It’s stunning to see the lies and drivel in the mainstream news media. They’ve done an excellent job at distorting truth and displaying some of the most transparent lies, e.g. Secretary of State John Kerry has been a wonderful source of lies and misdirection. You can verify that by listening to just about any word… Continue reading More Reliable News Sources on Syria

Will the UK Break Treaties and Violate the Rule of Law?
I suppose that it is no shock to anyone that the rule of law died long ago in many of the modern western police states, including the United Kingdom. Now with Julian Assange granted asylum in the Ecuadorian embassy, the UK is blatantly flaunting the fact that it is a lawless country of thugs where… Continue reading Will the UK Break Treaties and Violate the Rule of Law?
Fundamentally Flawed GOP Ideologies
The fundamental, basic attitudes in the current GOP candidates are flawed right from the start. They see the people as slaves to do their bidding, rather than government as the servant of the people. Rick Santorum illustrates this ideology: We need someone who will… motivate the American public to do its duty. (Source) So, the… Continue reading Fundamentally Flawed GOP Ideologies
Julia Gillard is a Homophobic… -NSFW-
So I’m driving down the road today and listening to the Australian Parliament on the radio. And there’s a question for Julia Gillard, the Australian Prime Minister. Will Australia issue single, non-married adults outside of Australia a letter of non-impediment to marriage? To which she gives a resounding NO. She flat out says that gays… Continue reading Julia Gillard is a Homophobic… -NSFW-
OECD Advocates Violation of Sovereignty

America’s Homeland Paranoia Committee
I fail to understand American paranoia. While reading yet another news story about “security”, it occurred to me just how deeply rooted fear is in American culture and how completely moronic their reactionary paranoia is. The Ottawa Citizen reported this story: Canada rejects U.S. senator’s visa idea: Lieberman calls report on border security ‘alarming’. In… Continue reading America’s Homeland Paranoia Committee
Bizarre Law Enforcement in Victoria
Australian law enforcement continues to baffle me. Harsh penalties for nothing, and slaps on the wrist for violent offenders. I don’t get it. Victorian law enforcement seems to be particularly nutty sometimes. While reading some news at The Age I came across an article: Experts pan public mobile speed camera plan The last paragraph struck… Continue reading Bizarre Law Enforcement in Victoria
Egypt – No Signal
The Associated Press is reporting that Egypt has suspended mobile phone services in some areas where protests are expected. It’s disconcerting as this kind of thing bodes ill for everywhere. If the Egyptian government will cut the Internet nationwide and cut phones, who else will be willing to do so? Cutting communications is something that… Continue reading Egypt – No Signal
Egypt – 404 Not Found
Well, in a rather stunning development in the Middle East turmoils, Egypt has shut down the Internet. Completely. As in none. Zero. Nadda. Zilch. Zippo. 404 Not Found. The BBC has reported that amidst the protests there, the Egyptian government has shut the Internet off completely for the whole country. Internet connections across Egypt appear… Continue reading Egypt – 404 Not Found
This is Not the United States of Planet Earth
Arrogance and idiocy have champions world wide, but none more so than in the United States of America, where the Rule of Law is a total joke. American political and legal responses to Julian Assange and Wikileaks demonstrate a flagrant disregard for established conventions such as the Rule of Law, and reveal American politicians and… Continue reading This is Not the United States of Planet Earth
