Just heard some dude on Breakfast news saying NZ's local civil defence response to the tsunami warning was very poor, scoring it just a C-. Hmm I thought, was does that mean? Is that a lead-in to something as is so usual on Mind-Programme Central, or TV for those who've only just got up this morning. So did a quick check on the "filthy rag" website and saw this, first I'd heard of it -
Chiefs launch Anzac rapid reaction force 4:00AM Thursday Oct 01, 2009
By Greg Ansley
CANBERRA - New Zealand and Australia will form a joint Anzac rapid reaction force whose duties will include future disasters such as the Samoan tsunami, the two countries' defence ministers said yesterday.
New joint contingency plans for regional emergencies will also be drawn up over the next six months.
And New Zealand Defence Ministry principal adviser Dr Jim Rolfe will in November become deputy director of the Asia Pacific Civil Military Centre of Excellence.
The centre, near Canberra, supports the development of civilian and military capabilities to deal with foreign disasters and conflicts.
The Anzac rapid reaction force, which will regularly train and exercise together, will also be deployed at short notice to other crises, and will involve a revamped airlift agreement to create a more efficient transport capability between the two air forces.
The formation of the new force was confirmed in Sydney yesterday by Defence Minister Wayne Mapp and Australian counterpart Senator John Faulkner as the two countries began what Australian parliamentary secretary for international assistance Bob McMullan described as a co-ordinated effort in Samoa.
The unit builds on historic ties and recent operations in the Pacific.
Military planners want to make greater use of each others' equipment and capabilities, especially in transport and logistics.
The two countries are already linked through the 1991 closer defence relations agreement, share similar equipment such as infantry weapons, armoured vehicles and the Anzac frigates, and have used each others' naval support vessels and transport aircraft.
The new moves to give the Anzac spirit greater contemporary relevance across the spectrum of the two defence organisations was a priority for both nations, Mapp and Faulkner said.
As well as revamping the existing airlift agreement between the two air forces, which has already seen the Australians use RNZAF Hercules and B-757 transport and New Zealand equipment flown on RAAF C-17 Globemasters, transtasman information communication technology will be improved.
Mapp and Faulkner said the planned boost to regional security capabilities reaffirmed New Zealand's and Australia's commitment to Pacific states, including a continued presence in East Timor and Solomon Islands.
Methinks we'll probably see a few little "closer ties" things starting to happen from now on, especially militarily. We already had news very recently about the "inevitability" of a shared monetary system/economy not only with Australia but on a wider regional scale...

So looks like this may be the start of the formation of the Asia Pacific Region military structure as noted by the title "Asia Pacific Civil Military Centre of Excellence" and the fact that "The centre, near Canberra, supports the development of civilian and military capabilities to deal with foreign disasters and conflicts."
So VERY QUICK on the heels of the tsunami! Obviously it's just what they needed for the announcement! Interesting...

Google PACER. They have been working furiously to get the framework for the Asia Pacific Union built in the last year or so. PACER was the real reason John Key had his big trip around the Pacific Islands a few months back. There was barely a mention of it in the corrupt mainstream media.
I agree that this disaster is just what they have been waiting for to make this announcement. The NWO is here to help you know, anyone saying otherwise is an evil doer and terrorist.
Cheers smashdracs. Yes, there had to be a reason why Key and Rudd get on sooo very well! Next thing you know there'll be a high speed magnetically levitating high speed train that crosses the ditch in 30 minutes in a tunnel from Pine Gap to the Beehive!!! Oh darn, i probably just gave them a "good idea!"
