Just listened to a Dollop about Whitlam and it sounds like the dismissal may have actually been more of a CIA coup than we thought https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/532-gough-whitlam-and-1975-live-w-gen-fricker/id643055307?i=1000560226531

I write when there is something new to say, so it seems kind of redundant when Dave Anthony has already done it. Also it's kind of included anyway

Less than 20,000 words on the subject, I'm not convinced.

Again you guys seem to be missing the point here. Was this common knowledge? I don't think I'd ever heard of it. Not that it's surprising or anything of course.

Aware posted:I can barely read this, can you elaborate? Sure, instead instead of discussing the interesting and previously unexplored topic of American influence in our domestic political affairs, and their stunnilgy effective efforts to fight progressiviam globally, you are making a tired joke about a poster and the effort they put into explaining extremely complicated and important stories. GoldStandardConure posted:i am never gonna listen to that podcast so post as many words as you want about it, i'll read them It's a good podcast, but the short version is that the American ambassador at the time was an ex-CIA guy who had a series of postings in countries that strangely all seemed to have coups while he was there. Nixon/Kissinger hated Whitlam for his opposition to the Vietnam War and called him a peace-nick, and Kerr had some shady CIA connections in his past as well. There's no "proof" or anything, but the pattern definitely checks out and all the correspondence at the time is consistent with America saying "gently caress this guy let's get rid of him" and then tapping Kerr to pull some unprecedented poo poo like that.

Bucky Fullminster posted:Again you guys seem to be missing the point here. In this thread, at least, I'd probably say the dismissal is widely understood to involve CIA trickery. I've certainly heard of the connection before, though as far as the public consciousness is concerned I don't think most people know about it.

Bucky it's a bit odd that it took you this long to realize what Capital has been up to, but welcome to the show. You should dig into Dialectical Materialism if you want to know more. It will really help you tie things together with regards to your work on contemporary fascism and conspiracy.

A group of people had been trying to get them for a long time, and finally did so a few years ago. An Australian academic (who spoke at an NTEU national council meeting right before Covid) put in the yards going through them and released a book; but between the Liberals being in power and they and the mainstream media having zero interest in promoting the narrative that the Libs were complicit in a straight-up coup OR that the Americans had a major role in it, and the global pandemic hitting not long after it did fall into the memory hole a bit. It's not something most Australians under 60 would be that familiar with. While the dismissal was covered when I was in secondary school, the narrative was more around demonstrating how the Governer General's failsafe works in the event of a hung parliament, and not how extraordinary the whole ordeal was, or the underlying geopolitical context. It's definitely something worth talking about, as people not extremely online and plugged into leftist politics would likely have no clue how vulnerable our parliamentary system is to foreign intervention.

Any chance of recalling the author/book?

It's a loving outrage. And what's worse, when the unions were gearing up for arguably the most appropriate strike in history, Bob bloody Hawke talked them down.

Revelations were made about political actitivies from 60 years ago... during a pandemic. Only super clued in people really got a wind of it.

It's a bit hacky honestly that the leader of the opposition, who's fash as gently caress and hates trans people also looks like Voldemort. Like, come on writers room, that's just lazy. Also, read another book.
