 The Genitals or the Box-Cutters - that is the Question for America’s TSA
baz, Thursday, Mar 3 2011, 12:02am
TSA personnel -- who clearly require psychological testing and competence training -- have no problems fondling the genitals of strangers who refuse deadly, airport X-Ray scans, BUT they FAIL in their PRIMARY TASK of detecting weapons in hand luggage! I mean, this level of incompetence is even beyond that of personnel that walk the corridors of the White House and the Pentagon.
How many civilians have we murdered in illegal [Corporate] wars today, Barack?

Rape Victim Arrested after Refusing TSA Intrusive 'pat down'
Jim Bergamo via stan, Friday, Dec 24 2010, 10:03pm
Early Wednesday morning, a computer glitch shut down a security checkpoint for a couple of hours at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport. The line snaked out the door as many travelers waited for more than an hour and some missed their flights. One of the first people in line after that shutdown never made it through. She was arrested and banned from the airport.

 US Vice-President Biden echoes Sarah Palin’s accusation of Assange
styx, Sunday, Dec 19 2010, 11:04pm
Yessiree Bob, no surprises from good ol’ America. The vacuum-headed former governor of Alaska, Sarah ‘suck my cock’ Palin, has found herself an unlikely supporter in her war against reason, rationality and sanity. Her inane comment that Julian Assange of WikiLeaks should be deemed a terrorist and hunted down has gained support from the Obama (corporate) proxy administration. The latest comment to issue from the continental insane asylum, called America – from the Vice-President no less – is that Julian Assange should be regarded as a “high-tech terrorist” and hunted down for revealing incontestable proof that America is the world’s leading civilian killing, THEREFORE OVERTLY TERRORIST nation. The American administration is really beginning to grate on the collective reason, rationality and sanity of the international community. (story and 1 comment and 2 images)

Spare a thought for Bradley -- the slow and Insidious Torture of Private Manning
snowy, Thursday, Dec 16 2010, 9:44pm
With all the fanfare and media flurry surrounding the colourful, mysterious and clearly captivating character of Julian Assange, very few people are sensitive to the plight of Private Bradley Manning, the alleged leaker of secret files to WikiLeaks. We would remind Mr Assange that he has a responsibility to Bradley Manning; we therefore request that he directs as much attention to the plight of Private Manning as possible.

The Inversion is Complete

 Universal Declaration of Human Rights
Liberty, Friday, Nov 5 2010, 8:42am
So few people are aware of their inalienable rights these days we thought we would publish them here and allow every reader to determine for themselves the identity of the nation today that flagrantly ignores the sanctity and preciousness of human life. The civilian killing tactics (drone warfare) of the USA breaches numerous Articles, leaving no doubt as to its terrorist status. Read, learn and hold the culpable accountable. These rights are enshrined in Law and make a mockery of the biased Hague Courts. The articles should be read to any court that pretends to deliver justice or ignores the crimes of known terrorist States.

God’s chosen Terrorists!
finch, Saturday, Jun 5 2010, 10:00pm
Israel’s forced boarding and seizure of the MV Rachel Corrie in international waters yesterday highlights what many commentators are loath to mention and others are at pains to hide; the cultural consciousness/basis behind which the inhuman actions of Israel toward non-Jews are realised.

China, Russia and the MV Rachel Corrie
baz, Thursday, Jun 3 2010, 9:27pm
Take your place on the world stage; an opportunity goes begging to fight and win; leverage a hugely popular cause; demonstrate your relevance in world affairs and offer a NAVAL ESCORT for the MV Rachel Corrie on her humanitarian mission to Gaza. Make perfectly clear to the world which two nations -- USA and ISRAEL -- terrorise humanity and arrogantly flout international law and convention by making a Nazi concentration camp of the Gaza strip!

Gaza: when world leaders become irrelevant
stylus, Wednesday, Jun 2 2010, 7:59am
We are heartened that divergent groups of brave, freedom loving people of conscience came together to form a multinational peace force to assist their fellow human beings in distress – the highest ideal of civilised humanity and the major religions has been realised by a humanitarian aid convoy sailing to relieve the long suffering people of Gaza. It seems the designs of a few sick Zionist minds to transform the new century into a permanent warring hell may have been thwarted. Peaceful resistance has been re-affirmed as the most powerful force for social change known to civilised society. [I need not remind readers which nations adhere to the ideology of ‘permanent war’ – this past decade bears horrific testimony to the carnage perpetrated on an unsuspecting world by ISRAEL and AMERICA.] (story and 2 comments)

 To Catch a Psychopath
Captain, Thursday, May 13 2010, 9:48am
Catching psychopaths requires not only the ability to ‘think’ like a psychopath but also the ability to behave as one – being careful to direct all such behaviours to psychopaths only! Unfortunately there are no other effective means by which to apprehend, contain or ‘nail’ these evil criminals. (story and 2 images and 2 audio files)

Servile Rudd acquiesces to Washington’s demands!
ryall, Tuesday, Feb 9 2010, 7:41am
Despite clear warnings from scientists that exposure to direct radiation from body scanners is unsafe, our pathetic Washington lackey PM, Kevin ‘custard face’ Rudd, did not hesitate when America ordered the installation of full body scanners at Oz airports! Are we no longer capable of assessing the suitability of these costly, cumbersome and potentially lethal radiation machines? Must our custard-faced, gutless leaders, ‘yez boss’ every dictate from Washington without question; where is the evaluation and risk assessment to health, notwithstanding privacy issues? Let’s hear it from OUR EXPERTS not from a lackey (jellyfish) leader who snaps to attention whenever Washington demands! (story and 1 comment and 1 image)

Horror racist attacks continue in Australia
gan, Saturday, Jan 16 2010, 7:32am
Attacks on Indians continue unabated in Victoria since the brutal stabbing death of Indian student Nitin Garg two weeks ago. The latest attacks occurred only 24 hours after an Australian man was sentenced to three months jail for racially vilifying and threatening an Indian taxi driver with his life. Two more Indian taxi drivers have been targeted in separate racist attacks in Ballarat. The assailants may have been motivated by 'one of their own' receiving a severe penalty for the ‘minor’ offence of threatening an Indian with his life -- we’ll show those curry-munchers what’s what ‘round ‘ere, mate!

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.

‘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!

Politicians under direct attack: the times have changed
birdie, Monday, Dec 14 2009, 6:59am
If day follows night the growing trend of direct attacks on corrupt politicians will shortly be followed by direct attacks on the forces that control them. CORPORATISTS should follow the lead set by Goldman Sachs executives who have armed themselves in the event of a populist uprising against them – imagine that?

FUCK Yoo!

The ‘HOPE and CHANGE’ (ROFL) administration of Corporatist PUPPET Barack Obaa’ma has intervened in the case against former Bush legal advisor, John Yoo, the man who LEGITIMISED TORTURE (for God’s sake) and left an indelible stain on a once proud and MORAL nation! The US had an opportunity to demonstrate to the world that it was serious about criminal reform in high office but lost out to the rancorous, corrupt ruling elite that control Washington.
