 A Whiff of Real Democracy
dasha, Thursday, Nov 17 2011, 8:50am
For a very brief moment, the world got a passing whiff of real democracy but it was only a tantalising taste of hope. Greek PM, George Papandreou, under huge pressure from Europe's Central Bankers to impose severe austerity measures on his nation, threatened to take the issue to the people of Greece in a real democratic referendum. Well, Banking and Financial elites nearly died of shock. (story and 1 comment and 1 image)

 Australian Sovereignty Relinquished by Gillard Government
nano, Wednesday, Nov 16 2011, 10:37am
The Australian nation and regional neighbours have been dealt a severe and insulting slap in the face by America today. US president Barack Obama announced to a joint sitting of Parliament that the US military will be a permanent feature on Australian soil – the Australian people were NOT given the opportunity to decide on this critical issue.

2500 US marines on Australian soil for starters -- thin end of the wedge
Captain, Wednesday, Nov 16 2011, 1:05am
Regardless of how the Corporate controlled media present this catastrophe, Australia, thanks to servile Juliar Gillard, is now a primary nuclear target. Puppet US president Obama, today confirmed that US troops will be permanently stationed in Australia. But softly, softly, slowly, slowly, is the approach, we certainly wouldn't want the average Aussie to become aware that China has been forced to re-align some of its nuclear armed ICBMs at Australia, thanks America!

A Forgotten REAL HERO of OUR TIME -- Bradley Manning
flame, Monday, Nov 14 2011, 11:22pm
Bradley Manning, a diminutive, homosexual, GIANT of a MAN and PRISONER of CONSCIENCE has more guts, character and fortitude than all the straight amphetamine-soaked, MORON grunts killing civilians for the Bankers and Corporations in the many DISHONOURABLE wars raging today; I am a veteran and know of what I speak.

Central Banking Cartel Colonising Europe
Adrian Salbuchi via sal, Monday, Nov 14 2011, 12:31am
Elite Banking cartels and Corporatists colonise in two distinct ways -- 'hard,' as in regime change, kill and bomb the fuck out of everything, Iraq and Libya style, or 'soft,' as expressed so disgustingly by Australia's servile prime minister, Juliar Gillard. When questioned about the FIVE new US military bases of occupation she signed for while in Washington, she replied, "we are [she is] enthusiastic," about becoming an occupied US colony WITH A PERMANENT FOREIGN TROOP PRESENCE and having our natural wealth plundered by rapacious Transnationals -- we keep the beer and wine flowing, the personal debt burgeoning and the sports rolling to handle the apathetic population who derive no benefit whatsoever from the wealth that is being STOLEN from under their complacent noses!

The Most Dangerous Video on Youtube
p(h)ill, Sunday, Nov 13 2011, 8:09am
Unlike the corporate orchestrated, designed to do nothing, 'Occupy (static) movement,' this effort, in stark contrast, is the most creative, radical and entertaining piece of semiotic activism I've seen in years. Well done, everyone involved!
Note the clever semantic inversions and how the mainstream disease is used to immunise instead of terrorise -- it's a form of semiotic vaccination protecting you from further infection. Enjoy!

America: Global Hegemony or Bust!
gus, Saturday, Nov 12 2011, 8:30am
With only a few impotent mutterings of opposition from Russia and China, the USA races UNCHALLENGED toward Global hegemony. Reports have emerged from the APEC summit in Hawaii that the eunuch leaders of China and Russia, both internationally known for their cowardly tail between legs retreat from the Balkans (abandoning traditional ally Yugoslavia in the process) now seem to be "stunned" or surprised by America’s push for Global hegemony. What did they expect? Their feeble protestations today are hardly believable given the known past. (story and 1 comment)

Radiation Detected Across Europe
Lee Ferran via stele, Saturday, Nov 12 2011, 12:27am
The hunt is on for the source of low level radiation detected in the atmosphere "across Europe" over the past weeks, nuclear officials said today. Trace amounts of iodine-131, a type of radiation created during the operation of nuclear reactors or in the detonation of a nuclear weapon, were detected as early as three weeks ago by Austrian authorities and then two weeks ago by the Czech Republic's State Office for Nuclear Safety. Today the International Atomic Energy Agency released a statement revealing similar detections had been made "in other locations across Europe." (story and 1 image)

Do you seek confirmation or the Truth regarding Australia's 'soft colony' status to the USA? Well here it is, from 'our' custard faced Foreign Minister's own custard-filled mouth:
Foreign Minister Kevin 'vanilla' Rudd urges patience regarding the FIVE new full scale US military bases PM Gillard approved during her requested visit to Washington. (story and 2 comments and 2 images)

Obama to either be Arrested or Shot while visiting Australia
major mitchell, Thursday, Nov 10 2011, 9:01am
According to unconfirmed reports US puppet president Barack Obama faces arrest or possible assassination when he sets foot on Oz soil in November. Since he (officially) approved an illegal Drone strike on Pakistan in 2009, which killed numerous civilians including women and children, Obama has earned the status of war criminal; and REGARDLESS of whether corrupt international authorities choose to pursue him or not, International Laws remain unaltered and are therefore enforceable!

Whose Wars?
Captain, Tuesday, Nov 8 2011, 9:07pm
Veterans have first hand experience of the horror and crimes of war; they know the TRUTH behind the LIES and propaganda of State – the mass murder, wanton destruction and resource appropriation. However, most veterans choose, for reasons of guilt and shame, to remain silent, nonetheless, some BRAVE and HONOURABLE soul-diers choose to speak out and tell it like it is:
“I did not serve my country in Iraq; I served the 1%. It was on their behalf that I helped lay siege to Fallujah [Dresden, Hiroshima, Hanoi, Kandahar, Sirte etc], I helped kill thousands of civilians, helped displace hundreds of thousands of innocent people, and helped destroy entire cities. My ‘service’ served the interests of Exxon-Mobil, Halliburton/KBR, Blackwater, and other multinational corporations in Iraq [and other war zones].” (story and 1 comment)

Lackey Oz Politicians Force Unwanted Carbon Tax on Australia
bluey, Monday, Nov 7 2011, 11:17pm
This is not a failure of Democracy it is a failure of Constitutional LAW! How is it possible that the most UNREPRESENTATIVE and reviled PM Oz has ever known, Juliar Gillard, a flagrant lackey to Goldman Sachs/Banking and minority Corporatist elites; the most coarse politician in Parliament together with the leader of the Greens, Bob Brown, a KNOWN SODOMIST -- representing who, social deviants (?) -- IMPOSE a detested Carbon Tax on the PEOPLE. We should never forget the cogent words of INDUSTRY; "ALL ADDITIONAL COSTS WILL BE PASSED ONTO THE PEOPLE/CONSUMERS." That means the average person -- and NO ONE ELSE -- ends up ‘SADDLED’ with this crucifying PENALTY TAX! (story and 1 image)

China getting its 'yellow' ass kicked around the World by US/NATO
gan, Monday, Nov 7 2011, 7:06am
I guess the old adage is true, China is a nation of subservient cowardly slaves. The US made it plain after intentionally targeting the Chinese embassy in Belgrade and murdering a number of Chinese nationals -- could you imagine the outcry if the situation had been reversed (?) Bill Clinton's smirk gave the game away in Belgrade and China ran like the YELLOW, COWARDLY DOG that it is! The best response China could manage was a military parade -- I bet that must've really 'terrified' the US! (story and 1 image)

CIA Now Killing on Suspicion – the next stage is Thought Crime
nano, Sunday, Nov 6 2011, 12:13am
After the WORLD passively accepted the normalisation of ‘humanitarian’ MURDER, and was seen by the global population (including Russia and China) to PASSIVELY TOLERATE the most heinous crimes against humanity in Libya; the CIA has naturally moved onto the next devolutionary stage of its downward criminal spiral to hell, with targeted Drone killings based on SUSPICION! [I can hardly believe I am recording these verifiable events for the historical record. However, since the UN sanctioned murder of upward of 30,000 Libyans and the revolting extra-judicial killing/State sponsored assassination, of former leader Muammar Gaddafi by NATO/US forces, we really shouldn’t be surprised at the rapidity of moral decay and social disintegration which is occurring before our eyes!] (story and 1 image)
