 CIA claims of cancelled assassination campaign are hogwash!
Eric Margolis via reed, Monday, Jul 20 2009, 8:09am
CIA director Leon Panetta just told Congress he cancelled a secret operation to assassinate al-Qaida leaders. The CIA campaign, authorized in 2001, had not yet become operational, claimed Panetta. I respect Panetta, but his claim is humbug. The U.S. has been trying to kill al-Qaida personnel (real and imagined) since the Clinton administration. These efforts continue under President Barack Obama. Claims by Congress it was never informed are hogwash.

Hillary Clinton pandering to CFR fogies in DENIAL
baz, Sunday, Jul 19 2009, 10:25am
Hillary’s recent address to the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), a group primarily comprised of white-haired geriatrics pining for the good ol’ days, confirmed that regardless of whoever inhabits the White House, status quo policies continue without interference from puppet politicians! It’s business as usual for the mass murdering, plundering, rapacious, USA and the Corporatists that run it!

 All Human Life is Precious, Mr. Rudd, you reprehensible HYPOCRITE!
fish, Sunday, Jul 19 2009, 12:03am
In the wake of bomb attacks in Jakarta, which highlighted the OPERATIONAL FAILURE of Oz and US intelligence agencies (YET AGAIN) and resulted in NINE innocent deaths, our incompetent politicians are frantically engaged in distracting the public’s attention away from government derelictions of DUTY and RESPONSIBILITY to fruitless emotional responses; “.. the Australian government will leave no stone unturned in bringing to justice the perpetrators of this violent, barbaric act of murder,” stated Rudd with all the hypocritical, fake fervour he could muster! Now consider the fact that Rudd is aware of the identities of the Indonesian murderers of five innocent, unarmed, Australian journalists in East Timor! That awkward reality puts a REAL perspective on the situation, doesn’t it, mate! (story and 1 comment and 1 image)

Big Pharma: Baxter Files Swine Flu Vaccine Patent a Year Ahead of Outbreak
Lori Price via peptide, Saturday, Jul 18 2009, 11:22am
Australia has introduced police enforcement/incarceration for people that refuse vaccinations when "SUSPECTED" of coming into contact with swine flu! Canada and France are imposing mandatory vaccinations on their entire populations while America approaches a similar policy.
The MANDATORY and ENFORCEMENT aspects based on suspicion/suspected contact essentially leaves the door open for enforcers to detain whoever they wish on a phoney quarantine excuse, then pump them full of God knows what masquerading as vaccinations! Or, optionally, murder whoever they wish in quarantine and put it down to swine flu! (story and 2 comments and 1 image)

Prior to launching into that INCOMPETENT IDIOT and COWARD, Stephen Smith, I remind the Oz public of this Minister’s debut on the international stage – YES, ‘kneepads,’ I refer to that extremely revealing press conference in Washington where Condi Rice openly mocked the GROVELLING Stephen Smith; Rice OPENLY LAUGHED at Smith AND by association AUSTRALIA! Smith squealed and whimpered all the while pledging his devotion and affirming Australia’s SLAVE STATUS to America. (story and 1 comment)

'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 '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

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

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)

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)

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

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!
