  Our World Ended Long Before Mayan Cycle Ended posted by zed, 2012-12-22 08:30:50
Smartarses world-wide continue to poke fun at the apparent non-millennial event of the Mayan long cycle completion on 21 December. Materialists everywhere are having a grand ol' time pouring scorn on alternative new age wankers and tree huggers, but to be sure, the Mayans never predicted the end of the world -- a sensationalist western new age author attempting to rake in money from book sales is reputed to have started the rumour of the end of the world coinciding with the end of the Mayan calendar -- 'space cadets,' be advised!

 Connect the Dots and it all Becomes Clear posted by stacy, 2012-12-18 11:00:10
People are beginning to realise that the senseless violence that is pervading American society is not an accidental phenomenon or the result of behavioural aberrations in an otherwise healthy society; rather, one-pointed self-centred wilfulness and the violence associated with that behaviour is the rule in America today. Proof in the form of an extra-judicial Presidential 'kill list' testifies to the fact! [With that example would any rational person really be surprised by the increasing number of senseless shootings by unbalanced citizens today?] (full story)

It is established fact that imprecise (therefore terrorist) Drone warfare increased ten-fold under the leadership of Obama, a most dubious distinction that will haunt him forever in the historical RECORD. Obama has rightfully earned his name as the 'Drone War president.' (full story)

 Massive Totalitarian Surveillance Project Underway in USA posted by Julia Angwin via sal, 2012-12-14 23:20:59
It should be stated at the outset that this 'new' technological development has been in the works for some time and was entirely, almost mathematically, predictable -- Moore's (computing) law, digital economies of scale, huge cost reductions and other nefarious factors made it a certainty. That said it's just another digital resource for hackers but it's a REAL nightmare for slave society -- you were warned lamers and cowards, now suck on it! (full story)
