ABC Four Corners report: "In Washington the US State Department was taking great interest in the political machinations in Australia. For at least a year, they had been receiving information on internal politics of the ALP from a number of the coup plotters. US Embassy Cables revealed by WikiLeaks quoted one of the plotters telling an embassy officer that Gillard was "campaigning for the leadership". Now the Americans got word that a covert plot to topple the PM was gathering momentum. They called in the Australian Ambassador. Four Corners has learned that about two weeks before the eventual coup, Ambassador Kim Beazley was driven the few blocks to the State Department for a meeting with US Secretary of State Hilary Clinton. Four Corners has been told that Clinton wanted to know what was happening in Australia, and sought assurances that the relationship between the two nations would not change under a new leadership. What Beazley knew or told his US hosts is not known, but it seems they were better informed than most Government MPs, who were unaware that Rudd's enemies were circling for the kill."

This ABC Four Corners program partly reveals the involvement of the US and of largely foreign-owned Mining companies in the June 2010 Coup that toppled democratically elected Australian PM Kevin Rudd - what the Zionist-infested, taxpayer-funded ABC does not reveal is the extreme pro-Zionist leanings of most of the key Coup plotters, a "secret" kept under wraps by the rest if the pro-Zionist oligopoly Mainstream media in Australia.

Thus on 10 February 2012 The Age newspaper, Melbourne, , on-line version published an article by its political editor Michele Grattan about the continuing ex-PM Rudd versus PM Julia Gillard affair and entitled “The waiting game goes on” (see: http://www.theage.com.au/opinion/politics/the-waiting-game-goes-on-20120209-1rwhc.html ) . However The Age completely censored my following non-anonymous submitted comment on the article, presumably on the basis that it contains material The Age does not want its readers to read, know or think about:

“There is much more to the Rudd resurrection than just the fortunes of the neocon Australian Labor Party (Another Liberal Party, an Alternative Liberal Party) - it gives decent patriotic Australians an opportunity to decide whether Australia is for Australians or is simply a plaything of (1) the Mining lobby , (2) the Americans and/or (3) the Zionist Lobby.

1. It was reported by the Australian Electoral Commission and thence The Age that the campaign by the mostly foreign-owned Mining Industry that ousted PM Kevin Rudd and almost removed Labor from office had cost a mere $23 million.

2. Outstanding expatriate Australian writer John Pilger reports in the latest Green Left Weekly ("Threat to Assange a threat to us all") that "WikiLeaks has given Australians a rare glimpse of how their country is run. In 2010 leaked US cables disclosed that key government figures in the Labor Party coup that brought Julia Gillard to power were "protected" sources of the US embassy: what the CIA calls "assets". Kevin Rudd, the prime minister she ousted, had displeased Washington by being disobedient..."

3. Outstanding, anti-racist Jewish Australian writer Antony Loewenstein in an article "Does the Zionist Lobby have blood on its hands in Australia?" details the extreme pro-Zionist stance of the coup plotters.”
