Fukushima #3 nuclear reactor Explodes, situation under control, Really?
staff report via gan, Sunday, Mar 13 2011, 11:17pm
I'm no double-talking politician or conservative scientist under political pressure, ALL I KNOW is WHAT I SEE and explosions do not indicate a situation 'under control!' Furthermore, the presence of poisonous radioactive Cesium in the atmosphere after the first explosion is a clear indication -- I have recently learned -- of a CORE MELTDOWN, but that was under-emphasised/reported at the time as is this latest 'trivial' explosion at Dai-ichi reactor #3, in one of the World's LARGEST nuclear power plants!

There is NO excuse or justification for TORTURE, Obama

Australia’s leading Academic Advocate for a Carbon Tax – NOT qualified!
nano, Thursday, Mar 10 2011, 9:06pm
Professor Ross Garnaut has been leading the push for a carbon economy for some time, however, opposition Senator Nick Minchin revealed to the public that Garnaut is a Professor of ECONOMICS (what!) -- makes sense to me and carbon tax originators, GOLDMAN SACHS -- but it sure blows a hole in Garnaut’s credibility on the issue.

Gillard grovels with relish in her speech to Congress
snowy, Thursday, Mar 10 2011, 9:05am
In an unparalleled performance of complete subservience and subordination, Oz PM Julia Gillard, committed HERSELF (thankfully, she was not speaking for the majority of Aussies) to ALL America’s CRIMINAL wars without reservation. She indirectly praised the ideology of Wall St and the Federal Reserve system, which has ruined the global economy – a ‘minor’ detail for a sycophant -- and generally sucked even harder than Catherine the Great in her address to a joint-session of Congress.

Assange: the Price of Infamy
Kismo, Wednesday, Mar 9 2011, 11:18pm
I couldn’t help but publish this amusing excerpt from an article by Sergei Varshavchik, in RIA Novosti, titled, “Saving Private Assange” – ‘saving Assange’s privates,’ may have been more appropriate considering his current legal predicament; however, it seems ‘glamour boy’ Assange is griping bitterly over the fact that director Steven Spielberg, a very pro-American Jew, is ignoring Assange’s own biased memoirs in favour of other biased accounts from The Guardian team, in order to produce yet another biased account in movie form; in literary circles it's called ‘metafiction!’ Perhaps now Assange may learn the value of ANONYMITY in his profession – roflmfao?

Censorship addicted Oz LABOR government – have WE had enough yet?
dasha, Wednesday, Mar 9 2011, 9:36pm
The latest PATERNALISTIC, unnecessary, social intervention by Gillard’s -- the most unpopular Labor Government in Australian history -- emanates from yet another anal Labor minister who wishes to apply the RC ‘refused classification’ category, a Stephen Conroy invented euphemism for overt CENSORSHIP, to smartphone apps – what next? Give the Oz public a break and just piss off, or cop a hiding at the elections that would go down in history.

Michael Moore addresses the ‘whipped-dog,’ moronic, paralysed, AMERICAN masses
Michael Moore via stan, Sunday, Mar 6 2011, 8:58pm
Contrary to what those in power would like you to believe so that you'll give up your pension, cut your wages, and settle for the life your great-grandparents had, America is not broke. Not by a long shot. The country is awash in wealth and cash. It's just that it's not in your hands. It has been transferred, in the greatest heist in history, from the workers and consumers to the banks and the portfolios of the uber-rich. (story and 2 images)

Western Media Blackout on Second National day of Rage in Iraq
Dirk Adriaensens via stele, Saturday, Mar 5 2011, 6:59pm
It will soon become apparent to the entire WORLD, regardless of all the feeble attempts by the western media to suppress the Truth of over one million civilian deaths, a HOLOCAUST by definition, 5 million displaced persons and a ruined state.
The West's attempts to Balkanise Iraq -- fragment a single nation into numerous, powerless statelettes for easier 'management' -- HAVE FAILED, as the IRAQI PEOPLE realise their only hope for future peace, stability and PROSPERITY is UNITY of will and purpose.
The Iraqi people today vigorously oppose all corruption, puppet government, geographic and social divisions within their nation and will continue to RESIST until ALL FOREIGN CRIMINAL INVADERS have been removed from THEIR traditional lands.
Be advised all western occupying criminal forces responsible for numerous war and other crimes committed against the Iraqi people that your days in Iraq are numbered! (story and 1 image)
