  Fraudulent Leaders posted by peptide, 2008-06-26 09:14:08
America beware! The Australian public screamed for change but got a Murdoch approved status quo dummy for a leader. Kevin Rudd's first seven months in office have been defined by his inability to do anything whatsoever; his greatest achievement to date is NON-ACHIEVEMENT! He has become a master of preserving the status quo set in motion by the powers that placed the previous conservative leader in office and so it will go with the USA unless the people detect the ruse before it’s too late!

There is absolutely no way to avoid a nuclear conflict while Israel and the USA exist! So let’s get it over with NOW! What are the dictates of the mass murdering, sociopathic, racist, Jew God on the subject? (full story)

Serbia: an unlikely alliance posted by rade, 2008-06-25 11:13:27
As predicted, Milosevic’s Socialists (partisans) have rejected their traditional (cetnik) nationalist enemy and will form a government with Tadic’s west-leaning liberal democrats. The extreme left and extreme right are forming a very shaky alliance, one destined to be dysfunctional from the outset but such is the nature of Balkan politics – shaky alliances are the norm not the exception in Balkan politics.

Neo-cons subverting the US Justice Department and Democracy posted by Eric Lichtblau via rialator, 2008-06-25 09:53:38
WASHINGTON -- Justice Department officials over the last six years illegally used “political or ideological” factors to hire new lawyers into an elite recruitment program, tapping law school graduates with conservative credentials over those with liberal-sounding resumes, a new report found Tuesday.

State-Sponsored Terror: British and American Black Ops in Iraq posted by Andrew G. Marshall via fleet, 2008-06-25 09:15:27
In January of 2002, the Washington Post ran a story detailing a CIA plan put forward to President Bush shortly after 9/11 by CIA Director George Tenet titled, "Worldwide Attack Matrix," which was "outlining a clandestine anti-terror campaign in 80 countries around the world. What he was ready to propose represented a striking and risky departure for U.S. policy and would give the CIA the broadest and most lethal authority in its history." The plan entailed CIA and Special Forces "covert operations across the globe," and at "the heart of the proposal was a recommendation that the president give the CIA what Tenet labeled "exceptional authorities" to attack and destroy al Qaeda in Afghanistan and the rest of the world." Tenet cited the need for such authority "to allow the agency to operate without restraint -- and he wanted encouragement from the president to take risks." Among the many authorities recommended was the use of "deadly force." (full story)

Real Australian spirit required to remedy national crises posted by major mitchell, 2008-06-24 22:59:16
Enough time has passed for every Aussie to conclude that the Rudd government, faced with critical issues, is GUTLESS and USELESS! Rudd and his mob of no-hopers appear even more servile and slavish to U.S. dictates and corporate interests than the previous Howard government -- as inconceivable as that REALITY may be for most Aussies. However, after seven months of Rudd’s vacuous parading and poncing around, blind Freddy sees! (full story)

 The ACT of DEFIANCE that ended a military Empire posted by nano, 2008-06-23 11:37:26
It is generally believed the collapse of the USSR was due to the unsuccessful campaign in Afghanistan – not so, though it was an effective final act. Afghanistan was actually the last straw that broke the Soviet back but the major destabilising force originated in Prague in the form of the ’68 Velvet Revolution! (full story)

 The ‘news’ of the day, I just wiped my arse with it! posted by finch, 2008-06-22 01:21:41
Where shall I start? It’s all of one substance/character, managed and manipulated, vacuous, sensationalist, propaganda tailored for western empty-heads, isn’t that right Mr. Murdoch? The ‘wires’ are overflowing with mindless excrement perfectly suited for a mindless western, shit-for-brains, audience! (full story and 1 comments)

 U.S. 'bipartisanship' defined posted by Glenn Greenwald via krill, 2008-06-21 20:34:22
It's bad enough watching the likes of Steny Hoyer, Rahm Emanuel and a disturbingly disoriented Nancy Pelosi eviscerate the Fourth Amendment, exempt their largest corporate contributors from the rule of law, and endorse the most radical aspects of the Bush lawbreaking regime. But it's downright pathetic to see them try to depict their behavior as some sort of bipartisan "compromise" whereby they won meaningful concessions: (full story)

 Mugabe invokes ‘God’ -- it worked for Bush! posted by peptide, 2008-06-20 21:26:41
Mugabe and Bush may have more in common than first pathologically thought! Both pursue their sick visions/delusions without regard to Law, the Constitution or the will of the people. Both exhibit contempt for the sanctity of human life and refuse to acknowledge the huge number of innocent lives they have destroyed. Both leaders justify their actions with theistic babble, a clear indication of psychopathology/megalomania! Both refuse to acknowledge they are directly responsible for war crimes and other crimes against humanity. Indeed, both men share more characteristics in common than differences. They are the most reprehensible criminal leaders the world has seen in decades AND they BOTH MUST BE BROUGHT TO JUSTICE! (full story)

The Singular, unilateral USA approves War Bill posted by costic, 2008-06-20 03:01:14
No viable political alternative exists in the USA and only a fool would think otherwise. Noises of opposition from the Democrats are for appearances only; the charade of a democracy must be maintained. Congress passed Bush’s War Bill 268 to 155 votes, which effectively puts an end to all illusions the Democrats actually represent a viable alternative! (full story and 1 comments)
