 The Necessity of a Critical Approach posted by nano, 2013-05-12 00:43:36
The lack of critical thinking in the US is producing confusion, inanity, misapprehension and social paralysis. The ensuing lack of effective opposition/dissent is facilitating the criminal status quo. I refer to leading figures Noam Chomsky and Chris Hedges as major subverters of the social forces required to formulate and organise effective social movements for social change, reform and the restoration of justice and democracy in the USA.

A State of War posted by sanchez, 2013-05-10 22:25:35
For those not familiar with overt acts of war allow me to cite a blatant example -- any nation that overtly attacks another sovereign nation declares war in the most basic and brutish manner possible. Israel's recent air attacks on Damascus clearly indicate a State of war exists between Syria and Israel. (full story)

 The Bastard Prince pays tribute to allied Dead in Corporate Wars posted by captain, 2013-05-10 10:18:53
The title says it all but it should first be stated that there is no honour, glory or anything else in death. Death is a neutral event, it visits everyone from beggar, bastard prince, duped soldiers that die for Corporate profits and not to be forgotten, the millions of innocent civilians that pay the highest price. But in death all are equal so let's not make a fiction from the stark reality of INJUSTICE. (full story)

Delusionist Journalists: what is the Internet if not the most sophisticated form of mass media? posted by dasha, 2013-05-09 22:51:01
It’s amazing how blind some specialists appear to be. Since the advent of the print media, then film, radio, TV -- and now the slave inducing digital ‘revolution’ -- the mass media has been utilised as a tool by the ruling powers, so why the surprise when ruling elites appropriated and began to manage (censor) and exploit the digital world/Internet? You reading this, Pilger? (full story)

 “Asymmetric Cyber Warfare”: Superpowers Accuse Each Other posted by zed, 2013-05-09 13:00:44
"The greatest victory is had by creating the circumstances which induce the opponent to defeat itself" -- Anon hacker.
It should be understood from the outset that the activities of Uber or elite hackers are untraceable -- "Uber," used in a cyber context actually means untraceable or invisible. Furthermore, it is child's play to camouflage an attack by directing its source to another party. (full story)

 John Kerry in Moscow posted by nano, 2013-05-09 02:19:02

Believing Bullshit -- American Propaganda posted by Paul Craig Roberts via sal, 2013-05-08 13:01:16
Obama, who has betrayed democracy in America, unleashing execution on American citizens without due process of law and war without the consent of Congress, has the hide to accuse the new president of Venezuela, Nicolas Maduro, of a fraudulent election victory. Obviously, Obama is piqued that the millions of dollars his administration spent trying to elect a (US) puppet president in Venezuela failed to achieve the desired result. (full story)

 "Obama says U.S. has moral obligation to stop slaughter in Syria but needs evidence" posted by nel, 2013-05-07 23:44:03
The above headline is classic double speak -- consider the world's leading civilian killing nation (FACT) making any claim to morality, then add to that grotesque situation a puppet president that boasts an extra-judicial mafia 'kill list,' who supports Torture, and who expeditiously signed into law indefinite detention without trial or charge -- that is the hard reality, dreamboats.
