Bersama Padu military exercise: Nato's Future SEA Wing?

(Riau Islands - Indonesia) From the Bersama Shield exercise to the Bersama Padu - both in Malay language - it is clear that the Western entities are working hard to bring Malaysia on board the future 'Nato' South East Asia wing to support Nato's expansion as a 'global' military force. The fact that the Military Exercises are named in 'Malay' is indication that the Western generals - with Nato's conscent indeed - are concerned on the ways to drag Malaysia into the picture.

With Malaysia's efforts to be noted by the American administration headed by President Barack Obama, the exercises could not come at a better time for the nation to implement its arm stretching strategy.

According to the Australian Defence Department, the Exercise Bersama Padu (BP10), which means 'together united' in Malay, aims to cultivate regional ties and seeks to enhance Australia's interoperability with the armed forces of Malaysia, Singapore, the United Kingdom and New Zealand.

The exercise allows Five Power Defence Arrangement (FPDA) nations' armies, navies and air forces to exercise the conduct of combined and joint operations at an operational and/or tactical level for the defence of Malaysia and Singapore.

The FPDA was dormant for decades but is currently being re-ignited in order to give a better regional sense to any of Nato's push in the region. Nato's heads have already visited New Zealand and Australia in a bid to re-inforce these nation's confidence in the Western backed global armed forces that is involved in the military offensive against the Taliban in Afghanistan.

Exercise BP10 will be conducted 11 – 29 October, with the live exercise phase conducted 24 – 27 October.

Overall, the exercise will involve more than 3000 personnel, up to 13 ships and 60 aircraft, plus various support elements.

Australian Defence Force assets involved in BP10 include HMA Ships Success, Tobruk, Toowoomba, and Arunta, one Australian Clearance Dive team, eight F/A-18s from No 3 Squadron RAAF Williamtown NSW, one Army platoon from Butterworth and around 60 support staff from across the ADF for the Headquarters.

BP10 is a well planned activity that aims to train and evaluate our capabilities, processes and procedures while minimising any impact on the population and within the exercise area.

BP10 allows the RAAF to test and practise its deployment capabilities so that it can operate away from its home base.

In addition to eight F/A-18 Hornets from No 3 Squadron participating in BP10, a C-17A Globemaster from RAAF Base Amberley in Queensland and a C-130H Hercules from RAAF Base Richmond, New South Wales will provide airborne logistics support (carrying personnel, equipment and stores) for Australian Defence Force units travelling to and from BP10. The C-17A Globemaster and C-130H Hercules will not be participating in the exercise.

Wow, what a poorly researched article. The FPDA bears no similarities to NATO. And as for being dormant, the FPDA has been running Exercises since the 1970's with the Bersama Series running for nearly a decade. Let's not forget also that the FPDA has had a permanent HQ (HQIADS) set up for the 39 years of its existence, all this says “active” not “dormant”.
NATO has no observers involved in Bersama Padu, but ASEAN does.
You have simply taken a Military press release and spliced in completely unrelated nonsense about NATO.
The Australian Navy recently exercised with the Indonesian Navy, is this a sign of a new world order that threatens the Northern Hemisphere? No it is not, but your writer would have us believe that unrelated events are linked.
This is fear mongering at its worst!

Eyes in Sky - This video will really scare you

Watch Video Here

Though we do not really know who took the videos and where it originates, we have the information that it was taken after the Indonesian earthquake in Padang, Riau. If you look patiently at the video, you will see a pair of eyes that is formed in the clouds overlooking a village in Indonesia. It will really shock and scare you!

However, apparently this video was taken a few years ago in Russia. Hence the source is unknown and the location too but it is a very real video, not a graphic picture.
