What is the Opportunity/Cost of the Australian Defence Budget? What of peace?

Australia follows, is that in the public interest given the creation of circumstances which are collapsing our economy and making us dependent. Is that wise? What is sovereignty in truth? As a citizen I care nothing for propaganda, cyber warfare, them vs us, information control, satellite based surveillance and smart cities. I see where it is all going. I care about the suffering I see in the Australian people who have had their livelihoods destroyed, who are experiencing restrictions, who are contemplating ending their lives tonight. I send love to my people. I send love to the United States. I send Love to Russia, I send love to China. I ask for all to awaken the dragon.

Awaken

The well-trodden (no pun intended) story of the Chinese zodiac is cute, but a bit trite. The tale usually begins with the Jade Emperor, or Buddha, depending on the teller, who summoned all the animals of the universe for a race, or a banquet, depending on the teller. The 12 animals of the zodiac all headed to the palace. The order that they came in determined the order of the zodiac. The order is as follows:

Rat: (1984, 1996, 2008, add 12 years for each subsequent year)
Ox: (1985, 1997, 2009)
Tiger: (1986, 1998, 2010)
Rabbit: (1987, 1999, 2011)
Dragon: (1976, 1988, 2000)
Snake: (1977, 1989, 2001)
Horse: (1978, 1990, 2002)
Ram: (1979, 1991, 2003)
Monkey: (1980, 1992, 2004)
Chicken: (1981, 1993, 2005)
Dog: (1982, 1994, 2006)
Pig: (1983, 1995, 2007)

During the journey, however, the animals got involved in everything from high jinx to heroism. For example the rat, who won the race, only did so through guile and trickery: it jumped onto the back of the ox and won by a nose. The snake, apparently also a little sneaky, hid on the hoof of a horse in order to cross a river. When they got to the other side, it scared the horse and beat it in the contest. The dragon, however, proved to be honorable and altruistic. By all accounts, the dragon would have won the race as it could fly, but it had stopped to help villagers caught in a flooding river cross safely, or it stopped to assist the rabbit in crossing the river, or it stopped to help create rain for a drought-ridden farmland, depending on the teller.

My question to Australian Defence forces, given you are not a super power the aim is not to win as we are a small power, but what if it is to help with the real war that catalysed the bush fires, the floods, climate change, pollution, poverty and next will be famine (food security).

Colonel Jim Channon recommends that the military be deployed to restore planetary systems and work as a force for peace. Why not work for 100% of humanity in the shortest time (Buckminster Fuller). Jim was featured in the film “Men that Stare at Goats” which starred Jeff Bridges and George Clooney. This is his planning document that many in defence have looked over. He was a popular speaker as he stepped outside of the military box yet he knew the military. https://wearethemutants.com/2018/06/12/warrior-monks-and-video-technoids-documents-of-the-first-earth-battalion-1979-1982/

The only winning is when we all win. That is homeostasis.

PM warns Australians to prepare for a ‘more dangerous, more disorderly world’ Beijing’s South China Sea reaction ‘doesn’t correspond with reality’

Liberal MP Dave Sharma has downplayed talk of tensions with China over Australia’s submission to the United Nations rejecting Beijing’s maritime claims in the South China Sea.

Australia will ramp up defence spending to $270 billion over the next decade as the country prepares for a “post-COVID world that is poorer, more dangerous and more disorderly,” the Prime Minister said this afternoon.

Around $90bn of that will be spent on advanced new kit, including “hypersonic” weapons, fighter jets and a cyber warfare capability. Australia will also put its own spy satellites in space.

It’s a ballsy move designed to project Australia’s military might, show it can hit back if provoked and give it more muscle on the world stage.

But Mr Morrison thinks it’s necessary, telling the Australian Defence Force Academy today that, “the Indo-Pacific is the epicentre of rising strategic competition.”

“We have seen recently on the disputed border between India and China, in the South China Sea, and in the East China Sea.”

China is extending its influence into Pacific areas where Australia, New Zealand and the US have long been the pre-eminent powers.

The aim is for Australia to not only to guard its patch of the Pacific but also fend off cyber-attacks and warfare. The budget boost will see the ADF grow by 800 personnel.

“The Indo-Pacific is where we live. We want an open, sovereign Indo-Pacific, free from coercion and hegemony, Mr Morrison said.


Just as relations have deteriorated with China, so Australia’s has been increasing its military links to India and other nations on our side of the world.

In the 2020 Defence Strategic Update and the new Force Structure Plan, released by Scott Morrison today, he announced defence spending would hit at least 2 per cent of gross domestic product in the 2020/21 financial year. The government will give Defence $270 billion over the next decade – up from the $195 billion promised in 2016.

The PM said Australia needed stronger deterrence capabilities to “influence their calculus of costs involved in threatening Australian interests”.

“The simple truth is this: even as we stare down the COVID pandemic at home, we need to also prepare for a post-COVID world that is poorer, more dangerous and more disorderly,” he said.

Australian authorities have raised recent concerns over cyber-attacks from China and Russia, terror cells throughout the Indo-Pacific and the shifting regional power balance between China and the US.

NEW WEAPONS, SATELLITES AND JETS

Defence will get lots of cash to spend on fancy new technology.

The first cash splash is almost modest compared to what is also on the cards, with the ADF to get the US built AGM-158C long range anti-ship missiles, at a cost of $800 million.

Australia then intends to spend $10bn to jump on the hypersonic bandwagon – the must have missile of the 2020s.

These hypersonic weapons, if they can be made to work, have two major benefits. Firstly, they are incredibly fast and can head towards the enemy at speeds of greater than Mach 5. Secondly, they can duck and weave in an effort to evade enemy defences.

That’s in contrast to current long-range missiles that follow a predictable arc as they head towards their target.

These could be used to protect critical shipping lanes that Australia depends upon. For instance, 90 per cent of the oil Australia uses is imported and much of that passes through Singapore.

FACTS ABOUT COVID19:

 

1) Dr. Anthony Fauci wrote in The New England Journal of Medicine on February 28, 2020 
    If one assumes that the number of asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic cases is several times as high as the number of reported cases, the case fatality rate may be considerably less than 1%. This suggests that the overall clinical consequences of Covid-19 may ultimately be more akin to those of a severe seasonal influenza (which has a case fatality rate of approximately 0.1%)…


2) Professor Neil Ferguson of The Imperial College of London, Director of Medical Research, it was his Imperial model projections that had the United States and the United Kingdom go into lock down in mid-March. Now it is FACTUAL information that his Imperial model was over 2000% wrong. He refused to give his code over to other scientists for peer review for 6 weeks. When he did finally hand over his research, which put most of the world into lock down; it had been modified for over a month by Microsoft coders. Now scientific peer review of the Imperial model coding has labeled the coding a “Complete Faud”. This is the data that everyone in the world went by in March 2020. Professor Neil Ferguson has quit as a government adviser on coronavirus after admitting an “error of judgement”.


3) Thousands of doctors, scientists and medical researchers have said that Covid19 is no worse than a severe seasonal influenza. In perfect alignment with what Dr. Anthony Fauci stated on February 28, 2020. However, many of these experts have been censored on social media platforms.


4) There is no valid science that supports healthy people wearing a mask. This point about wearing masks was even mentioned by Dr. Anthony Fauci on 60 Minutes. There is a lot of science that actual states that for healthy people to wear mask is not good for their health. Dr. Dan Erikson stated in his press conference on April 22, 2020, that a healthy person wearing a mask may actually lower their immune system. The Immune systems needs to be exposed to the environment to stay healthy.


5) There is NO REAL SCIENCE behind social distancing. This is something that was just made up in the past few months, with no prior scientific studies to prove how effective it is.


6) For the past 3 years, on average 250,000 people died EVERY MONTH in the United States. Hundred of thousands of people die each year from the Flu. The 2017-2018 Flu season was worse than Covid19. Those death actually died of the Flu. Many deaths reported that are being reported now have NOT died from Covid19, they have died of heart attacks, cancer, stokes, diabetes and many other causes of death. However, they have been counted in the Covid19 death toll. Here is an article from September 2018: CDC: 80,000 people died of Flu last winter in U.S. https://www.statnews.com/2018/09/26/cdc-us-flu-deaths-winter/
The total deaths in the United States has not gone up this year. Last I checked, in mid-April, it had gone DOWN 6%.


7) University studies around the country are showing that Covid19 is no more than a bad Flu.


8) Sweden and other countries that did not impose a lock down on their citizens. Their statistics are much better than most countries that imposed lock down on their citizens. And Sweden did not destroy their economy keeping their citizens safe and healthy.
