 Oz Labor Party Suicides
cyd, Saturday, Feb 25 2012, 7:52am
It is fitting that the clearly dysfunctional Labor Party of Australia is completely demolished from within by its last two leaders. The problem is not human frailty, though that is not in short supply in Labor ranks, but with an antiquated model that allows unrepresentative elements and factions to control the entire ship of insular fools -- and yes, how appropriate it is that the last two extremely flawed leaders close the curtain on Labor's future political viability for decades to come.

Huge Turnout as Spaniards Protest Stripping of Labor Rights
staff report via gan, Monday, Feb 20 2012, 7:39am
Reminiscent of the half-million souls that turned out in LA protesting immigration laws some years back, Spaniards took to the streets across Spain in numbers that approached one million. These protests were/are designed to remind elite powers that everything was built on the backs of workers and not to take the masses for granted. (story and 1 image)

Kevin Rudd the "psychopathic" Spoiler
baz, Sunday, Feb 19 2012, 8:20pm
Former PM and current 'infantile spoiler,' Kevin ‘non-event-photo op’ Rudd, is a psychopath, narcissist and ego-obsessed, according to ALP political insiders. The member for Bendigo, Steve Gibbons -- destined to lose his job if Gillard remains as leader -- was allocated the task of publicly articulating the sentiments of more than half the sitting Labor Party. Well, tell the Oz public something they don’t know!

Australian Labor Party Imploding
venom, Friday, Feb 17 2012, 8:14pm
The poisonous intrigues of the Australian Labor Party, especially the corrosive venom former vindictive leader Kevin 'non-event' Rudd continually sprays at sitting leader, Juliar 'carbon tax' Gillard, is tearing the Party apart. The solution is simple get rid of BOTH of them! The TOXIC DUO must be excised from the Party completely otherwise it runs the risk of years, possibly decades, outcast in the political wilderness. Be advised, Labor jellyfish! (story and 1 comment and 2 images)

Clinton remains irresistible..and not just to women
George Galloway via baz, Wednesday, Feb 15 2012, 9:08pm
AROUND a decade ago I had a boilerplate gag in my speeches, which went something like this: "I'm in favour of us having a special relationship with the United States, I just don't want us to have the kind that Miss Lewinsky had with President Clinton. One sided, undignified, immoral and with the junior partner always on their knees." [Are you reading this, Washington doormat Juliar Gillard AND all her custard-faced, knee-walking supporters?] (story and 1 image)

Criminal Ruling Elites Own All Western Democracies
quill, Wednesday, Feb 15 2012, 9:49am
As minority criminal forces frenetically pursue war with Iran via their appropriated state and corporate apparatuses; the Pentagon, Judicial System, UN, partial Hague Courts and corporate mass media, I am reminded of the lunatics that nefarious elites place in power to do their biding -- Obama, Cameron, Gillard, Sarkozy, Merkel to name a few.

Occupy, the protest movement you have in Wonderland
red queen, Tuesday, Feb 14 2012, 5:53am
Let's begin at the beginning, Occupy as a 'movement' goes nowhere; from day one to today it has effected NO CHANGE whatsoever. Videos of PASSIVE idiots allowing themselves to be sprayed with mace by sadistic police is hardly a victorious 'look' is it, vacuum heads? What sort of (defeatist) MESSAGE do mindless Occupy morons think they're sending to the public? To date Occupy has achieved NOTHING, it was and remains a dead-in-the-water STATIC 'movement,' please excuse the American contradictions but I am describing an American protest movement! We should ask why Occupy has achieved nothing POSITIVE to date? The obvious answer would be because it has no agenda, direction or ARTICULATED OBJECTIVES.

Fires raged in Athens overnight with reports that more than 40 buildings had been set ablaze in a violent response to the Greek parliament's passage of an unpopular austerity package negotiated with its European creditors - the EU, ECB, and IMF - in exchange for a tranche of new bailout funds.

Chinese Poet gets 7 Years for using Aussie Political Slogan
quin, Saturday, Feb 11 2012, 10:50am
Some years back a popular Australian 'socialist' leader, Gough Whitlam -- who was later deposed by the CIA -- took office against the odds using the slogan, "It's Time." The advertising agency that helped propel Whitlam to power would be pleased to learn that their slogan still packs a political punch and puts fear in the hearts of unrepresentative, minority governments.

Since the original release of the TV episode (below), scientists have developed a human transmissible strain of the deadly bird flu virus and puppet president Obama has legally granted the criminally corrupt US military the power to indefinitely detain anyone without trial or charge-- it doesn't get much worse, be warned!

Oz PM JuLIAR Gillard Lives up to Her Name yet Again
gemma, Wednesday, Feb 8 2012, 9:47am
Reprehensible LIAR and nationally reviled BITCH, Juliar Gillard, earned her reputation by serving foreign -- FIVE US military bases on Oz soil -- and Corporate/Banking interests (Carbon Tax) ahead of her own nation and its people; that simple! It was clear after her gut-turning address to the AMERICAN Congress (pewk) that the US had found the perfect obedient lackey in Juliar Gillard. (story and 1 image)

5 Wars America Must End for Peace and Freedom to Prevail
Eric Blair via gan, Monday, Feb 6 2012, 8:34am
I've arrived at the point that whenever I hear the word "war," I cringe. Even when that violent term is used in seemingly noble pursuits like the 'war' on poverty, or the 'war' on hunger. It's become apparent that all wars are destructive regardless of all good intentions. It has also become obvious that when the State declares war on a social problem, it is nothing more than an attempt to curtail our liberties and hard won freedoms.

Washington ‘blew it’ with Gillard

After backstabbing former PM, ‘show pony, do-nothing, hair dryer,’ Kevin Rudd, who it seemed decided to make some decisions for himself -- earning the ire of Murdoch and the White House in the process -- the powers, unaccustomed to their servile puppets in subjugated colonies not doing what they’re told, arranged for Gillard to replace Rudd, Roman Senate style.

Gillard: Oz jobs culled by high Aussie Dollar?
baz, Wednesday, Feb 1 2012, 7:05am
According to Washington doormat PM, Juliar ‘Goldman Tax’ Gillard, the cause of local job losses is the high Aussie dollar not the despicable policy of Corporations (she serves) heartlessly dumping workers at the slightest whim. Oz workers are expected to be loyal, slave for corporations and endure reduced benefits, wages and conditions – their reward for making personal sacrifices their mangers and directors are loath to make, is the sack.

Prior to publishing this material concerns were raised regarding short-circuiting the public's automatic programming and fizzling their pea brains, but after careful deliberation we decided to publish, as those able to withstand the shock of the REAL may be able to LIBERATE/free themselves and those that short circuit and become gibbering idiots can participate in the American Presidential Elections where a puppet is selected from either major party by criminal Banking and Corporate interests that control government and the country!

Karachi: Over 100,000 Protest Illegal US Drone Strikes
jalal, Saturday, Jan 28 2012, 9:09pm
While the US announces it will cut funds to its regular army/military, it not so subtly channelled those funds to support new, high-tech weapons and robotic warfare strategies. The problem is, as the world is well aware, robot Drones are war crime weapons, as they indiscriminately kill countless civilians -- and killing civilians (“bugsplat”) in war constitutes a war crime, for everyone except the US and NATO it would seem!

Obama Delivers State of Delusion Address
rumple, Wednesday, Jan 25 2012, 9:37pm
PUPPET president Obama dutifully delivered his rehearsed and scripted State of the Union address to a socially aware America/WORLD recently; and as the majority noted, the one outstanding feature of this address was its COMPLETE disconnect from SOCIAL REALITY. I mean, who is Obama and his handlers trying to kid? So completely divorced from REALITY was the entire mad hatters address that it beggared belief -- one can only wonder who is prescribing the (wrong) medication for the executive these days! The insular dunces that wrote the diatribe really need to get out more. Even the long-suffering, under-educated, spineless American population viewed the entire charade with the cynicism it deserved.

Voters Choice: Ron Paul or Israel Lobby
William A. Cook via reed, Monday, Jan 16 2012, 8:06pm
A curious glance at the current crop of presidential candidates makes it clear that Ron Paul stands alone when it comes to the issue of US engagement in foreign wars. He stands with George Washington against foreign entanglements while the rest of the candidates stand with Teddy Roosevelt and the attempted creation of America 's first empire one hundred and twelve years ago. Mark Twain responded to that effort by creating the Anti-imperialist society while he caustically satirized the effort in his depiction of the massacre of the Moros in the Philippines . Now we have more massacres, using drones instead of canons, on equally hapless civilians who are caught unawares or hiding from the wrath of America 's righteousness as we drive to bring virtue to a primitive world.
