Not Reporting A War Part 2
Pete Hegseth is the Peter Principle applied to the largest weapons arsenal in human history. Pine Gap guides the missiles. Australian-made F-35 parts are in the payload. And our media calls it a partnership. Part Two of Urban Wronski’s investigation into what Australia’s press is not reporting, and what our silence is costing.https://urbanwronski.com/2026/04/12/not-reporting-a-war-part-2/

Nah @SolQuill
Trump has shown that all bets are off - all contracts are null & void. I reckon tell them the rent has gone up (and to be paid in advance, of course) for all military and intelligence facilities. We should be able to screw enough out of them to more than cover the cost of those submarines that we're never likely to get anyway.#AusPol

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”.
