 Muted Victory for Ehren Watada
Laura Flanders via rialator, Tuesday, Nov 13 2007, 8:05pm
Nov 12 --This country sets aside two days to honor military service. On Veterans Day we celebrate the living; on Memorial Day we remember the dead. I'd like to propose a third national holiday: Active Duty day. A day to celebrate those who refuse to leave their conscience at home. A day to cherish those who elevate this nation's morals by refusing to participate in illegal acts.

 Australian racism and victimisation exposed YET AGAIN!
barra, Sunday, Nov 11 2007, 9:42am
The Straussian (see link) political ploy of managing entire populations with divisive, contractive, fearful, alarmist strategies is failing in exactly the same way as a previous scurrilous attempt made infamous by one Joseph McCarthy. The ‘new’ conservatives seem to have short memories or extremely inept research departments, either that or their arrogance has blinded them to the (known) consequences of their actions.

The Presidency is now a Criminal Conspiracy
Keith Olbermann via rialator, Tuesday, Nov 6 2007, 10:31am
SPECIAL COMMENT
By Keith Olbermann
Anchor, 'Countdown'
updated 6:42 p.m. PT, Mon., Nov. 5, 2007
It is a fact startling in its cynical simplicity and it requires cynical and simple words to be properly expressed: The presidency of George W. Bush has now devolved into a criminal conspiracy to cover the ass of George W. Bush.

Seeking Carmel Travers
barra, Sunday, Nov 4 2007, 11:09am
The title indirectly hints at the fact that this intro is an indictment of the current crop of Oz journalists and a tribute to Carmel Travers – who it seems was the last real Australian journalist willing to pursue the Truth at any cost.
In the wake of a damning report assessing declining press freedoms and disappearing government transparency, Travers’ outstanding professionalism and character shines like a beacon in the dark mire of selective, biased and servile reporting. Travers clearly refused to accommodate the new neatly ‘tailored’ form of journalism, which has more in common with propaganda and entertainment than investigative reporting. (story and 2 images)

Dunlavey: Guantanamo Mission Came Straight From Bush, Rumsfeld
Lisa Thompson via rialator, Saturday, Nov 3 2007, 10:31pm
When military investigators questioned Erie County Judge Michael E. Dunlavey about reported prisoner abuse during his tenure at the Guantanamo Bay camp for suspected terrorists, Dunlavey told them he got his “marching orders” from President Bush, according to a new book about U.S. policies regarding torture.

Collusion and Interference in State Institutions
nano, Thursday, Nov 1 2007, 11:58am
It is absolutely imperative in any democracy that legal, regulatory and other important State Institutions REMAIN INDEPENDENT and free of GOVERNMENT INTERFERENCE. However, in America today we witness flagrant attempts by the Bush regime to commandeer legal and regulatory organisations to the neo-conservative ideology and cause -- the result of these outrageous interventions has been the wholesale subversion of the founding democratic principles of the nation.

No Glass Darker
teepee, Monday, Oct 1 2007, 11:51am
When the Law and other state institutions fail the people it is always Art that comes to the rescue. The power inherent in Art is beyond estimation. When thousands of words fail to deliver, an image strikes its target with an accuracy that weapons-makers can only envy. The following image of the military crackdown in Burma needs no explanation; it spills over and continues to haunt via its stirring of the collective conscience. All unjust, criminal States are indicted by a few strokes of the brush and scratches of the pen. (story and 3 images)

A Kalashnikov for Christmas
Captain, Monday, Sep 24 2007, 2:32pm
Today, the USA is without peer as the foremost terrorist organisation in the world. We should have known! Early efforts of two atomic bomb drops on civilian targets in Japan and carpet bombings of two million Indo-Chinese civilians have been challenged with the continuing mayhem and destruction in Iraq, which today ‘boasts’ a holocaust in progress as good as any other in history. Over one million dead civilians, four million displaced persons and a nation in ruin. Donald Rumsfeld was right for once in his demented life when he stated plainly to the world that U.S. invaders (military) were NOT nation builders – hardly surprising!

Once should be enough
Kingfisher, Wednesday, Aug 22 2007, 12:36pm
How many times must criminals in government BE EXPOSED before they ARE EXPOSED? That is the question today. Inept, deceptive and criminal conservative governments from Bush to Howard have been exposed for criminal activities and incompetence so many times this writer has lost count yet not one senior official has been jailed! Executive and legislative powers in the hands of criminals subvert every aspect of honest government. From the Libby presidential pardon in the US to the scapegoating of Haneef in Oz, governments reek of total corruption and abuse of power. The people may have had enough -- will the culpable finally be brought to justice? (story and 1 comment)

Haneef visa reinstated: costs awarded against government
nano, Monday, Aug 20 2007, 11:00am
Australian justice prevails against racist Howard government and lackey immigration minister, Kevin Andrews. The retrogressive Howard government has been given a clear and firm message from the Australian people via the Legal system. Howard has done more to damage Oz’s good name in the international arena than any Australian Prime Minister in modern history. Howard and his contractive, backward looking, divisive policies have unnecessarily compromised all Australians who travel and serve their nation overseas. Perhaps the most effective healing gesture for the nation would be to completely remove all vestiges of Howard’s presence from the political landscape; the forthcoming elections provide the perfect opportunity for all Australians to clearly state their opposition to regressive, inward-looking, contractive conservatism.

Haneef: Mickey Mouse Indian ‘dossier’ appears!
nano, Wednesday, Aug 1 2007, 1:00pm
A clear indication that Australian ‘authorities’ are culpable in their treatment of Dr Haneef is when the investigation departs into the fantastic. Police are presently making amorous advances in the direction of the absurd, ludicrous and fantastic – I knew my literature major would come in handy one day – fiction of the absurd, metafiction, fabulation and various other genres may all converge and lay claim to the Haneef FARCE but the world of reality can make no claim whatsoever!

Osama Bin Haneef
quin, Wednesday, Aug 1 2007, 1:24am
Either Dr. Mohamed Haneef is the most cunning and brazen terrorist the world has ever seen or he’s innocent of all the slurs and accusations levelled at him. Some of us with an attention span of more than a minute remember the Chamberlain case and the appalling behaviour of the local media at the time. For a brief moment Australia became the envy of Alabama, a truly worthy achievement. (story and 1 image)

Prod often enough and hard enough and watch a Liberal drop his bundle. Kevin Andrews finally responded to the challenge and revealed information relating to the cancellation of Haneef’s visa. However, a cursory analysis exposes the very thin and weak ‘evidence’ Andrews presented to the public. (story and 1 comment and 1 image)

Haneef challenges Minister: nothing to hide
peptide, Monday, Jul 30 2007, 12:25pm
Dr. Mohamed Haneef effectively challenged the Australian Minister of Immigration, Kevin Andrews, to reveal information relating to the cancellation of his visa. Haneef has nothing to hide as his challenge to Andrews clearly indicates, "I don't know what reasons he has [for revoking visa]. I would like him to come forward and give these facts," Haneef stated to the media in Bangalore. The onus is now on the flagrantly racist Australian government whose international reputation is in tatters over the scapegoating of an Indian doctor for purely political purposes.

Oz Law Council pours scorn on farcical and mentally incompetent Authorities
Kingfisher, Tuesday, Jul 24 2007, 2:19pm
Most professional criminologists are familiar with criminal dissociation and denial; in lay terms the victim or ‘other’ is always responsible or at ‘fault,’ the perpetrator never accepts responsibility for their (criminal) actions – ‘they/you’ are responsible never me! In view of this pathological condition it is hardly surprising that authorities display dissociative pathologies when confronted with their deeds. In the face of the rising civilian death toll in Iraq, which recent John Hopkins studies place at close to one million innocent souls, responsibility for these deaths is avoided like the plague! The criminals who disregarded international law and UN reports in order to gain control of Iraq's precious oil resource are known to history and the world, yet the silence surrounding their guilt is 'deafening.'

Racist Howard government Exposed
nano, Thursday, Jul 19 2007, 2:17pm
It appears the Australian Howard government has utilised an Indian medical doctor as a scapegoat for purely political purposes. New information contradicting ‘evidence’ supplied by the crown prosecutor regarding the exact location of the discovery of Dr. Haneef’s SIM card -- upon which the crown bases its entire case -- clearly exposes an appalling fabrication, beat-up and collusion. It seems that government ministers and high ranking public servants are involved in a sordid strategy designed to enhance Howard’s re-election prospects – which are now diminishing by the minute!

Haneef: leaked transcript incriminates Howard government
peptide, Tuesday, Jul 17 2007, 12:08pm
A leaked transcript of a Federal Police interview with Dr. Haneef, reveals that Dr. Haneef denied all knowledge of the UK bombings and that he had given his pre-paid SIM card to his cousin over a year ago as it was no use to him outside the UK. Howard and his flunkey ministers have been exposed YET AGAIN for tampering with the facts, usurping due process and interfering with proceedings for purely political purposes.

ACCC takes 'deceptive' Google to court
Mark Schliebs via reed, Wednesday, Jul 11 2007, 9:15pm
[To Google with biased love:
Industry analysts and IT professionals are extremely familiar with Google’s unfair practices. Google itself advertised the fact that it would toss information freedom and fair play to the wind for a price. The entire free world witnessed Google openly sell its 'integrity' to the communist totalitarian regime of China, proving without doubt that it consciously engages in the most appalling partiality and bias.
We wish the Oz Competition and Consumer Commission all success and we wish Google the justice it deserves.
