Oh yeah and before i forget:

This whole thing with North Korea (and Iran)....

The UN is a fucking joke on a dildo. Completely undermined at every turn by the US and it's slaves.

All this fucking dribble about non-prolifiration

WHAT A LOAD OF FUCKING HORSE SHIT!!!!!!

We need to be fearfull of the fucking UNITED STATES not fucking North korea..

WAKE UP!!!!!!


[align=justify] October 13, 1999, the US Senate decided not to ratify the CTBT. This drew condemnation from Bill Clinton and the White House Administration, environmental groups and other governments. The grounds for rejection (ignoring the bipartisan politics that some claim affected this decision) was that if the US ratified this treaty, it would not stop others trying to go nuclear and therefore the US should not ratify on the grounds of national security. The ironic thing is that many nations around the world feel threatened by recent US unilateral actions and are thus beginning to feel that they will need to procure weapons that are more dangerous to assure their own national security. If the U.S. reduced its aggressive postures then other nations perhaps would not feel as threatened -- instead they do and are arming themselves as a result.


With two new nuclear powers, India and Pakistan facing stability problems (such as another Pakistani coup and martial law) and conflicts along the Kashmiri border, the threat of using nuclear weapons is always increasing.

Incidentally, US leadership on this would have probably meant that China, India and Pakistan would have then ratified the treaty as well, because China and India mentioned they will ratify once the US does, and Pakistan would if India did. So, as this report mentions, the US is giving up leadership in nuclear disarmament.

Not only could this see an increase in nuclear arms races, but also conventional weapons, such as cruise missiles, as the Center for Defense Information reports.

Double standards are claimed by the two countries because they face tough economic sanctions when France and China, two members of the Security Council and of the "nuclear club", only received condemnation for their tests, but no sanctions.

There have been many criticisms of the nuclear powers not doing enough about their own nuclear weapons proliferation issues, while hypocritically enforcing other nations to cut back or avoid it.

India had made a very powerful statement via its nuclear tests regarding the fact that the country should no longer be ignored and that it is a legitimate Nuclear power and a possible consideration as a permanent Security Council member. It has been attempting to get a seat for a while now, and this could be a potentially important step forward.

Pakistan then would also have a case to be considered as a permanent Council member. If Pakistan were to also gain a seat, then would that suggest to the rest of the world that for its interests to be considered and for it to be as influential, that nuclear weapons are the way to go?

(The non-democratic nature of the Security Council is another topic, and many suggest that the United Nations should not have a Security Council, as the General Assembly is more inclusive. However, the former imperial powers (UK, France, Russia, and USA), do not want this privilege to be extended to everyone, as then it would no longer be an important privilege. Due to emerging powers in Asia, such as India and China, China could not be ignored and were permitted in. India now wants in too it would seem.)

So who's on the Council now and were are those double standards?

FACT: Australia is so pathetic in it's response it could only recite what the US State Deparment announced as a reaction.

WE HAVE A SPINELESS GUTLESS LYING WEAK AS FUCKING PISS foreign minister that forms part of a political culture that as an Australia I'm utterly ashamed off.

Do your jooo kids future a favour and inform yourselfs as to how you are been manipulated and SHIT on:

It's one of the most concept shattering experiences you will ever encouter, it's ALL on line and it's free to read.

Why is it free?

Because it's the truth and the truth is beyond monetary control.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/co ... 01442.html

I missed this story on our AUSTRALIAN media, did anyone get a glimpse of this story on our media, paper, radio or TV?

trange huh, you'd think it would at least feature for a few seconds as a cut-way after one of Howard's speeches... missed it but.. darn...


Good old GENOCIDE... gotta love that word when it translates into OIL.

So.... are we happy been Australian? Happy supporting all of the above? Can live with all that blood flowing into the sewers?

Well the ink hans't dried and the new media laws are already doing the bussiness.

One of the biggest media networks in Oz and quite influential, is now in the hands of FOREIGN PRIVATE INTEREST.

Kool....

Congratulations Mr Packer and Mr Howard. Stand tall as proud Australians.

That's our new media barons. A bunch of European, Asian and unclear American Investment Bankers.

They already own other companies in Australia like:

http://www.cvc.com/investments/view.aspx?id=143

Also have a few investmenst in betting and Gambling (So makes sense for Packer to bussiness with them) but mainly they own distribution of "Opiates for the massess" type industries like alcoholic beverages, gambling, food distribution, sugar confectionary and a shitload of building and supply industries.

They invest like Mcquarie bank, mainly in infastruction or the supply to. Giveing htemself a very wide security base. If one industry collapses, they fall back on many other types of industry and markets.

But the most obvious use of their new media, is to promote the products of ALL their other industries. Also there is the unclear agenda of the sub PBL Media Group, no doubt this will become more obvious in the future.

Australia is now been cocksucked into Nuclear power.

There is NO greenhouse problem. Said Howard for 12 years.


We have a GreenHouse problem says Howard 2 days ago.


Let's resolve the problem with NUCLEAR POWER.


3 Basic (Always here, never have been resolved, never a solution found for these 3 problems since the very first Nuclear Power plant.



1: IT IS NOT CHEAP. IT COST MORE THEN ALL OTHER ENERGY SOURCES COMBINED.

2: IT IS NOT SAFE. THE PLANT BREAKS DOWN LIKE HOLDEN's and FORD's.

3: THERE IS NO SAFE WAY OF DISPOSSING THE NUCLEAR WASTE. IT REMAINDS THE SINGLE BIGGEST PROBLEM WITH NO SOLUTION.

==================== Each of the points ABOVE is an irreputable FACT!!!!! No Alen Jones or Howard goon has neither the intelligence or the knowdlege of been able to argue any of the above 3 points. So they will try to convince you that those 3 points are NOT REAL. and therefore form no part of the NEED we have for Nuclear Energy.

Think long an hard were these people want to take us too. We are becoming one of the most dispicable democries on the planet. With a blatant disregard for human life and the enviroment.

Wake the fuck up!

And if you think this means money for our economy, money for Australia. money... money... money..

you really deserve everything that's coming to you.

In Sydney the ONLy newspaper that offers an alternative to Murdoch's shitrag "The Telegraph" is the Sdyney Morning Herald.

We had some sort of media diversity to a certain degree. The Telegraph is just pure shit. Racist, biggotted sports and sex and violence driven. It is one of the world's worst newspapers.

Sydney Morning Herald is by no means a world leader, but it did offer a counter point to the self-serving dribble from Murdoch.

Well thanks to Howard we now have the following:

Rupert Murdoch's News Corp has bought a 7.5 per cent strategic stake in newspaper publisher Fairfax Media for $360 million.

Goldman, which has an advisory role for Rupert Murdoch's News Corp, successfully acquired 69 million Fairfax shares as part of the deal, after contacting Fairfax's five key institutional shareholders.

Before the raid, News Corp reportedly owned six million Fairfax shares.
Goldman, which was unlikely to be acting for another party without Mr Murdoch's permission, assured the sellers there was no imminent takeover bid.


This is how it all begins, first a little bit, then Mambo N5, brass and all.

Goodbye journalism and goodbye freedom of speech. Hello HITLER.

++++++++++++++++++

How is it possible to have the following sceneraio:

Telegraph is owned by Murdoch

Sydney Morning Herald is now part owned by Mudorch.

There are no other newspaper for Sydney, local papers are crap, just full page ads for real Estate houses.

So what happens to the alternative viewpoint?

Murdoch told the UN and the World that tianim Square NEVER happend. His honesty was rewarded..... He got the Chinese Cable contract valued at over BILLIONS. This is the man that has 80% of the Drunken American population beliveing Iraq did 9/11.

This is one of the men, John Howard changes legislation for. It was changed for him and for Packer (So packer could make the PBl sale. Don't joos fucking get it?)

So the Federal Goverment changed legislation put in place by Hawke and Keating to stop us loosing our national media to international interest. Howard changed the legislation so Packer and Murdoch could reposition their media interest. This was not done for the benifit of Australians or Australian content.

Channel nine profits now belong overseas, how does this help our econnomy?

Tax payers now have to make up the shortfall of all that money going overseas.

I mean I'm at a loss here. Don't any of you see this?

You don't think it's cause for concern?

i want to tick the box that sez EXECUTE the farken LOT of em....but for some reason it dont matter WHAT you tick on the ballot because you dont KNOW where any of their loyalty lies.....a pack of kurntz the lot of em!

As Bush and Blair change positions on their murder war, Howard is left out in the cold of his own rhetoric. Gutless and without vision.

I would suggest to you Mr Howard that with all your previous conviction of the invasion that;

Australian Forces stay on in Iraq alone as the sole defenders of democracy.

That is your rhetoric Mr. Howard, I am following your logic for the last 5 years down to a T, word for word as they say.

And to be truthfull with you, just like none of your sons are in the military forces over in Iraq, neither are mine. Therefore I feel no loss or pain. But I do feel ever so patriotic for oue economy.

I was reading the Sydney Morning HErals the other day when a very interesting story by Ramsey caught my eye. (I don't particualry like Ramsey, he's all over the place at best, but this time he nailed.

Having wacthed the 7.30 report last Thursday I was awere of the show's cover story and the Howard interview that followed.

What struck me the most is Howard's reluctance to be drawn on the issue of the Civil War currently in Iraq and his insistance that a cut & run policy will make it worse and make us a bigger target for terrorrism.

Something wich i might add, never really existed in Australia, until that is, 9/11. No need to remind anyone that 9/11 is an American issue and we have no plight in it's resolution. What we do have plight in, is how and why Howard accepted ONLY one viewpoint, the Bush View, nothing else was considered, not even his own intelligence agency (ASIO)'s response was considered. The majority of Australians said no. THey were also ignored and needless to say the Labour, Greens and some Nationals were very vocal in not supporting the invasion.

So it was interesting readin of Ramsey's article.

In the studio, Howard first had to sit through a 10-minute clip of a BBC Newsnight commentary of a London Guardian photographer's two months with the US 101st Airborne division north of Baghdad. O'Brien called it "a rare insight into the lives of US troops in Iraq and their meshing with their Iraqi allies". Not a lot of "meshing" went on. It looked more like mashing. American patience with unco-operative Iraqi troops and police ran thin. The imagery of bound and hooded Iraqis, lines of kneeling detainees and indiscriminate US shooting was dominant. Howard clearly hated it.

He gave O'Brien short shrift.

Q: "Prime Minister, what do those pictures tell you as an insight into how Iraqi forces are embracing responsibility for their own security to allow Australian, American and British troops to leave?"

Howard, hugely dismissive: "Well, they're just one story. I'm not going to build a policy on one story, particularly one that involves a news outlet that has been unrelentingly critical of coalition involvement in Iraq. The Guardian newspaper! You're making my argument, Kerry. It is simply not plausible to build a strategy, even debate the issue, on the basis of one news report."

O'Brien persisted: "But the cameras didn't lie. You might take issue with the journalist's words, but did the cameras lie when you saw the lack of interface between Iraqi police and American troops, between Iraqi troops and American troops?"

Howard refused to be drawn.

In laymen terms, that's called suck and swallow. You suck and you swallow and you shut the fuck up.
