Answar 1: (U) Mr. Scott Large, NRO Director, in consultation with the DNI, made the decision to declassify the locations of our mission ground stations as a strategic move in keeping with our need to provide on-demand surveillance for real-time engagement by policy and military decision makers. The intent is to ensure that the NRO can fully support the new technical and policy initiatives developed across the Department of Defense (000) and the Intelligence Community (IC). (U) The NRO has taken great strides this year to transform the organization so that it is best aligned to improve acquisitions and deliver improved intelligence data access, content, and timeliness. Question 2: (U) What is Being Declassified? (S//REL) Acknowledgement of NRO domestic Mission Ground Stations (MGSs) and overseas NRO presence begins on 15 October 2008.

  • INDEPENDENT and PEACEFUL AUSTRALIA NETWORK (IPAN) Oct 2016
    Quaker Peace & Legislation Committee WATCHING BRIEF WB 16-8: INDEPENDENT AND PEACEFUL AUSTRALIA NETWORK (IPAN) Oct 2016 As Quakers we seek a world without war. We seek a sustainable and just community. We have a vision of an Australia that upholds human rights and builds peace internationally, with particular focus on our region. In our approach to government we will promote the importance of dialogue, of listening and of seeking that of God in every person. We aim to work for justice and to take away the occasion for war. This Brief provides a summary of IPAN’s aims and activities. Quakers are affiliated to IPAN through QPLC. Recently IPAN held its annual meeting in Alice Springs NT in conjunction with a protest gathering at Pine Gap Base to mark its 50th anniversary. Background IPAN has emerged from the wider peace movement and, according to its website – www.ipan.org.au – is “a network of organisations from all regions of Australia who are united by our support for an independent Australian foreign policy based on peaceful resolution of conflict”. At its first AGM, held in July 2015 and attended by 40 groups, a Brisbane Declaration affirmed: Australia urgently needs an independent foreign policy that de-escalates regional tensions. Australia’s alliance with the USA should be re-assessed in view of US adventurism and drawing Australia into its strategic plans. The US ‘pivot’ to Asia/Pacific increases the likelihood of war. The Australian Government unfettered level of military spending is to be deplored. We will build links with peace movements in our region.

    Recruited by the Illuminati, Stan Deyo was taken secretly to Australia in 1971 to design "flying saucer" propulsion systems with them.

Many have investigated this huge conspiracy from the outside looking in - BUT, only one has come forward from an insider's perspective.

Moving steadily south-east and with winds of up to 160 km/hr, the season’s first cyclone dumped up to two metres of rain on some regional centres (including Cairns) and rural areas over the following week. After noting early reports of the damage (estimated to be over $10 million in flood and agricultural damage combined), the Government promptly declared parts of the region a Natural Disaster Area. [Dec. 29793, Sub. 26550, 9 Jan; Dec. 29796, 9 Jan.; see reports in the Courier-Mail, 2 Jan., p. 1; 8 Jan., p. 3; 9 Jan., p. 3] One week later, Cabinet endorsed a submission by the Minister for Primary Industries, Vic Sullivan, that joint State/Federal Natural Disaster Assistance Arrangements be enacted, whereby low-interest loans were offered to primary producers adversely affected by the loss of crops and livestock (although Cabinet preferred a 7% interest rate on loans rather than the 3% recommended by the Minister).
