Enough already
Note to the Australian media: please shut the fuck up about Jana Pittman and Tamsyn Lewis. Two taxpayer-funded bimbos don't like one another. Big fucking deal.
And you thought your grandad was crazy....
What do you do if you're an ageing ex-Marine who's just escaped from a mental institution, realised he's homeless and has just sold his truck?
Why naturally, you'd buy a trike and travel around America towing two hundred pounds of luggage, vaguely recording each step in an internet travel journal.
Joseph Stalin: humanitarian & hero
I want you to click on this link. Take some time and browse all the articles within. Here's one highlight:
Stalin is a towering figure of the 20th Century. It is precisely because of Stalin's achievements and stature, valid criticisms notwithstanding, that he is still held in such high standing and that there are so many — and such unrelenting — attacks on him in the bourgeois media fifty years after his death.
That's just the tip of the iceberg. Simply mind-boggling.
Another reason why Fidel Castro should be disemboweled with a spoon
Guillermo Fariñas.
To all the Castro apologists out there: I hope you die. Painfully.
Mourning a great man
Man, these local commie sadcases never met a mass-murderer they didn't admire:
Upwards of 100,000 people attended the funeral of Slobodan Milosevic in Belgrade following his death in The Hague prison where he had faced down his accusers for four years. His death at 64 years of age brought to an end his long fight against the campaign of imperialism to dismember the Socialist Republic of Yugoslavia.
From the moment he and the Yugoslavian Government under his leadership opposed the plans of imperialism he became a marked man who suffered the unrelenting venom and hatred of all Western leaders and demonisation by the Western media. They demand unquestioning compliance with their policies and Milosevic refused to bend the knee.
[...]
It is the leaders of the Western powers, those really responsible for the rape of Yugoslavia and wars in the Balkans, who are the real mass murderers and should be brought before the legitimate International Court of Justice.
Charming people, these communists.
...and while on the subject of local communist idiots......
Here they are venting their rage back in 2000 against people who dare to criticise the benevolent regime in North Korea:
Mesmerised by their own lies and misconceptions over decades the western media continues to pour vitriol over the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea and its leader, Kim Jong Il, even after the obvious was forced on them at the Summit meeting just held in Pyongyang.
Reporters admitted that Kim Jong Il was highly civil, courteous, a genial host, statesmanlike and witty whereas they had been presenting him as "unpredictable" and "one of the world's reclusive despots". Having never been to North Korea, the journalists pronounced the north as a country where the people are "savagely oppressed" and where the economy is "dysfunctional". It is the western world and the people of South Korea who have been brainwashed.
South Korean students have been told that northerners were "horrid little people". "I was even told that they [had] little horns on their heads" said one South Korean student. Instead of starving masses lining the streets of Pyongyang there were 600,000 North Koreans, many dressed in National costumes and waving pink flowers. "The trip", says one reporter, "was a master stroke of public relations by Kim Jong Il."
Sounds like paradise. *cough*
Here's a prediction from the same six-year old article:
With peace breaking out and the prospect of reunification in the air, the justification for the stationing of American troops in South Korea is removed. Watch out for provocations!
Yes, the Americans have non-invaded North Korea every year! Crush the imperialists!
The Deep Political Thoughts of Mike Tyson and some other dork
Turns out Mike is a great fan of Chinese thinkers:
Former heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson visited Mao Zedong's mausoleum in a token of respect to add to the Mao tattoo on his arm and his personal book collection of the late Great Helmsman.
A long-time admirer, Tyson confessed to feelings of inadequacy when gazing upon Mao's embalmed remains.
"I felt really insignificant next to the remains of Chairman Mao," the China Daily today quoted Tyson as saying.
Tyson bought several books on Mao before shouting "I love you!" to Chinese onlookers as he left the mausoleum.
The boxer says his special interest stems from reading Mao's selected works while serving a prison sentence in the US for rape in the 1990s.
One assumes they were the Crayon Editions.
I guess it's possible Mao has had a bad rap. 'Maoist scholar' Raymond Lotta issues a press release defending the great man:
Mao Tsetung was not the monster that Jung Chang and Jon Halliday allege, but the greatest liberator of the mid-20th century. That George Bush would find inspiration in this book, and that its authors would offer their work as ideological ammunition for the Bush administration's imperial crusade, tells us something about the book's real agenda."
"Mao Tsetung had a vision of a society and world without exploitation and oppression, a world in which people consciously seek to understand and change the world and themselves; George Bush has a vision of a world under the uncontested military, political, and economic domination of the United States--a world of unfettered capitalism in which rightwing Christianity serves to bully and blind people into submission."
" Mao: The Unknown Story combines tendentious historical reconstruction with gossip and slander, unsubstantiated factual assertions, statements wrenched out of context, anonymous testimonies of personal cruelty, and complete distortion of the liberating goals and extraordinary achievements of the revolution Mao led. These lies assert Mao was responsible for the death of millions. But the truth is, Mao's social and economic policies improved the lives of countless millions and life expectancy doubled under Mao."
The 'life expectancy' of those he didn't have killed that is.
