 Censorship and Puppet government in Oz
Kismo, Friday, Jan 1 2010, 8:28pm
The western world is aware that ‘laboratory Australia’ will soon trial, for nefarious ruling minorities, UNDEMOCRATIC, MANDATORY, information CENSORSHIP. Malevolent ruling elites around the globe will be watching with great interest the reaction of the overwhelming majority (95%) of Australians that oppose all draconian censorship IMPOSITIONS; it should also be noted that the Rudd government received NO MANDATE from the PEOPLE to impose mandatory anything let alone unwanted information controls; but of course democracy today has degenerated into a charade behind which nefarious elites control governments!

 If you want to survive, FIGHT!
Tau, Thursday, Dec 31 2009, 8:56pm
Every banjo-playing, inbred, American hillbilly should now be aware of the TRUTH – that the WESTERN DEMOCRATIC SYSTEM as we know it today IS A FRAUD! If we wish to survive we must fight for our Freedoms and Liberties as our fathers did before us! [‘God’ it feels good writing this! Just an expression, FUCK GOD, we are slaves to no one -- we save ourselves!] (story and 1 image)

How to Slaughter Civilians and be Home in time for Dinner
finch, Wednesday, Dec 30 2009, 10:59pm
Most would not remember Karl Rove’s weapon of choice in America’s failing wars of occupation; Rove publicly stated that UAVs or Drones, as they are more commonly known, would be the ‘decisive’ weapon in South Asia! As it turns out, Drones are also the favourite weapon of Puppet-in-Chief, Barack Obaa’ma -- is anyone surprised?’ (story and 3 comments and 1 image)

My ally, my Terrorist – Aussies lament!
fray, Tuesday, Dec 29 2009, 7:57pm
An American veteran recounts a story of how an Iraqi woman cursed the American invaders while they ‘implemented’ US style ‘freedom and democracy’ in her country; “you’re worse than Saddam,” she screamed, as marines brutalised her family and ejected them from their house, which was later destroyed! War crimes aside for the moment, let’s put that poor woman’s accusation to the test, shall we? (story and 2 comments and 2 attached files)

Fraud Obama did the World a Favour
rain, Saturday, Dec 26 2009, 8:54pm
This will probably be the shortest piece I have ever written so I extend special thanks to the person who did all the hard and REVEALING work, Barack H. Obama, the greatest living FRAUD on the planet! By promising the ENTIRE WORLD, “Hope” and “Change, we can Believe in,” and then delivering a CONTINUATION of the poisonous policies of the previous administration, Obama single handedly destroyed ALL FAITH in the democratic system of government.

A sucker’s Xmas: criminal execs shower themselves in bonuses
finch, Friday, Dec 25 2009, 8:59am
The excuse most often tendered to the public by Corporatists to justify their obscene bonuses is that “talent” demands these [unrealistic] salaries and bonuses! “Talent,” did you say?
The World is staring down the barrel of what promises to be the greatest economic collapse in recorded history and the clowns responsible are now labelling themselves as “TALENTED!” Well, if ‘that don’t beat all’ for sheer affrontery, ARROGANCE and CONTEMPT for the public.

War criminal, David Kilcullen, addresses National Press Club
sarge, Wednesday, Dec 23 2009, 11:38am
Dr David Kilcullen (UNSW) recently addressed the National Press Club in Canberra -- unfortunately I was unable to attend due to a prior commitment with freedom fighters! No great loss as Kilcullen is a very familiar piece of work, he is ‘stuck’ and always behaves in a predictable manner; his greatest skill is his gypsy ability to mirror reader/audience expectations and deliver what is expected not what is necessary, ‘but more on that later!’

CENSORSHIP in Oz: in your IT Face
Kismo, Monday, Dec 21 2009, 11:34pm
It is astounding that commentators and IT media in Oz CONTINUE TO DESCRIBE Kevin Rudd’s brazen INTERNET CENSORSHIP policy as ‘filtering’ – prohibition of media information of any type is CENSORSHIP; get it straight and USE the appropriate and ACCURATE TERM! If it requires rubbing the ringed and stupefied noses of some Aussie dreamboats in the soiled fabric of our language to get the point home, then so be it! (story and 1 comment and 2 images)

ACTIONS not words define REALITY
major mitchell, Saturday, Dec 19 2009, 11:10pm
The world’s leading TERRORIST and SOCIOPATHIC nation remains characteristically true to form -- this week, The United States of America expanded its civilian killing pursuits to Yemen where the use of inappropriate, disproportionate and imprecise (in the circumstances) Air strikes killed at least 63 civilians including 28 CHILDREN; God Bless America, indeed. It is clear that waging acquisitive warfare does not serve the interests of any Christian God but serves his archrival, Lucifer! So let’s call a spade a spade and a heinous, hypocritical, Criminal State exactly what it is!

"No binding agreements" -- Copenhagen ends in FAILURE
hue, Friday, Dec 18 2009, 8:20pm
Predictably, the Copenhagen Climate 'Accord' ended in FAILURE; participants were more concerned with national rather than planetary issues.
Participating representatives avoided binding agreements favouring instead the SHORT TERM ECONOMIC INTERESTS of their respective nations -- and therein lies the problem! (story and 1 comment and 1 image)

Obama: pathetic!
Shamus Cooke via quill, Friday, Dec 18 2009, 5:46am
Shortly before Obama was sent to Copenhagen to deliver a scripted speech on behalf of rich Bankers, Military Industrialists and the REAL ruling elite of the USA, he implored the US banking/financial establishment to lend more money to the average person and small business -- you know, they're the people that bailed the banks out with trillions in future debt and tax burdens. To demonstrate their heart-felt gratitude for the people and the government, the bankers, while drowning themselves in yet more bonuses, refused Obama's request and showed him the service exit! It should now be plain to even the average American that Western democratic governments NO LONGER GOVERN anything! (story and 3 images)

Kevin Rudd’s Last Stand at ‘Little Big’ Copenhagen
bluey, Thursday, Dec 17 2009, 8:59pm
One cannot help but draw parallels between the arrogance, foolhardiness and NARCISSISM of General George Armstrong Custer and his modern blonde counterpart, Kevin ‘photo-op’ Rudd. Both men share similar personality flaws, not the least being pathological narcissism, which also explains the one-man-band attitude of both men AND of course defines their greatest weakness and the inevitable cause of their ignominious FALL from grace.

The Front
hue, Wednesday, Dec 16 2009, 6:18pm
‘Hard work always pays dividends,’ a phrase straight from the Corporatist Bible, but to whom goes the dividends -- that is the question? The recent Iraqi Oil Auction, a circus of an event televised like a game show on Iraqi television (see link) dispels once and for all the myth that nation states are the seat of power and influence or that ‘democracy’ exists outside dictionary definitions!

Back to the 50’s – RETROGRESSIVE [Internet] Censorship in Oz
Kismo, Tuesday, Dec 15 2009, 8:12pm
It was clear from the outset that unpopular, UNDEMOCRATIC policies to CENSOR the free flow of information in Australia would be PUSHED THROUGH the legislative process by Kevin Rudd regardless of all opposition! A news release yesterday confirmed that Rudd’s Communications Minister and Murdoch errand boy, Stephen Conroy, would legislate – FORCE compliance in other words – new Internet CENSORSHIP laws by mid 2010!

 Politicians under direct attack: the times have changed

If day follows night the growing trend of direct attacks on corrupt politicians will shortly be followed by direct attacks on the forces that control them. CORPORATISTS should follow the lead set by Goldman Sachs executives who have armed themselves in the event of a populist uprising against them – imagine that?

Oz Political Vermin Survival Strategies
dasha, Sunday, Dec 13 2009, 7:57am
In contrast to kitchen vermin, which always seek out dark cracks and crevices when under threat, Oz political vermin, when confronted with massive popularity/face LOSS -- failed ‘Messiah’ of ETS at ‘No-Hopen-Hagen;’ border 'protection;' pissweak whaling ‘warrior’ in our hemisphere; continuing BHP artesian water theft; wholesale rape of the nation by Corporations and gut-turning cowardice/compliance with every dictate of Washington regarding sending our troops to AMERICA’S ILLEGAL (and failed) WARS – but to the point; politicians, unlike their kitchen cockroach cousins, seek the LIMELIGHT to DISTRACT and survive when threatened with demise!

Bernanke applies liquid palliative while Real Economy continues to flounder
Mike Whitney via fleet, Saturday, Dec 12 2009, 5:31pm
The Fed's monetary intervention has created a bifurcated market. Stocks rise on an ocean of central bank liquidity while the real economy continues to languish in a small "d" depression. The disparity between financial markets and the underlying "productive" economy has never been greater. Nor has the "wealth gap", the gross inequality exacerbated by decades of "monetarist" supply side policies. Bernanke simply has no other choice but to try to inflate another gigantic bubble that will lift the economy from the doldrums on a speculative wave of zero-rate liquidity. The problem is, according to Bernanke himself, the strategy is not working.
