  The New Kamikaze Politics of Today posted by quill, 2012-06-04 01:01:00
For those not familiar, the term “Kamikaze” is originally Japanese and loosely renders into English as ‘the divine wind.’ It referred originally to Japanese suicide pilots of WWII. These very young pilots willingly died for their ‘Emperor;’ their training hours in the air were minimal, time mostly spent perfecting targeted dives. Their planes were flying bombs packed to the hilt with explosives, in effect they were the first human guided missiles sent to devastate the enemy; very few Kamikaze pilots survived their attacks.

 Aussies Turn their Backs on Major Parties posted by smiley, 2012-06-03 11:31:17
The Australian Labor and Liberal Parties have been rejected by the majority of Aussies as unrepresentative sell-outs to Big Business, the Corporations and Washington. How did the Labor Party expect to survive Gillard's disgusting and insulting LIE on the Carbon crucifixion and how did the Liberal Party hope to survive after Howard's shameless, cowardly kowtowing to Washington's every whim to the extent of involving us in America's illegal and immoral civilian killing wars?

 Traditional Enmity Delivers Strategic Gift to US posted by quin, 2012-06-03 09:19:37
Vietnam and China share a border and an Ocean, over which conflict has erupted over the centuries. The last overt war the two nations fought was in the 70's; China called it, 'teaching Vietnam a lesson.' The conflict raged for a few weeks before China was satisfied that Vietnam had learned its lesson (and place). (full story and 1 comments)

 Great Barrier Reef at Risk posted by staff report via baz, 2012-06-02 02:03:46
Have no doubts regarding which interests Oz governments serve today. Everyone seems to be benefiting from the Oz mining boom except the Australian people! Billions in profits are siphoned off for corporate elites, Transnationals and Banks but precious little goes into necessary services and infrastructure. Substandard Oz health and dental services continue to suffer due to lack of 'available' funds -- a very odd scenario despite the FACT that it is the PEOPLE that legally OWN the nation's natural wealth.

 Fukushima: Thousands of Tonnes of Radioactive water pour into the Pacific Daily posted by blogger via radium, 2012-06-01 23:48:52
Japan has given up attempting to contain the billions of litres of radioactive water used to cool stricken Daiichi reactors at Fukushima; with international approval the highly polluted water has been allowed to flow directly into the Pacific Ocean since the time the initial disaster struck. Consider the amount already leaked, then consider the amount yet to be dumped into the Pacific, as there is no easy method available to stabilise these stricken reactors. Fukushima is an international disaster in progress. (full story and 1 comments)

 No Doubts regarding Orchestrated conflict in Syria? posted by ben, 2012-06-01 00:21:39
I think it was 'dubya' Bush who once said 'fool me once, I'm an idiot, fool me twice, I'm a moron but fool all the time and I'm an American!
Surely, after gross NATO war crimes in Libya and the obvious proxy assassination of Gaddafi, "we came, we saw, he died," the USA and NATO have no credibility whatsoever regarding 'humanitarian interventions" or as peacemakers. Quite the contrary, the US/NATO create/make WARS for the benefit of their Corporations and Reserve Banking System, which is currently tightening its grip on the global economy and political situation.

 Hollywood takes Golden Shower - Kidman pisses in face of co-star posted by goldie, 2012-05-29 21:32:01
In its desperate search for new sensationlist gimmicks, the US film industry has resorted to the 'golden shower;' a topic usually reserved for lockerroom jokes. Aging actress, Nicole 'no appeal' Kidman, gratuitously pisses in the face of co-star, Zac Efron. No doubt some desperate director will trump that scene with a 'steamer' in someone's mouth. Goodbye America -- in every way, you stink! (full story and 2 comments)
