The Brack's Government is to spend $16 million on a counter-terrorism package towards fighting terrorism threats in and around Victorian ports, shipping lanes and coastal waters. (Frankston/Hastings Leader newspaper -reporter Donna Kelly). Five x 7.3 metre rapid response coastguard vessels are coming on stream to fight the claimed terrorism scourge. A single vessel will deploy out of Western Port, personnel including frogmen with night vision goggles and other equipment is included in the package.
The justification for the counter-terrorism package is an assessment by the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation [ASIO] of Victorian ports being at risk from terrorist attacks. The State government's Police and Emergency Services Minister Tim Holding agrees with ASIO's assessment and supports heightened national security to protect our waterways. Minister Holding has decided to sign-on with the latest phase of government-sponsored terrorism booga! booga! Maybe Holding identifies a package for adulation and promotion, and how cool it will be to ride around on the rapid response ocean-going coastguard vessels? The counter-terrorism package appears to align with the ministers penchant for military history, as he is busy pushing a slice of para military history.
It would be useful to review where ASIO sits in their attitude toward terrorism threats. The prevailing perspective of ASIO's Director General underpins the view that he finds terrorism a real and actual threat. It's not a big leap to conclude a threat assessment written by an ASIO officer will harbour elements of their chief's overriding attitude. Its fair to conclude rank and file job security will mirror the culture inside senior ranks of ASIO. The conclusion that a terrorism threat exists along Victoria's coast, ports and harbours is likely formulated with the organisation's cultural perspective integral in their assessment.
The Director-General of ASIO Dennis Richardson was recently named Australia's new ambassador to Washington. For Richardson to be offered the plum of ambassador infers a healthy dose of falling in step with the crazies in the White House - its critical towards acceptance. Richardson could not demonstrate opposition to Washington's preemptive warfare policy or intelligence collection methods - at any costs including torture as expediency - and expect his Washington appointment. The job of ambassador entails serious vetting behind the scenes. The post will be offered only with Davidson on board with the USA/Australian pre-emptive attack doctrine against all nations, he has to agree with the US strategic advantage policy and Anglo/American hegemony over global oil resources. To say nothing of an expectation of Davidson to progess the policy of the incumbent Howard government.
The Howard government has infamously distinguished itself by its subservient posture to insane White House demands. The occupants of the White House that Canberra supports act under a dangerous policy of foreign militarism and adventurism. A policy that has murdered tens of thousands of innocent victims in Afghanistan, Iraq and its own troops. This puppet like behaviour of Canberra drives this country's [mis]alignment with pre-emptive warfare. Australia has signed on to a ficticious war on terrorism, passed draconian anti-terrorism legislation that tramples civil rights, and abuses the Australian military as corporate mercenaries. The record of deceit to justify the Iraq invasion, the preselection of intelligence to encourage illegal participation with the Anglo American instigated warfare, that now threatens to grow other other hemispheres.
The insanity of the war on terrorism ruse at work is seen undercutting the psychology pushing militarism, this driver pushes justification for the counter-terrorism package for Western Port. Spin doctoring by the Howard government, a complicit Opposition and a compromised intelligence community steered in alignment with the warfare agenda. Propaganda misleads the electorate to fear the possibility of terrorism at home. How much of this deceit furthers political careers, how much is creeping fascism or misplaced lust for power over others - I don't know?
What is real is the classic use of problem-reaction-solution psychology of government-sponsored terrorism. Create a crisis, get the reaction of fear from the population and offer the solution. Behind the threat of terrorism government declares power unto itself. Beefing up of security at Hastings to fight terrorism is blinded by irrational craze.
Pushed by the perfect economic storm on the horizon, the booga! booga! of spin doctors is not appreciated by most of what is happening. The time to fight the official version by the psychopaths driving the train is at Code Red!
The evidence of failing corporations, bankrupt treasuries, asset bubbles about to pop - statistics point to a global economic depression soon to strike. Its under way - a depression has started potentially more harmful than the Great Depression of 1929. This brewing perfect economic storm is receiving a under the radar profile by officials and bankers from mainstream news cover.
Beefed up security at Hastings against terrorism threats is government-sponsored booga! booga!
That is how I see it!
