  Oz Labor Party Begs for Mercy posted by Marissa Calligeros via baz, 2012-03-22 22:11:34
Begging has never been what could be described as a successful winning strategy to gain political leadership - LOL! However, in the most appalling political turn of events seen anywhere in the world -- probably in all political history -- an Australian, female-led (no reflection on strong, capable, Aussie women of integrity whatsoever), State Labor Government has taken to begging the public for consideration and admitting DEFEAT BEFORE the elections have been held -- My God!

 The tragedy of WikiLeaks: it’s all about Assange! posted by nano, 2012-03-21 23:57:24
The most enduring criticism of Assange by many former WikiLeaks members/volunteers and workers is that a brilliant digital idea somehow degenerated into a cult of personality media circus; it’s now all about Assange! (full story)

 I Believe in the American Dream(world!) posted by virgil, 2012-03-21 00:48:58
Truly, there is nothing new under the sun regarding human folly, perversity and imbecility. Consider some headlines in today’s alternative newswires; “Afghanistan Massacre - No One Asked Their Names,” Well, of course they didn’t, the first rule of war is to devalue then dehumanise your enemy that way it makes it easier to piss on their corpses, burn their Holy books and rape/slaughter their women and children – you mindless morons, which universe have you been living in since the criminal USA publicly and officially announced that killing 500,000 innocent Iraqi children “WAS WORTH IT?

The Fear of Dissent and the Road to Totalitarianism posted by frank, 2012-03-19 01:20:19
It doesn’t get much worse than indefinite detention without trial or charge and ‘legal’ assassinations of citizens on secret executive order – even mass murdering Stalin couldn’t get-away with both of those draconian impositions on his people. But American whipped-dog SLAVES lap it up and beg for more! So, not unexpectedly, the latest 'order' puppet president to the plutocrats, Obama, has signed reinforces the totalitarian direction the nation is taking. Unrestrained by law or civil government, you are now officially dispossessed, signed, Emperor of Amerika, Barack Obama! (full story and 6 comments)

 Assange to run for Oz Parliament posted by fanny, 2012-03-16 22:49:52
It seems the only qualification required to become an Oz Parliamentarian these days is how well you can suck American dick, or expressed more tactfully, how well Aussie pollies can kowtow and 'kneewalk' in Washington! (full story)

UPDATE: Occupy 'Movement' -- is it really moving? posted by dipster, 2012-03-16 00:13:53
Only the mindless genitally groped, indefinitely detained yanks could have invented a non-event movement such as OWS -- for pete's sake, Wall Street is that-a-way! (full story and 1 comments)

"Towbacks," a Radical but Effective Solution to Indonesian Corruption posted by mitch, 2012-03-15 08:13:30
A very shrewd opposition proposal (policy) to tow people-smuggling vessels back to their point of origin has outraged Indonesia's foreign minister, who views the very effective solution to rampant Indonesian corruption, as "impossible!" However, we can ASSURE Indonesian FM, Marty Natalegawa, that the policy would not only gain popular support in Oz, but would be an extremely feasible, effective and simple solution to the ongoing problem of people smuggling. Perhaps corrupt Indonesian regulators, police, navy personnel and politicians may now review their odorous position with regard to the lucrative business of people smuggling! (full story)

 Stratfor: Blood On Their Hands posted by Khadija Sharife via sal, 2012-03-11 08:21:24
Even if we were to place epistemological and ethical questions aside, certain Stratfor's analysts are turning out to be rather twisted creatures. While some turn party tricks for intelligence, except in AIDS-infested Africa, others, such as Fred Burton – a counter-terrorism and security expert, alleged to frequently service US intelligence, are a tad aggressive. One of Fred's gems include: "The owner is a peacenik. He needs his head dunked in a full toilet bowl at Gitmo." So much for niceties. (full story)

Terrorists everywhere – with new draconian ‘laws’ come new categories! posted by jake, 2012-03-10 21:37:05
The recent labeling by the government of ‘Anonymous’ and other dissenting and protesting groups as ‘terrorists’ is NOT unexpected and should have been anticipated by activists everywhere -- we are NOT naïve! (full story and 1 comments)

The War on America posted by jeff, 2012-03-10 10:27:42
The USA has enshrined in its Constitution safeguards that should have prevented it falling into totalitarianism; I refer to the right of the people to bear arms and the Constitutional power invested in the population to remove any government – by force if necessary -- that subverts the values and principles upon which the nation was founded.

 Flights of Unreason posted by sabre, 2012-03-08 21:20:54
Gawd! First we had Chris Hedges 'tripping' on, orchestrated by the man to do nothing, the Occupy 'movement' -- the movement you have when you're not moving! Now we have once respected (and grounded, I thought) journalist, Pepe Escobar, tripping the light of unreason on corrupt Western lackey and Russian gangster, Vlad Putin! (full story and 1 comments)

 Calls for 'kneepads' Smith to Resign as Defence Minister posted by Dennis Shanahan via baz, 2012-03-07 08:21:41
The findings of an inquiry into a sex scandal at an Australian defence academy, even in their distilled form, lays the groundwork for credible demands that Stephen 'kneepads' Smith resign from the defence portfolio. (full story)

 Putin Wins, the People Lose posted by uri, 2012-03-06 08:19:09
Much in the same way as Obama won the US presidency and the majority of Americans lost, Putin is set for six years of more corruption and self-interest. ‘Left’ media outlets and journos are falling over themselves in joyful glee over Putin’s victory; Pepe Escobar could hardly contain himself on RT (video below) over the outcome of the Russian elections but the hard facts remain, corruption and self-interest rule Russia; you should follow the money straight to Wall St, American and European Banks – including, of course, Putin’s own wealth, most of which is in Western Banks and financial institutions, choke on some real facts you deluded, political clowns!
