 ANZAC legacy tarnished by today’s ADF
peptide, Thursday, Nov 27 2008, 10:03pm
I hoped I would never be required to confront the reality of Australian military forces consciously engaging in criminal assassinations -- methods usually associated with Israel’s IDF and the American mass murdering military. However, ABC journalists have recently uncovered the sordid activities of today’s (Howard’s and Rudd’s) ADF. And what a tragic day it is for Australia and its once proud and honourable defence force.

Google's next step towards domination of the Information Age
Nicholas Pullen via quill, Thursday, Nov 27 2008, 7:46pm
[Numerous posts to this site (input google in search box) warned very early of Google's intention to monopolise ALL available data. The mass media has as usual been extremely sluggish in reporting real threats to our democracies and freedoms. However, perhaps from fear of its own future relevance, if Google succeeds with its plans, the mass media now reports on the Corporation that is without doubt the greatest threat to free thought and liberty in the world today.

 The Hopelessness of ‘Change’
Kingfisher, Wednesday, Nov 26 2008, 10:26pm
It should now be clear to all that Obama is a FRAUD – it’s full speed ahead for the status quo; it hasn’t missed a beat! The hope of the people has been dashed against the megalith of American power; a monster that prevails against any single politician (JFK) or group that opposes it – notwithstanding that nothing is able to prevail against the PEOPLE!

Insider bankster Paulson to throw another $1.2 Trillion at FAILED financial system
yarra, Tuesday, Nov 25 2008, 11:32pm
The US is clearly bankrupt; however, the same pathology that denies the civilian death toll in Iraq (one million innocent souls) also denies the REALITY that the economy and financial system are DEAD, and have been for some time. It is time for all Americans to apply another delusional, mythic, remedy to the real economy – RESURRECTION! [Laughing out loud!] Give it your best shot you SICK, pathological DENIERS. Ask Jesus fucking Christ to ‘bail’ you out, you mindless morons! You would quickly learn that no MAN MADE ‘GOD’ or MYTH is able to affect even a single hair on the head of the most ardent delusionist/religionist/fantacist – you vacuum-headed imbeciles!

U.S. Pledges Top $7.7 Trillion to Ease Frozen Credit
Mark Pittman and Bob Ivry via gan, Tuesday, Nov 25 2008, 9:21am
The U.S. government is prepared to provide more than $7.76 trillion on behalf of American taxpayers after guaranteeing $306 billion of Citigroup Inc. debt yesterday. The pledges, amounting to half the value of everything produced in the nation last year, are intended to rescue the financial system after the credit markets seized up 15 months ago.

APEC dunderheads suitably attired!
budgie, Sunday, Nov 23 2008, 8:26pm
Leaders of the Asia-Pacific Economic ‘Co-operative’ traditionally finalise their gathering by donning the national dress of the host nation. This year was no exception; however, in a bid to humble or portray leaders as they really are – PUPPETS and potato-heads – a very astute ‘designer’ dressed the ‘world leaders’ in potato-sack ponchos – and what a sight it made! The narcissist clowns presented to the public as leaders (chunder) have been accurately rendered as potato-head puppets to the Corporations and Big business. We thank you Peru for demonstrating to the world the real calibre of our ‘leaders’ – what a fuckin’ joke! (story and 2 images)

The Irony of America’s New World Order ..
finch, Saturday, Nov 22 2008, 8:47pm
is that America will more than likely be relegated to the background. The loci of power are inexorably moving EAST; and there is nothing outside a full-scale nuclear conflict that could alter that course – world leaders beware! Americans are proven mass murderers, as the civilian holocaust in Iraq clearly indicates! (story and 2 comments and 3 images)

The Stillborn Presidency
budgie, Thursday, Nov 20 2008, 10:21pm
The world is about to witness a political first – a stillborn presidency! Obama, by selling out on almost every promise and ‘position’ he had taken prior to revealing his marionette status, has earned the wrath of the people. (story and 1 comment and 2 images)

Moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue
Joseph L. Galloway via rialator, Thursday, Nov 20 2008, 7:41am
With two months still to go before his inauguration as the 44th President of the United States, Barack Obama and his transition team are already getting off on the wrong foot, signaling that they have no intention of investigating anyone in the Bush administration for possible war crimes.

Obama and the FAILURE of the Big Sell
finn, Wednesday, Nov 19 2008, 8:12pm
All doubt relating to Barack Obama’s status as puppet and house slave is removed by simply citing his support base – what a circus! Look it up and offer it as verification to the most hardened sceptics. [A few supporters of the ‘people’s president’ (what a laugh) are mentioned here to ‘stimulate’ further research; “Goldman Sachs, J. P. Morgan Chase, Citigroup, Bill Gates and Warren Buffett, the world’s richest man, to name a few!" How’s dem apples, you yankee doodle dunces?] (story and 1 comment)

Black Africans give world a lesson in Asymmetric Warfare
Captain, Tuesday, Nov 18 2008, 1:11am
Superpowers are in shock over the news that Somali pirates have seized a super tanker three times the size of an aircraft carrier off the coast of Kenya! Perhaps we should recall the destructive actions of the USA around the globe but particularly in Somalia. The national economy is completely ruined; faced with starvation or slavery, Somalis have developed a lucrative sub-economy from the proceeds of piracy. (story and 2 images)

Will an Obama Administration seek to restore justice?
John S. Hatch via krill, Monday, Nov 17 2008, 8:45am
Amidst the somewhat hysterical euphoria of the Obama win is the fact that he has some very sober decisions to make, and his choice of Chief of Staff (Rahm Emanuel has already had to apologise for remarks by his once-terrorist father) does not auger well. Why choose someone who has served in Israel’s brutal IDF and who is rabidly anti-Palestinian? Is this ‘Change’? Also disturbing is talk of retaining Secretary of Defense Robert Gates with all his Iran-Contra baggage. Or Madeleine Albright who insanely stated that the undisputed deaths of 500,000 Iraqi children (under the age of five) during the (ineffectual to Saddam) sanctions following Gulf War I were ‘worth it’. Or possibly appointing Paul Volker to head Treasury. Change? This sounds like Business As Usual.

The Sickest News of the Day: Obama’s White House puppy
gan, Sunday, Nov 16 2008, 11:19pm
The Associated Press is running yet another story on the now notorious “Pet Sematary” White House puppy! Given the many crises and current instabilities around the globe, dwelling on trivia is bordering on criminal neglect. A previous article mentioned the obscenity of the American media and its obsession with trivial matters while people are being slaughtered DAILY by American forces and mindless remote-controlled UAV (drone) attacks!

Air Marshals: Undercover and Under Arrest

Shawn Nguyen bragged that he could sneak anything past airport security using his top-secret clearance as a federal air marshal. And for months, he smuggled cocaine and drug money onto flights across the country, boasting to an FBI informant that he was "the man with the golden badge."

G20: Bush pleads for return to ‘free’ market but collapse Inevitable
quin, Friday, Nov 14 2008, 9:13pm
Capitalism, regardless of its many and varied disguises, is historically VERIFIABLE as WEALTH FOR THE FEW – that is its one most consistent, overriding characteristic! We therefore have no need to entertain lies that it is anything other than an unfair economic system that promotes inequity and insider elitism, which inevitably leads to the type of collapse we are experiencing at the present time!

More of the same with Obama -- 'Change,' not likely!
Kingfisher, Sunday, Nov 9 2008, 12:11am
Are we able to see the nose on our collective, rustic face? A face that betrays its primitive and limited rustic heritage; a face resplendent with intellectual vacuity! Republican running mate, Sarah Palin, was unaware that Africa is a continent – it would be pointless asking the average American to name the largest nation that occupies the most well known sub-continent in the world today (India) -- you see, Palin is the norm, not the exception!
