  Unprecedented fungal threats to ecosystem, health and food supply posted by research report via gan, 2012-04-14 10:43:24
"The past two decades have seen an increasing number of virulent infectious diseases in natural populations and managed landscapes. In both animals and plants, an unprecedented number of fungal and fungal-like diseases have recently caused some of the most severe die-offs and extinctions ever witnessed in wild species, and are jeopardizing food security. Human activity is intensifying fungal disease dispersal by modifying natural environments and thus creating new opportunities for evolution. We argue that nascent fungal infections will cause increasing attrition of biodiversity, with wider implications for human and ecosystem health, unless steps are taken to tighten biosecurity worldwide." -- Nature (full story)

 Eunuch Oz Treasurer Wayne Swan Squeals at Banks posted by grip, 2012-04-13 23:44:46
Wayne Swan, the impotent Labor Party Treasurer of Australia seems to be having some difficulty with the Big Banks yet again. He seems to have forgotten he is the representative of the people and has a mandate to regulate the banks whenever necessary -- it was Labor PM, Paul 'fingers' Keating, who deregulated the banking sector and allowed banks to rapidly increase (via parasitic fees) their wealth which they have NOT distributed fairly throughout the community. Unfair services fees, which Keating gifted banks, are nothing short of THEFT. (full story)

 Oz Greens Leader 'Retires' posted by trev, 2012-04-12 23:18:16
Australian Greens leader, Bob 'poop pusher' Brown, who helped saddle the Australian people with a crucifying Carbon Tax for Wall Street Bankers, has suddenly retired from active political life. Brown, an infamous homosexual (a la Obama) and nefarious ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT supporter, is on record for (pathologically) mentioning his mother during parliamentary debates, for Christ's sake! Brown has either been pushed or has jumped ship. He and fellow Washington lackey Labor leader Juliar 'five US bases' Gillard, have become the focus of national loathing for serving foreign interests rather than the Australian people. The writing was on the wall! (full story)

 Radiation, irregular sleep patterns and Diabetes posted by staff report via dock, 2012-04-11 23:17:37
Humans have become disconnected to the normal rhythms of life due principally to the 'soup' of electro-magnetic and other radiation bombarding them on a daily basis. Mobile phones, digital appliances, media screens etc, all 'flickering'/pumping out harmful radiation; every medium oscillates at its own frequency and the combination creates an ever-present electronic 'soup' of invisible poison, which scientists are only now beginning to recognise for its broad-range harmful effects.

 Oz must not get too close to the US posted by Peter Leahy via mitch, 2012-04-11 10:50:50
Former Army chief, General Peter Leahy, sounds a tactful warning about our one-sided relationship with the US. Specialists are aware that the US is targeting China at Australia's great expense; local defence chiefs are under no illusions regarding the greatest potential threat to Oz security and it doesn't emanate from China! Of course the Americans would like us to think it does, however, there is no denying that Indonesia continues to present the greatest potential threat to Oz security! (full story)

 America Confirms Status as Land of the Moron posted by judd, 2012-04-10 23:43:47
According to a recent poll 84% of Americans believe that Iran is attempting to develop nuclear weapons -- now, I wonder how those ill-informed idiots arrived at that conclusion? Perhaps via the same means the same idiots were led to believe that an invasion of Iraq was necessary because Saddam had WMDs, mobile chemical weapons labs and uranium centrifuges for making nuclear weapons -- none of it was true but then TRUTH is a stranger to America.

 Study links Dental X-Rays to Cancer posted by Adam Cresswell via stan, 2012-04-10 22:12:37
Most dentists are trigger-happy when it comes to dental X-Rays, yet most common dental work does not require X-Rays, simple probes and mirrors are sufficient exploratory devices. However, dentists in their frantic pursuit of huge fees and quicker client turnover avail themselves of the easier, higher paying procedure and to hell with possible brain tumors, after all its YOU not me receiving the deadly radiation!

 The Measure of a Reprehensible Political Criminal posted by baz, 2012-04-10 10:16:44
Some would remember, though most would prefer to forget, John Howard, former Oz PM and the third member of the coalition of willing criminals that led the illegal invasion on Iraq on behalf of Oil Companies and other vested Commercial interests. Today we know that that criminal enterprise resulted in over one million civilian deaths and four million displaced persons. Bush, Blair and Howard all LIED on record regarding the existence of WMD; Blair, in an effort to top the other two lying criminals, stated in parliament that Saddam could launch an attack on Britain in 45 of the most absurd minutes that modern history has recorded -- it was a surreal period in world history, one in which the law was completely subverted by a cabal of sociopathic elites and corporate criminals at the very top echelon of global society.

 50,000 affected by security camera privacy breach posted by Andrew Ramadge via stan, 2012-04-10 01:40:27
Thousands of people all over the world could be watching 'Martha' [or you] get ready for bed right now. But Martha isn't an entertainer. She's an elderly woman, and she almost certainly doesn't know that the inside of her home is being broadcast on the web due to faulty video equipment. (full story)

 Majority Desperate for Political Representation posted by cate, 2012-04-09 23:09:00
Faced with the hard REALITY of minority serving puppet governments in ALL Western 'democracies,' the people are screaming for REAL representation as the stunning grass roots support for dark horse Elizabeth Warren would indicate; Warren has entered the fray in a bid to unseat incumbent conservative Massachusetts Senator, Scott Brown.

Corruption and the Selective War on Drugs posted by baz, 2012-04-09 10:23:56
There they were again, about a dozen young cops with their sniffer dogs sweeping the pub next to my friend's café. My friend always dreads when police sweeps coincide with one of my visits, he knows I have an acute sense of justice and fair play and am likely to undiplomatically voice my opinion. (full story)

More Counter-Revolutionary Diatribes from Chris Hedges posted by zayn, 2012-04-08 09:15:31
Chris Hedges has outdone himself this time -- the video below tells the entire story, from his clearly anti-Serb stance, right down to the support he gives to the American status quo, though that support is not immediately apparent. Hedges utilises many historical icons of social change in his defeatist and PASSIVE, DO-NOTHING, toxic rhetoric. He cleverly invokes the memory of champions of social CHANGE/ACTIVISM like Martin Luther King, and Jesus Christ and makes reference to many revolutionary writers whose shoes/sandals he is not fit to clean.

  'Limits to Growth' Warning confirmed in latest Study posted by dwayne, 2012-04-08 01:11:48
A recent study by Australian CSIRO scientist, Graham Turner, confirms that the world 'end game' scenario projected by an earlier (1972) MIT study is not only accurate but is ahead of schedule. The original study was commissioned by the Rockefellers and other eugenicists at the time. It verifies the end of the world as we know it if today's levels of consumption/'growth' are not drastically curtailed. (full story)

 Banners and False Flags: ANONYMOUS Hacks China Gov posted by lyx, 2012-04-07 22:54:57
It seems government sponsored armies of Chinese hackers just got a taste of their own medicine but I would sound a warning to all the younger crewz that various western criminal organisations such as the USAF and Washington gov are conducting attacks under the flags of foreign nations. This situation presents an opportunity for experienced members and a 'tread carefully' alarm for the inexperienced legions of 'scripters.' (full story)
