 Thaci: muslim terrorist becomes delusional
dusan, Tuesday, Feb 26 2008, 12:23pm
Muslim terrorist and crime boss, Hashim Thaci, has become delusional; he imagines that he leads a nation when in fact he remains a criminal who leads only an Albanian criminal syndicate. Thaci stated he is prepared “to defend every inch of his territory (Kosovo)” -- spoken like a true mafia crime boss; old habits die hard don’t they, Hashim? Reality, however, dictates that Kosovo remains legally, historically, culturally and territorially Serbian, and that is that! So exactly what is it you are actually defending, Hashim, the spoils of crime; we would all like to know? (story and 1 comment)

Thoroughly incompetent Oz politicians warring over defence contracts
dingo, Tuesday, Feb 26 2008, 10:28am
There is an old saying familiar to most cultures, “shit floats,” and it’s a whopping great turd that has hit the surface in relation to Australia’s defence spending.
The current minister of defence, Joel Fitzgibbon, has rightly opened the ‘book’ on the incompetence of the previous conservative government’s politically driven, as opposed to practical, defence purchases.

 ASIO recruitment ‘drive’
peptide, Monday, Feb 25 2008, 10:35am
I was recently informed – I somehow missed the original release -- that Australia’s spook agency is recruiting. Everything immediately fell into place when I saw the salary range for the position of “ASIO Officer grade 3,” which was unashamedly advertised in the local primate press as ranging from $49,280 – $53,100 (plus superannuation and shift allowances) wow! And we wondered why the nation has gone to wrack and ruin. (story and 2 images)

Washington and Hashim Thaci – a criminal alliance
finch, Monday, Feb 25 2008, 8:10am
Washington -- as divorced from reality and as thoroughly incompetent as ever -- is labouring under the misapprehension that it is able to indefinitely ignore International Law and dismember Sovereign European States! It is clear America persists with its ‘stunningly astute’ “mission accomplished,” “bouquet of flowers,” “known unknowns,” “broken the back of the insurgency” DREAM WORLD! However, analysts are aware that Washington’s latest statements are the result of panic and impending ECONOMIC and INSTITUTIONAL COLLAPSE. Reality dictates it is America that faces ruin.

Legally Justified
major mitchell, Sunday, Feb 24 2008, 10:31am
The removal by force, if peaceful requests continue to be ignored, of all foreign invading forces and military bases from Serbian territories is DEMANDED by the people of Serbia! Russia and China are in no position to delay in support of their allies; the U.S. has accelerated its deployment of offensive missile systems in a number of compliant nations – the latest installation is underway in Australia. This installation is clearly designed to target China. The USA has increased its efforts to encircle Russia and China with OFFENSIVE missile weapons systems due principally to the fact that IT HAS NOT MET WITH ANY RESISTANCE! America continues to overtly flout laws, conventions and treaties in its bid for world domination – there is absolutely no doubt of America’s intentions! (story and 1 image)

Australia’s great shame is its lack of National Identity
peptide, Saturday, Feb 23 2008, 9:11am
The visiting American Secretary of Defence has highlighted the great shame of Australia. The ‘Australian’ foreign Minister, who is clearly out of his depth with the Americans, announced to the uninformed Oz public today that the nation will be participating in the new, uncertain, missile shield technology, which is primarily designed to protect American interests and military installations!

Australia re-affirms servility to criminal America
barra, Friday, Feb 22 2008, 1:28pm
'This is not the Australia I was raised in,' muttered an old-timer at the bar after catching the latest news bulletin on the AUSMIN talks. Foreign Minister, Stephen ‘kneepads’ Smith, hailed the talks with the American Secretary of Defence as highly productive. However, analysts and commentators reserve their judgement until all details are made available. (story and 1 image)

Hashim Thaci: dead man walking
zoran, Friday, Feb 22 2008, 7:18am
Those who live by the sword die by the sword. The known murderer and criminal, Hashim Thaci, is a marked man since he unilaterally declared the province of Kosovo independent from Serbia. Thaci’s past and future have converged to seal his fate. (story and 3 comments and 2 images)

Once were Aussies!
dingo, Thursday, Feb 21 2008, 10:23am
Gone are the days of real Australian leaders; only a few decades past Australian leaders threatened to close the American installation at Pine Gap because the Americans refused to share information or allow access to the site. The very colourful raid on ASIO ordered by the Whitlam government due to the reluctance of ASIO bureaucrats to supply information to the democratically elected Prime Minister is another memorable event. Even that miserable little Zionist, Bob Hawke, stated at the time of an official visit to Washington that Australia, though an ally and friend has its OWN OPINION and VIEW and that views of the respective nations were likely to differ radically at times – WHATEVER HAPPENED TO AUSTRALIA AND INDEPENDENT LEADERSHIP?

Serbs vent anger before getting down to ‘business’
dragan, Wednesday, Feb 20 2008, 11:19pm
The indomitable will of Serbia is rousing. Thousands of Serbs are converging on Belgrade and other capitals around the globe to demonstrate against the illegal secession of Kosovo, the heartland of the Serbian nation. In a show of national solidarity, UNITY OF WILL AND PURPOSE, Serbs are informing the world that KOSOVO IS SERBIA! Secessionists, invaders and occupiers beware, a UNIFIED people defy your feeble declarations and assaults on their sovereignty. (story and 3 comments and 3 images)

Old men – Old World Order
budgie, Monday, Feb 18 2008, 8:35am
George H Bush has endorsed Republican front-runner, John McCain -- one senile old fart supporting another. The U.S. is going from one easily manipulated retard, Dubya Bush, to a ‘what day is it,’ easily manipulated senile old man? If a picture is worth a thousand words, this one is worth a few more! The image is vividly clear, its message is past tense and antiquated! (story and 2 images)

Kosovo: fools rush in
Kingfisher, Sunday, Feb 17 2008, 8:04pm
Former Australian Foreign Minister to the Hawke-Keating governments, Gareth Evans -- a man with much to hide regarding his complicity in the cover-up of the Balibo five murders -- today displayed his continuing infatuation with his own reflection in the pond of NATO/EU dreams! Evans, who is divorced from everything but the most myopic of views, expressed an opinion so completely divorced from reality one wonders whether the International Crisis Group (ICG) that now employs him, is in crisis itself!

The Hilton bombing and the Assassination of Alfredo Reinado

‘What is this shit,’ is a common exclamatory remark Aussies are apt to make when confronted with an obvious farce, fabrication, con or ruse? The latest criminal bungle of Australian occupation forces in Timor-Leste almost matches the effort of the Hilton bombing in ’78 [see link.] (story and 1 image)

Executives defy Rudd’s request for wage restraint
cindy calist, Thursday, Feb 14 2008, 11:12am
Executive salaries have skyrocketed in Australian over the past decade of Howard’s rule culminating in salaries in the tens of millions of dollars for Bank and other executives – you know, the people who are responsible for creating the world credit crisis and undermining the economies of the western world! It is clear their salaries are NOT performance related! (story and 1 comment and 1 image)

Apology of a Nation
peptide, Tuesday, Feb 12 2008, 7:30am
The long overdue admission of wrongs perpetrated against Australia’s indigenous people was finally acknowledged today in the form of a national apology delivered to the Aboriginal people by the Prime Minister, Kevin Rudd. The RACIST, criminal and socially sick conservative ideology that resulted in thousands of Aboriginal children being forcibly removed from their mothers’ arms has been clearly condemned today by a national act of contrition. History notes the glaring absence of the former conservative, RACIST, Prime Minister, John Howard, from today's ceremony! Let it be a very cold day in hell before Australians entertain the poisonous, conservative ideology again! (story and 3 comments and 1 image)

Kosovo: illegal independence but at what price?
goran, Sunday, Feb 10 2008, 10:29am
What price is the US and NATO willing to pay for supporting a flagrantly illegal secession in the Balkans? No one knows exactly but it‘s sure to be higher than anyone anticipated! Only the moronic Americans would support such an inflammatory move in this extremely volatile region – oil and gas pipelines notwithstanding. (story and 1 image)

American Imperialism and the Symbiotic Narco Trade
nano, Saturday, Feb 9 2008, 8:10am
A recent report alerting to the appearance of commercial quantities Afghan brown heroin in the far-away (from source) location of Adelaide, Australia, may indirectly assist American militarists and politicians understand why it is that NATO is reluctant to support the U.S. in further calamitous misadventures in the Middle East, Central Asia or anywhere else. It seems the world is no longer enamoured with the violent, brutish, simplistic, naive and INCOMPETENT leadership of the USA – Robert Gates, take note! (story and 2 comments and 2 images)

Former racist Oz leader refuses to attend Indigenous Reconciliation Ceremony
finch, Friday, Feb 8 2008, 7:54am
Former PM, racist and war criminal John Howard has declined an invitation to attend a reconciliation ceremony designed to address past injustices suffered by the indigenous population of Australia. Howard’s miserable gesture is true to form. Perhaps now investigations into Howard’s involvement in Iraqi war crimes and crimes against humanity should proceed at speed. (story and 1 image)
