 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.

Out of Sync with the masses of the world posted by quin, 2010-01-28 20:42:41
Predictably, the Corporatist mass media is desperately saturating the airwaves with a ‘new’ strategy to win an UNWINNABLE war in Afghanistan. Over 60 puppet political leaders met in London yesterday to demonstrate and make public a show of unity on extending the occupation/war in Afghanistan! The entire media exercise was designed to legitimise a continuing presence in South Asia and convince a very wary public that the ‘new strategy,’ of “re-integration” would work. However, the London charade was/is as transparent as a pair of whore’s knickers! (full story and 2 comments)

 The world’s leading civilian killing nation, AMERICA, admits DEFEAT in South Asia! posted by gan, 2010-01-27 08:40:57
Afghanistan promises to be the first of a series of defeats in store for mass murdering, criminal, BROKEN, America. Regardless of the badly camouflaged, face-saving talk of “re-integration,” ‘power sharing,’ with avowed enemies the Taliban, REALITY dictates America has been squarely DEFEATED!

 Stanley McChrystal admits defeat in soldier speak! posted by Captain, 2010-01-25 22:35:23
“After eight years of war” and facing INCREASING opposition in three South Asian nations, McChrystal changes tune and admits there may be a “role for the Taliban” in a future Afghan Government, dig that! The sworn enemy of the USA responsible for all the propaganda and lies disseminated by FOX news is now a negotiating partner -- excuse me while I roll on the floor laughing! (full story)

 The Iraq Holocaust and the American Farce posted by bagger, 2010-01-25 18:44:26
Figures over one million are sketchy but at least one million INNOCENT CIVILIANS have been killed as a DIRECT result of the ILLEGAL, pre-emptive, US-led INVASION of Iraq – based on LIES! STEADY as we go! Newswires today are ‘alive’ with reports of the execution in Iraq of Saddam’s cousin, ‘Chemical Ali,’ who is responsible for killing TENS of thousands of innocent Kurds – no disputing that estimate. According to American death penalty standards justice has been served in Iraq, RIGHT? The WORLD now waits IMPATIENTLY for the TRIAL of HOLOCAUST perpetrators Richard Cheney, George W Bush, Tony Blair, John Howard and their senior staff on charges of mass murder and other crimes against humanity – AND THERE IS NO ESCAPING THE FACTS!

 Tony Abbott has been HARNESSED posted by stan, 2010-01-24 09:10:31
The clearest indication that, all snarl and toothless bite, Tony Abbott has been made to heel is his failure to OPPOSE Kevin Rudd’s hugely UNPOPULAR Internet CENSORSHIP policy – a political opportunity gone begging! At this point a brief word from our snarling, biting, sponsor; YOU, Mr Abbott, are all growl and no substance, clearly you are too spineless to uphold your Party’s ideology of individual freedoms for FEAR of offending Rupert Murdoch’s censorship dictates to Kevin Rudd – pathetic!

Life Imitates Bad Sci-Fi Movie posted by fray, 2010-01-22 18:38:40
A completely servile US president is currently distracting the public with intimations of (Bank) reform while minority ruling ELITES pull off another MAJOR COUP – you dumb, anaesthetised, DISTRACTED fuck’s – no apologies! The US Supreme Court has just handed down a decision allowing ‘Corporate Entities’ the same rights under the First Amendment as living citizens; which effectively allows CORPORATISTS to buy government, and by extension, the LEGISLATIVE PROCESS or LAW! ‘Say goodbye to ‘Hollywood,’ nightmare fantasy has just become REALITY!

 Obama: ‘neither cold nor hot ..’ posted by fish, 2010-01-21 21:48:43
The title refers to a radical Christian text that almost didn’t make into the New Testament, I would add here that what is NEW and reformed makes redundant and OBSOLETE what is OLD, referring to Jewish teaching in the OLD Testament. In other words all direction and guidance for Christians is to be obtained from the New Testament, as is clearly indicated in Hebrews 8:13 -- but to the advice couched in REVELATION 3: 15-16.

WAR is IMMINENT posted by Ned, 2010-01-20 22:19:27
A lesson taken directly from that superb treatise, The Art of War, states that a weaker opponent defeats the stronger by exploiting (reversing) the enemy’s strengths while simultaneously exploiting its weaknesses, a lesson the US clearly failed to learn/heed! (full story)

 Anglo Aussies line harbour foreshore to catch a glimpse of ‘Royalty’ posted by morgan, 2010-01-19 22:42:19
In a scene reminiscent of the 50’s, Anglo-Aussies lined the Sydney harbour foreshore to get a glimpse of pommy Royalty; Republic anyone? In an extraordinary display of national infantilism and lack of identity, hundreds of vacuum-headed Australians, with no memory of the past or our early horrendous history, celebrated the appearance of a man directly descended from those responsible for inflicting so much grief and pain onto the Aborigines and early convict settlers!

 Survival needs dictate tactics for Somali 'pirates' posted by staff report via skip, 2010-01-17 22:14:33
The combined navies of the West and now China patrol pirate infested waters off the East coast of Africa but to no avail it seems. Tanker Captains have altered course to avoid capture yet desperate Somali fisherman, deprived of their traditional livelihood, have extended their range and have captured ships approximately 2K miles from the coast! A record ransom of $7m was recently paid for the release of the Greek flag tanker, Maran Centaurus! (full story)

 Three Criminal Puppet Presidents posted by stan, 2010-01-17 11:00:25
Three civilian killing, overtly criminal US Presidents have today formed a triumvirate of 'aid relief,' and what a gut-turning (fraudulent) sight they make! Regardless of the desperate attempts by the Corporatist mass media to portray these mass murderers as benevolent human beings, history and recent memory paints a very different, blood-drenched picture!
