  Oz Senator Nick Xenophon in custody in Malaysia over unofficial visit with anti-government elements posted by David Penberthy and Brad Crouch via sal, 2013-02-15 21:44:39
Inept Oz politicians running errands for Washington can always be relied upon to blow it one way or another. This latest embarrassing situation has exposed attempts by lackey Oz politicians to interfere in Malaysia's impending elections. Please read the following comically biased media report from CFR Murdoch sources to appreciate the planned interference. One can only wonder which nation represents the 'democracy' constantly referred to in the story -- perhaps it is the 'democratic' totalitarian, indefinite detention, kill list, police state U.S. model we should all emulate and impose on other nations!

Obama's Secret Killing Court posted by Judge Andrew P. Napolitano via clark, 2013-02-15 07:17:12
President Obama willingly admits he dispatched CIA agents to kill an American and his teenage son and the son's American friend while they were in a desert in Yemen in 2011. He says he did so because the adult had encouraged folks to wage war on the United States and the children were just "collateral damage." He says further that he'll do this again when he is convinced that killing Americans will keep America safe. He says he knows the adult encouraged evil, and his encouragement caused the deaths of innocents. The adult was never charged with a crime or indicted by a grand jury; he was just targeted for death by the president himself and executed by a CIA drone. (full story)

 State of Delusion Address: Rebuilding America With War Crimes posted by Finian Cunningham via neal, 2013-02-13 09:06:45
From beginning to end, Barack Obama’s State of the Union speech was replete with delusion and falsifications. His promise of building an “America that lasts” was predicated on a sentimental, but utterly disingenuous notion of selfless teamwork. The invocation of American military “heroes” and their “achievements” during nine years of waging war on Iraq as an exemplar of how to salvage his nation from economic and social catastrophe was both sickening and laughable.

 Mystery porn bug confounds Google posted by Asher Moses via tpee, 2013-02-12 05:03:41
It is no secret that only fifth-rate hackers work for BiG Brother Corporations such as Google. First rate hackers work for Democracy, Free speech and Liberty. Now, extrapolate this minor 'anomaly' which Google dunces are unable to remedy and consider more sophisticated attacks of this nature that would cripple Google -- a mega-corporation which falsely imagines, as market leader, it can do as it pleases and simply buy its way out of trouble as it has recently done with the US anti-trust regulator. Google also forgets how it got to where it is today! You reading this Schmidt, you reprehensible deviant? Read on and weep into the future. (full story)
