 WAR is IMMINENT
Ned, Wednesday, Jan 20 2010, 10:19pm
A lesson taken directly from that superb treatise, The Art of War, states that a weaker opponent defeats the stronger by exploiting (reversing) the enemy’s strengths while simultaneously exploiting its weaknesses, a lesson the US clearly failed to learn/heed!

A Very American Coup
William J. Astore via fran, Wednesday, Jan 20 2010, 7:38pm
Here’s a bit of cheery news: Last week, Secretary of Defense Robert Gates met with the nation's top defense company executives, including the CEOs of those mega-military-industrial combines Lockheed Martin and Boeing, and called for a “closer partnership.” He also made them a promise. He pledged, according to his spokesman, “to work with the White House to secure steady growth in the Pentagon's budgets over time.

 ICC Complaint Filed Against Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Tenet, Rice, Gonzales
Prof. Francis A. Boyle via teale, Wednesday, Jan 20 2010, 6:34pm
Professor Francis A. Boyle of the University of Illinois College of Law in Champaign, U.S.A. has filed a Complaint with the Prosecutor for the International Criminal Court (I.C.C.) in The Hague against U.S. citizens George W. Bush, Richard Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, George Tenet, Condoleezza Rice, and Alberto Gonzales (the “Accused”) for their criminal policy and practice of “extraordinary rendition” perpetrated upon about 100 human beings. This term is really their euphemism for the enforced disappearance of persons and their consequent torture. This criminal policy and practice by the Accused constitute Crimes against Humanity in violation of the Rome Statute establishing the I.C.C. (story and 1 image)

The inevitability of an Israeli attack on Iran
birdie, Monday, Jan 18 2010, 8:55am
America imagines it is able to deter or indeed prevent Israel from attacking heavily fortified nuclear facilities in Iran. Another fantasy to which Americans are particularly susceptible! The fear Israelis have of Iran and its current holocaust-denying leader must be experienced first hand in order to appreciate that an attack is almost inevitable.

Survival needs dictate tactics for Somali 'pirates'
staff report via skip, Sunday, Jan 17 2010, 10:14pm
The combined navies of the West and now China patrol pirate infested waters off the East coast of Africa but to no avail it seems. Tanker Captains have altered course to avoid capture yet desperate Somali fisherman, deprived of their traditional livelihood, have extended their range and have captured ships approximately 2K miles from the coast! A record ransom of $7m was recently paid for the release of the Greek flag tanker, Maran Centaurus! (story and 1 image)

Three Criminal Puppet Presidents
stan, Sunday, Jan 17 2010, 11:00am
Three civilian killing, overtly criminal US Presidents have today formed a triumvirate of 'aid relief,' and what a gut-turning (fraudulent) sight they make! Regardless of the desperate attempts by the Corporatist mass media to portray these mass murderers as benevolent human beings, history and recent memory paints a very different, blood-drenched picture!

Criminally Complicit Mass Media
Media Lens via stan, Saturday, Jan 16 2010, 6:14pm
Ignoring or downplaying Western crimes is a standard feature of the corporate Western media. On rare occasions when a broadcaster or newspaper breaks ranks and reports 'our' crimes honestly, it is instructive to observe the response from the rest of the media. Do they follow suit, perhaps digging deeper for details, devoting space to profiles of the victims and interviews with grieving relatives, humanising all concerned? Do they put the crimes in perspective as the inevitable consequence of rapacious Western power? Or do they look away?

Clinton ‘Reconsiders’ Oz Visit

According to the US State Department, Hillary Clinton has decided to cancel her military upgrade and consolidation tour of lackey Pacific nations and ‘attend’ to the Haiti earthquake tragedy instead. We only hope America does a better job with the Haiti disaster than it did with Katrina! (story and 2 images)

Anti-Missile defence: China responds to American Provocation

China tested, demonstrated rather, its anti-missile defence technology after the belligerent, expansionist USA armed CORRUPT KMT elements in Taiwan with an unspecified number of US Patriot missiles, which of course would also be available for an AMERICAN attack on China!

Community Co-ops are only hope for the future
Sena Christian via zed, Monday, Jan 11 2010, 9:15pm
The most viable and efficient social model for an uncertain future (and failing present) is the mutually assisting, co-operative COMMUNITY. The days of the self-seeking, alienated, capitalist, 'individual' have come to a dramatic CORRUPT, criminal END. If you wish to endure or survive, join or form a COMMUNITY co-op. WE are ONE or we are nothing!

Leadership, by the minority for the minority
ryall, Sunday, Jan 10 2010, 8:53pm
The recent flurry of media activity relating to ‘underpants’ and YEMEN has taken a new turn with Obama now stating he has “no intention” of invading Yemen – previously he threatened the Yemeni government with, to paraphrase, ‘if you don’t take care of the ‘terrorists,’ WE WILL DO IT FOR YOU!’ Sounds like a clear threat of invasion to me, but one day is a long time in politics!

Clinton and Gates prepared to duck 'Sniper Fire' in Oz!
Captain, Saturday, Jan 9 2010, 7:47am
Bob Gates, US Defence Secretary during the Cheney/Bush gangster years continues in that role today. He will accompany Hillary ‘sniper fire’ Clinton to Oz for meetings with lackey Oz politicians Kevin ‘photo-op’ Rudd and FM Stephen ‘knee pads’ Smith, who promises to top his previous knee-walking grovel for then Secretary of State, Condi ‘child killer’ Rice; when it comes to the servile art of knee-walking no Oz politician holds a knee-pad to Stephen Smith – he’s definitely the right man for the grovel!

Journalism: a matter of integrity and character
quill, Friday, Jan 8 2010, 7:23pm
Should WE be surprised that today’s mainstream journos have sold out to nefarious minority interests when most professions, which have traditionally served the public interest, sold out long ago? Should we commend journos for holding out so long before they too sold out or should we condemn them completely?

US Administration finally discovers ‘real’ al-Qaeda stronghold in YEMEN!
birdie, Wednesday, Jan 6 2010, 9:54pm
WE should have known, especially after Obama’s own National Security Advisor, Gen. James Jones, stated that the ACTUAL number of al-Qaeda fighters in Afghanistan is "fewer than a hundred!" What! You mean thousands of innocent lives have been lost and the world’s most powerful military has been mobilsed to fight less than 100 fighters? Well, if nothing else it certainly portrays al-Qaeda as nothing short of superhuman, perhaps even divine! How else would it be possible for less than 100 fighters to take on the most powerful military in the world? Or is it perhaps the case that WE are being DECEIVED, YET AGAIN?

Oz government remains in Racist denial
snowy, Wednesday, Jan 6 2010, 7:57am
Like a recidivist alcoholic Kevin Rudd’s CENSORSHIP government continues to avoid the RACIST REALITY in Oz, and as every therapist would advise, you can’t cure a problem without first acknowledging it exists! The entire world is aware of xenophobic, racist, backward Australia thanks to former PM John Howard’s OVERT racism making headlines around the globe. However, an opportunity to HEAL and take the nation forward presented itself to pathetic little Kevin Rudd, who seems more concerned with CENSORSHIP issues and DENIAL than FACING leadership challenges!

The Airport Scanner Scam
James Ridgeway via fleet, Tuesday, Jan 5 2010, 6:52pm
'Scan, baby, scan!' That’s the mantra among politicians at all levels in the wake of the thwarted terrorist attack aboard a Detroit-bound passenger jet. According to conventional wisdom, the would-be “underwear bomber” could have been stopped by airport security if he’d been put through a full-body scanner, which would have revealed the cache of explosives attached to Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab’s groin.
