  Coles Integrity Watch -- UPDATE of Email Exchange posted by shopper, 2013-07-20 10:19:14
Following are recent emails to 'Coles Customer Care;' however, due to copyright restrictions we are unable to publish the Coles emails, nonetheless, the extremely detailed customer responses paint a very clear picture indeed.
This material is published in the public interest -- readers would note that Wesfarmers Coles Supermarket Chain has recently been fined ($61K) by the ACCC for "misleading and deceptive conduct." (full story)

 Noam Chomsky is in denial about 9/11 posted by Mark H Gaffney via judd, 2013-07-20 08:03:19
During a recent interview on Democracy Now, Noam Chomsky stated that he believes Osama bin Laden was probably behind the attacks of September 11, 2001.i The statement was curious because in earlier interviews Chomsky described the evidence against bin Laden as thin to nonexistent,ii which was accurate and, no doubt, explains why the US Department of Justice never indicted bin Laden for the 9/11 attacks.

 Military ‘Judge’ allows “Aiding the Enemy” charge for Manning posted by jen, 2013-07-18 12:01:50
After lawyer Barack Obama pronounced Manning guilty during pre-trial submissions, “he broke the law,” and Assange who stood accused of ‘criminal’ activity (without a court decision) by former Oz PM and US lackey Juliar Gillard, is anyone really surprised by the recent actions of a proven criminal US military ‘court’ to pursue Manning on the most serious charge of "aiding the enemy" to make an example of him in order to deter others from revealing sensitive and compromising information to the world?

 Coles Supermarket Frost/ice Affected ‘fresh’ Veg and Recalcitrant Management posted by shopper, 2013-07-18 00:09:31
Before proceeding we should first establish that the American modelled Coles supermarket chain seems to be the only outlet in Oz that displays ice intolerant (easily frost damaged) fresh produce on ice-filled display trays over extended periods; a routine that drastically damages stock by reducing nutrients, quality and storage life. With the exception of broccoli and brussels sprouts, which are shipped in ice, almost all other fresh vegetables on sale in Oz supermarkets are frost/ice INTOLERANT, which simply means that contact with frost/ice severely damages the product – this particularly applies to the now popular Asian varieties.

 Levar Burton, Actor -- "I do this because I live in America!" posted by lete, 2013-07-16 23:10:07
A must see video on the reality on the ground in America; the difference between the media induced dream and ACTUAL REALITY couldn't be more pronounced.
Disseminate this video widely -- it's about time we confronted some hard realities. (full story)

 The Battle is Really for Your Mind posted by grey, 2013-07-15 14:02:18
We laugh every time mainstream (CFR) news covers stories of domestic Drone surveillance simply due to the very well-known fact (by specialists and the socially aware) that a UAV is a sitting duck in the sky regardless of how ‘sophisticated’ it is purported by the powers to be. Most of us remember the Iranians hacking into remote systems and hijacking the most sophisticated surveillance Drone the USA possessed – a simple proof of concept/point. (full story)

 American Coup d' etat posted by Dr. Paul Craig Roberts via judd, 2013-07-15 00:40:59
America has suffered a coup d'etat, but the population is hesitant to acknowledge it. [Notwithstanding that the majority imagines we are speaking about a two-door car].
The regime ruling in Washington today lacks constitutional and legal legitimacy. Americans are ruled by usurpers who claim that the executive branch is above the law and that the US Constitution is a mere "scrap of paper." (full story)

 Glenn Greenwald attempts to distract from Snowden’s nothing-new ‘Leaks’ posted by lex, 2013-07-14 02:59:53
In a Guardian piece today, Ed Snowden’s carefully selected journo mouthpiece, Glenn Greenwald, is characteristically attacking Reuters for ‘manipulating’ an interview he conducted with another news outlet -- this entire scenario is becoming quite the entertainment of the week and may soon take on the character of a soap opera with Greenwald’s offended homosexual ‘sensitivity’ now interfering with objective reporting/reality. It is becoming quite the laughable matter in view of recent events; neither Greenwald nor Snowden have released any really compromising material to date, the material released so far has been known for decades and continues to be freely available in the public domain; i.e. that the NSA has been conducting ILLEGAL global surveillance for decades under various code names including the now infamous but widely known, “Echelon,” an earlier form of PRISM!

 Ed Snowden And The Born Yesterday Syndrome posted by mann, 2013-07-13 11:27:05
Syndrome - Definition: “A group of symptoms that collectively indicate or characterise a disease, psychological disorder, or other abnormal condition."
A plague of global proportions exists today; it is characterised by what has been described as a 24 hour memory and an inability to achieve even the slightest degree of objectivity. It is as though the masses live in a Matrix movie with particular emphasis on an infamous statement made by one of the characters who was aware of the enslaving program and fake steak he was eating but chose to live in the enslaving dreamworld rather than make the supreme effort to free himself from it's insidious and nefarious influence -- the first Matrix movie as an allegory of our time couldn't be more accurate!

Snowden and the Failed Baiting of China posted by judd, 2013-07-12 12:16:36
According to reports released by WikiLeaks and Russia Today, Ed Snowden has accepted all offers of asylum, including Putin’s offer conditional to not releasing data that could “harm our American partners!" So if you ever wondered why Russia fed slavic Yugoslavia to the dogs and sat back and watched NATO/US devastate Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya and now Syria, then wonder no more, the Russian leadership is in bed with the criminally corrupt Americans or rather the moneyed forces that control the White House and Congress.

Walmart Rebuffed: Take note Oz (Coles) Supermarket Chain posted by Sarah Lazare via Coles shopper, 2013-07-12 02:24:20
The Washington DC city council passed a 'living-wage' bill Wednesday, rebuffing Wal-Mart's virulent public opposition to the legislation, which included a Tuesday op-ed in the Washington Post in which the retail giant declared it will pack its bags and leave the city before it pays humane wages.

 Bradley Manning Sold Out posted by mitch, 2013-07-11 13:18:59
There is something very disturbing about the Manning case and that is everyone involved, including Manning’s defence team, is playing charades. The media refers to this charade as a trial when in fact it is pure pretence. It is legally and logically IMPOSSIBLE to conduct a fair trial when the (proven) criminally accused (Pentagon) is sitting in judgement of the accuser (Manning); are we clear on that? It is simply impossible to obtain an impartial verdict in those circumstances. (full story)

 Ed Snowden’s Achievements to Date – None! posted by stan, 2013-07-10 12:05:44
The NSA whistleblower and duped journalist who was carefully selected to reveal what we already know -- that we are all under constant surveillance by the American NSA -- continue to occupy the ‘front pages’ around the western world to the great expense of other more critical news. (full story)

 To Foreign Julia Gillard Defenders and Apologists posted by sal, 2013-07-10 04:50:16
First, allow me to state emphatically that Oz has some of the most robust and protective family laws and anti-discrimination laws in the WORLD, many of which were pioneered by Aussie women -- you will note that it was one such pioneer, Germaine Greer, who referred to Gillard’s posterior as a, “big arse” while speaking disparagingly about Gillard’s awkward and poor taste in dress, on national TV. That is only ONE relevant issue the mass media chooses to sideline/omit when it seeks to sell or distract! Following are a just a few FACTUAL considerations to take into account when assessing why Gillard is loved by Washington and REVILED at home. Take note international media and I challenge all major outlets to oppose these verifiable, historical facts. (full story)
