Wage Peace and AUKUS and the Submarines

Aukus is an agreement – a “security pact” – between the governments of Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States aimed at what, we don’t quite know.

Wage Peace has a special perspective on AUKUS. Here are some of our ideas – with references.

There’s are whole lot to this story. A lot remains just below the surface and is hard to see, like a submarine.

So we’ve made this lovely poster for your toilet door, to study.

Submarines carry and launch nuclear missiles, standard missiles and hypersonic missiles. Missiles are bombs. The Military Industrial Complex wants more and bigger military projects because it’s good for business, and that is its business model. Big projects necessitate the corporation to be involved for a LONG time, receiving lots and lots of government money.

First Nations Land, Submarines and Nuclear Waste

We assert that the nuclear weapons corporations want Australia to take and hold ALL UK and US’s high level nuclear waste. This is not widely documented though people following the issue in the 80s and 90s know it in their bones.

First Nations people have said No! to radioactive waste on their land 6 times. So the government under direction of the nuclear corporations will regulate it as “Defence” Land.

Australians are more likely to accept a waste dump if it’s labelled “Australian” Nuclear Waste. That’s why the nuclear companies want it labelled an “Australian” Nuclear Sub.

David Hardaker of Crikey has suggested that this is a key driver of the entire “AUKUSwillFukus” deal.

Ships and Submarines and Weapons

Americans have a zillion military projects on the go. 1 trillion US dollars a year is being spent on military projects. Every electoral area in the US has military projects which make that area beholden to the Military Industrial Complex.

There’s not enough engineers in the US for their too-BIG military projects. So Australia’s tax dollars will pay for US military shipbuilding. Through AUKUS, the US has organised Australia to fund, educate and pay a workforce to build US weapons. It’s a lie that these weapons belong to Australia. And even if they did – we would be opposed to such flagrant wasteful, distasteful purchases.

Which corporations get the BIG BUCKS? General Dynamics/Electric Boat, BAE and Boeing.

Boeing develops hypersonic missiles. It is developing these in Brisbane at the University of Queensland. The Universities are being drawn into this scenario.

Each Corporation has its pet Australian university. BAE – Adelaide Boeing – Brisbane Thales – Sydney LockheedMartin – Melbourne

Big Guys on the Inside, Submarines and State Capture

Canberra is run by ‘operatives’ of BIG corporations and consultancy firms: like Crosby Textor (CT). It’s been “infiltrated”. It’s not just about lobbying – it’s been “captured”! State Capture.

Crosby Textor infiltration is a great case study that is very relevant to AUKUS. The last Prime Minister’s private secretary had been CEO for Crosby Textor. Crosby Textor also did electioneering for Boris in the UK and the LNP in Oz. AND Crosby Textor has BIG contracts with General Dynamics. It’s basically funded by General Dynamics.

Back in the 90’s, Mr Textor was pushing for nuclear waste dumps.

Revolving Doors on the Top Floor and Submarines

Oz ambassadors and defence ministers transition into weapons companies. Chris Pyne (Nioa, Elbit), Brendan Nelson (Boeing) and Kim Beazley (Lockheed Martin)

We also have US naval commanders (appropriately labelled “Swamp Monsters” by Caitlin Johnstone) sitting near the top of the Defence Department.

Propaganda Outfits with BIG BACKERS and Submarines

A bunch of “institutes” pumped with cash from billionaires push the Pentagon’s line for AUKUS alignment: CSS ASPI USSC AMCHAM AAA

Each has it’s own associated ex Defence Minister or Ambassador on its board.

E.G. Hockey at the AAA – Nelson at AMCHAM

Exporting Weapons, Components and Submarines

Australia is organising to be a BIG weapons exporter. In 2018 they announced that Australia would plan for being in the top 10 exporters of the world. It’s strange because actually they are in the top 3 or 4 importers of weapons. This is extraordinary for a country without any threats of enemies.

Australia is already the 3rd BIGGEST importer of weapons. And Australia is attempting to develop its ‘manufacturing capabilities’.

But the US won’t allow certain types of manufacturing: the necessary Intellectual Property (IP) is withheld. We are only allowed to make what the US allows, that benefits the US. This is outlined in the excellent book of Professor Clinton Fernandes – Australia a Sub-Imperial Power.

We think there is a one main thing going on there.

ENDLESS WARS bring endless profits for endless corporations.

We can tell that Australia is planning for war with China and we are heading for war – but why and how. Who is involved? And how did these submarines come to be?

We are provoking war with China to sell weapons and keep the economy going in the USA.

Because the USA is a military industrial complex.

The US with Australia is provoking war with China to avoid war with the USA.
