  Armed vs Unarmed Resistance
nano, Wednesday, Jun 1 2011, 12:51am
When neo-cons were drafting the Project for the New American Century (PNAC) or world hegemony by any other name, criminal neo-con corporate facilitators confronted the problem of State sovereignty, International Law and human rights – THEIR ‘solution,’ as the world is NOW aware, was to ignore or corrupt International Legal Institutions, disregard State Sovereignty and completely ignore the rights/lives of innocent civilians, as the horrendous civilian death toll, which now ranges in the millions, clearly indicates. From the start it became apparent that the free world was dealing with a new, State CRIMINAL force! (story and 1 comment and 1 image and 1 audio file)

Cyber attack equals act of war according to Pentagon
Kismo, Tuesday, May 31 2011, 11:36am
The US, by threatening hackers with conventional military ‘missile’ responses, has indirectly admitted it lags far behind elite hackers in cyberspace. An ossified Pentagon imbecile is quoted in the Wall Street Journal as saying, "If you shut down our power grid, maybe we will put a missile down one of your smokestacks;" how very characteristic, a typically rustic, primitive, American response that only a banjo-playing moron would make openly – ‘no doubt’ the hacker community is packing shit!

Cate Blanchett, great actress but No Climatologist
sal, Tuesday, May 31 2011, 1:19am
A recent report states that GLOBAL carbon emissions in 2010 were the highest ever recorded; an outcome which clearly indicates that Oz PM, Gillard and Bankers Goldman Sachs are running with a dud plan/TAX. Urgent remedial action from government is clearly required, the free market is a cesspool of rogues, criminals and cheats the likes of which – recent global economic collapse -- could never be trusted to manage carbon emissions effectively and HONESTLY. Extremely severe penalties and other harsh REGULATORY measures are now required from the only body legally capable of doing so, GOVERNMENT! If the world truly wishes to reduce carbon emissions the solution now rests with governments. But as we should all be aware, the reality of energy needs far outweighs every other consideration, including Carbon dioxide emissions. So it’s a ‘no game’ scenario! (story and 1 image)

The UN Security Council and Hague Courts, a FARCE!
bluey, Monday, May 30 2011, 2:09am
I recall a situational comedy sketch in a Peter Sellers Pink Panther movie, featuring the bungling inspector confronting a blind man; I couldn’t do it justice with a description but as absurd as that situation was it doesn’t hold a candle to the FARCE that is the UN security council and the international criminal court at the Hague.

Free Yourself from Modern Religious Slavery
sadh, Sunday, May 29 2011, 1:31am
I would first refer to what appears to the ignorant to be a most enigmatic Christian parable; no doubt, it has puzzled theologians (morons) for centuries; however, its message is clear to some modern ‘scribes’ or writers – never forget the New Testament is a textual production written by skilled practitioners in the ART [of writing!] (story and 1 comment and 1 image)

Russia BACKFLIPS on Libyan Stance sides with US/NATO

Remember the once ferocious Russian bear that kept other lunatic superpowers in check with threats of annihilation and remember the period of post WWII PEACE this balance created? Now recall the historical collapse of the Soviet Union in the 80’s, which changed forever the balance of world power. (story and 1 image)

Big Banks required Secret Emergency Loans from NY Fed in '08
buster, Thursday, May 26 2011, 10:25pm
We know today that Capitalism failed completely in 2008, it is currently on 'QE2' life support waiting desperately for the Global introduction of a PENALTY (Carbon) Economy to replace Capitalisms failed Production Economy; so it should come as no surprise that large financial institutions required a 'monetary transfusion' at that time -- the fact that these dealings were kept secret is in character with the methods employed by financial elites to manipulate the global economy and maintain debt slavery as the primary method of social control and Imperial supremacy!

Ratko Mladic arrested; Bush, Blair, Cheney, Rice remain at large!
stan, Thursday, May 26 2011, 7:35am
As NATO continues its unmandated overtly criminal war in Libya, Serbia’s SERVILE president Tadic, announced today that he arrested General Ratko Mladic and will hand him over to the Hague – a Court that somehow is blind to American and NATO war crimes committed under its totally corrupt and PARTIAL ‘nose.’ (story and 1 image)

Toxins from GM foods found in the blood of unborn babies
Sean Poulter via gan, Wednesday, May 25 2011, 9:27am
Frankenfood producers LIE YET AGAIN!
It seems that killing bees and bats en masse is not enough; now Monsanto and other Frankenfood companies are killing humans. The entire notion of GM or Frankenfoods is ANATHEMA. Stop these vile Corporations before they irreversibly pollute (cross-pollination) our natural food supply and end humanity. (story and 2 images)

Netanyahu Shits in Obama's Faggot Face, Bravo!
skip, Wednesday, May 25 2011, 12:08am
Netanyahu's speech to Congress was saturated with emphatics and uncompromising absolutes, all of which directly opposed Obama's wishes; a speech you would not expect from an astute politician, but in Obama's case, Netanyahu got it right! (story and 2 images)

NATO's BLOOD FEST
Cynthia McKinney via stele, Tuesday, May 24 2011, 10:59pm
NATO is now engaged in a bombing FRENZY of a civilian target, the City of Tripoli -- but do we hear the 'humanitarian intervention' UN, ICC and other international legal authorities or spineless 'superpowers' Russia and China, crying FOUL? NO! It should now be CLEAR to even the dimmest, uninformed American that conducting open warfare on a civilian city is far from a 'humanitarian' action! The WORLD is witnessing the OVERT criminal actions of the most criminally corrupt States and corrupt International ('humanitarian') Organisations (the UN and ICC included) on the planet! That's right morons, it's now undeniable and it's served up in the media on a daily basis.
The next time ANYONE/body or org cries "humanitarian intervention," YOU KNOW it's a veil for criminal enterprise -- conducted primarily by the criminal US/NATO and puppet allies -- the PROOF and TRUTH is in YOUR FACE! (story and 2 images)

Oz Carbon Tax in a Nutshell

First let me say that climate change is REAL and constant, as the geological and meteorological record clearly indicates; BUT that has no bearing whatsoever on the Goldman Sachs designed PENALTY TAX SYSTEM Julia Gillard wishes to IMPOSE on the good citizens of Australia.

 Matt Taibbi, 'got to!'
quill, Saturday, May 21 2011, 11:33am
Alternative, 'independent' journalist Matt Taibbi of Rolling Stone Magazine, seems to have become an apologist for the 'man.' I could scarcely believe my ears (see video) when out of Taibbi's own mouth he stated that mostly 'good people' are in the government -- knowing full well that almost all of Congress has been bought by Wall St. He also stated that the US Corporate media is NOT a 'top down' propaganda apparatus but is captive to profit seeking -- he seems to have forgotten the outrageous, concerted, brazen propaganda sell of the Iraq invasion complete with WMD LIES and babypowder anthrax.

Bradley Manning HERO, Incarcerated and Tortured by US Criminal Powers
Peter Tatchell via gan, Saturday, May 21 2011, 12:08am
Bradley Manning has not 'broken' after 9 months of acute and sustained psychological TORTURE! He exhibits exceptionally strong moral convictions and strong MORAL character, which no doubt have enabled him to maintain his personal integrity under the most horrific and sadistic conditions and torture. Anyone who has been subjected to prolonged psychological torture would inform you immediately that this man is exceptional and indeed a HERO. His exceptional strength and courage and the criminal torture he has suffered continue to COMPROMISE criminal forces in Washington and the Pentagon. (story and 1 comment and 1 image)

‘Humanitarian intervention’ becomes full-scale illegal war in Libya
stan, Friday, May 20 2011, 9:33am
Seemingly frustrated by Col. Gaddafi’s tenacity, and its INABILITY to end the Libyan invasion quickly and install compliant puppet leaders, NATO has begun a full scale war targeting and sinking eight Libyan war ships moored in harbour. Add to that attack the thousands of NATO air sorties already conducted and we have an unmandated WAR in progress. Remember that the feeble excuse for ‘intervention’ originally was to protect civilians; I would wager at this stage that NATO and CIA backed rebels are responsible for more civilian deaths than any other force in Libya. Iraq is a very good example/model of an US/NATO conducted oil war which resulted in over ONE MILLION CIVILIAN DEATHS, all directly and indirectly caused by invading forces. Here we go again!

China’s recent Bravado, Hot ‘Yellow’ Air
stan, Thursday, May 19 2011, 8:42pm
China is attempting to assert itself on the world stage by warning “in unequivocal terms that any attack on Pakistan would be construed as an attack on China!” Cop that world, we are pretending we have balls! However, after China’s COWARDLY display with traditional ally Yugoslavia and witnessing Bill Clinton laugh openly after intentionally targeting the Chinese Embassy in Belgrade and killing a number of Chinese officials, please accept our incredulity as a response to your feeble mouse squeaks and that notwithstanding China’s paralysis in direct view of America's latest imperial war in North Africa. We can see them all shaking in their shoes in Washington, as they roll on the floor laughing at the giant yellow mouse that aspires to superpower status – what a pathetic joke! It’s ACTIONS, NOT WORDS that convince and demand respect. (story and 1 comment)
