 The Gamesmanship of Bob Gates, US Secretary of Defense
mitch, Thursday, Mar 3 2011, 9:49pm
Addressing West Point cadets recently, US Secretary of Defense, Bob Gates, made what would appear to the uninitiated or uninformed, to be an astonishing statement, “Any future defense secretary who advises the president to again send a big American land army into Asia or into the Middle East or Africa should ‘have his head examined,’ as General MacArthur so [in]delicately put it.” Quite a statement from anyone who holds that office; however, Gates is no fool and is acutely aware for whom these unwinnable, illegal, civilian killing, criminal wars are being waged, the CORPORATIONS or more specifically, Petro-Chemical and associated, Transnational Oil Companies.

The Genitals or the Box-Cutters - that is the Question for America’s TSA
baz, Thursday, Mar 3 2011, 12:02am
TSA personnel -- who clearly require psychological testing and competence training -- have no problems fondling the genitals of strangers who refuse deadly, airport X-Ray scans, BUT they FAIL in their PRIMARY TASK of detecting weapons in hand luggage! I mean, this level of incompetence is even beyond that of personnel that walk the corridors of the White House and the Pentagon.

The Global Financial FRAUD
Hon. Paul Hellyer via stan, Tuesday, Mar 1 2011, 8:44pm
The Hon. Paul Hellyer, P.C. former Canadian Minister of National Defence delivered this address at Fort McDowell Resort, Scottsdale, Arizona, 26 February, 2011.
The world financial system is a total fraud. It is one gargantuan Ponzi scheme, no better than the one Bernie Madoff used to swindle his friends and neighbors, and thousands of times worse if you add up the total number of victims it has ripped off over countless generations.

Infamous TAX EVADING Shopping Mall Magnate [maggot], Frank Lowy, hands reins to sons
sonny, Tuesday, Mar 1 2011, 7:10pm
Czech-born Jewish refugee, Frank 'tax is for gentiles and suckers' Lowy, is handing control of his giant shopping mall group, 'Westfields,' to his sons, Steven and Peter. However, the Australian public will remember scumbag, TAX EVADER, Lowy, for his political connections to the previous Liberal government. When Lowy found himself making front page news for tax evasion, he appealed to then PM, John 'deputy sheriff' Howard and the matter was quickly backgrounded and quietly dealt with. Liechtenstein banks are forever grateful to John Howard for the vast amounts of tax evading money they hold for the semitic Lowys.

A Cocaine fuelled Wall Street Government – FACT!
bluey, Monday, Feb 28 2011, 8:37pm
Before proceeding with this tirade I would first like to congratulate the director, Charles Ferguson, of “Inside Job” for demonstrating to the MINDLESS, paralysed masses that some people are not in the grip of the NIHILIST, American cocaine/war/Carbon Tax, mentality that infects the weak today. I would also add that US puppet President Obama is a SELF-CONFESSED COCAINE USER, just perfect! [The TRUTH is in your moronic faces, people!] Drug addicted Economic vandals and private mercenary armies gilled on amphetamines -- waging illegal wars -- continue to rape tens of millions in contracts and bonuses while innocent people continue to be murdered, displaced or suffer extreme hardship!

Large crack opens in the earth in southern Peru
staff report via baz, Sunday, Feb 27 2011, 11:54pm
A number of geophysicists and others have predicted that the earth will undergo drastic geological upheaval in this period. Recent quakes in New Zealand signal events on opposite side of Pacific, as is the usual case with these movements.
According to predictions, Etna and Pele are the main indicators. Soothsayers and scientists seem to agree that we are in for a 'big one' and it ain't gonna be pleasant. Drastic pole shift scenarios are also predicted, in which case entire continents could be flooded overnight. Apparently the earth undergoes these 'cleansing periods' when man's perversity gets out of hand. If that is the case it's gonna be a rough ride.

ANONYMOUS targets Tea Party funders, Charles and David Koch

The decentralized protest group "Anonymous" has a new target: no, it's not a middle eastern dictator, a major bank or even a bit player in the military-industrial complex. It's none other than Tea Party financiers Charles and David Koch, an open letter stated -- for their attempts "to usurp American Democracy," with money we presume!

UN Votes Unanimously to Apply Sanctions on Gaddafi
dasha, Saturday, Feb 26 2011, 10:53pm
The fact is these sanctions/actions occurred mainly because Gaddafi wouldn’t quietly surrender his oil fields to Western Corporate interests – gutless Russia and China watch from a distance. If anyone labours under the misapprehension that the U.S. is really concerned over the loss of innocent human life, just take a long hard look at the IRAQI CIVILIAN DEATH TOLL; the USA could CARE LESS for the lives of Muslim Arabs and North Africans. It demonstrates this almost daily with CONTINUING civilian killing DRONE ATTACKS on innocent Muslims in Pakistan, Afghanistan and Africa! Take a dose of hard reality before swallowing the propaganda and garbage you are fed by the Western Corporate media. (story and 1 comment)

The Pentagon Needs More Wars
Paul Craig Roberts via reed, Saturday, Feb 26 2011, 6:48am
CORPORATE puppet, President Obama, stated openly that the US is looking at all options including military intervention in Libya. So concerned is he over a few thousand casualties that he threatens military invasion -- GIVE THE WORLD A BREAK! There's the 'little' matter of over ONE MILLION DEAD CIVILIANS in Iraq -- the first holocaust of the 21st century -- which the USA is DIRECTLY responsible for; it is now public record that the invasion was orchestrated and based on LIES.

High Ranking former CIA agent Labels US Gov as FASCIST
John Pilger via stan, Friday, Feb 25 2011, 8:09pm
Shortly after the invasion of Iraq in 2003, I interviewed Ray McGovern, one of an elite group of CIA officers who prepared the President’s daily intelligence brief. McGovern was at the apex of the "national security" monolith that is American power and had retired with presidential plaudits. On the eve of the invasion, he and 45 other senior officers of the CIA and other intelligence agencies wrote to President George W. Bush that the "drumbeat for war" was based not on intelligence, but LIES. (story and 1 comment)

Assange: the Cost of Breaking the Hacker code of Anonymity
Kismo, Thursday, Feb 24 2011, 7:25pm
Julian Assange has been “caged,” to use his own expression, since his initial arrest in London on an EU warrant alleging sexual misconduct in Sweden and remains caged today with bail conditions still applying while his inept team of glamour boy barristers and drunken solicitors determine how much more they can milk from his case. A gifted person with Assange’s social awareness should have known that (ALL) lawyers are the parasites of the modern age and should be avoided at all costs. Are you regretting now the personal and other REAL costs associated with your narcissistic (conditioned) need for notoriety, Julian? Silly boy! (story and 2 comments and 1 image)

Bereft Yank Premier Divorced from Reality
baz, Tuesday, Feb 22 2011, 7:15pm
A headline from one of Murdoch’s Aussie rags reads, “Kristina Keneally says she can still win NSW state election!” For international readers not familiar with this woman, she is an AMERICAN pretending to power in the State of NSW, Australia – not difficult to understand in view of the recent WikiLeaks exposure of Labor Party factional leader, Mark Arbib’s treasonous relationship with Washington. If that revelation doesn’t turn the Australian people then the prospect of enduring more incompetence from a Yank State Premier, might. (story and 1 image)
