PERMANENT US MILITARY PRESENCE IN AUSTRALIA  http://www.setyoufreenews.com/2011/11/15/permanent-us-military-presence-in-australia/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+setyoufreenews+%28Set+You+Free+News%29  After months of assuring a skeptical and disgruntled Australian public that the US military would not be getting a permanent base in Australia, the Sydney Morning Herald has reported a “US Marine Base for Darwin.”US President Barrack Obama is credited with the decision, one overtly declared to be in direct response to the rise of China. Despite Obama getting credit, however, one shadowy “institution” is overly ecstatic over the announcement, and while Australian Defense Minister Stephen Smith attempts to reassure the public thatAustralia will not have “US bases,” this institution’s “news blog” has already declared the decision as potentially the moment “where Australia fundamentally cast its lot in with the US,” vis-a-vis China. This institution is particularly ecstatic because despite the media giving credit to Obama, it was their idea, one they’ve been promoting openly since at least June.The Lowy Institution, which masquerades as an Australian think-tank, is in actuality funded and representative of the global-corporate-financier oligarchy. Described in detail in, “Globalists’ Australian Nexus ,” it was specifically noted as far back as June 2011 that the Lowy Institute was behind a call for establishing US military bases throughout Australia.The Australian specifically named the Lowy Institute as one of the unelected “planners” behind making “the case for US Bases. ''While Lowy’s fake news blog the “Interpreter” claims most Australians should feel content with this announcement, in reality, they should be up in arms over it. A corporate-funded, unelected think-tank is dictating policy to an entire nation, not even for their own best interests but overtly to enhance a foreign corporate oliagrchy in its projection of power throughout Australia’s own backyard.
