  Censorship Minister Conroy 'busted' for corrupt dealings posted by gan, 2010-02-14 06:17:09
Didn't we know it from the start! Censorship serves the interests of media corporations that wish to stifle competition from the Internet. With Kevin 'yes Rupert' Rudd as PM and Stephen 'snowing money' Conroy as minister for communications, media moguls have never had it so good! Money is no object, as the mass media is a money machine provided that competition from Internet Independents is managed by very convenient censorship legislation. $250 million reeks of CORRUPTION -- a FULL INQUIRY is certainly warranted for this overtly corrupt deal -- give us all a break, you servile, incompetent Labor politicians -- pathetic!

 New Balkans Wars on the Horizon posted by Dr. Pyotr Iskenderov via reed, 2010-02-12 04:05:05
The situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina will get strained as soon as Bosnian Serbs hold a referendum on their constitutional status. Its aim is to prevent leaders in Sarajevo, the US and EU from eliminating Republika Srpska. The outgoing Croatian President, Stjepan Mesic, promised that if the referendum takes place, the regular army of Croatia will enter the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina to cut off the 15-km Posavina corridor, which connects the western and the eastern parts of Republika Srpska in the area of Brcko, close to the Croatian border!

 Talking Junk Economics and Eating Caviar posted by stan, 2010-02-11 21:35:48
Politicians, Economists, Bankers and Corporatists continue to spout pure, unadulterated shit (lies of recovery) while in the REAL WORLD the global economy slips further into decline. However, the public seems to be buying the nonsensical drivel issuing from the mouths of paid commentators, partisan economists, and puppet politicians – but not for long! (full story and 2 comments)

To Anonymous and ALL the crewz posted by Kismo, 2010-02-10 17:53:55
[Greetz to ALL the keyboard warriors and kiddies alike – We are ONE (we shouldn’t forget most of us started as kiddies!)]
The hacker group Anonymous, after a previous failed, but big hearted, attempt finally downed Oz government web sites with Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks – got there in the end dudes! But don’t forget to give credit where it’s due, to an early pioneer hacker and warrior, the man who developed the principles/STRATEGY, code and early tools to implement Denial of Service attacks, it was his brain and skill that downed Yahoo in the early days – no one thought it could be done, another barrier overcome – there are no limits to the skill and creative minds of elite hackers! So I take this opportunity to give credit where it’s due, to the man himself, ‘mixter’ – well done, you old cunt; we couldn’t have done it without you! (full story and 1 comments)

 Servile Rudd acquiesces to Washington’s demands! posted by ryall, 2010-02-09 07:41:58
Despite clear warnings from scientists that exposure to direct radiation from body scanners is unsafe, our pathetic Washington lackey PM, Kevin ‘custard face’ Rudd, did not hesitate when America ordered the installation of full body scanners at Oz airports! Are we no longer capable of assessing the suitability of these costly, cumbersome and potentially lethal radiation machines? Must our custard-faced, gutless leaders, ‘yez boss’ every dictate from Washington without question; where is the evaluation and risk assessment to health, notwithstanding privacy issues? Let’s hear it from OUR EXPERTS not from a lackey (jellyfish) leader who snaps to attention whenever Washington demands! (full story and 1 comments)

Rudd displays his servitude to Murdoch and Hollywood Studios posted by kurt, 2010-02-08 17:36:05
Piss-weak Oz PM, Kevin ‘yes Rupert’ Rudd, dodged a direct answer to a question from Oz youth relating to a recent landmark court case which mega Hollywood studios and media moguls LOST – how sweet it is! As usual, our spineless, subservient PM – makes ya proud to be an Aussie lackey – skirted around what every commentator knows; Rudd does what he’s told by the BIG BUSINESS interests that placed him in Office. It’s enough to make you clean and oil your ‘weapon!’ (full story and 1 comments)

The Terror-Industrial Complex -- Criminal Nation, Terrorist State posted by Chris Hedges via fleet, 2010-02-08 16:52:49
The conviction of the Pakistani neuroscientist Aafia Siddiqui in New York last week of trying to kill American military officers and FBI agents illustrates that the greatest danger to our security does not come from al-Qaida but the thousands of shadowy mercenaries, kidnappers, killers and torturers our government employs around the globe.

Preludes to Dynamic Social Change posted by lynx, 2010-02-07 19:55:34
Yawning chasms of DISPARITY and INEQUITY have preceded every social r/evolution in history; are we blind to the signs in the sky today? NO! However, the (let them eat cake) arrogant attitude of self-styled elites blinds them to the consequences of their criminal, corrupt actions. Take for example, Financiers, Bankers and Corporate CEOs; they insider trade, exploit, LIE and CHEAT, O-P-E-N-L-Y displaying the UTMOST CONTEMPT for the masses, LAW and GOVERNMENT, then rub the noses of the public and our once functional regulatory social institutions in their excrement! What would you suppose are the consequences of these appalling actions; history bulges with information? (full story)

Last Rites for the USA posted by Cindy Sheehan via reed, 2010-02-07 08:13:44
Many people mistakenly believe that corporations were given the same rights (not just privileges) as persons in this Supreme Court decision, but nothing could be farther from the truth - the reason my nation is such a dysfunctional system now is not because of a Supreme Court decision, nor a law passed by Congress, nor by a referendum of the people: it's because of a single statement, one sentence, spoken by a Supreme Court Chief Justice before the hearing even began.

The American Presidency, what presidency? posted by Sheila Stuff via fray, 2010-02-07 06:03:26
It boggles the mind reading this very accurate account of the completely ineffective role of the U.S. President today.
From George H Bush, Clinton to Obama the exact same status quo is in operation and the same private ruling interests are in control of the nation! However, the American people continue to argue the toss regarding Obama's total lack of credibility and influence in the REAL affairs of the nation. Instead of confronting the reality of a paper mache 'Hope and Change' President, we get distracting Obama blah blah! American democracy is dead, the Republic has been lost to private, vested interests for decades! (full story)

 The Discourse of Disconnect posted by quin, 2010-02-05 20:04:29
ARTIFICIAL debt, WAR, terror, fear and a discourse that has all the ‘appeal’ of a bit of shit on the end of a stick; with this arsenal ‘they’ hope to capture and manage an increasingly aware population; however, it is clear they have FAILED! The (predicted) global economic collapse of 2010 VERIFIES the FACT. Regardless of the name they attribute to the failure, ‘sub-prime,' 'sovereign debt' or whatever, the cause is the lack of sound, basic economic principles/policies. Production, savings/asset growth ensures stability and prosperity FOR ALL; debt-fuelled, rampant consumerism ensures collapse, simple! 'Their solution’ in times of built-in system-failure (huge DISPARITY) is war, terror, fear and lawless assassination squads targeting ‘their’ perceived enemies – it has come to this, an open SOCIO-PATHOLOGY! Certainly no model for enduring success, plain to see! (full story and 1 comments)
