 Secret Plans for Corporate Global Rule Exposed posted by Deirdre Fulton via jaxie, 2015-07-02 00:55:44
It has become apparent that 'free trade' deals are a very one-sided affair, of course favouring their designers, tax-avoiding, exploiting, rapacious, polluting, democracy-destroying, mega transnational corporations. The world has already learned that 'globalisation' only favoured its designers, mega-corporations, which created international tax rorts and loopholes which only they could exploit to great advantage. The international work force gained NOTHING, in fact, wages and working conditions were actually depressed in order for corporations to better exploit cheaper labour internationally. The latest round of secret deals involving bought, puppet politicians from various nations, spells the end of national sovereignty and democracy for participating nations -- of that be in absolutely no doubt. Following is a report based on leaked material to Wikileaks, which should alarm all citizens that believe in freedom, democracy, and the RIGHT to national and personal self-determination.

ISIL’s Primary Mission FAIL - to Eliminate Assad posted by zed, 2015-06-30 12:36:34
Make no mistake, the raison d’etre of ISIL, as a US created and supported proxy fighting force, was to eliminate Assad, however, as is painfully (for Washington) obvious it has failed so the US has publicly contemplated direct intervention itself, which ‘news’ forced a visit to Moscow of Assad’s foreign minister to seek assurances of support, which was promised by Putin without hesitation or reservation; in plain words, if the US intervenes in Syria so will Russia and possibly China with an appropriate or greater retaliatory response. So there it is, a failed proxy fighting force that succeeded in (abandoned) Libya -- shame on you Putin -- but not Syria. (full story)

The Self-annihilating ‘cult of self’ posted by shirl, 2015-06-29 11:53:51
The human species is a social species, though you wouldn’t know it today. The corporate manipulated digital revolution has produced massive alienation and social dislocation on a scale never before seen, yet those intentionally led into self-obsession/absorption (narcissism) only see their own (digital) images which they share with their ‘digital’ friends on digital devices/media; these ‘friends’ respond by sending their own ‘selfies’ and around it goes – already it becomes apparent that this corporate designed slaughter of our need to be social is a monumental tragedy.

War Mongering Mass Media Eliminates PEACE from Discussion posted by jane, 2015-06-29 01:19:28
When was the last time you saw or heard ‘Peace’ as the major topic of discussion in the western mass media? Exactly! Peace discussions have become anathema to the privately owned corporate mass media for the simple reason that ‘perpetual war,’ fear and terror provide more profits for the vile mega-corporations that serve the war, pan-surveillance and terror INDUSTRIES!

Two Remarkable PROPHETS of the 20th Century posted by roy, 2015-06-26 13:09:27
Indeed, these two men from radically different backgrounds nailed it for our times; the first was George Orwell, a journalist, who in clear unambiguous language – unlike the convoluted babble of biblical or religious ‘prophets’ -- spelled it out in no uncertain terms. Today we live in Orwell’s 1984 on steroids, a sad indictment of the masses that allowed it all to transpire -- who could rationally dispute Orwell’s remarkable and precise evaluation of western society’s trajectory?

 It’s Time for Aussies to Refocus ON ABBOTT! posted by cyd, 2015-06-25 01:34:14
We all know the ‘distract the child with a lolly trick,’ so why allow lying, unrepresentative and deceitful Tony Abbott to shift our focus from HIM and his thoroughly incompetent (proven) government to matters that hardly impact the nation? By far the most critical matters affecting the overwhelming majority of Aussies are Abbott’s UNFAIR policies and his CONSTANT financial attacks on the vulnerable and average Australians. It is now widely known that tax-avoiding multinationals, parasitic big banks and other large unregulated corporations are not shouldering their responsibilities to the nation that they pillaged their collective $TRILLIONS from.
