  Decay and Renewal posted by Kingfisher, 2006-04-20 08:09:48
The latest offering from the Bush administration is a nuclear attack on Iran; after only a few years in power this insane administration is ready to wage nuclear warfare! If this is not cause for alarm then resign yourselves to your fate (lemmings). (full story)

 Option Depletion and the Military Response posted by peptide, 2006-04-10 15:15:25
Analysts have been aware of the planned sequence of attacks on Afghanistan, Iraq and Iran from the start, ‘two down one to go’; this plan was conceived in the nineties. The future utilisation of ‘strategic’ or tactical nuclear weapons (so-called bunker-busters) was clearly indicated by the US military during the Afghan campaign. The planned attack on Iran incorporating nuclear weapons should not surprise anyone. The USA has proven to the world that it is unable to prevail in sustained conventional warfare. The troops and the nation are simply not up to the task, successful ground combat is now beyond the capability of the USA – China, Russia and other powers have taken note. (full story)

 Christian Activism in Oz: Pine Gap Protest posted by Sean O'Reilly, 2006-03-06 11:50:23
On Friday in the Alice Springs Magistrate’s Court, magistrate Melanie Little found me not guilty of obstructing a Commonwealth official. The charge, which carries a maximum 2 years imprisonment, arose out of the Pine Gap 6’s action in December under the banner of Christians Against All Terrorism. After four of the group had been arrested inside the base attempting to carry out a citizen’s inspection, Jessica Morrison and I were detained by Commonwealth Protective Services (CPS) officers as we vigiled in support at the base entrance. As the traffic banked up in what eventually was a 4-hour lockdown of Pine Gap, I was arrested by officer David Parker after questioned his authority for searching our vehicle and removing cameras, banners and other belongings. On Monday, the assistant federal prosecutor for the Northern Territory, Mr. Paul Usher, presented evidence provided by Parker, fellow CPS officer, Veronica Maass, a further CPS officer and 2 N.T police officers.

 Corruption and Decline posted by peptide, 2006-03-03 04:17:57
Bush is not very good at anything, with that fact the world is fully acquainted, however, even the lowliest morons are usually good liars but recent video evidence has proven that Bush is not even skilled in the lowly art of lying. All doubts regarding Bush’s prior knowledge of the magnitude and destructive impact expected of Katrina have been dispelled by the release of video evidence clearly portraying Bush in full knowledge of the then pending emergency. We leave the pathological problem of Bush and the lying neo-cons in the incapable hands of the American people; the Bush regime is internationally known as the most deceitful and tawdry in American history. Good luck doodles, China and Russia could not hope for better! (full story)

 Holy and Sacred: Turd or Temple posted by cleaves, 2006-02-24 01:55:00
The famous Shiite Askariyah shrine (Golden Mosque) in Iraq has been targeted and destroyed but by whom remains unclear at this stage. Regardless of the intentions of those responsible, one dramatic (and historically consistent) point cuts through the hysteria and mayhem. That of the importance (or otherwise) of sites that are deemed sacred or holy and the 'location' of this attribution in human consciousness and/or human societies/groups. Social history records naturally occurring phenomena, rocks, rivers etc; structures built by men, temples, obelisks etc; cyclic astronomical phenomena, eclipses, comets etc, all of which have been attributed by humans with special significance at one time or another, whereas none of these produced or naturally occurring phenomenon are ‘holy’ or ‘sacred’.

  Water Pistol posted by happy jack, 2006-01-30 05:32:19
The indices of war have been re-shuffled, but please don’t broadcast! The international mass media are loath to run in-depth stories highlighting the absurdity of the present war on terrorism; the ‘mouse’ has the elephant on the run. A handful of dedicated men have demonstrated to all the oppressed people of the world that man, not technology, is the most effective weapon in modern warfare. So-called low-tech weapons in the hands of superior minds are making a mockery of the propaganda of ‘super’ powers. It is extremely fortunate that the Chinese people have not yet asserted their prerogatives – contemplate those consequences for a moment! (full story)

Bin Laden Backfire posted by nano, 2006-01-22 04:06:07
US ‘intelligence’ agencies now realise the ‘Bin Laden’ tape has been a huge flop and the effect has been the reverse of that anticipated. It has also proven to be a monumental liability as people around the globe are now questioning the veracity of all allegations relating to Bin Laden and Al Qaeda; Howard and Blair beware, even the Arabs are questioning their ideological base. Well done Semitic ideologues, neo-cons and Straussians. External attacks are unnecessary, you are doing an excellent job on yourselves – no help needed or wanted! (full story)

Grandiose Visions – Nightmare Realities posted by Kingfisher, 2006-01-09 05:08:47
The “New American Century” (PNAC) and the “Thousand Year Reich”, shared a similar preposterous vision; a crude blend of wishful thinking, fantasy and religiosity. However, the chronologically modest American ‘vision’ is no less dangerous and destructive a model; in fact, the potential for destruction on a scale never before seen is inherent in the ‘New American (graveyard) Century’.

Oz Military targets Australian Society posted by Dale Mills, 2006-01-03 03:49:51
“Dead and wounded dissidents, if identifiable, must be removed immediately by the police ... When being reported, dissident and own casualties are categorised merely as dead or wounded. To inhibit propaganda exploitation by the dissidents the cause of the casualties (for example, ‘shot’) is not reported. A follow-up operation should be carried out to maintain the momentum of the dispersing crowd.” (full story)

Modern Warfare posted by cleaves, 2005-03-08 03:49:18
A popular myth of today is that America is the “undisputed” leading military power of the world. However, does this claim stand up to the scrutiny of even the simplest analysis? All things are relative in a military context so the obvious question is against whom is this ‘power’ dominant? The combined nuclear assets of the Sino-Russian alliance alone is enough to dispatch the entire American continent, if the sheer force of numbers (manpower) is included, the ‘winner’ would be the Chinese and Russians. In the context of all-out war the one absolute fact (that the US attempts to ignore) is mutual assured destruction. The Zionist lunatics (Perle, Wolfowitz, Rumsfeld) who persuaded Bush to abandon nuclear disarmament treaties, thereby giving other nations similar license, have put us all in jeopardy. (full story)

State of the Union posted by cleaves, 2005-02-15 05:32:14
There has never been an instance in recorded history when a nation that achieved military superiority did not attempt to dominate other nations. This is the inevitable result of gaining a strategic or technological ‘advantage.’ In view of the historical record, is it unusual that America would abandon its founding principles in favour of despotism and the pursuit of world domination? The path the US has taken is not new; it is a tired well-worn path that leads to certain destruction. (full story)

The First and Last Front posted by cleaves, 2005-01-19 07:04:00
The American fiction industry has taught its citizens that an enemy will surrender when ‘superior’ force is confronted. It hasn’t taught its citizens how to cope with an enemy that will never capitulate, an enemy that continues to fight in the face of overwhelming odds. What to do? It is impossible in today’s world to "kill them all." The hard reality of US intervention is combat, men against men, and today we learn that the US military has lost what little nerve it had.

Genius posted by cleaves, 2005-01-16 07:45:54
Regardless of methods of analysis or the opinions and deductions of all the think tanks and geniuses there is no escaping the conclusion that even a child could draw. Peace and Love are the solutions for the ills that beset our world (and ourselves.) (full story)
