‘Fair suck of the sav,’ Hugo; unlimited terms in office is NOT democratic, regardless of how the people were swayed to support it. Good leaders step down or defer to those more able to lead when the situation calls for it. Let’s not follow the Mugabe or Singapore dictatorship model in Venezuela, Hugo!

 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?

 Total Economic Collapse May Stir Masses but not in servile America
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 fix is in: Oz mandatory internet filtering
Kismo, Thursday, Feb 12 2009, 11:30pm
Corporate errand boy and Oz Communications Minister, Stephen Conroy, has selected a group of minor (compliant) ISPs (see link) to conduct his INFORMATION CENSORSHIP tests. Telstra, iinet and Optus, by far the three largest carriers in the country, have ‘somehow’ been excluded from the tests, which would throw into question any results obtained with non-representative carriers – it’s a MATTER OF SCALE, stupid!

Feeble response to massive drug production in NATO’s Afghanistan
Kingfisher, Thursday, Feb 12 2009, 10:08am
A ‘gem’ of counter intelligence was recently published in a Canadian Military Magazine. NATO commanders are attempting to justify/expand military activity in occupied Afghanistan by proposing that drug eradication be included in military field operations! An ‘interesting’ proposition in view of the fact that America has entered into deals with regional war lords allowing them to gain revenue from drug production in exchange for their support – it’s a dirty business, war, isn’t it?

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.

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)

Davos: ‘the best of the best’ FAIL to offer solutions for terminal economy
finn, Sunday, Feb 1 2009, 11:48pm
Except for Roubini, Schiff and very few others, the world cannot seem to grasp the FACT the beast (capitalism) is DEAD -- long live inverted values and financial models based on theft, fraud and exploitation!

The active Australian Independence Movement
dingo, Tuesday, Jan 27 2009, 7:12pm
Before the days of overt rebel expression in Australia -- the Eureka Stockade and the Kelly gang -- Imperial England had developed a plan to criminalise and exploit a downtrodden and oppressed underclass and utilise them as a slave labour force for newly ‘acquired’ colonies. Similar methods are utilised today by America. Labelling victims as criminals and ‘TERRORISTS’ allows for modern colonialists to steal land, commit mass murder and plunder the valuable resources of weaker nations. It becomes apparent that European Monarchs and today’s Western ‘democratic’ governments are merely fronts for mercantile, commercial and corporate interests. The formula of invasion, mass murder, installation of compliant regimes and EXPLOITATION hasn’t changed an iota in hundreds of years! (story and 1 comment and 2 images)

Obama approved drone missile strike in Pakistan
major mitchell, Sunday, Jan 25 2009, 9:44am
Obama has been ‘blooded’ by his handlers. Obama, fully cognisant of the consequences of his action, approved a drone missile strike that targeted and killed innocent civilians in Pakistan! Get used to it because it’s the nature of modern American warfare (MURDER). For every targeted individual at least 10 innocent civilians also die; missiles launched from 30,000 feet could hardly be considered precision weapons. ‘Pilots’ flying drone missions from secret US locations are able to treat their job like any other 9 to 5 occupation; ‘collateral damage’ is an 'unfortunate' consequence of modern American criminal warfare -- where is Geneva?

Take another squint, ‘merica!
budgie, Saturday, Jan 24 2009, 8:18am
A few choice expressions from the recent past; “cakewalk,” “mission accomplished,” ‘bouquets of flowers,” “we know Saddam has WMD because he just has,” “unknown knowns,” “global war,” “America does not torture,” “enhanced interrogation,” “Gitmo,” “military commissions,” “Patriot Act,” “Homeland Security,” “domestic surveillance” and “extended executive powers” etc. The result; over one million dead civilians, war costs that can’t be accurately calculated, a crippled economy and an international reputation in the gutter!

Arrogance, unilateralism and contempt for the world

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)

Not so smooth after all!
finch, Tuesday, Jan 20 2009, 7:32pm
The black saviour of the world, the great American orator, the ‘new transformative’ image America needs so desperately to succeed just fumbled his lines taking the Oath of Office, for Pete’s sake! Not even dunderhead ‘dubya’ fumbled those lines; sort of makes you wonder, don’t it? A portent of the future perhaps! A quick search of the net revealed this classic one-liner; "underneath the pose there's just more prose, I suppose." In a land of one-liners it makes its point! But we are not so harsh as to criticise a man, only a man, a puppet of the status quo, for exhibiting nerves on such a MOMENTOUS DAY OF FRAUD. Wake up America [real reform is so near we can taste it!] (story and 2 comments and 1 image)

Gaza, murder to a timetable!
finn, Monday, Jan 19 2009, 5:07pm
Wanton destruction, wholesale vandalism, indiscriminate murder and ALL ON CUE; that is Gaza today! Israel (America) has called a unilateral ceasefire in Gaza; scorched earth and indiscriminate killing interfere with nice ‘clean’ inauguration ceremonies in Washington! If anyone required emphatic proof of a CONCERTED arrangement, rigged INTERNATIONAL COURTS and a dummy UN you now have it in Gaza – any Englishman would tell you that a good game of cricket is punctuated with tea and lunch breaks, dear chap!

Focus on the source of the problem
nano, Sunday, Jan 18 2009, 1:33am
Sometimes I wonder whether I should extol the virtues of NOT drinking tap water – I haven’t touched the stuff in decades. What is glaringly obvious to me seems mysterious or esoteric to others – get a grip! The CURE in Gaza and the Middle East in general, is to hold AMERICAN WAR CRIMINALS AND SUPPORTERS OF ISRAEL’S WARS (murder sprees) TO ACCOUNT! I am of course referring to the outgoing Bush administration, which has supported, militarily and politically, all recent conflicts in the Middle East! Israel wouldn’t dare make an aggressive move in the region without American approval AND SUPPORT! Now take a good, long, cool drink of filtered water and wake up to yourselves.

ICC, no jurisdiction over Israel/America!
barra, Thursday, Jan 15 2009, 9:27pm
The International Criminal Court confirmed, after Palestine brought war crimes issues to notice, that it had no jurisdiction over Israel or America – how convenient! All doubts are removed as to how or why leading terrorist nations, Israel and America, are able to wantonly kill civilians and commit numerous atrocities with impunity! Perhaps Bin Laden ought to insist on a similar arrangement, it worked for Kosovar war criminals, so why not! We should ALL demand equal dispensation or exemption – the LAW is truly an ASS or should I say a convenient means of avoiding JUSTICE! (story and 3 comments)

An argument for Secession
dingo, Tuesday, Jan 13 2009, 8:23pm
The entire world groaned when WAR CRIMINAL Bush insisted, in his last press conference, that he had served his country well and had done a “good job” as president – W-H-A-T!? Furthermore, Cheney supported Bush’s statements with his own divorced from reality, twisted version of history. It’s time for the handcuffs people! The credibility of the ENTIRE nation is at stake – the reality oriented WORLD is fast running out of patience! (story and 1 comment and 1 image)

Western war criminals take refuge in denial
finch, Sunday, Jan 11 2009, 7:42am
In the dying years of the FAILED international conservative push, efforts to hide and disguise the many war and other crimes perpetrated by conservatives became impossible. Failed wars, civilian holocausts, $10 trillion debts and ruined states defy all attempts to re-present them as other than what they are – FIASCOS! (story and 1 comment)
