 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!’

 Bush's aims with Bin Laden and 9/11
John Pedler via reed, Tuesday, Sep 9 2008, 11:37pm
“I kind of think that the decisions taken in the next few weeks will determine the rest of the world for years to come”, Prime Minister Tony Blair to President G W Bush, 20 March 2003 as the Iraq war began [as quoted in Plan of Attack, Bob Woodward p399]. “An invasion of Iraq could turn the whole region into a cauldron and thus destroy the ‘war on terrorism’”, Brent Scowcroft, security adviser to Republican presidents since Nixon, on TV on 4 August 2002 [John Prados, Hoodwinked, p1] (story and 1 image)

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!

Comedy special: ‘Cheney’ warns Russia!
finn, Saturday, Sep 6 2008, 11:38pm
Everybody loves a good laugh and roaring laughter is not uncommon in the halls of power. Leaders throughout the world could not contain themselves after Dick ‘shotgun’ Cheney threatened Russia for intervening in S. Ossetia to stop a civilian massacre -- ORDERED BY U.S. PUPPET, Mikheil Saakashvili! Go get ‘em Dick, you psychopath -- we all ‘know’ the Russians are shakin’ in their boots! The laughter from the Kremlin can be heard around the globe, Mr Dick ‘Halliburton’ Cheney! (story and 2 images)

‘Show me where you sat on the axe!’
nano, Saturday, Sep 6 2008, 12:33am
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!

No further proof required -- McCain, mad as a meat axe!
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!

While people around the world begin to celebrate George W. Bush's January 20, 2009 departure from the White House, senior administration officials are crafting legislation, rule changes and executive orders that will make permanent the worst excesses of this criminal regime. (story and 1 comment)

Medvedev talks tough but US installations in Poland, Czech R. and Kosovo, SPEAK LOUDER
quin, Monday, Sep 1 2008, 11:28pm
Siberian tigers and five point plans are all hot air and theatrics in the face of REAL American installations in Kosovo and future missile offensive systems in Poland and the Czech Republic. Russians are culturally a bit slow and thick, so let’s spell it out once again.

From Putin’s Siberian tiger to Sarah Palin’s tits -- semiotic overload
finch, Monday, Sep 1 2008, 5:22am
The symbolism is not lost this week but it’s to be expected! From sabre rattling geopolitical confrontations between superpowers to the selection of presidential running mates prior to the US elections. Propagandists, ad men and marketers across the social, political and cultural divide are tugging at our basic instincts and collective archetypal (un)conscious. (story and 4 comments and 4 images)

Russia remains a Black Sea power
M K Bhadrakumar via rialator, Sunday, Aug 31 2008, 9:50am
If the struggle in the Caucasus was ever over oil and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization's (NATO's) agenda towards Central Asia, the United States suffered a colossal setback this week. Kazakhstan, the Caspian energy powerhouse and a key Central Asian player, has decided to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Russia over the conflict with Georgia, and Russia's de facto control over two major Black Sea ports has been consolidated.

Joe Biden: "The Real War" -- Russia, China, India!

On Aug 27 2008 at the Democratic Convention in Denver, Vice-presidential candidate Sen. Joseph Biden presented the plan for the real war, the war against China, Russia.

Obama’s ‘rhetorical flourishes’ cannot compensate for his LACK of INTEGRITY
barra, Friday, Aug 29 2008, 12:11am
The sideshow that is the American race for the presidency is characterised by one-liners, slogans and as the BBC so accurately put it -- especially in Obama’s case -- an abundance of meaningless persuasive expressions or “RHETORICAL FLOURISHES!” The description couldn’t be more accurate with Obama in his ‘flight’ for the presidency. However, people around the globe are not as stupid as the American masses. American tactics and strategies are transparent outside the USA! (story and 1 comment and 1 image)

Ask any American to define democracy!
yarrow, Thursday, Aug 28 2008, 4:33am
[The most amenable slave is one who thinks he is free; never before have so many surrendered their rights to so few.]
Propaganda minister Rupert Murdoch has thrown his media empire into overdrive in a vain attempt to alter historical fact. It was Georgian forces that invaded South Ossetia and targeted civilians; Russia responded to the attack and chased the US equipped, Israeli trained Georgian troops back into their holes! However, American media would have you believe that Russia is the aggressor. Perhaps next week they will dust off Bin Laden and utilise him to some advantage – you never know with America in election mode. Osama always managed to make an appearance whenever George W Bush needed a boost – what are friends of the family for? (story and 1 image)

Russia, Georgia, and the Kosovo Connection
J. Victor Marshall via reed, Thursday, Aug 28 2008, 3:08am
By selectively turning principles into propagandist slogans for scoring points, the United States no longer occupies the political high ground. Washington’s lectures sound like hectoring, not sincere admonitions that could sway international public opinion and restrain Russian actions.

Laughing all the way to a ‘first NUCLEAR strike!’
gan, Sunday, Aug 24 2008, 3:02am
History records the circumstances and strategies that Franklin D Roosevelt utilised against Imperial Britain during WWII. How he delayed US military involvement in the war until Churchill, in desperation, signed the Atlantic Charter, which effectively ended the British Empire. Such was Churchill's desperation and FDR's determination to subvert Imperial Britain that Roosevelt at one stage seemed as though he would only supply military hardware to a very beleaguered Britain. Section 3 of the Charter reads:
“Third, they respect the right of all peoples to choose the form of government under which they will live; and they wish to see sovereign rights and self government restored to those who have been forcibly deprived of them;” [Bye bye British Empire -- nice one, Franklin!] (story and 2 comments and 1 image)
