      “US diplomatic cables published last year by WikiLeaks disclose the names of leading figures in both main parties, including a future prime minister and foreign minister, as Washington’s informants during the Whitlam years.”

      From the guardian article.

      Is there anything definitive? not really,

      Have either the US or the UK officially admitted anything? no of course not.

      For me there’s enough to draw a conclusion. US and UK both have foreign policy records of ousting foreign governments for more closely aligned alternatives.

        I’m surprised that they let John fucking Pilger write for the Guardian, though I guess this was before the Trump years. Nothing in it is anything but conspiracy dreck.

        The US has enough sins in its history that you don’t need to fucking make more up.
