 "Check Him Out" - ASIO tipped off 48 Hours Before Martin Place Siege posted by Samantha Maiden via lex, 2014-12-20 20:56:50
Tony Abbott will attempt to use the staged Martin Place siege to establish an oppressive, American style police State, a completely inappropriate response in Australia. It has been revealed that an anonymous caller urged ASIO to investigate Monis 48 hours prior to the attack, the caller urged authorities to read the latest posting on Monis' website, which authorities should have been monitoring in any case, but as has now become apparent ASIO agents were too busy attempting to locate their dicks to take a piss.

  The Real War is waged Underground posted by sinclair, 2014-12-20 09:47:59
While American defence corporations concentrate on the production of massive, cost-intensive traditional military hardware the real war is being waged asymmetrically with a minimum of financial expenditure by the forces now wreaking havoc on the United States of dream and denial. The USA is in fact hobbled by its greedy corporations intent only on short term profits at any cost, including ruining the nation, and as these corporations and banks have no national allegiances little remains to support the current status quo and the ideology of full spectrum bullshit. And on it goes, the singularly (profit) driven companies refuse to cease their highly profitable traditional arms and useless surveillance technology production, which are ineffectual for fighting the real war being waged as I write.

 No Hard Evidence that North Korea Hacked Sony posted by Kim Zetter via rees, 2014-12-19 09:23:49
I suppose it is to be expected that the mass murdering criminal bastards that control the USA are again pumping propaganda regarding a hack of the Sony corporation, an exercise no doubt to compromise and justify a possible future target. The informed are in 'yawn' territory, however, the Wired article is worth a read as it is one of the few specialised sources that explains to lay people that the US line is a media beat-up based on extremely weak real evidence.

 America: Australia's Dangerous Ally posted by Malcolm Fraser via darcy, 2014-12-18 09:15:26
It is time for Australia to end its strategic dependence on the United States. The relationship with America, which has long been regarded as beneficial, has now become dangerous to Australia’s future. We have effectively ceded to America the ability to decide when Australia goes to war. Even if America were the most perfect and benign power, this posture would still be incompatible with the integrity of Australia as a sovereign nation. It entails not simply deference but submission to Washington, an intolerable state of affairs for a country whose power and prosperity are increasing and whose national interests dictate that it enjoy amicable, not hostile, relations with its neighbors, including China.

Oz Gun laws and other Contractionist Policies: Ineffective posted by jess, 2014-12-17 20:43:13
A pro-gun Australian senator claims that our gun laws have created a nation of victims -- not so, as respondent, war criminal and mass murderer, John Howard, is well aware. Howard emerged from his hole to defend his policy of disarming all Australians except of course those that wish to obtain a weapon by any means available -- regulators have recently proven they are essentially ineffective in controlling the underground trade in firearms.

We Fight and Resist because we Must posted by zed, 2014-12-17 10:13:47

 Sydney Hostage Crisis Reeks -- UPDATE, SIEGE ENDS posted by jake, 2014-12-14 20:35:54
A hostage crisis is unfolding in Sydney's CBD as I write, however, informed Australians would not forget the lies conservative PM John Howard told Australia regarding the criminal invasion of Iraq which was based on total FABRICATIONS and LIES. The SMH reports that the flag displayed on the cafe is not an ISIL flag, as they are difficult to obtain. It is also known that real extremist jihadists do not take hostages in similar circumstances, they act immediately according to ISIL instructions making a bloody statement, they also pursue martyrdom, notwithstanding that the Oz Islamic community has ample disillusioned youth and numerous 'useful idiots' in its ranks.

 Duplicitous Abbott promised more jobs but Creates more Unemployment posted by stan, 2014-12-12 21:10:46
The entire nation is now aware that Abbott does the exact opposite of what he promises, hypocrite is too mild a term for that fraudulent scoundrel, his finance minister today announced that the government will take the axe to the public service sector, hundreds, if not thousands of jobs will go. But what does Abbott care, people are only numbers to him? (full story)

 A Measure of the Rapid Social Decline of America posted by darcy, 2014-12-12 00:12:49
Former disgraced president, Richard Nixon, during an interview about his involvement in an illegal ‘break and enter,’ infamously replied “when the president does it, it’s legal!” That statement has gone down in the infamous hall of historical outrages. However, we should remember the social outrage Nixon’s appalling statement elicited among the American masses of the time -- enough outrage to force his resignation or face the inglorious process of impeachment. History records that Nixon died some years later in disgrace and obscurity. (full story)
