CORRUPTION is complete when crimes are offered as justifications
fish, Sunday, Jun 14 2009, 2:03am
AMERICA, The world’s leading civilian killing nation, recently took the (fateful) plunge into pure sociopathology by attempting to use a crime as an argument to justify the crime itself! In this instance the case relates to TORTURE, which remains one of the most heinous and abhorrent crimes known to civilised society! A watershed moment in the continuing decline and (now certain) future collapse of the USA has occurred!

Peru: Blood Flows in the Amazon
Prof James Petras via reed, Friday, Jun 12 2009, 11:00pm
In early June, Peruvian President Alan García, an ally of US President Barack Obama, ordered armored personnel carriers, helicopter gun-ships and hundreds of heavily armed troops to assault and disperse a peaceful, legal protest organized by members of Peru’s Amazonian indigenous communities protesting the entry of foreign multinational mining companies on their traditional homelands. Dozens of Indians were killed or are missing, scores have been injured and arrested and a number of Peruvian police, held hostage by the indigenous protestors were killed in the assault. President García declared martial law in the region in order to enforce his unilateral and unconstitutional fiat granting of mining exploitation rights to foreign companies, which infringed on the integrity of traditional Amazonian indigenous communal lands.

‘Talk is Cheap,’ Obama
peptide, Saturday, Jun 6 2009, 3:57am
One of the world’s most enduring clichés is applied whenever lack of character/substance is detected. Only the most insular hillbillies are unaware that Obama is the leading exponent in the world today of DE-VALUING words! In the past America produced outstanding black leaders of INTEGRITY; it should now be abundantly clear that Obama is not one of them! (story and 4 comments and 2 images)

John Faulkner accepts Defence portfolio but is he right man for the job?
Kingfisher, Thursday, Jun 4 2009, 11:13pm
Perhaps a chance for REAL INDEPENDENT LABOR POLICIES in our dealings with allies or will Faulky adopt the new SERVILE, COWARDLY, LACKEY position made infamous by shameless cowards, John Howard, Kevin Rudd and ‘knee walking’ Stephen Smith (pewk!) It’s not too difficult to be a good ally and avoid being a slave; Bob Hawke once remarked that ‘good friends and allies would at times have different views, priorities, opinions AND policies!' It’s only natural when two INDEPENDENT parties work together. Did you hear that, Howard, you unspeakable, GROVELLING piece of rodent excrement?

Fitzgibbon falls on 'pen-knife' and resigns his portfolio
krill, Wednesday, Jun 3 2009, 11:15pm
Nothing personal Fitzy, but you were sloppy; the idea for a front bencher is not getting caught! We’re gonna miss you, mate. You were so handsome in your blue flak jacket while ‘posing’ as defence minister; a much better presentation than that SERVILE twerp from QLD POSING as a Prime Minister! Every move he makes is dictated to him by US Bankers, Murdoch and Transnational mining companies – that’s democracy in action; representation by MINORITY vested interests. (story and 1 image)

And you thought playing race card would go unnoticed!
sadh, Sunday, May 31 2009, 9:09pm
Shame, cowardly shame on you Australia; your backward, parochial, xenophobia and racism has AGAIN made International headlines – you can truly be proud of the John Howard, Geoff Cousin’s racist revival NOW! The cost of the Cousin’s/Howard ‘race strategy’ for cheap, SHORT-TERM POLITICAL GAIN has come home to roost – and a very well deserved outcome it is! Will it affect our position in the WORLD and our relations with important regional trading partners and other Asian neighbours – YOU bloody bet it WILL! Two dead Chinese nationals killed in race attacks and bashed Indians in parochial Melbourne dictate that outcome, you mindless morons! (story and 4 images)
