THE JINGOISM OF AUKUS THE ENGLISH SPEAKING TRIAD

TOP 3 MYTHS ABOUT STRESS

He was highly critical of the Albanese-Wong-Marles positioning on the alliance and their carrying over into the new government of the cold war warriors heading the Liberal Party jingoistic campaign around the trashing of the agreement with France and the English speaking alliance of AUKUS.

development of Japanese hostility towards the European powers and Australia, culminating in 1941 with Pearl Harbour and the bombing of Darwin.

Trap and taken Australia as its junior partner with it.

Australian deaths until Labor took us out of the war in 1972.

On 15th March former Prime Minister Paul Keating delivered a refreshing truth telling at the National Press Club, chaired by Laura Tingle, one of the untainted journalists of the ABC.

It was a remarkable presentation, which can be seen on ABC Iview, exposing the nature of the US, UK and Australian nuclear submarine deal.

Basically he argues we are being lured into an alliance which while propping up the failing British economy, cedes sovereignty over our defence to the USA in its great power rivalry with China.

The few nuclear powered submarines which we will one day acquire are too large to operate in the shallow waters on our continental shelf but seem rather designed to offer forward defence for the USA in its surveillance of the periphery of China.

If the defence of Australia is what is intended, Keating claimed that the 45 Collins class submarines we could get for the cost of a few nuclear powered submarines, costing $380 billion, would be more practical.

The National Press Club address is a must watch for those interested in the welfare of this country for its exposure of the nature of the mainstream media, as reflected in the posturing of the main corporation journalists.

The sustained campaign of the SMH and the Melbourne Age on the Chinese threat came under particular examination by Keating, who described their three articles as the worst journalism he has seen.

Disappointing Labor position

For those Labor Party stalwarts with long memories, Keating compared Albanese with PM Billy Hughes, the Labor Rat who betrayed the party over conscription for the First World War, setting up a rival conservative party in a vain attempt to get his policy accepted.

Billy Hughes at the Versailles Peace Treaty talks also strongarmed the British delegation into opposing the Japanese proposal that a clause be inserted into the treaty proclaiming recognition of racial equality.

The White Australia Policy was part of our system from 1901 until the Whitlam Labor Government threw it out in 1972.

This racism saw the

Keating said he did not defend China on its treatment of the Uyghurs but raised the silence of the local media on the attitude of the Modi Government, which it lauds, and its treatment of Kashmiri Muslims.

India is in the QUAD, initiated by Japanese PM Abe in 2007, linking Australia and the USA, which is also aimed at containing China. For those people concerned with human rights, the BJP abuses and pogroms against Muslims are mounting and serious but little remarked upon by our mainstream media.

Keating argued that there is no reason to believe that China threatens aggression against Australia and deflected certain journalist’s assertions that trade sanctions against some Australian products was evidence of such intent.

One question as to why the Chinese military build up should not be seen as a provocation, he explained by comparing Chinese military expenditure to that of the USA, which is much greater.

The AUKUS Agreement, according to his analysis, has tied us into the US defence strategy, diminishing our independence. We have in effect, seen our national foreign policy handed over to the security and defence boffins, a USA concerned about its hegemony and the failing UK.

The Thucydides Trap

It looks as though the USA has fallen into the Thucydides

The term was used by an American political scientist Graham Allison, to describe the tendency to war of an existing dominant power against a rising power which threatens its hegemony.

It comes from the description by the ancient Greek historian Thucydides of the Peloponnesian War when Sparta, afraid of the rising power of Athenian power, attacked it.

Allison did a study of 16 historical instances of an emerging power rivalling a ruling power and 12 ended in war. That does not make it inevitable.

The USA is feeling threatened by China, not because China is interested in eastward expansion, but because its economy is already outstripping that of the USA.

China is interested in trading and ties towards its west, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan and across to Istanbul.

It is however very resentful of US patrolling its eastern periphery. Understandable when reflecting on its long history of suffering from European and Japanese imperialism.

As Keating remarked, how would the USA react to Chinese patrols 6 miles off California?

A History of False Premises

The USA took us into the Vietnam War on false premises.

The result was the DLP/ Liberal Party hysterical lying campaign of “the Reds are coming,” the introduction of conscription and hundreds of

Vietnam under its communist government is now a friend.

The US took us into Afghanistan against the Taliban which was said to be sheltering Al Qaeda, installed a stunningly corrupt series of governments and abandoned it once more to the Taliban with their tribal village variety of Islam.

The USA took us on false premises into the 2003 invasion of Iraq, resulting in the emergence of the terrorist Daesh, it seems largely based on the remnants of the Baath Party.

Our foreign and defence policy now appears to be in the control of remnants from the Morrison period of dominance, as outlined in Keating’s speech.

It is not looking too healthy for our nation.

Now sit back and watch the mainstream corporate media try to either demonise Keatng or just ignore him.

This will enable the electorate to see for itself the nature of our media and the importance of independent media and social media.

As the Robodebt Commissioner remarked, it was twitter which most effectively carried information about the Royal Commission, not the corporate media.
