  A Trojan Horse in the Home of Austerity posted by Pepe Escobar via sam, 2015-07-07 03:50:37
Odysseus/Ulysses took 10 years to go back home after the Trojan War. His descendants are now making history in the original home of democracy. And they are not going anywhere. They have already placed their Trojan horse in the home of intolerance and austerity. There's no turning back from restoring dignity. And if the Muses rule it, it will be back to the drachma.

Global SOLIDARITY for Greece and Real Democracy posted by Owen Jones via jon, 2015-07-06 15:53:00
By implementing participatory democracy Greece has overcome the first major hurdle in its pursuit of freedom from financial oppression and debt SLAVERY. Make no mistake, an economic WAR is being waged against Greece, its government and DEMOCRACY as I write. However, the first battle has been won by the people of Greece, which rejected the cruel, demeaning and ruinous demands of the global banking cartels. (full story)

 The Creation of the Euro was designed to Debt-enslave European Nations/People posted by jude, 2015-07-06 11:57:30
As we all should be aware the ability of a nation to create its own currency ENSURES political and economic sovereignty, as that nation is able to control the varying needs of monetary supply to counter various economic pressures that periodically eventuate. In other words, national currency creation protects a nation by allowing it to meet economic/fiscal challenges while maintaining its all important SOVEREIGNTY.

 Our NO is a Majestic, big YES to a Democratic, Rational Europe -- UPDATED. posted by Yanis Varoufakis via sally, 2015-07-06 01:29:56
On the 25th of January, dignity was restored to the people of Greece.
In the five months that intervened since then, we became the first government that dared raise its voice, speaking on behalf of the people, saying NO to the damaging irrationality of our extend-and-pretend ‘Bailout Program’. (full story)

 Despite the predictable Multi-million dollar Mass Media scare campaign, Greece Votes “NO” to Slavery posted by george, 2015-07-06 00:14:12
It was to be expected that the global financial elite would spare no expense with its propaganda apparatus to scare the Greek population into submission. However, yet again people in Greece, and world-wide, have seen through elitist LIES to vote for their own interests, democracy and national sovereignty. (full story)

 Public Approval Rating for both Major Party Leaders Plummets posted by Michael Gordon via cyd, 2015-07-05 10:12:57
It seems the Oz population has had enough of non-representative, elite serving, major parties. A recent poll has reflected public sentiment in no uncertain terms. "Make no mistake. These are the worst set of numbers recorded by a prime minister and leader of the opposition in the recent history of modern polling."
Hopefully the abused disenfranchised population will withdraw all support for puppet politicians and corporate owned major parties at the federal poll by installing as many REPRESENTATIVE INDEPENDENTS into both houses of parliament to sort the traitorous bastards out, once and for ALL. (full story)

‘Regime Change’ for America posted by claire, 2015-07-05 01:34:53
Most of the world is already aware that the American doctrine of ‘regime change’ is a highly illegal act under international law whereby a foreign nation -- almost always the US or one of its allied minions, militarily intervenes in another, usually weaker nation, murders its leader and replaces the government with a Washington compliant ‘government’ and puppet leader.

Iceland, land of freedom and democracy grows booming economy after jailing bankster criminals posted by J. D. Heyes via claire, 2015-07-03 11:53:35
Parasitic banks around the world are no longer the quaint little savings-and-loan depositories of yesterday. Today, most of them are owned or co-opted by giant mega-wealthy criminal conglomerates that charge customers for everything from cash deposits to ATM fees. (full story)

 Washington Retriever Tony Abbott Does a Bush posted by des, 2015-07-03 04:38:47
Clad in a military leather jacket, well-trained Australian attack dog Tony Abbott flew by helicopter to a US naval vessel ‘inside’ Sydney harbour to dine with the ‘admiral’ and discuss Australia’s vassal status. Of course, we already know it will be ‘yez boss’ all the way with the war mongering yanks -- ‘owzat for an invertebrate leader of a sovereign nation that should be neutral and exploiting its position in the region as a mediator between East and West but that requires a real statesman with political skills, like Josef Broz Tito for example, who was able to keep both the USSR and the Americans at bay and maintain INDEPENDENCE for his tiny Balkan nation during the cold war; however, well trained dogs being what they are always fetch the bone.

 TPP Trade Officials Received Hefty Bonuses From Big Banks posted by Lee Fang via jason, 2015-07-03 00:01:46
How surprising! Surely, it should now be obvious that corporate and banker owned politicians and officials are anything but representative; clearly they serve corporatist interests, which as we all know are NOT representative of the democratic MAJORITY. Political betrayal of democracy notwithstanding, it is clear that unrepresentative elite interests are interfering with the democratic process, a CRIME in most democratic nations. A full inquiry into this unsavoury 'state of affairs' is absolutely necessary and a clean sweep of bought officials and corrupt politicians infecting OUR democracy should follow. (full story)

 Jordanian Monarchy Announces Plans To Invade Syria posted by Brandon Turbeville via cyd, 2015-07-02 11:15:27
To be expected, I was informed by a Jordanian journalist -- who will remain unnamed for obvious reasons -- his actual comment was, "The king of Jordan doesn't go to the toilet without first ringing Washington!" It should also be remembered that this compliant, sell-out king handed the 'Dome on the Rock', possibly the second holiest site of Islam, to the Israeli's under Washington's instructions, regardless of his pathetic and feeble performance afterwards. So it becomes plain that Washington, baulked by Russia's pledge to Syria to intervene if the US intervenes, is using its obedient vassals to do its dirtywork. However, if the history of Israel's conflicts with Jordan in the past indicate anything it's that Jordan is not up to the task and furthermore the endeavour could make matters extremely problematic for the corrupt Monarch.

Both Major U.S. Parties are Plagues on Humanity posted by Glen Ford via jill, 2015-07-02 03:27:39
Indeed, all major parties in the western world are owned by the corporate, banker elite. If no third REPRESENTATIVE party exists the only remaining option for the people is to vote for representative INDEPENDENTS. Whatever the case may be one thing is certain, all support for unrepresentative major parties should cease. (full story)
