The Old Blog in the Desert

A listing of a quarter-million Communist Chinese Party members has been made available by the dissident group, the Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China. Of those 250,000 names, allegedly 52,000 are Americans, 35,000 Australians, 10,000 Indian, 9,700 British, 5,000 Canadians, 2,100 Indonesians, 1,400 Malaysia, 793 New Zealanders and 138 Papua New Guinea.

So far, these are the Anglo-names found and all are prominent Australians:

Millionaires Mike Cannon-Brookes, Scott Farquhar, David Gonski, Jennifer Westacott, Victorian Supreme Court Judge Anthony Cavanough, retired Navy Admiral and former Lockheed Martin chief executive Raydon Gates, former ambassador to China Geoff Raby, ex-Tasmanian Premier Tony Rundle, former foreign minister Bob Carr, singer Natalie Imbruglia, One Nation co-founder David Oldfield, National Party President Larry Anthony, former treasurer Peter Costello’s son Sebastian, ex-Labor MP Emma Husar, News Corp journalist Ellen Whinnett, ABC director Georgie Somerset, self-proclaimed sheikh Junaid Thorne, accountant and fraudster Robert Andrew Kirsopp and deceased ex-TEAC boss Gavin Muir.

Here’s a partial list of infiltrated companies:

Boeing, Volkswagen, Pfizer, AstraZeneca, ANZ Bank, HSBC Rolls-Royce, Boeing, Airbus, French defense contractor Thales, Standard Chartered, Jaguar Land Rover, Cosco, KPMG, Ernst & Young, GlaxoSmithKline, Citibank, QualComm, BNP Paribas, Hewlett-Packard, Mitsubishi, Siemens, Ikea, Mercedes-Benz, and Bank of America.

Don’t be surprised if the names of a couple of prominent Nevadan’s turn up on the list when it hits the Internet.
