Goldman Sachs: it's not Greek to me! posted by Robert Scheer via quin, 2010-02-18 05:35:30
“What is this Goldman Sachs and why has it caused us so much grief?” is a question they must be asking in even the most remote of Greek villages, as they are throughout much of this economically troubled world. The Greek financial scandal in which Goldman Sachs stands accused of selling dubious derivatives that concealed enormous government debt has sent the Greek economy and European markets into a tailspin. But that’s just part of a made-in-the-USA banking hustle that has haunted folks at home and abroad. (full story)

Which Bank? The People's Bank! posted by Dale Wetzel via gan, 2010-02-17 07:21:37
We shouldn't forget that Oz once had a people's bank, The Common-wealth Bank of Australia. Former PM, Paul 'deregulation' Keating, killed it off and sold it to the private sector (Wall St) then instituted the most ODIOUS banking practice ever seen in Oz -- Bank FEES for doing their bloody job! Oz banks now have a license to steal so why bother working for a living! If ever an Aussie needed hanging its Keating -- he's worse than the three little shits Hawke, Howard and Rudd rolled into one [turd]! (full story)

  What's the civilian death toll, Mr Obama? posted by sten, 2010-02-16 20:10:08
For all its bluster, bells, whistles, DECEPTION and marketing bullshit, America REMAINS the WORLD'S leading CHILD/CIVILIAN killing nation. The sheer number of innocents the U.S. has directly and indirectly slaughtered rivals and exceeds that of the most heinous criminal nations in recorded history/infamy! (full story)

 Allied offensive kills 12 civilians in Afghanistan posted by teale, 2010-02-15 16:57:22
"It's regrettable that in the course of our joint efforts, innocent lives were lost. We extend our heartfelt sympathies and will ensure we do all we can to avoid future incidents," NATO commander General Stanley McChrystal said in a statement yesterday. In the wake of over one million civilian deaths in Iraq, three million in Indo-China countless thousands in Afghanistan and Latin America, millions more by proxy in Indonesia and Malaya – American apologies and words of ‘regret’ not only ring hollow and insulting they CONFRONT and MOBILISE RESISTANCE! Allied forces have LOST before they have begun! [To FREEDOM FIGHTERS everywhere, Victory is assured – WE are ONE!] (full story and 2 comments)

 Queensland Racist Pauline Hanson to Immigrate to UK! posted by bluey, 2010-02-14 18:14:42
Regressive, xenophobic, racist, Anglo RETARD, Pauline Hanson, is threatening to leave Queensland forever (do it, please!) Oz has disappointed her it seems, the fact (majority) non-Anglo Aussies ignored her entreaties to don jack boots, Swastika armbands and purge Australia of Europeans, Asians and other non-Anglos has forced her to look to ‘sunny England’ for refuge, they can have her – LOL!

 Censorship Minister Conroy 'busted' for corrupt dealings posted by gan, 2010-02-14 06:17:09
Didn't we know it from the start! Censorship serves the interests of media corporations that wish to stifle competition from the Internet. With Kevin 'yes Rupert' Rudd as PM and Stephen 'snowing money' Conroy as minister for communications, media moguls have never had it so good! Money is no object, as the mass media is a money machine provided that competition from Internet Independents is managed by very convenient censorship legislation. $250 million reeks of CORRUPTION -- a FULL INQUIRY is certainly warranted for this overtly corrupt deal -- give us all a break, you servile, incompetent Labor politicians -- pathetic!

New Balkans Wars on the Horizon posted by Dr. Pyotr Iskenderov via reed, 2010-02-12 04:05:05
The situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina will get strained as soon as Bosnian Serbs hold a referendum on their constitutional status. Its aim is to prevent leaders in Sarajevo, the US and EU from eliminating Republika Srpska. The outgoing Croatian President, Stjepan Mesic, promised that if the referendum takes place, the regular army of Croatia will enter the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina to cut off the 15-km Posavina corridor, which connects the western and the eastern parts of Republika Srpska in the area of Brcko, close to the Croatian border!

Talking Junk Economics and Eating Caviar posted by stan, 2010-02-11 21:35:48
Politicians, Economists, Bankers and Corporatists continue to spout pure, unadulterated shit (lies of recovery) while in the REAL WORLD the global economy slips further into decline. However, the public seems to be buying the nonsensical drivel issuing from the mouths of paid commentators, partisan economists, and puppet politicians – but not for long! (full story and 2 comments)

[Greetz to ALL the keyboard warriors and kiddies alike – We are ONE (we shouldn’t forget most of us started as kiddies!)]
The hacker group Anonymous, after a previous failed, but big hearted, attempt finally downed Oz government web sites with Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks – got there in the end dudes! But don’t forget to give credit where it’s due, to an early pioneer hacker and warrior, the man who developed the principles/STRATEGY, code and early tools to implement Denial of Service attacks, it was his brain and skill that downed Yahoo in the early days – no one thought it could be done, another barrier overcome – there are no limits to the skill and creative minds of elite hackers! So I take this opportunity to give credit where it’s due, to the man himself, ‘mixter’ – well done, you old cunt; we couldn’t have done it without you! (full story and 1 comments)

 Servile Rudd acquiesces to Washington’s demands! posted by ryall, 2010-02-09 07:41:58
Despite clear warnings from scientists that exposure to direct radiation from body scanners is unsafe, our pathetic Washington lackey PM, Kevin ‘custard face’ Rudd, did not hesitate when America ordered the installation of full body scanners at Oz airports! Are we no longer capable of assessing the suitability of these costly, cumbersome and potentially lethal radiation machines? Must our custard-faced, gutless leaders, ‘yez boss’ every dictate from Washington without question; where is the evaluation and risk assessment to health, notwithstanding privacy issues? Let’s hear it from OUR EXPERTS not from a lackey (jellyfish) leader who snaps to attention whenever Washington demands! (full story and 1 comments)

Rudd displays his servitude to Murdoch and Hollywood Studios posted by kurt, 2010-02-08 17:36:05
Piss-weak Oz PM, Kevin ‘yes Rupert’ Rudd, dodged a direct answer to a question from Oz youth relating to a recent landmark court case which mega Hollywood studios and media moguls LOST – how sweet it is! As usual, our spineless, subservient PM – makes ya proud to be an Aussie lackey – skirted around what every commentator knows; Rudd does what he’s told by the BIG BUSINESS interests that placed him in Office. It’s enough to make you clean and oil your ‘weapon!’ (full story and 1 comments)
