Australia Is Not A Nation, It Is A United States Military Base With Kangaroos by Ms Caitlin Johnstone!

Listen to a reading of this article (reading by Tim Foley):

One of the many, many signs that Australia is nothing more than a United States military and intelligence asset is the way its government has consistently refused to intervene to protect Australian citizen Julian Assange from political persecution at the hands of the United States empire.

In a new article titled "Penny Wong moves to dampen expectation of breakthrough in Julian Assange case," The Guardian quotes Australias foreign minister as saying, "We are doing what we can, between government and government, but there are limits to what that diplomacy can achieve." Ms Wong said this when asked if Prime Minister Anthony Albanese discussed the worlds most famous press freedom case with the United States president and British prime minister when he met with them together two weeks ago.

Ms Wong refused to say whether her governments leader had raised the issue with his supposed United States and United Kingdom counterparts, repeating instead the same line she has been bleating since Labor took over: that the Julian Assange case "has dragged on long enough and should be brought to a close." Which if you listen carefully is not actually a statement in favor of releasing the WikiLeaks founder or blocking extradition - it is just saying the case should be concluded hastily, one way or another.

These statements came in response to questions from Greens Senator David Shoebridge, who took a jab at the Labor governments "quiet diplomacy" approach to the Julian Assange case.

"The idea that quiet diplomacy must be so silent that the government can not tell the public or the parliament if the PM even spoke to the president is bizarre," Shoebridge said.

The answers given to me by Senator Wong and the answers provided to Mr. Rex Patrick make it clear:

"quiet diplomacy" to bring Julian Assange home by the Albanese Govt is a policy of nothing. Not one meeting, phone call or letter sent.-David Shoebridge (DavidShoebridge) March 31, 2023

Ms Wong told Mr. Shoebridge that Australia is powerless to intervene to protect the acclaimed Australian journalist, saying, "We are not able as an Australian government to intervene in another countrys legal or court processes."

While it is true that Australia can not force the United States to end the political imprisonment and persecution of Mr. Julian Assange for exposing United States war crimes, it obviously can conduct diplomacy with its supposed ally in order to protect an Australian citizen.

Even nations with whom Australia has no form of alliance are vocally confronted by Canberra when they imprison Australian citizens, like the statement Ms Wong released yesterday regarding Chinas detention of Chinese-Australian journalist Cheng Lei in which the foreign minister explicitly and unequivocally calls for "Ms Cheng to be reunited with her family."

Just yesterday alone Ms Wong tweeted to demand justice for Ms Cheng and for American journalist Evan Gershkovich, who has been arrested in Russia on espionage charges.

"It is one year since Australian citizen Cheng Lei faced a closed trial in Beijing on national security charges," tweeted Ms Wong. "She is yet to learn the outcome. Our thoughts are with Ms Cheng and her loved ones. Australia will continue to advocate for her to be reunited with her children."

"Australia is deeply concerned by Russias detention of Wall Street Journal Moscow correspondent Evan Gershkovich. We call on Russia to ensure access to consular and legal assistance," Ms Wong tweeted a few hours later.

Now guess how many times Penny Wong has tweeted the word "Assange"?

Answer: zero.

Australian Foreign Minister Senator Wong has never once tweeted the word "Assange" and says Australia is powerless to intervene against the United States, yet in the last 24 hours she has tweeted demanding justice for an Australian journalist in China and an American journalist in Russia.-Caitlin Johnstone (caitoz) March 31, 2023

What is the basis for this discrepancy? Why has Australias foreign minister been publicly demanding that China release Cheng Lei and return her to her children, without making the same demands of the United States for Julian Assange?

Mr. Assange has children too, and he has been imprisoned for four times longer than Ms Cheng - more than ten times longer if you count the period of his arbitrary detention in the Ecuadorian embassy in London before his arrest.

Why are we seeing more action from the Australian government to defend an Australian journalist in China than to defend an Australian journalist fighting extradition to a nation we are supposedly allied with which upholds itself as the leader of the rules-based international order?

The answer is that Australia is not a real country. It is an American colony. It is a giant United States military base with kangaroos!

That is why the Albanese governments "quiet diplomacy" to free Mr. Julian Assange is so quiet that it ca no’t actually be said to exist!

Regular readers may recall that the last time we discussed an interaction between Senators Wong and Shoebridge was when the former condescendingly dismissed the latters efforts to find out if the Australian government is allowing the United States military to bring nuclear weapons into the country. Ms Wong angrily told Mr. Shoebridge that the United States has a standing "neither confirm nor deny" position with regard to where it keeps its nuclear weapons, and that the Australian government understands and respects that position.

Australians Are Not Allowed To Know If There Are American Nukes In Australia

"It is assumed to be none of Australias business whether there are foreign nuclear weapons in Australia."-Caitlin Johnstone (caitoz) February 16, 2023

We are so far under Washington,D.C.s thumb that we are not even allowed to know if there are United States of American nukes in our country, and our own government can not even advocate in defense of its own citizen when he is being persecuted for the crime of good journalism.

Add that to the fact that Australia has been pressed into an AUKUS pact which makes us much less safe and a hostile relationship with China which hurts our own economic and security interests, the stationing of a United States nuclear intelligence site which makes us a nuclear target, and the United States staging literal coups of our government whenever its elected leaders threaten United States strategic interests, and it becomes clear that our so-called "country" is functionally just a United States aircraft carrier that happens to be the size of a continent!

Which would be bad enough if these bastards were not pushing us to play a front-and-center role in World War Three.

We have got to start fighting against our enslavement to the United States empire and against the Pentagon puppets in our own government like our lives depend on it, because they very clearly do!!
