 The Bleating Bush posted by peptide, 2006-04-25 17:40:53
Bush has responded to recent bombings in Egypt with a finger pounding demonstration of determined imbecility; he once again identifies “the enemy” as singular, implying a centralised terrorist group. If the USA had any credible intelligence they would know that the ‘enemy’ is in fact many separate and spontaneously occurring cells rather than a fixed hierarchical centralised group. Misinformation could be another reason the USA is failing in Iraq! US troops are unable to locate the “enemy” to which Bush and his administration continually refers – we should not forget that Rumsfeld briefs Bush on these matters. (full story)

  A Convoy of Fools: The moronic masses posted by dingo, 2006-04-22 09:50:52
The title would suggest that the writer is not attempting to ingratiate self with the readership; to remove any lingering doubts in that regard you can go fuck yourself or any other member of your immediate family, OK! I’m happy to leave persuasive discourse to the theological, political and capital oriented propagandists. (full story and 4 comments)

Doctrinaire Ideologues: Relics of the Past posted by nano, 2006-04-17 07:40:59
It is the overwhelming masses of China that will assert their primacy over minority government and then spill across borders into surrounding regions. Existing maps of Asia and Europe will become redundant overnight. People across the globe will be spurred into action as they drag their corrupt leaders from their lairs to face the quick judgement of the people. Bunkers deep in mountains, designed to harbour criminal elites in times of devastation, have only a finite supply of resources. The inhabitants can only postpone the inevitable; justice is patient.

Easter Message 2006 posted by finch, 2006-04-15 13:40:39
Irrespective of the particular religious hypocrisy to which believers may subscribe, the Christian period of Easter occupies centre stage at present; it’s hypocrisy time for modern Christians and in particular their leaders. It’s time (in the face of war, famine, injustice, pollution, inequity etc) to hear from the normally disengaged leaders of the various Christian sects and churches. It is show time but not action time for the hypocrites that lead their congregations by example – practical commitment to the principles of their faith is sorely lacking. (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)

Theologica Evangelica posted by finch, 2006-04-03 15:30:19
A news report on April 3, stated that U.S. Evangelicals, numbering approximately thirty five million, are considering withdrawing their support from the Bush government; the failure in Iraq was cited as the principal reason. It seems incredible that thirty five million people deliberated over a previous decision to support Bush only to arrive at a diametrically opposite view today. In any religious organisation it is the few who decide for the many, a handful of people are making all the policy decisions and exercising a degree of influence as a result. Their power stems from the fact that the congregation conforms and does as it is directed. (full story and 1 comments)

Oz visit: A Dose of U.S. Delusion from Rice posted by Kingfisher, 2006-03-16 12:42:59
Australia experienced a dose of Americana in the form of a visit from (divorced from reality) Condoleezza Rice, who maintains that Iraq is in a better position today than prior to the US invasion! The whole world is aware of the absolute DEBACLE that is Iraq and the ridiculous claims that were made prior to the invasion and now the absurd excuses from Wolfowitz, Rice and others, that everything will turn out fine in the end. Fairytale explanations do not ‘cut it’ outside the USA, Ms. Rice, what future or ‘end’ did you have in mind? The whole world is aware that you are ‘winging it’ or improvising as you go! But it’s a damn shame that kids and other innocents are dying while you and your criminally inept government lie and deceive. (full story and 1 comments)

Anachronism visits Australia posted by finch, 2006-03-12 02:45:29
Two high profile women visit Oz, an anachronism and a modern evolutionary equivalent, the Queen of England, Lizzy, and the US Secretary of State, Condy. The Australian cringe faces the focus of its pathological fears of independence. India, Pakistan and numerous tiny island ex-colonial nations have become independent but to Australia’s great shame it is yet unable to assert its full independence. Instead it has played its psychosis like an octave and transposed its complex to daddy America – chunder! (full story and 2 comments)

 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)

Austria, Hitler and Howard’s Australia posted by nano, 2006-02-26 14:38:01
Pauline Hanson recently announced on news radio that her political views have been “vindicated”; she cited the overt racist attitudes of John Howard and Peter Costello as proof of her claim. Who could deny it? Hanson’s imprisonment on trumped-up charges was an act of political assassination instigated by Howard but executed by his then errand boy, Tony Abbott. Hanson’s trial and subsequent imprisonment effectively eliminated her and her party from the Australian political landscape; mainstream racist ideology was re-established in its rightful home, the white Australian conservative ultra-right Liberal Party of Howard! The world watches Australia take a giant leap backwards as Howard continues to divide the nation. (full story and 1 comments)

Compromised US Military Considers Nuclear Option posted by peptide, 2006-02-21 16:21:47
Arab fighters and insurgents have demonstrated to the world that the US is a ‘superpower’ in name only. A poorly armed and trained but highly motivated and dedicated band of fighters has exposed the US military as weak, inept, unskilled, brutal and bereft. From South America to the Himalayas, resistance against capitalist plunder and exploitation signals the inevitable failure of militaristic capitalism. Regardless of all other considerations people today have confirmed that they will fight any aggressor who threatens their homes, families and way of life. (full story)

Fields of Battle posted by furlong, 2006-02-09 13:41:51
Faced with the undeniable and now unavoidable truth of the criminality of the Bush, Blair and Howard governments, what do you suppose are the consequences for these men? People are fined for parking and littering offences but murder and plunder on an international level incurs no penalty it would seem. [The ICC is a puppet court, an institution with zero credibility.] Is the lack of legal and public response surprising? Advice from leading consultants and ‘people managers’ was/is unanimous; once a decision is acted upon by a government and a nation is committed to a particular course, the people are swept along regardless of compromising evidence released during or after the event.

 Religion as Social Liability posted by finch, 2006-02-02 13:48:05
The recent religious furore over certain (cartoon) publications in the secular press unambiguously identifies ‘religion’ as little more than cheap politics; or put in simpler more accurate terms; religion is the politics of the mentally deficient. Consider the possibility of an infinite creator/God and the arrogance of those who actually think or imagine they or any other finite being could possibly pollute, insult or deface that God. A characteristic of Godhead is IMMUTABILITY! Rationalists would refer to the basic logic of the inability of the finite to apprehend the infinite (God); the two states are mutually exclusive. But it is obvious that ‘God’ is as far removed from the present issue as day is from night. (full story and 1 comments)

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)
