 Censorship addicted Oz LABOR government – have WE had enough yet?
dasha, Wednesday, Mar 9 2011, 9:36pm
The latest PATERNALISTIC, unnecessary, social intervention by Gillard’s -- the most unpopular Labor Government in Australian history -- emanates from yet another anal Labor minister who wishes to apply the RC ‘refused classification’ category, a Stephen Conroy invented euphemism for overt CENSORSHIP, to smartphone apps – what next? Give the Oz public a break and just piss off, or cop a hiding at the elections that would go down in history.

 A Tempting Target -- World’s Filthy Rich to meet at Davos
fleet, Wednesday, Jan 26 2011, 10:34pm
According to Forbes, the world’s wealthiest ‘criminals’ (there is no other way to accrue such vast amounts of money) are soon to have their regular gathering at Davos, Switzerland. [“It may well be the greatest concentration of wealth in any one place,” is how Forbes reporter, Luisa Kroll, describes the ‘gathering.’]
It was all I could do to refrain from contacting some Air Force buddies to see what they could do with one well placed missile! There is no doubt that this confab of parasitic scum presents, in today’s world, as an extremely tempting target for the oppressed starving masses and freedom loving people everywhere – I wonder what the starving and EXPLOITED are doing while these parasites discuss various means to enhance their already OBSCENE wealth and the power it affords them?

Military documents obtained by the American Civil Liberties Union after a lengthy lawsuit under the Freedom of Information Act provide important new evidence of American war crimes. The documents include autopsy reports and investigative reports on the deaths of 190 prisoners held by the US military at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba and in Iraq and Afghanistan. (story and 1 image)

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)

Australian Federal Police supplied ‘hit lists’ to special forces in Afghanistan
Stephen C. Webster via gan, Tuesday, Dec 28 2010, 7:59pm
[A revealing article on the expansion of police powers around the globe, which any healthy society would welcome but for questions of corruption and bias.
The Interpol listed (since the 90's) crime boss, Hashim Thaci, Prime Minister of the illegally excised Serbian province of Kosovo has enjoyed the protection of the USA and its allies since they installed him as puppet PM of the illegally appropriated territory, which also houses the largest US military base in continental Europe. It seems that KNOWN murderers, drug traffickers, arms dealers, white slavers and human organ dealers are only enemies if they do not work for the US/NATO Organised Crime Syndicate -- if the shoe fits, wear it!]
The Australian Federal Police (AFP) are banned from contributing to military operations, yet they helped to compile "hit lists" of drug traffickers in the Afghan capital of Kabul, a leaked US diplomatic cable reportedly revealed. (story and 1 comment and 1 image)

Your Devices are Watching You
Scott Thurm and Yukari Kane via fleet, Monday, Dec 20 2010, 10:15pm
Few devices know more personal details about people than the smartphones in their pockets: phone numbers, current location, often the owner's real name—even a unique ID number that can never be changed or turned off. (story and 1 comment and 1 image)

 WikiLeaks/Assange: US instigated Interpol attack
cleaves, Wednesday, Dec 1 2010, 2:40am
For those not fully conversant with American ‘foreign policy’ strategies they reduce to intimidation and/or bribery, either embargos, economic sanctions, or massive loans ‘aid’ (America prints money from thin air, remember) that enslave poorer nations; but the most popular tactics employed today are illegal military invasions, plunder and the mass murder of unfortunate civilians. You will note that the tactics America employs today are akin to those utilised by Nazi Germany, including ACCUSING the VICTIM! (story and 3 comments and 1 video)

WikiLeaks' Biggest Document Dump Yet Coming Monday
David Knowles via Kismo, Saturday, Oct 16 2010, 7:24pm
Firstly, it should be noted by those unfamiliar with Oz culture that true Australians have an ACUTE sense of FAIR PLAY and JUSTICE -- those cultural characteristics stem from our cruel penal colony past and the need to cooperate in order to survive harsh conditions and overcome the odds.
Exposing heinous criminals, liars and mass murderers is par for the course; we salute Mr Julian Assange and his international team. May all of Washington DC, Wall St, the Pentagon and their servile allies choke on the TRUTH -- and may all the people of the world awaken to the FACT they are LIONS raised as sheep! Ed.

WikiLeaks: Twisted logic from US Defence Establishment
sadh, Friday, Jul 30 2010, 11:06am
Following recent news of the marriage of google Corporation to the CIA -- the two organisations hope that ‘mining’ un-encoded data may predict future attacks on the US, notwithstanding the fact that all operatives utilise coded messages (doh!) -- is the latest absurd outburst from the US Defence establishment decrying and lamenting the fact that irrefutable PROOF of US/NATO war crimes and INCOMPETENCE is now a matter of public record. It seems that American neo-colonial aspirations have been dealt a death blow by Australian digital freedom fighter, Julian Assange, founder of WikiLeaks. (story and 1 comment)

Be Our Guest, Julian!
Raffi Khatchadourian via Kismo, Friday, Jun 11 2010, 10:38am
The house on Grettisgata Street, in Reykjavik, is a century old, small and white, situated just a few streets from the North Atlantic. The shifting northerly winds can suddenly bring ice and snow to the city, even in springtime, and when they do a certain kind of silence sets in. This was the case on the morning of March 30th, when a tall Australian man named Julian Paul Assange, with gray eyes and a mop of silver-white hair, arrived to rent the place. Assange was dressed in a gray full-body snowsuit, and he had with him a small entourage. “We are journalists,” he told the owner of the house. Eyjafjallajökull had recently begun erupting, and he said, “We’re here to write about the volcano.” (story and 6 comments and 2 images)

Some Big Lies of Science
Denis G. Rancourt via reed, Monday, Jun 7 2010, 7:03am
“The majority of politicians, on the evidence available to us, are interested not in truth but in power and in the maintenance of that power. To maintain that power it is essential that people remain in ignorance, that they live in ignorance of the truth, even the truth of their own lives. What surrounds us therefore is a vast tapestry of lies, upon which we feed.” – Harold Pinter, Nobel Lecture (Literature), 2005

U.S. Cyber Command: trailing world by a decade!
Rick Rozoff via Kismo, Thursday, May 27 2010, 10:27am
Interesting article but America is 10 years too late! A 10 year gap in the digital 'world' CANNOT be closed.
The leading 'nation' in digital warfare is unquestionably, Russia; however, many groups equal and in some areas eclipse Russia's awesome expertise/strength.
The hard reality is this doodles, YOU ARE GOING DOWN, as sure as the setting sun! Almost every commercial corporate (server) network has been compromised; military systems offer more challenges but by no means offer unassailable resistance. They are compromised soon after hardening and re-hardening -- such is the nature of this war, doodles. But give it your best shot, you lame, retarded, backward, fuck's.
Elite hackers and exceptional individuals do not truck with nations that slaughter millions of innocent civilians, they mobilse against them. Do your best with the fifth rate morons you are able to obtain via standard means.
As for us -- We are Legion (International) we are ONE.

By Accident or Design it remains Counter Intelligence
stan, Wednesday, May 12 2010, 8:40am
A vid is doing the rounds on Corporate google’S censored Youtube, think about that for a minute! It depicts some fat yank claiming to be a former intelligence agent, blah, blah. Well, they’re a 'dime a dozen' (as the yanks say) over there. Everything this clown is saying is passé, years if not decades old strategies. For the PAST five or more years the hubs have been diligently doing everything this person wants us to do NOW – get it? His discourse is regressive/retrograde, it's designed to reverse current EFFECTIVE trends, which are devastating the criminals in power!
