'Government of the Corporations by the Corporations FOR the Corporations' -- that is the hard, cruel REALITY of today, sheeple! (full story)

 BALIBO: the enduring FAILURE of spineless Australia posted by Sarah Collerton via rialator, 2009-06-22 20:55:38
The Australian journalist who broke the story of the Balibo Five is disappointed his own government has failed to act over the deaths of the journalists.
[Successive governments since Whitlam have failed to pursue this now PROVEN case of murder. FIVE unarmed Australian citizens were slaughtered by Indonesian special forces in East Timor in 1975. To this day that crime remains the clearest indication of Australia's TRUE COWARDLY character. NO VALID reasons, political or otherwise, exist that would prevent bringing the culpable to trial yet our internationally humiliated servile show pony, PM, Kevin 'custard face' Rudd, displays only avoidance, RETICENCE, COWARDICE, TIMIDITY and FEAR! And YES, it is true that national leaders reflect the national character; take a long, hard, look at yourselves Australia. A land of CRINGING, xenophobic, racist, COWARDS!

PNAC: a progress report posted by finn, 2009-06-20 00:35:20
I really can’t say which particular American breach of International Law or violation of human rights did it – there are so many TORTUROUS options to choose from; however, for me it may have been a slow, solid, build-up that culminated in the most profound exposure and subsequent disillusionment with the nation that asserted it would ‘rule the world’ for a century!
