Cheney’s speech at Sydney’s Shangri-la Hotel

23-02-2007 06:18

The American Vice-President, Dick Cheney, today delivered his only address to the ‘public’ at the plush Shangri-la Hotel. He will later meet with the servile Defence Minister, Brendan Nelson and other minor government officials at Victoria Barracks, Paddington. The symbolism of Cheney’s visit in the last days of neo-conservative rule is not lost on Australians; the absence of the Prime Minster, John Howard, from the venue was the most notable aspect of the event!

US Iran Intelligence, Guardian Coverage, "INcorrect"

23-02-2007 03:49

It's interesting to note how many "news" outlets can take stories critical of the criminals attempting to start a war with Iran, and spin them into weak, thinly-veiled attacks on Iran. The same happened when Israel's plans for a nuke strike on the country were revealed.

Building these weapons would not justify a war. Only an actual plan to use these, known to the target state, would constitute 'pre-emption'.

Like those leaked about Israeli and US plans to strike Iran with nuclear weapons ...

Leafleting Guardian offices TODAY at 12pm

23-02-2007 02:21

Who’s William Rodriguez? Not sure, never met the guy. George Bush has though. Honoured him at the White House. William pulled people out of the twin towers before they collapsed, and amazingly survived under the wreckage because of a breathing trick he learnt when he was a magician’s assistant. Last man to be pulled out alive – that’s the name of his tour around England “Last Man Out”.

The Howard government, RAMSI, and the April 2006 Solomon Islands’ riots Part 2

22-02-2007 21:24

The Howard government immediately moved to derail the official investigation, using all the dirty tricks at its disposal. Former Australian Federal Court Justice Marcus Einfeld, who was appointed head of the inquiry, became the target of an extraordinary media witchhunt in Australia, ostensibly over an unpaid $77 speeding fine. Following Einfeld’s announcement that he was resigning from the Solomons’ investigation, the barrage of sensationalist stories disappeared from the headlines as suddenly as they had emerged.

Preparing for Cheney

22-02-2007 04:26

See how Australian conservatives run! “No Australian should be surprised. In fact I would like to think they would support it ... The people who murdered 100 Australians in Bali trained in this place with these people and that's why we're there." The statement by the Australian Defence Minister Brendan Nelson is his latest despicable attempt to garner support and justify increased Australian military involvement in Afghanistan – the truth is the Howard government is at the beck and call of the Americans, that is why ‘we’ are in Afghanistan, Mr. Nelson. Defence Minister Nelson, in preparation for Dick Cheney’s arrival in Sydney tonight, has resorted to flagrant LIES and K-Mart political strategies to demonstrate to Cheney that Australian conservatives are able emulators of their master’s cheap tricks and lying political methods.

Exclusive: The Official Draft of the Oil and Gas Law of The Iraq Republic

22-02-2007 02:49

Al-Ghad is publishing the full text of the draft Law of Oil & Gas which has been kept away from Iraqi and international public opinion. This will make possible an objective evaluation of this major project and its possible far reaching consequences for the Iraqi people and the world oil industry. We have already published an extensive analysis of the previous draft, by a prominent oil expert, and we are in the process of publishing an update by the same writer, we see no need to introduce this important document.

Taken together, what is known about the events of April 18-19, 2006 leaves little doubt that Australian forces were deliberately stood down in order to allow for an extended eruption of violence. Certainly the least plausible explanation is that offered by Castles and other Australian officials.

Whose Carbon Is It, Anyway?

21-02-2007 22:32

This article is about the carbon emissions that many of us don’t know about, or perhaps choose to ignore. It is about the carbon emissions that are only indirectly related to what we do, but are most certainly caused by what we do. It is also about the way we behave, and how that can have a huge impact on those hidden carbon emissions.
