An Australian Prime minister who tried to tread an independent path and rein in the nascent SDS. Ousted in 1975 by a CIA backed coup.

Gough Whitlam was an Australian politician. His independence from the (then emerging) Supranational Deep state caused them to organise a covert coup that removed him from office in 1975. The US deep state was involved, and possibly also Le Cercle.

Career

Whitlam became Prime Minister of Australia on 5 December 1972 and quickly began a series of reforms which distanced Australia from UK, its former colonial master, and from USA. Some of his ministers publicly condemned the American’s indiscriminate bombing of towns, civilian targets and dense population centres as corrupt and barbaric. Whitlam also expressed his unhappiness about the Pine Gap spy station in the middle of Australia, spying on everyone including civilians, government and military.

Gough Whitlam shut down the ASIS operation in Chile in April 1973, five months before the 1973 Chilean coup d'etat, reportedly out of concern that if the public became aware of it, “he would find it extremely difficult to justify our presence there.”

Jewish blackmail

In a 1973 press conference, Whitlam revealed a blackmail attempt. He did not disclose who was the direct target, or what the blackmail material was.

Q: You have a reference to Australia's role in the Security Council of the United Nations during the 1973 Middle East War, and you say there that Laurence McIntyre was president of the Security Council when the war broke out and you say that political pressure and even blackmail was brought to brought to bear on you and your government but despite that you gave him every support. What was the blackmail, how was it exercised, and who was responsible for it?
Gough Whitlam: The blackmail was exercised by some heroes in the Australian Jewish community on the other side of the world from the hostilities, that we should support Israel in the the dispute between Israel and its neighbors. And of course my government at least pursued the expressed policy of all Australian governments, to be neutral in those disputes and to take all steps available to Australia in resolving those disputes. It would have been an appalling thing for us to come down on the side of on one side at the time that an Australian was in the key position of president of the Security Council

Removal

The "Whitlam Problem" was considered such a threat to US hegemony and control over Australia that they dispatched their problem solver of the moment, ‘Coup Master’ Marshall Green, to Canberra as Ambassador.

The deep political milieu, Le Cercle, has been accused of destabilizing Gough Whitlam's government because it opposed a conservative economic agenda.
