 ANONYMITY is POWER, you mindless morons!
Lee Harvey Osama Bin Oswald, Saturday, Aug 8 2009, 1:15am
What does it take for some to see the nose on their face? Have you all fallen for the ‘fame game’ or the narcissistic ‘look at me, aren’t I wonderful’ syndrome -- so effectively SOLD to the masses by the western media! Have you not realised yet the IMMENSE POWER that resides in ANONYMITY? In today’s contractionist culture, anonymity is FREEDOM! (story and 1 image)

 Oz Puppet leadership, but at what cost?
barra, Tuesday, Aug 4 2009, 12:53am
In the wake of the Jakarta bombings and the MASSIVE FAILURE of Australian and US ‘intelligence agencies’ in detecting the OBVIOUS (see link) the Oz government has ‘pulled’ a desperate terrorist arrest and exaggerated a terrorist threat in order to appear as competent – the threat was allegedly to a MILITARY BASE on the outskirts of Sydney, a poorly 'chosen' target given the ABUNDANCE of high value ‘soft’ targets in capital cities!

Racist American colony, Australia, takes another battering from BRIC
dasha, Saturday, Aug 1 2009, 1:17am
The cowardly, obedient, flea nation of the South Pacific and its shameless, servile ‘leadership’ are currently being taught a lesson not soon to be forgotten. Russia has joined its allies, India and China, in their moral, political and economic attacks on the Rudd ‘custard’ government by banning the importation of all kangaroo meat into Russia. This ban, which severely impacts Australia on a number of fronts, is too well timed to be accidental or coincidental. (story and 1 comment)

Brief History of the Shortest Lived Empire on Record, Pt. 1
Andrew Gavin Marshall via quin, Friday, Jul 31 2009, 9:53am
Introduction
“And it’s come to this;” are reputed to be the last words uttered by notorious Australian bushranger Ned Kelly before he was hanged. Today those fateful words apply to a bandit nation that chose, like Kelly, to live the hard, fast, short life of a rogue and bandit. (story and 7 comments and 5 images)

Skype, the uncrackable peer communicator
Chris Williams via Kismo, Friday, Jul 31 2009, 5:31am
"For years now a steady stream of reports and whispers have emerged that despite their batteries of supercomputers, intelligence agencies are frustrated by Skype's anonymity and strong encryption. Its base in Estonia also means the firm is out of the reach of the US lawful intercept laws and UK export legislation, which forces any firm supplying encryption technology to show GCHQ the backdoor."

Oz Intelligence chiefs, a matter of shuffling Bureaucrats
finch, Wednesday, Jul 29 2009, 12:49pm
David Irvine, the ‘new’ head of ASIO pulled his head out of his bureaucratic arse today just long enough to put his foot in his mouth! ‘Fresh’ from his post as ASIS chief, he has already displayed the calibre that locals have come to expect from their, “well planned event,” (Keelty) brain dead, security chiefs!

The POWER is/in the ART and in those that produce it!
quill, Wednesday, Jul 29 2009, 1:44am
Underrated for too long, Aussie artist (actress) Toni ‘awesome’ Collette, recently accepted a challenging role for a TV series in the, bereft of talent, criminal USA. Collette plays four (five if you count Toni) characters emanating from ONE character suffering multiple personality disorder, a condition not unfamiliar to the paralysed, sedated masses!

KOSOVO: US terrorist ally continues persecution of ethnic minorities
Lee Jay Walker via dusan, Sunday, Jul 26 2009, 12:44am
The former Yugoslavia was engulfed in many conflicts, ethnic and religious differences tore away at the fabric of this nation. Like all wars, atrocities took place on all sides but the mass media chose to focus on Serbian atrocities while neglecting brutal crimes committed against the Serbian community. This certainly applies to the numerous war crimes committed by the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA). (story and 1 comment and 2 images)

The End of the World as we know it!
quin, Friday, Jul 24 2009, 10:49pm
At the most critical period of our very short history, instead of recovery, WE ARE CHARGING FULL SPEED TO OUR COLLECTIVE DESTRUCTION; it seems this (insane) pursuit is the best we can manage in the current circumstances – how utterly tragic!
WE need not have taken this course but the Cheney's, Obama's and all the other puppet ‘leaders,’ installed by Corporate/Bankster ruling minorities, have DECIDED FOR US; so WE, in ALL OUR COLLECTIVE 'WISDOM' AND limitless COMPLACENCY, allowed ourselves to be herded BY SELF-CONFESSED CRIMINALS, PSYCHOPATHS and ROGUES, baa’aa – give me a break!

Obama: More Polished Than the Last Puppet
Cindy Sheehan via rialator, Wednesday, Jul 22 2009, 10:14pm
Okay, so the United States of America has had a new puppet regime for six months now. I was never so much into giving Obama a “chance” and I think it’s way past time to call Obama and his supporters out, like we called Bush and his supporters out. Our Presidents are merely puppets for the Robber Class and Obama is no exception. (story and 1 image and 1 audio file)

Competence and good governance are required Mr Rudd, NOT more Laws!
Kingfisher, Wednesday, Jul 22 2009, 1:10am
Faced with Real issues, Rio Tinto exec arrest, Balibo justice, water polluting Uranium/BHP mining etc, the show pony PM of Australia, Kevin ‘photo shoot’ Rudd, opts for diversion – creating more laws -- rather than addressing and dealing with problems head-on! It’s a matter of COMPETENCE, the principal quality lacking in Oz government today! (story and 1 comment)

In an Impotent World even Criminal Aggression is Tolerated
Paul Craig Roberts via reed, Tuesday, Jul 21 2009, 12:24am
"The Russians and Chinese are off balance because of successful American interventions in their spheres of influence, uncertain of the threat and the response. Russia could have prevented the coming attack on Iran, but, pressured by Washington, Russia has not delivered the missile systems that Iran purchased. China suffers from her own hubris as a rising economic power, and is about to lose her energy investments in Iran to US/Israeli aggression. China is funding America’s wars of aggression with loans, and Russia is even helping the US to set up a puppet state in Afghanistan, thus opening up former Soviet central Asia to US hegemony.

CIA claims of cancelled assassination campaign are hogwash!
Eric Margolis via reed, Monday, Jul 20 2009, 8:09am
CIA director Leon Panetta just told Congress he cancelled a secret operation to assassinate al-Qaida leaders. The CIA campaign, authorized in 2001, had not yet become operational, claimed Panetta. I respect Panetta, but his claim is humbug. The U.S. has been trying to kill al-Qaida personnel (real and imagined) since the Clinton administration. These efforts continue under President Barack Obama. Claims by Congress it was never informed are hogwash.

Hillary Clinton pandering to CFR fogies in DENIAL
baz, Sunday, Jul 19 2009, 10:25am
Hillary’s recent address to the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), a group primarily comprised of white-haired geriatrics pining for the good ol’ days, confirmed that regardless of whoever inhabits the White House, status quo policies continue without interference from puppet politicians! It’s business as usual for the mass murdering, plundering, rapacious, USA and the Corporatists that run it!

All Human Life is Precious, Mr. Rudd, you reprehensible HYPOCRITE!
fish, Sunday, Jul 19 2009, 12:03am
In the wake of bomb attacks in Jakarta, which highlighted the OPERATIONAL FAILURE of Oz and US intelligence agencies (YET AGAIN) and resulted in NINE innocent deaths, our incompetent politicians are frantically engaged in distracting the public’s attention away from government derelictions of DUTY and RESPONSIBILITY to fruitless emotional responses; “.. the Australian government will leave no stone unturned in bringing to justice the perpetrators of this violent, barbaric act of murder,” stated Rudd with all the hypocritical, fake fervour he could muster! Now consider the fact that Rudd is aware of the identities of the Indonesian murderers of five innocent, unarmed, Australian journalists in East Timor! That awkward reality puts a REAL perspective on the situation, doesn’t it, mate! (story and 1 comment and 1 image)

Big Pharma: Baxter Files Swine Flu Vaccine Patent a Year Ahead of Outbreak
Lori Price via peptide, Saturday, Jul 18 2009, 11:22am
Australia has introduced police enforcement/incarceration for people that refuse vaccinations when "SUSPECTED" of coming into contact with swine flu! Canada and France are imposing mandatory vaccinations on their entire populations while America approaches a similar policy.
The MANDATORY and ENFORCEMENT aspects based on suspicion/suspected contact essentially leaves the door open for enforcers to detain whoever they wish on a phoney quarantine excuse, then pump them full of God knows what masquerading as vaccinations! Or, optionally, murder whoever they wish in quarantine and put it down to swine flu! (story and 2 comments and 1 image)

Stern Hu: FM, Stephen ‘kneepads’ Smith, proceeding in a “methodical” DREAMWORLD!
quill, Thursday, Jul 16 2009, 10:30pm
Prior to launching into that INCOMPETENT IDIOT and COWARD, Stephen Smith, I remind the Oz public of this Minister’s debut on the international stage – YES, ‘kneepads,’ I refer to that extremely revealing press conference in Washington where Condi Rice openly mocked the GROVELLING Stephen Smith; Rice OPENLY LAUGHED at Smith AND by association AUSTRALIA! Smith squealed and whimpered all the while pledging his devotion and affirming Australia’s SLAVE STATUS to America. (story and 1 comment)
