  Indonesian Pres. offers no apology to Timor-Leste posted by luis, 2008-07-15 09:46:25
The longsuffering people of Timor-Leste received no apology today after an inquiry revealed that the Indonesian military and Indonesian security forces were responsible for committing and inciting murder, rape and torture in Timor-Leste in 1999. Approximately fifteen hundred Timorese were murdered by militias and an indeterminate number were raped and tortured after militias went on a rampage killing and destroying crucial infrastructure in East Timor!

 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)

 Oz PM, Rudd, constantly evading major issues/responsibilities posted by fish, 2008-07-10 22:04:58
Whenever critical issues face the nation the Australian public can count on Rudd running from them as fast as he can. Where is Rudd when the nation requires REAL leadership and decisive action, in bloody Malaysia evading his responsibilities? (full story)

Lying Rodent criticises Bereft Twerp posted by dingo, 2008-07-09 06:28:34
I don’t mind giving the piss a nudge on occasion but no matter how much I drink, smoke, or pop – THE FACT REMAINS, JOHN HOWARD IS A WAR CRIMINAL! The former Oz PM, coward and lackey has been misinformed if he thinks it’s safe returning to Oz. Howard brazenly launched into Rudd not realising the soft ground he treads. But at least he does the nation a service by demonstrating the utter lack of spine the current PM displays. (full story)

Police State tactics adopted by former ‘Liberal Democracies’ posted by nano, 2008-07-09 03:35:53
It was with alarm that I first witnessed police state tactics in AUSTRALIA at the last APEC summit held in Sydney. Never before had laid back Australian society been exposed to such tactics. Australia’s first exposure to implacable storm troopers and new draconian laws had the anticipated effect; protesters and ordinary demonstrators were shocked into submission and docility. The NSW Premier, Morris ‘il duce’ Iemma, couldn’t have been happier, he was the first Premier to use such heavy handed tactics on citizens; he had done his blackshirt ancestors proud. Segments of the Italian and conservative Anglo communities lauded our own little, il duce. The ‘Labor’ premier even received praise from the arch-conservative PM, John Howard, who was quick to announce his total support for Iemma’s harsh police tactics. (full story)

Not funny, ‘Merika! posted by quill, 2008-07-08 23:28:03
Every nation has its extremists, nutcases and demented morons; they are usually secreted away in appropriate social spaces designed to deal with the mentally unbalanced. However, in America and the Middle East homicidal maniacs and demented buffoons rise to become leaders of nations. (full story)

Insane U.S. gearing up for all-out WAR posted by finn, 2008-07-07 11:54:31
Let’s not kid ourselves any longer; the psychopathic Bush regime leaves no doubt as to its intentions; it continues to encircle and provoke Russia and China into a confrontation. Bush, in typical American delusory fashion, believes he can deliver a knockout blow and take the prize – impossible, but in a sense Bush has no other choice. (full story and 4 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)

Australia has no better ‘friend’ than Sarin Gas America posted by nano, 2008-07-06 00:13:57
‘Shit floats,’ but for those with bourgeois sensibilities, the truth always surfaces. However, we need a suitable context to emphasise the point and what better context than the behaviour of the current and previous slaves to America, Prime Ministers Kevin Rudd and John Howard! We hope the issue of America’s true attitude to Australia – and the world -- will be clarified once and for ALL! Satisfaction guaranteed for patriot Aussies and cringing colonialists alike!

 Civilian death toll – unacceptable/indictable! posted by yarra, 2008-07-04 23:38:33
AFGHANISTAN -- "US-led air raid kills 22 civilians", Reuters UK reports on July 4. We need not go into detail, as it’s now a very familiar story. Whether it’s from unmanned drones, long distance artillery or missile attacks the result is all too familiar. The U.S. today is able to boast humanitarian offences and war crimes that dwarf the numbers achieved by African and Asian despots in the past. (full story and 1 comments)

OIL, now $145 but tipped to reach $200 posted by budgie, 2008-07-04 00:03:18
At a dinner George W Bush once described the ‘Barons’ of free market capitalism as the “have mores,” as distinct from ‘the haves’ and ‘have nots.’ He sure got that right! With oil set to reach $200 a barrel the ‘have mores’ are acquiring EVER MORE wealth at a pace and in amounts hitherto unimaginable, even at the time dubya made his infamous remark. (full story)

 Political distraction: Pope’s visit an excuse! posted by barra, 2008-07-01 23:37:40
This story is laden with layers of meaning and secondary discourses. Regrettably, space constraints limit us (not you) to only a few aspects of analysis. In view of publishing constraints and in an effort to info cram, we may at times appear to veer tangentially; however, astute readers should have no difficulty making thematic and other meaningful connections!

Infighting highlights the FRAUD that is Christianity posted by fish, 2008-06-30 20:23:50
Regardless of social activity/institution we can count of conservatives to really disrupt and destroy. The Anglican Church is the latest example of conservatives creating schisms that promise to further weaken the Church. Well done, Dr Peter ‘arch-conservative’ Jensen and other Paulinist Archbishops of the destabilising FOCA faction! I would remind conservatives that Paul of the Epistles is NOT the Saviour; that position has always rested with Jesus of Nazareth. Paul saves no one; perhaps he even leads people to their ruin!

The Lobotomised American by Grey Greene posted by quill, 2008-06-30 00:18:54
Complete with exotic oriental women, opium pipes, loaded with treble-refined of course, and a cushy job as a foreign correspondent, which enables access to most political functions and dignitaries – I could be about to blow the lid, gentlemen! ‘Espionage,’ a very outmoded term these days, ‘we’ all prefer the more modern appellation of ‘analyst’ or ‘commentator’, hilarious!

 Kosovo: Serbs inaugurate regional parliament posted by zoran, 2008-06-28 22:18:19
MITROVICA -- Serbs affirmed their rights over SOVEREIGN territories Saturday by inaugurating the (AUMAPK) Assembly of the Union of Municipalities of the Autonomous Province of Kosovo. The LEGAL declaration by Serbia was immediately denounced as ‘illegal’ by the UN and the secessionist Albanian playschool ‘government’ of ‘Kosova!’ (full story)
