Penmanship/Slag Knife & Horizontal Knife
In recent years, the relationship between China and Australia has taken a sharp turn for the worse, from turnbull's absurdity that "Australians have stood up" to Morrison's recent blatant challenge to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) with the nuclear thighs of the United States and the United Kingdom, we can always vaguely see a so-called "think tank" called the Australian Institute for Strategic Policy (ASPI).
Needless to say that Zhou Anlan (Alex Joske), who fabricated the fake news of "conspiring to spy on Taiwan's elections," nor did he need to say that Xu Xiuzhong, who was willing to be a traitor in order to convert to the Anti-China belief in the West, was willing to be a traitor and write a book of lies related to Xinjiang.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > the owner behind it is "forced labor"</h1>
In September, a journalist named Pepe Escobar broke the news that in early 2021, the child protection group DefeforChildren (DCI) had sued the Australian Strategic Policy Institute (ASPI), a well-known lie production team, in New South Wales. The cause of the case was that ASPI received sponsorship from the governments of the United States, the United Kingdom, and other countries, as well as arms dealers, and these donors engaged in forced labor.
But author Escobar said that despite assurances from lawyers that the funds would be cut off if any blockbuster evidence came to light, there were doubts about whether it would go to trial. A source, speaking on condition of anonymity, insisted that ASPI had directly put serious pressure on DCI's headquarters in Geneva to withdraw the case.
ASPI has long advertised itself as an independent, nonpartisan think tank. But in the second half of their own profiles, they instantly slap themselves in the face — "ASPI was established by the Australian government in 2001, with part of the funding coming from the Australian Ministry of Defence." ”
According to the consistent routine of Western media and governments, when accusing Chinese companies and Chinese media of not being objective and neutral, they often add "State-run" or "State-owned" to the text to indicate that these things are all instructed by the Chinese government. Far from it, it is self-evident to say that Twitter has labeled the Chinese media.
What's more, on the recent return of Meng Wanzhou, some foreign media, especially some American media, have soured such an explosive argument - since the Chinese government has worked so hard to save Meng Wanzhou home, does it prove that Huawei was a state-owned enterprise under the management of the Chinese government at that time.
But the problem arises, if it is this logic. The ASPI, established by the Australian government and the Australian Department of Defence, is clearly a "state-owned" institution, and its independence and so-called non-partisanism are fundamentally unfounded self-proclaimed.
According to Escobar, ASPI has received financial support from at least four U.S. military companies that use prison labor to make weapons parts. Among them are Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and Thor, military giants who have made a lot of money in the activities of sowing the plague of war around the United States.
For example, parts of the Patriot-3 missile are produced by inmates in U.S. federal prisons who are paid only 23 cents per hour.
There are even more surprising findings on the Global Studies website. Together with the military-industrial complex, imperialist forces within the United States have created a vast prison-industrial complex that generates billions of dollars a year for businesses and industries that profit from mass incarceration.
The most terrible privatization was the creation of hundreds of for-profit prisons.
According to the website, the number of inmates in for-profit private prisons in the United States tripled between 1987 and 2007. By 2007, there were 264 such prison facilities, holding nearly 99,000 adult inmates. Companies operating such facilities include the American Correctional Corporation, geo group companies, and community education centers.
Prison bonds have provided generous returns for capital investors such as Merrill Lynch, Lehman Brothers, American Express and Star Insurance. Prisoners can trade from one state to another under the most lucrative arrangements.
According to the U.S. Federal Prison Workers Report, "all able-bodied criminals must 'work.'" ”
Looking at the home page of the US Federal Prison Administration, with the traditional art of "opening a picture, followed by editing" in Western media such as the BBC and CNN, can they be called forced labor by themselves?
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > 80% of the funding comes from "independent" think tanks in Western governments</h1>
The above is the content of Escobar's revelations and some of the most thought-provoking content that can be found based on his revelations. With the attitude of not wronging the good people, we checked THE REPORTS OF ASPI for fiscal years 2018-2019, 2019-2020 and 2020-2021, further confirming the veracity of Escobar's reports and, of course, more detailed.
Looking at the latest financial report, the total revenue for the 2020-2021 fiscal year is 10679834.41 Australian dollars, of which the Australian Department of Defence core fund is 4000000 Australian dollars, accounting for 37.5% of the total funding; the federal government agencies invested 2620978.73 Australian dollars, accounting for 24.5% of the total funds; foreign government agencies invested 1995782.25 Australian dollars, accounting for 18.3% of the total funds. Therefore, the proportion of pure government background capital input is as high as 80.3%, that is, the three parts of red, yellow and brown in the pie chart below are added.
To establish ASPI's Washington division, the Australian Department of Defense provided $5 million in support.
In the foreign government agencies column, it can be seen that there are the Embassy of Japan, the Government of Canada, the Government of the Netherlands, the Government of the United Kingdom, the United States Department of Defense, and the United States Department of State. Among them, the US government has the largest amount of funds, totaling about 1.57 million Australian dollars, and the use of funds by the US Department of Defense is even more obvious: human rights in Xinjiang, Chinese science and technology, and institutional influence.
In terms of military-industrial giants, Escobar's list of names is on the list.
On the knowledge sharing platform Quora, some netizens discussed why Australia has gone further and further on the anti-China road in recent years, and also provided a more detailed list of projects in ASPI's financial report, further confirming the specific connection between ASPI and related anti-China projects.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > take money to support "Taiwan independence", "in 2019, we will encourage Australia to embrace nuclear weapons</h1>."
In our report for fiscal years 2018-2019, we also identified a "very inconspicuous" donor, a pseudo-government office in a province in the southeast of our country.
ASPI is also very good at taking money to do things, and frequently sends people to cheer up the "Taiwan independence" forces.
For example, sending a leader to an event.
He wrote a report declaring the so-called "Taiwan-Macao cooperation and joint anti-China space."
It is also an opportunity for the leader of the puppet government to show his face.
The recent establishment of AUKUS by the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia in a vain attempt to make Australia, a non-nuclear signatory to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, possess nuclear submarines with the ability to develop nuclear weapons is also very likely to have traces of ASPI's continuous lobbying.
Back in 2019, ASPI researcher Rod Lyon made his own assertion: Should Australia have its own nuclear arsenal?
He not only gave a positive answer, but even hypothesized reasons for withdrawing from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).
It is some of the Statements of the Trump administration in 2018 that gives the author the idea that the United States intends to strengthen its assurances to Australia.
Now, two years later, Australia is already putting it into action. What role does ASPI play in this? Or is it just an advertisement for ALM for U.S. arms dealers on such an article page?
Such a money from forced labor, framed and rumored about forced labor in other countries, 80% of the money comes from the "independent" department of Western government agencies, and is also a partner of the US social media giant Twitter in the fight against disinformation. It's like a murderer sitting in the judge's seat, and the case that is decided can be imagined.
