 Hey America!
quin, Friday, Jan 14 2011, 9:04pm
Maintaining military occupations in foreign lands in the 21st century is simply UNTENABLE – didn’t you know? Experts are aware you have already lost the most important battle of your war for world supremacy – the battle for the hearts and minds of the population of the WORLD.

War Crimes Incorporated
gan, Thursday, Jan 13 2011, 8:33pm
Today’s unwanted but NECESSARY home Truth is, Drone ‘warfare’ is a WAR CRIME. It kills far more civilians than combatants. It fuels VEHEMENT opposition to the U.S. and its puppet allies. But worst of all, it clearly indicates the FAILURE of the U.S. military and their best strategists to deal legally with modern warfare. (story and 1 comment)

 Assange, a 'martini-drinking' common blackmailer
nano, Thursday, Jan 13 2011, 4:39am
No one in the spotlight is really able hide their true nature; every action, from subtle facial expressions to overt behaviour and emphatic discourse reveals much and so it is with onetime media glamour boy, Julian Assange. (story and 1 image)

Yes, we CAN RESTORE our DEMOCRACIES
paladin, Wednesday, Jan 12 2011, 7:28am
The following video is an INSPIRING compilation of speeches and responses by Jack Kennedy, Martin Luther King and Texan Libertarian, Ron Paul.
The conservative executive, Bankers and Corporatists behind them, had two of these men assassinated; is it not time to bring today's KNOWN criminals to trial? The criminal Corporatist elites have wrought so much misery and havoc on the world that we simply cannot allow it to continue.. YES WE CAN RID OURSELVES OF THE CRIMINAL FILTH THAT HAVE HIJACKED OUR GOVERNMENTS AND DEMOCRACIES. (story and 2 comments)

Rumsfeld’s Book Release – 'Known and Unknown'
quill, Sunday, Jan 9 2011, 6:52pm
Call me old fashioned but I cannot for the life of me understand why or how a ‘KNOWN’ WAR CRIMINAL is able to brazenly engage in a tawdry exercise of revisionism, self-justification and apologetics for one of the most incompetent and criminal regimes in U.S. history.

Racial Divide USA
swift, Sunday, Jan 9 2011, 8:09am
Think of the LEGION of Corporate and Wall St criminals that instigate wars, corrupt our governments, destroy global economies, pollute our planet, destroy our jobs and continue to receive bonuses. Contrast the treatment of brazen 'white' collar criminals with the unjust VICTIMIZATION of blacks and other racial minorities in America.
The United States is not becoming a Police State, it IS a Police State, as this shocking video clearly indicates.

Pentagon Guilty of Criminal Negligence in Iraq -- countless lives needlessly lost
swift, Friday, Jan 7 2011, 9:12pm
The following story does an admirable job of describing past events that clearly reveal the incompetence and bungling of the US military during its illegal invasion of Iraq. Indeed, any person, organisation or nation that has had any experience with the yanks knows only too well the lack of expertise, gross negligence and dangerous rustic arrogance that characterises everything American, including its Corporate controlled military. But the story fails miserably in ONE critical area, ANALYSIS! (story and 1 image)

Gay American Novelist Rolls in Pink Grave
snowy, Wednesday, Jan 5 2011, 10:48pm
Mark Twain, famous homosexual social commentator, journalist, raconteur, novelist and adventurer must be having a fit in fag heaven at the moment. An oft quoted Twainian statement, "the difference between the almost right word and the right word is … the difference between the lightening bug and lightning," becomes highly relevant today as the U.S., in true Orwellian mode, and without any intervention from the Capitol, flagrantly attempts to re-write American history.

U.S. Fears Becoming ‘Paper Tiger’
dasha, Tuesday, Jan 4 2011, 6:55pm
“Darrell Issa, who will take over as chairman of the House of Representatives oversight committee and is calling for Mr Holder's resignation, said of Mr Assange in an interview on Sunday: ''If the President says, 'I can't deal with this guy as a terrorist,' then he has to be able to deal with him as a criminal. Otherwise the world is laughing at this paper tiger we've become.'' (story and 1 comment)

Beware of Gross Simplifications
quill, Wednesday, Dec 29 2010, 7:24pm
It could easily be said that biological simplifications are ultra-conservative world views; we all remember the Nazi 'master race' and the, ‘them or us’ simplification of dubya Bush, “you’re either with us or you're with the terrorists!” Banal and simplistic statements/logic are indeed the hallmark of CONSERVATISM. It would seem that the brain function -- or rather lack thereof -- associated with the fear response relates directly to LOW LEVELS of INTELLIGENCE rather than physiology, and as our readership is well aware, knowledge dramatically reduces FEAR; put simply, we are afraid of what we do not know -- IGNORANCE in other words, as stated many times on this site, is the ‘MOTHER OF FEAR.’ (story and 2 comments and 1 image)

The Assange Distraction, it’s Working!
bluey, Saturday, Dec 25 2010, 6:41am
Now that vociferous progressive feminists, Rachel Maddow included, are supporting the two Swedish women that have made “rape” allegations against Julian Assange, the principal issues of the WikiLeaks exposures have all but vanished from public view; would anyone care to guess what they are again – LOL? For those easily distracted by dykes, nerds and fame seekers of every hue, a gentle reminder; the main issues are ACCOUNTABILITY, STATE TERRORISM, and PURSUING WAR CRIMINALS in HIGH OFFICE etc. (story and 1 comment and 2 images)

Think Nothing of it/YOU!
baz, Friday, Dec 24 2010, 8:48pm
Dr Mohamed Haneef, a ‘dark-skinned’ politically scapegoated and victimised Indian national, recently returned to Oz to receive fair, just and DUE compensation for the ordeal he suffered at the hands of the overtly RACIST Howard conservative government. The fervour with which Ministers and the ‘drunken dropkick’ Federal Police Chief of the time, Mick Keelty, pursued this gross injustice was, by Oz standards, quite extraordinary. Keelty spared no expense (millions of taxpayer dollars in fact) in the FAILED attempt to FRAME an INNOCENT MAN on terrorist charges. The Haneef scandal will forever stain the Australian historical record. (story and 2 images)

Be Wise, be Careful, and be Devastatingly Effective

Can you blame the youth of the world for resorting to violent tactics in Europe and fighting fire with fire? It is understandable; however, it plays into the hands of the ruling elites and gives them EVERY excuse to tighten their already constrictor-like grip on our liberties and freedoms.

Christmas for Secularists
dion, Wednesday, Dec 22 2010, 9:12am
It’s that time of year again when Christians celebrate the birth of their saviour on the traditional winter solstice pagan calendar. That aside for the moment, it is remarkable how little Christians know about their religion. A good example is the outrageous consumerism and waste that occurs at this time of year, which would undoubtedly be condemned by the Christian saviour himself. Consider Jesus’ loathing of money and wealth; there is no record of Christ even carrying money, on the occasions the Gospels refer to money to illustrate a point, Jesus requests that it be brought to him! Aversion to money seems to be a widespread 'oversight' that affects most Christians and Christian theologians these days, especially the gold-laden Roman Catholic Church and other major Christian groups – brazen HYPOCRITES the lot of them!

Assange, a Paris Hilton with a high IQ
stylus, Tuesday, Dec 21 2010, 8:47pm
You had us all going for a minute, Julian; the world was briefly mesmerised by the Assange media circus and the hope of justice and real reform. You played the disgruntled, hope-seeking, frustrated public like a violin. Many continue to be fascinated by the spin but a book deal so soon – and perhaps a Hollywood movie contract – defines you as just ANOTHER fame seeking, self-serving ‘it’s all about ME,’ personality – same ol’ crap, different wrapper, Paris, oops, I mean, Julian!

US Vice-President Biden echoes Sarah Palin’s accusation of Assange
styx, Sunday, Dec 19 2010, 11:04pm
Yessiree Bob, no surprises from good ol’ America. The vacuum-headed former governor of Alaska, Sarah ‘suck my cock’ Palin, has found herself an unlikely supporter in her war against reason, rationality and sanity. Her inane comment that Julian Assange of WikiLeaks should be deemed a terrorist and hunted down has gained support from the Obama (corporate) proxy administration. The latest comment to issue from the continental insane asylum, called America – from the Vice-President no less – is that Julian Assange should be regarded as a “high-tech terrorist” and hunted down for revealing incontestable proof that America is the world’s leading civilian killing, THEREFORE OVERTLY TERRORIST nation. The American administration is really beginning to grate on the collective reason, rationality and sanity of the international community. (story and 1 comment and 2 images)

Assange to enjoy a "Martini with Friends" while Bradley Manning rots in Solitary

Spare a thought for Bradley -- the slow and Insidious Torture of Private Manning
snowy, Thursday, Dec 16 2010, 9:44pm
With all the fanfare and media flurry surrounding the colourful, mysterious and clearly captivating character of Julian Assange, very few people are sensitive to the plight of Private Bradley Manning, the alleged leaker of secret files to WikiLeaks. We would remind Mr Assange that he has a responsibility to Bradley Manning; we therefore request that he directs as much attention to the plight of Private Manning as possible.

Julian Assange’s Bail application Successful
gan, Tuesday, Dec 14 2010, 9:02am
The extremely compromising (for the persecutors) unjustified and politically motivated incarceration of WikiLeaks' spokesperson Julian Assange in London has ended [update details below] today with his release on bail – I would hasten to add that more than the British judiciary heaved a sigh of relief at the Courts decision today. [Swedish authorities appealed the decision on the basis that Assange presents as a 'flight risk!' Assange remains in solitary confinement pending a final decision by the British Legal System.
