  Is Lucifer a racist? Go South young man, go South! posted by Chris McGreal via krill, 2009-07-04 23:11:27
Occasionally, I shake hands with a Mason and detect that tell-tale grip, thumb on first ‘fuck-knuckle;’ I choose not to respond though I could. Boaz! And for all those racists ‘on the square’ this piece is dedicated to a failing quasi-Jewish, Lucifer-honouring, not so secret, organisation that once ruled most of the world. Today it is a shadow of its former self; however, it struggles to maintain some of those ol’ fashion racist and elitist values. Ed. (full story)

 Pakistanis Reject U.S. 'Aid' Flights posted by Jeremy Scahill via quill, 2009-07-04 10:47:18
Damn those ungrateful Pakistanis. After U.S. drone attacks killed more than 600 of their people since 2006—most of them civilians—it seems they think they have some right to say they don’t want the U.S. flying its “aid” planes to Swat and other “tribal areas.” The New York Times reports that “the Pakistani authorities have refused to allow American workers or planes to distribute the aid in the camps for displaced people.” The paper reports: (full story and 1 comments)

Gender Predispositions and Social Change posted by talya, 2009-07-04 02:36:15
I was awe-struck by a story on the Oz ABC recently – which barely got a run internationally – describing, by inference, the horrendous social obstacles women face in Afghanistan. However, in order to gain a real perspective on the subject we need to amplify those horrendous conditions ten-fold and then marvel at the remarkable bravery of one lone Afghani woman and member of a corrupt, servile, misogynistic all male Afghani Parliament. The challenges this woman faces daily are rape, assault and assassination; contrast with western domestic ‘crises’ like a faulty vacuum-cleaner or toaster! (full story)

 Where is Bin Laden? posted by Washington's Blog via fleet, 2009-07-03 09:49:00
Everyone is appropriately outraged that the former head of the CIA unit which hunted Bin Laden for almost a decade - Michael Scheur - told Glenn Beck:
The only chance we have as a country right now is for Osama bin Laden to deploy and detonate a major weapon in the United States

 Newsprint; ‘we’re going well,’ says Murdoch man, Hartigan posted by quill, 2009-07-02 01:32:04
This past week in Oz could easily be described as surreal. Based on a fraudulent email, the opposition leader, Malcolm Turnbull, launched an exceedingly amateurish, overconfident, FAILED attack on Prime Minister Kevin Rudd and Treasurer Wayne Swan -- your longing exceeds your ability, NOVICE!

 Madoff, aberration or business as usual? posted by finn, 2009-06-30 11:50:05
An absurd sentence of 150 years was handed down yesterday to a man with less than 20 years to live; the sentence was intended to demonstrate how a completely corrupt (Bush/Obama) U.S. legal system pretends to serve the people of the USA.
New York Judge, Denny Chin, ‘spiced’ his sentence delivery with emotive accusations like, "extraordinarily evil" and “staggering human toll!” However, no amount of judicial indignation could compensate for the FAILURE of a DYSFUNCTIONAL ECONOMIC SYSTEM that allowed a fraud of monumental proportions to occur over a 20 year period! The jailing of one old Jewish fart hardly satisfies victims of a Banking and Financial system designed to enslave the masses and concentrate enormous wealth in the fewest possible hands!

 Cyber warfare: a real world [Iran] demonstration posted by peptide, 2009-06-28 04:27:24
We announced the death of laissez-faire capitalism when that system ingloriously failed – yes, Virginia, regardless of how they dress up the free market corpse, it’s DEAD! So too we must join the voices heralding the success (and failures) of the first REAL cyber war, the one currently being waged in IRAN -- for the benefit of those that live in wombat burrows!

Home of the Lobbyist, Land of the Corporation posted by talya, 2009-06-23 21:44:57
Large Transnationals and other Corporations have ruled western democracies for decades. Amounts spent Lobbying major political parties by the world's largest Corporations are listed below and what a revealing picture these lists make!
The bottom line; western democracies have been PURCHASED by interests that only have one over-riding, driving principle, PROFIT -- at any cost to YOU or the Environment!
'Government of the Corporations by the Corporations FOR the Corporations' -- that is the hard, cruel REALITY of today, sheeple! (full story)
