 Dai-ichi Reactor #4 in flames as Personnel Evacuated due to Dangerous levels of Radiation
stew, Tuesday, Mar 15 2011, 10:16pm
Fires in reactor #4 at the Fukushima nuclear power plant were most likely caused by hydrogen build-up or heat generated from spent fuel rods exposed to the atmosphere, or both. However, the later seems to be the case as fires were accompanied by very high levels of radiation issuing from the reactor -- the result of spent fuel rods breaking down and releasing poisonous radioactive particles into the environment due to loss of cooling.

Australia is reputed to be one of the oldest and most stable land masses on the planet, so when it experiences a magnitude 4 earthquake following the devastating Pacific Rim quakes from NZ, Japan and that mysterious earth rupture in Peru, it’s time to ask geophysicists and other specialists what the fuck is going on?

The Idiocy and Hubris of GE Engineers
Dave Lindorff via stan, Tuesday, Mar 15 2011, 5:38am
GE, the CORPORATIST that boasts that it “brings good things to life,” was the designer of the nuclear plants that are blowing up like hot popcorn kernels at the Fukushima Dai-ichi generating plant north of Tokyo that was hit by the double-whammy of an 9.1 earthquake and a huge tsunami.

Assange accuses Oz PM Gillard of Treason and intimates he has evidence

Fukushima #3 nuclear reactor Explodes, situation under control, Really?
staff report via gan, Sunday, Mar 13 2011, 11:17pm
I'm no double-talking politician or conservative scientist under political pressure, ALL I KNOW is WHAT I SEE and explosions do not indicate a situation 'under control!' Furthermore, the presence of poisonous radioactive Cesium in the atmosphere after the first explosion is a clear indication -- I have recently learned -- of a CORE MELTDOWN, but that was under-emphasised/reported at the time as is this latest 'trivial' explosion at Dai-ichi reactor #3, in one of the World's LARGEST nuclear power plants!

[QLD] Cop who fired Taser 28 times and killed the victim thought it didn't hurt
Evan Schwarten via barra, Friday, Mar 11 2011, 6:28am
Some time ago we featured a story of a Queensland cop who murdered an Italian Australian with REPEATED strikes of a (new 'toy' for police at the time) Taser. The murdered victim of this flagrant case of police brutality, culminating in murder, was Tasered a staggering 28 times before he finally died -- another job well done MORON, Queensland Pigs!
It has now emerged that the police offender had no idea of the lethal potential of the weapon and its ability to inflict pain and cause death -- perhaps a basic IQ test and personality assessment is now in order for all Queensland police. However, these tests run the risk of revealing to the public that the majority of Queensland police are psychologically unfit for the job! (story and 1 image)

Australia’s leading Academic Advocate for a Carbon Tax – NOT qualified!

Professor Ross Garnaut has been leading the push for a carbon economy for some time, however, opposition Senator Nick Minchin revealed to the public that Garnaut is a Professor of ECONOMICS (what!) -- makes sense to me and carbon tax originators, GOLDMAN SACHS -- but it sure blows a hole in Garnaut’s credibility on the issue.

Gillard grovels with relish in her speech to Congress
snowy, Thursday, Mar 10 2011, 9:05am
In an unparalleled performance of complete subservience and subordination, Oz PM Julia Gillard, committed HERSELF (thankfully, she was not speaking for the majority of Aussies) to ALL America’s CRIMINAL wars without reservation. She indirectly praised the ideology of Wall St and the Federal Reserve system, which has ruined the global economy – a ‘minor’ detail for a sycophant -- and generally sucked even harder than Catherine the Great in her address to a joint-session of Congress.

Assange: the Price of Infamy
Kismo, Wednesday, Mar 9 2011, 11:18pm
I couldn’t help but publish this amusing excerpt from an article by Sergei Varshavchik, in RIA Novosti, titled, “Saving Private Assange” – ‘saving Assange’s privates,’ may have been more appropriate considering his current legal predicament; however, it seems ‘glamour boy’ Assange is griping bitterly over the fact that director Steven Spielberg, a very pro-American Jew, is ignoring Assange’s own biased memoirs in favour of other biased accounts from The Guardian team, in order to produce yet another biased account in movie form; in literary circles it's called ‘metafiction!’ Perhaps now Assange may learn the value of ANONYMITY in his profession – roflmfao?

Censorship addicted Oz LABOR government – have WE had enough yet?
dasha, Wednesday, Mar 9 2011, 9:36pm
The latest PATERNALISTIC, unnecessary, social intervention by Gillard’s -- the most unpopular Labor Government in Australian history -- emanates from yet another anal Labor minister who wishes to apply the RC ‘refused classification’ category, a Stephen Conroy invented euphemism for overt CENSORSHIP, to smartphone apps – what next? Give the Oz public a break and just piss off, or cop a hiding at the elections that would go down in history.
