  The U.S. Shutdown: Turning The Social Tide posted by liz, 2013-10-12 23:58:37
The global plutocracy is demonstrating -- though they have orchestrated events from the start -- that democracy doesn’t work. The U.S. shutdown flies in the face of representative democracy and highlights that ‘our’ reps do not really represent us, the MAJORITY, but serve minority interests and themselves instead. In fact, the U.S. shutdown has clearly demonstrated something unintended i.e. that western democracies are OWNED and are simply a means by which ruling UNREPRESENTATIVE minority elites are able to exert influence over nations while remaining in the shadows -- we should never forget that the global plutocracy, which has orchestrated this shutdown scenario, is (temporarily) the most powerful minority interest group on the planet!

The Guardian asks: Are Americans Dumb? posted by sooz, 2013-10-10 22:28:15
A short question begs a short but accurate answer -- YES, it is no secret that the U.S. is the dumbest of all the developed nations; so how do we account for its criminal and other amazing successes -- short answer again, Americans are CAPABLE but extremely perverse. (full story)

 Irate Aussie consumer launches full frontal attack on Coles posted by sal, 2013-10-10 00:30:54
There is no doubt that this and associated stories serve the public interest; it is a very revealing saga and clearly highlights the very soft and vulnerable underbelly of profit-only-driven Corporations and the sociopathic mentalities that run them. (full story)

A Criminal Farce of Monumental Proportions posted by judd, 2013-10-08 22:47:08
Today America is without peer as the leading law-breaking, criminal nation on the planet; its civilian killing record alone amounts to more than the rest of the world combined; it engages in extra-judicial assassinations; it commits war and other heinous crimes against humanity almost on a daily basis and has done so continually for over a decade and YET it has never been held accountable by the International community or courts. The reason is simple, the WORLD is temporarily under the control of criminal Plutocrats that are using the USA and its resources as a means to further their aims and evil ambitions, which are global hegemony, resource theft and enslavement/containment of the global population. Just take a good look at what its agencies strive to achieve on a GLOBAL level TODAY! (full story)

 The US/NATO Crime that is Libya Today posted by Stephen Lendman via stan, 2013-10-08 10:47:05
The most memorable event of the Libyan 'humanitarian' (pretext) intervention was the 26,000 bombing sorties conducted by US/NATO forces, which ruined the most progressive, completely debt-free nation in North Africa. Today Libya is a zone of perpetual conflict by design, thanks to the US and the fundamentalist, al-Qaeda-linked puppet government it installed. (full story)

 Chomsky: here we go again! posted by len, 2013-10-06 23:36:50
The title of the latest propaganda piece, “American Exceptionalism And The Obama Doctrine," from that reprehensible sell-out traitor, Chomsky, who it must be remembered supports (on record) the government MYTH of the Bin Laden assassination by a Navy Seal team, which is based on heresay -- no hard evidence whatsoever -- and who also attributes the now proven false flag inside 9/11 job to Bin Laden when even the FBI dares not venture into that precarious ground, has once AGAIN deflected attention AWAY FROM THE GUILTY CRIMINAL ZIONIST PLUTOCRACY to their presentation/fall guy, PUPPET president and Kissinger protégé, Barack Obama. But should we be surprised, Chomsky is just another Jew keeping the faith -- his academic qualifications scream that he KNOWS better! (full story)

 Mass Media LIES -- It is NOT Hopeless, YOU are NOT POWERLESS! posted by ryall, 2013-10-06 02:41:14
Do not believe the overt, covert and subliminal messages that constantly issue from the Corporate mass media; messages that attempt to convince you that it’s hopeless, you can’t do it, you can’t make a difference, it’s all too much to change the status quo etc., because it’s a LIE! The list of individuals that changed the entire world in positive and negative ways is enormous; individuals invented everything we take for granted and enjoy today, from electricity (AC current) to every other major development known to society -- they did this because they BELIEVED -- not in some external enslaving God or power but in themselves.

Facing Political REALITY posted by lor, 2013-10-05 10:21:27
I could write a long winded treatise on democracy, which would be an exercise in utter futility, as democracy has never existed, it was always an ideal, a theoretical political system. From the first days of its attempted implementation in ancient Greece evidence of corruption was recorded, in particular the detection of counterfeit pottery shards that ancient Greeks used for voting -- portends of things to come, some would say!

 Legendary Military Hero Dies at 102 posted by Margie Mason And Chris Brummitt via dru, 2013-10-04 11:34:15
This man proved that it is always the human factor that wins regardless of the technological advantages of the adversary. Against overwhelming odds, Comrade Gen. Vo Nguyen Giap defeated French and then American colonialists in Vietnam proving that his first amazing victory against the French was no fluke. Vietnam gained independence and freedom largely due to the planning brilliance of this man. However, it should be remembered that no-one does it alone; who could forget Uncle Ho's devastating and prophetic message to the USA, "you will never succeed!" Today's world of spineless wimps has a lot to learn from the integrity and tenacity of yesterday's heroes. (full story)

The Point posted by juno, 2013-10-03 22:18:21
The point is not that your governments are corrupt and in the service of an elite criminal class -- that is (widely) known. Or that governments no longer represent the interests of the people -- it finished decades past. Or that government agencies and the military commit numerous heinous crimes against humanity ... etc. (full story)
