 Once were Aussies! posted by dingo, 2008-02-21 10:23:16
Gone are the days of real Australian leaders; only a few decades past Australian leaders threatened to close the American installation at Pine Gap because the Americans refused to share information or allow access to the site. The very colourful raid on ASIO ordered by the Whitlam government due to the reluctance of ASIO bureaucrats to supply information to the democratically elected Prime Minister is another memorable event. Even that miserable little Zionist, Bob Hawke, stated at the time of an official visit to Washington that Australia, though an ally and friend has its OWN OPINION and VIEW and that views of the respective nations were likely to differ radically at times – WHATEVER HAPPENED TO AUSTRALIA AND INDEPENDENT LEADERSHIP?

 Serbs vent anger before getting down to ‘business’ posted by dragan, 2008-02-20 23:19:32
The indomitable will of Serbia is rousing. Thousands of Serbs are converging on Belgrade and other capitals around the globe to demonstrate against the illegal secession of Kosovo, the heartland of the Serbian nation. In a show of national solidarity, UNITY OF WILL AND PURPOSE, Serbs are informing the world that KOSOVO IS SERBIA! Secessionists, invaders and occupiers beware, a UNIFIED people defy your feeble declarations and assaults on their sovereignty. (full story and 3 comments)

 The Other Face of Google posted by Michael Y. Park via reed, 2008-02-20 08:19:31
NEW YORK — How big do you have to be to earn the wrath of the United Nations and Internet giant Google? If you're journalist Matthew Lee, all it takes are some critical articles and a scrappy little Web site. Lee is the editor-in-chief, Webmaster and pretty much the only reporter for Inner City Press, a pint-sized Internet news operation that's taken on Goliath-sized entities like Citigroup since 1987.

 Does Balkanization Beckon Anew? posted by Patrick J. Buchanan via fleet, 2008-02-20 08:11:57
When the Great War comes, said old Bismarck, it will come out of "some damn fool thing in the Balkans." On June 28, 1914, Gavrilo Princip shot the Archduke and heir to the Austrian throne Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo, setting in motion the train of events that led to the First World War.
In the spring of 1999, the United States bombed Serbia for 78 days to force its army out of that nation's cradle province of Kosovo. The Serbs were fighting Albanian separatists of the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA). And we had no more right to bomb Belgrade than the Royal Navy would have had to bombard New York in our Civil War.

 The Australian Position posted by finch, 2008-02-19 12:26:05
In contrast to the Australian Foreign Minister’s ‘yezz boss’ attitude to the Americans, Helen Clark, New Zealand PM, has joined other nations in not formally recognising the illegal secession of Kosovo. Notwithstanding Smith’s early show of subservience we are about to be treated to an even greater exhibition of servility from the new Rudd Labor government! The Australian Foreign Minister, Stephen Smith, is currently rummaging through his wardrobe looking for his ornate, formal dress kneepads in preparation for the visit of the American Defence Secretary, Robert Gates!

 Serbian Militia enters Northern Kosovo posted by dusan, 2008-02-19 08:55:30
Western powers that have effectively declared war on Serbia via their proxy, known terrorist and criminal, Hashim Thaci, are now faced with retaliation from Serbian militia. NATO the EU and the UN, regardless of their strenuous efforts to call a ‘sow’s ear a silk purse,’ are faced with the WAR they imagined would not occur! The West’s response to Serbian forces defending their nation is likely to trigger full scale warfare, an outcome the delusory western alliance imagined couldn’t happen -- how much longer should the free world tolerate the ineptitudes and thorough incompetence of Washington? How much more innocent blood must be spilt before the world realises the source of the PROBLEM? (full story and 1 comments)

 Whistle-blower site taken offline posted by staff report BBC via reed, 2008-02-18 10:22:11
[We are not surprised by the following report of information suppression on the Internet. We have never harboured any illusions regarding just who it is that demands free speech be sacrificed on the altar of profit and expediency. Is it a coincidence that Big Business in the form of a Swiss Bank -- no less -- has taken action to stifle a web site dedicated to anonymous leaks? How else could leaks be safely disseminated?
In the interests of the community, democracy and free speech we are obliged to offer this site as a temporary outlet for such information.] (full story and 1 comments)

 Old men – Old World Order posted by budgie, 2008-02-18 08:35:36
George H Bush has endorsed Republican front-runner, John McCain -- one senile old fart supporting another. The U.S. is going from one easily manipulated retard, Dubya Bush, to a ‘what day is it,’ easily manipulated senile old man? If a picture is worth a thousand words, this one is worth a few more! The image is vividly clear, its message is past tense and antiquated! (full story)

 Kosovo: fools rush in posted by Kingfisher, 2008-02-17 20:04:11
Former Australian Foreign Minister to the Hawke-Keating governments, Gareth Evans -- a man with much to hide regarding his complicity in the cover-up of the Balibo five murders -- today displayed his continuing infatuation with his own reflection in the pond of NATO/EU dreams! Evans, who is divorced from everything but the most myopic of views, expressed an opinion so completely divorced from reality one wonders whether the International Crisis Group (ICG) that now employs him, is in crisis itself!

Kosovo calamity undermines Europe’s security posted by nano, 2008-02-16 09:56:31
Most of us are familiar with the almost universally known adage, “a million wrongs do not make a right;” we are also familiar with the concept of shared criminality, most popularly depicted as a mafia leader demanding that every member of his group put a bullet into the body of a victim. In this way the most sordid and heinous of all criminal bonds is forged; all participants share in the guilt of murder! (full story and 3 comments)

 The Hilton bombing and the Assassination of Alfredo Reinado posted by barra, 2008-02-15 07:58:09
‘What is this shit,’ is a common exclamatory remark Aussies are apt to make when confronted with an obvious farce, fabrication, con or ruse? The latest criminal bungle of Australian occupation forces in Timor-Leste almost matches the effort of the Hilton bombing in ’78 [see link.] (full story)

 Executives defy Rudd’s request for wage restraint posted by cindy calist, 2008-02-14 11:12:15
Executive salaries have skyrocketed in Australian over the past decade of Howard’s rule culminating in salaries in the tens of millions of dollars for Bank and other executives – you know, the people who are responsible for creating the world credit crisis and undermining the economies of the western world! It is clear their salaries are NOT performance related! (full story and 1 comments)

Ramos-Horta: coma of convenience posted by gan, 2008-02-13 22:13:39
Australia’s involvement in the assassination of Major Alfredo Reinado is indicated – according to some analysts -- by the prolonged induced coma of Jose Ramos-Horta. The president of Timor-Leste is perhaps the only person able to supply crucial information regarding events leading to the death of Major Reinado and his own wounding, YET an odd reluctance to obtain accurate information is becoming evident, particularly from the Australians, America’s proxy in the region!

 The Proof is in the Pic posted by patriot, 2008-02-12 11:37:33
If nothing else, right-wing conservatives have proven beyond doubt that populations will tolerate monstrous crimes from their leaders particularly if the means for remedial action are removed or corrupt. (full story)
