A friend of a friend works for the Department Of Defence. Showed me his card and everything.
I asked him about Pine Gap and he said he has been there and "its a very nice facility". Didnt say much about it though, everytime he would say "I
can neither confirm nor deny".
When I mentioned the subject of there possibly being nukes here, he laughed really hard and said he can't wait to mention that to his collegues.

See if you can milk anything out of him. Just a confirmation that either what they say it's for is what it's for, or it's only partly the truth,
for example.
Although I doubt he will reveal anything, and anything said might even just be disinfo.

Few interesting stories around here. Although the original Thread seemed kind of daft...
I too live in Australia, and it would be cool to discover some decent conspiracies lying within Australian borders.
Yes, some real nice theories and stories... especially the guy who talked about going underneath sydney and what not. What a lovely story. I wish I
could do the same one day.
Thanks for sharing everyone

My understanding of the US/Australian agreement is that Australians make up half of the staff at Pine Gap, but are not allowed into the inner secure
area. The Aussies mainly provide perimeter security and services to the US base. But we make up half the staff. The unimportant half.
It really does not matter. America supplies us with continuous up to date intelligence, and it costs us nothing. Americans pay for all the technology
that we could never afford, and we get the results for free.
That is beneficial to both the US and Australia, and will probably continue, because it is vital to both nations.
But in no way does it obligate Australia to any military action.
If some lunatic President decides to attack or invade some third world nation, and lose yet another war, that has absolutely nothing at all to do
with Australia,
We are not military allies, we just trade intelligence information. There is a vast difference. Canada, New Zealand and Australia quit being a
puppet of the US forty years ago.
No doubt Pine Gap and other US facilities are prime targets if the US becomes involved in a nuclear exchange. That is why none of those secret
facilities are anywhere near the Australian population centres.
America's enemies (now the entire world) are not Australia's enemies.
Americans THINK they still have military allies, and lead in every war, but the reality is, since Britain pulled completely out of Iraq, they now have
absolutely none.
Britain was the last major nation to desert America,
While the NSA and CIA still exchanges intelligence with other intelligence services worldwide,, that has nothing at all to do with any military
obligations to support America, or fight in any of the wars it starts.

Geez, it seems someone still hasn't learnt his lesson.
Not military allies? Nah we aren't military allies, we just have the ANZUS treaty which obligates us to help them if they are attacked and vice
versa. Nah, not military allies, just acquittance's.
We just "trade intelligence"? Because it's that simple is it? The US trades intelligence with non-allies?
LOL you are HILARIOUSLY misguided. 
There is a thing called the Anglo-American alliance/sphere.
It involves obviously the USA, the United Kingdom, but also under the Anglo banner Australia, Canada, and New Zealand.
Once again I repeat for you, you can either accept the fact we are allied to America, or keep living your fantasy world. It seems though you have
chosen fantasy of reality.

Have you ever read the ANZUS treaty ?
All it says is that we will consult each other, there is no obligation for combat on either side.
You still have not presented any evidence that Australia has been at war with anyone in Iraq, or conducted a single combat mission there since
2003.
You still have not given an example of any war at all Australia has been involved in (since Vietnam) that has not been a multinational United Nations
military action.
Condoleza Rice was out here SEVEN TIMES trying to get Australia to back America politically for a pre-emptive military strike against Iran.
Not to actively get involved, just publicly back America.
She was told to piss off seven times.
No, we have had nothing to do with America's nasty little immoral wars that it always loses. At least not for forty years.
Prove me wrong with some evidence.
