 Not Good Enough, Barack!
barra, Tuesday, Dec 2 2008, 6:42pm
Obama is the first president to face stark and overwhelming evidence of crimes -- including torture, war crimes and a host of violations relating to various international laws and conventions -- committed by a previous administration. These crimes are not trifling matters and any attempt to avoid dealing with them would forever (historically) stain Obama – a legacy the first black man in the White House ought to be at pains to avoid.

 Puppet Presidents and Robot Soldiers – only in America!
nano, Monday, Dec 1 2008, 9:29am
In a press release, we are sure the Pentagon and White House will soon regret, America’s genius military technology developers revealed their feeble (insane) attempts to legitimise war with “moral” robots -- for Pete’s sake! America seems to have forgotten that the most immoral activity any society could engage in is WAR! However, that oversight is understandable as the USA is currently the world’s leading genocidal nation -- over one million dead Iraqi civilians testify to the fact! (story and 1 comment)

ANZAC legacy tarnished by today’s ADF
peptide, Thursday, Nov 27 2008, 10:03pm
I hoped I would never be required to confront the reality of Australian military forces consciously engaging in criminal assassinations -- methods usually associated with Israel’s IDF and the American mass murdering military. However, ABC journalists have recently uncovered the sordid activities of today’s (Howard’s and Rudd’s) ADF. And what a tragic day it is for Australia and its once proud and honourable defence force.

Insider bankster Paulson to throw another $1.2 Trillion at FAILED financial system
yarra, Tuesday, Nov 25 2008, 11:32pm
The US is clearly bankrupt; however, the same pathology that denies the civilian death toll in Iraq (one million innocent souls) also denies the REALITY that the economy and financial system are DEAD, and have been for some time. It is time for all Americans to apply another delusional, mythic, remedy to the real economy – RESURRECTION! [Laughing out loud!] Give it your best shot you SICK, pathological DENIERS. Ask Jesus fucking Christ to ‘bail’ you out, you mindless morons! You would quickly learn that no MAN MADE ‘GOD’ or MYTH is able to affect even a single hair on the head of the most ardent delusionist/religionist/fantacist – you vacuum-headed imbeciles!

APEC dunderheads suitably attired!
budgie, Sunday, Nov 23 2008, 8:26pm
Leaders of the Asia-Pacific Economic ‘Co-operative’ traditionally finalise their gathering by donning the national dress of the host nation. This year was no exception; however, in a bid to humble or portray leaders as they really are – PUPPETS and potato-heads – a very astute ‘designer’ dressed the ‘world leaders’ in potato-sack ponchos – and what a sight it made! The narcissist clowns presented to the public as leaders (chunder) have been accurately rendered as potato-head puppets to the Corporations and Big business. We thank you Peru for demonstrating to the world the real calibre of our ‘leaders’ – what a fuckin’ joke! (story and 2 images)

The Irony of America’s New World Order ..
finch, Saturday, Nov 22 2008, 8:47pm
is that America will more than likely be relegated to the background. The loci of power are inexorably moving EAST; and there is nothing outside a full-scale nuclear conflict that could alter that course – world leaders beware! Americans are proven mass murderers, as the civilian holocaust in Iraq clearly indicates! (story and 2 comments and 3 images)

Obama and the FAILURE of the Big Sell
finn, Wednesday, Nov 19 2008, 8:12pm
All doubt relating to Barack Obama’s status as puppet and house slave is removed by simply citing his support base – what a circus! Look it up and offer it as verification to the most hardened sceptics. [A few supporters of the ‘people’s president’ (what a laugh) are mentioned here to ‘stimulate’ further research; “Goldman Sachs, J. P. Morgan Chase, Citigroup, Bill Gates and Warren Buffett, the world’s richest man, to name a few!" How’s dem apples, you yankee doodle dunces?] (story and 1 comment)

Black Africans give world a lesson in Asymmetric Warfare
Captain, Tuesday, Nov 18 2008, 1:11am
Superpowers are in shock over the news that Somali pirates have seized a super tanker three times the size of an aircraft carrier off the coast of Kenya! Perhaps we should recall the destructive actions of the USA around the globe but particularly in Somalia. The national economy is completely ruined; faced with starvation or slavery, Somalis have developed a lucrative sub-economy from the proceeds of piracy. (story and 2 images)

The Sickest News of the Day: Obama’s White House puppy
gan, Sunday, Nov 16 2008, 11:19pm
The Associated Press is running yet another story on the now notorious “Pet Sematary” White House puppy! Given the many crises and current instabilities around the globe, dwelling on trivia is bordering on criminal neglect. A previous article mentioned the obscenity of the American media and its obsession with trivial matters while people are being slaughtered DAILY by American forces and mindless remote-controlled UAV (drone) attacks!

The Stasi down under – Oz democracy at risk with information restrictions
Kismo, Sunday, Nov 16 2008, 12:57am
The Murdoch-Rudd government of Australia is about to implement draconian censorship and information filtering measures on the internet, beginning ‘Christmas Eve’ – well timed, draco! Murdoch is more pissed off than most over the influence his media empire has had to concede to internet independents – bloody rabble! (story and 1 image)

G20: Bush pleads for return to ‘free’ market but collapse Inevitable
quin, Friday, Nov 14 2008, 9:13pm
Capitalism, regardless of its many and varied disguises, is historically VERIFIABLE as WEALTH FOR THE FEW – that is its one most consistent, overriding characteristic! We therefore have no need to entertain lies that it is anything other than an unfair economic system that promotes inequity and insider elitism, which inevitably leads to the type of collapse we are experiencing at the present time!

Whatever happened to moral leadership in America – if it ever existed? Not a peep from Obama, the black marionette president elect, regarding actions against Cheney, who is without peer as the most culpable criminal of the 21st century – not forgetting the crimes of Bush and other senior members of the regime!

More of the same with Obama -- 'Change,' not likely!
Kingfisher, Sunday, Nov 9 2008, 12:11am
Are we able to see the nose on our collective, rustic face? A face that betrays its primitive and limited rustic heritage; a face resplendent with intellectual vacuity! Republican running mate, Sarah Palin, was unaware that Africa is a continent – it would be pointless asking the average American to name the largest nation that occupies the most well known sub-continent in the world today (India) -- you see, Palin is the norm, not the exception!

Obama: the Big Sell and the Giant Denial
peptide, Thursday, Nov 6 2008, 9:50pm
At a critical and REVEALING point in Obama’s campaign he veered violently to the right, selling out his grassroots base and methodologies in the process. Obama not only accepted HUGE financial support from BIG business and status quo powers he embraced aspects of their ideology. As a result he was rightly accused by disillusioned supporters, commentators and analysts of disingenuous and traitorous behaviour -- his INTEGRITY took a severe battering from which it has not recovered. Obama has made no effort to date to redeem his former reputation by proving his accusers wrong – but why should he now, he has ‘won’ the race to the White House? Political expediency, not justice or integrity, wins the day in America! (story and 3 comments and 3 images)

Former Oz FM, Alexander Downer at loose ends
Kingfisher, Sunday, Nov 2 2008, 2:07am
There is a syndrome to which former public figures are extremely susceptible; it’s a type of hangover effect. After years in public office, directing the affairs of State, to suddenly find themselves on the scrap heap is a little disconcerting and a bit of a shock, especially for elitists that have always held the view they were born to rule!

Aussie investors win ‘servile stakes’
budgie, Friday, Oct 31 2008, 11:40pm
Desperate citizens who had their investments/funds frozen have been ‘allowed,’ by the ‘big-hearted’ regulator, to access small amounts of their funds to meet the costs of daily life – how bloody generous! The magnanimity of the regulator, ASIC, and the parasitic financial institutions is ‘beyond measure.’ All I can say in the circumstances is, ‘you’re’ damn lucky you haven’t any of my funds frozen, you loathsome parasites!

Watch the ‘left hand’ during election mania
major mitchell, Thursday, Oct 30 2008, 8:05am
It really is too easy! Cynical social theorist, Leo Strauss, took the easy option. The masses should be ‘managed for their own good’ by benevolent, wise and intelligent, (SUPERIOR) ruling elites like dubya Bush, Rove, Cheney, Perle, Wolfowitz, Rice, Rumsfeld etc. – get the picture? It is widely known today that far from ‘superior’ these elites are downright criminal AND incompetent! Yet most of us continue to take the bait each time these cynical manipulators offer it.

Former insider Bankster saves personal funds just prior to public freeze!

Malcolm Turnbull, conservative leader in the Oz parliament and former Goldman Sachs employee, ‘somehow’ managed to save his personal funds from a mortgage related investment just prior to the fund house freezing all public redemptions, perfect timing, Malcolm! As ‘Gordon Gekko’ stated so contemptuously in the movie, Wall Street, the “outsiders” (sheep) are at the mercy of "insiders" – how true! (story and 1 image)

Another home grown catastrophe likely
dingo, Sunday, Oct 26 2008, 11:53pm
Due to the ‘thick’ nature of the American public the powers are forced to emphasise a point in order to drive it home. However, the less thick international community easily detects and is alerted by ‘overdone’ remarks! Non-Americans view with extreme suspicion SIMILAR warnings from senior politicians of both major American parties.
