 America responds to Australia’s pathetic pleas for help!
Captain, Thursday, Jul 16 2009, 1:37am
Weak-kneed Oz politicians call on daddy America for help in China Rio Tinto 'crisis' – notwithstanding that REAL LEADERS could have EASILY handled the situation by going on the political/economic offensive without crying for DADDY America. SHAMELESS COWARDICE and INCOMPETENCE from Oz leaders, while the whole world is watching! Rudd now competes with Howard’s record of total INFANTILE SERVILITY and HELPLESSNESS, the shame of it all!

 The ENTIRE WORLD is appalled while the US continues in DENIAL!
budgie, Monday, Jul 13 2009, 9:00pm
'What does it take for the yanks to get the message,' is the question the ENTIRE WORLD IS ASKING today?
Recently discovered nano-thermite particles at ground zero (9/11) completely DEBUNK the ‘Alice in Wonderland’ government 9/11 fictional report; they ALL lied regarding the invasion of Iraq, which resulted in over one million civilian deaths and four million displaced persons; Cheney confesses to approving TORTURE on national television; now, MORE revelations regarding Cheney and secret CIA orders involving heinous criminal activities. But the most outrageous US expectation is THEY hope the WORLD accepts their INSANE and ABSURD FANTASY LAND of DENIAL – not a snowflake’s chance!

Send puppet Obama -- U.S. Corporatists alarmed over China dominance in Africa
krill, Sunday, Jul 12 2009, 1:24am
American Corporatists, Bankers and Financiers have sent their, groomed for the task, puppet to Africa to stem Chinese dominance of the oil/resource-rich region. We should mention that commercial trade between the African continent and China has existed for thousands of years, as archaeological evidence in Kenya reveals. However, the modern world has a new brutal, mass murdering, imperial player on the scene, America, which distinguishes itself from civilised nations by unrepentant civilian-killing, huge scale drug manufacturing (by proxy) and political meddling in the affairs of other nations. No other nation comes close to America’s MONSTROUS RECORD in brutality, exploitation and drug proliferation – they are the FACTS, as opposed to FOX ‘news’ spin and propaganda! (story and 1 comment)

The measure of a scurrilous Media Mogul
Kismo, Saturday, Jul 11 2009, 12:30am
Amid substantiated reports that Rupert Murdoch’s ‘journalists’ illegally accessed the voice mails and other private data of citizens in the UK, mandatory internet censorship in Australia proceeds undeterred; though it is NOW clear that the original excuse, ‘child porn,’ is a Trojan horse allowing a host of other sites, peer file sharing, and adult GAME sites, to be filtered! The real agenda -- stemming losses to Murdoch’s Entertainment and Media Empire -- should now be apparent to everyone. Murdoch’s SORDID CHARACTER is revealed by this latest scandal, notwithstanding his membership in the CFR and secretive Bilderberg group. Take note Oz, this is the man that dictates policy to Australian politicians! Take a good look at Murdoch’s servants, Rudd, Swan, Smith and Conroy, and then try to imagine these lackeys with spines – impossible! (story and 1 image)

The Liar in the House is Pelosi!
major mitchell, Friday, Jul 10 2009, 3:10am
The 'Central Intelligence Agency' lying to Congress is hardly a ‘revelation!’ The CIA has been lying to Congress and the American people since its inception. You will note what occurred when Jack Kennedy attempted to manage the CIA by starving it of funds; the CIA immediately became involved in the SE Asian Heroin trade and Merchant Banking.

Oz Pigs fail in court bid to prevent free association of motorcycle club members
cubic, Thursday, Jul 9 2009, 11:24pm
South Australian pigs were also ordered to pay the court costs of ‘Finks’ MC members! A clear message from the Australian judiciary was sent to heavy-handed FASCIST POLICE attempting to ERODE hard-won DEMOCRATIC LIBERTIES and implement draconian laws preventing FREE ASSOCIATION! It is a sorry indictment on all AUSTRALIA that the job of preserving our hard-won democratic rights has fallen to bikers alone -- shame on gutless and apathetic, Australia! (story and 1 image)

The Measure of Australian Politicians
finch, Wednesday, Jul 8 2009, 1:51pm
It hasn’t yet occurred to the Federal Opposition that their leader, Malcolm Turnbull, has lost ALL credibility and relevance after his monumental failure to oust the sitting twerp PM Kevin Rudd and his Treasurer, Wayne Swan. Attacks based on nothing more often than not, produce nothing for a result; Granny could have told you that – quit while you’re not totally behind, Malcolm! (story and 1 comment and 1 image)

Historian says US backed “efficacious terror” in 1965 Indonesian massacre
John Braddock via reed, Wednesday, Jul 8 2009, 8:55am
The United States and British governments, supported by Australia, were deeply complicit in the murder of more than half a million alleged communist sympathisers in the wake of the 1965 Indonesian coup, a prominent historian told an international conference in Singapore last month.

Obama: early onset Alzheimer's or a moron in ‘Gorky Park’
dingo, Tuesday, Jul 7 2009, 11:39am
I nearly choked on my coffee perusing the newswire this morning; the offending headline read, “Obama urges Russia not to interfere in neighbouring states!” (Emphasis added). Either ‘Captain Ebony Smooth’ has taken leave of his senses or his handlers are related to Rip Van Winkle! Need I remind banjo-playing, Americans and their tap-dancing black puppet President that AMERICA is the WORLD’S LEADING MEDDLING NATION! How would YOU define the US led bombing campaign on Yugoslavia and the subsequent theft of Sovereign Serbian Territory (Kosovo)? Reducing a single Balkan nation to a number of tiny, powerless, totally dependent, statelettes could not be described as ‘interference’ by any stretch of the imagination, nah! (story and 2 images)

Is Lucifer a racist? Go South young man, go South!
Chris McGreal via krill, Saturday, Jul 4 2009, 11:11pm
Occasionally, I shake hands with a Mason and detect that tell-tale grip, thumb on first ‘fuck-knuckle;’ I choose not to respond though I could. Boaz! And for all those racists ‘on the square’ this piece is dedicated to a failing quasi-Jewish, Lucifer-honouring, not so secret, organisation that once ruled most of the world. Today it is a shadow of its former self; however, it struggles to maintain some of those ol’ fashion racist and elitist values. Ed. (story and 1 image)

Pakistanis Reject U.S. 'Aid' Flights
Jeremy Scahill via quill, Saturday, Jul 4 2009, 10:47am
Damn those ungrateful Pakistanis. After U.S. drone attacks killed more than 600 of their people since 2006—most of them civilians—it seems they think they have some right to say they don’t want the U.S. flying its “aid” planes to Swat and other “tribal areas.” The New York Times reports that “the Pakistani authorities have refused to allow American workers or planes to distribute the aid in the camps for displaced people.” The paper reports: (story and 1 comment)

Gender Predispositions and Social Change
talya, Saturday, Jul 4 2009, 2:36am
I was awe-struck by a story on the Oz ABC recently – which barely got a run internationally – describing, by inference, the horrendous social obstacles women face in Afghanistan. However, in order to gain a real perspective on the subject we need to amplify those horrendous conditions ten-fold and then marvel at the remarkable bravery of one lone Afghani woman and member of a corrupt, servile, misogynistic all male Afghani Parliament. The challenges this woman faces daily are rape, assault and assassination; contrast with western domestic ‘crises’ like a faulty vacuum-cleaner or toaster!

Where is Bin Laden?
Washington's Blog via fleet, Friday, Jul 3 2009, 9:49am
Everyone is appropriately outraged that the former head of the CIA unit which hunted Bin Laden for almost a decade - Michael Scheur - told Glenn Beck:
The only chance we have as a country right now is for Osama bin Laden to deploy and detonate a major weapon in the United States

Madoff, aberration or business as usual?
finn, Tuesday, Jun 30 2009, 11:50am
An absurd sentence of 150 years was handed down yesterday to a man with less than 20 years to live; the sentence was intended to demonstrate how a completely corrupt (Bush/Obama) U.S. legal system pretends to serve the people of the USA.
New York Judge, Denny Chin, ‘spiced’ his sentence delivery with emotive accusations like, "extraordinarily evil" and “staggering human toll!” However, no amount of judicial indignation could compensate for the FAILURE of a DYSFUNCTIONAL ECONOMIC SYSTEM that allowed a fraud of monumental proportions to occur over a 20 year period! The jailing of one old Jewish fart hardly satisfies victims of a Banking and Financial system designed to enslave the masses and concentrate enormous wealth in the fewest possible hands!
