 Clinton and Gates prepared to duck 'Sniper Fire' in Oz!
Captain, Saturday, Jan 9 2010, 7:47am
Bob Gates, US Defence Secretary during the Cheney/Bush gangster years continues in that role today. He will accompany Hillary ‘sniper fire’ Clinton to Oz for meetings with lackey Oz politicians Kevin ‘photo-op’ Rudd and FM Stephen ‘knee pads’ Smith, who promises to top his previous knee-walking grovel for then Secretary of State, Condi ‘child killer’ Rice; when it comes to the servile art of knee-walking no Oz politician holds a knee-pad to Stephen Smith – he’s definitely the right man for the grovel!

 Journalism: a matter of integrity and character
quill, Friday, Jan 8 2010, 7:23pm
Should WE be surprised that today’s mainstream journos have sold out to nefarious minority interests when most professions, which have traditionally served the public interest, sold out long ago? Should we commend journos for holding out so long before they too sold out or should we condemn them completely?

US Administration finally discovers ‘real’ al-Qaeda stronghold in YEMEN!
birdie, Wednesday, Jan 6 2010, 9:54pm
WE should have known, especially after Obama’s own National Security Advisor, Gen. James Jones, stated that the ACTUAL number of al-Qaeda fighters in Afghanistan is "fewer than a hundred!" What! You mean thousands of innocent lives have been lost and the world’s most powerful military has been mobilsed to fight less than 100 fighters? Well, if nothing else it certainly portrays al-Qaeda as nothing short of superhuman, perhaps even divine! How else would it be possible for less than 100 fighters to take on the most powerful military in the world? Or is it perhaps the case that WE are being DECEIVED, YET AGAIN?

Oz government remains in Racist denial
snowy, Wednesday, Jan 6 2010, 7:57am
Like a recidivist alcoholic Kevin Rudd’s CENSORSHIP government continues to avoid the RACIST REALITY in Oz, and as every therapist would advise, you can’t cure a problem without first acknowledging it exists! The entire world is aware of xenophobic, racist, backward Australia thanks to former PM John Howard’s OVERT racism making headlines around the globe. However, an opportunity to HEAL and take the nation forward presented itself to pathetic little Kevin Rudd, who seems more concerned with CENSORSHIP issues and DENIAL than FACING leadership challenges!

The Airport Scanner Scam
James Ridgeway via fleet, Tuesday, Jan 5 2010, 6:52pm
'Scan, baby, scan!' That’s the mantra among politicians at all levels in the wake of the thwarted terrorist attack aboard a Detroit-bound passenger jet. According to conventional wisdom, the would-be “underwear bomber” could have been stopped by airport security if he’d been put through a full-body scanner, which would have revealed the cache of explosives attached to Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab’s groin.

Oz Racism: absurd claim made by useless Labor Politician
bluey, Monday, Jan 4 2010, 9:58pm
The Australian public broadcaster, which should know better than to run with and kow-tow to the new CENSORSHIP GOVERNMENT, ran a story on the COWARDLY, racially motivated, stabbing murder of a 21yo Indian student, titled: “No evidence for race link in Indian attacks ..” [Learn that banner headlines are important, Aunty!] (story and 2 comments and 1 image)

‘All the King’s minerals, and all the King’s (white) men …’
sadh, Sunday, Jan 3 2010, 8:49pm
Oz needs to have its ingrained racist nose rubbed in its mess before it will reform, it would seem. Recent news that a hard working, and promising young Indian student was viciously attacked and slain by Oz racists, identities unknown at this stage, serves to highlight the FACT that Australia REMAINS the world’s LEADING RACIST NATION. And who can we thank for exhuming the white Australia, racist corpse from its grave, why short term opportunist and War Criminal, John Howard and his chief racist strategist, Geoff Cousins – of what consequence is another DEAD darkie anyway? Well, RACIST Australia, you are about to find out!

How ruling elites support and protect their PUPPET politicians
nib, Saturday, Jan 2 2010, 10:59pm
After taking a massive Carbon Trading (PR) ‘body blow’ at No-Hopen-Hagen and suffering jibes of “loser” and accusations of “coward,” for RETREATING rather than directly confronting new opposition leader, Tony ‘the basher’ Abbott, the Oz PM, Kevin ‘CENSORSHIP' Rudd, is in dire need of assistance, especially from his CORPORATE and MEDIA MASTERS – and they sure are quick to protect their property!

Censorship and Puppet government in Oz
Kismo, Friday, Jan 1 2010, 8:28pm
The western world is aware that ‘laboratory Australia’ will soon trial, for nefarious ruling minorities, UNDEMOCRATIC, MANDATORY, information CENSORSHIP. Malevolent ruling elites around the globe will be watching with great interest the reaction of the overwhelming majority (95%) of Australians that oppose all draconian censorship IMPOSITIONS; it should also be noted that the Rudd government received NO MANDATE from the PEOPLE to impose mandatory anything let alone unwanted information controls; but of course democracy today has degenerated into a charade behind which nefarious elites control governments!

How to Slaughter Civilians and be Home in time for Dinner
finch, Wednesday, Dec 30 2009, 10:59pm
Most would not remember Karl Rove’s weapon of choice in America’s failing wars of occupation; Rove publicly stated that UAVs or Drones, as they are more commonly known, would be the ‘decisive’ weapon in South Asia! As it turns out, Drones are also the favourite weapon of Puppet-in-Chief, Barack Obaa’ma -- is anyone surprised?’ (story and 3 comments and 1 image)

My ally, my Terrorist – Aussies lament!
fray, Tuesday, Dec 29 2009, 7:57pm
An American veteran recounts a story of how an Iraqi woman cursed the American invaders while they ‘implemented’ US style ‘freedom and democracy’ in her country; “you’re worse than Saddam,” she screamed, as marines brutalised her family and ejected them from their house, which was later destroyed! War crimes aside for the moment, let’s put that poor woman’s accusation to the test, shall we? (story and 2 comments and 2 attached files)

Fraud Obama did the World a Favour
rain, Saturday, Dec 26 2009, 8:54pm
This will probably be the shortest piece I have ever written so I extend special thanks to the person who did all the hard and REVEALING work, Barack H. Obama, the greatest living FRAUD on the planet! By promising the ENTIRE WORLD, “Hope” and “Change, we can Believe in,” and then delivering a CONTINUATION of the poisonous policies of the previous administration, Obama single handedly destroyed ALL FAITH in the democratic system of government.

A sucker’s Xmas: criminal execs shower themselves in bonuses
finch, Friday, Dec 25 2009, 8:59am
The excuse most often tendered to the public by Corporatists to justify their obscene bonuses is that “talent” demands these [unrealistic] salaries and bonuses! “Talent,” did you say?
The World is staring down the barrel of what promises to be the greatest economic collapse in recorded history and the clowns responsible are now labelling themselves as “TALENTED!” Well, if ‘that don’t beat all’ for sheer affrontery, ARROGANCE and CONTEMPT for the public.

War criminal, David Kilcullen, addresses National Press Club
sarge, Wednesday, Dec 23 2009, 11:38am
Dr David Kilcullen (UNSW) recently addressed the National Press Club in Canberra -- unfortunately I was unable to attend due to a prior commitment with freedom fighters! No great loss as Kilcullen is a very familiar piece of work, he is ‘stuck’ and always behaves in a predictable manner; his greatest skill is his gypsy ability to mirror reader/audience expectations and deliver what is expected not what is necessary, ‘but more on that later!’

CENSORSHIP in Oz: in your IT Face
Kismo, Monday, Dec 21 2009, 11:34pm
It is astounding that commentators and IT media in Oz CONTINUE TO DESCRIBE Kevin Rudd’s brazen INTERNET CENSORSHIP policy as ‘filtering’ – prohibition of media information of any type is CENSORSHIP; get it straight and USE the appropriate and ACCURATE TERM! If it requires rubbing the ringed and stupefied noses of some Aussie dreamboats in the soiled fabric of our language to get the point home, then so be it! (story and 1 comment and 2 images)

ACTIONS not words define REALITY
major mitchell, Saturday, Dec 19 2009, 11:10pm
The world’s leading TERRORIST and SOCIOPATHIC nation remains characteristically true to form -- this week, The United States of America expanded its civilian killing pursuits to Yemen where the use of inappropriate, disproportionate and imprecise (in the circumstances) Air strikes killed at least 63 civilians including 28 CHILDREN; God Bless America, indeed. It is clear that waging acquisitive warfare does not serve the interests of any Christian God but serves his archrival, Lucifer! So let’s call a spade a spade and a heinous, hypocritical, Criminal State exactly what it is!

"No binding agreements" -- Copenhagen ends in FAILURE
hue, Friday, Dec 18 2009, 8:20pm
Predictably, the Copenhagen Climate 'Accord' ended in FAILURE; participants were more concerned with national rather than planetary issues.
Participating representatives avoided binding agreements favouring instead the SHORT TERM ECONOMIC INTERESTS of their respective nations -- and therein lies the problem! (story and 1 comment and 1 image)
