    Australian Prime Minister Howard is touring the world carrying a message of blind loyalty to the Bush Administration and unrelenting support ("stay the course") for the criminal Bush Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Mainstream Media have reported the honours lavished on Howard by the war criminal Bush Administration and the extreme right-wing minority Canadian Harper Government (which has recently extended the Canadian presence in Occupied Afghanistan despite majority popular opposition).

    Australia funded Saddam Hussein and thence the Iraqi insurgency to the tune of US$250 MILLION via a wheat sale kickback scam by monopoly company AWB (Australian Wheat Board). However despite the fact that everybody else involved, including Australian Intelligence, knew about the Iraqi kickback system, the Australian Government STILL denies having known. According to Opposition Leader Kim Beazley (a longstanding, loyal friend of America but opposed to the Iraq War): "I’m embarrassed as an (…)

  • Australian media lying by omission over wheat scam that killed up to 20,000 Iraqi infants
    20 February 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    Australia has an extraordinary culture of resolute public untruth, "gagging", "looking the other way" and lying by omission. This entrenched culture of LYING permits an Establishment of Prosperous Anglo-Celtic Men (PACMEN; I am 50% Pacman myself) with extremely strong buddy loyalties to get away with blue murder. Now such sustained untruth and "looking the other way" has enabled a major Australian US$250 million corporate scam that may have killed UP TO 20,000 IRAQI INFANTS.

    19 February 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    Henry Rollins, “nominated as a possible threat” for reading a book about militant Islam (Jihad: The Rise Of Militant Islam In Central Asia) on a recent flight from Auckland, had the right idea when he told the government of Australia and the National Security office to “go f... themselves.” As well, he would do good to never visit Australia again and urge his family, friends, and fans of his music and stand-up comedy routine to do likewise. If more people did this, the fascist state of (…)

    Pictures of Iraqi prisoners-naked, wounded, covered with blood, women’s underwear draped over their heads, bound in painful and degrading “stress positions”-were broadcast on Australian television Wednesday, further exposing the horrors inflicted at the US military’s prison camp at Abu Ghraib and similar facilities across the globe.
    The photographs, which also included images of battered and bloodied corpses, were apparently taken about the same time as those that (…)

    14 February 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    The UN Volker Report (2005) has disclosed that the monopoly Australian Wheat Board (AWB) was responsible for kickbacks totalling US$225 million out of an estimated US$1.8 billion of illicit payments to Saddam Hussein’s régime during the UN Oil For Food program in 1999-2003. The kickback mechanism involved excessive trucking fees paid to a Jordanian company half-owned by the Iraqi Government. The Australian Government has repeatedly said "we knew nothing" but expert whistleblowers have said (…)

    PC RACISM (politically correct racism) and cowardice in US-UK-Oz academia has resulted in the mal-education of a current establishment of PC racist journalists, academics and politicians who simultaneously DENY any racism, are COMPLICIT in horrendous mass murder in Asian wars and IGNORE the horrendous, continuing passive genocide of Asians in US wars in gross contravention of the Geneva Conventions (so far there have been 2.1 million avoidable post-invasion deaths and 1.7 million (…)
