  The Criminal CIA 'Biggest Source of Corruption in Afghanistan' posted by Jon Queally via sal, 2013-04-29 11:26:56
Confirming what many policy experts have known for some time, a New York Times headline in Monday's print edition describes how the most corrupting influence within the Afghan government of Hamid Karzai is not innate cronyism or tribal favoritism, but rather the suitcases full of US cash delivered to the Presidential Palace over the last decade by the CIA.

 SF Gay 'Pride' Abandons Gay Hero Bradley Manning posted by tony, 2013-04-28 01:06:08
The supremely cowardly stance of American (SF) gays is not surprising given the gay CONSERVATIVE push to legalise gay marriage -- we should not forget that marriage is probably the most conservative of all social arrangements. And to think that the gay movement in the 80's was radical -- a persecuted minority group struggling against conservative values has now performed a complete inversion and EMBRACED conservatism -- so what else is new in upside-down, HYPOCRITICAL America?

 Economic Blockade of Wikileaks Ruled Unlawful posted by Elizabeth C. via bub, 2013-04-26 13:44:16
I have no time for Assange or any other despotic, fascist ego type and I couldn't give a fuck how 'gifted' or 'intelligent' others say he is. The issue is INJUSTICE and it seems that justice has finally been served; the clearly uncorrupted Icelandic Supreme Court ruled that the economic blockade of donations to WikiLeaks is unlawful.

 Obama Authorizes Warrantless ‘Cybersecurity’ Surveillance - Immunity Given to ISPs posted by Trevor Timm via sal, 2013-04-26 09:31:22
"Good evening viewers, our special guest tonight is, 'none of your business,' from the Ministry of Truth.
Minister NYB, would you care to clarify certain concepts that people may be having difficulty with.
"My pleasure, we all know that 'Peace is War,' 'Freedom is constant Surveillance, and democracy is indefinite detention without charge, trial or due process.'
Yes, but how do those policies separate the administration from organised crime?
Well, the short answer is they don't, but you have forgotten the 52nd statute, 'CRIME IS LAW'
O, of course, how silly of me! (full story)

 AUSTERITY BULLSHIT: "Hard cuts needed to save budget ..." posted by Adam Creighton via sam, 2013-04-21 23:01:53
This AUSTERITY story is repeated by the corporate mass media in all western nations and if we remember the cogent words of Hitler and Goebbels, "repeat a lie often enough and people will believe it" -- AS THE MASSES BELIEVE IT TODAY! It's a croc of shit, just look at the profit figures for the major corporations over the past decade -- Transnationals and major Banks -- and the soaring wealth of the criminal 1% of society and you too will see that wealth is abundant; however, it is CLEARLY being stolen from its rightful owners, those that create it -- THE PEOPLE!
