The Thales Group has placed the illuminati eye in the triangle symbol in its name. Australia is right in the thick of the Thales Group, along with the five-eyes – Canada, NZ, USA and Britain. There is some proof.
From a page showing the history and chronology of Thales, two of its Principal Subsidiaries are ADI (Australia) and Thales Information Systems (Russia). Principal Divisions of Thales are Aerospace, Defence, Information Technologies and Services. Thales changed its name in 2000.

The Australian Competition & Consumer Commission (ACCC) records show that in 12 March 2002 Thales acquired the remaining shares in ADI Group Holdings. ADI Holdings is the holding company for a number of ADI subsidiaries. The main operating company in the group is Australian Defence Industries Limited. In 1999 the ACCC considered and did not oppose the acquisition of ADI by a joint venture comprising Thales (a French owned company then known as Thomson CSF) and Transfield. Thales now wants to increase its stake in ADI Holdings to 100% by acquiring the 50% of shares in ADI Holdings that are currently owned by the Transfield Group of companies.

David Cronin has written books Balfour’s Shadow: A Century of British Support for Zionism and Israel and Europe’s Alliance with Israel: Aiding the Occupation. In his report on “Are weapons at the heart of Britain’s romance with Israel”, he mentions James Arbuthnot and his work at Thales UK, his involvement with Conservative Friends of Israel, and his position in the British Parliament. Mr Cronin says that James Arbuthnot has used his platform to advocate that Britain should develop four nuclear submarines and by opposing disarmament Mr Arbuthnot was pushing a political agenda conducive to his employer and the wider arms industry.

The report, ‘Arming Apartheid’, details how trading arms with Israel makes the UK complicit in Israel’s continuing violations of human rights and international law.

The WOW Arming Apartheid WEBFINAL pdf says the UK government imports weapons and weapons technology from Israel, and awards contracts to Israeli companies to develop weapons for UK military use. The UK’s Watchkeeper surveillance drone, used by the UK military in Afghanistan, was developed under a joint venture contract awarded by the Ministry of Defence to Thales UK and Israel’s Elbit Systems. Israeli military and industry sources openly attribute the success of Israeli exports to the weapons being ‘combat proven’ in operations against Palestinians.
