The Australian Position

In contrast to the Australian Foreign Minister’s ‘yezz boss’ attitude to the Americans, Helen Clark, New Zealand PM, has joined other nations in not formally recognising the illegal secession of Kosovo. Notwithstanding Smith’s early show of subservience we are about to be treated to an even greater exhibition of servility from the new Rudd Labor government! The Australian Foreign Minister, Stephen Smith, is currently rummaging through his wardrobe looking for his ornate, formal dress kneepads in preparation for the visit of the American Defence Secretary, Robert Gates!

The Dili embrace: Kevin Rdd and Xanana Gusmao

The shameless and cowardly attitude toward the Americans is noted. It seems the flagrant ILLEGALITY of Kosovo’s secession is acceptable to Smith -- a spineless wimp never allows legal issues to interfere with his subservient relationship with his master! But of far more interest to the international community are the comments made to an Australian Senate Estimates Committee by the Chief of the ADF, Air Marshal Angus Houston.

Houston in a tone of complaint inadvertently revealed the ADF’s displeasure of Ramos-Horta’s orders to allow Major Alfredo Reinado to freely roam about the countryside. Occupation forces were prohibited from engaging Reinado – a situation that weighed heavily on Australian forces, as Reinado had made monkeys of them on numerous occasions!

Following the assassination of Reinado and the failed assassination attempt on Ramos-Horta, Foreign Minister Smith made the comment that the assaults on government leaders were the direct result of hobbling Australian forces in relation to Reinado and asked that all restrictions placed on the ADF by the President be lifted!

Houston has now been given permission to track down the remnants of Reinado’s forces. It becomes clear that both Reinado AND Ramos-Horta were thwarting the ambitions and will of occupation forces, which are there primarily to expedite the development of oil and gas reserves for the Transnationals.

It is clear from the available information that Reinado was lured to the Presidents residence in Dili and that others lay in ambush to shoot President Ramos-Horta! The fact the ‘attack’ on PM Xanana Gusmao, was aimed at the tyres of his vehicle and not persons also is of particular interest, as those involved in shooting Reinado and the president clearly aimed to kill. Whether Gusmao is a puppet or just more aligned to western interests we do not know, however, his Australian wife would indicate that he is ‘our man’ in Timor-Leste!

The odour of a covert op is detectable from Australia!

The fact that Ramos-Horta is maintained in an induced coma does not sit well with analysts in Australian and abroad – induced comas are a short-term remedy; it is known that long duration comas are deleterious to the mental faculties.

The machinations of America and its servant ally Australia in occupied Timor-Leste are bloody obvious!

'covert' circus

Australian doctors have 'decided' to 'allow' Ramos-Horta to regain consciousness after approx. 10 days in an induced coma.

Probably the greatest crime that can be perpetrated on any leader is to rob him of his mind! The outrageously prolonged period that Ramos-Horta has been kept sedated is unjustified in most medical circles.

It remains to be seen whether the President of Timor-Leste has suffered any memory impairment as a result of the extended period he has been kept comatose.

We all wish him well and a speedy complete recovery.

We also note the FBI is now investigating the very badly managed covert operation designed to murder the Presdient and Major Reinado -- how helpful! At least now the world will be treated to a smoothed-over report from professional liars and killers!

Send in the Mafia to investigate the Mafia -- an excellent idea!
