  How to Fuck a Platypus posted by dingo, 2009-08-02 03:54:15
Do not be misled by the title, this is a story of universal significance not some perverse rant from a parochial Australian xenophobe with a penchant for bestiality. (full story)

 Racist American colony, Australia, takes another battering from BRIC posted by dasha, 2009-08-01 01:17:24
The cowardly, obedient, flea nation of the South Pacific and its shameless, servile ‘leadership’ are currently being taught a lesson not soon to be forgotten. Russia has joined its allies, India and China, in their moral, political and economic attacks on the Rudd ‘custard’ government by banning the importation of all kangaroo meat into Russia. This ban, which severely impacts Australia on a number of fronts, is too well timed to be accidental or coincidental. (full story and 1 comments)

 Brief History of the Shortest Lived Empire on Record, Pt. 1 posted by Andrew Gavin Marshall via quin, 2009-07-31 09:53:51
Introduction
“And it’s come to this;” are reputed to be the last words uttered by notorious Australian bushranger Ned Kelly before he was hanged. Today those fateful words apply to a bandit nation that chose, like Kelly, to live the hard, fast, short life of a rogue and bandit. (full story and 7 comments)

 Skype, the uncrackable peer communicator posted by Chris Williams via Kismo, 2009-07-31 05:31:30
"For years now a steady stream of reports and whispers have emerged that despite their batteries of supercomputers, intelligence agencies are frustrated by Skype's anonymity and strong encryption. Its base in Estonia also means the firm is out of the reach of the US lawful intercept laws and UK export legislation, which forces any firm supplying encryption technology to show GCHQ the backdoor."

Oz Intelligence chiefs, a matter of shuffling Bureaucrats posted by finch, 2009-07-29 12:49:21
David Irvine, the ‘new’ head of ASIO pulled his head out of his bureaucratic arse today just long enough to put his foot in his mouth! ‘Fresh’ from his post as ASIS chief, he has already displayed the calibre that locals have come to expect from their, “well planned event,” (Keelty) brain dead, security chiefs!

 The POWER is/in the ART and in those that produce it! posted by quill, 2009-07-29 01:44:09
Underrated for too long, Aussie artist (actress) Toni ‘awesome’ Collette, recently accepted a challenging role for a TV series in the, bereft of talent, criminal USA. Collette plays four (five if you count Toni) characters emanating from ONE character suffering multiple personality disorder, a condition not unfamiliar to the paralysed, sedated masses! (full story)

 KOSOVO: US terrorist ally continues persecution of ethnic minorities posted by Lee Jay Walker via dusan, 2009-07-26 00:44:13
The former Yugoslavia was engulfed in many conflicts, ethnic and religious differences tore away at the fabric of this nation. Like all wars, atrocities took place on all sides but the mass media chose to focus on Serbian atrocities while neglecting brutal crimes committed against the Serbian community. This certainly applies to the numerous war crimes committed by the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA). (full story and 1 comments)

The End of the World as we know it! posted by quin, 2009-07-24 22:49:04
At the most critical period of our very short history, instead of recovery, WE ARE CHARGING FULL SPEED TO OUR COLLECTIVE DESTRUCTION; it seems this (insane) pursuit is the best we can manage in the current circumstances – how utterly tragic!
WE need not have taken this course but the Cheney's, Obama's and all the other puppet ‘leaders,’ installed by Corporate/Bankster ruling minorities, have DECIDED FOR US; so WE, in ALL OUR COLLECTIVE 'WISDOM' AND limitless COMPLACENCY, allowed ourselves to be herded BY SELF-CONFESSED CRIMINALS, PSYCHOPATHS and ROGUES, baa’aa – give me a break!

  Obama: More Polished Than the Last Puppet posted by Cindy Sheehan via rialator, 2009-07-22 22:14:13
Okay, so the United States of America has had a new puppet regime for six months now. I was never so much into giving Obama a “chance” and I think it’s way past time to call Obama and his supporters out, like we called Bush and his supporters out. Our Presidents are merely puppets for the Robber Class and Obama is no exception. (full story)

Competence and good governance are required Mr Rudd, NOT more Laws! posted by Kingfisher, 2009-07-22 01:10:35
Faced with Real issues, Rio Tinto exec arrest, Balibo justice, water polluting Uranium/BHP mining etc, the show pony PM of Australia, Kevin ‘photo shoot’ Rudd, opts for diversion – creating more laws -- rather than addressing and dealing with problems head-on! It’s a matter of COMPETENCE, the principal quality lacking in Oz government today! (full story and 1 comments)

In an Impotent World even Criminal Aggression is Tolerated posted by Paul Craig Roberts via reed, 2009-07-21 00:24:02
"The Russians and Chinese are off balance because of successful American interventions in their spheres of influence, uncertain of the threat and the response. Russia could have prevented the coming attack on Iran, but, pressured by Washington, Russia has not delivered the missile systems that Iran purchased. China suffers from her own hubris as a rising economic power, and is about to lose her energy investments in Iran to US/Israeli aggression. China is funding America’s wars of aggression with loans, and Russia is even helping the US to set up a puppet state in Afghanistan, thus opening up former Soviet central Asia to US hegemony.

 [Oz] TASER Police torch Aboriginal victim! posted by pidge, 2009-07-20 22:23:35
The latest incident of INAPPROPRIATE Taser use in Australia follows only weeks after ‘Taser happy’ Police MURDERED a man in Queensland! Not to be outdone by their interstate rivals, WA Police set an Aboriginal man on fire (beat that Queensland) after ‘eager to play with their new toy,’ WA police INAPPROPRIATELY deployed the LETHAL weapon in circumstances that CLEARLY should have prevented its use! The unfortunate man set alight by police was a habitual petrol sniffer and should have been restrained using traditional methods, but we all know what kids and POLICE are like with new LETHAL toys!

CIA claims of cancelled assassination campaign are hogwash! posted by Eric Margolis via reed, 2009-07-20 08:09:50
CIA director Leon Panetta just told Congress he cancelled a secret operation to assassinate al-Qaida leaders. The CIA campaign, authorized in 2001, had not yet become operational, claimed Panetta. I respect Panetta, but his claim is humbug. The U.S. has been trying to kill al-Qaida personnel (real and imagined) since the Clinton administration. These efforts continue under President Barack Obama. Claims by Congress it was never informed are hogwash. (full story)

Hillary Clinton pandering to CFR fogies in DENIAL posted by baz, 2009-07-19 10:25:31
Hillary’s recent address to the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), a group primarily comprised of white-haired geriatrics pining for the good ol’ days, confirmed that regardless of whoever inhabits the White House, status quo policies continue without interference from puppet politicians! It’s business as usual for the mass murdering, plundering, rapacious, USA and the Corporatists that run it! (full story)
