 Not funny, ‘Merika!
quill, Tuesday, Jul 8 2008, 11:28pm
Every nation has its extremists, nutcases and demented morons; they are usually secreted away in appropriate social spaces designed to deal with the mentally unbalanced. However, in America and the Middle East homicidal maniacs and demented buffoons rise to become leaders of nations.

Insane U.S. gearing up for all-out WAR
finn, Monday, Jul 7 2008, 11:54am
Let’s not kid ourselves any longer; the psychopathic Bush regime leaves no doubt as to its intentions; it continues to encircle and provoke Russia and China into a confrontation. Bush, in typical American delusory fashion, believes he can deliver a knockout blow and take the prize – impossible, but in a sense Bush has no other choice. (story and 4 comments)

Media Tactics
peptide, Sunday, Jul 6 2008, 10:38pm
The most damning and potentially EXPLOSIVE news to hit Australia in decades is the revelation of planned U.S. Sarin nerve gas tests on Aussie troops in the 60’s. [The reader will note that the use of (nerve) gas ‘weapons’ was banned by international convention decades earlier!] (story and 1 comment)

Australia has no better ‘friend’ than Sarin Gas America
nano, Sunday, Jul 6 2008, 12:13am
‘Shit floats,’ but for those with bourgeois sensibilities, the truth always surfaces. However, we need a suitable context to emphasise the point and what better context than the behaviour of the current and previous slaves to America, Prime Ministers Kevin Rudd and John Howard! We hope the issue of America’s true attitude to Australia – and the world -- will be clarified once and for ALL! Satisfaction guaranteed for patriot Aussies and cringing colonialists alike!

 Civilian death toll – unacceptable/indictable!
yarra, Friday, Jul 4 2008, 11:38pm
AFGHANISTAN -- "US-led air raid kills 22 civilians", Reuters UK reports on July 4. We need not go into detail, as it’s now a very familiar story. Whether it’s from unmanned drones, long distance artillery or missile attacks the result is all too familiar. The U.S. today is able to boast humanitarian offences and war crimes that dwarf the numbers achieved by African and Asian despots in the past. (story and 1 comment and 2 images)

OIL, now $145 but tipped to reach $200
budgie, Friday, Jul 4 2008, 12:03am
At a dinner George W Bush once described the ‘Barons’ of free market capitalism as the “have mores,” as distinct from ‘the haves’ and ‘have nots.’ He sure got that right! With oil set to reach $200 a barrel the ‘have mores’ are acquiring EVER MORE wealth at a pace and in amounts hitherto unimaginable, even at the time dubya made his infamous remark.

Political distraction: Pope’s visit an excuse!
barra, Tuesday, Jul 1 2008, 11:37pm
This story is laden with layers of meaning and secondary discourses. Regrettably, space constraints limit us (not you) to only a few aspects of analysis. In view of publishing constraints and in an effort to info cram, we may at times appear to veer tangentially; however, astute readers should have no difficulty making thematic and other meaningful connections!

Infighting highlights the FRAUD that is Christianity
fish, Monday, Jun 30 2008, 8:23pm
Regardless of social activity/institution we can count of conservatives to really disrupt and destroy. The Anglican Church is the latest example of conservatives creating schisms that promise to further weaken the Church. Well done, Dr Peter ‘arch-conservative’ Jensen and other Paulinist Archbishops of the destabilising FOCA faction! I would remind conservatives that Paul of the Epistles is NOT the Saviour; that position has always rested with Jesus of Nazareth. Paul saves no one; perhaps he even leads people to their ruin!

The Lobotomised American by Grey Greene
quill, Monday, Jun 30 2008, 12:18am
Complete with exotic oriental women, opium pipes, loaded with treble-refined of course, and a cushy job as a foreign correspondent, which enables access to most political functions and dignitaries – I could be about to blow the lid, gentlemen! ‘Espionage,’ a very outmoded term these days, ‘we’ all prefer the more modern appellation of ‘analyst’ or ‘commentator’, hilarious!

Kosovo: Serbs inaugurate regional parliament
zoran, Saturday, Jun 28 2008, 10:18pm
MITROVICA -- Serbs affirmed their rights over SOVEREIGN territories Saturday by inaugurating the (AUMAPK) Assembly of the Union of Municipalities of the Autonomous Province of Kosovo. The LEGAL declaration by Serbia was immediately denounced as ‘illegal’ by the UN and the secessionist Albanian playschool ‘government’ of ‘Kosova!’ (story and 1 image)

Narcissistic, non-achiever Oz PM kicked in teeth by Electorate
barra, Saturday, Jun 28 2008, 9:47am
A swing of 7% against the government in the Gippsland by-election sends a clear and strong message to non-event PM, Kevin ‘bereft’ Rudd. The average swing against an incumbent government is around 4%; not only have the people kicked Rudd where it hurts but it is looks like Rudd will be kicked right out of the Lodge before or after his first term -- a very dubious distinction for a Labor leader. Everyone except Rudd and his imbecile media advisers see the writing on the lavatory wall. FAILURE TO DELIVER and LACK of INTERVENTION where it is needed are the principal reasons the people voted overwhelmingly against the government. (story and 2 comments)

ANTHRAX ATTACKS: the case the Bush admin DREADS!

Fraudulent Leaders
peptide, Thursday, Jun 26 2008, 9:14am
America beware! The Australian public screamed for change but got a Murdoch approved status quo dummy for a leader. Kevin Rudd's first seven months in office have been defined by his inability to do anything whatsoever; his greatest achievement to date is NON-ACHIEVEMENT! He has become a master of preserving the status quo set in motion by the powers that placed the previous conservative leader in office and so it will go with the USA unless the people detect the ruse before it’s too late!

Serbia: an unlikely alliance
rade, Wednesday, Jun 25 2008, 11:13am
As predicted, Milosevic’s Socialists (partisans) have rejected their traditional (cetnik) nationalist enemy and will form a government with Tadic’s west-leaning liberal democrats. The extreme left and extreme right are forming a very shaky alliance, one destined to be dysfunctional from the outset but such is the nature of Balkan politics – shaky alliances are the norm not the exception in Balkan politics.

Where shall I start? It’s all of one substance/character, managed and manipulated, vacuous, sensationalist, propaganda tailored for western empty-heads, isn’t that right Mr. Murdoch? The ‘wires’ are overflowing with mindless excrement perfectly suited for a mindless western, shit-for-brains, audience! (story and 1 comment and 1 image)

Mugabe invokes ‘God’ -- it worked for Bush!
peptide, Friday, Jun 20 2008, 9:26pm
Mugabe and Bush may have more in common than first pathologically thought! Both pursue their sick visions/delusions without regard to Law, the Constitution or the will of the people. Both exhibit contempt for the sanctity of human life and refuse to acknowledge the huge number of innocent lives they have destroyed. Both leaders justify their actions with theistic babble, a clear indication of psychopathology/megalomania! Both refuse to acknowledge they are directly responsible for war crimes and other crimes against humanity. Indeed, both men share more characteristics in common than differences. They are the most reprehensible criminal leaders the world has seen in decades AND they BOTH MUST BE BROUGHT TO JUSTICE! (story and 2 images)

The Singular, unilateral USA approves War Bill
costic, Friday, Jun 20 2008, 3:01am
No viable political alternative exists in the USA and only a fool would think otherwise. Noises of opposition from the Democrats are for appearances only; the charade of a democracy must be maintained. Congress passed Bush’s War Bill 268 to 155 votes, which effectively puts an end to all illusions the Democrats actually represent a viable alternative! (story and 1 comment)

Afghanistan: US/NATO desperate for ‘good news’
budgie, Wednesday, Jun 18 2008, 7:27am
When you are taking a pounding and your whole strategy goes up in smoke it becomes imperative to feed the home front some ‘good news’ (lies) – we wouldn’t want to appear as incompetent losers, would we?
For US/NATO occupation forces it’s ALL bad news at the moment and has been so for quite some time! So, in the absence of REAL good news just manufacture some! However, for lies to appear credible they must at least conform to known truths and realities. (story and 1 comment and 2 images)
