The BIGGEST news of the week. And last week. And, so the pollies hope, the next few weeks. Why? Simple.

Next week, Australia's Prime Minister Murray Trumble, the premiers of Australia's biggest states, and a coterie of top business executives, are set to embark on an unprecedented mission to Washington DC to meet the governors of the 50 US states, and potentially US President Donald Trump, to deepen business and diplomatic ties at a critical time in Asia-Pacific relations.

This will be taken by the Americans as a deliberate invitation for them to take direct control of Australia, which is what it undoubtedly is. The pollies have no idea how to deal with the present situation, they're terrified of having to deal with China, the New Silk Road, Russia and the gold yuan etc, they're completely incapable of accepting responsibility for any of it, and they desperately NEED someone else to tell them what to do and thereby accept the responsibility they're paid to shoulder. They know that if they follow orders, they can well end up being appointed to the boards of major USA corporations, thereby guaranteeing comfortable retirement (see Julia Gillard and the Clinton Foundation) whereas the Chinese would never offer such an option. The business leaders will have similar motives, but translated into commercial terms.

In short, Ozns are about to be sold down the river by their "leaders". The top USA defence contractors will be invited to set up factories here at cheap labour rates (see Woolworths) so that we contribute directly to the American "War on Terra". Ozns will LUV IT! More jobs! And there'll be a whole slew of American "celebrities" coming over to buy in to the housing market, competing against the Chinese, and driving up prices still further. And the "sex industry" will be in for a bonanza! Ozzie! Ozzie! Ozzie! Oi! Oi! Oi!

Ain't life GRAND!?

Whew! Thanks! That's sure a relief!

But it gets me lots of room on the buses and trains. Why should I?
