  Astounding!
finn, Saturday, Feb 14 2009, 9:55pm
Who would have thought that invaded peoples in Indo-China, Central Asia, Africa, the Pacific Islands and other regions would fight for their traditional lands, homes, families and cultural identities? And who would have thought that people threatened with subservience to foreign cultures and ideologies would emphatically reject wearing baseball cap headdress – absolutely astounding?

major mitchell, Friday, Feb 13 2009, 10:25pm
For the past four years contributors to this site have predicted total economic collapse – the death of capitalism in all its forms by 2010 – search the site; no more spoon feeding the useless! (story and 1 comment)

The New Thought Police
James Bamford via leafers, Friday, Feb 13 2009, 8:41am
The National Security Agency (NSA) is developing a tool that George Orwell's Thought Police might have found useful: an artificial intelligence system designed to gain insight into what people are thinking. (story and 1 image)

Home of the brave, where?
beak, Tuesday, Feb 10 2009, 7:44pm
All we see in America is a servile, whipped-dog-obedient, cowering, long-suffering, SLAVE population that takes ever more abuse, hardship and maltreatment from its incompetent leaders and corporate ruling elites. (story and 3 comments)

Obama offers Rudd ‘prayers!’
yarra, Monday, Feb 9 2009, 10:18pm
In another major expression of convoluted and inverted 'neo-liberal-conservative' logic/values, President Baa’raack O’Fraud, contacted Oz’s, Kevin ’07,’ and offered his prayers for the victims of INADEQUATE, INEPT, SUBSTANDARD, CLEARLY INCOMPETENT GOVERNMENT, a reality the Victorian bushfires tragically highlighted.

Keith Olbermann's scathing attack on war criminal Cheney leads America in WRONG direction!
nose, Friday, Feb 6 2009, 10:58pm
Outside America we are not so easily distracted, duped OR MISLED! It is NOT a matter of "leave the country" (stated with downcast eyes, Mr Keith Olbermann) or finalising your attack on Cheney with "GO!" It is QUITE THE OPPOSITE!!

‘Yes we can,’ what?
dingo, Thursday, Feb 5 2009, 7:45pm
A previous post put it to the American people clearly and without ambiguity; “well, what the fuck CAN YOU?” During the US election campaign the world watched with great amusement (millions) of mindless American morons chanting “YES WE CAN!” Another typically ambiguous and directionless chant/slogan missing the VITAL QUALIFIER to give it meaning and DIRECTION!

The War on Terror is a Hoax
Paul Craig Roberts via rialator, Wednesday, Feb 4 2009, 8:52pm
"The most obvious indication that there are no terrorist cells is that not a single neocon has been assassinated.
I do not approve of assassinations, and am ashamed of my country’s government for engaging in political assassination. The US and Israel have set a very bad example for al Qaeda to follow."

A world of inverted values and priorities
leafers, Monday, Feb 2 2009, 8:28pm
In a world of inverted logic and values war becomes peace and a holocaust – one million dead civilians in Iraq – becomes liberty and democracy! The perpetrators of these crimes enjoy not only their freedom but receive medals and accolades for their ‘efforts’ – fair fuckin’ go! (story and 2 comments and 2 images)

A Sovereignty Primer
Zed, Sunday, Feb 1 2009, 10:36am
Recent history has CLEARLY revealed the criminal and corrupt nature of Western governments; the issue is no longer whether they are corrupt it’s what to do in the face of flagrant incompetence, corruption and criminality displayed by our governments.
Regardless of where it may lead – hopefully social reform -- the very first legal and responsible act is to declare ourselves SOVEREIGN entities and reserve our right NOT to be imposed upon by criminals, brutes and thugs masquerading as stewards and guardians of a our values, laws and ethical codes; all of which have been attacked and subverted by modern Western governments!

A Procession of Fools
peptide, Saturday, Jan 31 2009, 4:10am
The leading contributing factor to the liberation of the enslaved masses in the early 21st century was the brazen and overt criminality of the Bush and other allied regimes. The Bush regime singlehandedly and irreparably undermined every aspect of social cohesion, traditional value, regulation and legality in the western world. Among its most outstanding ‘achievements’ are a civilian holocaust in Iraq, perpetrated in the name of ‘liberty, freedom and democracy,’ and the blind pursuit of de-regulated, free-market capitalism, which culminated in the destruction of the GLOBAL economy! No small feats considering Bush’s tenure in office was only eight short years! (story and 1 comment)

The World Won't Buy Unlimited U.S. Debt
Peter Schiff via rialator, Saturday, Jan 24 2009, 8:17pm
Barack Obama has spoken often of sacrifice. And as recently as a week ago, he said that to stave off the deepening recession Americans should be prepared to face "trillion dollar deficits for years to come." But apart from a stirring call for volunteerism in his inaugural address, the only specific sacrifices the president has outlined thus far include lower taxes, millions of federally funded jobs, expanded corporate bailouts, and direct stimulus checks to consumers. Could this be described as sacrificial?

Obama’s lack of integrity alienates world
Kingfisher, Friday, Jan 23 2009, 5:40pm
Obama has alienated a world that believed his message of ‘hope and change!’ His FAILURE to pursue the many torturers and war criminals of the previous administration is perhaps the primary factor contributing to the massive disillusionment of the people. (story and 2 comments)

Arrogance, unilateralism and contempt for the world
yarra, Friday, Jan 23 2009, 7:46am
The revolving door of American politics has returned the ‘A’ team to office; you remember, the Clinton gang of criminals and murderers that implemented the Balkan strategy in ’99, the model which Bush happily exported to Iraq and Afghanistan but failed to implement in Georgia, South Ossetia!

Pipsqueak Australian PM feigns indignation
barra, Wednesday, Jan 21 2009, 11:44pm
The Australian PM, Kevin ’07,’ took a swipe at an Islamic cleric today over comments made, 5 years ago during a sermon, regarding a man’s 'Koranic right' to chastise his wife and have sex on demand. It is no secret this site views ALL religions as archaic/primitive forms of social slavery and oppression but let’s get it RIGHT Mr ‘grab-a-headline’ Rudd! Perhaps we should refer to Jewish ideology and Laws relating to RACISM in this fair land before feigning cultural indignation! (story and 2 comments and 1 image)

Gaza: 'Apocalypse'
cleaves, Sunday, Jan 18 2009, 10:22pm
Australian aid worker, Tim Costello, has described the scene and conditions in Gaza since the Israeli onslaught as “Apocalyptic!” Tim Costello is apt to use biblical terminology as he is a practicing Christian. He is also known to Aussies as the older brother of former Treasurer to the Howard government, Peter Costello. I mention his background and creds in order to highlight that this man, who has seen many disasters, including the Asian tsunami and Burma cyclone, is not given to exaggeration.
