are sleeping on a plane and thats hard to do as well.
