 You think it can't happen? posted by William Rivers Pitt via jake, 2013-06-20 01:21:43
The recent revelations about the NSA's far-reaching program of domestic surveillance have been met with an astonishing lack of outrage from the tamed American people. A combination of "I'm not doing anything wrong, so why should I worry?" And "we've known this was going on for years," has led to a big complacent shrug over the matter. (full story)

Snowden: Beijing not biting posted by ocker, 2013-06-18 11:02:32
It seems attempts by the inept and rustic USA to plant a double agent in Chinese ranks is failing (miserably) Beijing is NOT biting; after all, the Chinese wrote the book; so intel geniuses in the US are applying a little more ointment in the vain hope that Beijing might bite, fat chance, the Chinese culture wasn't born yesterday like you rustic, criminal, doodle (moron) dandies!

 Lobotomy Pill posted by stan, 2013-06-18 09:46:47
I recall the first occasion I heard about lobotomy pills; it was at a party for ‘social managers’ and some Madison Ave consultants. I immediately thought the joke was on me but remembered the muted, condescending smiles that appeared on some faces. (full story)

 Oz is NOT America -- the Electorate is not so Stupid posted by baz, 2013-06-16 10:08:53
The calamitous saga that is the Oz Labor Party is fast approaching its inevitable conclusion/fate, to be -- for a host of very good reasons -- cast into the political wilderness for decades. (full story)

The Fear of Freedom posted by dani, 2013-06-15 13:36:41
Do not be too quick to laugh, as real freedom is a rare commodity these days. Consider America, once addicted to the word, now a pan-surveillance Police State, locked down with paramilitary police conducting illegal warrantless, door to door searches for ONE severely wounded teenager. The US population welcomes more and more oppressive policies from its criminal government, which is keeping us safe while increasing the threat of attack by slaughtering innocent civilians on a daily basis -- make sense, does it!?

 Where do they get off? posted by hank, 2013-06-15 11:10:28
First they LIE through their teeth to get elected, then they renege on all their promises and serve minority moneyed interests instead of representing the majority which they were commissioned to represent. Next -- under instruction from nefarious minority elites -- they implement indefinite detention laws without charge or trial or any hope of challenging accusers; they legalise surveillance, torture and then compile secret lists (without independent oversight) to murder citizens, all the while saying trust us, we are keeping you safe! Today it is CLEAR that the people need to be protected from deceptive criminal governments, are you reading this Obama, you traitorous piece of dog shit? Of course I refer to our less than honest politicians, the lot of ‘em. (full story)

'Leaker' Snowden, may not be what he appears to be! posted by Naomi Wolf via sal, 2013-06-15 02:16:15
I share some concerns with feminist activist Naomi Wolf and William Shakespeare. My major concern in this age of cyber warfare is Snowden's odd and inadequately explained choice of Chinese Hong Kong to make his stand. Indeed, it appears more like an awkward lure to Beijing as any double agent would inform you. Read well Wolf's suspicions but if we are correct that something rots in Denmark and Hong Kong then China which has thousands of years experience in these spying matters, would not easily be fooled and Snowden may end up in prison for the rest of his foolish life if it is determined that he is indeed an agent. Greenwald also appears to be a useful idiot at his stage. His failure to denounce 9/11 as a KNOWN false flag during a recent interview and to historically challenge the (clearly fake, reviewed numerous times in real time) assassination of Bin laden by trained seals are other concerning issues.

 Perverse and Insular Gillard always in Reverse posted by clancy, 2013-06-15 01:23:00
A headline in the Australian today speaks more than its few words indicate: "Gillard shrugs off Labor leadership rumblings!" And in her own words, "Juliar Gillard today brushed off continued leadership tensions as "rumour and speculation" and declared she is "getting on with the job". I wish I had a dollar for every occasion Gillard resorted to that idiotic, INSULAR 'defence' -- "the job" according to Gillard, as Aussies KNOW all too well, is kowtowing to Big Business and disregarding the interests of the PEOPLE, Labor's traditional support base. Gillard's disrespect for Australians was defined by her treacherous back-stab of the ENTIRE electorate regarding the carbon tax -- A POLICY THAT SERVES THE PROFIT INTERESTS OF BANKERS AND CORPORATIONS BUT PLACES AN ADDITIONAL BURDEN ON THE PEOPLE; notwithstanding that it is KNOWN the carbon tax ('trading' in pollution) will not mitigate global warming in the least, but there's more!
