  1. Australia had a traitor in its midst. Robert Gordon "Pig Iron Bob" Menzies was that traitor. Just before the war, there were ships in our major ports waiting to take a cargo of pig iron to Japan. The waterfront unions were concerned that this pig iron would come back to Australia in the form of bombs so they placed an embargo on the ships. They would be proved right in their fears. Menzies broke the embargo and the ships sailed. 1941 saw the pig iron returning to Australia in the bombs that fell on the town of Darwin and the City of Broome. That very same pig iron fell on Pearl Harbour, Hawaii. Then there was the "Brisbane Line", Menzies was overruled on this so it didn't go ahead, but his mere suggestion of it should've had him facing a firing squad for his treason. The plan was to cede the northern half of the Australian continent to the invading Japanese forces, would that they were successful. Thankfully for us, they weren't. But that was the traitorous nature of Menzies, a despicable, contemptible, foul loathsome TRAITOR!

  2. Obviously your a supporter of that man-child Trump so there'll be no getting sense out of you. While these arms manufacturers are supplying weapons to so-called "friendly" states, they're supplying through "back-door" channels the dictatorships propped up by the US. Saddam Hussein was once propped up by the US as well, or have you forgotten? America has interfered with the sovereignties of several middle-eastern countries and yet America kicks up a stink if those middle-eastern countries dare to assert themselves. As evil as Islamic State was, and is, the rise of ISIS and the Taliban or Al Qaeda would more than likely never come about if America kept its nose out of those middle-eastern countries' affairs. If America had followed Jimmy Carter's example and kept out of other countries' affairs, "let sleeping dogs lie" then 11/9/2001(note the correct order, day/month/year) would NEVER have happened.

  3. Think not of small consumer goods companies, think instead of large arms armament and weapon manufacturers, like Haliburton and others of that ilk. Those who've tied themselves to congress and senators of both Republican and Democrat parties.

  4. No, you don't paint red or yellow, but GREEN! As in the "greenback dollar" for the millions of which your congressmen and senators sell you citizens out to huge greedy corporations!

  5. John Curtin! Curtin was his correct surname, not Curtain.

  6. You keep voting for Donald Duck... er... Trump and send America further down the toilet. Jimmy Carter was America's best president. He kept America OUT of wars where the Bushes, senior and Junior were only too keen to pick a fight with any middle-eastern country on any pretext, and where no pretext existed, they made one up.....Weapons of Mass Destruction ring a bell?
