  Not Good Enough, Barack! posted by barra, 2008-12-02 18:42:24
Obama is the first president to face stark and overwhelming evidence of crimes -- including torture, war crimes and a host of violations relating to various international laws and conventions -- committed by a previous administration. These crimes are not trifling matters and any attempt to avoid dealing with them would forever (historically) stain Obama – a legacy the first black man in the White House ought to be at pains to avoid.

 Star-spangled Rustics posted by dingo, 2008-12-01 22:20:42
The literate world wonders at times what it would take to get a simple message through the American skull; like Obama is a LIAR and a FRAUD more reprehensible than overt criminals Bush and Cheney! (full story)

 Puppet Presidents and Robot Soldiers – only in America! posted by nano, 2008-12-01 09:29:29
In a press release, we are sure the Pentagon and White House will soon regret, America’s genius military technology developers revealed their feeble (insane) attempts to legitimise war with “moral” robots -- for Pete’s sake! America seems to have forgotten that the most immoral activity any society could engage in is WAR! However, that oversight is understandable as the USA is currently the world’s leading genocidal nation -- over one million dead Iraqi civilians testify to the fact! (full story and 1 comments)

Obama’s first problem is US war crimes posted by Andrew Sullivan via reed, 2008-11-30 23:08:22
A small and largely unnoticed spat among the transition planners for the president-elect, Barack Obama, broke out last week. It was the first genuinely passionate debate among the Obamaites and it centres on a terribly difficult and terribly important decision that will be among the first that Obama has to make.

 The SLAUGHTER of INNOCENTS and the rise of Terror posted by gan, 2008-11-28 22:28:04
The Clinton presidency, which is directly responsible for the fragmentation of the Balkans, destabilising African nations -- especially Somalia, Sudan, Congo, Rwanda -- and imposing the now infamous child-killing embargos on pre-invasion Iraq, paved a course for the next (neocon) administration to follow; which it did but with even greater zeal and disregard for international law and convention than the Clinton administration.

CEOs 'cashed out' prior to economic crisis posted by Tom Eley via reed, 2008-11-28 19:14:06
Balzac’s maxim that “behind every great fortune lies a great crime” may yet prove a fitting epitaph for American capitalism. A recent survey by the Wall Street Journal reveals that CEOs at major US financial and real estate firms converted tens of millions of dollars of overvalued stock into cash prior to the eruption of the current financial crisis, even as many of their corporations approached the precipice.

Bones [and Skeletons] posted by John S. Hatch via reed, 2008-11-28 00:54:30
American forces prevented 'military-age' males (roughly 12-65 years old) from leaving the city and then declared a 'free-fire zone' on anyone remaining. They used white phosphorus and thermobaric weapons. They used snipers against unarmed civilians. They killed, and killed, and killed. It was like Poppy's 'Highway of Death', but worse. Congratulations, Junior, you finally outdid the old man. Not even animals were spared. (full story and 1 comments)

 ANZAC legacy tarnished by today’s ADF posted by peptide, 2008-11-27 22:03:46
I hoped I would never be required to confront the reality of Australian military forces consciously engaging in criminal assassinations -- methods usually associated with Israel’s IDF and the American mass murdering military. However, ABC journalists have recently uncovered the sordid activities of today’s (Howard’s and Rudd’s) ADF. And what a tragic day it is for Australia and its once proud and honourable defence force.

 Google's next step towards domination of the Information Age posted by Nicholas Pullen via quill, 2008-11-27 19:46:34
[Numerous posts to this site (input google in search box) warned very early of Google's intention to monopolise ALL available data. The mass media has as usual been extremely sluggish in reporting real threats to our democracies and freedoms. However, perhaps from fear of its own future relevance, if Google succeeds with its plans, the mass media now reports on the Corporation that is without doubt the greatest threat to free thought and liberty in the world today.

The Hopelessness of ‘Change’ posted by Kingfisher, 2008-11-26 22:26:35
It should now be clear to all that Obama is a FRAUD – it’s full speed ahead for the status quo; it hasn’t missed a beat! The hope of the people has been dashed against the megalith of American power; a monster that prevails against any single politician (JFK) or group that opposes it – notwithstanding that nothing is able to prevail against the PEOPLE!

Insider bankster Paulson to throw another $1.2 Trillion at FAILED financial system posted by yarra, 2008-11-25 23:32:20
The US is clearly bankrupt; however, the same pathology that denies the civilian death toll in Iraq (one million innocent souls) also denies the REALITY that the economy and financial system are DEAD, and have been for some time. It is time for all Americans to apply another delusional, mythic, remedy to the real economy – RESURRECTION! [Laughing out loud!] Give it your best shot you SICK, pathological DENIERS. Ask Jesus fucking Christ to ‘bail’ you out, you mindless morons! You would quickly learn that no MAN MADE ‘GOD’ or MYTH is able to affect even a single hair on the head of the most ardent delusionist/religionist/fantacist – you vacuum-headed imbeciles!

 U.S. Pledges Top $7.7 Trillion to Ease Frozen Credit posted by Mark Pittman and Bob Ivry via gan, 2008-11-25 09:21:10
The U.S. government is prepared to provide more than $7.76 trillion on behalf of American taxpayers after guaranteeing $306 billion of Citigroup Inc. debt yesterday. The pledges, amounting to half the value of everything produced in the nation last year, are intended to rescue the financial system after the credit markets seized up 15 months ago. (full story)

 APEC dunderheads suitably attired! posted by budgie, 2008-11-23 20:26:38
Leaders of the Asia-Pacific Economic ‘Co-operative’ traditionally finalise their gathering by donning the national dress of the host nation. This year was no exception; however, in a bid to humble or portray leaders as they really are – PUPPETS and potato-heads – a very astute ‘designer’ dressed the ‘world leaders’ in potato-sack ponchos – and what a sight it made! The narcissist clowns presented to the public as leaders (chunder) have been accurately rendered as potato-head puppets to the Corporations and Big business. We thank you Peru for demonstrating to the world the real calibre of our ‘leaders’ – what a fuckin’ joke! (full story)

 The Irony of America’s New World Order .. posted by finch, 2008-11-22 20:47:42
is that America will more than likely be relegated to the background. The loci of power are inexorably moving EAST; and there is nothing outside a full-scale nuclear conflict that could alter that course – world leaders beware! Americans are proven mass murderers, as the civilian holocaust in Iraq clearly indicates! (full story and 2 comments)

 The Stillborn Presidency posted by budgie, 2008-11-20 22:21:18
The world is about to witness a political first – a stillborn presidency! Obama, by selling out on almost every promise and ‘position’ he had taken prior to revealing his marionette status, has earned the wrath of the people. (full story and 1 comments)
