  Clinton reveals sordid but TRUE American Character posted by peptide, 2008-05-23 22:01:28
Did we all notice how quick America, France and other western nations were to send naval “assets” to the coast off Burma to ‘assist’ in the humanitarian crisis left in the wake of a horrendously destructive, global warming induced, giant cyclone that devastated the rice bowl of Burma? Is America and other affluent, energy hungry nations rushing to compensate Burma for destabilising the earth’s climate? Not on your life! (full story and 1 comments)

 George W Bush Authorized 9/11 Attacks Says Government Insider posted by Alex Jones, 2008-05-23 09:14:36
Keep in mind when reading this, that the man being interviewed is no two-bit internet conspiracy buff.
Stanley Hilton was a senior advisor to Sen Bob Dole (R) and has personally known Rumsfeld and Wolfowitz for decades. This courageous man has risked his professional reputation, and possibly his life, to get this information out to people.
The following is from his latest visit to Alex Jones' radio show.
Note: All honor to Stanley Hilton for risking his life so that we may know the truth of 9/11.
The Bush Junta Unmasked
"This (9/11) was all planned. This was a government-ordered operation. Bush personally signed the order. He personally authorized the attacks. He is guilty of treason and mass murder." --Stanley Hilton (full story)

For His Treatment of Children in the ‘War on Terror,’ Bush Is a War Criminal posted by Dave Lindorff via reed, 2008-05-23 08:36:24
Surely nothing that President Bush has done in his two wretched terms of office — not the invasion and destruction of Iraq, not the overturning of the five-centuries-old tradition of habeas corpus, not his authorization and encouragement of torture, not his campaign of domestic spying — nothing, can compare in its ugliness as his approval, as commander in chief, of the imprisoning of over 2500 children.

 Ill-advised Oz PM weighs into Art debate posted by finch, 2008-05-22 22:14:26
The Australian Prime Minister, Kevin Rudd, is a known media prancer/show pony; he rarely (never) makes decisions without considering the level of political gain derived from media exploitation. However, the media is a two-edged sword and Rudd may have just inflicted a deep wound on himself in an attempt to capitalise on a controversial photographic exhibition by world-renowned Australian photographer, Bill Henson.

 Sowing the wind posted by nano, 2008-05-20 23:04:30
Over twenty years ago (take note Al) an Australian commercial channel aired a program on the impending destructive effects of pollution on the climate and the environment. It was a measured, rational, non-sensationalist but heavily supported with scientific data presentation. It detailed the effects of global warming on major ocean currents and the dire consequences for North-Western Europe; it highlighted the potential wholesale destruction of sensitive coral reefs and the maritime ecology. It referred to biological indicators, stressed amphibians, frogs and the disturbed migration pattern of birds. All evident at the time – 20 years ago! But the most alarming indicator was accelerated glacial melting/receding -- high mountain glaciers feed the world’s largest food producing river systems! (full story and 2 comments)

The Real Enemy posted by evo, 2008-05-20 09:17:43
The world today is awash with misinformation, disinformation, disinfected news stories, simplistic solutions, outrageous propaganda and the illusion that warring/opposing forces are distinct. Bush, his neo-cons, Bin laden, Al-Qaeda, Christian, Jewish and Muslim fundamentalists ALL have one thing in common -- they are all CONSERVATIVE! (full story and 2 comments)

A Two-State Solution for the United States and Israel posted by David Bromwich via reed, 2008-05-18 22:26:00
We are slowly leaving the Bush presidency. Can we leave it fast enough for the safety of the world? George W. Bush thought it would be a good idea to help Israel celebrate its 60th birthday. So he showed up to celebrate, in spite of the gross contradiction his presence there offered against an appearance of impartiality in the negotiations between Israel and Palestine -- an accord whose success the president has said he intends to show as the diplomatic legacy of eight years in office.

Israel must be held to same nuclear scrutiny as Iran posted by Joe Parko via reed, 2008-05-18 21:58:39
First we went after nonexistent nuclear weapons in Iraq; now we are consumed with the possibility that Iran might develop nuclear weapons in the future. Hillary Clinton declared she would obliterate Iran if it launched a nuclear strike on Israel -- nothwithstanding it LACKS that capability! But what nobody wants to talk about is the fact that Israel has had a secret nuclear weapons program for more than 30 years and has produced well over 200 nuclear bombs! (full story)

Celebration of a spineless Nation posted by finch, 2008-05-18 10:28:49
When our previous colonial overlord, Britain, required a site to test its nuclear weapons, Australia was chosen; the then conservative Australian government was only too happy to accommodate England and poison/irradiate South Australia. Scant regard was given to our service personnel and the local Aborigines, as the many resulting deaths from cancer testify. (full story and 1 comments)

 Israel Address: Bush reveals the psychopathology of his America posted by jan, 2008-05-16 01:40:25
The Gettysburg address it isn’t! George ‘dubya’ Bush, the most criminally incompetent President the U.S. has ever known, delivered an address to the Israeli Knesset Thursday 15/5/08, and what a pathetic piece of drivel, fantasy and diatribe it was! (full story and 1 comments)

 Israel/America: the flea wagging the dog posted by fish, 2008-05-15 00:07:40
In lands far removed from the intrigues of American politics, the lopsided relationship and disproportionate power that Zionist Israel wields over gentile America appears absolutely grotesque; how is it that the world’s most powerful nation continues to kowtow to the wishes of tiny, extremely troublesome, Israel? It presents a most extraordinary sight from afar! Perhaps the advantage of a distant vantage may assist in obtaining an objective appreciation of the REAL reasons behind this absurd relationship.
