The White Tribe of Asia: A Rethink Long Overdue

57
(R) The annual “Sydney Skinny” feature thousands of people baring all at Cobbler’s Beach. 

By James O’Neill*

One of the features that strikes the observer of Australia’s overseas military commitments is that it seems bereft of either independence or logical thinking. The two major political parties in Australia, Liberal (a misnomer if ever there was one) and the Labor Party are equally complicit in this lack of logic.

Indeed, the degree of unanimity between the two major parties on this continued folly is such that the government doesn’t bother to schedule major foreign policy debates and/or defence debates, and the Labor Party does them the courtesy of avoiding embarrassment by not demanding an ongoing accountability for Australia’s military adventures abroad. One should perhaps better label them misadventures.

The Whitlam government seems to have been an honourable exception to this general rule. Whitlam vowed to withdraw Australian troops from Vietnam, a move bitterly opposed by the then Liberal leader Billy Sneddon. Sneddon also opposed Whitlam’s recognition of the People’s Republic of China. The Americans had omitted to tell their Australian colony that Nixon was planning the same move. The Australian government failed to draw the obvious lesson from that.

Having completely failed to learn a single lesson from the Vietnam War debacle, and the fact that millions of Vietnamese that had been killed or wounded (as well as Cambodians and Laotians), Australia eagerly signed up to another military misadventure in Afghanistan in 2001.

Again, the Americans failed to advise their loyal lackey that the decision to invade Afghanistan was in fact made in early 2001. It is bad enough that more than 18 years later Australian troops are still in Afghanistan, loyally supporting the American occupiers. That felony is compounded by the faintest recognition in the mainstream media that (a) the invasion was based on multiple lies; and (b) that the United States and its allies are still there for a host of reasons not mentioned in 2001, including having troops on the border of unfriendly countries; and that the re-installation of Afghanistan’s role as the principal supplier of heroin was an additional bonus.

As if that debacle were not enough, the Australians joined in the invasion of Iraq barely 17 months later. Again, the professed reason, Iraq’s alleged weapons of mass destruction was an utter lie. And just like Afghanistan, Australian and United States troops are still there. Rather than heroin as was the case with Afghanistan, oil production and geography are the real reasons. There could be no clearer indication of real motive that when the Iraqi parliament unanimously passed a motion in January 2019 demanding all uninvited foreign troops withdraw, the United States and Australian governments simply ignored them.

No chance in the Australian parliament to mention phrases like “international law”, or “sovereign governments” because again the Australian parliament avoids embarrassment or charges of hypocrisy by simply not having any debates on Australian troops in the Middle East.

Of course, debates might raise embarrassing questions, as for example with one member of the Liberal caucus having serious questions to answer about his involvement in the destruction of an Iraqi city where among other atrocities, civilians were prevented from leaving during the Allied attack.

There are reliable reports that not only did Trump refuse to leave Iraq following the Iraqi Parliament resolution, but that he made further demands that the United States would retain control of 50% of Iraqi oil. When the Iraqi Prime Minister refused Trump’s demands and opened negotiations with the government of China, Trump threatened to have him killed.

Unsurprisingly, the Australian mainstream media does not trouble its readers with such uncomfortable details about the behaviour of its close friend and ally. Instead, the media provide a steady barrage of what can only be described as a fictional account of not only United States behaviour, but the utter contempt the Americans display to any of the allies that fail to toe the Washington line.

The unanswered question is: why does Australia persist in this indefatigable loyalty when a glance at history, geography, trade figures and military reality rapidly reveals where Australia’s interests should be focused.

To briefly illustrate the defence point. Australia is spending tens of billions of dollars on the F 35 fighter jet. Even the Americans concede it is an overpriced fiasco. Not a word of doubt from Canberra.

Australia is also buying hugely expensive submarines, that may, if one is feeling optimistic, be in service by the mid 2030s. To do what exactly? The two countries that might be inclined to attack Australia if it persists in his current foreign policy patterns, and then only because of its United States collections, is not going to send warships and make themselves a military target, or even to make a military point.

Both Russia and China, the two officially designated “enemies” already have vastly superior long-range missile systems against which Australia has absolutely no defence except its putative alliance with the United States. Those who cling to that belief have usually not read the ANZUS Treaty, and never ask the question that if the United States itself is a smouldering radioactive ruin, is Australia likely to be uppermost in their minds?

Trade is another clue as to where Australia’s real interests lie. Twelve of Australia’s 15 largest trading markets are in Asia, with China accounting for nearly three times the volume of the next largest country, Japan. The three non-Asian members of this trading market are the United States, New Zealand and Germany.

Although the United States has more than 60 times New Zealand’s population, trade with the United States is only three times the New Zealand volume. The growth in Australia’s trade with Asian countries has been little short of phenomenal in the last two decades, whereas the volume of trade with the United States has actually declined since its peak in 2015.

One could make similar points looking at the figures for foreign students, foreign visitors and foreign investment. The inference to be drawn from a study of these data over the past 20 years should be obvious. Australia is located at the southern tip of Asia, a geographical reality added to the figures quoted, that should provide a compelling argument as to where this country’s future lies.

Instead, a government (and Opposition) of largely white males seems determined to cling to a past that was rarely as they like to recall, and certainly will not be in the future.

The time for a fundamental reappraisal of Australia’s role in the world and where its true interests actually lie is long overdue.

  1. whitlam removed the Crown/Queen without approval via a referendum, and enacted the LIMA agreement without a referendum, part of a group that subverted the Constitution 1901. He should have been jailed for Treason, not sacked!

  2. Thank you as always James. You articulate so well what most us cannot. A couple of issues, but for now …

    Philippine President Duterte threatens to end 1999 agreement with U.S

    (I woke up yesterday morning to the news talking about the Pyne’s submarines – now and $80 bn extortion racket, not $50 bn.)

    [RT EXCLUSIVE] ‘It should be US who should learn the lesson from us’ – Philippines’ president Duterte

    President Duterte Bans Vaccines in Philipines: ‘Vaccinations Cause Autism’
    https://prepareforchange.net/2017/12/05/president-duterte-bans-vaccines-in-philipines-vaccinations-cause-autism/

  3. From Independent.co.uk

    “Australian troops killed an Afghan amputee and kept his prosthetic leg as a souvenir, which they took back to Perth and drank beer from, an investigation has found.

    “The man’s death is one of several alleged war crimes committed by a rogue Special Air Service Regiment (SASR) team deployed to Afghanistan.

    “On the same mission, a ‘rookie’ trooper on his first deployment was pressured by higher-ranking soldier into killing an unarmed, elderly detainee as a part of a ‘blooding’ ritual, Fairfax Media reported.”

    • By completely random coincidence, this was posted elsewhere within the last few minutes:

      “The commander is responsible for everything that does or does not happen within his command. (US Army doctrine)”

      I tracked it down here (fact checking is so important)

      Army Command Policy
      Chapter 2 Command Policies – 2-1 Chain of Command – subpoint b (page 6)

      https://www.nrc.gov/docs/ML0807/ML080790409.pdf

      So now all need to do is question who was in charge.

  4. Off-topic. Forgive me.

    “New Hampshire state Senate President Donna Soucy of Manchester tweeted Monday morning that she would vote for Biden, making her the second-highest ranking elected official to weigh in on the race in the first primary state. ‘We need a strong, proven leader who can bring our country together and get things done’.”

    I promise not to tell you more of this pukey stuff (if I can restrain myself).

  5. As usual an enlightening piece, James.

    I believe why so much manpower and money is shovelled into the Australian Military Industrial Complex, building obsolete machinery such as submarines, is because it has become a major employer in the Australian economy.

    If the Federal Government would only invest all that wasted finance into major required infrastructure, such as bringing water from the Ord, setting up the brilliant already planned river diversion schemes on the east of our continent, renationalising the criminal acting Commonwealth Bank and our communication industry, (in that process dumping the lethal 5G idea), and nationalising the electricity and water distribution industry, Australians would be in a far better situation in years to come.

    However the very phrase “to nationalise” has become such a dirty idea, because of brainwashing during and since the Menzies days. The unthinking population have been programmed to believe organisations under government ownership cannot supply services as cheap and as good as private enterprise. The population tolerates the already huge number in the “public service” many doing nothing of value, so why not government employed workers producing goods and services?

    Of course the idea of Corporatisation of Government needs to be rescinded. It is after all a criminal action taken by Prime Minister Bob Hawk, following instructions of the Central Bankers.

    Truthfully compare the service and price of those services previously provided by government and what you are receiving today, under private enterprise. Government does not need to rip off fees to pay dividends and huge C.E.O.’s salaries and benefits.

    Unfortunately, the Central Bankers of the world who control our political system would not allow such thinking by politicians, as they have much to lose. Not only would they lose control, but also would be less able to bleed us of our assets. They use the U.N.O. to bully nations into doing their bidding, such as “Agenda 2030, Sustainable Development”, or your nation becomes tagged as a bad neighbour.

    • Computers together with corporatisation (privatisation) have changed everything for worse.
      Telecom employed Oz citizens, migrants and local. It all worked well cause everything was made here. Now if there’s a problem, one is connected to Mumbai call centre!? These days, the technicians from Bangla Desh (arrived last flight yesterday) are working 24/7 replacing/installing new cables for our inprisonment.
      Leaving no work for us useless eaters. The criminal banksters cabal of freemasonry have destroyed this once protected sovereign nation. All done in three decades past. Now the great replacement, with no chance of a Eureka event, cause the eight hour day is history. Shackled to debt/usury and military industrial insanity, with all of us sitting ducks to their para-military goon squads.

  6. James, for a Barrister at Law and self-promoted geopolitical analyst, your propensity for flights of fancy in your articles are nothing short of breathtaking, and I might add, all without any supporting evidence whatsoever for your assertions.

    Your generalization of previous history does not bring to light the actual geopolitical posturing and manoevres that are responsible for what occurred, and what is currently occurring, and to wit: your assertion that Trump threatened to have the Iraqi Prime Minister killed has no reference for – and that is a huge assertion that must be addressed! And even if that were so, you have completely ignored the reason for Trump’s anger at the Iraqi Prime Minister and some of his supporters, who happen to be in the pocket of the Iranian Regime and who have been targeting American and Western contractors in Iraq as part of the Globalist/Deep State/ISIS connection.

    That kind of geopolitical tension cannot be ignored when putting together articles that you may wish to impress your audience with, Especially those who may happen to up to speed with current world events, covert and overt.

    Too, you lump together the new direction that Trump is steering America away from with what the Deep State controlled previous administrations was steering America toward. Today, 2020, is a totally different world compared to 2003 when the middle east and Afghanistan were set alight by the then world controlling Globalist/Deep State.

  7. Wow! Another article on Gumshoe about how we should throw our geo-political and military lot in with China? For a minute I thought it was a joke! But there’s no LOLs here!

    If we ally with the Chinese we ally with the Godless CCP. Yes that CCP presently lying through their teeth about the source and extent of the possibly extinction-level pandemic they have just unleashed on themselves and the world – probably through their own covert industrial espionage. The same CCP going “door to door” through Wuhan and dragging “the infected” off – not to hospitals but to quarantine stations? The same CCP lying about building new hospitals in 12 days? The same CCP crushing the freedom loving people of Hong Kong? The same CCP whose barely veiled imperialism is manifest in the “belt and road” initiative through Africa and elsewhere? The same CCP who want to export their abominable social media score to the west? The CCP who persecute anyone practising religion and force women to have abortions? The same CCP selling the organs of their own people for profit? The same CCP who lie about ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING? Really?

    Our allegiance with the US is not a frivolous matter, like a contract for the supply of some commodity. It derives from shared ancestry, history, philosophy, religion and political system. We ALL know that every war since Vietnam (and even before) was launched by the Deep State. We ALL regret our participation in these. However we ALL know that Trump is currently battling the Deep State. AND WINNING! Yesterday he removed another 70 Deep State operatives. Our allegiance is with the real US – not the Deep State. Hopefully the Deep State will be crippled soon
    .
    The CCP is allied with that same stinking Deep State. To ally with the CCP would be like selling our souls to Satan. Absolute madness on steroids!

        • You know, that is an excellent question, Berry. I have no idea how to answer it.

          You did bring to mind, though, Thomas Carlyle – Heroes and Hero Worship (6 Lectures) – 1841

          In Lecture (or Chapter) 5 – “Hero as Man of Letters” – we find the quote “In Books lies the soul of the whole Past Time”.

          But reading on, Carlyle writes:

          “By far the most interesting fact I hear about the Chinese is one on which we cannot arrive at clearness, but which excites endless curiosity even in the dim state: this namely, that they do attempt to make their Men of Letters their Governors! […] There does seem to be, all over China, a more or less active search everywhere to discover the men of talent that grow up in the young generation. […] The youths who distinguish themselves in the lower school are promoted into favorable stations in the higher, that they may still more distinguish themselves,–forward and forward: it appears to be out of these that the Official Persons, and incipient Governors, are taken.”

          Who would have thought that Thomas Carlyle was virtually pre-empting the script of the rise to power of President Xi Jinping?

          Xi Jinping: Scholar in a cave – CGTN

          So in short, I cannot “arrive at clearness” to answer you but am excited by “endless curiosity”, and I equally wonder “what does “Communism” have to do with the CCP?”

          • Julius, maybe you should do some more homework on Chinese history and their ambition to control the whole planet? They may well succeed, in a few thousand years time, but not as Communists.

          • Well that’s a relief, N. So is that why China and Russia keep provocatively moving their borders closer to those US military bases?

            http://usmilitarynzenho.blogspot.com/2017/03/map-of-us-military-bases-around-world.html

            We are definitely going to need more submarines – I heard the first one is now going to be wholly built in France – jobs – jobs – jobs – you know, for the sake of the security of Christopher Pyne’s $50 bn [correction $80 bn] project.

            https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_military_bases

            “Its largest, in terms of personnel, is Ramstein AB, in Germany, with almost 9,200 personnel.” [Thought… Do they actually grow food or produce anything in those bases?]

            “The Pentagon stated in 2013 that there are “around” 5,000 bases total, with “around” 600 of them overseas. Between October 2015 and October 2017, the US fought in 76 countries.”

  8. James , I’ve always enjoyed reading your articles & the one above is in keeping with the high standard of your output.

    As for the statement by Nemesis (I’m paraphrasing) that : ‘ Trump is steering America away from the direction previous Deep State administrations were heading … ‘ , I would’ve fallen off my chair at hearing that had I not been accustomed to similar remarks from Nemesis in the past.

    There is a tsunami of evidence to strongly suggest ( if not outright prove ) that Trump is the most controlled Zionist puppet of a POTUS that ever drew breath .

    I could literally inundate the comments section with evidence to back that assertion.

    Instead, you’ll have to settle for the following commentary from a genuine critical thinker who doesn’t have an axe to grind :

    Yes trend-setters , it’s David Icke.

    The whole interview is worth listening to but for Nemesis & those trying to determine whether or not Trump is a force for good , you need only focus on the three minutes from 28:00 to 31:00 .

    Icke says of Trump : ‘ From the moment Trump became President , Israel could do what it liked ‘ .

    That, in a nutshell , says everything you need to know about this wretched man.

    • Thank you T.V.

      On the topic of the The Sabbatian-Frankist Death Cult, Robert Sepehr wrote the booklet “1666: Redemption Through Sin”. I think he may have prompted David Icke to start talking about it.

      I don’t have the book (yet) but here Robert reads from its Introduction on its fifth anniversary of publication.

      1666 Revisited – ROBERT SEPEHR

      It includes some supporting commentary by Steven Ben De Noon and David Icke (notably on the role of KSA (Saudi Arabia) and the Dönmeh – at around 11:30 in particular)

      A couple of related links … .

      The Dönmeh: The Middle East’s Most Whispered Secret (Parts I and II)

      https://www.strategic-culture.org/news/2011/10/26/the-doenmeh-the-middle-easts-most-whispered-secret-part-ii/

    • “Trump is the most controlled Zionist puppet of a POTUS that ever drew breath .”

      I’ve sometimes found myself entertaining the idea that so much of the anti-Trumpism seems orchestrated and pre-destined to fail (Russia probe, impeachment, and now the DEM pre-election nonsense which seems designed to hurt the Dem electoral chances). If what you propose above is true it would go some way to explaining why things have gone as they have in terms of a massive psyop. It is pretty fair to say that Jewish primacy and Greater-Israel are the greatest beneficiaries so far of Trumpism, rather than the American people.

      Someone once said that nothing happens in politics by accident.

  9. LOL even ROFL! David Icke is the highest source of knowledge??? Is Trump also a lizard being? But seriously – Trump has played the Zionists very cleverly – just like he does with all groups.

  10. Icke may not have an academic background to speak of but he’s independent & well researched.

    One thing about David Icke that’s been proven over & over is that he doesn’t have a dog in the race & is able to provide an objective assessment .

    More importantly though, I included the video because he is articulating in a manner easily digestible to the layman what ex-CIA high profile individuals like Phil Giraldi & Ray McGovern ( to name just a few ) have been saying for years about Trump.

    So Richard, if it’s only commentary from ex-military / Intell agency personnel / prominent political entities that will satiate your curiosity on the matter, you need only ask & I will furnish it for you.

    • Truth Vigilance – not having a dog in a fight does not indicate there are no other vested interests at heart. And when listening to any viewpoint on any individual or group I always get both sides of the story – in that case there are many ex -C_A operatives out there who promote what Trump is now doing to the Deep State/Globalists.

  11. This an excellent review of some things but it still ignores the salient point that a small cabal of diabolical narcissists (by definition haters of God and Man) would be powerless without an organised network of secretive indigenous traitors (useful idiots) to do the ground work.

  12. Is Trump a Zionist puppet? Is the Cabal a bunch of super clever, evil geniuses who can control or assassinate anyone they choose? Does humanity stand a remote chance of getting rid of these satanic, psychopathic, pedophilic maniacs?
    I think the evidence is clear. Trump played the Cabal better than they thought possible from a mere mortal. Look at how exposed they are now that Hillary didn’t win. Trump is tearing the Cabal a new one. Mueller investigation. FAIL! Ukraine phone call Impeachment. FAIL! David Icke is a good guy but he’s only human. He, like so many commentators fails to differentiate between the Trump admin and the last admins since JFK’s assassination. Going after the Fake Media. Cleaning out the Deep State Swamp. North Korea. ISIS, Iran, Central Bank bashing for the last year or so. Come on guys. Expand Your Thinking and think outside the box. These are NOT normal times and it’s definitely not “Business as Usual”.
    We’ll know shortly how the movie ends. I’m optimistic that We the People are going to win this time.
    “In the end, God wins”

  14. ‘ Trump tearing the cabal a new one ‘ ? Really Phil .

    Who , of ANY substance within the cabal has been taken down ?

    Where’s that special prosecutor Trump said he would appoint to investigate Hillary Clinton ?

    The Mueller investigation , the Ukraine phone call incident , Impeachment etc are all a dog & pony show.

    They;re distractions to keep the masses occupied with the illusion that things are being done.

    The single greatest Zio-crime of the 21st century ( 9/11) should be Trump’s SOLE focus.
    That, in conjunction with the abolition of the Federal Reserve is what ACTUAL swamp draining is all about.

    Why isn’t Trump indicting / prosecuting Dick Cheney , Michael Chertoff , Dov Zackheim , Larry Silverstein , Paul Wolfowitz & scores of others who feature front & centre in this heinous crime ?

    The unravelling of 9/11 & the prosecution of those behind it goes a long way to dismantling the Zio-cabal ( aka the Deep State ) .

    As the legendary Christopher Bollyn says : ‘ Solving 9/11 ends the wars ‘ .

    But Trump has NO intention of doing anything about 9/11.

    Because the script he’s reading from (written by the perpetrators of 9/11 , the USS Liberty incident , the deaths of JFK, RFK , MLK , JFK jr , Sen Paul Wellstone , his wife & daughter & ….. a laundry list of others ) , makes no mention of it .

    • T.V. Think bigger fish to fry. 9/11, the Zionists, PNAC (et al) will all come out in the wash. First expose the easy ones. Political corruption, FISA abuse, Epstein, Prince Andrew, the Clinton foundation, Haiti, the Royals, Central Banking,,etc.I want EVERYTHING exposed just as much as you do but there is an order that seems to have to be followed. First wake up the masses (those that can be awakened) Collect a few “understandable” scalps. The really big stuff will just have to get in line. Otherwise, anarchy. For the time being, we’ll just have to agree to disagree. Let’s see what the next few months turns up….

  16. TV, BTW. Who’s been taken down?? No Name(John McCain-Brain cancer??-really??) and GHWB (JFK assassination). ISIS. Thousands of child traffickers and child pornographers. (chk the list) The corrupt Saudi Princes (way back in Nov.2017). Epstein, Prince Andrew, Harry & Meghan have “left” the Royals, (it’s all about waking up the sleeping masses and getting them to their WTF moment)To name but a few. And there’s more than likely thousands more we’ll hear about in the future.

    Hang in there buddy. We all want justice, but something this big can’t be rushed just to give us some instant gratification. We want the WHOLE swamp drained, world wide and that it never return to bother the next generations.

    And if I’m wrong,,,,,well we’re all stuffed anyway.

    Q

    • Phil – I’ve been enjoying the show and eating bags of popcorn along the way since ‘Q’ first came on the scene in October, 2017. You forgot to mention the probable death of Lord Rothschild in that helicopter and light airplane crash over the Rothschild estate during 2018 and the quick abandonment and quick sale of their German estate, following the anti-Human trafficking EO that Trump signed on December, 21, 2017. Mike and Lyn Rothschild now run the evil, but diminishing daily, empire. WWG1WGA

  18. Phil, you’ve been drinking too much of the Trump Kool-aid.

    I’m well aware of Trump’s boasts about taking out ISIS.

    ( Just like his absurd boasts about America having the best economy EVER under his tenure ).

    For the record, the U.S economy is an insolvent house of cards & it’s day of reckoning will soon be nigh .

    Reverting back on subject , why would America destroy the mercenary army of jihadi proxies (aka ISIS) that the CIA & Israeli Mossad painstakingly trained & funded ( funding came indirectly via U.S vassals like Saudi Arabia , UAE etc) ?

    Of course they would not & did not. They spent most of their time bombing Assad’s army ( the mortal enemy of ISIS & were thus HINDERING the effort to destroy ISIS )

    Bashar al-Assad's Syrian army (involved in an existential fight for its life with ISIS) , working in conjunction with the Russian army brought about the destruction of ISIS.

    All objective analyses of that conflict have confirmed this.

    I’m well aware of the claims that Trump was behind the deaths McCain & Bush 41. ( The latter was well into his 90’s so he could well have caught the common cold & died from that ).

    Have you gotten word from any objective forensic pathologists that were present at the autopsies of either confirming that one or both were executed ?

    Even if the ignorant masses were thrown some red meat (in the form of McCain’s execution) , the cabal may have cut him loose because he was a has-been & was of no further use to them.

    ( This act would also earn Brownie points for Trump in the eyes of the plebs & ‘prove’ that Trump was going to pick off the cabal constituents one by one ) .

    I’ve also heard of the alleged 1000’s of child traffickers / pornographers but have seen no proof that , be it in the U.S or elsewhere , any more than the usual number of lowly NON-CABAL affiliiated miscreants have been prosecuted under Trump’s tenure than in any previous administration.

    As for the so-called scalp of Epstein , he was worth more alive than dead ( as he had the ability to divulge info on scores of actual cabal kiddie fiddlers ).

    Knowing that, Trump could have issued an executive order if need be to arrange for a team of patriotic special forces / military troops loyal to the constitution to watch over Epstein day & night to make sure he stayed alive.

    BUT, it was not in his best interests to do that . ( Seeing as Trump would be just as much implicated by his old mate Epstein as Lolita Express regular Bill Clinton ).

    No, Trump had a vested interest in seeing Epstein dead.

    • “Have you gotten word from any objective forensic pathologists that were present at the autopsies of either confirming that one or both were executed ?”
      Yeah, they call me daily with updates. As if.
      And Jeffrey Epstein didn’t kill himself. BTW.

    • “( This act would also earn Brownie points for Trump in the eyes of the plebs & ‘prove’ that Trump was going to pick off the cabal constituents one by one ) .”

      One could say “heckuva job Brownie” to this. (if anyone remembers that little gem).

  19. Also Phil, if you’re wrong , we’re not all stuffed. ( Since you’re implying that Trump is our last hope ).

    If Trump is indeed our last hope then YES, we are most assuredly stuffed.

    Phil, if you’re wrong then it means nothing more than that …… you’re wrong.

    And that we can then go about applying our critical thinking skills to selecting candidates that are NOT bought & paid for by the Zio-cabal.

    Ron Paul was one such candidate. He was cheated out of being the 2012 Republican Presidential nominee to take on Obama.
    Allowed the opportunity to get his message out, I believe he would’ve become POTUS.

    Another such candidate for the Democrats this year is Tulsi Gabbard who will reverse America's present (under Trump) genocidal foreign policy .

    But, the cabal will see to it that Tulsi has no chance ( just as they saw to it that their man Trump made it all the way ) .

    • “And that we can then go about applying our critical thinking skills to selecting candidates that are NOT bought & paid for by the Zio-cabal”
      Your faith in our totally corrupt voting system is astounding. Firstly, few Aussie voters HAVE critical thinking skills anymore.Constant propaganda has fixed that. On top of that, we get to choose from whoever the Cabal selects for us. Labor or Liberal?? Same, same..It’s rigged. But you surely must know that.

      “Phil, if you’re wrong then it means nothing more than that …… you’re wrong.”. Apart from the fact that the world would have President Hillary and probably World War 3 already underway.As to who destroyed ISIS, I get that Russia did the hard work. We all saw the Kalibr missiles launched from the Black Sea fleet smashing ISIS compounds with pin-point accuracy And the Russian Air Force taking out the ISIS oil convoys heading to Turkey. Maybe Putin gave Trump some credit to help him domestically. Who knows what happens behind closed doors.Remember Putin giving Trump the Soccer Ball in Helsinki?? What info.was inside that ball? Hillary’s server?? They’re obviously cooperating to some degree.

  20. When the externally orchestrated insurgency began in Syria in 2011, I was just like most others – working around the clock and catching the occasional hourly news bulletin on the beloved ABC (or similar). I didn’t question a thing, as I had not questioned anything prior to that. (Yes James, I had no idea about 9-11.)

    Then I stumbled across an increasing number of dissident voices including Eva Bartlett and Vanessa Beeley. But there are others. I think among the first were Rev Andrew Ashdown with a UK Peace Delegation, and Madelyn Hoffman with the US Peace Council. Take your pick …

    Rev Andrew Ashdown was a member of the multi-faith UK Peace Delegation to Syria in 2016 and was interviewed by Mike Robinson on UK Column News:

    • UK Column News – A Tour of Syrian Realities with Andrew Ashdown (6th October 2016)
    • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zT17RRF_dLM

    Rev Ashdown: “Everywhere we went the narratives that we hear, here in the West, are just completely – almost just thrown out the window.”

    Similarly, Madelyn Hoffman as a member of the US Peace Council

    • Madelyn Hoffman of US Peace Council (Excerpt)
    • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fMC8bmHhPK4

    Hoffman: “… it is NOT President Assad against his own people – it is President Assad AND the Syrian people ALL TOGETHER – IN UNITY – against outside forces – outside mercenary forces – TERROR ORGANISATIONS … “

    more …

  21. But back on topic …

  22. We are stuffed there, we are stuffed here and I am stuffed if I know.
    All a lot of stuffing fun, lets all stuff together and await the great stuffing.
    Sorry! Go for it…..whatever? We can wait, because none of you can make a stuff of difference.

    Here is a good site where you can learn Chinese – at least we didn’t have to learn German.

    (I am doing the Russian thread – slowly.)

  24. You know Skoolafish , I forgot to give my two cents on your link posted at 2.36pm this afternoon.
    ie: American Pravda : Mossad Assassinations ( taken from the Unz Review ) .

    You know, of all the links to articles posted on Gumshoe in recent times , that one (in my opinion) is the standout.

    It’s a long read but it’s the most enlightening , epiphany inducing article written by a genuine truth seeker that’s not beholden to anyone (Ron Unz) , that you’re likely to read this year.

    It really is that good.

  25. As for Fish’s list of (mostly) pre-emptive wars of aggression initiated by the United States , how much more proof do we need that the cabal that controls the levers of government in America , really is the great Satan.

    The sooner Australia regains its sovereignty & ends entangling military alliances with all & sundry , the sooner we’ll restore our dignity & independence .

  28. Re coronavirus quarantine – just monitoring developments with interest …

    Mr. Pompeo claims to have lost his axe – “To The Point” on CGTN

    Interesting to connect the comments, particularly from around 2:50 regarding the US declaring the global state emergency of to headlines such as these

    Why Is The Government Turning 11 Military Bases Inside The United States Into Quarantine Camps?

    https://www.investmentwatchblog.com/why-is-the-government-turning-11-military-bases-inside-the-united-states-into-quarantine-camps/

  29. Phil, I have no illusions about the corrupt voting system in the U.S ( & very likely here in Oz too ).

    But, to the extent that the public can get behind a decent candidate that’s not beholden to the Zio-cabal ( like a Ron Paul in 2012 or a Tulsi Gabbard this year ) , if a critical mass of support can be achieved for such a candidate & it is obvious that this is the people’s choice , then the only way for the Zio-cabal to prevent them from becoming the nominee is rig the voting & blatantly cheat them.

    This they did to Ron Paul in 2012 & again to Bernie Sanders in 2016 . ( They were a little more brash in disposing of Robert F. Kennedy in 1968 ).

    So, once most people wake up to the fact that , as George Carlin ( I think ) once said :
    ‘ We do not have elections in this country, We have selections ‘ , then we can have a revolution & where the war mongering oligarchs are weeded out & the present system overthrown .

    As for things being worse had Hillary been elected , let me tell you that I was well & truly on the Trump train in the lead up to 2016 election & the first months of his Presidency.

    Candidate Trump said most of the right things : ie: we’re wasting money on these pointless wars , we should bring our troops back home , I’ll sit down with Putin & negotiate things etc.

    But it soon became clear ( & is now abundantly obvious ), that Trump has delivered on NONE of the major platforms.

    Not only has Trump not delivered on his promise to wind back American foreign policy aggression, he has ESCALATED the bombing on poor 3rd world villagers to a level greater than anything in the last 10 years :

    https://www.antiwar.com/blog/2020/01/28/more-bombs-than-ever-trump-escalates-obamas-good-war-in-afghanistan/

    Would there have been a WW111 if Hillary got elected ? The U.S military is unable / unwilling to take on Iran which has significantly better weaponry & defensive capability than Iraq ever had so there is NO chance that the U.S (irrespective of who leads it ), would ever confront the likes of a China or Russia & initiate a world war .

    Bottom Line : Because that faction of the Zio-cabal that supports Trump has a lot to lose by the imposition of Green mitigation policies ( eg: carbon tax etc ) , his handlers have instructed him to pull out of the Paris Climate Agreement * – because imposition of the left’s climate policies would bring the U.S economy to a grinding halt.

    In normal circumstances I would give Trump credit for at least not succumbing to the Climate Chnage hoax but, seeing as Trump is reading from a script handed down to him by his handlers , no accolades will be forthcoming.

    Other than that , as is patently obvious , there is NO TANGIBLE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN & HILLARY PRESIDENCY & A TRUMP ONE.

    ( Except that Trump’s administration has been recklessly profligate in spending on more weapons of death to a degree that even Hillary would not have contemplated ).

  30. Slightly off topic, we turn attention to the support Pete Buttigieg is getting from Jewish billionaires in his bid to get the Democratic nomination.

    It seems that the faction of the Deep State which is left leaning / pro-Democrat / pro-Climate Change hoax agenda ( as opposed to the other faction of the Zio-cabal that’s in Trump’s corner ) , is going all-in with Buttigieg.

    Ex-CIA Phil Giraldi elaborates :

    https://www.lewrockwell.com/2020/02/phil-giraldi/is-pete-buttigieg-the-israel-lobby-choice/

    The following paragraph is an excerpt from this article :

    In short, Buttigieg is a manufactured corporate candidate who is little more than an empty suit, having no core values whatsoever apart from seeking to become the first gay president. The Establishment is comfortable with him and he is good-looking, seemingly affable and articulate, though he suffers from an unpronounceable surname. He has now checked the box making him acceptable to the Israeli government and its powerful domestic lobby, which have always been suspicious of Trump even as he gives them gift after gift. Being Israel-friendly is also a must with the mainstream media.
