Australian government outlines pro-market agenda for its Pacific sphere of influ

Neo-colonial occupation
The publication of “Pacific 2020” is part of the same process. Given the tiny economies of the Pacific islands and East Timor and their reliance on international aid and trade, these countries will be pushed into implementing its agenda—one way or another. Significantly the report was released a month after the publication of a “White Paper on the Australian Government’s Overseas Aid Program” which explicitly links aid to economic demands. If the threat of aid cutbacks fails, then the countries risk being branded as “failed states” and face the prospect of neo-colonial occupation, as in the Solomons and East Timor.

The USA pushes Australia into the arms of China

28-06-2006 14:33

The Zionists in Washington (Perle, Wolfowitz etc) have the entire Bush regime distracted.

About Palast: 'Was the Invasion of Iraq A Jewish Conspiracy?'

27-06-2006 11:15

An article now published by journalist Greg Palast reads more like a failed attempt at shifting the blame. Or a survival act by the writer. It's not the journalism we are used to from Palast. Now the 'goys' are to blame? This item, which anyhow was published under his name, is definitely not kosher.
