The Unholy Alliance: Australia and America!
Apparently our Prime Minister is going to get the full treatment from the current Administration and why? America, the world’s biggest warmonger, needs to flaunt its few Allies to the world and Australia, which is not an imperial power in any sense of the word, is a foil, a softening influence to the harsh, violent, greedy, hateful image of the the world’s most imperial nation.
And Australia, who before was used to being the junior partner of Britain, is now the junior partner of the U.S. and that, friends, makes me sick to my stomach.
Why is my country supporting a nation that is into torture, that is into rendition, that is into invasions and occupations to gain scarce resources, that keeps people in cages, that fuels endless war so that its armament industries can make mega-bucks, that uses depleted uranium, cluster bombs, napalm, that spends money on war that should be being used for the benefit of American citizens, that uses the MSM as a tool of Government propaganda, that refuses to recognize the ICC, that kills civilians by the millions, that supports dictators and royal despots, that spies on its citizens, etc, etc.?
Julia Gillard in Washington. Come in, sucker!
It seems that the Australia-America Alliance is going to be highlighted during the week that Julia is there, even Australia’s shameful involvement in Vietnam. Yes, much will be made of Australia’s servile, supporting role in the exploits of the American War Machine and the U.S. will heap praise on Australia. Australia, via Julia, will go into raptures about how we love America, how we are such close friends, how we need each other, how our two cultures are almost identical.
This is absolute crap!
