Us looks at setting up military base in Western Australia

[jcocks]

Hi.

I came across an interesting article in my state paper. Apparently, the US wasnts to set up a military base in Rockingham here in Western Australia. Also, our government wants to relocate thousands of military personnel here. All this is due to the growing "threat" from China...

Here is the article :

Of course, me being the person I am, I always read btween the lines.... So I'm wondering what the real reason is behind all this wanting to move military power over here....

What's you guys' take on this?

I am sure you can read between the lines with this one as well, but it is all but blatant , I freaked out the first time i saw this commercial.

Hi jocks,
Regarding the australian part of the article, the miltary needs to have some boogie man ace up their sleeve to scare the politicians into providing the budget they need for day to day operations and additional funding for new equipment and upgrades. The boogie man was once Indonesia now its China, maybe in another ten years it will be India.

Bugger...means we'll need more concrete when it comes time to seal all the rats underground...

Fear not. The separation has begun.

China already owns the US [and by extension I guess most of the western world!??!!?], so why would they need to invade anywhere militarily?

Wouldn't it just be easier to collapse economies / currencies if they wanted to take over the world?

[Positive Vibe Merchant]

Well it would be just another base in Australia.

The US already have them spattered all over the country.

[jcocks]

Yeah, but I think this is looking like it'll be a fairly large amount of american military / navy firepower stationed here..... Not "just another base"...
Couple this with the assetts that Australia will be relocating to WA, and you get a better picture of the sort of firepower that will be ready and waiting for those "nasty" chinese...

Still wondering exactly what is the real reason for this...

[TWINCANS]

Didn't someone say that Australia is planned to become homebase for the NWO's once they've completely destroyed the earth and everyone in it.
For them home is where the armaments are.

[jcocks]

I've heard that too.... not sure of the truth of it tho...but that may explain the relative lack of chemtrails etc here - no real need for it, the population is much more docile here. So, they'll probly leave us more alone as we're not considered a threat..?

[ghostrider]

how can you defend our shores, setting up a base in another freakin country? we're easy pickins cause our armies are elsewhere. we're so spread out anyone could invade our shores and we couldn't get home fast enough. I get it the way to protect my house is to go and guard the north pole. he he he !!

[jackovesk]

I will tell you 1 thing jcocks,

There is NO WAY IN HELL the US Military would be protecting Australia if we had any resemblence of an Honest Govt!

If we did there would be NO Pine Gap or any other US Military bases in this Country!

I personally would prefer the Govt. to give all our Guns back and say 'Fend for Yourself'. If our Govt. did that, then we might have a Fighting chance!

[jcocks]

I agree..... But if you can give me just one example of an honest government in power now, then...well...you know :)

I'm almost thinking it's an oxymoron nowadays....

[siggy]

- snip - the population is much more docile here. So, they'll probly leave us more alone as we're not considered a threat..?

Funny, I'd never thought of the Aussies as docile - hard drinking, hard fighting, stubborn, determined; you're from working class British stock after all :)

[DoubleHelix]

It's true a lot of ozzies are docile and content, we've been lulled into a false sense of security where most feel we're privileged and have it a lot better than other nations.. Not taking into account that we've got one of the highest costs of living out there.

[treeman]

Australia is the third leg of the barstool for the United States of the Americas.
Hard to distinguish the two...economic, architecture and lifestyle.
Bring back 'Gough' all is forgiven.

[Positive Vibe Merchant]

your right on that one DH.

We don't realise how high the cost of living really is here.
