 The Cure and the Disease
tom, Sunday, Apr 29 2012, 10:08am
I was particularly amused by the title of a piece (linked) written by veteran Oz political journo, Michelle Grattan, regarding Australia's backstabbing, TOXIC PM, Juliar 'Carbon Sachs' Gillard. It read, "Gillard tries to stop the rot;" hilarious, as Gillard is the rot! It's like sending in 'Typhoid Mary' to cure typhus or Dracula to manage the blood bank. Juliar Gillard has single handedly completely destroyed the Australian Labor Party both at State and Federal levels. Her appalling backstabbing of the public (and Rudd) over the Carbon Tax is the primary reason she has become the first 'political leper' in Australian history -- how anyone imagined she would get away with such a GROSSLY traitorous act, is beyond my comprehension and the Oz publics' judging by catastrophic State Labor losses in recent elections.

Pilotless aircraft or Drones are sitting ducks in the sky, any antiquated PILOTED jet fighter is able to knock them out of the sky with EASE, so why all the terror and hype surrounding Drones? Also, understand that ALL air forces world wide know the above facts/truth. (story and 1 image)

One useful Neocon Legacy
piri, Saturday, Apr 28 2012, 11:47am
The American Imperialist agenda that the neocons launched so effectively and that Obama pursues to this day, has a single positive element to it, perhaps confirming something my granny once told me as a child, 'nothing is all bad or good,' though the neocons came awfully close to being all bad. In hindsight it appears the neocons did humanity a great service by demonstrating how utterly servile, useless and fearful today's American masses are! (story and 1 image)

Assange's WT -- failure to address core issues
xerces, Wednesday, Apr 25 2012, 10:12pm
Assange's inept ability as a journalist was clearly evident in his last show (linked) but what is worse is confirmation of what many people suspected all along regarding a character who receives SUSTAINED, global mainstream press coverage. We should not forget that the corporate press portrayed Assange as a highly intelligent 'gifted hacker' -- however, no evidence verifying those claims has been forthcoming to date.

 The Crucifixion of Joy
ryall, Wednesday, Apr 25 2012, 12:31am
I hadn’t thought about it before, a reader brought it to my attention.
I am a poet and am predisposed to joy, happiness and love – inherent traits in all human beings. But as is so clear today, these (now rare) traits and emotions are fragile and must be nurtured, protected and allowed to reach their full potential and STRENGTH in order to withstand the massive depressing, TOXIC forces of American culture and society – the sickest, most destructive culture that exists on the planet today!

Stand Corrected, Napoleon!
cid, Monday, Apr 23 2012, 5:41am
It was Napoleon Bonaparte who famously stated that China was the sleeping giant and to be aware of its inevitable awakening. However, Napoleon's perceptions were limited by the cultural consciousness of his time. China has awakened and is predictably threatening the balance of global power, but what's new? Nations rising and falling is an old story. THE SLEEPING GIANT IS NOT CHINA, but the PEOPLE, the GLOBAL POPULATION is the REAL SLEEPING GIANT today! People everywhere are sick and tired of corrupt governments and elite rule. (story and 1 image)

Inept Oz Governments Allow Outrageous Corporate Profiteering at Public's Expence
staff report via lynx, Sunday, Apr 22 2012, 8:49am
Successive SPINELESS and SERVILE Oz governments have allowed Corporations to EXPLOIT average Aussies for decades without demanding explanations for BRAZEN overcharging. Australian's pay 150% more for their electricity than Canadians for no good reason, well, there is one, Aussies are apathetic, gutless morons that accept overcharging by Corporations without protestation, so why should government worry?

The Circular, Ineffective Discourse of the American Left
rad, Saturday, Apr 21 2012, 10:55pm
During my university days I learned to emulate my Academic lecturers -- it reduced to stating the obvious in the most tortured, convoluted and obscure language possible. After I became proficient in this retrogressive art I began receiving high grades and so I continued this conscious (but ridiculous) process until I graduated -- after which time I quickly abandoned this absurd practice.

 WikiLeaks Lawyer: bureaucratic bungle exposes AMERICAN watch list
taggart, Friday, Apr 20 2012, 9:10am
Jennifer Robinson, pretty young flirtatious lawyer for Julian Assange, (toughen up girl, you are playing in the big league now) wants answers regarding her status on an "inhibited travel list." Robinson was recently stopped at Heathrow airport and informed she would require approval from Australia House to board her flight to Sydney. (story and 1 comment and 1 image and 1 audio file)

Eunuch Oz Treasurer Wayne Swan Squeals at Banks
grip, Friday, Apr 13 2012, 11:44pm
Wayne Swan, the impotent Labor Party Treasurer of Australia seems to be having some difficulty with the Big Banks yet again. He seems to have forgotten he is the representative of the people and has a mandate to regulate the banks whenever necessary -- it was Labor PM, Paul 'fingers' Keating, who deregulated the banking sector and allowed banks to rapidly increase (via parasitic fees) their wealth which they have NOT distributed fairly throughout the community. Unfair services fees, which Keating gifted banks, are nothing short of THEFT. (story and 1 image)

Oz Greens Leader 'Retires'
trev, Thursday, Apr 12 2012, 11:18pm
Australian Greens leader, Bob 'poop pusher' Brown, who helped saddle the Australian people with a crucifying Carbon Tax for Wall Street Bankers, has suddenly retired from active political life. Brown, an infamous homosexual (a la Obama) and nefarious ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT supporter, is on record for (pathologically) mentioning his mother during parliamentary debates, for Christ's sake! Brown has either been pushed or has jumped ship. He and fellow Washington lackey Labor leader Juliar 'five US bases' Gillard, have become the focus of national loathing for serving foreign interests rather than the Australian people. The writing was on the wall! (story and 1 image)

America Confirms Status as Land of the Moron
judd, Tuesday, Apr 10 2012, 11:43pm
According to a recent poll 84% of Americans believe that Iran is attempting to develop nuclear weapons -- now, I wonder how those ill-informed idiots arrived at that conclusion? Perhaps via the same means the same idiots were led to believe that an invasion of Iraq was necessary because Saddam had WMDs, mobile chemical weapons labs and uranium centrifuges for making nuclear weapons -- none of it was true but then TRUTH is a stranger to America.

The Measure of a Reprehensible Political Criminal
baz, Tuesday, Apr 10 2012, 10:16am
Some would remember, though most would prefer to forget, John Howard, former Oz PM and the third member of the coalition of willing criminals that led the illegal invasion on Iraq on behalf of Oil Companies and other vested Commercial interests. Today we know that that criminal enterprise resulted in over one million civilian deaths and four million displaced persons. Bush, Blair and Howard all LIED on record regarding the existence of WMD; Blair, in an effort to top the other two lying criminals, stated in parliament that Saddam could launch an attack on Britain in 45 of the most absurd minutes that modern history has recorded -- it was a surreal period in world history, one in which the law was completely subverted by a cabal of sociopathic elites and corporate criminals at the very top echelon of global society.

 'Limits to Growth' Warning confirmed in latest Study
dwayne, Sunday, Apr 8 2012, 1:11am
A recent study by Australian CSIRO scientist, Graham Turner, confirms that the world 'end game' scenario projected by an earlier (1972) MIT study is not only accurate but is ahead of schedule. The original study was commissioned by the Rockefellers and other eugenicists at the time. It verifies the end of the world as we know it if today's levels of consumption/'growth' are not drastically curtailed. (story and 2 images and 3 attached files)

Banners and False Flags: ANONYMOUS Hacks China Gov
lyx, Saturday, Apr 7 2012, 10:54pm
It seems government sponsored armies of Chinese hackers just got a taste of their own medicine but I would sound a warning to all the younger crewz that various western criminal organisations such as the USAF and Washington gov are conducting attacks under the flags of foreign nations. This situation presents an opportunity for experienced members and a 'tread carefully' alarm for the inexperienced legions of 'scripters.' (story and 1 image)

Accurate News – The War is Lost!
gire, Friday, Mar 30 2012, 10:48pm
There are many wars and fronts raging today, even as I write; but few are given accurate coverage by the Corporate media for obvious reasons. The title refers to a war that ruling financial elites and plutocrats lost decades ago; principally due to the avaricious fact that ruling elites were too busy feeding at the trough of their ill-gotten gains to notice they had been completely out-manoeuvred, ‘surrounded’ and strategically defeated.
