Thank you Bruce for your kind words. I fear they are in short supply lately everywhere. JP Farrell and his USA citizen fans may not be aware that Aust has been the closet of your of your allies since Dec 1942. Why ? Well the Japs bombed Darwin NT Australia soon after Pearl Harbor and levelled the joint. So severe was the attack iylys severity was kept secret from the Aust people for 30yrs. We have some of the most important overseas bases the US has on this planet . Noting we have had them since the 60s. Apart from Sub bases in Western Australia. The other point is unlike many of your European allies we don’t have memories like a cockroach .
Have a good Xmas. God knows it’s gonna be a weird one.

Hi Bruce-Now on a computer instead of a dopey phone sending me blind with better formatting. I was going to live in America as a biz migrate back in late 90s. Unhappy at home-Divorced my wife and whalla, she was the problem -not the country . Had a private tour through the Whitehouse by a secret service agent I met on the street outside my hotel. Them were the days . There was this minor car accident in front of me and what I thought was a cop nearby was an Agent. Started a conversation with the guy about why all 3 x services responded to such a minor dingle. Seems SOP in DC. My then brother inlaw was a Highway Patrol Police Officer in NSW and I carried some shoulder patches to swap. Vey boys thing. Being ex Aus Army in my kid days I know how these work with the lads. He took me on a tour through the Clinton WH which was eye-opener I tell you-19 yr old Monica Lewinsky was the headliner at the time. Another conversation. Had a stop over in Chicago on a train-“The Empire Builder “. Now that’s a name for a train! Trip east-West across USA to Seattle WA from NYC. Back to your post. Aus in many ways since 1942 has become by the process of osmosis US 51st State. My fellow 25 Mil citizens would disagree however the fact are the facts. Out business law is more American based that UK-Our GAAP accountancy rules mirror USA . We converted from Pounds /Shilling /Pence in 1966 to $ -that’s an indicator surely?
Federation in Aus was 1901-But after the fall of Singapore where thousands of Aus troops commanded by an imbecile, cowardly Brit general staff surrendered without a bloody shot fired. This resulted in hundreds of needless of Aussies deaths and the rest suffering torment from the Jap torture to the end of their days. Just a bit of history you won’t read about.
As for the future of America- have faith. It’s a stuff up at present-no risk-The mil/ind presence now has to make a decision to fight the bank cartels who have positioned themselves along with the new media like FB etc. Men and women who put themselves in harm’s way for peanut pay are someone you can rely on . Until the outcome is it Dec 8 or 14 it’s all up in the air. No one knows what the hell is going on. It’s a 3rd world electoral system in the most powerful 1st world country on the planet. Trump is different but I think everyone in America recognises he isn’t connected to dangerous groups. Just a wild dude with a spectacular beautiful wife-a guy you wouldn’t trust with your own if you went to the toilet for a pee. If he doesn’t win he a
has stacked the Supreme so that is something. The stench of the Clintons years and the abject lies of the GW Bush yrs engaging the Mideast in continual war may end up being forgotten. Cross your fingers-I am.
