  Serbian compliant dogs HAND OVER Karadzic posted by dragan, 2008-07-21 23:21:13
Like all proud sovereign nations we catch and kill our own if necessary; we certainly DO NOT hand them over to a court that releases known Albanian and Croatian war criminals and PERSECUTES SERBS! The track record of the Hague speaks for itself; even former special prosecutor Carla Del Ponte has exposed the obvious BIAS of the ICC against Serbs! (full story and 1 comments)

 Counter Intelligence Training posted by yarra, 2008-07-21 10:26:22
Sometimes it pays to inform your opponent directly rather than leading him by the nose or allowing him to believe he actually thought of something rather than act on the very subtle cues you placed in his brain. Great idea, why didn’t I think of that? Doh! (full story)

 Serbia: eat shit and learn to like it! posted by branko, 2008-07-20 23:31:29
As Belgrade considers returning ambassadors to nations that recognised the illegal secession of Kosovo, Montenegro considers recognition! Recognition by Montenegro would be the last straw for the Serbian people and nation; Serbia would be destined for oblivion, which has been the American/NATO plan since the illegal bombings of 1999.

 Obama falls victim to propaganda posted by Eric Margolis via rialator, 2008-07-20 21:45:44
Barack Obama wants to withdraw U.S. troops from Iraq and send them to Afghanistan, which he calls the real front on the "war on terror." He also has repeated threats to attack Pakistan "if necessary." One understands Obama's need to sound macho. Rival John McCain has been beating his chest, proclaiming, "I know how to win wars." Polls show Americans trust McCain three to one over Obama as a war leader. Unfortunately, recent U.S. presidents seem to require small military conflicts to prove their political virility.

 Learn from U.S. Failures posted by Kingfisher, 2008-07-19 22:47:37
The entire world has a great opportunity to learn from the devastating failures of the USA. America’s major failures include (the lack of) government accountability, disregarding LAW and international convention, economic MISMANAGEMENT and of course DESTRUCTIVE FOREIGN POLICY! The perpetrators and others responsible are well known; rounding them up for trial would be a simple matter. (full story and 2 comments)

Greatest opportunity since War of Independence posted by major mitchell, 2008-07-18 23:36:53
The founding fathers shared the fear that commercial or other self-serving interests would one day hijack their new democratic Republic. [Current circumstances in the U.S. prove these fears were not unfounded]. Provisions were encoded in the Constitution and Bill of Rights to safeguard the fledgling democracy and ensure it remained free of commercially destructive, self-serving interests. The right of citizens to bear arms allowed for a ready militia or citizen’s army that could march on the Capital at short notice if the need arose. The RIGHT to bear arms was NOT designed for personal defence it was designed for NATIONAL DEFENCE AGAINST AN INTERNAL ENEMY! (full story and 1 comments)

An Open Letter to the Chief Prosecutor of the ICC posted by David Swanson via rialator, 2008-07-18 09:33:30
Dear Chief Prosecutor,
Congratulations on your request for an arrest warrant for the president of Sudan. When the rule of law cannot be justly enforced within a nation, it must be enforced internationally. In that regard, I would like to recommend that you seek an arrest warrant for the president of my nation, the United States of America. I have read your letter of February 9, 2006, in which you decline to seek prosecution of George W. Bush, and I believe new evidence compels another review. (full story)

Inept Oz governments attempt to avoid scrutiny/accountability posted by quin, 2008-07-18 01:00:09
The following example pertains to Australia, however, it easily applies to other developed nations today. The report principally highlights attempts by scurrilous politicians, incompetent governments and regulatory authorities to avoid scrutiny and accountability. If the truth of bungling, incompetence, treasonous activity and downright criminality was made public those involved would spend the rest of their remaining years in jail or at the very least disgraced and ostracised by civil society.

 Lost Republic: America normalises War posted by budgie, 2008-07-16 21:57:44
Normalisation, in the social context, means taken as natural/accepted/given, something NOT unusual, foreign or affronting! Who would have ever imagined that WAR would be normalised in the USA? Yet Republican candidate, John McCain, boasts and utilises WAR rhetoric as a campaign strategy to WIN THE PRESIDENCY! “I know how to win wars,” he boasts, notwithstanding the fact there is no evidence to support his demented claim! Nevertheless, his insane ranting is accepted by the community as ‘normal’ – the FACT he is running for the HIGHEST OFFICE in the land confirms the grotesque cultural transformation America has undergone in the last eight years.

 Bush’s America, ruination and desolation posted by nano, 2008-07-16 01:48:10
Independent analysts and commentators could all laugh a satisfying laugh and sing the refrain of ‘we told you so,’ if we weren’t committed professionals dedicated to serving the PUBLIC interest. Few citizens today need convincing that the Bush regime is the most incompetent in U.S. history. In a few short years Bush’s mindless ‘management’ and aggressive policies have bankrupted the nation and ostracised the world. The economy has been thoroughly ruined, it is now beyond recovery in its old form. If it is to survive it must first die! (full story and 2 comments)

Quiet, please! posted by Ursula Sautter and Mary Pinkowish via quill, 2008-07-15 10:44:29
A leaf blower, snow blower, lawn mower and two huge dogs—Peter D’Epiro can describe in excruciating detail how his neighbour’s lawn equipment and pets ruined summer afternoons and dinner parties for him and his wife for more than a decade in Ridgewood, New Jersey. But he’d rather not. “I can barely think about that situation without rushing for the Valium or the IV gin drip,” he says. (full story)

 Indonesian Pres. offers no apology to Timor-Leste posted by luis, 2008-07-15 09:46:25
The longsuffering people of Timor-Leste received no apology today after an inquiry revealed that the Indonesian military and Indonesian security forces were responsible for committing and inciting murder, rape and torture in Timor-Leste in 1999. Approximately fifteen hundred Timorese were murdered by militias and an indeterminate number were raped and tortured after militias went on a rampage killing and destroying crucial infrastructure in East Timor!

Oz Judiciary upholds democratic Rights posted by peptide, 2008-07-14 22:32:52
The world, but particularly Australia, remembers the dark day when police-state tactics were introduced to the nation by the most incompetent government the state of NSW has ever known. The APEC summit was utilised to impose the most draconian policing/laws this peaceful nation has ever seen. The blackshirt State Premier, Morris ‘il duce’ Iemma today lost his case to impose additional draconian laws on the good people of NSW. Iemma hurriedly passed laws in parliament for the Pope’s visit and WYD that effectively impinged on the civil liberties of citizens. (full story and 1 comments)

 A taste for the socially ‘aware’ posted by barra, 2008-07-13 00:24:28
Today, July 13, my news aggregator revealed a world of INANITIES in the mainstream press! After glancing at the featured content, I realised we, the masses, are completely LOST. It hit home (hard) that ‘pigs, dogs’ and incompetent buffoons rule the world because they actually REPRESENT the mindless, moronic MAJORITY – therein lies the formula/seeds of our destruction! The grim fate beckoning vacuum-heads beckons us ALL – I began to wish it was all a bad dream but it was worse, it was on TV! (full story and 3 comments)

 Ramos-Horta learning realpolitik posted by AFP via reed, 2008-07-12 00:01:24
If anyone is qualified to assist the former Portuguese Colony of Timor-Leste, it’s the former Portuguese colony, Brazil! Principally because former colonies face similar problems and the last thing Timor-Leste needs at this time is another patronising white nation interfering in local politics and development. Lula’s record is proven and his credentials impeccable, impossible to beat! (full story)
