  Clean feed filtered out posted by Mitchell Bingemann via liberty, 2009-03-03 07:33:01
Mandatory information censorship is a suicide pill for any Oz government but none swallowed it more effectively than Rudd's Murdoch controlled Lay-bore government of bereft incompetents. And Stephen Conroy takes 'star' billing as incompetent #1. Peter 'backflip' Garrett whose anti-uranium stance had all the integrity of a chameleon in a paint shop, is ecstatic that Conroy has taken the albatross from around his neck. (full story)

 The fix is in: Oz mandatory internet filtering posted by Kismo, 2009-02-12 23:30:46
Corporate errand boy and Oz Communications Minister, Stephen Conroy, has selected a group of minor (compliant) ISPs (see link) to conduct his INFORMATION CENSORSHIP tests. Telstra, iinet and Optus, by far the three largest carriers in the country, have ‘somehow’ been excluded from the tests, which would throw into question any results obtained with non-representative carriers – it’s a MATTER OF SCALE, stupid!

 Open invitation: Are YOU able to wage 7th generation warfare? posted by Yigal Schleifer via quill, 2009-01-24 22:30:25
[Why swallow the preposterous propaganda that emanates from America and its allies? Do not count yourselves among banjo-playing, mindless American morons that actually believe Obama represents real change. DO NOT BE A VICTIM of events, SHAPE events and wage digital warfare on the net against the nefarious forces that seek only to enslave and deceive the FREE WORLD!
OUR VICTORY IS ASSURED; do not remain passive. Be an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT in THE PUSH FOR JUSTICE and REAL DEMOCRACY. Write and video events for the world! We invite YOU to contribute as do all other INDEPENDENT SITES. Be a part of the SOLUTION not part of the moronic, PASSIVE, problem! Ed.] (full story and 2 comments)

Obama and Washington Mythmaking posted by Robert Parry via reed, 2008-12-19 20:31:42
Over the years, Washington has evolved into a city of deceptions where semantics cloud reality and where a hazy mix of lies, half-truths and mythology can combine to unleash the devastating military might of the United States for no good reason. Indeed, if there were to be a serious effort to "change the mindset" that got the United States into the Iraq War - as Barack Obama has promised - one place to start would be to force Official Washington to take a long hard look in the mirror.

 Internet Censorship in Oz bashed by dominant Telco posted by quill, 2008-12-05 22:04:36
It is becoming abundantly clear to every Australian that the Rudd Labor Government hasn’t a clue. After one year in office the PM, Kevin ‘07’ (Dud) and his pack of no-hoper ministers have demonstrated their collective inability to deal with the major issues confronting the nation; not least of which is upgrading the archaic broadband network -- known to be a liability on all users, especially the business, medical, scientific and agricultural/rural communities.

 Google's next step towards domination of the Information Age posted by Nicholas Pullen via quill, 2008-11-27 19:46:34
[Numerous posts to this site (input google in search box) warned very early of Google's intention to monopolise ALL available data. The mass media has as usual been extremely sluggish in reporting real threats to our democracies and freedoms. However, perhaps from fear of its own future relevance, if Google succeeds with its plans, the mass media now reports on the Corporation that is without doubt the greatest threat to free thought and liberty in the world today.

The Sickest News of the Day: Obama’s White House puppy posted by gan, 2008-11-16 23:19:20
The Associated Press is running yet another story on the now notorious “Pet Sematary” White House puppy! Given the many crises and current instabilities around the globe, dwelling on trivia is bordering on criminal neglect. A previous article mentioned the obscenity of the American media and its obsession with trivial matters while people are being slaughtered DAILY by American forces and mindless remote-controlled UAV (drone) attacks!

 The Stasi down under – Oz democracy at risk with information restrictions posted by Kismo, 2008-11-16 00:57:32
The Murdoch-Rudd government of Australia is about to implement draconian censorship and information filtering measures on the internet, beginning ‘Christmas Eve’ – well timed, draco! Murdoch is more pissed off than most over the influence his media empire has had to concede to internet independents – bloody rabble! (full story)

 Censorship in the Western Media: What they Don't Want You to Know posted by Eric Sommer via quill, 2008-11-05 08:47:45
The Western media has recently outdone itself in censoring important stories - stories which contradict the policies and interests the media seeks to uphold.. Western publics have been systematically misled in recent weeks on vital issues related to war-and-peace, human rights, the financial crisis, and more. Only a few examples can be set out here. But it should be enough to indicate the extent to which world reality is being filtered by the media. (full story and 1 comments)

 Abe Saffron and the dance of the flaming arseholes posted by ernie, 2008-07-27 02:27:50
The title refers to a ‘stage act’ at one of Saffron’s clubs, The Venus Room, a venue that catered for Sydney’s working class Joes. The undisputed king of Sydney’s Entertainment Underworld not only catered for the knights of the realm, ‘sophisticates’ and closeted power brokers but to the common people; yes, Abe was a true Aussie egalitarian criminal who provided entertainment for everyone!

 Counter Intelligence Training posted by yarra, 2008-07-21 10:26:22
Sometimes it pays to inform your opponent directly rather than leading him by the nose or allowing him to believe he actually thought of something rather than act on the very subtle cues you placed in his brain. Great idea, why didn’t I think of that? Doh! (full story)

 A taste for the socially ‘aware’ posted by barra, 2008-07-13 00:24:28
Today, July 13, my news aggregator revealed a world of INANITIES in the mainstream press! After glancing at the featured content, I realised we, the masses, are completely LOST. It hit home (hard) that ‘pigs, dogs’ and incompetent buffoons rule the world because they actually REPRESENT the mindless, moronic MAJORITY – therein lies the formula/seeds of our destruction! The grim fate beckoning vacuum-heads beckons us ALL – I began to wish it was all a bad dream but it was worse, it was on TV! (full story and 3 comments)

Media Tactics posted by peptide, 2008-07-06 22:38:20
The most damning and potentially EXPLOSIVE news to hit Australia in decades is the revelation of planned U.S. Sarin nerve gas tests on Aussie troops in the 60’s. [The reader will note that the use of (nerve) gas ‘weapons’ was banned by international convention decades earlier!] (full story and 1 comments)
