The land down under has been rocked by a espionage scandal, after Australia’s top spy made serious accusations against an unnamed former politician.
Head of security for the Australian Security Intelligence Organization (ASIO), Mike Burgess, said that the politician ‘sold out’ Australia to a foreign intelligence service that also remains unnamed for now.
Burgess added that the Australian agency confronted the ‘spy ring’ to let them know their cover had been blown.
ASIO chief said in his annual speech that he had declassified details of the operation, ‘which used professional networking platforms, email and social media to target Australians’.
Reuters reported:
“He did not name the country involved, but said it had also targeted Australia’s defense industry, offering money for reports on the AUKUS partnership with the U.S. and Britain to build nuclear submarines.
He said the foreign agency had ‘successfully cultivated and recruited a former Australian politician’ several years ago. He did not identify the politician, and said the person had not been charged because they were no longer active.
‘This politician sold out their country, party and former colleagues to advance the interests of the foreign regime. At one point, the former politician even proposed bringing a prime minister’s family member into the spies’ orbit’, he said.”
In his speech, Burgess called the foreign spies the “A Team”. They attracted Australians that had national security information ‘by offering them consulting roles’.
Academics and political figures attending an overseas conference were met by ‘spies in disguise’, he said.

China.
I can’t be bribed that way. The Chinese would have to at least buy my two dinners, so I’m not hungry an hour later in order to afford me.
“ China”
Yes, that’s the most obvious, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it was a Hillary/Obama/Biden plot.
I would be satisfied with a rack of lamb with Laphroigh scotch and some Drambui thereafter. Caviar as appetizer would be acceptable but the bill would not.
Australian pikers...hell, we have an entire upper echelon of government that’s sold out the country.
NEAT! So I can rob banks, and not be charged if I stop! I can murder dozens, and not be charged if I stop! COOL!

They finally figured out that Satan runs a spy and influence operation.
