 Germany and Israel form new alliance
quin, Saturday, Mar 15 2008, 8:51am
Fresh from its very active role in the destruction of Yugoslavia and its involvement with rebel forces in the Serbian province of Kosovo, Germany now pipes a very familiar tune in the Middle East. In what appears to be a very odd historical twist, fascist Germany now pledges allegiance to Nazi Israel – but is anyone really surprised? (story and 1 comment)

 Living my own private Fascism
dada, Friday, Mar 14 2008, 11:18pm
Caught myself roaming the conservative side of my personality one afternoon – confronting the effects of rigorous toilet training is fascinating! The strangest thoughts began to overwhelm me but they were somehow alluring, intoxicating in a distinctively pathological way, so I let them flow – can YOU hear the sound of one jackboot marching?

Squinting at the Sun
gan, Friday, Mar 14 2008, 8:11pm
The efforts of America and its allies to demonise people and nations that assert their sovereignty and rights are often foiled by poignant reminders of reality. Truth jolts us back into stark reality and forces us to face our collective humanity. (story and 1 image)

“Free market” zealots bring death to America
Paul Craig Roberts via rialator, Thursday, Mar 13 2008, 7:23pm
March 12. Crude oil for April delivery hit $110 per barrel. The US dollar fell to a new low against the Euro. It now takes $1.55 to purchase one Euro. These new highs against the dollar are the ongoing story of the collapse of the US dollar as world reserve currency and corresponding collapse of American power.

Ramos-Horta and a grain of salt
Kingfisher, Wednesday, Mar 12 2008, 9:52pm
Today’s international newswire is alive with the scripted account of the ‘gunman who shot the president;’ from Ramos-Horta’s own mouth no less! Surely that should convince everyone -- the Australians and Americans are hoping. (story and 1 comment and 1 image)

British colonialism meets PNAC
Liliana Segura via reed, Tuesday, Mar 11 2008, 11:29pm
British Foreign Secretary David Miliband issued an embarrassing apology to members of Parliament last month. Despite "earlier explicit assurances" to the contrary, he admitted, two planes carrying prisoners of the U.S. "war on terror" had landed on the British-owned island of Diego Garcia in 2002 before flying to foreign territory as part of the American extraordinary rendition program.

Pope Ratzinger competes with Dalai Lama

Following hot on the heels of the Dalai Lama’s flagrant, hypocritical, political pursuits against China, the Catholic Pope – who gets by with a helping ‘hand’ from his friends – has updated the seven deadly sins.

War Crimes Trial Begins for Croatian General Who Worked With Americans
Marlise Simons via rialator, Tuesday, Mar 11 2008, 7:27pm
PARIS — A popular Croatian general who led a brutal operation that drove the Serbs out of Eastern Croatia near the end of the Balkans war went on trial in The Hague on Tuesday for war crimes and crimes against humanity. Gen. Ante Gotovina, working closely with American advisers, was the commander of a military campaign in the summer of 1995 that put an end to the Serbian occupation of Eastern Croatia and forced more than 150,000 Serbs to flee towns and villages where they had lived for generations.

Balkans at crisis point
dusan, Monday, Mar 10 2008, 10:35pm
Washington and its western allies are shitting themselves over the prospect of Serbia asserting its inalienable right over its territories after the formation of a new Serbian government. Whether the west chooses to label Serbs nationalists, liberals, hardliners or brigands is irrelevant – Serbs will never give up Kosovo! Try and understand it is impossible to give up what makes you what you are! Even the thought of losing Kosovo fills Serbs with shame and intolerable humiliation.

The Dalai Lama’s religious hypocrisy equals the best of the West
finch, Monday, Mar 10 2008, 9:45am
Fresh from receiving honours and a gold medal from the world’s most brazen mass murderer and torturer, George W Bush, the exiled Dalai Lama of Tibet has begun another round of China-bashing, which he obviously timed for the approaching Beijing Olympics. Why they call this man a religious leader is beyond rational comprehension. The Dalai Lama today is 100% political and could care less which devil he sleeps with in order to achieve his goals!

Digital underbelly of the World
Kismo, Sunday, Mar 9 2008, 10:15am
The crews laugh at times at the lack of expertise displayed by western government agencies in the area of IT security. The Internet belongs to those with the greatest level of skill and there is no shortage of it ‘out there’ – crews, teams and individuals -- but sadly very little real talent ‘in there,’ moronic government agencies and corporations. No real hacker could tolerate an office/fixed environment for more then a day or so! It is the nature of the beast and the environment in which it lives.

Take a good look at my face!
nano, Saturday, Mar 8 2008, 7:41pm
Propaganda has largely replaced news in the modern world; this is particularly the case with regimes that flout law, civil liberties and humanitarian issues. Occasionally the news cannot be manipulated contorted or dressed in fine lies to make it palatable. This is the case with torture. (story and 1 comment)

Serb leader quits over Kosovo

Doodle dandy out of intellectual depth in Europe
zoran, Friday, Mar 7 2008, 8:53pm
Daniel Fried, the US assistant secretary of state for European affairs, is definitely an American and has the ‘intellectual ability’ to prove it. Addressing the press in the Serbian province of Kosovo, Fried said, “[Kosovo] independence is a fact. This is a reality. History is only going to move forward!" [My emphasis]
Temporal, philosophical, historical and general intellectual incompetence aside for the moment; Fried’s staggeringly stupid comment clearly exhibits the agitation experienced in Washington over the mess it has created in the Balkans! (story and 2 comments)

The two winners of the 2008 presidential election: fear and war
Larry Chin via reed, Friday, Mar 7 2008, 7:09am
The 2008 US presidential charade has already been decided. Come November, the next White House occupant (who will be installed via political malfeasance, computer vote theft and other election “irregularities”) will be the puppet who proves to be the most effective in echoing Bush-Cheney’s “war on terrorism” lies, and expanding the Bush-Cheney “national security” agenda.

Of Fleas and Rodents
dingo, Thursday, Mar 6 2008, 5:06am
Hard reality hasn’t deterred our lying little rodent, John Howard. Addressing a conservative ‘think tank’ in Washington Howard slammed the Rudd government for reversing his economic policies and labour ‘reforms.’ The ‘small matter’ of the largest foreign debt in Australia’s history -- incurred under Howard and Costello -- was conveniently ignored by our lying rodent, Johnny. Here’s a taste of REALITY Mr Howard – $610 BILLION hangs over the head of the nation like a guillotine thanks to you and Costello! Who do you trust, indeed, you reprehensible LIAR!

NATO/EU hypocrisy and the demonisation of Serbs
Ljiljana Smajlovic via rialator, Wednesday, Mar 5 2008, 7:30am
BELGRADE, Serbia -- As editor-in-chief of Serbia's oldest and most prestigious daily newspaper, Politika, I am at a loss to explain the West's stubborn support for Kosovo independence to my readers. Only nine years ago, my country was bombed for 78 days by the most powerful military alliance the world has ever seen, and the last thing I want is to pour oil over the fire of anti-Western sentiment. But the truth is, I find myself grappling with the same bitterness and resentment as most of my countrymen. (story and 2 comments)

A “lucid” Ramos-Horta calls for investigation
finn, Monday, Mar 3 2008, 10:21pm
It is clear from the few statements made by the now conscious Ramos-Horta that he either has no recollection (prolonged induced coma) of events surrounding his shooting or he has been fed erroneous information. The possibility he has been coerced also remains high. (story and 1 comment and 1 image)
