Whitlam Dies - Government Overthrown in Oz by British-USA Cabal

[Magda Hassan]

Pilger has written about this before. Scanning the local papers and news media down here in Australia over the past few days, I saw absolutely nothing written about what Pilger has elaborated on above. No surprise I guess, but Pilger's sharp depiction of what we had, and what we lost, does make me a little sad.

I saw Craig Emerson, former senior ALP government minister, on TV this morning saying that it was Whitlam's poor economic policies that led to his downfall and loss at the subsequent election. Not a mention of this http://www.smh.com.au/national/murdoch-e...zson7.html or the whole the unrelenting media campaign against him for months. Not a mention of Pine Gap. Not a mention of Kerr's CIA connections and payments. Not a mention of subsequent hands off policy re Pine Gap. Not a mention of Snowden's revelations. I know Craig he is a nice guy and a very smart man but really? How blind deaf and dumb does one have to be to swallow that crap? Wont even go into Hawke's CIA links. Much kudos and discussion of the dear man and his legacy but all very superficial and restricted to an acceptable limited spectrum. Remember also that Whitlam was just a reformist and bourgeois social democrat. There was nothing revolutionary about him. He was not part of the left faction of the party who did not accept him. Just wanted more crumbs from the heavily laden table to fall to the people. He was still a red blooded capitalist.
