A document published by Wikileaks reveals a battle over the 'heart and soul of intellectual property law in the Pacific Rim,' says IP expert. Australia's consent at the behest of media magnates such as Rupert Murdoch is yet another blow to Australian sovereignty, as the Corporate created TPP has the power by consent to overrule the once supreme authority of local governments -- may democracy never rest in peace!

Tony 'false pretences' Abbott Abbott orders Federal Police to drop Balibo case posted by mitch, 2014-10-24 09:02:20
Possibly the most treacherous example of Abbott’s callous and criminally deceptive character to date is the recent order to the AFP to drop the Balibo war crimes case against Indonesian special forces for the witnessed, cold-blooded murder of five Australian journalists covering events in East Timor during the brutal Indonesian invasion in the mid 70‘s -- which crime was, I would add, sanctioned by the USA.

Reprehensible Cowardice posted by stacy, 2014-10-24 03:19:16
The world’s leading civilian killing nation (an enduring statistical fact) is the USA.

To lead in this way a culture must have certain cultural dispositions that allow it to slaughter millions of innocent civilians without concern -- the most extreme example of which was during the Indo-Chinese war where the Americans adopted a ‘carpet bombing’ campaign that slaughtered millions of innocents, as carpet bombing means what it says, blanket, indiscriminate bombing with no regard whatsoever for innocent civilians.

The Biggest Tragedy of 9/11 posted by jay, 2014-10-19 10:36:15
The most tragic aspect today of the 9/11 false flag is that people continue to believe the Government Report which has so many holes in it, it makes Swiss cheese look solid. (full story)

Vladimir Putin, a response too late Reprehensible Coward Putin Warns Globalist Puppet Obama posted by druze, 2014-10-17 12:57:03
In a press statement delivered in Serbia -- a traditional ally that Russia callously abandoned in its time of greatest need -- Putin foolishly and blindly attempted to reason with America. Futility best describes Putin’s misguided efforts to reason with a ‘singularly and uncontrollably driven’ nation, to paraphrase Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov in his recent address to the UN in which he described the NATO/US alliance as a manic pact of aggression and the greatest threat to world peace that exists.

Russian Foreign Minister, Sergey Lavrov Russia’s Belated 'Verbal' Response to US/NATO Imperialism -- Lavrov’s UN speech posted by jake, 2014-10-16 12:13:42
I feel like beginning this piece with a howl, which would be the most appropriate response to Lavrov’s recent speech at the UN. However, I will do my best to remain cool-headed but I will not succeed as I am a realist and do not have a 24 hour memory. (full story)

Western Ukraine's Fascists The Extremist Allies of the USA posted by Robert Parry via sven, 2014-10-15 11:43:30
Who would have thought that the USA would so rapidly degenerate to the depth where it now openly jumps into bed with Jihadists, neo-Nazis and similar ultra-right fascist groups -- of course the US only supports “moderate” fascists/terrorists (my ass) and ‘reformed’ neo-Nazis but as the old adage goes, ‘you are known by the company you keep,’ and so we have an American police state today to replace ‘democracy, freedom and liberty’ that is so often spouted by lying dictator presidents that brag kill lists, indefinite detention without charge or trial, rendition, torture, total domestic surveillance and a host of other ‘legal’ totalitarian policies -- need I say once again, it’s time to wake up America and remove the criminals that have hijacked your REPUBLIC?

Disingenuous, duplicitous, loud-mouthed clown, Tony Abbott Abbott-(Putin): “If you Repeat a BIG LIE Often enough it will be Believed” -- Adolf Hitler posted by stace, 2014-10-13 23:21:45
The Australian media industry is currently saturating the airwaves with stories of PM Tony Abbott putting on a tough show regarding Putin and flight MH-17. Now, notwithstanding that Abbott is a political pipsqueak in comparative terms next to Putin, the only weapons he has in his pathological, duplicitous toolkit are LIES and misinformation. Abbott is LYING through his teeth yet AGAIN and acting tough for political gain and to enhance his image and distract from his crimes (FRAUD). If we stand back from the media onslaught for a moment and take stock we immediately apprehend that Abbott is a very WELL KNOWN PATHOLOGICAL LIAR who gained office by premeditated fraudulent misrepresentation, that is the REALITY and leopards/politicians do not change their spots.

America’s Internal War posted by jack, 2014-10-13 10:17:30
Empires do not fail they implode one way or another depending on how they function. The USA has created a monumental problem as it is ‘contractionist’ to the extreme; contractionism is much like a classic Freudian ‘anal retentive’ that attempts to control every minute thing or detail and so we have hyper-contractionism with pan-surveillance, indefinite detention without trial or charge and ‘legal’ assassinations at a stroke of the president’s pen. Of course the natural reaction by free thinking, intelligent creative people employed in sensitive demanding fields that are aware of the government's criminal activities is to leak vital information and subvert the criminal government and the shadowy forces that control it.

Australian Numbat facing extinction The ‘Thrive’ Movement posted by numbat, 2014-10-13 01:23:55
I was recently sent a link to a video presentation on a group calling itself ‘The Thrive Movement.’ The presentation is a reasonably slick production which covers the existence of an evil moneyed elite that has an agenda for world domination, the existence of which is known by socially informed and aware individuals. However, one of the person’s utilised to support the theories of this movement is David Icke, who is featured in the video; for those unfamiliar with this character suffice to say that Icke invented the insane and totally absurd theory that lizards (reptile humanoids) have ruled the world for thousands of years and us poor mammals are their enslaved subjects -- clearly a textbook schizophrenic delusion. Immediately any sane person is alerted! (full story)

The Restoration posted by gan, 2014-10-12 02:39:05
l almost titled this piece The ‘Great’ Restoration, as indeed it would be if the global population simply and easily exercised its LEGAL prerogatives to maintain and ensure personal and national SOVEREIGNTY in a world where certain malevolent forces are hell-bent on eradicating all notions of independence, self-determination and sovereignty.
