My first impression of him being a lawyer may still be correct, but it seems his passion is to ponder and publish his conspiracy theories on an invites only monthly newsletter : “Behind the Curtin,” - a play on words referencing Australia’s WWII Prime Minister, John Curtin.
I received my first “Behind the Curtin” last night:
McGillvray had more to say about the Schiffer's visit to Sydney and their investment in our natural resources, but more intriguing was his Kevin Rudd conspiracy.
McGillvray believes, as I’m sure many of his followers now do too, that Kevin Rudd’s ousting had little to do with the opinion polls as the popular media has us believe. He was removed from the Prime Ministership because he was shifting the power dynamic of capital flows to and from Australia.
As Rudd made obvious, his connections in China ran deep and he impressed with his Mandarin skills regularly. What we didn’t see though were the strategic positions major Chinese interests were taking in Australia on the back of Kevin Rudd.
The old-guard grew anxious and pressure mounted. Although Julia Gillard and Wayne Swan are by no means averse to Chinese interests, their loyalties lie in the west with the USA and Europe.
McGillvray says the momentum was halted, but the power of China wasn’t riding on Rudd’s coat tails alone. It’s still knocking on the door and his position as Foreign Minister is well lubricating the Sino-Australian trade route.
The truth behind McGillvray's theory will probably never be known, but I'm now included as a subscriber awaiting his next issue.
