So, China has just opened its 5th new base station in Antarctica - February 2024 - and its huge.
The station is called Qinling, and is part of China's 'Strategic Frontiers' program.
Built in the shape of 'The Southern Cross' - it can stay open all year long - instead of being just a seasonal outpost.

Quote: ... it is believed to include an observatory with a satellite ground station and its purpose is to enhance “humanity’s scientific knowledge of Antarctica”, China’s Foreign Ministry has said.
Despite the insistence that the base has no military function and will “promote peace and sustainable development”, its construction was overseen by the Central Military Commission.' - end quote.

The article goes on to say...
“While the station can provide tracking and communications for China’s growing array of scientific polar observation satellites, its equipment can concurrently be used for intercepting other nations’ satellite communications,” it said.

It is also believed...
"... China’s long-term goal is to cement a foothold in Antarctica to sway the continent’s governance."
"Beijing views Antarctica as part of its “strategic frontiers”, he added, describing the base as perfectly positioned to collect “signals intelligence” over Australia and New Zealand."

Australian National University’s National Security College said...
"China had a “remarkable ability” to plan for the long term.
“So, they may not be looking to utilise this research station for anything other than collaborative international research for the next 20 years,” Dr Buchanan told the ABC.
“And then all of a sudden, it’s a staging platform … to strike, to facilitate war if that day ever came.”

I remember seeing an Earth Files program (by Lynda Moulten Howe) speaking to a Military (still working employee) whistleblower, not all that many years ago, about the huge amount of Chinese personnel coming down to the Antarctic region - and how many Chinese vessels were in the waters.

2024 ANTARTCTICA –
February 2024

In May & November of 2023, Iran made claim to Antarctica and vowed to build a Military and Scientific base there.
The issue is that there is a treaty – and they’re not on it.
And then there’s the other Treaty – between the German Antarcticans and the Cabal.
Antarctica is being claimed by proxy association –
China has an increasing presence and growing – Russia already has explorations at Vostok Station Base. Europe is increasing its
Things are moving in Antarctica.
The treaty is up against those countries who have no interest in the Treaty and dismiss it and its boundaries.

Anthropologist Robert Sepher also gives an outline of the factors for consideration regarding Irans claim to Antarctica, in his video Antarctica Disclosure - ROBERT SEPEHR – Youtube (below). He also looks at the Dark Government, Advanced and Exotic Technology by German Antarcrtican’s, the Mars connection, the weaponry, and strategic plans and partnerships.

Just of note also – there have been a few Cruise and Travel expeditions that have cancelled their dockings at the South Pole from the end of last year and is ongoing. Some liners have already departed the main port, with Antarctica on the itinerary, but mid Cruise, passengers are advised that they won ‘t be stopping in Antarctica at all.

Antarctica Disclosure - ROBERT SEPEHR

.
This would be something to keep an eye on.
I think that the amount of chaos happening with actual and threatening war, has taken our eyes off other things happening in other areas on the globe.
A Diversion in progress – eyes in the opposite direction – and many distractions.

Of course there is also the Antarctic Nazi High Jump Remote Viewing Projects here in the Browse section as well, for further context.

Well, maybe if the BBQ options were more extensive, there would be more Australians there.

Penguin just isn't going to cut it for very long.
