  The AFP does a NSA posted by darcy, 2013-12-10 07:49:28
The insular Australian Federal Police (AFP) seemingly undaunted by the entire world denouncing NSA style ‘deep packet’ surveillance is in the process of adopting the new technology for ‘real time’ surveillance/mega-information gathering and to hell with public opinion and Oz democracy. (full story)

 Tech Giants Feign Security Indignation posted by sylph, 2013-12-09 11:06:37
In probably the worst kept secret in Silicon Valley large data ‘management’ companies, including Google, MS, Facebook and Yahoo are making a very public scramble to encrypt user data in the hope that the uninformed buy the bullshit and continue to support their services -- it’s all about reputation loss and the bottom line.

 The Media Sainthood of Mandela and how to Compromise Freedom posted by jagga, 2013-12-08 21:41:48
Firstly, allow me to neutralise inane criticism and state, with the utmost respect, that Nelson Mandela was an exceptional individual with a rare determination and tenacity -- his life is his testimonial. However, Mandela learned late to compromise his principles and allow the ruling overlords of his nation to maintain their hold on its resources, wealth and economy, the nation’s sovereignty in other words. Media figure-heads, fanfare, slogans, songs and waving flags do not constitute real FREEDOM -- OWNERSHIP of a nation’s natural wealth by the people is the first prerequisite for a just and free society and that clearly has not occurred since Mandela took leadership of South Africa. Today the nation is much the same as before, minus the overt racism; a two tier society of wealthy elites and a black slave class. (full story)

 An Empire Built on Misinformation and Propaganda posted by sirg, 2013-12-07 22:03:45
The short-lived American Empire was unique in that the primary means utilised for its imperial expansion were misinformation and propaganda. The USA was able to spread its influence mainly via the LIES it disseminated to the global population. It wasn’t until the information revolution in recent decades that the charade was fully exposed and global consciousness turned AGAINST the vile, mass murdering, thieving nation that America actually is.

The Follow-up Story posted by sol, 2013-12-05 10:27:13
The masses have a pea brain, research this fact academically or simply observe media magnates (maggots) like Rupert Murdoch, who verify the fact by arrogantly flying in and out of nations and influencing the outcome of Federal Elections. (full story)

 America Provokes China with nuclear capable B-52 Bomber fly-overs posted by lars, 2013-12-03 23:47:19
There is nothing unusual regarding America’s bullying tactics except for the fact that the U.S.A -- like all cowardly bullies -- usually applies its CLEARLY terrorist, stand-over tactics on much weaker small nations, like Yugoslavia, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, Sudan, Somalia etc; however, it has never attempted, for obvious reasons, to intimidate a nuclear superpower. So whoever initiated this provocative fly-over of Chinese air space under puppet Obama’s watch, requires a good carpeting if not a complete career trashing. What reaction did the U.S. hope to achieve, China cowering in fear and running? (full story)

 Oz government dodging heat on domestic spying revelations posted by len, 2013-12-03 02:19:32
Various government ministers including the PM are displaying their ignorance of the term “metadata” or are simply attempting to use the word incorrectly in a feeble feign designed to reduce 'heat' resulting from local spying allegations. It has been revealed that Oz spies and responsible government ministers were not just willing but eager to share (personal) citizen details with FOREIGN -- US, UK, NZ and Canadian spook agencies -- which (data) included medical, legal, phone records, names etc, Internet usage history, emails, social networking, all digital information etc; in fact, almost everything that is considered PRIVATE by Aussie citizens.

 Female employees of U.S. legal firm instructed to close their legs posted by jaxie, 2013-12-02 12:19:49
The simple response to this outrageous hyper-personal assault is to abandon wearing knickers altogether and engage in Sharon Stone leg cross-overs; but alas, we are in corporate controlled America where unchecked corporate power is now invading women’s crotches and cleavages -- how does it go again? “Only in America!” (full story)

It's PLAIN to see, SLAVES -- there is no freedom if the people are subject to State surveillance. In fact, global surveillance is the most intrusive form of slave management. That is obvious fact and the current REALITY -- you pathetic cowards! (full story)

 The Repository of All Social Power posted by suzie, 2013-11-29 11:09:51
Ruling elites find it imperative never to allow the people to realise the truth about themselves.
The previous paper took an ideological perspective, this short piece will be more direct and address issues point blank. (full story)
