 Haneef case: international embarrassment and national disgrace posted by peptide, 2007-07-22 09:50:56
There is one extremely clear aspect to the Haneef debacle; it has Howard written all over it! Yet does the PM or his flunky cohorts in crime fear arrest? Not that one can detect! The long history of deceptions, lies, duplicities and manipulations from Tampa, children overboard to Haneef, combine to form one final farewell fiasco for our resident ‘draco,’John Howard.

Trouble in Hedgistan: “Its gonna get a lot worse” posted by Mike Whitney via rialator, 2007-07-22 00:35:21
Two columns of black smoke can be seen rising over Wall Street and disappearing into the ice-blue New York sky. Terrorism? Not quite. The plumes of smoke are all that’s left of two major hedge funds which blew up just weeks ago leaving nothing behind but a few smoldering embers and a mound of black soot. (full story)

  Colons, Polyps and Cognisance posted by zebra, 2007-07-21 00:27:05
George W Bush finally formalised his relationship with Cheney and acknowledged him as the true President prior to entering hospital for a colonoscopy. Doctors were surprised to discover that one of the polyps removed from Bush’s rectum turned out to be his brain. Surgeons were astonished to learn that a tiny polyp-sized brain could function in the human rectum – a fact that didn’t surprise the public! (full story)

 Howard: too familiar and contemptible posted by subterranean zeppelin, 2007-07-20 17:33:47
The extraordinary Haneef fiasco highlights the increasingly desperate tactics Howard is willing to employ to save the un-savable. Everyone, whether Lib or Lab is sick of Howard. But there’s no stopping our home grown lying little war criminal, Johnny! If he takes a greater risk than victimising/scapegoating Haneef, whatever scurrilous action he dreams up, it could well land him and other involved conservatives in the dock or land his entire party so far into the political wilderness that a blacktracker wouldn’t be able to find it!

Racist Howard government Exposed posted by nano, 2007-07-19 14:17:14
It appears the Australian Howard government has utilised an Indian medical doctor as a scapegoat for purely political purposes. New information contradicting ‘evidence’ supplied by the crown prosecutor regarding the exact location of the discovery of Dr. Haneef’s SIM card -- upon which the crown bases its entire case -- clearly exposes an appalling fabrication, beat-up and collusion. It seems that government ministers and high ranking public servants are involved in a sordid strategy designed to enhance Howard’s re-election prospects – which are now diminishing by the minute!

Kissinger’s Secret Meeting With Putin posted by Mike Whitney via reed, 2007-07-18 22:33:18
"RAF fighter jets were scrambled to intercept two Russian strategic bombers heading for British airspace yesterday, as the spirit of the Cold War returned to the North Atlantic once again. The incident, described as rare by the RAF, served as a telling metaphor for the stand-off between London and Moscow over the murder of Alexander Litvinenko.” (Times Online, Richard Beeston; “RAF scrambles to intercept Russian bombers, 7-18-07)

The Australian Dilemma posted by dingo, 2007-07-18 13:37:49
Australian citizens face a national election later this year and few are happy with the available choices. The two party adversarial system has resulted in two disliked candidates, one a war criminal, racist, pathological liar, despicable coward and servile corporate US lackey, the other a nothing, a zero with no ideological platform or defined identity – a non-specific turd!

Haneef: leaked transcript incriminates Howard government posted by peptide, 2007-07-17 12:08:14
A leaked transcript of a Federal Police interview with Dr. Haneef, reveals that Dr. Haneef denied all knowledge of the UK bombings and that he had given his pre-paid SIM card to his cousin over a year ago as it was no use to him outside the UK. Howard and his flunkey ministers have been exposed YET AGAIN for tampering with the facts, usurping due process and interfering with proceedings for purely political purposes. (full story)

 Sydney’s “Go (and get fucked) Bag!” posted by barra, 2007-07-16 12:52:45
It is rare that a politician expresses the true sentiments of the population but the Deputy Lord Mayor of Sydney, Chris Harris, has thrown political discretion to the wind and let the Mayor ‘have it’. The Mayor Clover Moore, during one of her ‘out of body experiences’ has returned to her tribe with a revelation that Sydney citizens should carry a “go bag” in the event of an emergency! The bag should contain articles such as sneakers for walking, a baseball cap for that quick game, a flash light and a toilet roll, I quote the consultant who advised the Mayor, “in the event of a toilet roll crisis!” (full story and 1 comments)

 Desperate losers deliver ‘low blow’ posted by finch, 2007-07-15 19:57:09
Howard government reveals true character in Haneef case. Immediately after a Queensland Magistrate rightly released terrorist suspect, Haneef, on bail – the prosecutor failed to establish any direct connection to terrorist activity -- the Howard government acting through the Minister for Immigration, Kevin Andrews, revoked his visa on (unproven) character grounds and transferred him to an immigration detention centre.

 Beat-up alert: Howard whips it up, whips it good posted by nano, 2007-07-14 17:57:05
John Howard, holocaust denier, mass murderer and Terrorist, by any definition of the term, is again banging his very battered and somewhat muted tin drum in a very transparent attempt to capture media attention. He is milking the UK bombings and the tenuous local connection for all its worth. Howard is a known master of the ‘front page grab’ and as expected, the compliant local media have taken the herring. Minimal analysis just Murdoch style hype and exaggeration and Howard the coward appearing as the ‘strong man.’ If the reader has any doubts regarding the compliance of the local media ask yourself how many times the media has taken Howard to task for his direct complicity in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of civilians in Iraq!

 Banana Accomplished posted by spoon, 2007-07-14 02:14:22
After years of listening to Bush make excuses for his murderous invasion and subsequent failure in Iraq I again took to the keyboard with the intention of detailing the reality of the world’s most denied holocaust. But it dawned on me that the problem was not really Bush or his neo-cons or any other member of the coalition of criminals and imbeciles – it is the apathetic population whose utter indifference has allowed the situation to deteriorate.

The Semiotics of Racism and Terrorism posted by William Bowles via reed, 2007-07-13 14:20:15
Language is without peer as the most destructive of all Weapons of Mass Destruction, if so used! The obvious examples are Bush and Bin Laden; where would both these murdering criminals be without the Bible and Koran translating into the actions of Wahhabists and Evangelicals – such is the power of Language/text. We encourage everyone to read the following excellent little piece and pursue the discipline. The inaction and tolerance of the masses in the face of appalling holocausts and overt criminality perpetrated by our governments becomes less mysterious if the subliminal power of language is understood. Becoming aware of the operative layers of language inoculates against slave inducing subliminal messaging. [Eds.] (full story)

 ACCC takes 'deceptive' Google to court posted by Mark Schliebs via reed, 2007-07-11 21:15:36
[To Google with biased love:
Industry analysts and IT professionals are extremely familiar with Google’s unfair practices. Google itself advertised the fact that it would toss information freedom and fair play to the wind for a price. The entire free world witnessed Google openly sell its 'integrity' to the communist totalitarian regime of China, proving without doubt that it consciously engages in the most appalling partiality and bias.
We wish the Oz Competition and Consumer Commission all success and we wish Google the justice it deserves.

 The ‘Lone Wolf’ terrorist and a ‘Little Red’ faced absurdity posted by dingo, 2007-07-11 02:09:05
There comes a time when beat-ups, orchestrated lies, fabrications and plain incompetence converge to form the most ludicrous proposition imaginable. We recall the Saddam connection to Bin Laden, fantasy WMD, mobile anthrax labs, bouquets of flowers and open armed welcomes for invaders, breaking the back of the insurgency, mission accomplished, the inane poetry of Rumsfeld and various other mutterings from the loony tunes brigade OF CRIMINAL MASS MURDERERS. However, it seems the best is yet to come; the local chapter of the lobotomy squad, masquerading as an anti-terrorist force in Sydney has invented a new category of terrorist – the “lone wolf.” (full story)
