US military take over large portions of Northern Territory
Letter to the Editor
Corruption in government is now endemic to Australia. If a whistleblower reports it, that person quickly disappears or is prosecuted on one pretext or another. Citizens need to update their understanding of government authority in 2022. The first element to grasp is that there is now not one shred of democracy surviving in this country. And, according to former High Court Judge, Sir Harry Talbot Gibbs, it is now some decades since Australia had a lawful government.
Personally, I would assert that the US has run Australia since the sacking of the Whitlam Government in 1975 and that America will destroy what is left of Australia economically, and also drag us into WWIII, an assertion echoed no less than seven times by former Prime Minister Malcolm Fraser, as his dying legacy to Australians.
In the NT, large portions are now inaccessible to Australians, due to occupation by the US military and the American war machine, specifically, Raytheon Technologies and Lockheed Martin and their missile pads. Meanwhile, China dominates Darwin Harbour on one side and America on the other side of the peninsula, including the entire centre portion of Darwin from Larakeyah, through the international airport and all the way through to Howard Springs. And then across Shoal Bay to Middle Point.
If that is not hostile military occupation I do not know what is. The Pentagon is assisted by our own “armed” forces. A Darwin warehouse contains Abram tanks (left) which can only have one purpose: to put down any possible local resistance.
My grandfather and uncle, who died fighting for Australian freedom, gave their lives for nothing.

Senator Lambie and Bob Katter tell Scomo to tear up China’s Darwin Port lease
Lambie and Katter force LNP to hold Royal Commission into war veteran suicide
Bob Katter says Joe Biden the greatest danger to world peace he has seen in his lifetime
These two representatives, possessing tremendous intestinal fortitude are just that. They listen to the people. The LNP/ALP free-trading and de-regulating duopoly represent only foreign interests and the big end of town. Katter and Lambie represent the people.
It is so important for voters to support these two aussies who have the good of the people and country at heart. The political definition of stupidity is to keep voting for the same people but expect a different result. If voters cannot see that the corporate duopoly looks after only corporate vested interests then these people should not be voting.
Strategic worldwide ports, a ‘string of pearls’owned by China, include Darwin
China’s Landbridge corporation private army
The Communist Chinese government, through state-controlled corporations masquerading as private entities, is accelerating its plan to acquire control over deep water ports and major shipping lanes across the world.
The Sri Lankan government, heavily indebted to China, recently agreed to lease approximately 80% of a strategic port in the southern part of the country to a state-owned Chinese company for $1.1 billion.
The port of Hambantota lies along an important trade route connecting Asia and the Middle East, and is a key part of Chinese President Xi Jinping’s “one belt, one road” plan to expand Chinese control over key shipping lanes.
The United States refers to these strategic ports as China’s “string of pearls.”
China Merchant Port Holding Company, which purchased the lease to operate the port of Hambantota, is owned by the Communist Chinese government; specifically, it is owned via majority share by the China Merchants Group, a state-run corporation based in Hong Kong.
The same state-owned corporation maintains an 85% share over a large new terminal at the port of Sri Lanka’s capital, Colombo, as well as varying levels of control over ports in the African nations of Djibouti and Togo.
After acquiring 49% of Terminal Link, a portfolio of terminals run by struggling French container line CMA CGN, China Merchants Group gained access to the following ports: Antwerp and Zeebrugge in Belgium; Dunkirk, Le Havre, Montoir, and Fos in France; Casablanca and Tangiers in Morocco; Marsaxlokk in Malta; Abidjan in the Ivory Coast; Houston and Miami in the United States; Bussan in South Korea.
Another major state-owned corporation, COSCO Pacific, has minority control over the following ports: Antwerp, Suez in Egypt, and Singapore.
COSCO acquired a majority share (51%) of operations at the Greek port of Piraeus in April, 2016 (another 16% will be acquired after an agreed upon period of modernization lasting five years).
The Greek government was forced to sell control over the port, as well as control over 14 regional airports to a German-based company, in a desperate bid to satisfy EU creditors eager for repayment.
COSCO was at the center of controversy when the company sought to lease a former naval base at the Port of Long Beach, California after one of their ships was suspected of illegally trafficking firearms and was raided by customs officials in 1997.
President Bill Clinton was tied to the Chinese company that produced the firearms, Polytechnology, after a supporter escorted the company’s president, Wang Jun, into one of the President’s “White House coffees”, where he reportedly met with Clinton.
Clinton later said the meeting was ”inappropriate” and “an example of the failure of the White House to screen visitors rigorously.”
The cash-strapped (and corruption-plagued) government of the Australian Northern Territory leased control over port facilities in the capital city of Darwin to the Landbridge Company, a company closely connected to the Chinese government, for $361 million late last year.
The 99-year lease raised concern among some in the United States as Marines use the base to train approximately six months out of the year. In addition, fuel storage tanks used by the Marines are situated directly on the land leased to the Chinese company.
Critics argued that China’s port control “could facilitate intelligence collection on U.S. and Australian military forces stationed nearby,” according to the New York Times.
Ye Cheng, chairman and founder of the Landbridge Company, was honored as one of the top “10 individuals caring about the development of national defense” by the Shandong provincial government in 2013.
The Landbridge Company’s website notes their strong ties to “state-owned companies like China National Petroleum Corporation, which supplies oil to Landbridge and allows them to sell it at retail pumps under the corporation’s name.
Panama Ports Company, a subsidiary of Hutchison Ports, maintains exclusive rights to operate ports at both ends of the Panama Canal (Balboa on the Pacific Ocean, Cristóbal on the Atlantic Ocean).
Hutchison Ports is a subsidiary of CK Hutchison Holdings, chaired by Hong Kong-based billionaire Li Ka-shing. He has close ties to the Chinese government, as does the company’s co-managing director and deputy chairman, Victor Li Tzar-kuoi, who served on the Standing Committee of the 12th National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference.
As of 2006, over 60% of the container terminals at the ten largest ports in the United States were operated by a foreign corporation, with the number rising to 80% at the largest ports in Los Angeles and New York/Newark.

China’s Landbridge army to takeover Darwin Port
Landbridge Group has formally established armed forces

The USA is stunned that the control of Port Darwin, a major link in their security of northern Australia that has been in place for decades, being ‘leased’ to China by the Northern Territory government for 99 years. This allows a Chinese private company LandBridge, with ties to their government and military, complete with a fully trained private armed militia to protect that port. There was no consultation with the US government.
Two peas in a Pod- how comfortable
Malcolm Turnbull just shrugged off a “please explain” from President Barack Obama at their official meeting during the Apec summit in Manila.
Australia’s latest Prime Minister fresh off the PM conveyor belt has snubbed his nose at our major ally concerning the military assets the USA has deployed as part of the Obama foreign policy “pivot” to the Asia-Pacific region, which is a strategic posture concerned with countering China’s growing power in the region. This is of major concern for all Australians who should be very worried .
The USA armed forces might is sourced from some 320 million people hosting 120 million military ready personnel. Australia with 23 million people hosting just 56,000 military ready personnel. There are more cab drivers in Australia than soldiers.

Josh Frydenberg’s re-established Brisbane Line
A letter from a reader about the appalling behaviour of Minister for Northern Development Josh Frydenberg in Federal Parliament on October 21, 2015
Hi Josh, we just saw your comments about flogging off Darwin Port to the bloody Chinese, YET AGAIN.
Why are you and the free-trading, de-regulating Liberals so intent on selling our kids future??
Your disgraceful antics when answering Katters question are deplorable in the least, but not unexpected when Katter, the conscience of the Liberals and former Nationals, asks a question that you cannot truthfully answer.
Northern Development is just another cruel hoax and your comments have just proven it.
Yes there is not a high density of population north of the Tropic of Capricorn but that is no excuse to populate it with unwanted chinamen. I have a copy of Rudd’s Cabinet proposal to sell most of the north to China or Indonesia before they take it forcefully. It was published on www.cairnsnews.org last year I believe.

No doubt you are following the same UN dictate.
Is it any wonder people are fed up with neo-con Liberals and Labor recalcitrants in ‘Parliament’ just like you and naturally Malcolm, the Minister for his Jewish mates, Goldman Sachs?
Your machinations foment the white depopulation of Cape York and handing over much needed cattle breeder country to murris that will never again produce anything for the economy.
Did you know there are only 140,000 head of cattle remaining in the Far North?
Why did you allow Warren Entsch to ignore the handing over of the North’s only defence road, the Peninsula Development Road, to the unrepresentative and warring Cape York Land Council?
You have admitted in parliament (prima facie evidence) to the handing over of our country to a foreign power. This is not northern development, this is sedition and you and your ilk should be charged accordingly under the Criminal Code Act 1914.
