 South American Leaders Back Morales and launch probe into Unrest
Bill Faries and Sebastian Boyd via reed, Monday, Sep 15 2008, 10:43pm
[US covert ops are failing in Central Asia, Latin America, the Middle East, Pacific and Australia -- everywhere in fact. The LAWLESS, murdering, terrorist, American PIG is failing on every front from energy wars to economic (globalisation) wars. What happened to turn the tables in such a short period of time? The same modus operandi that proved successful against the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia no longer 'works,' as the experience in Georgia and Latin America highlights, but why? Wouldn't the Americans love to know; I'm not about to spell it all out -- "we're at war," remember, dubya's moronic refrain! Let's just say digital information moves faster than covert ops these days and everyone is now familiar with the ugly face of American mass murder incorporated -- BIG problem!

 Subverting Democracy Through Electoral Fraud
Stephen Lendman via rialator, Monday, Sep 15 2008, 9:26am
[The following article lists the secondary factors that have contributed to the demise of democracy in the 21st century. Democracy is a social phenomenon that lives or dies with the people/masses. No one can permanently steal democracy while the masses exist; however, as the article highlights it can be hijacked momentarily by criminal forces.
Regardless of whether citizens choose to actively exercise their democratic options the fact remains the will of the MAJORITY easily overrules the machinations of the minority – NEVER FORGET IT! What constantly haunts minority elites and cabals is the prospect of the people exercising their options! Ed.]

Oz dollar: another example of market manipulation
peptide, Sunday, Sep 14 2008, 11:32pm
Traders and citizens would remember the Oz dollar hitting its lowest point in history at 49c to the American -- that result did not reflect actual ‘value’ but market manipulation and hysteria! Our then treasurer Paul Keating very unwisely made a now infamous remark warning that Australia could become a “banana republic” if the economy wasn’t reformed. (story and 1 image)

US covert intervention from Pristina to La Paz
Wilson García Mérida via reed, Saturday, Sep 13 2008, 11:31pm
He presented his credentials before President Evo Morales on October 13, 2006; but three months before his arrival in Bolivia, when he was still in Pristina fulfilling his role as head of the US mission in Kosovo, it was already being said that the new US ambassador designated by George Bush for this Andean country, Philip Goldberg, would come to take part in the separatist process that was being cultivated in the background to pierce the Bolivian regime.

Drone warfare
Kingfisher, Saturday, Sep 13 2008, 11:19am
I was raised in a world where killing innocent women and children was considered the most heinous of crimes. Why are such acts tolerated today? Hundreds of thousands of children have died as a direct result of US policies and military interventions. However, it appears that in this ‘brave new world’ of Bush, Cheney and mindless ‘Paris Hiltons’ it is acceptable to kill women and children and suffer no serious consequences!

Racist Australia finally grants visa to Snoop Dogg
budgie, Thursday, Sep 11 2008, 10:54pm
Gangster rapper, Mr S. Dogg, was elated after Australia finally approved his visa application to perform in the country. Much to the nation's shame, a previous application was refused by the former conservative, racist government led by, “I was raised with those values,” John Howard. Australia’s appalling record with dark skinned humanity has gained it a loathsome reputation internationally. The most recent example is the overt scapegoating/victimisation of the dark skinned Indian doctor, Mohamed Haneef. It remains to be seen how far the current PM, Kevin ‘useless eunuch’ Rudd, is willing to pursue CRIMINAL CHARGES in relation to the obvious collusion between the former PM’s office, Federal Police Chief, ‘have another drink,’ Mick Keelty and former Immigration Minister, Kevin Andrews. Former Attorney General Philip ‘anal contractionist’ Ruddock may also be implicated – it would be surprising if he isn’t! (story and 2 images)

Less Than Half the World Believes al-Qaeda Was Behind 9/11 Attacks
Joshua Holland via quill, Thursday, Sep 11 2008, 12:27am
An international poll released this week by the Project on International Policy Attitudes (PIPA) found that outside the United States, many are skeptical that al Qaeda was really responsible for the Sept. 11 attacks. Sixteen thousand people in 17 countries -- allies and adversaries in Asia, Europe, Africa, Latin America and the Middle East -- were asked the open-ended question: "Who do you think was behind the 9/11 attacks?"

The public considered fair game by Robber Barons, Speculators and Bankers
barra, Wednesday, Sep 10 2008, 10:19pm
Government regulators once controlled the degree to which the public could be robbed by big business -- the fear of social unrest, or political repercussions were the two principal moderating factors. However, today’s public has been taught to eat shit and like it! Armed with obscene amounts of extorted cash, powerful speculators brazenly fix oil prices and the value of other commodities via unregulated speculative markets. Recent oil price rises clearly highlight the fact and expose the gambit.

"Our code of conduct is documented in the Asasi Qanoon [Basic Law of Afghanistan]. Under article 103, it is mentioned that we don't want any disruptions in any country of the world. The Taliban are only a national resistance movement against foreign occupation forces in Afghanistan" (story and 1 comment)

The irrefutable lunacy and brazen HYPOCRISY of U.S. Evangelicals
fish, Wednesday, Sep 10 2008, 1:04am
Prior to addressing the principal report, updates just to hand confirm America’s tailspin from major international influence to economically and politically bankrupt, pariah nation -- it’s over! The culmination of inane policies and LAWLESS unilateral pursuits could only lead to ruin. Arrogant America NOW begs for assistance when previously, like a headstrong infant, it shunned the globe. The prevailing sentiment from the world is now, ‘you broke EVERYTHING you touched, now deal with it!’

Chavez: "Go ahead and squeal, Yankees"
Kismo, Monday, Sep 8 2008, 10:50pm
“The enemy of my enemy is my friend;” we support anyone and everyone who opposes the mass murdering, plundering, LAWLESS, USA. The rogue must be stopped by all available means. Central Asian and Middle Eastern forces are re-asserting their inalienable rights to their traditional lands and HOMES – “death to all invaders!” China, Russia, India and other East Asian nations are mounting economic and energy attacks as I write. The idiocy of the Bush regime has succeeded where outsiders never could – THEY HAVE IN RECORD TIME RUINED THE ECONOMY/NATION FROM WITHIN – we hope the people continue in their apathy and we wish McCain the best of luck in the race to annihilation.

R.I.P free market (laissez-faire) Capitalism
dev/null, Monday, Sep 8 2008, 2:10am
Some stories do not require pages of elaboration; the event speaks clearer and louder than any journo could hope to ‘pen.’ Today the U.S. government was forced to bail out the ‘competitive, individual, free market, laissez-faire,’ CAPITALIST SYSTEM, which until now was considered second only to God! The USA and its ideological backbone is broken, as has been so painfully demonstrated by one of the largest scale government financial interventions in history – well done Milton Friedman!

‘Show me where you sat on the axe!’

It’s hard not to be cynical in ‘view’ of the ubiquity of Sarah Palin’s tits. The mess that Cheney-Bush have made of the economy has been background by tits; the unprovoked, illegal American cross-border attack into Pakistan hardly raised an eyebrow; Bush’s Continuity of Government (COG) extending unprecedented executive powers for another year was barely noticed; Cheney planning WWIII in the Ukraine, back page news -- the WORLD, however, continues to bob with Sarah Palin’s tits!

Kismo, Friday, Sep 5 2008, 12:03am
The mass media is loath to publish it and his handlers are attempting to smother it but it will stick in the pages of history like fly shit! McCain completed his acceptance speech with the intimation, “I have been ‘ANOINTED’ to ‘SAVE’ America in its hour of need,” and he was serious! A textbook megalo-para/schizo statement, ask any psychiatrist! Make no mistake, the “bomb, bomb, bomb Iran; I know how to win wars; I will fight in Iraq for 100 years; I’ll follow Bin Laden to the gates of hell,” is DAMAGED GOODS!
