 Tony Abbott, ‘all errand, no boy!’
quill, Monday, Mar 15 2010, 5:53am
The Australian opposition leader, Tony Abbott is known as a combative, ultra-right wing, unapologetic, Catholic, arch-conservative – a PRODUCT not a person, a fabrication not an original! There is NOTHING in Abbott’s character that has not been created/superimposed by his ultra-conservative Catholic background – he is about as original as a Chinese fake! (story and 1 image)

 Speculation surrounds Obama’s proposed Oz ‘stopover!’
dasha, Sunday, Mar 14 2010, 8:25am
Amid heightened security concerns, the on-again, off-again Obama visit to Oz is generating more than its fair share of public criticism. Should recent media speculation on America’s real attitude to Oz, ‘a nation led by spineless, servile, lackeys of NO CONSEQUENCE,’ be safely ignored, or should it be taken seriously?

U.S. Vice-President is living in his own private ‘Israel’
river, Thursday, Mar 11 2010, 4:53am
The headline could have been pulled from a speech dictated to former Oz PM, John ‘deputy sheriff’ Howard, when he shocked average Aussies with the ‘news’ that “America has no better friend than Australia;” that claim certainly was news to the Oz population that have always viewed Americans with a derisive and suspicious eye! In yet another indication that the ruling elite has run out of tricks, almost the exact same line was adapted for the US-Israel relationship. (story and 1 image)

GUTLESS Oz LEADERS: not a word on Balibo murderers!
stan, Tuesday, Mar 9 2010, 4:46pm
True to form, our GUTLESS, cringing, servile, knee-padded, custard-faced leaders, Rudd and Abbott, have not made formal requests to the Indonesian President, during his Oz visit, to surrender the KNOWN murderers of the ‘Balibo 5.’ (story and 2 images)

Desperation Politics in Oz!
fray, Monday, Mar 8 2010, 6:05am
I never thought I’d live to see political conservatives propose a scheme that advantages working women with six months (full) paid parental leave, while directly hitting Big Business with the cost! Furthermore, in Alice’s inverted ‘Ozland’, traditional workers’ party and incumbent government, Labor, immediately sprang to the defence of Big Business! That’s a double-barrel blast from the inverted, bullshit gun. (story and 1 image)

Why do we bother?
val, Friday, Mar 5 2010, 8:57pm
The short answer is, ‘we don’t!’ Endless discussion and irrelevant discourse relating to our political leaders only serves to confuse and distract the population away from DEALING with the most unrepresentative, undemocratic governments in world history.

Oz PM a Philistine!
stan, Tuesday, Mar 2 2010, 10:19am
The Australian PM, Kevin ‘CENSORSHIP’ Rudd, has been rightly accused of philistinism by analysts, commentators and Australian artists. While in Adelaide the PM managed to avoid every major cultural event for which the city is known. For those not familiar with the term, wiki defines a Philistine as ‘a person that despises, undervalues or is unable to appreciate Art, Beauty, Intellectual Content, the Abstract, and Spiritual/Inspirational realities. Philistines are also said to be materialistic, conservative and favour convention.’ It is hardly surprising that a parochial bureaucrat from Pauline Hanson’s State of Queensland is a narrow minded materialist! Put in plain language Rudd is a lacklustre bureaucrat that lacks creativity, style, imagination, flair, and VISION -- don't we know it! (story and 1 image)

Kevin ‘mad cow’ Rudd, lifts ban on Beef Imports
bluey, Saturday, Feb 27 2010, 9:58am
After re-introducing REGRESSIVE INFORMATION CENSORSHIP and bypassing safety assessments to rush through the installation of DANGEROUS full-body X-ray scanners at Australian airports, we couldn’t imagine Rudd opposing the wishes of the public again. However, in a move guaranteed to make him a target for assassination, Rudd, against the wishes of growers, retailers and consumers (everyone), is lifting the ban on Mad Cow Beef imports! This is perhaps the most overtly contemptuous gesture Rudd has ever displayed toward the Australian public. A PM that totally disregards public opinion in favour of foreign interests (U.S. beef industry) is CLEARLY a traitor and should be tried for treason in an Australian court! (story and 1 image)

 TREASON, Government Ministers and Regulatory Agencies in Oz
quin, Thursday, Feb 25 2010, 6:36pm
Following the SURPEME COURT’S recent RULING AGAINST mega-Hollywood studios, media moguls, Murdoch and Stokes -- iiNet vs the ‘Plutocracy’ -- a functional and largely UNCORRUPTED Aussie LEGAL system has allowed another landmark case to proceed. Former Guantanamo detainee, Mamdouh Habib, won a Federal Court decision to proceed with an action against the Federal Government for complicity in his tortuous three-year ordeal at the hands of the CIA and other AMERICAN CRIMINAL ORGANISATIONS – no case was ever brought against Habib by the U.S. after three years of illegal detention, torture and rendition to various CIA torture facilities in Egypt, Pakistan and elsewhere.

World Tiring of America's Criminal Wars
major mitchell, Wednesday, Feb 24 2010, 7:23pm
China, the world’s most energy/resource hungry nation, has found it unnecessary to wage WAR in order to secure energy supplies. In stark contrast America’s WAR (plunder) first, diplomacy and LEGAL international trade last, policy, is earning it the undesirable reputation and rapidly diminishing support it deserves! Very soon America’s support base, largely BOUGHT, will disintegrate. The U.S. will not be able to bribe or buy a cup of coffee with a currency not worth the paper it’s printed on. In other words it’s over for the USA! Precipitating nuclear war (probably Iran) is last card for America. After thorough analysis and consideration of all the available evidence/information we urge the Sino-Russian alliance to pre-emptively and DECISIVELY strike in order to safeguard the WORLD from an insane, vicious, child-killing, mad-dog-nation!

Spin, subterfuge and diversion is NOT governance
Captain, Tuesday, Feb 23 2010, 7:31pm
Notwithstanding America’s current status as the world’s leading terrorist nation -- its criminal civilian killing record VERIFIES the FACT – the Oz PM, Kevin ‘US lackey’ Rudd, played a neo-con DIVISIONIST trick yesterday in a feeble and TRANSPARENT attempt to draw attention away from his and his Minister’s MISERABLE PERFORMANCE IN GOVERNMENT.

Incompetent Oz PM, Kevin ‘yes Rupert’ Rudd, attempts to portray Aussies as Terrorists
bluey, Monday, Feb 22 2010, 6:24pm
Kevin ‘photo-op’ Rudd, is arguably the most incompetent, narcissistic and ineffective Prime Minister Australia has ever had to suffer – his very brief and unfortunate tenure is threatening to annihilate Labor across the board, at Federal AND State levels! A lesson in populism you will not soon forget, gentlemen; populism going sour carries a very high penalty indeed – but its not too late, an unfortunate accident perhaps! (story and 1 image)

Allied offensive kills 12 civilians in Afghanistan
teale, Monday, Feb 15 2010, 4:57pm
"It's regrettable that in the course of our joint efforts, innocent lives were lost. We extend our heartfelt sympathies and will ensure we do all we can to avoid future incidents," NATO commander General Stanley McChrystal said in a statement yesterday. In the wake of over one million civilian deaths in Iraq, three million in Indo-China countless thousands in Afghanistan and Latin America, millions more by proxy in Indonesia and Malaya – American apologies and words of ‘regret’ not only ring hollow and insulting they CONFRONT and MOBILISE RESISTANCE! Allied forces have LOST before they have begun! [To FREEDOM FIGHTERS everywhere, Victory is assured – WE are ONE!] (story and 2 comments and 1 image)

Oz has disappointed her it seems, the fact (majority) non-Anglo Aussies ignored her entreaties to don jack boots, Swastika armbands and purge Australia of Europeans, Asians and other non-Anglos has forced her to look to ‘sunny England’ for refuge, they can have her – LOL!

Censorship Minister Conroy 'busted' for corrupt dealings
gan, Sunday, Feb 14 2010, 6:17am
Didn't we know it from the start! Censorship serves the interests of media corporations that wish to stifle competition from the Internet. With Kevin 'yes Rupert' Rudd as PM and Stephen 'snowing money' Conroy as minister for communications, media moguls have never had it so good! Money is no object, as the mass media is a money machine provided that competition from Internet Independents is managed by very convenient censorship legislation. $250 million reeks of CORRUPTION -- a FULL INQUIRY is certainly warranted for this overtly corrupt deal -- give us all a break, you servile, incompetent Labor politicians -- pathetic!

To Anonymous and ALL the crewz
Kismo, Wednesday, Feb 10 2010, 5:53pm
[Greetz to ALL the keyboard warriors and kiddies alike – We are ONE (we shouldn’t forget most of us started as kiddies!)]
The hacker group Anonymous, after a previous failed, but big hearted, attempt finally downed Oz government web sites with Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks – got there in the end dudes! But don’t forget to give credit where it’s due, to an early pioneer hacker and warrior, the man who developed the principles/STRATEGY, code and early tools to implement Denial of Service attacks, it was his brain and skill that downed Yahoo in the early days – no one thought it could be done, another barrier overcome – there are no limits to the skill and creative minds of elite hackers! So I take this opportunity to give credit where it’s due, to the man himself, ‘mixter’ – well done, you old cunt; we couldn’t have done it without you! (story and 1 comment)

Servile Rudd acquiesces to Washington’s demands!
ryall, Tuesday, Feb 9 2010, 7:41am
Despite clear warnings from scientists that exposure to direct radiation from body scanners is unsafe, our pathetic Washington lackey PM, Kevin ‘custard face’ Rudd, did not hesitate when America ordered the installation of full body scanners at Oz airports! Are we no longer capable of assessing the suitability of these costly, cumbersome and potentially lethal radiation machines? Must our custard-faced, gutless leaders, ‘yez boss’ every dictate from Washington without question; where is the evaluation and risk assessment to health, notwithstanding privacy issues? Let’s hear it from OUR EXPERTS not from a lackey (jellyfish) leader who snaps to attention whenever Washington demands! (story and 1 comment and 1 image)
