 Journalism: a matter of integrity and character
quill, Friday, Jan 8 2010, 7:23pm
Should WE be surprised that today’s mainstream journos have sold out to nefarious minority interests when most professions, which have traditionally served the public interest, sold out long ago? Should we commend journos for holding out so long before they too sold out or should we condemn them completely?

 US Administration finally discovers ‘real’ al-Qaeda stronghold in YEMEN!
birdie, Wednesday, Jan 6 2010, 9:54pm
WE should have known, especially after Obama’s own National Security Advisor, Gen. James Jones, stated that the ACTUAL number of al-Qaeda fighters in Afghanistan is "fewer than a hundred!" What! You mean thousands of innocent lives have been lost and the world’s most powerful military has been mobilsed to fight less than 100 fighters? Well, if nothing else it certainly portrays al-Qaeda as nothing short of superhuman, perhaps even divine! How else would it be possible for less than 100 fighters to take on the most powerful military in the world? Or is it perhaps the case that WE are being DECEIVED, YET AGAIN?

Oz government remains in Racist denial
snowy, Wednesday, Jan 6 2010, 7:57am
Like a recidivist alcoholic Kevin Rudd’s CENSORSHIP government continues to avoid the RACIST REALITY in Oz, and as every therapist would advise, you can’t cure a problem without first acknowledging it exists! The entire world is aware of xenophobic, racist, backward Australia thanks to former PM John Howard’s OVERT racism making headlines around the globe. However, an opportunity to HEAL and take the nation forward presented itself to pathetic little Kevin Rudd, who seems more concerned with CENSORSHIP issues and DENIAL than FACING leadership challenges!

Oz Racism: absurd claim made by useless Labor Politician
bluey, Monday, Jan 4 2010, 9:58pm
The Australian public broadcaster, which should know better than to run with and kow-tow to the new CENSORSHIP GOVERNMENT, ran a story on the COWARDLY, racially motivated, stabbing murder of a 21yo Indian student, titled: “No evidence for race link in Indian attacks ..” [Learn that banner headlines are important, Aunty!] (story and 2 comments and 1 image)

‘All the King’s minerals, and all the King’s (white) men …’
sadh, Sunday, Jan 3 2010, 8:49pm
Oz needs to have its ingrained racist nose rubbed in its mess before it will reform, it would seem. Recent news that a hard working, and promising young Indian student was viciously attacked and slain by Oz racists, identities unknown at this stage, serves to highlight the FACT that Australia REMAINS the world’s LEADING RACIST NATION. And who can we thank for exhuming the white Australia, racist corpse from its grave, why short term opportunist and War Criminal, John Howard and his chief racist strategist, Geoff Cousins – of what consequence is another DEAD darkie anyway? Well, RACIST Australia, you are about to find out!

A sucker’s Xmas: criminal execs shower themselves in bonuses
finch, Friday, Dec 25 2009, 8:59am
The excuse most often tendered to the public by Corporatists to justify their obscene bonuses is that “talent” demands these [unrealistic] salaries and bonuses! “Talent,” did you say?
The World is staring down the barrel of what promises to be the greatest economic collapse in recorded history and the clowns responsible are now labelling themselves as “TALENTED!” Well, if ‘that don’t beat all’ for sheer affrontery, ARROGANCE and CONTEMPT for the public.

War criminal, David Kilcullen, addresses National Press Club
sarge, Wednesday, Dec 23 2009, 11:38am
Dr David Kilcullen (UNSW) recently addressed the National Press Club in Canberra -- unfortunately I was unable to attend due to a prior commitment with freedom fighters! No great loss as Kilcullen is a very familiar piece of work, he is ‘stuck’ and always behaves in a predictable manner; his greatest skill is his gypsy ability to mirror reader/audience expectations and deliver what is expected not what is necessary, ‘but more on that later!’

CENSORSHIP in Oz: in your IT Face
Kismo, Monday, Dec 21 2009, 11:34pm
It is astounding that commentators and IT media in Oz CONTINUE TO DESCRIBE Kevin Rudd’s brazen INTERNET CENSORSHIP policy as ‘filtering’ – prohibition of media information of any type is CENSORSHIP; get it straight and USE the appropriate and ACCURATE TERM! If it requires rubbing the ringed and stupefied noses of some Aussie dreamboats in the soiled fabric of our language to get the point home, then so be it! (story and 1 comment and 2 images)

ACTIONS not words define REALITY
major mitchell, Saturday, Dec 19 2009, 11:10pm
The world’s leading TERRORIST and SOCIOPATHIC nation remains characteristically true to form -- this week, The United States of America expanded its civilian killing pursuits to Yemen where the use of inappropriate, disproportionate and imprecise (in the circumstances) Air strikes killed at least 63 civilians including 28 CHILDREN; God Bless America, indeed. It is clear that waging acquisitive warfare does not serve the interests of any Christian God but serves his archrival, Lucifer! So let’s call a spade a spade and a heinous, hypocritical, Criminal State exactly what it is!

"No binding agreements" -- Copenhagen ends in FAILURE
hue, Friday, Dec 18 2009, 8:20pm
Predictably, the Copenhagen Climate 'Accord' ended in FAILURE; participants were more concerned with national rather than planetary issues.
Participating representatives avoided binding agreements favouring instead the SHORT TERM ECONOMIC INTERESTS of their respective nations -- and therein lies the problem! (story and 1 comment and 1 image)

Kevin Rudd’s Last Stand at ‘Little Big’ Copenhagen
bluey, Thursday, Dec 17 2009, 8:59pm
One cannot help but draw parallels between the arrogance, foolhardiness and NARCISSISM of General George Armstrong Custer and his modern blonde counterpart, Kevin ‘photo-op’ Rudd. Both men share similar personality flaws, not the least being pathological narcissism, which also explains the one-man-band attitude of both men AND of course defines their greatest weakness and the inevitable cause of their ignominious FALL from grace.

Back to the 50’s – RETROGRESSIVE [Internet] Censorship in Oz
Kismo, Tuesday, Dec 15 2009, 8:12pm
It was clear from the outset that unpopular, UNDEMOCRATIC policies to CENSOR the free flow of information in Australia would be PUSHED THROUGH the legislative process by Kevin Rudd regardless of all opposition! A news release yesterday confirmed that Rudd’s Communications Minister and Murdoch errand boy, Stephen Conroy, would legislate – FORCE compliance in other words – new Internet CENSORSHIP laws by mid 2010!

 Politicians under direct attack: the times have changed
birdie, Monday, Dec 14 2009, 6:59am
If day follows night the growing trend of direct attacks on corrupt politicians will shortly be followed by direct attacks on the forces that control them. CORPORATISTS should follow the lead set by Goldman Sachs executives who have armed themselves in the event of a populist uprising against them – imagine that?

Oz Political Vermin Survival Strategies
dasha, Sunday, Dec 13 2009, 7:57am
In contrast to kitchen vermin, which always seek out dark cracks and crevices when under threat, Oz political vermin, when confronted with massive popularity/face LOSS -- failed ‘Messiah’ of ETS at ‘No-Hopen-Hagen;’ border 'protection;' pissweak whaling ‘warrior’ in our hemisphere; continuing BHP artesian water theft; wholesale rape of the nation by Corporations and gut-turning cowardice/compliance with every dictate of Washington regarding sending our troops to AMERICA’S ILLEGAL (and failed) WARS – but to the point; politicians, unlike their kitchen cockroach cousins, seek the LIMELIGHT to DISTRACT and survive when threatened with demise!

Radicalism in new Oz opposition may prove successful
spot, Thursday, Dec 10 2009, 9:14pm
It is no secret that Oz has been cursed with spineless, sycophantic, subservient (to Washington) national leaders since Paul ‘bank fees’ Keating. After the agonisingly long tenure of arch-conservative and WAR CRIMINAL, John Howard, Australia hoped beyond reason that the new PM Kevin ‘show pony’ Rudd would return the nation to its traditional cultural values, but alas, it is now painfully clear WE GOT STUCK WITH ANOTHER SERVILE, CONSERVATIVE NERD!

Washington dictates policy to PISSWEAK Oz PM, ‘Krudd’
snowy, Monday, Nov 30 2009, 6:18pm
The Australian PM’s subservience to Washington is sickening; Oz has had enough of spineless, servile ‘leaders’ kow-towing to Washington’s every whim! Kevin Rudd has not the skill to recover from the deep disaffection almost all Australians feel over ‘his’ latest decision to increase numbers of Aussie personnel – following increased troop numbers -- to Afghanistan. The guts of the nation turned today in total DISGUST and dismay; Australia and the ENTIRE WORLD HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF MASS MURDERING AMERICA and its FLAGRANTLY CRIMINAL WARS! (story and 1 image)

The Blue Buffoons of Oz
dasha, Tuesday, Nov 17 2009, 4:51pm
Oz police are on their own when it comes to gross incompetence, cowardice and the inability to use appropriate force. The latest episode highlights the FACT!
Confronting a man attempting self-harm today, our (genius) police opted to take the harm initiative themselves and shoot the man instead – the 35yo man is now in CRITICAL condition in intensive care – BRILLIANT, you fuckin’ MORONS! Never forget, police incompetence starts at the TOP with the (Labor) Minister and the Commissioner. [Update: The man died shortly after being admitted to hospital. Ed]

Demented America, more absurd by the day!
harley, Saturday, Nov 14 2009, 4:11am
Desperate for any diversionary tactic, the White House PR machine has opted to hold the trial of alleged 9/11 “mastermind,” Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, in New York! However, the problem for American ‘justice’ (ROFL) is the widespread knowledge of a ‘confession’ obtained under torture – Sheikh Mohammed was subjected to 183 separate instances of ‘waterboarding’ by the State -- and as any first year Law student would inform you, any case against the Sheikh would have been severely compromised as a result. But in the lobotomised land of cowboys, a minor technicality like a confession obtained under torture is not a problem -- the White House has been flouting every civilised Law in the world since the Balkan intervention – how many civilians have we killed this month, Uncle Sam?
