The Gap

The Joint Defense Facility in ‘Pine Gap’, Alice Springs, Australia is the potential satellite tracking station known to operate secret operations. A product of the collaboration between the US and the Australian government, this Defence Space Research Facility centre has attracted the attention and rumors of the locals due to its covert functions. The main purpose of this CIA-operated centre is said to track on telemetry data and communications transmissions like emails and phone calls.

Pine Gap is speculated to serve a number of miscellaneous functions, which may have something to do with international power conspiracies. Pine Gap has a restricted admittance to its grounds and most of its 800 working personnel belong to the CIA and the National Security Agency. It is counted among the largest ECHELON ground stations of the earth that monitors military satellite operations. Different diplomats offer different views about the actual mission of Pine Gap operation centre.

A few years ago in 1999, the Australian Government’s intelligence expert Professor Des Ball laid down the extension plan for Pine Gap. According to him, this intelligence station was to serve as the ground control and processing station for geosynchronous satellites. It was meant to receive telemetry data from advanced weapons like ballistic missile, signals from anti-aircraft radars and anti-missile and microwave emissions like long distance phone calls.

The Australian Minister for Defence, Brendan Nelson has another account to offer about Pine Gap’s functioning. He says that the objective behind monitoring and satellite signals is to spy for security reasons and maneuvering US missile defence system. He views Pine Gap as a major milestone in the mutual relationship between Australia and the US and a step towards concretizing Australia’s security in the years to come.

However, the two principal roles outlined by Brendan Nelson for The Joint Defense Facility at Pine Gap matched with what Professor Ball had to say. The collection of intelligence through advanced technical monitoring and the provision of early information on the event of the launching of a ballistic missile were considered by both as the fundamental aspects. The Minister supported the role of Pine Gap as a global peace cushion against sudden nuclear explosions and short-range missile attacks.

Yet, the fact remains that people continue to look upon Pine Gap and its activities with sinister suspicion. Why else did the Australian government try to keep it under wraps since its inception in 1966 right up to 1999? Some suspect that Pine gap had a major hand in the military satellite operations during the war in Afghanistan. There are a whole lot of ideas suggested by people world over that serve to mystify the existence and working of The Joint Defense Facility at Pine Gap.

Pine Gap is speculated to have the deepest drilling hole of Australia that could extend up to 5 miles. This hole possibly acts as an underground antenna using ELF broadcasts for recharging the submarine batteries doing the rounds of the Pacific and Indian Ocean. It is imagined that such powerful antennas could be capable of generating huge stationary wave across the earth.

Some others say that Pine Gap could possibly house a gigantic nuclear generator for supplying energy to a modified transceiver. Who knows! But it could also have a powerful plasma accelerator that could act as a plasma gun for transmitting death-rays as you see in animated science fiction movies today. Many Australians living close by have spotted 30′-diameter white disks supplied here by US cargo planes bearing the USAF emblem.

Pine Gap can possibly be a multi-storied city with storehouse for computers, furniture and food stock. Some inquisitive researchers have found eerie links between these seemingly emergency provisions of Pine Gap with clandestine operations going on world over. Rumors about a political, financial and religious elitist group called ‘Club of Rome’ is said to plan an institution of world dictatorship.

The entire signal monitoring activity of Pine Gap could have to do with keeping an eye over all the banks, post offices, customs houses, telephone exchanges and police stations to gather information on private citizens like you and me. Situated in a peaceful English-speaking nation like Australia, Pine Gap is doubly advantaged to enjoy becoming the abode for a future dictatorial regime that could have 15 chosen families at its heart for running it.

The fearful factor about such discoveries is that these 15 families already dominate world economy and international finance. The rest of the nations are expected to submit to their demands and work up a mutual treaty. The current global economic crisis could be a step towards the systematic economic destabilization that will mark these internationalists’ systematic rise to power.

If a global protest breaks out against such designs, Pine Gap could serve as an excellent hideout for these dictators. If not, it could emerge as the seat for a new brand of ‘Golden Age’, a sort of compromised ‘peace’ Any protestor will be executed outright. Rumors are rife that bases like Pine Gap are active in the American mainland and are working towards a unitary goal of global dictatorship.
