  Oz PM a Philistine! posted by stan, 2010-03-02 10:19:47
The Australian PM, Kevin ‘CENSORSHIP’ Rudd, has been rightly accused of philistinism by analysts, commentators and Australian artists. While in Adelaide the PM managed to avoid every major cultural event for which the city is known. For those not familiar with the term, wiki defines a Philistine as ‘a person that despises, undervalues or is unable to appreciate Art, Beauty, Intellectual Content, the Abstract, and Spiritual/Inspirational realities. Philistines are also said to be materialistic, conservative and favour convention.’ It is hardly surprising that a parochial bureaucrat from Pauline Hanson’s State of Queensland is a narrow minded materialist! Put in plain language Rudd is a lacklustre bureaucrat that lacks creativity, style, imagination, flair, and VISION -- don't we know it! (full story)

 Kevin ‘mad cow’ Rudd, lifts ban on Beef Imports posted by bluey, 2010-02-27 09:58:26
After re-introducing REGRESSIVE INFORMATION CENSORSHIP and bypassing safety assessments to rush through the installation of DANGEROUS full-body X-ray scanners at Australian airports, we couldn’t imagine Rudd opposing the wishes of the public again. However, in a move guaranteed to make him a target for assassination, Rudd, against the wishes of growers, retailers and consumers (everyone), is lifting the ban on Mad Cow Beef imports! This is perhaps the most overtly contemptuous gesture Rudd has ever displayed toward the Australian public. A PM that totally disregards public opinion in favour of foreign interests (U.S. beef industry) is CLEARLY a traitor and should be tried for treason in an Australian court! (full story)

  TREASON, Government Ministers and Regulatory Agencies in Oz posted by quin, 2010-02-25 18:36:51
Following the SURPEME COURT’S recent RULING AGAINST mega-Hollywood studios, media moguls, Murdoch and Stokes -- iiNet vs the ‘Plutocracy’ -- a functional and largely UNCORRUPTED Aussie LEGAL system has allowed another landmark case to proceed. Former Guantanamo detainee, Mamdouh Habib, won a Federal Court decision to proceed with an action against the Federal Government for complicity in his tortuous three-year ordeal at the hands of the CIA and other AMERICAN CRIMINAL ORGANISATIONS – no case was ever brought against Habib by the U.S. after three years of illegal detention, torture and rendition to various CIA torture facilities in Egypt, Pakistan and elsewhere.

 Official 9/11 Report Defies Basic Physics posted by Jennifer Harper via wisp, 2010-02-24 19:43:24
A lingering technical question about the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks still haunts some, and it has political implications: How did 200,000 tons of steel disintegrate and drop in 11 seconds? A thousand architects and engineers want to know, and are calling on Congress to order a new investigation into the destruction of the Twin Towers and Building 7 at the World Trade Center.

 World Tiring of America's Criminal Wars posted by major mitchell, 2010-02-24 19:23:11
China, the world’s most energy/resource hungry nation, has found it unnecessary to wage WAR in order to secure energy supplies. In stark contrast America’s WAR (plunder) first, diplomacy and LEGAL international trade last, policy, is earning it the undesirable reputation and rapidly diminishing support it deserves! Very soon America’s support base, largely BOUGHT, will disintegrate. The U.S. will not be able to bribe or buy a cup of coffee with a currency not worth the paper it’s printed on. In other words it’s over for the USA! Precipitating nuclear war (probably Iran) is last card for America. After thorough analysis and consideration of all the available evidence/information we urge the Sino-Russian alliance to pre-emptively and DECISIVELY strike in order to safeguard the WORLD from an insane, vicious, child-killing, mad-dog-nation!

 Spin, subterfuge and diversion is NOT governance posted by Captain, 2010-02-23 19:31:56
Notwithstanding America’s current status as the world’s leading terrorist nation -- its criminal civilian killing record VERIFIES the FACT – the Oz PM, Kevin ‘US lackey’ Rudd, played a neo-con DIVISIONIST trick yesterday in a feeble and TRANSPARENT attempt to draw attention away from his and his Minister’s MISERABLE PERFORMANCE IN GOVERNMENT.

 Incompetent Oz PM, Kevin ‘yes Rupert’ Rudd, attempts to portray Aussies as Terrorists posted by bluey, 2010-02-22 18:24:52
Kevin ‘photo-op’ Rudd, is arguably the most incompetent, narcissistic and ineffective Prime Minister Australia has ever had to suffer – his very brief and unfortunate tenure is threatening to annihilate Labor across the board, at Federal AND State levels! A lesson in populism you will not soon forget, gentlemen; populism going sour carries a very high penalty indeed – but its not too late, an unfortunate accident perhaps! (full story)

The True Face of Fascism posted by Edwin Black via gan, 2010-02-21 05:53:21
Hitler and his henchmen victimized an entire continent and exterminated millions in his quest for a so-called Master Race. But the concept of a white, blond-haired, blue-eyed master Nordic race didn't originate with Hitler. The idea was created in the United States, and cultivated in California, decades before Hitler came to power. California eugenicists played an important, although little-known, role in the American eugenics movement's campaign for ethnic cleansing. (full story)

 The Unravelling Ruling Elite posted by harley, 2010-02-19 19:09:47
A spectacle historians relished, as one of those bookmark moments in future history, was Tony Blair unconsciously casting himself in the classic mould of social maladjust – I of course refer to his classic sociopathic performance at the Chilcot inquiry! The mass murdering English QC and former PM couldn’t have nailed himself more efficiently had he spent a lifetime trying! Blair’s performance amounted to a magnificent backfire, one of such magnitude that its effects continue below the immediately conscious level of culture – the most powerful location for any idea to function/propagate!

 How Does a Corporation Speak? posted by William A Cohn via reed, 2010-02-18 18:04:24
A corporation speaks by clear-cutting old-growth forests, by dumping pollutants in our communities and denying care for our elders, by off-shoring to avoid paying taxes, and by outsourcing and eliminating jobs. This inanimate Frankenstein constructed by law now enjoys vast legal and constitutional rights which it wields against humans, animals and nature. (full story and 1 comments)
