 Kill ‘em all doesn’t work it only breeds civil revolt and eventual freedom from oppression posted by zed, 2015-05-02 10:31:20
Gandhi broke the back of empire with passive resistance but resist Indians did in no uncertain and very brave terms, unarmed and sworn to peaceful protest they were slaughtered in the thousands until they cast off the chains of imperial oppression and exploitation. America has been indiscriminately killing civilians since Vietnam and so it will reap the same result – how could any sane ruling elite hope to persist in the grossly unfair and murderous world they created in order to loot, pillage and steal everything of any value – insanity pure and simple?

  Abbott Already Betraying Oz Integrity and Bending over Forwards to Barbaric Indonesia posted by jake, 2015-05-02 02:32:50
Abbott has proven at the G20 that he is incapable of a statesman’s stance in international relations, only days after the abhorrent treatment that was contemptuously designed to insult and belittle Australian politicians, notwithstanding the supremely cruel and tortuous effect it had on the executed young men prior to their political executions and their families throughout the entire unnecessarily horrific ordeal, Abbott a now known supreme COWARD and INCOMPETENT, is bending over forwards and offering his arse to the ignorant and primitive Indonesians who, let’s face it, detest Australians.

 Utter Contempt – Widodo shits in Abbott’s Face AGAIN! posted by darcy, 2015-05-01 10:51:25
Tony Abbott, Australia’s ‘fearless’ leader should now be accustomed to wearing an Indonesian turd on his face, this is the second time ignorant, schoolboy populist politician Widodo has dumped on Abbott’s face. The cruel, barbaric and completely inhumane treatment that Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran and their distraught families received throughout their ordeal extended right up to the point of the firing squad, where only the two Australian nationals facing execution were initially denied the right to receive comfort from their chosen religious representatives. The primitive message was loud and clear, fuck you Australia and your spineless, lackey political leaders. (full story)

The Super Rich and Us posted by val, 2015-04-30 09:33:19
This BBC documentary series focuses on the huge disparity in wealth that exists today and how the 1% have made it happen -- essentially by lying to the public via their corporate mass media and controlling today's gutless and incompetent puppet politicians, which result is not to be unexpected from avaricious manipulating people. The problem of course rests with the masses that continue to passively accept the rapid decline in their quality of life and the media propaganda bullshit of professional liars and cheats.

 AFP ‘Throws Off’ onto Government over Executions – a not so subtle Message posted by jess, 2015-04-29 23:35:28
The AFP is under considerable pressure, and rightly so, for surrendering Aussie citizens to a clearly barbaric nation that applies the death penalty for drug offences. The AFP’s reputation is in tatters and will remain so for a considerable time to come or until there is a complete purging of the incompetent imbeciles that are responsible for the Bali Nine debacle, this would apply to serving and former members, particularly former chief and Howard lackey, Mick Keelty, who has a lot to answer for.

 Abbott's Untouchables -- the 55 Oz millionaires that paid NO Tax posted by Peter Martin via gail, 2015-04-29 03:38:23
Fifty-five of Australia's highest earners paid no income tax at all during 2012-13, not even the Medicare levy. All earning at least $1 million, they managed to write their taxable incomes down to below the $18,200 tax-free threshold. (full story)

 Mick Keelty and John Howard Responsible for Executions posted by darcy, 2015-04-28 11:40:21
Former AFP chief Mick ‘drunken dropkick’ Keelty, and former PM, suck-arse,‘yez boss America,’ John Howard, are directly responsible, whether they accept it or not, for the imminent execution deaths – now only an hour away -- of two young and reformed Australian drug couriers that were knowingly surrendered to a nation that applies the death penalty for drug trafficking. That act in itself contravenes Australian policy never to surrender any citizen or person, inclusive of refugees, to nations that would apply barbaric, medieval punitive measures in the modern civilised world.

To Wage Perpetual War posted by cyd, 2015-04-27 05:56:43
Whether by design, sheer stupidity or unbridled avarice (all three most likely) perpetual war is fact today and it is waged for the benefit of the elite few and their corporations/banks whose coffers overflow on the blood of millions of innocents with every pre-planned and engineered conflict.

 Listen, Australia! posted by baz, 2015-04-26 12:04:38
I’m a bloody Aussie and not so proud to announce it; my nation is allied to a nation that legalised torture, government murders, indefinite detention without charge or trial and compiles ‘kill lists’ in secret in order to murder its own citizens, especially those that oppose its criminal actions – these acts alone earn America the status of pariah nation, but it gets far worse for Australia, whose knee-walking servile government complies with every request that star-spangled murdering America makes to Oz (usually to participate in its crimes).

Globalisation – a One-Sided Corporate Affair posted by janice, 2015-04-26 09:33:34
Has the penny dropped yet? The term globalisation is a pervasive term yet the reality is only a tiny minority benefit most from what they created and termed ‘globalisation.’ For instance, mega-corporations, transnationals and large banks not only exploit the underpaid in the undeveloped world they also utilise globalised tax avoidance structures to shift profits stolen from the nations they exploit and move them off-shore to tax havens and pay little or no tax to the nations where the profits were extracted – I may also add that profit is theft pure and simple, as some entity -- usually workers and consumers – are always short-changed or ripped off in order for profit to exist.

ANZAC Myth and ANZAC Reality posted by Prof. Tim Anderson via dale, 2015-04-25 09:07:54
Prior to Prof. Anderson's article it is necessary to set the record straight regarding white heroism fighting the Ottoman Turks. Foremost is trashing the myth of white only colonial boys fighting for a thoroughly inept British command and paying the ultimate price for Australia's lack of a national sovereign identity. The landing at Gallipoli cove surrounded by fully fortified and prepared Turkish positions entrenched on the high ground is the ultimate military folly one that any commander going back to Spartan times would have avoided, but not so servile Australia whose foolish officers and easily led boys died for no good reason. But that is another issue that myth will no doubt obscure. (full story)

Two Undeclared Wars that Threaten Humanity posted by nano, 2015-04-25 07:52:14
The first is corporate induced climate change, which threatens almost all life on the planet and the second is pan-surveillance and the rise of police states in former democratic nations. (full story)
