Aussie PM dumped by own party

[Magda Hassan]

So....I was Whitlam light?! Seems that the powers behind the scenes down under simply will not allow anyone left of pretty far Right to hold top offices - How does Rudd hope to get around this power-structure and the Murdock propaganda machine?! I know the USA was fully behind the Whitlam massacre via the British as proxies via the Australian Right as second proxies - what was the order of battle this last time?

Murdoch was initially a Whitlam supporter and there is a great book of the time called 'Fixing the News' which clearly shows the turning point. It was literally one day. The morning headline supported Whitlam and the evening headline he was calling for him to go. No doubt it was around the time Murdoch probably had his conversation with Ray Cline and Ted Shackley and co and probably after the likely generous deposit from Nugan Hand. So policy was changed in mid stream. There was just about to be a media inquiry here as a result of the hacking scandal in the UK. This had huge public support and luke warm support form the parties and still hasn't been played out so it will be interesting to see how it plays out here. Murdoch will back the Liberals which is like the Tories or Republicans here but in the contest between Julia Gillard and Kevin Rudd he will back Julia who is the more acceptable choice of the ruling classes here and the US. The people resoundingly support Kevin Rudd over Julia. She never lost the stench from the deception of the 2010 coup and lack legitimacy in the eyes of most. Though the party elects the leader and people vote for a party not a person like in the US people's perception is that 'they' voted for Kevin Rudd and he was taken from them by outsiders. And not much will change that perception and certainly not before the next election. The US want either Julia or the Liberals. They absolutely do not want Kevin. Rudd is by no means a radical or even left but too much for the powers that be as was Whitlam. There are US moles in the Labor party, Mark Arbib and Bill Shorten being the likely candidates and more recently another candidate may be former Labor leader and now ambassador to the US Kim Beazley, who happens to be a Rhodes Scholar and former defence minister....with all that entails....And who just returned from a trip to the US and met with Hilary 2 weeks before the coup....None of this is discussed in the media here but hasn't gone un-noticed by many.

While Rudd has the support of the people, voters, today, he got the backing of one of the big players in the party Anthony Albanese. He was very emotional in his press conference in his declaration of support for Rudd. He also stated that what happened to Rudd in 2010 was not right.

Members outside Australia might not be able to watch this with out an Australian proxy IP but it is a very interesting programme which was screened last week before the challenge about many events to do with Kevin Rudd. http://www.abc.net.au/4corners/stories/2...427070.htm
