Man dies from rat-borne hantavirus with symptoms like coronavirus
Governments have to stop prioritising the economy over the welfare of the people!!! If we do not go extinct from a Pandemic, then we will surely go extinct from anthropogenic global warming & climate change!!!
The people NEED to act now, it is now too late to stop anthropogenic global warming, the government & the people have left it too late for that, but we could slow global warming down by stopping the burning of fossil fuels completely.

Scientists identify 'more aggressive' coronavirus strain!!!
As scientists around the world work to better understand the COVID-19
disease, scientists in China believe they have discovered a mutation in
coronavirus that is fuelling the global outbreak.
The deadly coronavirus has mutated into two strains, one of which
appears to be far more aggressive.
That’s the preliminary findings from researchers at Peking
University's School of Life Sciences and the Institute Pasteur of Shanghai in
China, in a paper examining the “origin and continuing evolution” of what’s
been officially dubbed SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome
coronavirus 2).

Dire warning that coronavirus could infect billions of people
The chief of the World Health Organisation has urged countries to
work together against the "grave
threat" posed by the coronavirus outbreak as an expert revealed
there was potential for billions across the world to be infected by the deadly
virus.
The WHO is holding a conference in Geneva on combating the virus,
which has killed more than 1100 people in China and spread to dozens of
countries around the world.
WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said viruses could have
"more powerful consequences than any terrorist action".

Could this become a Pandemic!!! Coronavirus
130 people have died from it and over 6000 cases have been
confirmed in 17 countries. Those numbers are climbing by the day.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has just changed its ranking of
the virus's global threat from 'moderate' to 'high'.

The Coming Pandemic, Only a Matter of Time!
Outbreak from
Wuhan coronavirus rises to 440 in China, with 9 dead
Officials in China are racing to contain the outbreak of a new virus that has left at least nine people dead and
sickened more than 440, after it was confirmed the infection can be passed between humans.
The spread of the respiratory virus to Thailand, Japan, South Korea,
Taiwan, and now the United States, is fueling fears of a broader epidemic, as
China enters its busiest travel period of the year.
Wuhan, the central Chinese city where the coronavirus was first detected, announced a series of
new measures Tuesday, including the cancellation of upcoming Lunar New Year
celebrations, which had been expected to attract hundreds of thousands of
people.
With our modern fast transport systems, diseases can spread worldwide in hours!!!

Thoughts for The Week by Ron Owen of Owen Guns.
Thoughts For The Week.
“As in nature, politics abhors a power vacuum.”
History has shown that weak, undefended countries are short lived experiences, until filled by a more violent power.
“We have between two and three years to go, before we have a major confrontation with China.”
History through the ages is littered with examples of Australia’s current demise. The pages of history prove to us that when presented with a power vacuum: there will arise a force; a country and Empire which will try to fill that void. History also shows that the force will be sinister. A force that will take away your liberty, your property, your happiness, and ultimately your life. I have seen the modern examples in my own lifetime, in the form of Communism, and have second generation knowledge of the scourge of Fascism in Nazi Germany, Italy, and the Imperial designs of the Japanese empire. Only 1 in a 100 examples are power voids filled by a benign power and China does not have a record of being benign.
Anson Chan, the former chief secretary of Hong Kong, occupied a position of trust unique in history. She was the last head of the Hong Kong civil service under the British and the first under the Chinese. She served four years under each, evidence that both powers trusted her impartiality and professionalism.
“I don’t think Australians understand the sort of country they’re dealing with. Look at the way they are infiltrating, even in Australia,” she said during a visit to Melbourne in 2016. “Australia is a very open society, so it wouldn’t occur to most people the designs of the one-party state. And it wouldn’t have occurred to the people of Hong Kong until we experienced it first-hand. No one should be under any illusions about the objective of the Communist Party leadership: it’s long-term, systematic infiltration of social organisations, media and government. By the time China’s infiltration of Australia is readily apparent, it will be too late.”

We’ve seen the pattern throughout history, with the empires,
monarchies and savagery of forces seeking to conquer their known world,
Babylonians, Greeks, Egyptians, Romans, Saxons, Danes, Norman, Mongols, the
Spanish Armada, Napoleon, National Socialism, Hitler, Japanese Imperialism,
Communism, Lenin and now Chinese Communism. They all have to try, as they know
that if they fail to take an area someone else will fill the void. Power always
seeks the ultimate in power. The opportunists are always rewarded, but not all
win, some ultimately fail, but all leave behind them a total devastation,
battlefields, personal human losses that in every instance the surviving common
folk have to deal with until the next tyrant comes along. If there are any
survivors at all.
Our Current Appeaser.
China’s ‘game-changing’ position will ‘reset the world order’, PM Scott Morrison says. China’s increased influence needed to be understood in terms of its rise.
“China in our lifetime has gone from a developing country, one of not great economic size or scale and not a large military, to the second biggest economy in the world with one of the largest militaries,” he said. “So it’s obviously been the game-changing country of our era and our generation. That’s obviously going to reset the world order. “We just need to understand that in its context. They’re a much bigger country than they used to be with much more influence, and that’s just something the system has to absorb and adapt to.”
Asked if the average Australian should be worried about China, he said “worry is not the word”.

Would “Petrified” be more of an honest response?
Is he mentally retarded, or is he a paid traitor for the Chinese like some of our other parliamentarians? Could he really be that blind to Chinese intentions.
Since 1949 China’s policy has been a never-ending pursuit of power, the relentlessly expanding influence and paranoid nature of the Chinese Communist Party invaded Korea, Tibet, Mongolia, East Turkestan, India, Vietnam means that it will continue to press outwards unless and until it meets resistance. It would be in Taiwan in a heart beat and is bursting to suppress Hong Kong. It has invaded Philippine’s Territory in the South China Sea and the world has done nothing. It has invaded Australian Antarctic Territory and Australia has not even asked them to leave. At home and abroad, it imposes one control after another until it is satisfied that it has total control. It is an ideology of authoritarianism animated by a psychology of totalitarianism.

The Appeasers are Sedated by this sort of Nonsense.
1. “No China can’t invade Australia.
China cannot break out of the first Island Chain or successfully invade Taiwan with a guarantee of success let alone Australia.”
Answer. The USA is not going to risk losing half its major cities to Chinese Ballistic Missiles to save Australia, South Korea, or Taiwan, or the Philippines. Once the threat of Nuclear War with the USA is removed, or fully cancelled Taiwan will not last a week.

2. “The distances are massive, 9,000km to Sydney, let alone
Melbourne, Adelaide and the interior. China’s long supply lines can be easily
interdicted by naval and air forces.”
Answer . China no longer has long supply lines it has bases all around us. Besides the South China Sea bases it has these as marked on the map.
Answer . China no longer has long supply lines it has bases all around us. Besides the South China Sea bases it has these as marked on the map.
3. “The forces required to invade Australia and secure it, are
massive. Think of the Germans invading the USSR, Australia has great depth to
fall back, hide, and counter attack at our choosing. No nation can successfully
hold onto Australia with the deployments of hundreds of thousands of soldiers,
perhaps a million.”
Answer . China has over 2 million men in its Army and millions more to call up. The Chinese also have a large well paid fifth column within Australia and subscribe to the creed to “Win Without Fighting”. Similar to Hitler’s strategy with the Appeasers he took the Rhineland, Austria and Czechoslovakia without fighting. Once they cut off our oil supplies and military goods our leaders will surrender and fly off to the South of France.

4. “The ADF would not engage in head on battles after a
successful invasion, instead hit supply lines, logistics, hit and run tactics,
use terrain and local knowledge to our advantage. Prior to the invasion force
arriving which will need to traverse tight sea lanes and be visible to anyone
who is looking.”
Answer. Amazing that people still see danger coming from the North of Australia, they imagine an enemy would be stupid enough to land in Northern Territory and march down to the southern capitals, when if all of their other ploys failed and they did have to fight they could either fly into the airports that they already own, or land anywhere between Sydney and Melbourne and drive to Canberra, or both. We have nothing to stop them. They have a Navy and Air force and we don’t.

We have nothing to stop them. They have a Navy and Air force and we don’t.
5. “The Jindalee over the Horizon Radar System can track planes
and ships in the South China Sea as far as Southern China. A large fleet headed
to Australia would be tracked by this system or via satellite. Submarines and
Aircraft would be used to either stop this fleet or reduce its effectiveness.”
Answer. More than likely China will take an off shore island like Lord Howe Island and one of the Chesterton Island and once supplied with J20 supersonic jet fighters and lots of missiles before turning off all our imports. From our six Collins Class Submarines we might get one to go to sea, as they are based in Western Australia it might take a fortnight to get to Torres Straits for its suicide run. China has 60 submarines and submarine drones even if we could send one or two destroyers or frigates they would be committing suicide again Chinese battle fleets with plenty of air cover.

6. “China would have limited or no air support. China has 1
Aircraft carrier with 1 locally built carrier soon to join the fleet. The
limited numbers of aircraft they carry do not pose a significant threat to
Australia’s air force which is also obtaining the F-35 Stealth Fighter. You
only need to hit the air craft carrier to take out China’s air cover, then
prevent China taking an airport/base as part of its invasion which would leave
Chinese troops at the mercy of the Australian Air Force, it would be a
slaughter. Australia would lose a number of F-18 Super Hornets to ship based
defences, however combined with limited numbers F-35’s, P-8 Poseidon maritime
strike planes, let alone the Australian Navy which would first use Collins
Class Submarines.”
Answer. The Government stooge who writes the above clap trap has obviously not been informed of the two Chinese airport already here in Western Australia both controlled by Chinese State Corporations Citic and China Southern Airlines. The writer obviosly would not know that off shore Islands unlike aircraft carriers are un-sinkable, that China would not have to bring its carriers into the range of our air force, yet Chinese aircraft could dominate all of the East coast of Australia as the J20 has a range of 1100 miles. The J20 aircraft is considered a good match for the F35 maybe better, but no matter China has a lot more of them and has the factories that produce more when needed.

7. “Tiger attack helicopters would attack and landings and
without air cover Chinese invading Ground forces would be decimated and easily
repelled by the Australian Army. The US would also quickly resupply Australia
with new aircraft, they have plenty of F-18 Super Hornets in the inventory to
send us, plus the F-35’s will be rolling of the production line, they would be
sent to the Australian air force to replace losses just as they did to Israel
in its wars, we could also obtain resupply of smart missiles/bombs and other
equipment we would require.”
Answer. Our 22 Tiger attack helicopter might have 12 working, China can draw on 1004, it also has 1500 fighter jets to give it as much air cover as it needs. The F-35s can role off the production line in the USA but Australia will have no means of flying or sailing them into the country. Re-supply of anything will be zero, as all sea way and air ways will be blocked by Chinese missiles or aircraft.

Re-supply of anything will be zero, as all sea way and air ways will be blocked by Chinese missiles or aircraft.
8. For China to successfully have any chance of invading
Australia it would need to secure air bases and ports closer to Australia such
as in Indonesia or PNG. This build-up of Chinese forces and bases would be seen
and known well in advance and preparations would be made for a potential
Chinese invasion. Without land based support from aircraft and a much shorter
supply line an invasion would fail. Even with this the numbers of troops
required to secure Australia’s population and hold the land against counter
attack by Australian allies such as the US, Britain, NZ, Japan, Singapore to
name a few would be immense and not possible.
Answer. We know about it already in advance anyway, we are surrounded by Chinese air bases and deep water ports. It has been seen, but our Appeasement Governments are too scared to alert Australia and place it on a ready for war footing. Defence problems happen quickly, China has land based support for its aircraft and short distances to its local ports and bases. China’s bases in Antarctica would assist with targeting Chinese missiles to knock out all government infrastructure. China has had much experience in securing civilian populations, it eliminates the none useful and makes slaves of only the ones worth feeding.
Good British, Canadian and American people would want there governments to assist Australia but they would be powerless to assist, China has its bases all in a row, it would control the Indian Ocean, the Pacific Ocean and the vast resources of the Southern Ocean, China’s southern flank will be secured they might be able to impose trade sanctions on China for a few years, they might stop the World Bank paying China a Billion US dollars every year in aid, but with all the resources from Antarctica, Australia and the South Pacific China will be an unstoppable world power. Japan, Taiwan, Malaysia. Indonesia, Africa and India will be the next ducks in the row.
China will not care about Global Warming, or Save the Whales, they want world domination and nothing will stand in their way. Ron Owen

VOTE BUYING, WHO CONTROLS AUSTRALIA?
Thoughts for the Week.
VOTE BUYING, WHO CONTROLS AUSTRALIA?
VOTE BUYING, WHO CONTROLS AUSTRALIA?
For forty years, the Billionaire George Sorus has spent millions supporting
‘Gun Control Australia’, ‘Get Back’ ‘Friends of the ABC’ to promote his
socialist, disarmament appeasement and to that end has installed his puppets on
both sides of Parliament. He has paid the media to make Australians believe
that they have No Rights, No meaningful Constitution and No protections under
the law of the land. He has weaponized his vast wealth to erode those rights in
every corner of the country by supporting anti-rights initiatives and
anti-firearm politicians. He has waged a war on people who have committed no
crimes, harmed nobody and merely wish to be left alone to mind their own
business. Now, they are making the move to re-categorise Straight Pull, Bolt
Action Shotguns and Rifles. By making them a different category most firearm
owners will not be able to retain or apply for them.
They have Border Force (Gestapo) refusing entry into Australia of
firearms on the pretext that there is a crimp in the magazine, (press metal
magazine are impossible to make without crimping of some sort) and serial
numbers that are not the size that they have dictated. Aside from George Sorus
buying and selling our universities, media and political parties we have his
twin socialist hero’s buying Australian real estate, electrical companies,
water supplies, and bribing our political parties. These Chinese businessmen
are not super smart entrpreneurial capitalists, behind everyone of them is the
slave state monolith of the Communist Chinese Government.
China have been programming the heads of our government since Gothic Prime Minister Gough Whitlam and even if we don’t believe that Prime Minister Harold Holt was taken away from Portsea on the 17th November 1967 by a Chinese submarine, China was the greatest beneficiary, as we have had “Wimps Are Us” for Prime Ministers ever since. Since the signing of the Lima Agreement we have born the cost, given away our manufacturing and production, (even food is being imported from China) given away our security as an independent nation and if China has a little cough, our politicians Kow Tow in submission.

IS ‘APPEASEMENT’ TREASON? 1
In 2015 the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO) reportedly warned the major political parties that two of Australia’s most generous donors had “strong connections to the Chinese Communist Party” and that their “donations might come with strings attached”. In December 2017, an unsourced report in The Australian said ASIO had identified candidates at state and local government elections whom it believed had close ties to Chinese intelligence services “in what security officials assess as a deliberate strategy by Beijing to wield influence through Australian politics”. Most notoriously, a Labor Party senator, Sam Dastyari, was forced to retire after Fairfax Media revealed that he had recited Beijing’s South China Sea talking points while standing alongside a Chinese citizen donor – and then counselled the donor to place his phone aside to avoid surveillance of their conversation.

According to ‘The Australian’, China’s security chief, Meng Jianzhu,
warned the Labor leadership about the electoral consequences of failing to
endorse a bilateral extradition treaty: “Mr Meng said it would be a shame
if Chinese government representatives had to tell the Chinese community in
Australia that Labor did not support the relationship between Australia and China.”
“We shall see how the counsels of prudence and restraint may become
the prime agents of mortal danger; how the middle course adopted from desires
for safety and a quiet life may be found to lead direct to the bull’s-eye of
disaster.”

Is ‘Appeasement’ Treason? 2
Here we are 20 million people, defenceless, dependent on China for food, clothing and toilet paper, sitting on a continent that has a major section of the worlds resources. Already, the Australian people have very little say in the countries direction, just think for how long have the majority opposed the importation of illegal, unwanted, immigrants, refugees who are not really refugees but economic invaders, how long have the people called out for a government that would defend our borders.

“If you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without
bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too
costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the
odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a
worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it
is better to perish than to live as slaves.”

THE GATHERING STORM
A few months ago I became particularly interested in this Defence Subject when on watching a few minutes of the TV program ABC Drum, which has a panel of typical Bimbette’s, (No Bimbo’s as the ABC and SBS only have female experts on everything, except for the fraud Bruce Pascoe of course who follows their traditional suppression of the truth), where one of the Bimbette’s experts came out with one of those all knowing statements. “China, since its communist state began in 1949 has never invaded another country”. I immediately growled under my breath, tell that to the Tibetan, Vietnamese, Koreans, Indians, Xinjiang, otherwise known as East Turkestan, with a population of more than 20 million mostly Ugyhurs. Turkestan was independent till the Chinese invasion of 1949. Tell that to the brave Umbrella protestors in Hong Kong. They know that death awaits them eventually, but still protest and face gas and bullets with Umbrella’s. The islands between the Chinese Mainland and Taiwan have been the target for Chinese artillery for many years. They might also have forgotten the Spratley Islands that China has invaded and turned into armed installations is the territory of the Phillippines. So is this mis-information paid for purposely, orchestrated lies, or is it just ignorance perpetuated by the blind leading the blind?

The Spratley Islands are NOT Chinese Territory.
In the previous editions we have well covered the what is called
China’s extraterritorial influence described variously as “United Front work”
and “influence operations”. “sharp power”, and then to “Hard Power”.
In other countries, this process may begin with a Confucius Institute, scholarships, grants, but the next thing you know you must self-censor discussions China considers sensitive. In the face of this authoritarian onslaught of China’s misinformation, cyber hacking, bribery, economic coercion, theft of technology, and intrusion in internal politics. This seems to be the formula that has been so successfully used in Australia and has been even more successful in New Zealand.

“Delight in smooth-sounding platitudes, refusal to face unpleasant
facts, desire for popularity and electoral success irrespective of the vital
interests of the State, genuine love of peace and pathetic belief that love can
be its sole foundation, obvious lack of intellectual vigour in both leaders of
the British Coalition Government, marked ignorance of Europe and aversion from
its problems in Mr. Baldwin, the strong and violent pacifism which at this time
dominated the Labour-Socialist Party, the utter devotion of the Liberals to
sentiment apart from reality, the failure and worse than failure of Mr. Lloyd
George, the erstwhile great war-time leader, to address himself to the
continuity of his work, the whole supported by overwhelming majorities in both
Houses of Parliament: all these constituted a picture of British fatuity and
fecklessness which, though devoid of guile, was not devoid of guilt, and, though
free from wickedness or evil design, played a definite part in the unleashing
upon the world of horrors and miseries which, even so far as they have
unfolded, are already beyond comparison in human experience.”
Winston S. Churchill, The Gathering Storm
Winston S. Churchill, The Gathering Storm
In my August Bulletin “Thoughts of the Week” to summarise I explained
Australia’s lack of an adequate defence force, our lack of Defence Industries,
the scenario of China building an Island base at Long Island, (Chesterfield
Islands) and then moving on to Lord Howe Island. The inability and lack of
interest for any other nation to move them. (As with the South China Sea
Spratley Islands, the USA has not stepped in to throw China off the Islands
that the Philippines claims as its territory) The probability that China
dominating all of Australia’s sea and air ways would blockade, preventing the
importation of fuel, or manufacturing materials, in less then 25 days diesel
fuel and petrol would run out, food would not be delivered to the shops,
Australia the land of plenty would starve. Australian politicians would
surrender, do a deal and fly to the South of France. The Australian population
being superfluous to the Chinese requirements would die out.
In my September Bulletin, “Thoughts of the Week” I showed how the
Chinese Communist Party leadership massacred its own young people at Tiananmen
Square and supplied a speech from Chief of General Staff and Vice -Chairman
China’s Military Commission Comrade Chi Haotian stating that they are preparing
the way for world domination. Australia is a part of that world and is one of
China’s main targets.
“ If China’s global development will necessitate massive deaths in
enemy countries; will our people endorse that scenario? Will they be for or
against it? The fact is, our ‘development’ refers to the great revitalization
of the Chinese nation, which, of course, is not limited to the land we have now
but also includes the whole world.
Only countries like the United States, Canada and Australia have the vast land to serve our need for mass colonization.”
Only countries like the United States, Canada and Australia have the vast land to serve our need for mass colonization.”
Over 2 million men in the Chinese Army, Does that mean every
Australian Firearm Owner needs only to shoot once?
In the October Bulletin Thoughts of the Week. I included photos of
the October 1st 70th Anniversary Parade in Beijing (of the Communist take over)
where the Chinese Government showed off its military technological superiority
over the United States and quoted the Chinese President Xi Jinping, delivered a
speech invoking the “Chinese dream” of national rejuvenation, his grand vision
of restoring the country to his perceived past glory.
“No force can stop the Chinese people and the Chinese nation forging
ahead.”
“There is no force that can shake the foundation of this great
nation,” Xi said
“Unity is iron and steel; unity is a source of strength,” Xi
said, according to an English-language transcript from the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs.
There is an Obvious Pattern Forming Surrounding Australia.
Besides taking over the Spratley Islands and turning it into a Chinese Military Base with airports and manufacturing a deep water port facilities it claims the 200 miles of territorial waters around it. China has leased the Port of Darwin on our mainland. It leases two airports in Western Australia. China was within an inch of formalising a 75 year lease on the Island of Tulagi. Tulagi is in the Solomon Island on the northern edge of the Coral Sea. The deal would allow the communist country authority rights to the island’s deep water port, oil, gas, fishing, forestry and tourism.
Though the plan for a 75-year lease was unsuccessful, another of China’s plans was recently executed. A $825 million deal was struck to allow China to redevelop the Solomon Islands’ Gold Ridge mine. Chinese ambassador Xue Bing, described the deal as an “early harvest”.
Along with the profits from the mine, all port facilities, roads, rail and bridges built to service it will also remain in China’s control.

DEBT TRAP DIPLOMACY
A former intelligence chief of the US Navy’s Pacific Fleet, Captain
Jim Fanell, said that China’s interest in the area could have future impacts on
Australia. “They’re (China) interested in this area because it’s
essentially the lifeline or the choke point between America and Australia and
New Zealand,” he said. “China has built the navy that people said they were
never going to build. China has deployed their fleet to places which they said
they were never going to sail to and they are sending their fleets around the
world.”. “They believe that they’re supposed to be the rightful leaders of
this new global order. The British century, the American century, now we’re
going to have the Chinese century. That’s their vision.”
“With the flip at Kiribati and the Solomons, and what they’re doing
in Vanuatu, what they’re doing in Fiji, you start to see a trend line here,” China
quite clearly wants to dominate East Asia and the Pacific, pushing out the U.S.
as the region’s dominant military power. Shortly, China will hold an invaluable
base controlling the approach to Australia, and if the Solomon Islands borrow
from China to pay for ports and other facilities and default, they could open
the door for untrammelled military development.
“John Adams said infamously, “that a way to subjugate a country
is through either the sword or debt”. China has chosen the latter,”
Captain Fanell, above quote appears to be the proof of it. As well as
the Chinese building a deep water port in Fiji and Kiribati large enough for
Aircraft Carriers, they have recently gained full control of the Sri Lanka Port
of Hambantota. Under heavy pressure and after months of negotiations with the
Chinese, the government handed over the port and 15,000 acres of land around it
for 99 years. The large Chinese loans, inability of the Sri Lankan government
to service the loans, and subsequent 99-year Chinese lease on the port have led
to accusations that China was practising debt trap diplomacy.
Chinese Submarines have already began to call in for re supply visits
The transfer gave China control of territory just a few hundred miles off the
shores of a rival, India, and a strategic foothold along a critical commercial
and military waterway. During the 2015 Sri Lankan elections, large payments
from the Chinese port construction fund flowed directly to campaign aides and
activities for Mr. Rajapaksa, who had agreed to Chinese terms at every turn and
was seen as an important ally in China’s efforts to tilt influence away from
India in South Asia. The payments were confirmed by documents and cash checks
detailed in a government investigation. It took control of Nigeria’s Tin-Can
Island Container Terminal (TICT)
THE STRING OF PEARL IS AROUND AUSTRALIA’S NECK.
The String of Pearls is a geopolitical theory on potential Chinese
intentions in the Indian Ocean region. It refers to the network of Chinese
military and commercial facilities and relationships along its sea lines of
communication, which extend from the Chinese mainland to Port Sudan in the Horn
of Africa. The sea lines run through several major maritime choke points such
as the Strait of Mandeb, the Strait of Malacca, the Strait of Hormuz, and the
Lombok Strait as well as other strategic maritime centres in Pakistan, Sri
Lanka, Bangladesh, the Maldives, and Somalia. Chinese-controlled deep-water
port near the mouth of the Persian Gulf in Gwadar, Pakistan, which is also the
crux of China’s massive $62 billion China Pakistan Economic Corridor project.
The port at Gwadar, which is connected to the Karakoram Highway linking Western
China and the Arabian Sea, is and should be a concern for the Australian
government and an even greater concern to the Indian government, which should
view it as powerful evidence of Chinese and Pakistani collusion against Indian
security and economic interests.
JAPAN’S NECK COULD BE CRUSHED At ANYTIME.
90% of Japan’s imported oil flows to Japan through the sea lanes of
the South China Sea, and any undue Chinese influence in the region is seen as a
potential threat to Japanese economic security. Moreover, Japanese officials
envision that, in the case of a more pervasive Chinese power projection
capability in East Asia, territorial disputes between China and Japan in the East
China Sea and Philippine Sea might escalate to a point of outright military
confrontation. In particular, the Senkaku, which is claimed by China but
controlled by Japan, and Ryukyu island chains, are identified as key friction
points between the two countries.
“Strength, moreover, could have been used in righteous causes with
little risk of bloodshed. In their loss of purpose, in their abandonment even
of the themes they most sincerely espoused, (Australia) Britain, France, and
most of all, because of their immense power and impartiality, the United
States, allowed conditions to be gradually built up which led to the very
climax they dreaded most. They have only to repeat the same well-meaning,
short-sighted behaviour towards the new problems which in singular resemblance
confront us to-day to bring about a third convulsion from which none may live
to tell the tale.”

BOURGAINVILLE
Bougainville is another hot spot where China has been financing an independence movement, to break away from Papua New Guinea. Apparently, if the Independence movement succeeds in the current elections there is no doubt where the finance will come from to re-open the huge reserves left in Panguna (copper) mine. Given the new strategic landscape, between the retreating USA (America First movement) we can bet that Bougainville will have new deep port facilities very quickly.

EAST TIMOR
While relations between Timor-Leste and Australia remain strained,
because of Australia’s 2004 bugging of its cabinet office, the young nation, on
half an island just 720 kilometres from Darwin, has asked China to help train
its Navy. The request was made by Timor-Leste’s defence and security minister,
Filomeno Paixao, at talks this month with Rear Admiral Yu Wenbing of the
People’s Liberation Army Navy. The talks took place during the visit to Dili of
a Chinese warship and are an unsettling reminder to Canberra of Beijing’s
growing military influence very close to home. The request for China to train Timorese
naval officers was confirmed by a local defence source.
The officers and crew of the 5,548-tonne Qi Jiguang, a Type 679
training ship, received a gala welcome as the vessel was escorted into Dili
Harbour by the Timorese patrol boat Kay Rala Xanana. The Shanghai-class patrol
boat is one of two purchased from China by Timor-Leste in 2008 to protect its
ocean fishery. Dili regards strengthening bilateral cooperation and economic
and defence ties with Beijing as a useful hedge against what some in the
government consider undue influence and pressure from the West, including from
Australia.
China, which has poured money into East Timor in recent years, has financed everything from the presidential palace to a $490 million deep-water port near Dili to an electricity grid that has given power to at least 80 percent of the population. And it has also spent a significant amount of cash near the proposed location of the on-shore part of the Greater Sunrise project, known as Tasi Mane. China has built the first leg of a new four-lane highway linking the airport in Suai with other southern coastal towns that will host the LNG plant, a petrochemical refinery and a supply base. And in April, state-owned company Timor Gap signed a $943 million contract with a China Railway Construction Corp. unit for a new port to help facilitate the main LNG plant. China signed a contract providing US$9 million toward the building of a new headquarters for the military in East Timor.

CHINA’S EXPANDING INFLUENCE IN THE ANTARCTIC
For a long time, China has been eyeing the Australian Antarctic Territory, a large portion of the Antarctic that by Canberra’s definition belongs to us. In 1951, Australia and a group of interested other countries signed a document called the Antarctic Treaty System.
Australia claimed six million square kilometres of the icy continent — around 42 per cent of its total land. The Treaty recognised the sovereignty claims of Australia. However, this is not recognised by China, who were not signatories to this treaty, and they don’t recognise Australia’s claims.
Over the past decade, China has slowly been expanding its reach in Antarctica by creating networks of stations in Australia-claimed territory.

WHY IS CHINA SO INTERESTED IN THIS REGION?
Dr Adam Lockyer, a security expert at Macquarie University and author
of Australia’s Defence Strategy:
Evaluating Alternatives for a Contested Asia. Dr Lockyer said there are several reasons for China’s interest in the region. “For one thing, it’s part of their broader strategy for global domination. The rising superpower is increasing its presence everywhere, from South America to the South Pacific.”
Similar to its pursuits in the South China Sea, China is seeking to increase its influence, but fall just short of sparking an actual military conflict with the United States and its allies.

Similar to its pursuits in the South China Sea, China is seeking to increase its influence, but fall just short of sparking an actual military conflict with the United States and its allies.
China says its outposts on the Antarctic region are purely for
scientific purposes. But they could also potentially be used to aid the country
militarily.“Beijing can make legitimate claims that the installations and
outposts on the Antarctic are for scientific purposes, and you can’t argue with
that,” Dr Lockyer explained. “The fear is that they have a dual use,
and that is that they can be used in a confrontation with the US.” But also,
the region could prove hugely lucrative, holding large deposits of natural
resources.
“The US and China’s use of their Antarctic ground stations to control
offensive weapons systems and relay signals intelligence, all while conducting
legitimate scientific activity has the potential to shift the strategic balance
that has maintained peace in the Asia-Pacific for nearly 70 years. “In a time
of conflict, if the US denied others access to GPS, China and Russia could
employ BeiDou and GLONASS to guide strike weapons.”
China and Russia currently rely on GPS, but these host satellites are all controlled by the US. This means that, in the event of a conflict, America’s first tactic would be to switch these all off, leaving China blind and lost.
This is why China and Russia are working to build their own network of navigation satellites. One of the best places to communicate with those satellites is Antarctica. China’s BeiDou and Russia’s GLONASS are navigation systems. They’re not actually weapons, but they can be used to guide cruise missiles and ballistic missiles to different parts of the world.

But Dr Lockyer says it’s worrying Canberra doesn’t seem too concerned
about China’s possible ulterior motives. “The Australian government
doesn’t seem too concerned about it,” said Dr Lockyer. “They very
rarely turn around and look at what’s going on in Antarctica.” “It’s like they
forgot to lock the backdoor.”
APPEASEMENT
It is highly unlikely that the government forgot to lock the back door, or the front door, but seem to be locked into a silent panic. They can feel the noose tightening, but are petrified of speaking out about it, or heaven forbid, announcing general conscription and a re-armament plan. The Australian government could not ignore the lack of fortitude of the USA in the loss of the Philippines territorial islands in the South China Sea. The Philippines are hardly going to declare war on China, so China moves a thousand miles closer to Australia. When China can take the Australian Territory in Antarctica and no one says, boo to them, when they can take Lord Howe Island and place a few aircraft carriers and a few hundred missiles, will anyone say, boo then?

HOW LONG BEFORE CHINA MOVES ON AUSTRALIA
Some experts say two years, I would hope for three years, but
watching the Chinese advances in technology and organised power play on the
international chess board they will choke the life out of Australia in four
years or sooner.
We quickly need a re-incarnated Winston S. Churchill to awaken the people and re-arm our nation. If we do not find one, our future and the future of our children will be at best death, or worst slavery, or worst still, like the million incarcerated Uyghur (wigger people) who are just hosts for the “Body Part” market. We need new secret weapons. Weapons like their underwater drones that can be unmanned and still sink their landing ships. We have to make our own fighting drones that can beat the Chinese ones. We have to have Sovereign Industries that produce our defence products without relying on imports as without Air and Sea superiority re-supply will be impossible. Do not look for anyone to come and help us they have too much to lose. The Chinese need ‘living space” and we in Australia are up for grabs. We need leaders who forget to mention Global Warming or Gun Control. We need leaders who can re-kindle this ancient spirit, and put fire in our bellies. As it seems our future is going to be a lot harder, before if ever, it gets better.
Sir Winston S Churchill inspired nations with his use of his words and actions.
“We shall not flag or fail. We shall go on to the end. We shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be. We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender”.

Australia’s famous poet Henry Lawson, created similar nationalistic
emotions with his choice of words. Albeit at a slower pace but the intent to
arise, unite and prepare to fight for your country is very strong.
Every Man Should Own a Rifle.
“So I sit and write and ponder, while the house (parliament) is deaf and dumb,
Seeing visions “over yonder” of the war I know must come.
In the corner – not a vision – but a sign for coming days
Stand a box of ammunition and a rifle in green baize.
And in this, the living present, let the word go through the land,
Every tradesman, clerk and peasant should have these two things at hand.

No – no ranting song is needed, and no meeting, flag or fuss –
In the future, still unheeded, shall the spirit come to us!
Without feathers, drum or riot on the day that is to be,
We shall march down, very quiet, to our stations by the sea.
While the bitter parties stifle every voice that warns of war,

That was how patriots felt in the 20th Century and I admit, that is
the Century that I’m from, so even with my old bones and creaky body, I would
get a truck load of ammo and my rifle to my station by the sea. I might not be
very mobile, (it does make running away improbable) but I can still shoot
better than most, but would I have anyone on either side of me? I might have to
shout into the distant past of history, to find a new Horatius to help guard
the Gate. Ron Owen

Thoughts For The Week By Ron Owen.
Ironically, the Australia media are screaming for human rights, they want the Right to Free Speech, not for everyone of course just protection for journalists. They want exemptions to laws that keep government secrets, they want protection from the laws of defamation and discrimination. When myself and many others have been prosecuted and persecuted for speaking out about the laws of discrimination, (suffered an 8 year court case) and I suffered a 4 year case for having in my possession the recipe for manufacturing Black Powder (which is in every good encyclopaedia it has been available for 700 years) the media never came once to our defence. They manufactured stories that made me and others comparable with serial killers.
I'm not saying that they are wrong in demanding the Freedom of Speech, it is a Right of Free people.Even the High Court Australian ‘Capital Television Pty Ltd v Commonwealth”case found that the “Political Broadcasts and Political Disclosures Act 1991,[2]” which regulated political advertising during election campaigns, invalid. The High Court found the laws to be invalid, since they contravened an implied freedom of political communication in the Australian Constitution. Chief Justice Mason expressed the view that the Australian Constitution originally drew its authority from the British Imperial Parliament and although it was not mentioned in the Courts final decision the Bill of Rights of 1689 which is one of the documents that establishes the Rights of the people and the Rights of the British Imperial Parliament was referred to and discussed in the full transcript. Ironical, that the same Bill of Rights that give the Freedom of Speech, the Freedom to Petition the Freedom of Parliamenty Representation that won the case for the Australian media in the Capital Television case is the same Bill of Rights of 1689 that give us all the Right to have ‘Arms suitable for our defence’. (Protestants and Catholics) The Australian Politicians will fly immediately to the Bill of Rights to defend the Rights of Free Speech in Parliament, the Journalists will fly to the section on the Right to Petition, (as without the Right to report its impossible for the public to know a Petition is required, or what it is about, but when law abiding Firearm Owners claim the Right to have ‘Arms suitable for our Defence’, well both Politicians and Media laugh at us and state that the Bill of Rights has no meaning in Australia or anywhere else. Law Abiding Firearm Owners have been swung on the gibbet, hung, drawn, and quartered by the media zombies. Now is the time that the should all be reminded of their hypocrisy.

“Treason doth never prosper, what’s the reason?For if it prosper,
none dare call it Treason.”
Sir John Harington (1560–1612)
What does it mean, When we have a society that betrays its country so
prosperously, so epidemically that our Chinese funded politicians can not be
criticised by our Chinese funded universities nor will the finger be pointed at
the Chinese funded media.. They have all been bought and paid for all are
‘Traitors’.
The New Chinese Empire Why would Julia Bishop contribute.
Why would Julie Bishop’s when Minister for Foreign Affairs DFAT
(Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade) donated taxpayer funds to support
China’s Belt and Road initiative.
If she is not being paid by them, is she a secret communist?
We can see why Communists would seek to infiltrate our University’s.
Their god like Messiah Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov, otherwise known as ‘Lenin’
said,
“Give us the child for 8 years and it will be a Bolshevik
forever.” Taking the minds of the next generation of teachers, politicians
and journalist takes every country into his Communist International, but we do
not have a paradise to look forward to.
Lenin’s further quotes explain the forward planning.
“We must be ready to employ trickery, deceit, law-breaking,
withholding and concealing truth…”
“We can and must write in a language which sows among the masses
hate, revulsion, and scorn toward those who disagree with us.”
(Just see the re-action of hate when we expose the “Climate Change”
fraud.)
“The press should be not only a collective propagandist and a
collective agitator, but also a collective organizer of the masses.”
“The best revolutionary is youth devoid of morals.””A lie told often
enough becomes the truth.”
“There are no morals in politics there is only expedience.” “A
scoundrel may be of use to us just because he is a scoundrel.” “Our
program necessarily includes the propaganda of atheism.”
“It matters not if 90% of the Russian people perish so long as 10%
bring about a world revolution.”
Like Lenin, Stalin and Mao, and despite his more positive reputation
among Leftists, Lenin also wished to exterminate the peasant class, even
orchestrating famines to do so, in order to force his will on pure Communism.
This also proves that Communism, despite the PR, never cared at all for the
poor people.
In November 1917, at a meeting of delegates of the committees of poor
peasants, Lenin announced a new policy to eliminate Soviet peasants, known as
“kulaks”land owning peasants: “If the kulaks remain untouched, if we don’t
defeat the freeloaders, the czar and the capitalist will inevitably
return.” In July 1918, “Committees of the Poor” were created to represent
poor peasants, which played an important role in the struggle against the
kulaks, and led the process of redistribution of confiscated lands and
inventory, food surpluses from the kulaks.
All kulaks were assigned to one of three categories:
1.Those to be shot or imprisoned as decided by the local secret
political police
2.Those to be sent to Siberia, the North, the Urals or Kazakhstan,
after confiscation of their property
3.Those to be evicted from their houses and used in labour colonies
within their own districts
An OGPU secret-police functionary, Yefim Yevdokimov (1891–1939),
played a major role in organizing and supervising the round-up of peasants and
the mass executions.
This was so successful for them that they expanded the goal posts and
eliminated any area of society that they felt were against the Communist

There were numerous reports that Cheka interrogators used torture. At
Odessa the Cheka tied White officers to planks and slowly fed them into
furnaces or tanks of boiling water; in Kharkiv, scalpings and hand-flayings
were commonplace: the skin was peeled off victims’ hands to produce “gloves”;
the Voronezh Cheka rolled naked people around in barrels studded internally
with nails; victims were crucified or stoned to death at Dnipropetrovsk; the
Cheka at Kremenchuk impaled members of the clergy and buried alive rebelling
peasants; in Oryol, water was poured on naked prisoners bound in the winter
streets until they became living ice statues; in Kiev, Chinese Cheka
detachments placed rats in iron tubes sealed at one end with wire netting and
the other placed against the body of a prisoner, with the tubes being heated
until the rats gnawed through the victim’s body in an effort to escape.
Executions took place in prison cellars or courtyards, or
occasionally on the outskirts of town, during the Red Terror and Russian Civil
War. After the condemned were stripped of their clothing and other belongings,
which were shared among the Cheka executioners, they were either machine-gunned
in batches or dispatched individually with a revolver. Those killed in prison
were usually shot in the back of the neck as they entered the execution cellar,
which became littered with corpses and soaked with blood. Victims killed
outside the town were moved by truck, bound and gagged, to their place of
execution, where they sometimes were made to dig their own graves.
According to Edvard Radzinsky, “it became a common practice to take a
husband hostage and wait for his wife to come and purchase his life with her
body”. During de-Cossackization, there were massacres, according to historian Robert
Gellately, “on an unheard of scale”. The Pyatigorsk Cheka organized a “day of
Red Terror” to execute 300 people in one day, and took quotas from each part of
town. According to the Chekist Karl Lander [ru], the Cheka in Kislovodsk, “for
lack of a better idea”, killed all the patients in the hospital. In October
1920 alone more than 6,000 people were executed. Gellately adds that Communist
leaders “sought to justify their ethnic-based massacres by incorporating them
into the rubric of the ‘class struggle'”.
“For every idealistic ‘peace-maker,’ willing to renounce his right of
self-defense in order to bring-about a ‘weapons-free world,’ there is at least
one malignant war-maker, more than anxious to exploit his naivety” Margaret
Thatcher
Members of the clergy were subjected to particularly brutal abuse.
According to documents cited by the late Alexander Yakovlev, then head of the
Presidential Committee for the Rehabilitation of Victims of Political
Repression, priests, monks and nuns were crucified, thrown into cauldrons of
boiling tar, scalped, strangled, given Communion with melted lead and drowned
in holes in the ice. Many scholars have estimated these civilian deaths at 20
million conservatively and approaching 100 million. In his foreword to the book,
Martin Malia noted “a grand total of victims variously estimated by
contributors to the volume at between 85 million and 100 million dead people.
So why would Australian Universities corporate with Communist China.
UNSW Professor of Artificial Intelligence Toby Walsh said Australian
universities were walking down a dangerous road and should consider carefully
who they collaborate with.
“We’ve seen such rapid advances in the last few years, that we do now
have to wake up and consider seriously the implications and how the technology
that we work on can be misused,” he said. Australian universities have also
collaborated with Chinese defence universities.
Researchers at the Australian National University (ANU) have worked
on dozens of such studies, including a 2019 study on covert communications with
the China’s National University of Defense Technology, which was blacklisted by
the US four years ago. The study authors said it could have military
applications, including “for a stealth fighter … to be able to hide itself from
enemies while communicating with its military bases.”
Is it because Chinese students seem to account for more than 50% of
all international students? In 2017, they relied on Chinese student course fees
for anywhere from 13% (Adelaide and ANU) to 22-23% (UNSW and Sydney) of their
total revenues. Even these figures likely understate their true China exposure,
since they generate substantial non-course revenue from Chinese students as
well.
Senior Australian security officials have reported that the joint
activities between UNSW and Chinese Defence companies are evidence that Beijing
is running a global espionage operation through technology companies.Australian
Strategic Policy Institute (ASPI) analyst Dr Samantha Hoffman has spent months
uncovering GTCOM’s global and Australian connections. She said the company’s
intent was to support the Chinese Communist Party’s security interests.“Whether
it contributes to a state security product or propaganda or military
intelligence, all of the data they’re collecting can then be turned into
information that supports those objectives,” said Dr Hoffman. “So immediately
that raises red flags.”
Professor John Fitzgerald, who served as a chair on DFAT’s (Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade) Australia-China Council, said Chinese companies were capitalising on Australia’s science and technology expertise.
“Australia’s science and technology priorities are being set by the Chinese Government because we enter into collaborations that have really been designed to support China’s goals, not ours,” he said.“Many universities are very happy to proceed with whatever it is … because of the money and prestige involved.” “There’s a possibility that some of this research will go towards uses which could place Australia at risk.”
IT MUST BE THE MONEY as We Pay Them To BETRAY Us.
In January, Chinese media reported on Haiyun Data’s announcement of a new joint artificial intelligence laboratory with the University of Technology, Sydney (UTS).
UTS associate dean and director of its Centre for Artificial Intelligence, Professor Jie Lu, was pictured holding a signed agreement with Haiyun.
Professor Lu was last month awarded a $3.2 million fellowship from the Australian Research Council for a project to enable artificial intelligence to learn autonomously from data.
The university has confirmed it has a research project with Haiyun Data to develop technology for handwriting recognition.
Former head of the Australian Cyber Security Centre at the Australian Signals Directorate Alastair MacGibbon said universities needed to understand the implications of their international research deals.

Mao Zedong Competed with Stalin For the World Biggest Killer.
Who was the individual in charge of the largest mass murderer in the
history of the world? Most people probably assume that the answer is Adolf
Hitler, architect of the Holocaust. But more than likely Hitler, Lenin and Stalin
were outdone by Mao Zedong as one would have to split up the USSR mass murder
between Lenin and Stalin. From 1958 to 1962, his Great Leap Forward policy led
to the deaths of up to 45 million people, just within four years. Easily making
it the biggest one off episode of mass murder ever recorded.
Historian Frank Dikötter, author of the important book “Mao’s Great
Famine” stated,
“Mao thought that he could catapult his country past its competitors
by herding villagers across the country into giant people’s communes. In
pursuit of a utopian paradise, everything was collectivised. People had their
work, homes, land, belongings and livelihoods taken from them. In collective
canteens, food, distributed by the spoonful according to merit, became a weapon
used to force people to follow the party’s every dictate. As incentives to work
were removed, coercion and violence were used instead to compel famished
farmers to perform labour on poorly planned irrigation projects while fields
were neglected.”
It is not merely the extent of the catastrophe that dwarfs earlier
estimates, but these record the manner in which many people died: between two
and three million victims were tortured to death or summarily killed, often for
the slightest infraction. “When a boy stole a handful of grain in a Hunan
village, local boss Xiong Dechang forced his father to bury him alive. The
father died of grief a few days later. The case of Wang Ziyou was reported to
the central leadership: one of his ears was chopped off, his legs were tied
with iron wire, a ten kilogram stone was dropped on his back and then he was
branded with a sizzling tool – punishment for digging up a potato.”
Elderly villagers in one region of a quarter of a million Chinese
were banned from the official canteen because they were too old or ill to be
effective workers, so were deliberately starved to death.
Followed by Millions of Deaths in the Cultural Revolution.
The basic facts of the Great Leap Forward have long been known to scholars. Dikötter’s work is noteworthy for demonstrating that the number of victims may have been even greater than previously thought, and that the mass murder was more clearly intentional on Mao’s part, and included large numbers of victims who were executed or tortured, as opposed to “merely” starved to death. The Great Leap Forward was followed by the Cultural Revolution which was also organised by Chairman Mao again millions died

While the horrors of the Great Leap Forward and the Cultural
Revolution are well known to experts on communism and Chinese history, they are
rarely remembered by ordinary people even within China. When Westerners think
of the great evils of world history, they rarely think of this one. An even
bigger factor in our relative neglect of the Great Leap Forward is that it is
part of the general tendency to downplay crimes committed by communist regimes,
as opposed to right-wing authoritarians. Our bought and paid for mainstream
media are very reluctant to fully accept that a great evil is within Communist/Socialist
movement. The horrendous history of China, the USSR, and their imitators,
should have permanently discredited Communist socialism as completely as
Fascism socialism as both were socialism all have the same disregard for human
life and freedom.
But it has not.
In contrast to the numerous books, movies, museums, and remembrance
days dedicated to the Holocaust, we make little effort to recall the Great Leap
Forward, or the Cultural Revolution, or Lenin’ and Stalin purges. When we vow
“never again,” we don’t often recall that it should apply to this type of
political atrocity, as well as those motivated by anti-Semitism.
I have no wish to diminish the significance of anyone’s loss due to
Hitler the impact is on the individual and their families, if these dictators
kill more or less millions that the others is not the point of this
information, this is to remind us all of what Chinese Communist atrocities are
capable of and we have to consider that if they will do this to their own
people how generous, or compassionate would they be when Australians are at
their disposal?
War not just likely but inevitable.
In 12 of 16 past instances in history in which a rising power has
confronted a ruling power, the result has been War and bloodshed. Yet 100 years
after World War I we hear it said that “War is inconceivable”, this again
offers a sobering reminder of man’s capacity for folly.
In 1914, few could imagine slaughter on a scale that demanded a new
category: world war. When war ended four years later, Europe lay in ruins: the
Kaiser gone, the Austro-Hungarian Empire dissolved, the Russian Tsar overthrown
by the Bolsheviks, France bled for a generation, and England shorn of its youth
and treasure. A millennium in which Europe had been the political centre of the
world had come to a crashing halt.
Thucydides’s Trap
In the ancient text “History of the Peloponnesian War”, Thucydides
wrote, “What made war inevitable was the growth of Athenian power and the
fear which this caused in Sparta.”
The defining question about global order for this generation is
whether China and the United States can escape Thucydides’s Trap.”when one
great power threatens to displace another, war is almost always the result”. The
Greek historian’s metaphor reminds us of the attendant dangers when a rising
power rivals a ruling power, as Athens challenged Sparta in ancient Greece, or
as Germany did Britain a 100 years ago. Most such contests have ended badly,
often for both nations.
When King Edward VII died in 1910 Attendees at his funeral included
two “chief mourners”, Edward’s successor, George V, and his cousin Germany’s
Kaiser Wilhelm, along with Theodore Roosevelt representing the United States.
At one point, Roosevelt (an avid student of naval power and leading champion of
the buildup of the U.S. Navy) asked Wilhelm whether he would consider a
moratorium in the German-British naval arms race. The Kaiser replied that
Germany was unalterably committed to having a powerful navy. But as he went on
to explain, war between Germany and Britain was “simply unthinkable,
because “I was brought up in England, very largely; I feel myself partly an
Englishman. Next to Germany I care more for England than for any other
country.” And then with emphasis: “I ADORE ENGLAND!”
The World has Woken Up to A New Balance.
However unimaginable conflict seems, however catastrophic the potential consequences for all actors, however deep the cultural empathy among leaders, even blood relatives, and however economically interdependent states may be, none of those factors is sufficient to prevent war, in 1914 or today in 2020.

The preeminent geo-strategic challenge of this era is not violent
Islamic extremists or a resurgent Russia. It is the impact that China’s
ascendance will have on the U.S.A. led international order, which has provided
unprecedented great-power peace and prosperity for the past 70 years. As
Singapore’s late leader, Lee Kuan Yew, observed, “the size of China’s
displacement of the world balance is such that the world must find a new
balance. It is not possible to pretend that this is just another big player.
This is the biggest player in the history of the world.” Everyone knows
about the rise of China. Few of us realize its magnitude. Never before in
history has a nation risen so far, so fast, on so many dimensions of power. To
paraphrase former Czech President Vaclav Havel, “all this has happened so
rapidly that we have not yet had time to be astonished.”
DF 41 Dong Feng East Wind would blow no one any good .
We have seen the USA pull out of Syria and leaving its Allies the
Kurds at the mercy of the Turkish Army. The Kurds have lost 10,000 soldiers
fighting IS (supported by Turkey) and the USA have not taken that into account.
We saw the US government pull out of South Vietnam which allowd the North to
take the South and settle the scores with 3 million South Vietnam ese. How can
Australia expect the USA to place its mainland cities in jeopardy to protect
Australia.
Useful Fools.
Idiots in the Peace and Green movement funded by George Soros and the Chinese government have this notion, that if we do not have a Nuclear deterrent, Nuclear missiles, Nuclear Bombs, Nuclear Submarines, Aircraft that can deliver Nuclear warheads, Artillery that can deliver Nuclear warheads, that no other Nuclear endowed government would ever attack us with Nuclear weapons. Worse than that, even more “head in the sand”, most of the brain dead zombies that parade about with flowers in their dirty ‘Dreadlocks’ believe that if we have no Anti Missile Defence, no missiles to stop Nuclear armed Missiles attacking Australia then that’s another reason why an enemy like North Korea or China or any of the other Nuclear armed governments would not attack Australia. Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov, otherwise known as ‘Lenin’, called the British Peace Movement, “Useful Fools” well ours are well paid fools and are useful to the enemies of our Country. The largest majority do not even know or think that Australia will ever be attacked by anyone. Where else in history has this innocence been rewarded.

No Force Can Stop Us.
On the first of October 2019 in Beijing where Chang’an Avenue, meets Tiananmen Square
On the first of October 2019 in Beijing where Chang’an Avenue, meets Tiananmen Square
Chinese President Xi Jinping looked on as roughly 15,000 troops, 160
aircraft, and 580 pieces of military equipment were paraded for the 70th
anniversary of the country’s founding
Mr Xi, who wore the distinctive “Mao suit”, delivered a speech
invoking the “Chinese dream” of national rejuvenation, his grand vision of
restoring the country to his perceived past glory.
“No force can stop the Chinese people and the Chinese nation forging
ahead.”
“There is no force that can shake the foundation of this great nation,”
Xi said
“Unity is iron and steel; unity is a source of strength,” Xi
said, according to an English-language transcript from the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs
The military parade showcased what’s claimed to be the world’s
longest range intercontinental ballistic missile, the DF-41 DF stands for
Dongfeng which means in English ‘East Wind’ which should be significant to the
United States as that the direction that they would come from. The missile has
a reputed range of up to 15,000 kilometres putting both Australia and the
United States within striking distance. Analysts say it each missile will be
able to carry as many as 10 warheads capable of hitting separate targets. So
one missile to Australia and ten major cities get a nuclear warhead worth a few
kiloton of devastation.
The DF-26 ballistic missile which are fired from land bases, is made
to have the accuracy to strike at the key element of US power projection, the
US Navy’s aircraft carriers in the Pacific.
HSU-001 underwater drones were on show for the first time the HSU-001
appears to be similar in size to Boeing’s Echo Seeker design and could be
equipped with explosive deapth charges.
The vehicle-mounted DF-17 (Dongfeng) missile was displayed and will
be capable of delivering both nuclear and conventional payloads,”the DF-17
missile successfully completed its ballistic flights and reentered the Earth’s
atmosphere, using the hypersonic glide vehicle system. It leaves the earths
atmosphere strapped to a DF-16 ballistic missile and then breaks away and
glides down to its target at 5 times the speed of sound. Currently there is no
defence for this missile. China’s military showed off these new hypersonic
ballistic nuclear missile believed capable of breaching all existing anti-missile
shields deployed by the US and its allies. These longer-range aircraft and
missiles seem designed with the U.S. military in mind, analysts say
The parade also included two new supersonic drone, suspected to be
the DR-8, which military commentators say could fly at maximum speeds of around
4,100 kilometres per hour. The
DR-8 unmanned aerial vehicle and the Sharp Sword stealth attack drone
which can reach as far into the western Pacific as the American territory of
Guam. More concerning for the USA is the Sharp Sword, is an attack drone that
is not just a UAV but a UCAV: an unmanned combat air vehicle. The aircraft can
carry missiles or laser-guided bombs. It is expected to enter service before
the end of the year.
The PLA Rocket Force has placed particular emphasis on developing
dangerous long-range anti-ship missiles that can keep the U.S. Navy at a safe
distance,” the Defence Talk industry publication reported, “so the Sharp
Sword’s ability to further extend that range only places enemy ships in all the
more peril.”
Pairs or small numbers of J-20s have appeared in previous parades,
but the fact the Air Force is ready to fly seven of them is significant and
suggests they are ready for combat, according to analysts”A considerable number
of units are probably ready to fly the J-20,” Wang Ya’nan, chief editor of
Aerospace Knowledge magazine, told the Global Times.
“If seven J-20s are sent simultaneously into battle, they would have
a significant striking capability with their air-to-air and air-to-surface
weapons,” Wang told the paper. They would be able to strike enemy targets deep
in hostile territory, he said. Designed for enhanced stealth and
manoeuverability, the J-20 has the potential to provide China with a variety of
previously unavailable air combat options and enhance its capability to project
China’s air power.
The H-6N, a new version of China’s long-range strategic bomber, also
appeared during parade rehearsals.Other observers noted the bomber had an
aerial refueling receptacle. That will enable the aircraft, which was modeled
on the Soviet Tu-16 jet bomber, to carry out in-flight refueling.
China’s 70th anniversary parade interestingly included 12 JL-2
submarine-launched ballistic missiles (SLBM) carried on trucks. Though these
have reportedly been in active service on board the People’s Liberation Army,
Navy’s nuclear-powered Type 094 Jin class ballistic missile submarines, the
Chinese government had not displayed any examples publicly before.
The parade featured China’s new lightweight Type 15 tanks with the fully stabilized 105mm rifled gun and an effective firing range of two miles. The tank weighs between 33 and 36 tons, making it more mobile than a standard battle tank, which usually weight about 50 tons.
What is already clear is that China’s military modernization is
continuing at a brisk pace and the country is pushing ahead more and more
toward closing capability gaps with its largest competitors, namely the United
States and in some areas have more firepower.
It certainly appears that unless America has a technological break
through its military dominance in the world is on the back foot.
Apathy, on the Greatest Scale Imaginable.
The Ten Year Rule was a British government guideline, first adopted
in August 1919, that limited its armed forces to draft their estimates “on the
assumption that the British Empire would not be engaged in any great war during
the next ten years”.(sometimes called the Pernicious Law.) It was a secret rule
introduced into Parliament that stated Britain could count on ten years notice
for any major conflict. Accordingly, she need not spend significant funds in the
near term on her military. The rule was renewed each year until it found itself
in such a weakened state in the mid 1930s against Germany’s re armament.
Australia must be running on a Thirty year rule and not expecting to need a
defence until at lease 2050 when its 12 useless French submarines will finally
be ready. The Chinese parade has shown us the way, we need a large factory
producing those HSU-001 underwater drones submarines and
the DR-8 unmanned aerial vehicle and the Sharp Sword stealth attack
drones. We need hundreds of them all large ships and slow moving planes are all
just targets we cannot afford to lose. The Chinses have looked to oppose the
large US aircraft carrier and our opponents will be large Chinese aircraft
carriers without those large ships China cannot impose its will o Australia. We
have to have a counter threat to their ships and missiles.

who are evil, but because of the people who don’t do anything about it.” Albert
