 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
fray, Friday, Jan 22 2010, 6:38pm
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.

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)

Anglo Aussies line harbour foreshore to catch a glimpse of ‘Royalty’
morgan, Tuesday, Jan 19 2010, 10:42pm
In a scene reminiscent of the 50’s, Anglo-Aussies lined the Sydney harbour foreshore to get a glimpse of pommy Royalty; Republic anyone? In an extraordinary display of national infantilism and lack of identity, hundreds of vacuum-headed Australians, with no memory of the past or our early horrendous history, celebrated the appearance of a man directly descended from those responsible for inflicting so much grief and pain onto the Aborigines and early convict settlers!

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?

Horror racist attacks continue in Australia
gan, Saturday, Jan 16 2010, 7:32am
Attacks on Indians continue unabated in Victoria since the brutal stabbing death of Indian student Nitin Garg two weeks ago. The latest attacks occurred only 24 hours after an Australian man was sentenced to three months jail for racially vilifying and threatening an Indian taxi driver with his life. Two more Indian taxi drivers have been targeted in separate racist attacks in Ballarat. The assailants may have been motivated by 'one of their own' receiving a severe penalty for the ‘minor’ offence of threatening an Indian with his life -- we’ll show those curry-munchers what’s what ‘round ‘ere, mate!

Cyber Security addition to Oz Military Intelligence
Kismo, Friday, Jan 15 2010, 8:44am
The Oz Minister of Defence, John Faulkner, who is currently finishing a sentence he began this morning, finally managed to announce that the Defence Signals Directorate (DSD) or ‘Sigs,’ as it is affectionately known, has expanded its intelligence brief to include cyber security. Far be it from anyone ‘here’ to denigrate our Signals Corps but the question arises, from where is the Oz Military recruiting the only people able to ‘fight’ a cyber war, undisciplined, elite, civilian HACKERS?

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!
