  Oz Minister Reveals Disturbed 'Megalo' Predisposition posted by Simon Black via ziggy, 2012-09-28 01:54:23
In a clearly pathological outburst, communications minister, 'too long in the job,' Stephen Conroy, formerly 'censorship' minister in the Rudd government and skiing partner to media magnate Kerry Stokes, has publicly stated he has "unfettered legal power;" perhaps, but to be sure, that power does not extend past his own (diseased) mind.

 Perversity USA posted by jo, 2012-09-26 12:19:12
Consider a nation accused of heinous war crimes placing the man who exposed those war crimes to the world, on trial. No matter how you look at it, it remains an inverted logic and a monumental attack on reason and justice. Of course I refer to the Bradley Manning case. (full story)

The AFP and State police have made known their desire for Telcos and other communications companies to retain ALL data indefinitely -- I mean why work for a living when you can appeal to government to legislate and force others to do YOUR job for you. (full story)

Australian General tells Truth on Afghanistan posted by mitch, 2012-09-24 04:08:15
Australian military command became hard realists after the British sacrificed Aussie troops in droves at the ill-planned Gallipoli landing during WWI. Since then we have avoided, as best we could, allowing any foreign command in allied combat situations to unnecessarily jeopardise our fighting forces. And in that regard Oz command has been extremely successful until the likes of Washington lackeys, Howard, Rudd and Gillard, forced us into disastrous, dishonourable and illegal American wars.

Gaza and the American Ideology of Perpetual War posted by mick, 2012-09-24 00:07:09
Before the masses get thoroughly intoxicated on the 'attack Iran' propaganda and vile LIES of the CFR/corporate controlled mass media, try an remember previous attempts at the, 'give war a chance,' neo-con philosophy. It is incriminating history today that neo-con psychopaths Condoleezza Rice and John Bolton actually promoted the Israeli attacks on the Gaza strip when it was in their power to prevent the slaughter of children and other innocents.

 The Obama Selection (Plant) posted by Jill Dalton via jen, 2012-09-21 11:52:46
I believe Barack Obama was put into office to do what no Republican could ever have gotten away with. Obama has extended existing wars, created new Drone wars, extended the Bush tax cuts for the rich, given additional bailout money to the Banks, allowed the health insurance industry to write the healthcare bill, extended the Patriot Act and signed the NDAA [indefinite detention] into law.

Wherever there’s somebody fightin’ for a place to stand .. Or decent job or a helpin’ hand .. Wherever somebody’s strugglin’ to be free .. Look in their eyes, Mom, you’ll see me.” (full story)

  Romney's honest remarks do the people a service posted by judd, 2012-09-20 10:40:41
Let's not kid ourselves, Romney's contemptuous regard and brutal attitude for average people is not a surprise. His negative references to half the population as "filthy beggars, garbage pickers and uneducated, loathsome scum,” is shared by the rich all over the world, notwithstanding it betrays a certain dissociative response. Romney's contempt for average people is typical of his insular class; it is insignificant that millions of innocent people perish as a direct consequence of Transnational Corporations pursuing profits. We should thank Mr Romney for closing the door on denial; all doubts regarding our 'loathsome' and expendable status have been removed. Romney's indiscretions may yet become society's salvation!
