 The [Obvious] New State Solution
Chris Hedges via gan, Wednesday, Nov 18 2009, 1:07pm
The collapse of the Palestinian Authority, the result of Israel’s 42-year refusal to implement a two-state solution, leaves the Palestinians no option but to unilaterally declare an independent state. Israel acted unilaterally when it announced independence in 1948. It is the Palestinians’ turn. It worked in Kosovo. It worked in Georgia. And it will work in Palestine. There are 192 member states in the United Nations and as many as 150 would recognize the state of Palestine, creating a diplomatic nightmare for Israel and its lonely ally the United States. Israel will face worldwide censure if it attempts to crush the independent state by force and very likely be subjected to the kind of divestment campaigns and boycotts that brought down the apartheid government of South Africa.

 The Audacity of Failure
Mike Whitney via ryall, Monday, Nov 16 2009, 10:34pm
Barack Obama is on his way to becoming a one-term president. According to Politico:
"President Barack Obama plans to announce in next year’s State of the Union address that he wants to focus extensively on cutting the federal deficit in 2010 – and will downplay other new domestic spending beyond jobs programs, according to top aides involved in the planning.
The president’s plan, which the officials said was under discussion before this month’s Democratic election setbacks, represents both a practical and a political calculation by this White House." (www.politico.com)

Getting rid of Rudd
finn, Thursday, Nov 12 2009, 12:59pm
Rupert Murdoch’s Australian Prime Minister, Kevin ‘border security’ Rudd, recently made a failed bid to divert media/public attention away from the complete shambles of his FAILED border security policies by making a surprise visit to disillusioned Aussie troops in occupied Afghanistan! However, media and public attention remained firmly fixed on Rudd and his weak-kneed Foreign Minister’s failed attempts to AVOID RESPONSIBILITY in the Tamil asylum seeker issue!

Barack O’Bilderberg (Update)

One year in office and we might as well call Barack Obama, George! Yes, it's business as usual for the world's leading civilian killing, plundering, torturing, kidnapping, criminal nation -- continuity we can REALLY believe in – give the man (lackey) a prize.

U.S. Spies Buy Stake in Firm That Monitors Blogs, Tweets
Noah Shachtman via Kismo, Wednesday, Oct 21 2009, 12:09pm
And they galloped to their doom blissfully unaware of the consequences of their apathy, narcissism and fear.
Oz police have been making arrests using social networking sites since their inception. They have often referred to these sites as the best thing since finger printing. And who are the desperate morons assisting BIG BROTHER?
The team 'affectionately' refers to these sites as 'Facefuck' and 'Myarse' -- good luck doodles, you'll need it!
The sorry joke is real data has replaced aliases and nicks -- the first rule of digital security has been broken! NEVER EVER divulge PERSONAL DETAILS to the world at large -- u brainless bovines!

Secret White House letter to G-20
Greg Palast via sal, Saturday, Sep 26 2009, 12:33pm
I still get a thrill whenever I get my hands on a confidential memo with "The White House, Washington" appearing on the letterhead. Even when—like the one I'm looking at now—it's about a snoozy topic: This week's G-20 summit.

Lies before the inevitable Fall
baz, Wednesday, Sep 16 2009, 11:55pm
This week’s events are big enough to warrant a short commentary. From Obama’s rancorous lies and disinformation to the pathetic Australian government’s inept and transparent bullshit regarding appropriating -- on Murdoch’s orders -- the national telecommunications infrastructure. ‘Poor’ Rupert is losing income hand over fist and is attempting to recover by taking control of the nation’s telecommunications infrastructure. He seeks to eliminate or control competition, prevent peer file transfers (movies and music) and introduce fees for accessing his internet ‘news’ services! Of course none of this can succeed without limiting, filtering or outright blocking other viable FREE news sites on the internet but in order to succeed he must control the infrastructure – isn’t that right, Communications Minister Conroy?

 Kevin Rudd, 'pathologically incapable!'
leafers, Saturday, Sep 12 2009, 1:01am
According to former “deputy sheriff” PM, John ‘aluminium tubing’ Howard, the current PM, Kevin ‘hair dryer' Rudd, is “pathologically incapable;” a description that few informed Australians could successfully counter! Indeed, Rudd is the champion, talentless, parochial bureaucrat, a genus known for its inability to think for itself and/or make real leadership decisions.

Not Good, America
harley, Sunday, Aug 30 2009, 3:30pm
Commentators constantly bemoan America’s new fascist direction and spend much time and MISPLACED energy writing reams and reams of material against the new AMERICAN FASCISM. This obsessive and linear endeavour has a very dangerous consequence; it has blinded the commentators and the people to the groundswell of discontent rapidly growing in nations that have not been SUBJECTED to the constant mis/disinformation characteristic of the American mass media.

The mind-numbed, volition-devoid MASSES
Joel S. Hirschhorn via nano, Tuesday, Aug 18 2009, 2:46pm
As we approach the eighth anniversary of 9/11 consider this paradox. In the post 9-11 years the scientific evidence for disbelieving the official government story has mounted incredibly. And the number of highly respected and credentialed professionals challenging the official story has similarly expanded. Yet, to the considerable disappointment of the international 9/11 truth movement, the objective fact is that there are no widespread, loud demands for a new government-backed 9/11 investigation. The 9/11 truth movement is the epitome of a marginalized movement, one that never goes away despite not achieving truly meaningful results, which in this case means replacing official lies with official truth. What has gone wrong?

ANONYMITY is POWER, you mindless morons!
Lee Harvey Osama Bin Oswald, Saturday, Aug 8 2009, 6:15pm
What does it take for some to see the nose on their face? Have you all fallen for the ‘fame game’ or the narcissistic ‘look at me, aren’t I wonderful’ syndrome -- so effectively SOLD to the masses by the western media! Have you not realised yet the IMMENSE POWER that resides in ANONYMITY? In today’s contractionist culture, anonymity is FREEDOM!

Oz Puppet leadership, but at what cost?
barra, Tuesday, Aug 4 2009, 5:53pm
In the wake of the Jakarta bombings and the MASSIVE FAILURE of Australian and US ‘intelligence agencies’ in detecting the OBVIOUS (see link) the Oz government has ‘pulled’ a desperate terrorist arrest and exaggerated a terrorist threat in order to appear as competent – the threat was allegedly to a MILITARY BASE on the outskirts of Sydney, a poorly 'chosen' target given the ABUNDANCE of high value ‘soft’ targets in capital cities!

David Irvine, the ‘new’ head of ASIO pulled his head out of his bureaucratic arse today just long enough to put his foot in his mouth! ‘Fresh’ from his post as ASIS chief, he has already displayed the calibre that locals have come to expect from their, “well planned event,” (Keelty) brain dead, security chiefs!

The End of the World as we know it!
quin, Saturday, Jul 25 2009, 3:49pm
At the most critical period of our very short history, instead of recovery, WE ARE CHARGING FULL SPEED TO OUR COLLECTIVE DESTRUCTION; it seems this (insane) pursuit is the best we can manage in the current circumstances – how utterly tragic!
WE need not have taken this course but the Cheney's, Obama's and all the other puppet ‘leaders,’ installed by Corporate/Bankster ruling minorities, have DECIDED FOR US; so WE, in ALL OUR COLLECTIVE 'WISDOM' AND limitless COMPLACENCY, allowed ourselves to be herded BY SELF-CONFESSED CRIMINALS, PSYCHOPATHS and ROGUES, baa’aa – give me a break!

Obama: More Polished Than the Last Puppet
Cindy Sheehan via rialator, Thursday, Jul 23 2009, 3:14pm
Okay, so the United States of America has had a new puppet regime for six months now. I was never so much into giving Obama a “chance” and I think it’s way past time to call Obama and his supporters out, like we called Bush and his supporters out. Our Presidents are merely puppets for the Robber Class and Obama is no exception.

Hillary Clinton pandering to CFR fogies in DENIAL
baz, Monday, Jul 20 2009, 3:25am
Hillary’s recent address to the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), a group primarily comprised of white-haired geriatrics pining for the good ol’ days, confirmed that regardless of whoever inhabits the White House, status quo policies continue without interference from puppet politicians! It’s business as usual for the mass murdering, plundering, rapacious, USA and the Corporatists that run it!

All Human Life is Precious, Mr. Rudd, you reprehensible HYPOCRITE!
fish, Sunday, Jul 19 2009, 5:03pm
In the wake of bomb attacks in Jakarta, which highlighted the OPERATIONAL FAILURE of Oz and US intelligence agencies (YET AGAIN) and resulted in NINE innocent deaths, our incompetent politicians are frantically engaged in distracting the public’s attention away from government derelictions of DUTY and RESPONSIBILITY to fruitless emotional responses; “.. the Australian government will leave no stone unturned in bringing to justice the perpetrators of this violent, barbaric act of murder,” stated Rudd with all the hypocritical, fake fervour he could muster! Now consider the fact that Rudd is aware of the identities of the Indonesian murderers of five innocent, unarmed, Australian journalists in East Timor! That awkward reality puts a REAL perspective on the situation, doesn’t it, mate!

Prior to launching into that INCOMPETENT IDIOT and COWARD, Stephen Smith, I remind the Oz public of this Minister’s debut on the international stage – YES, ‘kneepads,’ I refer to that extremely revealing press conference in Washington where Condi Rice openly mocked the GROVELLING Stephen Smith; Rice OPENLY LAUGHED at Smith AND by association AUSTRALIA! Smith squealed and whimpered all the while pledging his devotion and affirming Australia’s SLAVE STATUS to America.

Weak-kneed Oz politicians call on daddy America for help in China Rio Tinto 'crisis' – notwithstanding that REAL LEADERS could have EASILY handled the situation by going on the political/economic offensive without crying for DADDY America. SHAMELESS COWARDICE and INCOMPETENCE from Oz leaders, while the whole world is watching! Rudd now competes with Howard’s record of total INFANTILE SERVILITY and HELPLESSNESS, the shame of it all!
