  Colons, Polyps and Cognisance posted by zebra, 2007-07-21 00:27:05
George W Bush finally formalised his relationship with Cheney and acknowledged him as the true President prior to entering hospital for a colonoscopy. Doctors were surprised to discover that one of the polyps removed from Bush’s rectum turned out to be his brain. Surgeons were astonished to learn that a tiny polyp-sized brain could function in the human rectum – a fact that didn’t surprise the public! (full story)

 Howard: too familiar and contemptible posted by subterranean zeppelin, 2007-07-20 17:33:47
The extraordinary Haneef fiasco highlights the increasingly desperate tactics Howard is willing to employ to save the un-savable. Everyone, whether Lib or Lab is sick of Howard. But there’s no stopping our home grown lying little war criminal, Johnny! If he takes a greater risk than victimising/scapegoating Haneef, whatever scurrilous action he dreams up, it could well land him and other involved conservatives in the dock or land his entire party so far into the political wilderness that a blacktracker wouldn’t be able to find it!

 Racist Howard government Exposed posted by nano, 2007-07-19 14:17:14
It appears the Australian Howard government has utilised an Indian medical doctor as a scapegoat for purely political purposes. New information contradicting ‘evidence’ supplied by the crown prosecutor regarding the exact location of the discovery of Dr. Haneef’s SIM card -- upon which the crown bases its entire case -- clearly exposes an appalling fabrication, beat-up and collusion. It seems that government ministers and high ranking public servants are involved in a sordid strategy designed to enhance Howard’s re-election prospects – which are now diminishing by the minute!

The Australian Dilemma posted by dingo, 2007-07-18 13:37:49
Australian citizens face a national election later this year and few are happy with the available choices. The two party adversarial system has resulted in two disliked candidates, one a war criminal, racist, pathological liar, despicable coward and servile corporate US lackey, the other a nothing, a zero with no ideological platform or defined identity – a non-specific turd!

 Sydney’s “Go (and get fucked) Bag!” posted by barra, 2007-07-16 12:52:45
It is rare that a politician expresses the true sentiments of the population but the Deputy Lord Mayor of Sydney, Chris Harris, has thrown political discretion to the wind and let the Mayor ‘have it’. The Mayor Clover Moore, during one of her ‘out of body experiences’ has returned to her tribe with a revelation that Sydney citizens should carry a “go bag” in the event of an emergency! The bag should contain articles such as sneakers for walking, a baseball cap for that quick game, a flash light and a toilet roll, I quote the consultant who advised the Mayor, “in the event of a toilet roll crisis!” (full story and 1 comments)

 Desperate losers deliver ‘low blow’ posted by finch, 2007-07-15 19:57:09
Howard government reveals true character in Haneef case. Immediately after a Queensland Magistrate rightly released terrorist suspect, Haneef, on bail – the prosecutor failed to establish any direct connection to terrorist activity -- the Howard government acting through the Minister for Immigration, Kevin Andrews, revoked his visa on (unproven) character grounds and transferred him to an immigration detention centre.

 Beat-up alert: Howard whips it up, whips it good posted by nano, 2007-07-14 17:57:05
John Howard, holocaust denier, mass murderer and Terrorist, by any definition of the term, is again banging his very battered and somewhat muted tin drum in a very transparent attempt to capture media attention. He is milking the UK bombings and the tenuous local connection for all its worth. Howard is a known master of the ‘front page grab’ and as expected, the compliant local media have taken the herring. Minimal analysis just Murdoch style hype and exaggeration and Howard the coward appearing as the ‘strong man.’ If the reader has any doubts regarding the compliance of the local media ask yourself how many times the media has taken Howard to task for his direct complicity in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of civilians in Iraq!

 Banana Accomplished posted by spoon, 2007-07-14 02:14:22
After years of listening to Bush make excuses for his murderous invasion and subsequent failure in Iraq I again took to the keyboard with the intention of detailing the reality of the world’s most denied holocaust. But it dawned on me that the problem was not really Bush or his neo-cons or any other member of the coalition of criminals and imbeciles – it is the apathetic population whose utter indifference has allowed the situation to deteriorate.

 The ‘Lone Wolf’ terrorist and a ‘Little Red’ faced absurdity posted by dingo, 2007-07-11 02:09:05
There comes a time when beat-ups, orchestrated lies, fabrications and plain incompetence converge to form the most ludicrous proposition imaginable. We recall the Saddam connection to Bin Laden, fantasy WMD, mobile anthrax labs, bouquets of flowers and open armed welcomes for invaders, breaking the back of the insurgency, mission accomplished, the inane poetry of Rumsfeld and various other mutterings from the loony tunes brigade OF CRIMINAL MASS MURDERERS. However, it seems the best is yet to come; the local chapter of the lobotomy squad, masquerading as an anti-terrorist force in Sydney has invented a new category of terrorist – the “lone wolf.” (full story)

 Beat-ups and panic grips Oz agencies as APEC approaches posted by yarra, 2007-07-10 00:36:40
The local conservative voice, the Bulletin magazine, has a cover beat-up that is worthy of the best and worst of Cheney’s lies and misrepresentations regarding Saddam and Al-Qaeda. Our outstanding security agencies have determined – all by themselves – that approximately (note the figures) “..22 to 25 .. [suspects] have evil intentions," brilliant! That figure is sure to instil confidence in the hearts of all grannies and Alzheimer's victims. Imagine, in a population of 21 million our skilled security buffoons have found 22-25 possibles – any statistician could tell you that is a definite under estimation in a population the size of Australia’s. I have personally heard numerous people in bars stating out loud that if Howard walked into the bar they would personally strangle him with their bare hands, such is the hatred felt by average Aussies for this racist, lying, war criminal.

 Mad dogs and Neocons posted by nano, 2007-07-09 12:36:01
What degree or level of madness must be reached before various regulatory forces act in the public interest? Mad dogs and neo-cons share similar levels of dissociation and the propensity to indiscriminately harm those around them. The euphemism bandied around by neocons for creating holocausts and humanitarian disasters is ‘regime change.’ In a recent interview, John Bolton referred to this term as a ‘solution’ to the Iranian dilemma; Bolton and his fellow neocons have no concept whatsoever of international relations, sovereignty and diplomacy. Bolton subscribes to simplistic and rustic, Wyatt Earp type ‘solutions’ – just blow them away! This comic book approach to reality perfectly demonstrates the criminally irresponsible actions of American neocons, unfortunately this approach doesn’t quite ‘cut it’ in the real world, AS IRAQ CLEARLY DEMONSTRATES – to even the dimmest mind!

Oz government Not schizophrenic over Iraq oil statements posted by barra, 2007-07-05 14:39:33
As the aging carrier USS K(Sh)itty Hawk made its way into Sydney Harbour, Oz defence minister Brendan 'studs' Nelson announced on national radio that oil was a major factor in Australia's (criminal) involvement in Iraq. Howard hoped this apparent rogue statement from one of his loyal minister’s would create political hysteria and grab headlines internationally and he was right! Setting the agenda and stealing the debate are well known tactics of Howard. Few possess the highly refined skills required to manipulate the local and international media to the extent that Howard does. (full story and 1 comments)

 Oz police capture terrorist’s shadow posted by chequer, 2007-07-03 14:42:41
Acting on information received from British authorities, internationally renowned for pumping 7 bullets into the head of an innocent Brazilian worker, the local chapter of the keystone cops has swung into action and arrested, detained, abused, intimidated and otherwise harassed a number of dark skinned Asian gentlemen who have been competently serving the nation during its medical crisis – a crisis resulting from incompetent government I might add.

A Matter of Justice or the Failure of Nations posted by nano, 2007-07-02 11:44:41
Press secretary for the Bush Whitehouse, Tony Snow, stated that Bush “has the ability to exercise his ‘own authority’ ..,” [my emphasis]. The comment was made in reference to a dispute in Congress and to presidential discretionary powers; however, what everybody is at pains to avoid is the nature of this “authority” in the US political system. Yes, the authority that is invested in the president is invested by the people through the democratic process; a president then becomes the representative voice of the people; and all things being equal – which they clearly are not – democracy continues in a healthy State! And therein lies the tale; the sickest democracy in the world today is the American ‘democracy.’ (full story and 1 comments)

 Oz Federal Cop targets Academic Inaccuracies posted by budgie, 2007-07-01 16:03:37
A study which cost Australian taxpayers $200,000 by way of an academic grant, was duly trounced as hysterical and misleading (inferred) by the good ‘horse sense’ of Federal Police Chief Mick Keelty. The study makes imaginative claims of local 'terrorist activity' and utilises abstract and ambiguous terminology such as, "ideological sleeper cells" – by definition everyone is an 'ideological sleeper' as we are all prone to change our minds at any given time.
