Mainstream Media Lying Hides Corporate,
US And Zionist Subversion Of Australian Democracy

By Dr Gideon Polya

11 February, 2012
Countercurrents.org

Australia is one of the World's oldest democracies but is now a corporate-, US- and Zionist-perverted country in which neocon, pro-war, pro-US, pro-Zionist, corporatist Australian Mainstream media (including the taxpayer-funded ABC, the Australian equivalent of the taxpayer-funded UK BBC) remorselessly censor  news,  reader comments and foreign perversion of Australian democracy (e.g. see “Censorship by The Age”: https://sites.google.com/site/mainstreammediacensorship/censorship-by-the-age ,  “ABC Censorship”: https://sites.google.com/site/abccensorship/  and “Mainstream Media Lying”: https://sites.google.com/site/mainstreammedialying/ ).

Below is an example of censorship by The Age newspaper, Melbourne, of non-anonymous, credentialled reader comments referring to an excellent article by outstanding expatriate Australian journalist John Pilger in Green Left Weekly (“Threat to Assange a threat to us all": http://www.greenleft.org.au/node/49948 )  and an excellent article by outstanding anti-racist Jewish Australian writer Antony Loewenstein (“Does the Zionist Lobby have blood on its hands in Australia?": http://antonyloewenstein.com/2010/07/02/does-the-zionist-lobby-have-blood-on-its-hands-in-australia/ ).  

By way of background, conservative Labor leader Kevin Rudd had been elected PM of Australia in a huge election victory in November  2007 but in 2010 was subject to a huge campaign from the mainly foreign-owned Mining industry over a proposed Mining Tax, encountered fierce opposition from the Zionist Lobby over his timid objections to Israeli state terrorism violating  Australian rights, and was finally deposed in a pro-Zionist-led Coup in June 2010 and replaced as PM by pro-Mining, pro-coal, pro-gas, pro-war, pro-US, pro-Zionist hard-liner Julia Gillard. However Kevin Rudd  remains vastly more popular than Julia Gillard who has seriously lost public credibility and public support, and there is considerable speculation  about a Rudd comeback.

It should be noted that the reformist Whitlam Labor Government (1972-1975), despite being elected in successive elections, was deposed by a governor–general with CIA links. Whitlam had promised to pull Australian troops out of Vietnam and wanted greater say over US bases in Australia . In 2004 the Labor leader Mark Latham was publicly vetoed mid-election by the US Ambassador for promising to bring Australian troops back from Iraq . Now it appears from WikiLeaks that PM Kevin Rudd fell foul of the US for suggesting the possibility of bringing Australian troops back from Afghanistan , in addition to falling foul of the racist Zionists  for giving Apartheid Israel a gentle slap on the wrist for forging Australian passports for terrorist purposes and violently kidnapping Australian citizens in international waters. The Labor Government had tried to mend fences with the powerful Israel Lobby and in 2010 signed a $349 million defence contract that put racist Zionists at the heart of Australia's defence (see “Activist questions contract”, Sydney Morning Herald, 27 October 2010: http://www.smh.com.au/national/activist-questions-contract-20101026-172eo.html  ) but it was to no avail and it was curtains for popularly-elected PM Rudd who had been elected in 2007 in a landslide victory dubbed a “Rudd-slide”.

Pro-war, pro-fossil fuels, pro-US, pro-Zionist PM Gillard has publicly supported more war in Afghanistan, approved more Planet-killing coal exports, publicly supported a policy of “all the way with the USA”, permitted the permanent stationing of 2,500 child-killing US Marines in Darwin and recently approved recruitment of US Alliance soldiers for the Australian Defence Force (ADF) with the promise of Australian citizenship for such personnel  - presumably US, UK and possibly Apartheid Israeli personnel - who have been involved in the Zionist-backed, US-imposed Muslim Holocaust and Muslim Genocide. The Muslim Holocaust  has been associated with 12 million Muslim war-related violent deaths and avoidable deaths from war-imposed deprivation since 1990, the breakdown being 4.6 million (Iraq, 1990-2011), 2.2 million (Somalia, 1992-2012), 0.2 million  (Palestine, 1990-2012), 50,000 (Libya, 2011-2012) and 5.6 million (Afghanistan, 2001-2012) (for the shocking details see “Muslim Holocaust, Muslim Genocide: https://sites.google.com/site/muslimholocaustmuslimgenocide/ ).

Needless to say,  neocon, pro-war, pro-US, pro-Zionist, corporatist Australian Mainstream media (including the taxpayer-funded ABC) have ignored the 12 million war-related deaths in the Muslim Holocaust,  have minimized foreign ownership of the Mining Industry, have all but ignored WikiLeaks-revealed close Labor associations with the US, and  have ignored the scandalous links of Liberal-National Party Coalition Opposition and Labor Government (aka Lib-Lab) identities with race-based, genocidal, nuclear terrorist, racist Zionist-run Apartheid Israel (for details of the latter see Antony Loewenstein, “Does the Zionist Lobby have blood on its hands in Australia?": http://antonyloewenstein.com/2010/07/02/does-the-zionist-lobby-have-blood-on-its-hands-in-australia/ ; Gideon Polya, “Pro-Zionist-led coup ousts Australian PM Rudd”, MWC News: http://mwcnews.net/focus/politics/3488-pro-zionist-led-coup.html ; Gideon Polya, “50 ways racist Zionists (RZs) and Israeli state terrorism (IST) threaten Australia and your country too”, Bellaciao: http://bellaciao.org/en/spip.php?article19618 ; and  “I've been to Israel too”, Middle East Reality Check: http://middleeastrealitycheck.blogspot.com.au/2009/03/ive-been-to-israel-too.html ).   

On 10 February 2012 The Age newspaper, Melbourne published an article by its political editor Michelle Grattan about the continuing ex-PM Kevin Rudd versus PM Julia Gillard affair and entitled “The waiting game goes on” (see: http://www.theage.com.au/opinion/politics/the-waiting-game-goes-on-20120209-1rwhc.html  ). The Age completely censored my following  non-anonymous submitted comment on the article,  presumably on the basis that it contains material The Age  does not want its readers to read, know or think about:

“There is much more to the Rudd resurrection than just the fortunes of the neocon Australian Labor Party (Another Liberal Party, an Alternative Liberal Party) - it gives  decent patriotic Australians an opportunity to decide whether Australia is for Australians  or is simply a plaything of (1) the Mining lobby , (2) the Americans and/or (3) the Zionist Lobby.

1. It was reported by the Australian Electoral Commission and thence The Age that the campaign by the mostly foreign-owned Mining Industry  that ousted PM Kevin Rudd and almost removed Labor from office had cost a mere $23 million.

2. Outstanding expatriate Australian writer  John Pilger reports in the latest Green Left Weekly ("Threat to Assange a threat to us all") that "WikiLeaks has given Australians a rare glimpse of how their country is run. In 2010 leaked US cables disclosed that key government figures in the Labor Party coup that brought Julia Gillard to power  were "protected" sources of the US embassy: what the CIA calls "assets". Kevin Rudd, the prime minister she ousted, had displeased Washington by being disobedient..."

3. Outstanding, anti-racist Jewish Australian writer Antony  Loewenstein in an article "Does the Zionist Lobby have blood on its hands in Australia ?" details  the extreme pro-Zionist stance of the coup plotters.”

Conclusions.

As illustrated by the resolute refusal of Australian Mainstream media to report the actual history of the US- and Zionist-backed anti-Rudd Coup, Australia is in thrall to foreign-owned mining companies, the endlessly subversive neocon Americans and the racist Zionist Lobby. What is happening in Australia is symptomatic of neo-fascist corporate, neocon American and racist Zionist perversion and subversion of the Western democracies  that have become neo-fascist, corporatist Murdochracies (Big Money buys public perception and votes) and Lobbyocracies (Big Money buys politicians, parties, policies  and elections).

What can decent , anti-war, anti-racism, pro-equity, pro-democracy people do? Decent folk – the 99% - must (a) inform everyone they can about the perversion of our democracy; (b) urge and apply sanctions and boycotts against corporations, countries, politicians and indeed all people complicit in such perversion; (c) demand, as did John Kennedy and Robert Kennedy,  that traitorous racist Zionists are registered as agents of a foreign power; and (d)  urge the sidelining  of racist Zionists and their supporters from public life as have been like racists such as the Nazis, neo-Nazis, Apartheiders and the KKK.

In US- and Zionist-beholden Australia, for example, that means a boycott of all Mainstream media and that decent folk should vote 1 Green and put Labor last until it returns to decent values and ceases being an anti-Arab anti-Semitic and anti-Jewish anti-Semitic tool of the Neocon Americans and Zionist Imperialists  (NAZIs) who currently hold sway Downunder (see “ Lib-Lab Apartheid Australia Supports Demonstrator-killing  
Racist Zionist-Run Apartheid Israel
”: http://www.countercurrents.org/polya080611.htm  ). Restoring former Labor PM Kevin Rudd to the prime ministership would be an important step toward re-assertion of democracy and national independence in Australia .
