Thoughts for the Week.
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.”
Winston Churchill, The Gathering Storm
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.”
Winston S. Churchill, The Gathering Storm
Chinese Concentration Camp, or re-education camp
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
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.”
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.”
Winston S. Churchill, The Gathering Storm
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.
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,
Every man should own a rifle and have cartridges in store!”
By Henry Lawson.
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
