AUSTRALIA: A GREAT BIG "NEVADA" DOWN UNDER
|
|
==========================================
|
|
|
|
Australia is the land that time forgot. It drifted off into its
|
|
continental isolation aeons ago, and a localized evolution
|
|
occurred. For example, there are giant jackrabbits of
|
|
astonishing size -- called "kangaroos" (as if that fools anyone.)
|
|
|
|
The Bass Strait area is known for mysterious happenings. In
|
|
1920, strange lights were seen there, and a ship, the S.S. Amelia
|
|
J., vanished without a trace. A search aircraft similarly
|
|
vanished at this time. [1]
|
|
|
|
The deep cover Australian Intelligence service, the Australian
|
|
Security and Intelligence Organization (ASIO), was born as a
|
|
child of British Intelligence in 1948. This was at about the
|
|
same time as the American Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) was
|
|
created. ASIO has two known branches: intelligence and
|
|
counter-espionage. [1]
|
|
|
|
But what exactly would the Aussies be using their own spy agency
|
|
for, you might wonder. The idea of Australian spies lurking
|
|
behind the scenes in Istanbul, Beirut, and Moscow is hard to
|
|
imagine. Super-secret organizations such as CIA and ASIO all
|
|
seem to have sprung up right after World War II. Their cover
|
|
rationale has been that they were needed to fight Communism. But
|
|
was the Red Menace such a sudden precipitator that, in a few
|
|
short years, it caused a skyrocketing growth in covert "national
|
|
security"-type organizations? I suspect there was more involved.
|
|
|
|
A "Mr. D." (pseudonym) contacted Stan Seers of the Queensland
|
|
Flying Saucer Research Bureau (QFSRB) in 1959. Mr. D. said he
|
|
was with ASIO and showed credentials to prove it. He put out
|
|
feelers, asking Seers if he would "play ball" with ASIO. They
|
|
would give Seers certain info, from time to time, regarding
|
|
"Unusual Aerial Sightings" (UAS). In return, presumably, ASIO
|
|
would exert control over Seers. Seers asked for a little time to
|
|
think it over. [1]
|
|
|
|
Seers had assumed that it would be all right to consult with
|
|
other members of QFSRB regarding the ASIO offer. He later
|
|
learned otherwise. The ASIO plan had actually been to deal with
|
|
only Seers. But Mr. D. had neglected to emphasize that to Seers.
|
|
After Seers went ahead and consulted with his group, Mr. D.
|
|
became furious. [1]
|
|
|
|
However Mr. D. "rolled with the punches." He pretended to be an
|
|
ardent UAS (UFO) enthusiast, and cozied up, individually, to
|
|
members of QFSRB. He also insinuated distrust of Seers into the
|
|
group. Within a year, former close friends in QFSRB had grown
|
|
mistrustful of one another. Seers later claimed that similar
|
|
tactics had been used by ASIO against other UFO groups in
|
|
Australia. [1]
|
|
|
|
In 1968, the QFSRB set up special motion picture cameras in a
|
|
location known for unusual aerial phenomena. The cameras were
|
|
designed to be self-activating, triggered by presumed UFO
|
|
activity. On March 4th, an unknown aerial event got the cameras
|
|
rolling. The film was retrieved, hand-delivered to the post
|
|
office, and mailed to Kodak of Melbourne to be processed. QFSRB
|
|
personally saw to it that the film was properly posted and put
|
|
directly into the mailbag. But unfortunately, ASIO had their own
|
|
agent placed inside the Kodak processing department. Two weeks
|
|
after mailing, QFSRB received an empty packet back from Kodak.
|
|
"Had QFSRB forgot to include the film in its original mailing?"
|
|
wondered the film lab. [1]
|
|
|
|
On the ground at North West Cape, Western Australia, is America's
|
|
super-secret National Security Agency (NSA). But what is our NSA
|
|
doing in Australia? Couldn't the Aussies be handling whatever it
|
|
is without an encampment of NSA in their midst? What are U.S.
|
|
bases (forts), such as Pine Gap, doing way down under in
|
|
Australia? What exactly are we "protecting" Australia from? Is
|
|
it, even today, Communists inspiring this fear, or is it
|
|
"something else" -- "something," for example, that caused pilot
|
|
Frederick Valentich to just plain disappear while flying in the
|
|
previously-mentioned Bass Strait area on October 21, 1978? [1]
|
|
|
|
Pine Gap is the largest spy base in the world, and it's in
|
|
Australia of all places! (But then again, the enormous outback
|
|
region there is like a giant Nevada, so it makes sense.) Former
|
|
Australian Prime Minister Gough Whitlam was going to name names
|
|
of CIA personnel at Pine Gap, so CIA just evicted Mr. Whitlam
|
|
right out of office, in 1975. [2] Pine Gap reportedly has huge
|
|
underground facilities (as do the Pentagon and the White House,
|
|
by the way. The White House is said to have "many, many levels
|
|
=below= the basement... that keep going down and down." [3])
|
|
Some sources even contend that Pine Gap is simultaneously
|
|
operational in the 3rd, 4th, and 5th dimensions. [4]
|
|
|
|
So you thought Australia was just Crocodile Dundee (now
|
|
mysteriously replaced by a look-alike double in the Subaru
|
|
commercials), funny-talking people ("Put a shrimp on the
|
|
barbie"), and a few rock and roll bands. That's what they want
|
|
you to think. Australia is the mother of all Area-51s, disguised
|
|
as just a bunch of sheep-farmers.
