Obama ‘blah, blah’ chirp American Newswires ..
harley, Wednesday, Feb 3 2010, 9:05pm
In dread and/or denial U.S. newswires continue to treat Obama as if he’s an independent thinking person/leader of some sort – are you people for real? Laugh, cry or whatever, but it’s painfully clear, Obama is completely subservient to the powers that placed him in office. The neo-con agenda hasn’t missed a beat, and you wonder why the world doesn’t take you seriously anymore. Enough of this Obama ‘blah, blah,’ as if he’s something other than a SHAMELESS, black lackey, errand boy, house slave, puppet, for corporate vested interests and entrenched financial elites!

 “It’s just a shot away”
ryall, Tuesday, Feb 2 2010, 9:36am
It is with profound unease informed Aussies react to the news of Barack Obama’s planned visit to Oz in late March. We are a rough, racist, xenophobic culture down here and many misinterpret our coarse manner and humour at times, I refer to tongue in cheek references of al-Qaeda snipers nested in Sydney’s Opera House waiting for Hillary Clinton’s visit, which was abruptly cancelled using the Haiti earthquake as an excuse. However, Obama’s visit is a far more serious matter, especially in the context of his complete inability to deliver on any of his pre-election promises and his overt perpetuation of neo-con policies. Obama is now despised by both sides of politics – a very unenviable position indeed! (story and 1 image and 2 audio files)

Secret Banking Cabal Emerges From AIG Shadows
David Reilly via reed, Monday, Feb 1 2010, 7:50am
The idea of secret banking cabals that control the country and global economy are a given among conspiracy theorists who stockpile ammo, bottled water and peanut butter. After this week’s congressional hearing into the bailout of American International Group Inc., you have to wonder if those folks are crazy after all. (story and 2 images)

US Courts complicit in 'war on terror' Profiteering

In late January, the Justice Department's Office of the Inspector General released a report that provided startling new details on illegal operations by the FBI's Communications Analysis Unit (CAU) and America's grifting telecoms.

FOX rated No.1 ‘News’ Channel in US!
fleet, Saturday, Jan 30 2010, 9:22pm
Slightly over 1,000 Americans surveyed, in a population approaching three hundred million, rated FOX News, ‘most trusted’ news outlet with a 50%-plus, approval rating; a figure well above the nearest competitor, CNN, with a 39% approval rating. The reason for Murdoch’s apparent success is plain to see – Murdoch completely dumped the charade of impartiality and deliberately wooed a partisan audience with the most biased and twisted commentary imaginable – so what’s the problem? People forget that News and the media are BUSINESSES, ie CORPORATE ENTITIES designed to turn a buck above ALL other considerations, TRUTH has little to do with it unless it happens to support an existing policy direction.

Blair REVEALS true nature at CHILCOT
quill, Friday, Jan 29 2010, 9:42pm
Proven War Criminal, Tony Blair, is presently performing before the Chilcot inquiry -- a non-legal, toothless entity/inquiry designed to placate growing public anger regarding the clearly illegal Iraq invasion and subsequent CIVILIAN HOLOCAUST. A holocaust that was initiated by Blair, Bush and Howard – the coalition of willing criminals AND the nefarious Corporate interests behind them! (story and 6 comments)

Out of Sync with the masses of the world
quin, Thursday, Jan 28 2010, 8:42pm
Predictably, the Corporatist mass media is desperately saturating the airwaves with a ‘new’ strategy to win an UNWINNABLE war in Afghanistan. Over 60 puppet political leaders met in London yesterday to demonstrate and make public a show of unity on extending the occupation/war in Afghanistan! The entire media exercise was designed to legitimise a continuing presence in South Asia and convince a very wary public that the ‘new strategy,’ of “re-integration” would work. However, the London charade was/is as transparent as a pair of whore’s knickers! (story and 2 comments)

A Tribute to Howard Zinn
cleaves, Wednesday, Jan 27 2010, 10:25pm
American Historian and Activist, Howard Zinn, died of a heart attack in California yesterday aged 87. Everybody dies but its how you live that counts and Howard, an outstanding character and man of INTEGRITY, lived it well, very well indeed. He never let them live it down. For a bloody yank you did alright, ol’ mate! RIP Howard Zinn. Until the next round, enjoy a well earned rest. (story and 1 comment and 1 image)

The world’s leading civilian killing nation, AMERICA, admits DEFEAT in South Asia!
gan, Wednesday, Jan 27 2010, 8:40am
Afghanistan promises to be the first of a series of defeats in store for mass murdering, criminal, BROKEN, America. Regardless of the badly camouflaged, face-saving talk of “re-integration,” ‘power sharing,’ with avowed enemies the Taliban, REALITY dictates America has been squarely DEFEATED!

The Iraq Holocaust and the American Farce
bagger, Monday, Jan 25 2010, 6:44pm
Figures over one million are sketchy but at least one million INNOCENT CIVILIANS have been killed as a DIRECT result of the ILLEGAL, pre-emptive, US-led INVASION of Iraq – based on LIES! STEADY as we go! Newswires today are ‘alive’ with reports of the execution in Iraq of Saddam’s cousin, ‘Chemical Ali,’ who is responsible for killing TENS of thousands of innocent Kurds – no disputing that estimate. According to American death penalty standards justice has been served in Iraq, RIGHT? The WORLD now waits IMPATIENTLY for the TRIAL of HOLOCAUST perpetrators Richard Cheney, George W Bush, Tony Blair, John Howard and their senior staff on charges of mass murder and other crimes against humanity – AND THERE IS NO ESCAPING THE FACTS!

Obama Roundly Condemned by American Intellectuals
harley, Sunday, Jan 24 2010, 8:53pm
American intellectuals have added their voice to the rapidly growing chorus of condemnation directed at President ‘Hope and Change!’ Obama is now choking on his previous promises and pledges. Maintaining the status quo for Corporatists and acquiescing to Pentagon Militarists could hardly be described as ‘Change;’ notwithstanding that escalating WAR is the most HOPE-LESS human endeavour imaginable!

US Policy: ‘on the nose’ more than ever
wisp, Saturday, Jan 23 2010, 8:37am
In badly co-ordinated policy and propaganda presentations, reminiscent of US intelligence agency bungles, Secretary of State Mrs Clinton presented a speech extolling the virtues of uncensored freedom of expression in the digital world while her fearless, corporate puppet leader Obaa’ma implemented what is termed, ‘Cognitive Infiltration;’ which is a strategy designed to directly interfere and subvert individuals or groups deemed to be 'conspiracy theorists,' (CTs) notwithstanding Clinton's inferred claim that conspiracy whackos have as much right to free expression as anyone else, Barack!

Life Imitates Bad Sci-Fi Movie

A completely servile US president is currently distracting the public with intimations of (Bank) reform while minority ruling ELITES pull off another MAJOR COUP – you dumb, anaesthetised, DISTRACTED fuck’s – no apologies! The US Supreme Court has just handed down a decision allowing ‘Corporate Entities’ the same rights under the First Amendment as living citizens; which effectively allows CORPORATISTS to buy government, and by extension, the LEGISLATIVE PROCESS or LAW! ‘Say goodbye to ‘Hollywood,’ nightmare fantasy has just become REALITY!

Disasters are Big Business
William Bowles via stan, Friday, Jan 22 2010, 1:13pm
I am staggered. There are 10,000 ‘NGOs’ (Non-Governmental Organizations) in Haiti, one for every 900 inhabitants and each one of them has no doubt at least one Westerner working within, yet aside from the Cuban health workers, it seems they could do nothing until the gringos arrived with their Blackhawks and nuclear-tipped aircraft carrier and of course, the 82nd Airborne, paying yet another ‘visit’ to this benighted and super-exploited land to ’secure’ the place for the locust storm of aid to come (too late for too many).

Obama: ‘neither cold nor hot ..’
fish, Thursday, Jan 21 2010, 9:48pm
The title refers to a radical Christian text that almost didn’t make into the New Testament, I would add here that what is NEW and reformed makes redundant and OBSOLETE what is OLD, referring to Jewish teaching in the OLD Testament. In other words all direction and guidance for Christians is to be obtained from the New Testament, as is clearly indicated in Hebrews 8:13 -- but to the advice couched in REVELATION 3: 15-16.
