 Is Lucifer a racist? Go South young man, go South!
Chris McGreal via krill, Saturday, Jul 4 2009, 11:11pm
Occasionally, I shake hands with a Mason and detect that tell-tale grip, thumb on first ‘fuck-knuckle;’ I choose not to respond though I could. Boaz! And for all those racists ‘on the square’ this piece is dedicated to a failing quasi-Jewish, Lucifer-honouring, not so secret, organisation that once ruled most of the world. Today it is a shadow of its former self; however, it struggles to maintain some of those ol’ fashion racist and elitist values. Ed. (story and 1 image)

 Pakistanis Reject U.S. 'Aid' Flights
Jeremy Scahill via quill, Saturday, Jul 4 2009, 10:47am
Damn those ungrateful Pakistanis. After U.S. drone attacks killed more than 600 of their people since 2006—most of them civilians—it seems they think they have some right to say they don’t want the U.S. flying its “aid” planes to Swat and other “tribal areas.” The New York Times reports that “the Pakistani authorities have refused to allow American workers or planes to distribute the aid in the camps for displaced people.” The paper reports: (story and 1 comment)

BALIBO: the enduring FAILURE of spineless Australia
Sarah Collerton via rialator, Monday, Jun 22 2009, 8:55pm
The Australian journalist who broke the story of the Balibo Five is disappointed his own government has failed to act over the deaths of the journalists.
[Successive governments since Whitlam have failed to pursue this now PROVEN case of murder. FIVE unarmed Australian citizens were slaughtered by Indonesian special forces in East Timor in 1975. To this day that crime remains the clearest indication of Australia's TRUE COWARDLY character. NO VALID reasons, political or otherwise, exist that would prevent bringing the culpable to trial yet our internationally humiliated servile show pony, PM, Kevin 'custard face' Rudd, displays only avoidance, RETICENCE, COWARDICE, TIMIDITY and FEAR! And YES, it is true that national leaders reflect the national character; take a long, hard, look at yourselves Australia. A land of CRINGING, xenophobic, racist, COWARDS!

Peru: Blood Flows in the Amazon
Prof James Petras via reed, Friday, Jun 12 2009, 11:00pm
In early June, Peruvian President Alan García, an ally of US President Barack Obama, ordered armored personnel carriers, helicopter gun-ships and hundreds of heavily armed troops to assault and disperse a peaceful, legal protest organized by members of Peru’s Amazonian indigenous communities protesting the entry of foreign multinational mining companies on their traditional homelands. Dozens of Indians were killed or are missing, scores have been injured and arrested and a number of Peruvian police, held hostage by the indigenous protestors were killed in the assault. President García declared martial law in the region in order to enforce his unilateral and unconstitutional fiat granting of mining exploitation rights to foreign companies, which infringed on the integrity of traditional Amazonian indigenous communal lands.
