  Kosovo: justification for a retaliatory attack on the USA posted by Michel Chossudovsky via reed, 2008-02-03 20:14:52
While the European Union and the US, have acknowledged that they would be "opposed" to a " unilateral" declaration of independence of Kosovo, the secession of Kosovo from Serbia is already de facto. It is part of a US-NATO military agenda. It is the culmination of the 1999 NATO led invasion. It responds to US-NATO strategic objectives. (full story)

 Rudderless Rudd – we knew it from the start! posted by budgie, 2008-02-03 10:59:09
The clearest indication our new ‘fearless leader,’ Kevin, is a clueless, bereft twerp, came in the form of a plea for ideas on how to run the country! Prior to addressing that disgraceful request our first recommendation to Rudd and his band of bereft eunuchs would be to look up the word GOVERN in any dictionary – for the nation’s sake!

BELGRADE (Reuters) - Serbia's pro-Western president Boris Tadic has won re-election in a contest with nationalist Tomislav Nikolic, but his narrow victory may only have set up a fresh struggle over the country's future course. (full story)

 Violence posted by quin, 2008-02-02 12:11:02
Violence has always been a problematic issue for humankind. The world is characterised by violence from storms/weather to the behaviour of microbes and large carnivores. However, the wanton violence of mankind is in a category all by itself. It is little wonder violence poses a major dilemma for all human societies. (full story)

The Free World and America’s ‘Fort Apache’ mentality posted by druze, 2008-02-01 12:25:02
Remember how the west was ‘won;’ slaughtering buffalo, the principal food supply of plains Indians, and establishing Forts to secure outposts in the ‘Indian territories?’ All those treaties, lies and slaughtered natives, one and half centuries ago; but expansionist methods haven’t changed an iota. Welcome to Fort Bondsteel in Kosovo and hundreds of other American bases throughout the world! (full story)

The Age of Cowardice posted by finn, 2008-02-01 07:46:01
The most outstanding feature of almost two decades of Australian ‘leadership’ is COWARDICE and the social paralysis that it engenders. A decade of John Howard’s disgustingly servile leadership continues with another face and another party. Labor’s PM, Kevin Rudd, is proving to be even more timid and frightened than his predecessor – most Aussies thought that would be impossible, however, reality is difficult to deny! (full story)

 Keelty’s continuing tenure opens can of incompetent worms posted by dingo, 2008-01-31 10:39:55
The thoroughly incompetent, right-wing, conservative, partisan, ex-Howard lackey, AFP Chief, Mick ‘have another drink’ Keelty, has been timidly denounced by the very timid Queensland PM and the Attorney General for publicly expressing the desire to silence all media reporting of terrorist related cases until such time as the stunningly efficient Keystone AFP have completed their bungling, frame-ups and other manipulations designed to assist former politicians in failed re-election bids – isn’t that right, blind Freddy?

In these times: a prelude posted by person, 2008-01-30 07:18:04
Today’s governments are noted for the contempt they display toward the people. Nations that once held democratic values in the highest regard have succumbed to nasty totalitarian expediencies. Totalitarian nations continue to treat their people harshly and with little tolerance for personal freedoms. Former democratic nations and successful totalitarian nations are undergoing an ideological convergence. Regardless of ideology, however, it is always THE PEOPLE THAT PAY THE PRICE FOR THE INEPTITUDES AND FAILINGS OF THEIR LEADERS. Well, we have had enough, its time for EVERYONE to accept responsibility for their own actions -- that includes Bank Executives, Company CEOs, Financiers, and our politicians.
We are the people OF THE WORLD and we have had enough! Learn this slogan well,
WE ARE ONE!
It will either save you or it will be your nemesis. (full story)

 Keelty has taken ‘leave’ posted by barra, 2008-01-29 06:52:22
Australian Federal Police Commissioner, Mick ‘lost the plot’ Keelty, seems to be suffering short-term memory loss as a result of alcohol and prescription drug abuse. In an extraordinary outburst Keelty slammed the media and others, “who could put two sentences together,” for criticising his handling of various cases and bungling the Dr. Haneef investigation.

 State of the Union: living in your own private Denial-aho posted by Jay, 2008-01-28 19:08:21
If you haven’t seen a State in denial we recommend re-playing Bush’s last State of the Union address -- is anybody out there? The clueless, “mission accomplished” president of the U.S.Aaaay was greeted with a standing ovation from Congress, unrestrained cheers and acclamations reaching to the rafters but the delusory, obviously strained overkill betrayed the PANIC of (crashing) reality. What has the Bush administration done right, name one Goddamn thing, to put it in the American idiom! Just one positive contribution – give it a shot and taste reality through all the baloney and disaster! (full story and 1 comments)

 Bill Clinton smirked as he bombed Belgrade posted by Milan, 2008-01-27 11:34:04
News videos clearly depict then U.S. president, Bill Clinton, smirking after the Chinese embassy was hit by missile attacks on Belgrade, capital of Serbia. Targeting civilians was a crime then and remains a war crime today; however, the world was not yet familiar with the criminal tactics that later would characterise the ‘new’ American terrorist State!

 Davos: reading the sub-text posted by dingo, 2008-01-26 11:30:34
It is useful to have the world’s economic leaders and private sector financial ‘geniuses’ together for a summit – we could have bombed them for causing so much misery around the globe! The prognosis from these economic vandals is more gloom, they ought to know they created the situation – don’t you just love the inverted insanity of it all? However, reality must be addressed regardless of whether or not the patients have taken over the asylum. (full story)

Australia Day: a pathetic joke posted by major mitchell, 2008-01-25 21:41:23
A nation that flies a union jack on its flag has no independent identity whatsoever. Other former British colonies have achieved total independence decades past but not cringing Australia. Almost daily we read of yet another race-based bashing; a Chinese born permanent resident kicked to death in Footscray by a bunch of remnant Johnny Howard racist cowards is just par for the course in this retrogressive nation.

 Asian high court shows the way posted by Kingfisher, 2008-01-25 08:32:42
Formerly listed as the most corrupt nation in the world, Indonesia is now demonstrating to a thoroughly corrupt American judiciary and administration that the LAW must be observed and allowed to function without interference from the State; the world’s most corrupt nations now seem to emanate from the West! We refer to the flagrant flouting of international law and convention in relation to illegal detention, pre-emptive warfare, torture, and disregard of the territorial integrity of sovereign nations. YES, with over one million civilian deaths to its ‘credit’ America is beyond dispute as the world’s leading terrorist and criminal State followed closely by the dominant nations of NATO! (full story)

 Confirmed: Kosovo secession designed to destabilise Russia posted by dragan, 2008-01-24 11:14:47
The western backed illegal Kosovo ‘government’ of Muslim KLA terrorist, Hashim Thaci, is set to secede from Serbia in days according to latest reports. NATO and western forces are pouring troops and support personnel into the breakaway province as I write. However, it has now become exceedingly clear the tiny province does not warrant all this fuss and risk. It has become clear that western backed secessionist moves in Kosovo have been designed to create/trigger turmoil in other ethnically disproportionate regions, particularly in Russia.
