Katherine Mansfield | En la bahía
[en «Fiesta en el jardín y otros cuentos» 1922]
“Por la mañana, muy temprano. Aún no había salido el sol y toda la bahía de Crescent estaba oculta bajo la neblina blancuzca del mar. Las colinas cubiertas de maleza, en la parte de atrás, quedaban difuminadas.”[...] Seguir leyendo en: https://tinyurl.com/24hfo6ag

CW: 2016: US military bases in Australia: Protecting us or putting us at risk? NewsDotCom
The USA is no longer our friend. At what point does it become our enemy. It flies its soldiers and its weapons in and out of the country in secret. They need to be evicted ASAP.
#PineGap Is the “poisoned heart of Australia”
“Some of the world’s best fighters and bombers, and Osprey hybrid aircraft, now regularly fly into Darwin and nearby #ShoalBay Receiving Station and #RAAFTindal in #Katherine, with huge ships coming down from a US base in Okinawa, Japan.
…
“The Defence Satellite Communication Station at #Geraldton in Western Australia, along with #Kojarena 20km inland, was one of Australia’s spy bases. It is now shared with two large American operational military communication systems that pull down information on Indonesian and Chinese satellites from the sky. This is part of the Five Eyes surveillance system used in Iraq and Afghanistan…
”Australia paid $800 million for one of the satellites used by this system. But if America does not approve of an operation the Australian Defence Force requests, for example in Timor, it can turn off our access, says Prof Tanter.
“The US also has access to the #Delamere Air Weapons range and the #BradshawRanges (which are the size of Cyprus) in the NT, and the multinational training facility of #ShoalwaterBay in Rockhampton, which boasts a mock town complete with pub, mosque and church…
“Mr Doherty believes there are effectively almost 50 joint bases from #Broome in WA to #Richmond in NSW, since the US can use all Australian bases in a poorly defined “emergency”, and regularly does. The government insists there are only two joint bases, Pine Gap and #NorthWestCape, since troops rotate out of #Darwin — a claim Prof Tanter slams as “specious”.

‘Reactionary nihilism’: how a rightwing movement strives to end US democracy
There is a “real and very, very present” threat to the US from a shadowy collection of rightwing leaders,
a new book on the movement behind Donald Trump warns,
with the aim being
“an end to pluralistic democracy”.#Katherine #Stewart, a journalist who specializes in the religious right, spent years researching the money and influence that has aided and encouraged tens of millions of Americans in their worship at the throne of Trump.
The result is
"Money, Lies and God: Inside the Movement to Destroy American Democracy",
which sees Stewart explore the “antidemocratic movement”
– an unholy mix of Christian nationalists, billionaire oligarchs and conservative ideologues who have seized control of the Republican party,
and aim to fundamentally change the US.“#Money is a huge part of the story,
meaning that huge concentrations of wealth have destabilized the political system.Second, #lies, or conscious disinformation, is a huge feature of this movement.
And third #God, because the most important ideological framework for the largest part of this movement is Christian nationalism,” Stewart said.
In the book, Stewart details how Republicans have been held hostage by the antidemocratic movement,
something that “came together long before Donald Trump descended on a golden escalator in 2015 to announce his candidacy for president”.Stewart – whose previous two books,
"The Good News Club" and
"The Power Worshippers",
focused on the impact of the Christian right and religious nationalism in the US
– spent years traveling to an array of rightwing conferences,
from Christian nationalist events to
”Make America great again” fests and sober thinktank talks,
and found many similarities.The eclectic groups may not seem to have much in common, but their aim is the same:
bringing an end to democracy in the US as we know it.Their method of achieving that is the same too.
“The overwhelming message, from speaker after speaker, was that ‘Trump needs to be allowed to enact his agenda, and you need to get behind him,’” Stewart said.Though there is an intriguing collection of individuals and organizations in the movement,
Stewart categorizes its members as #Christian #nationalists
– who believe, wrongly, that America was founded as a Christian nation and must be governed as such
– and the #super-#rich, who are seeking to secure their own wealth at the expense of others.“Much of the energy of the movement, too, comes from below,
from the anger and resentment that characterizes life among those who perceive, more or less accurately, that they are falling behind,” Stewart writes.“The best label I can find for the phenomenon
– and I do not pretend it is a fully satisfactory label
– is ‘#reactionary #nihilism’.
It is reactionary in the sense that it expresses itself as mortal opposition to a perceived catastrophic change in the political order;
it is nihilistic because its deepest premise is that the actual world is devoid of value,
impervious to reason, and governable only through brutal acts of will.It stands for a kind of unraveling of the American political mind
– a madness that now afflicts one side of nearly every political debate.” -
