 Controlling the international flow of money posted by staff report via ben, 2013-02-03 10:00:34
The recent past saw the religious elevation of free market or laissez faire capitalism punctured by reality and collapse in 2008; laissez faire capitalism was then renamed the global economic crisis -- so much for unregulated capitalism. (full story)

 Perfection is Incapable of Creating Imperfection posted by jax, 2013-02-02 11:08:24
The title refers to a game of logic I used to play on my religious teachers while I was attending high school. I would put it to them in the form of a question and then refer to the world outside and social history, which is to put it mildly, imperfect to the point of psychopathology. (full story)

  Japan Ignores Oz government demand for whaling fleet to leave Oz Southern Waters posted by baz, 2013-02-01 23:04:22
Environment Minister Tony 'no balls' Burke, lodged an official complaint to Tokyo regarding Japanese whaling ships encroaching on Oz economic zone waters. The complaint, which no doubt was a huge source of mirth to the Japanese, was immediately and contemptuously ignored -- there is a price to pay for shameless cowardice and kowtowing to America's every criminal whim, including allowing US occupation forces on Australian sovereign soil.

 Criminal US Interventionists Sanction Continuing Israeli Strikes on Sovereign Syria posted by staff report via zac, 2013-02-01 21:54:50
Israel has attacked multiple targets in Syria after its initial strike on a science research centre says U.S. intelligence official. He also added that the White House gave Israel a 'green light' to carry out more such attacks in the future. So there you have it, an enduring criminal partnership that extends back to the criminal attack on the USS Liberty through to Mossad involvement in 9/11 (face existing facts) to attacks on Syria today. As stated in the sub-heading, it all stops when cowardly and corrupt Russia and China decide to enforce existing International Law. Until that point in time, China and Russia are clearly criminally complicit. (full story)

 Popular American Satirists/Comedians Serve Elite Interests posted by jess, 2013-02-01 12:03:48
Before howls of protest begin allow me to qualify; if political comedy in America is not supported by strong accusation, social agitation and demands for justice then it serves the interests of the powers or ruling plutocracy. (full story)

 When Truth, Moral Conscience and the Courage of a Woman tried to Stop a War posted by Ray McGovern via sal, 2013-02-01 00:13:33
The year 2013 is the one-decade anniversary of the U.S. political/media system’s failure to stop a criminal President from launching a war of aggression on Iraq. It was a shameful time when only a few brave individuals, like the U.K.’s Katharine Gun, did the right thing, ex-CIA analyst Ray McGovern reports. (full story)

 Pilger's 'The War You Don't See' posted by dasha, 2013-01-31 22:12:57
This excellent, must see, doco has been comprehensively removed from Google's youtube -- typical -- we can always count on Google to censor and make every effort to deprive the masses of accurate alternative views and news. It will remain on this site for download and dissemination unless John Pilger himself requests that it is taken down -- I'm sure that many citizens impressed with the revealing content and measured approach of this documentary will support John by purchasing a copy. That said we would make an emphatic statement regarding copyright, as we are all writers on this site. The creator of the 'text' -- which includes image and sound -- is the sole copyright holder of his/her creation/production above all other considerations and claims by third parties. (full story)

 Drone war inquiry -- The UN confirms client status to the US posted by judd, 2013-01-30 23:58:41
After over a decade of illegal Drone strikes against innocent civilians and sovereign states, the UN today announced it will conduct an inquiry into the use of Drones -- it's ten years too late but better late than never if it's a thorough and impartial investigation; yea, that's a big "if" considering that Obama's first signed Drone strike order resulted in the deaths of innocent women and children in Pakistan, a sovereign nation not at war with the US. So numerous were the breaches of international law and war crimes conventions that day one wonders why the UN remained blind to these illegalities for almost a decade. Could it be that the UN is really a client institution to US Imperial ambitions -- it certainly looks that way, doesn't it, Mr Ban Ki 'lackey' Moon? (full story)

Following vanguard nations -- US, UK, Australia and New Zealand -- pushing for Internet censorship, the EU is soon to join the anti-freedom of speech league of totalitarian oriented nations. (full story)

Oz city to stop fluoridating water by popular demand posted by mengel, 2013-01-29 22:30:31
The north Australian city of Cairns is to cease poisoning its citizens via the water supply. The socially and politically enlightened Mayor of Cairns stated that "involuntary 'mass medication' must not proceed without community consent." The people of Cairns now have a choice, to use Fluoride via the many toothpaste and other products available on supermarket shelves or to avoid this known toxin altogether. Well done people of Cairns; it is no secret that healthy teeth are the result of improved diet and good dental hygiene practices. (full story)

Choose Life posted by ben, 2013-01-29 10:45:30
The past few decades have seen the rise of conservatism around the globe; the result is fundamentalist ideologies prevail and the world is what it is today -- a grotesque expression/portrait of ultra-analism, control freaking (violence) gone mad but it serves to teach the sane few the folly of formulated prescriptions superimposed on a fluid universal medium, existence! Yes, in case you hadn’t noticed, the infinite universe is in a state of constant FLUX -- that means nothing remains the same for an instant, how could it, infinity implies kinesis constant movement expansion. If infinity ‘stopped’ it would provide a reference point and become measurable or finite. (full story)

Screwed by the PRIVATELY OWNED Global Reserve Banking System posted by Ellen Brown via sal, 2013-01-29 05:55:39
“Some people think that the Federal Reserve Banks are United States Government institutions. They are private monopolies which prey upon the people of these United States for the benefit of themselves and their foreign customers; foreign and domestic speculators and swindlers; and rich and predatory money lenders.” -- Louis McFadden, Chairman of the House Banking and Currency Committee.
