Only Idiots Believe The United States Is Protecting Australia From China by Ms Caitlin Johnstone!
Listen to a reading of this article (reading by Tim Foley):
This artificially manipulated information ecosystem has made Australians so pants-on-head idiotic that they think the United States empire is filling their country up with war machinery because it loves them and wants to protect them from the Chinese. That is as stupid as it gets.
The Economist has taken a keen interest in Australia lately, which if you know anything about The Economist is something you never want to see happen to your country. Two articles published in the last few days by the notorious propaganda outlet have celebrated the fact that Australia appears to be the most likely nation to follow the United States into a hot war with China as it enmeshes itself further and further with the United States war machine.
In "How Joe Biden is transforming Americas Asian alliances," The Economist writes the following:
"Meanwhile, the "unbreakable" defence relationship with Australia is deepening, following the AUKUS agreement struck in March, amid a flurry of equipment deals and military exercises. Should war break out with China, the Aussies seem the most willing to fight at Americas side.
Australian land, sea and air bases are expanding to receive more American forces. Under the AUKUS deal, Australia is gaining its own long-range weapons, such as nuclear-powered (but not nuclear-armed) submarines to be developed jointly with America and Britain. The three partners want to work on other military technologies, from hypersonic missiles to underwater drones.
"Taken together the "latticework" of security agreements, shows how Americas long-heralded pivot to Asia is accelerating."

In "Australia is becoming Americas military launch-pad into Asia," The Economist elaborates upon this war partnership with tumescent enthusiasm, calling it a "mateship" and likening it to a "marriage", and calling for a rollback of United States restrictions on sharing military technology with Australia.
"If America ever goes to war with China, American officials say the Aussies would be the likeliest allies to be fighting with them," The Economist gushes, adding, "Australias geographical advantage is that it lies in what strategists call a Goldilocks zone: well-placed to help America to project power into Asia, but beyond the range of most of Chinas weapons. It is also large, which helps America scatter its forces to avoid giving China easy targets."
The Economist cites White House "Asia Tsar" Kurt Campbell reportedly saying of Australia, "We have them locked in now for the next 40 years."
"Equally, though, Australia may have America locked in for the same duration," The Economist hastens to add.
Well gosh, that is a relief.
"How the world sees us," tweeted former Australian foreign minister Bob Carr when sharing the Economist article.
"Historians will be absolutely baffled by what is happening in Australia right now: normally countries never voluntarily relinquish their sovereignty and worsen their own security position out of their own accord. They normally have to lose a war and be forced to do so," commentator Arnaud Bertrand added to Mr. Carrs quip.
How the world sees us. The Economist: "Australia is becoming Americas military launch-pad into Asia." Says "Australia is arming itself with weapons that can threaten China."-Bob Carr (bobjcarr) August 24, 2023
As much as it pains me to admit it, The Economist is absolutely correct. The Australian government has been showing every indication that it is fully willing to charge into a hot war with its top trading partner to please its masters in Washington,D.C., both before and after the United States puppet regime in Canberra changed hands last year.
This sycophantic war-readiness was humorously mocked on Chinese state media back in 2021 by Impact Asia Capital co-founder Charles Liu, who said he did not think the United States will actually fight a war with China over Taiwan, but the Australians might be stupid enough to fight it for them.
"United States is not going to fight over Taiwan," Liu said. "It is not going to conduct a war over Taiwan. They may try to get Japanese to do it, but Japanese will not be so stupid to do it. The only stupid ones who might get involved are the Australians, sorry."
He had nothing to be sorry about; he was right. Australians are being very, very stupid, and not just our government. A recent Lowy Institute poll found that eight in ten Australians believe the nations alliance with the United States is important for Australias security, despite three-quarters also saying they believe the alliance makes Australia more likely to be drawn into a war in Asia.
That is just plain stupid. A war with China is the absolute worst case security scenario for Australia; anything that makes war with China more likely is making us less secure. Making bad decisions which hurt your own interests is what stupid people do.
That is not to say Australians are naturally dimwitted; we are actually pretty clever as far as populations go. What is making us stupid in this case is the fact that our nation has the most concentrated media ownership in the western world, a massive chunk of which is owned by longtime United States empire asset Rupert Murdoch. This propaganda-conducive information environment has been distorting Australias understanding of the world so pervasively in recent years that on more than one occasion I have had total strangers start babbling at me about the dangers of China completely out of nowhere within minutes of striking up conversation with them.
This artificially manipulated information ecosystem has made Australians so pants-on-head idiotic that they think the United States empire is filling their country up with war machinery because it loves them and wants to protect them from the Chinese. That is as stupid as it gets.
The single biggest lie being circulated in Australia right now is that our government is militarising against China as a defensive measure.
China has literally zero history of invading and occupying countries on the other side of the planet!!
You know who does have a very extensive history of doing that?? The United States.
The military superpower that Australias military is becoming increasingly intertwined with. The belief that we are intertwining ourselves with the worlds most aggressive, destructive and war-horny military force as a defensive measure to protect ourselves against that military forces top rival (who has not dropped a bomb in decades) is transparently false, and only a complete idiot would believe it.
We are not militarising to defend ourselves against a future attack by China, we are militarising in preparation for a future United States-led attack on the Chinese military.
We are militarising in preparation to involve ourselves in an unresolved civil war between Chinese people that has nothing to do with us. China has been sorting out its own affairs for millennia and has managed to do so just fine without the help of white people running in firing military explosives at them, and Taiwan is no exception.
Australians are not allowed to know if there are United States nukes in our country and our government is forbidden to have information about United States nuclear subs on our shores, because this is a totally normal alliance with totally mutual respect between two totally equal nations.-Caitlin Johnstone (caitoz) August 24, 2023
The imperial media talk nonstop about how the Peoples Republic of China is preparing to seize control of Taiwan using military force, without ever mentioning the fact that that is exactly what the United States empire is doing.
The United States empire is preparing to wrest Taiwan away from China to facilitate its long-term agenda to balkanize, weaken and subjugate its top rival.
Only a complete blithering imbecile would believe any part of this is being done defensively. It is being done to secure unipolar planetary domination for the worlds most powerful and destructive government, and only an absolute moron would agree to risk their own countrys security and economic interests to help facilitate it.
