  Sacked Oz ‘journalist’ to Sue former Employer SBS posted by snowy, 2015-05-20 11:53:49
And rightfully so, it is America that leads the world in fictive journalism and brazen propaganda; to imagine that an Oz media commentator would be sacked for telling the truth about one of Australia’s enduring myths is not only absurd it is anti-Australian to the extreme. (full story)

 Democracy, where is it? posted by will, 2015-05-20 01:29:01
Name one nation that has installed a government that represents the majority? Do your best cuz you won't find one. So the next time you hear any politician, use terms such as 'democracy, liberty or freedom,' laugh out loud, but not too loud because the joke is on you. (full story)

Empires Never Die Quietly – Cycles of Catastrophe posted by happy jack, 2015-05-18 00:26:56
History informs us in no uncertain terms that every great Empire fails but rarely, if ever, fails with a whimper. And so fasten your apathetic seatbelts, cowards, slaves and drones because it is you, as has always been the case, that allows this dread-full cycle to persist. (full story)

The Sociopathic Neocon Agenda Today posted by judd, 2015-05-17 01:16:41
The neocon agenda, expressed in the PNAC document, which has been pursued by the USA from presidents Clinton through to Obama is basic and insane, world domination at any cost; notwithstanding that any nation group or person that aspires to global domination is plainly in desperate need of incarcerated psychiatric treatment. Yet this insane agenda has been pursued by both major US political parties for over 20 years simply because both major parties in the US and other western 'democracies' are literally owned by the same (malevolent) interests that adhere to the lunatic ideology of perpetual war, destabilisation and eventual (pipedream) world domination.

 The Stats are in Oz is Awash with Drugs posted by justin, 2015-05-16 01:29:42
We should first recall pathologically lying Tony Abbott’s remark, that “our police are the best in the world,” well Mr Abbott, reality shreds ANOTHER of your pathetic LIES – you will never implement a police State here and furthermore I have no idea why the Australian people continue to tolerate you as leader of our nation, my demented grandmother could do a better job simply by not following the directions of the corporate elite, I shall explain why soon.

The World is Facing Hard Reality and Failing posted by luke, 2015-05-15 09:57:59
Indeed, for thinking aware people I could leave it at the title, however, as we are an innately social and co-operative species I’ll spell it out for those that ‘struggle to see what is before their noses.’ (full story)

Five major international banks are expected to plead guilty as soon as next week to criminal charges in the US related to their deliberate manipulation of global foreign exchange markets, which allowed them to rake in billions of dollars at the expense of retirees, university endowments and municipalities.

 Oz National Security Compromised by Canberra Politicians posted by mitch, 2015-05-15 00:45:58
No sooner had the ink dried on a previous article regarding the dangerous servile attitude to war mongering Washington displayed by our federal politicians, than Abbott, the ‘iron man,’ (LOL) informed the national press that “the US had no plans to base B-1 [bombers] in Australia,” even though Washington openly stated the contrary (read through the associated Murdoch bullshit). Also, from the AFR "... top officials who said the US would be "placing additional Air Force assets in Australia … including B-1 bombers and surveillance aircraft". (full story)

 The Two Party Political Charade in Oz .., posted by jess, 2015-05-14 10:07:07
which clearly serves elite interests, maintain their status as the only two horses in the race, even though it is broadly known that both parties are owned by the same plutocratic stable – the colours they wear are purely for show, and that is the point. While only two major parties exist that are capable of forming a real government, the people are stuck with one political agenda regardless of the vote they cast. And it always turns out the same, what can we do for you now Washington and the corporate banker elite? The situation is sickening, as ‘democracy’ – government by and for the MAJORITY -- becomes a meaningless word. (full story)

A common vernacular expression which means, stoned, in la la land, divorced from reality etc, AND it applies not only to the fringe but to entire populations today, especially the American. (full story)

 Budget: it’s ‘fair’ because Abbott says so … posted by cyd, 2015-05-13 01:45:38
And as we know Abbott is an unrepentant LIAR and disingenuous clown in the service of the big end of town. The FACT that Abbott has CONTINUED to target pensioners, the vulnerable, average wage earners and citizens by juggling the figures -- taking from Tom to pay Paul -- is obvious but not a major measure to fill the void in REVENUE left by tax avoiding multinationals, yet this budget is “fair”, my arse!

“To see what is in front of one's nose requires constant struggle” -- George Orwell posted by alias, 2015-05-12 13:27:17
As usual Orwell is right on the button; today, as Orwell predicted, few see the forest for the tress, in fact, fewer still see anything that isn’t packaged by the mass media. And so the REAL crisis of climate change, which threatens the tenure of humanity and the earth as we know it, is backgrounded by Kim Kardashian’s tits and empty head. But how much more vacuous are the heads of the digitally captured slave herd that ‘follow’ Kardashian on twit-ter and ‘facefuck?’ (full story)
