Oz PM Gillard Delusions of Grandeur
gan, Sunday, Jul 17 2011, 11:14am
What on earth does Gillard think she's doing planning to IMPOSE and unwanted, un-mandated Carbon TAX on Australia? After failing to convince the public with simplistic slogans, rhetoric and an astounding lack of real detail on how carbon emissions will be accurately measured etc., Gillard is now dipping into the public purse to pay for a $25 million Ad campaign in a last ditch effort to sell the unsellable! This latest attempt at a sell will no doubt earn her nothing but scorn and contempt, as many people view this extravagant decision as symptomatic of lunacy! The reality is PLAIN TO SEE -- AUSTRALIA DOESN'T WANT THIS TAX, Juliar! (story and 1 image)

Libya on Time Clock
nano, Sunday, Jul 17 2011, 12:15am
After months of NATO bombing civilian targets, including the capital Tripoli, and numerous failed (illegal) assassination attempts on Col. Gaddafi, any semblance to a ‘humanitarian intervention’ in Libya has been ‘shot to ribbons’ or should we say (illegally) bombed to rubble and dust. The entire grab for Libya’s oil and resource wealth by Western terrorists has failed. The plan is in tatters as TIME was of the essence. The wily Gaddafi has far too much support from his people and other African nations to be easily eliminated like Balkan leaders of the past. (story and 1 image)

The Emperor has no Economy
Ted Rall via fleet, Saturday, Jul 16 2011, 3:15am
The Associated Press' Paul Wiseman had one of the snappier headlines last week: "The Economic Recovery Turns Two - Feel Better?"
"After previous recessions, people in all income groups tended to benefit," Wiseman wrote. "This time, ordinary Americans are struggling with job insecurity, too much debt, and pay raises that haven't kept up with prices at the grocery store and gas station. The economy's meager gains are going mostly to the wealthiest…A big chunk of the economy's gains has gone to investors in the form of higher corporate profits."
Wiseman quoted David Rosenberg, chief economist at Gluskin Sheff and Associates in Toronto: "The spoils have really gone to capital, to the shareholders."

The Oz Carbon Con Spelled Out
snowy, Saturday, Jul 16 2011, 12:29am
Fortunately Australian MORONS number only about 30% of the population according to the latest carbon poll, the reverse of the illiterate USA. So we address the following to the gullible, mindless THIRD swept away by simplistic American slogans and thin unconvincing explanations. (story and 2 comments)

Farmers call for end to CSIRO genetically modified wheat trials
staff report via gan, Friday, Jul 15 2011, 11:25am
Greenpeace is joined by an Oz farmers group concerned over the threat that GM wheat presents to our multi-million dollar wheat industry. Farmers are demanding that government cease all trials of GM wheat in Australia.
If Canberra's boot-licking attitude to US Corporatists doesn't cease soon, especially since allowing the most dangerous and evil Corporation on the planet (Monsanto) to jeopardise our food sovereignty, then the entire parliament must be jettisoned in favour of representative Independents. Gillard is but the latest boot-licking yank lackey PM after Rudd and Washington servant, Howard.
Onya Greenpeace for taking action against a Canberra experimental GM wheat farm. Your efforts have been rewarded with support from many quarters -- killer seed Company Monsanto requires 'killing' themselves! Oz Food Sovereignty MUST be protected from killer-seeds Monsanto and other GM food Companies at all costs. (story and 1 image)

American World View is WAR – the Primary cause for its Impending Demise
Kismo, Friday, Jul 15 2011, 3:01am
A recently released Pentagon report has declared the Internet a WAR ZONE -- well, of course it has, it’s a POV snapshot from the military, a distorted reality the US Banking/Military/Corporate complex is unsuccessfully attempting to impose on the world population in order to justify and continue on its mass murdering, plundering course. I mean, how could the US even attempt to justify killing millions of civilians, ruining/enslaving European nations and sticking its destructive nose into EVERYBODY'S business without declaring War on almost everything?

NATO will be Defeated in Libya
Gerald A. Perreira via reed, Friday, Jul 15 2011, 12:09am
The argument in Libya has been won by the Al Fateh revolution. There is now a glaring truth confronting the North Atlantic Terrorist Organization (NATO) – Muammar Qaddafi has handed out over one million kalashnikovs to the Libyan people. If he was the brutal dictator that NATO would have us believe him to be, then the armed population could have turned their guns on him and the revolutionary armed forces by now, especially as they would have NATO’s full backing if they did so.

UN Emphatically Condemns Terrorist Acts
judd, Wednesday, Jul 13 2011, 11:44pm
In the aftermath of the Mumbai bombing the UN unambiguously defined the killing of innocent civilians as indefensible, "CRIMINAL AND UNJUSTIFIABLE" ACTS of TERRORISM -- the entire WORLD is AWARE! WHY then Mr Moon and members of the Security Council, DOES THE UN CONDONE civilian killing acts committed by the US and NATO? The death count in Mumbai is exceeded every weekend by NATO and the US -- you reprehensible CORRUPT, HYPOCRITES. (story and 1 comment)

"Erect Penis" Defence for Assange
priapos, Wednesday, Jul 13 2011, 12:37pm
The QC acting for Assange in his appeal against extradition to Sweden offered the Court an astounding piece of factual information:
"If a woman chooses to spend the night in a single bed with a male, there is an inevitable possibility that she will come into contact with an erect penis at some time," barrister Ben Emmerson, QC, told the court. For this stunning bit of legal brainwork, dog-collared Assange pays thousands.

"Why Did You Lie to Me?"
stele, Tuesday, Jul 12 2011, 11:37pm
Facing 60% local opposition to the Goldman Sachs Carbon Tax, Juliar Gillard has been ordered to get out there and sell the un-mandated, unwanted, Carbon Con to the Australian public; but after today's confrontation with an irate woman, who clearly didn't appreciate Gillard gaining office on a BIG LIE, her handlers may think again before exposing their PUPPET to the public at large!

No effect on Climate Whatsoever but Banks stand to rake in Huge Carbon Profits
bluey, Tuesday, Jul 12 2011, 10:11pm
Is it any wonder Banks stand to make huge profits from a Banker -- Goldman Sachs -- designed Carbon Trading Scheme, wake up world, you’re being conned, AGAIN!
Sometimes I wonder what it takes to get the message home. Recent history is saturated with EXPOSURES of the criminal intrigues of Banks, Oil Transnationals, massive Financial and Corporatist FRAUD -- responsible for ALL the wars that rage today and of course the ‘minor’ issue of a GLOBAL ECONOMIC COLLAPSE, all directly caused by Bankers, Big Finance and Corporatists! YET the reality of criminal leadership hasn’t hit home!

Juliar Gillard, most unpopular PM is Oz history
gazza, Monday, Jul 11 2011, 11:57am
The most UNREPRESENTATIVE politician is naturally the most UNPOPULAR and Australia’s Julia Gillard is a good case in point. A poll conducted over the weekend indicates that Gillard and her party have hit record lows in popularity; if an election were called tomorrow Gillard’s Labor government would find itself in the political wilderness. Oz would then face the prospect of another unpopular politician as PM – a Jesuit trained combative attack dog, in the form of opposition leader, Tony ‘vacuum-head’ Abbott. The fact that Aussies also dislike Abbott HIGHLIGHTS the profound contempt they have for LYING, UNREPRESENTATIVE, Gillard! (story and 1 image)

It’s NOT news, Murdoch is a KNOWN scumbag
baz, Sunday, Jul 10 2011, 12:34am
The greatest fear of News Corp chief Rupert ‘numbers’ Murdoch, is loss of credibility which reduces his ability to sway public opinion and therefore his ability to exercise influence over politicians/the State and pursue his personal agenda. In order for News Corp to survive it must remain viable in the above implied sense, Murdoch and his family business must ensure high levels of reader/viewership in other words! (story and 1 image)

Australia – the latest US Colonial Acquisition

Bleich is due to report to his bosses in Washington on how the soft colonial takeover of Australia is proceeding.

Libya and War

The war against Libya may violate the US Constitution and in its current Drone, un-mandated form, violate international war crimes conventions but once again the evil empire goes with the military option -- it has no choice, the Corporations and Wall St, say so [dictate policy.] (story and 1 image)
