  The Appalling Incompetence of Rudd and Conroy posted by Kismo, 2010-05-04 08:51:54
Rudd’s communications minister Stephen Conroy was forced to admit, in Parliament, that the $24 (wasted) million, ISP filter plan could easily and LEGALLY be circumvented. Conroy admitted that circumvention techniques – VPN and Proxy server methods -- had been demonstrated to him personally at Enex Testlab in Melbourne. Conroy confirmed that no legal measures would be applied to ISPs to prohibit the use of the above circumvention methods – so what’s the point of the expensive (now failed) filter plan I hear you say? Well, ask the most policy failed, financially wasteful PM we’ve ever had, Kevin ‘hair dryer’ Rudd. (full story)

 American ‘know-how:’ not worth a ‘pinch of shit!’ posted by korel, 2010-04-14 22:31:11
It is no secret this site – and sister sites throughout the world -- vigorously oppose state terrorism and unrepresentative, fraudulent democracy – hence we oppose the FLAGRANTLY criminal USA and its allies! We shout our condemnation from the rooftops, in the streets we OPENLY and FREELY distribute CDs, flyers, every form of media and written hard copy imaginable and of course we SATURATE the digital world with accurate information about a NATION gone ROGUE and its criminal activities. And for all this OVERT activity over nearly a decade, the US and their (tenth-rate) geniuses/agents and a host of other imbeciles from associated criminal organisations, have failed to apprehend ONE of us -- YES, I mean ‘1’ – ROFLMFAO!

 Unprecedented Internet Censorship Bill Passed in UK posted by Steve Watson via fleet, 2010-04-11 21:02:00
Nefarious slaver forces have begun implementing a long held policy to censor the free flow of information on the Internet. It seems 'someone' has something to hide. Our response; long live free speech and freedom of expression, you criminal, slaver, bastards!
Their policy is dumb 'em down and keep them IGNORANT, servile and amenable to our control via our managed propaganda/media outlets. OUR position is simply, F-R-E-E-D-O-M! (full story)

 UK Guardian Censors Truth regarding Iraq Invasion posted by quill, 2010-04-04 20:32:18
In a published interview with the UK Guardian, Mohammed ElBaradei, Nobel Peace Prize winner and former head of the IAEA, levelled a strong, unambiguous criticism at those responsible for the illegal invasion of Iraq. ElBaradeie, cited WMD as a fabricated excuse for an illegal invasion and plainly stated that “regime change,” is not condoned under ANY international law! To date, Mohammed ElBaradei, is the highest ranking official to formally state that responsibility for the civilian holocaust in Iraq – OVER ONE MILLION INNOCENT CIVILIANS DEAD – rests with the US and its allies.

 Media Toxic posted by quill, 2010-03-26 20:14:19
Interesting concept and extremely powerful REALITY today; in a media saturated world (thanks Rupert) it was only a matter of time before media consumers became familiar with the tricks and machinations of the trade – that time is NOW! (full story)

 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!

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)

 Internet Censorship in Oz: Forces of Freedom vs Forces of Oppression posted by Kismo, 2010-02-03 18:26:05
The Federal Court in Sydney today ruled in favour of Internet Service Provider, iiNet, in an action mounted by a group of AMERICAN and local media heavies which include, Universal Pictures, Warner Bros, Paramount Pictures, Sony Pictures Entertainment, 20th Century Fox, Disney, Village Roadshow and the local Seven TV Network. These mega-media companies claimed that iiNet infringed copyright by allowing subscribers to download/share movies, television programs and other media products; however, Justice Dennis Cowdroy stated in the clearest possible terms that it was “impossible” to hold iiNet responsible for the actions of its subscribers! You bewdy! That’s one for the people; how does it feel, Rupert? (full story and 1 comments)

 FOX rated No.1 ‘News’ Channel in US! posted by fleet, 2010-01-30 21:22:51
Slightly over 1,000 Americans surveyed, in a population approaching three hundred million, rated FOX News, ‘most trusted’ news outlet with a 50%-plus, approval rating; a figure well above the nearest competitor, CNN, with a 39% approval rating. The reason for Murdoch’s apparent success is plain to see – Murdoch completely dumped the charade of impartiality and deliberately wooed a partisan audience with the most biased and twisted commentary imaginable – so what’s the problem? People forget that News and the media are BUSINESSES, ie CORPORATE ENTITIES designed to turn a buck above ALL other considerations, TRUTH has little to do with it unless it happens to support an existing policy direction.

Criminally Complicit Mass Media posted by Media Lens via stan, 2010-01-16 18:14:34
Ignoring or downplaying Western crimes is a standard feature of the corporate Western media. On rare occasions when a broadcaster or newspaper breaks ranks and reports 'our' crimes honestly, it is instructive to observe the response from the rest of the media. Do they follow suit, perhaps digging deeper for details, devoting space to profiles of the victims and interviews with grieving relatives, humanising all concerned? Do they put the crimes in perspective as the inevitable consequence of rapacious Western power? Or do they look away? (full story)

 Leadership, by the minority for the minority posted by ryall, 2010-01-10 20:53:08
The recent flurry of media activity relating to ‘underpants’ and YEMEN has taken a new turn with Obama now stating he has “no intention” of invading Yemen – previously he threatened the Yemeni government with, to paraphrase, ‘if you don’t take care of the ‘terrorists,’ WE WILL DO IT FOR YOU!’ Sounds like a clear threat of invasion to me, but one day is a long time in politics!

Journalism: a matter of integrity and character posted by quill, 2010-01-08 19:23:28
Should WE be surprised that today’s mainstream journos have sold out to nefarious minority interests when most professions, which have traditionally served the public interest, sold out long ago? Should we commend journos for holding out so long before they too sold out or should we condemn them completely? (full story)

 How ruling elites support and protect their PUPPET politicians posted by nib, 2010-01-02 22:59:47
After taking a massive Carbon Trading (PR) ‘body blow’ at No-Hopen-Hagen and suffering jibes of “loser” and accusations of “coward,” for RETREATING rather than directly confronting new opposition leader, Tony ‘the basher’ Abbott, the Oz PM, Kevin ‘CENSORSHIP' Rudd, is in dire need of assistance, especially from his CORPORATE and MEDIA MASTERS – and they sure are quick to protect their property!

Censorship and Puppet government in Oz posted by Kismo, 2010-01-01 20:28:53
The western world is aware that ‘laboratory Australia’ will soon trial, for nefarious ruling minorities, UNDEMOCRATIC, MANDATORY, information CENSORSHIP. Malevolent ruling elites around the globe will be watching with great interest the reaction of the overwhelming majority (95%) of Australians that oppose all draconian censorship IMPOSITIONS; it should also be noted that the Rudd government received NO MANDATE from the PEOPLE to impose mandatory anything let alone unwanted information controls; but of course democracy today has degenerated into a charade behind which nefarious elites control governments!
