 How easily are the masses duped?
finch, Sunday, Apr 26 2009, 2:06am
Obama sees a “glimmer of hope” in the toilet-bowl economy – LIE! But we are expected to believe that codswallop and that things (invasive wars and financial blowout) are on the improve when in fact nothing could be further from the truth. The LIES emanating from the White House today are indistinguishable from those of the previous regime’s harlequin team, Cheney and Rice, only this time the Secretary of State is white!

Indigenous Australians declare Sovereignty
budgie, Friday, Apr 24 2009, 11:34pm
Before reporting on the declaration of sovereignty by the Kaurna people, one of the tribal groups indigenous to South Australia, I would like to put this action and many other evolutionary actions occurring around the globe in the context of OUR times. (story and 2 comments and 2 images)

The Alexander Solution!

When faced with the very symbolic and problematic maze of the Gordian Knot, Alexander the Great (supreme commander) did not follow the prescribed path but CUT the most DIRECT PATH through the problem and won the prize! (story and 2 images)

Avoid it [torture] like the plague!
major mitchell, Thursday, Apr 23 2009, 9:32am
Report it briefly but do not pursue the issue or dwell on it in any way; such are the policy directives from the West’s mass media outlets. The public must not be allowed to dwell on Obama’s MASSIVE FAILURE to redeem the Nation and the Presidency from its sordid and criminal (very recent) past. (story and 2 comments and 1 image)

 Disadvantage vs Advantage
Captain, Tuesday, Apr 21 2009, 9:56pm
All political strategists know that when disadvantage outweighs advantage it becomes IMPERATIVE to alter course or change policy. In the case of boy president, Obama, the real ruling executive has a MAJOR problem. Obama’s failure to pursue TORTURE charges – a UNIVERSALLY DESPISED crime – is threatening to subvert what remains of any influence or credibility the U.S. may have in the world today. It simply is IMPOSSIBLE to IGNORE or DENY TORTURE! Yet former CIA chiefs and a former VP, (guess who?) have publicly extolled the ‘virtues’ of torture – ABSOLUTE LUNACY! The pure dissociated insanity of it all and the ensuing negative impact are creating ‘unhelpful’ circumstances for the USA – understatement of the century! (story and 1 comment)

 Melbourne hosts Cult Conman
numbat, Monday, Apr 20 2009, 11:59am
There should be a law against stupidity but then America would be a prison nation – it does in fact have the largest prison population in the world! I raise this issue prior to launching into a travelling con artist, known as David Icke. This man subscribes to the theory that lizard people rule the world! If you think that is crazy what would you think of people that actually pay to hear this con artist speak? We believe a post-'lecture' DVD pack will soon be available for a mere $50 -- who needs the Golden Fleece when it is easier to fleece the dumb Australian public? ‘There’s one born every minute’ or my favourite quote for these occasions; “Never underestimate the power of human stupidity” – Robert Heinlein.

Tamil civilians slaughtered as army shells 'no-fire zone'
Gethin Chamberlain via fleet, Sunday, Apr 19 2009, 6:59am
[De-sensitisation to the suffering of others comes, as does everything, at a price. Callousness rots our very soul; we lose a little bit of what makes life worth living each time we ignore the plight of our fellow human beings. Have you noticed how Western populations long for an end to their misery?

Bush, Cheney and the Boys could be Indicted under US Law
George Washington's Blog, Saturday, Apr 18 2009, 6:27am
The War Crimes Act of 1996, a federal statute set forth at 18 U.S.C. § 2441, makes it a federal crime for any U.S. national, whether military or civilian, to violate the Geneva Convention by engaging in murder, torture, or inhuman treatment.

“They [American torturers] will not be subject to prosecution”
nano, Thursday, Apr 16 2009, 11:11pm
Torture is acceptable and known torturers are protected in the USA; that is the very clear message delivered to the world by boy ‘president,’ Barack Obama! If ever there was a time to fear history that time is now, you pathetic, little, no account, slave! Even the bleeding ‘progressive’ hearts have nothing to run with now! Continuity we can believe in; slave status CONFIRMED; full steam ahead with the status quo and ‘it’s all over now, star-spangled blue!’ [THE CONSTITUTION MUST PREVAIL; CAPABLE PEOPLE ARE AUTOMATICALLY (LEGALLY) COMMISSIONED TO SAVE THE NATION! Be advised you scurrilous criminals, you are KNOWN and you are ACCESSIBLE! JUSTICE WILL PREVAIL; you can bet your vile lives on that!] (story and 1 comment and 1 image)

Anthrax Lab linked to Thermite particles discovered at Ground Zero

A recent article published in the respected peer-reviewed Open Chemical Physics Journal by nine noted scientists offers incontrovertible proof that the dust from the Twin Towers and Building Seven of the World Trade Center contains small intact samples of Thermite. (story and 1 comment)

Federal Authority Over the Internet? The Cybersecurity Act of 2009
Jennifer Granick via Kismo, Wednesday, Apr 15 2009, 10:50am
There's a new bill working its way through Congress that is cause for some alarm: the Cybersecurity Act of 2009, introduced by Senators Jay Rockefeller (D-WV) and Olympia Snowe (R-ME). The bill as it exists now risks giving the federal government unprecedented power over the Internet without necessarily improving security in the ways that matter most. It should be opposed or radically amended.

DHS report: blaming the victim

There was movement at the station, the monopoly had got away!
finch, Tuesday, Apr 14 2009, 12:32am
Is your favourite media outlet relentlessly pursuing KNOWN, SELF-CONFESSED, and other (proven) WAR CRIMINALS? NO! Then it’s not acting in the PUBLIC INTEREST! REAL journalism acts as society’s CONSCIENCE; it does not compromise in its pursuit of KNOWN war criminals until justice is served – has JUSTICE been served yet? (story and 1 image)

Aussie military advisor subverts USA from within!
Captain, Monday, Apr 13 2009, 1:47am
David Kilcullen, favourite Aussie advisor to the Pentagon and Congress, has finally done it! By telling the idiot yanks exactly what they wanted to hear, Kilcullen has facilitated the demise of America by allowing Pakistan to fall into the hands of (Pashtun) tribals and affording Afghani freedom fighters the time and freedom to RE-GROUP, EXPAND and mount DEVASTATING ATTACKS on foreign occupiers -- we won’t mention the lost Pacific, SE Asia and Africa, but you’ve got to laugh at the ‘effort’ so far!

Earth Changes according to Edgar Cayce
quill, Sunday, Apr 12 2009, 8:03am
Edgar Cayce needs no introduction for those sensitive to life and its greater meaning. Humankind has unfortunately failed itself; it failed to learn two simple lessons, brotherly Love and Peace! The USA leads the world today in mass murder, plunder, selfishness, crime and all manner of vile pursuits. Those who follow will share in the 'reward!'
I leave you with some interesting predictions. (story and 4 images)

"They should arrest Obama for impersonating a President"
Ted Rall via rialator, Friday, Apr 10 2009, 8:06pm
America is a nation of laws -- laws enforced by Spain.
John Yoo, Jay Bybee, David Addington, Alberto Gonzales, William Haynes and Douglas Feith wrote, authorized and promulgated the Justice Department "torture memos" that the Bush Administration used for legal cover. After World War II, German lawyers for the Ministry of Justice went to prison for similar actions. (story and 1 comment and 1 image and 1 attached file)

Leigh Sales, the CIA agenda and Lateline Australia

Before we mention exactly how the producer of ‘our ABC’s’ Lateline, Tim Palmer, ‘acquired’ his Tertiary qualifications from UTS -- did you think for a minute the ‘assistance’ extended you by extremely accommodating lecturers (particularly Kurt B) went unnoticed (?) -- we would draw attention to the current servile relationship the Rudd government has with a nation that has a history of pressuring our ‘leaders’ to comply with their every demand, no matter how insane, impossible or downright idiotic.
