@FlyingChainSaw: Here’s a little snip of information w/photos from the Federation of American Scientists.

More from FAS:

The largest complex in the system is Pine Gap (Fig. 3), which was completed in 1968, at the time of launch of the first Spook Bird Satellite. At present it has eight antenna systems under radomes of diameter from 2 to 33 meters. It is officially maintained that the facility is under joint use by the US and Australia (the open designation of the Pine Gap facility is the “Joint Defense Establishment for Space Research”). But, according to data in the Western press, the principal information processing tasks are carried out by CIA specialists, and Australian personnel are mostly used in auxiliary work and do not have access to all of the intercepted data. In the technical buildings are located apparatus for controlling the on-board systems of the satellite and preliminary processing of the radio intercept data using IBM and DEC computers. More detailed processing of the data in carried out at NSA and CIA centers in the US. For example, decryption of encoded communications is carried out at Fort Meade (“SIGINT City”) using Cray supercomputers which can carry out several billion operations a second.

@redmanlaw: Most accessible contemporary history of Pine Gap and the kind of information that is intercepted there is in the book about the trial of the two guys who were working at TRW and selling data collected at Pine Gap to the Soviets – The Falcon and the Snowman – but the focus was more about CIA meddling in domestic Australian politics than about all the different satellite systems that downlinked to systems at Pine Gap – which is all covered better in all of Bamfords books like The Puzzle Palace. Best writing about it in terms of how the Americans systematically lie to the Aussies and break their contract to share data with them is covered in writing by Des Ball, a university professor in Australia and author of “Pine Gap”.

@FlyingChainSaw, cheap boy: Isn't that a US American space/intel post in NW Bumfook, Australia? I think that's the one in "The Right Stuff".

@CheapBoy: Damn it, CheapBoy, what's the Pine Gap angle?

@CheapBoy: I was hoping you'd find the local angle for us. Here's the link to the Bomford interview transcript, for those who enjoy Hitchcockian angles. Mr. Bomford, watch out for cropdusters.

@CheapBoy: Doesn't this mean that the folks pushing this at WND are now being assisted by a foreign power? Isn't that, er, treasonous?

Following the old saw “It’s only relevant if there’s a local angle” I bring you Mr Bomford.

He is a South Australian Public servant that does believe in conspiracy theories, such as Roswell.

And we all know there is a “Special Relationship” between Australia and the US. Can we say ANZUS treaty?

If you go Here you will find an audio report featuring Mr. Bomford. Unfortunately, Stinque.com is not mentioned by name.

Please note the ABC is the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (funded by the Government and has no advertising) and is full of Marxists and Homosexuals. So be warned!!!

If the link above does not work. Go to http://www.abc.net.au/pm and search for “Adelaide man caught up in bid to oust Obama”
