 Peter Costello or a REAL alternative
barra, Sunday, Jun 15 2008, 11:03pm
Australian government since former PM John Howard surrendered the nation to the Corporations is only a meaningless body going through motions and parading as though government actually mattered. The current Murdoch approved Prime Minister, Kevin Rudd, constrained by the Corporations, is too frightened to force them to return a fair percentage of their obscene profits to the nation for essential infrastructure and other essential services. The primary concern of all government should be the general welfare of the nation, not the welfare of Transnationals that take their profits offshore!

  America/NATO: Failure at every turn
major mitchell, Sunday, Jun 15 2008, 12:03am
The extremely successful attack on a Kandahar prison by the Taliban this week (see link) highlights a fact that America and its few allies would rather not face – and that is the world’s ‘greatest military alliance’ is a fucking joke! Open your eyes to the REALITY not the spin!
What has occurred since Bush and his allies embarked on their demented PNAC strategies to conquer the world, they have FAILED MISERABLY? America/capitalism is plunging into an economic and political vortex from which it cannot recover, as has become excruciatingly evident to even the most demented fantacist in Washington today!

Shifting power and US delusions
dusan, Friday, Jun 13 2008, 9:30pm
The USA is broke – that’s the truth, almost all the money and energy resources of the world are in ASIA, Africa and the Middle East, respectively. That is why Bush is running around the world attempting to gain support. The USA is out of the picture in more ways than one. Eight years of misguided (deplorable) foreign policy and military aggression have lost it the little support it once had. The future for the US is almost cast in stone – FAILURE at every turn! The last area of US superiority is the military and history dictates that ALL would-be empire nations that attempted to force the issue were destroyed by other less powerful but united in purpose nations!

Bilderberg in a nutshell
Kingfisher, Wednesday, Jun 11 2008, 11:12pm
The secretive Bilderberg group is the focus of numerous conspiracy theories and other wild imaginings; however, it is nothing more than a group of Zionists, Bankers, Industrialists, Monarchs (believe it or not) former and current politicians ALL OF WHOM HAIL FROM THE WEST! Russia, India, Brazil, China and numerous other nations are not represented! An absurd situation as China and other emerged nations now dwarf the influence and power these European monarchs and American capitalists imagine they possess. Put simply, the Bilderberg group is an ANACHRONISM in today’s rapidly changing world. (story and 1 image)

Symptoms of Demise
gan, Tuesday, Jun 10 2008, 11:54pm
No sooner had the Bilderberg group completed its latest ‘social gathering’ than their mass media informs us that ‘donors’ will pledge $15 billion to ‘rebuild’ Afghanistan – morons, you really have missed the point! Afghanis are not so stupid; they are acutely aware of the forces that destroyed their nation and continue to kill their children! Are U.S. and NATO idiots finally learning what Alexander, British Imperialists and Russia all learnt the hard way – nobody takes Afghanistan on the ground! (story and 1 comment)

Dalai Fraud lands in Oz
fish, Tuesday, Jun 10 2008, 9:21pm
The meat-eating Dalai fraud has landed in Sydney and is no doubt tucking into an Aussie steak sandwich or perhaps local hosts have introduced this brazen religious hypocrite to the famous Oz mixed (meat) grill -- political pursuits require meat as fuel! However, anyone familiar with Buddhist philosophy would tell you – ‘you can’t have your Buddhist void and play politics too.’ The two incompatible pursuits are mutually exclusive but that ‘small’ matter hasn’t deterred our meat-eating Tibetan visitor – what a laugh, my dog’s hind leg is straighter than this man’s character!

Former Oil Minister blows lid of orgy of profiteering
finch, Tuesday, Jun 10 2008, 11:11am
Isam Chalabi, former Iraqi oil minister, cites speculation and banking interests as the principal causes of today’s inflated oil prices. He dismissed the notion that current inflated prices are the result of supply shortages. “The question of prices today is not related to supply and demand fundamentals; everybody knows that,” he said in a recent interview on the ABC’s AM program.

Prime Minister Rudd shames the nation

War criminal on honours list!
dingo, Monday, Jun 9 2008, 3:18am
Former Prime Minister and war criminal at large, John ‘aluminium tubing’ Howard is to receive Australia’s highest civic honour, the Companion of the Order of Australia! Well, that about ‘tears it’ for this dingo. Think for one moment and ask yourself why and who would honour a man who attempted to destroy the Australian ‘fair go’ and traditional worker’s rights. Howard implemented policies that have created the widest disparities in wealth distribution in the nation’s history. Some banking executives enjoy salaries in the tens of millions ($35m) while average Aussies receive $45K for their efforts – hooray for Johnny, give him a medal, you mindless, moronic sheep! It’s all any red-blooded Aussie can do to stop themselves strangling the little rodent on sight! (story and 1 image)

Arab Islamists winning propaganda war
gan, Saturday, Jun 7 2008, 8:01pm
The thoroughly illegal trial of fanatic Islamists at Torture Bay this week will serve only to strengthen the cause of ultra-conservative religionists.
The illegal detention centre, Guantanamo ‘torture’ Bay, hosts the illegal trials and will no doubt arrive at an illegal (guilty) verdict for those accused, illegally held, tortured and denied their rights! (story and 1 image)

Goodbye Presidency: Obama caves-in to Jewish lobby
barra, Thursday, Jun 5 2008, 9:26pm
Barack Obama just lost the race for the Presidency. At an address to AIPAC, probably the most powerful UNREPRESENTATIVE lobby in the USA, Obama caved to the wishes of the Zionists by pledging almost unconditional support for Israel and going so far as to state publicly that Jerusalem, claimed by two peoples, would remain the undivided capital of Zionist Israel.

‘Kneepads’ Smith, ranting over Mugabe
dingo, Monday, Jun 2 2008, 1:53am
The Australian foreign minister Stephen ‘kneepads’ Smith, is in a ‘tiff’ over Robert Mugabe attending a UN food security summit in Rome to which Smith is also invited -- my God, who will they invite next? Smith, widely perceived as a knee-walking, sycophant and American lackey, may be attempting to assert himself as a man by vocally criticising Mugabe. However, images of Smith cringing to the mocking laughter of Condoleezza Rice at a Washington press conference recently, remain fresh in peoples’ minds; achieving manhood my elude Smith yet again!

John Howard charged with war crimes
nano, Sunday, Jun 1 2008, 9:57pm
ABC news radio today reported that a group of Australian citizens, inclusive of academics, lawyers and other professionals, lodged a submission to the ICC to have former PM, John Howard, charged with war crimes for his participation in the illegal invasion of Iraq. Howard with cohorts Bush and Blair, formed the so-called ‘coalition of the willing;’ a rogue alliance that acted against the correct advice of the UN and in violation of numerous international conventions relating to pre-emptive warfare.

Rudd’s avoidance of major issues hits new high!
junior, Sunday, Jun 1 2008, 2:26am
Kevin Rudd’s now pathological avoidance of the major issues facing Australia has hit a new, if not absurd, high! Facing the wholesale rape of our nation’s natural resources by Transnational mining companies; the worst drought on record; rapidly escalating fuel costs; the failure of free-market capitalism and a geopolitically, inappropriate relationship with a failing superpower, what is Rudd’s response? He ‘tackles’ the earth-shattering crisis of childhood obesity and launches an attack on a world renowned Australian Artist! But we should all be grateful for small mercies; the upside is he hasn't declared war on ingrown toenails! (story and 1 comment and 2 images)

The ‘Art’ of Distraction
barra, Friday, May 30 2008, 10:33pm
There is something not quite right about the current hysteria surrounding the work of internationally acclaimed Australian artist, Bill Henson. The speed at which police became involved in Henson’s latest exhibition and the dense, but leading comments made by high ranking politicians regarding some of the works may indicate that ‘things are not what they appear to be!’ (story and 2 comments and 1 image)

Bush exposed yet again and again and again …
Kingfisher, Wednesday, May 28 2008, 10:28pm
I have lost count of the (too) numerous times Bush and senior members of his criminal government have been exposed for gross deceptions and criminal pursuits. If a HOLOCAUST in progress and an ECONOMIC MELT-DOWN AT HOME doesn’t rouse the people what would former press secretary, Scott McClellan, hope to achieve with his revelations? Less than a week prior to McClellan’s revelations, news of the loss/misappropriation of $15 BILLION in Iraq roused only a few yawns from the American population -- 'good luck' with book sales, Scott!

Artist alert in the wake of attacks by conservative despots
quill, Tuesday, May 27 2008, 11:34pm
Conservatives, anal regulators, perverts and politicians fail to realise that Artists are responsible for ALL media output whether it’s fine art, television/film production, journalism, advertising etc etc; an attack on one Australian artist is an attack on ALL Artists! In view of the combined creative power that Artists possess it is a brave or very foolish ‘show pony’ that would offend the Arts and/or Artists.

Australia, for all the wrong reasons
yarra, Tuesday, May 27 2008, 10:38am
Australia is making international headlines for all the wrong reasons again; Aussies seem to have a penchant for eating their boots. Located in the South Pacific under the rest of the world probably accounts for the difficulty Aussies have adjusting to diverse, cosmopolitan populations. (story and 1 image)

The Unified Majority of Nations
peptide, Monday, May 26 2008, 11:30pm
Russia and China have broadened their existing military alliance to include greater economic cooperation and support. Together with the developing nations of Africa, the Pacific, Latin America and Asia the new ‘Eastern’ alliance will form the most powerful economic bloc the world has ever known – that is progressive thinking and is worth contrasting to the violent contractionist approach of America and its allies.
