  Drug War -- Russia demands that US/NATO eradicate Afghan Opium Trade posted by staff report via stan, 2010-03-27 08:21:05
NATO and Russia clashed on Wednesday over how to tackle the drug problem in Afghanistan, where Western nations have been fighting a Taliban-led insurgency for eight years.
Afghanistan is the world's largest producer of opium, a key ingredient in the manufacture of heroin. Russia is keen to pursue an aggressive eradication strategy, while Western allies fear that such an approach risks antagonizing the local population, who rely on selling poppy crops to survive.

 Australian Internet Censorship Criticised By Yahoo, Google posted by Kismo, 2010-03-24 19:59:36
Notice how BOTH government and opposition stooges shy away from mentioning CENSORSHIP policies dictated to them by the likes of Murdoch, Big Business and Washington.
While Google now defends against China’s DRACONIAN censorship of internet information by re-directing mainland searches to unrestricted Hong Kong, AUSTRALIA'S Kevin ‘yes Rupert’ Rudd and opposition leader, Tony ‘errand boy’ Abbott, support information CENSORSHIP in the most REGRESSIVE policy move YET SEEN in Oz since media censorship was lifted in the 60's!

RomneyCare Obama Style posted by smiley, 2010-03-22 20:48:28
Obama, after throwing out every vestige of a PUBLIC health care model, COMPLETELY kowtowed to PRIVATE Health Insurance Corporatists by enforcing membership to private Insurance ‘care’ and providing government subsidies to the PRIVATE SECTOR for those who can’t afford coverage! No illusions regarding who or what REALLY holds power in Corporatist America, is there Baa’raack O’Lackey, you tap-dancing, servile, piece of shit! (full story and 1 comments)

Obama supports civilian killing, 'Balibo 5' murderers -- Kopassus! posted by Allan Nairn via tembak aja, 2010-03-22 07:10:51
According to senior Indonesian officials, Indonesian police and details from government files, the US-backed Indonesian armed forces (TNI), now due for fresh American aid, assassinated a series of civilian activists during 2009. The killings were part of a secret government program, authorized from Jakarta, and were coordinated in part by an active-duty, US-trained Kopassus special forces General who has just acknowledged on the record that his TNI men had a role in the killings.

The following slightly dated video interview with Webster Tarpley is nevertheless valuable for exposing the Truth of theocratic feudalism in old Tibet and what the Dalai Fraud represents TODAY, as head of a medieval Theocratic State in exile. (full story)

 Justice Will Be Done, one way or the other! posted by dasha, 2010-03-20 21:46:53
Over a MILLION slaughtered CIVILIANS in Iraq alone so SOCIOPATHS and CRIMINALS like Tony Blair can swim in filthy money! I have nothing to add to the linked Daily Mail story, except, perhaps, the day fast approaches when, due to a thoroughly corrupt and ineffective judiciary, THE PEOPLE will OPENLY DEMAND that Blair, Bush, Cheney, Howard and all their criminal cohorts BE SHOT ON SIGHT – [and] LET the CLEARLY PARTIAL and CORRUPT JUDICIARY attempt to put those future HEROES on trial!

 Sabrosky: 9/11, a joint US-Mossad Operation posted by stan, 2010-03-20 08:11:53
“But for the present age, which prefers the sign to the thing signified, the copy to the original, representation to reality, appearance to essence . . . truth is considered profane, and only illusion is sacred. Sacredness is in fact held to be enhanced in proportion as truth decreases and illusion increases, so that the highest degree of illusion comes to be the highest degree of sacredness.” -- Ludwig Feuerbach (full story)

 The Oz Servility Stakes – Labor faces Nationwide Obliteration! posted by bluey, 2010-03-19 19:59:13
Mike Rann, South Australian Premier, is second only to his Federal counterpart, Kevin ‘custard face’ Rudd, in his obeisance to Corporatists and BIG Business. Rann is facing slaughter at the forthcoming State elections, which some analysts say will be an Oz-wide snowball effect – Rudd and his State Labor counterparts have proven to be the most unrepresentative Labor governments in the nation’s history – it’s ‘all the way’ with BIG Business/Washington and fuck the traditional support base of average working Aussies!

Obama to ORDER Rudd on Policy posted by Captain, 2010-03-16 22:18:51
How dare that puppet, Aussie flea, Kevin ‘CENSORSHIP’ Rudd, refuse our Mad Cow beef exports, who or what does that UNREPRESENTATIVE servile flea think he is, a REAL AUSTRALIAN or something? It’s confirmed, Obama will not risk an open visit to Oz due to increased security concerns; it seems yanks continue to regard Aussies as an unholy bunch of unpredictable and dangerous penal colonialists, rebels, renegades and Freedom Fighters, too dangerous a population for an open visit, can’t understand how they arrived at that conclusion! Nevertheless, Obama, who would rather not stop in Oz period, has been forced to visit Rudd in Canberra and instruct him on a number of policy decisions Washington wishes its puppet government to adopt!

 Abbott unintentionally flushes BOUGHT Oz politicians posted by stylus, 2010-03-16 07:58:21
Former and current Australian politicians who have clearly been bought by BIG Business have lined up in criticism of Tony Abbott’s new tax on Big Business to support his radical parental leave initiative. We have covered reprehensible criminal and Wall St servant Paul Keating’s criticism in a previous article. However, former conservative treasurer, Peter ‘supercilious prick’ Costello, remembered as the man who lacked the guts to fight for his party’s leadership, joined the fray later this afternoon in SUPPORT-- wouldn’t ya know it – of Kevin Rudd and BIG Business – LOL!

Former Indonesian arse-licker, money launderer -- the casino we had to have on Christmas Island -- Balibo denier, bank deregulator, reprehensible traitor and corrupt criminal, Paul ‘fingers’ Keating, sprang to the ‘aid’ of failing PM and reprehensible LACKEY, Kevin ‘custard face’ Rudd today, by taking a characteristically unconsidered, loud-mouthed swipe at opposition leader Tony ‘domini’ Abbott, calling him a policy devoid “little John Howard,” a [Rhodes Scholar] “intellectual nobody” and parliamentary “resident nutter!” (full story)
