 Failure of Government is cause of ALL social/political failures posted by quincey, 2012-12-11 20:27:57
Make absolutely NO MISTAKE -- responsibility for the economic collapse of 2008 can be traced directly to the failure of government to REGULATE and protect society; notwithstanding existing safeguards were removed by bought politicians serving their wealthy masters. After Bill Clinton and every US president thereafter sold their souls to the Corporatists and Plutocrats all social/political/economic FAILURES can be directly attributable to the failure of GOVERNMENT.

 Google avoids tax on £10bn posted by Steve Nolan via sal, 2012-12-11 10:54:00

MIT Research Confirms America as Undisputed World's Leading Civilian Killing Nation posted by jess, 2012-12-10 22:57:04
The above 'distinction' also carries by direct implication the status of world's leading TERRORIST nation -- "you won't see it [drone missile] coming," (Obama) "we came, we saw, he died," (Clinton). Not that this sordid and shameful REALITY is hidden from clear view; it is a KNOWN all over the WORLD. So what exactly prevents the American people confronting this REALITY? A pathology of INVERSION and simple pathological DENIAL of what is PAINFULLY confronting -- becoming everything that America supposedly hates is extremely difficult to accept for the majority of Americans, the level of HYPOCRISY is so great it is mind-numbing!

Fortitude -- the missing crucial ingredient posted by justin, 2012-12-09 23:55:03
The rather lame and timid American ALTERNATIVE media recently announced yet another media production revealing what most thinking people are already acutely aware of -- that America has been hijacked by Corporatists and a tiny moneyed criminal elite. The latest contribution is a video appropriately titled "Heist." It follows previous lame -- we wouldn't want to attract the wrath of the criminal elite -- productions, 'Inside Job' and 'Too Big to Fail.' (full story)

Syria and the Chemical Weapon Excuse to Invade posted by judd, 2012-12-09 07:36:41
The question is not whether the US and NATO will intervene in Syria based on yet another fabrication -- 10 years of literally getting away with mass murder almost guarantees it -- but whether COWARDLY Russia and China will allow it. We've seen these two gutless superpowers cower into their respective corners before; Yugoslavia is a fragmented tragic joke today largely because its powerful 'allies' Russia and China abandoned it during its time of GREATEST need!

 Useful Idiots and co-opted 'Hackers' posted by kaye, 2012-12-09 01:04:49
After the FBI infiltrated, arrested and placed on trial the naive vanguard of REAL Anonymous and Anti-Sec hackers, what has SINCE emerged from these groups is a bunch of CIA/FBI hackers wearing masks. Mission accomplished, ANONYMOUS has been co-opted. You will note that WikiLeaks' recent material has all been supplied by this 'new' group of government hackers. Assange's credentials speak very loudly for themselves, as we will highlight. (full story)

 [Bradley] Manning Up posted by Randall Amster via may, 2012-12-08 01:58:16
Whatever one’s views about his alleged actions, you would need a pretty hard shell not to be moved by the case of Bradley Manning. Hero to some, traitor to others, this diminutive soldier has endured an unprecedented level of mistreatment, languishing in a largely incommunicado pretrial state for more than two years and facing repeated episodes of humiliation and degradation. Compounding this case is Manning’s status as a gay solider, for which he had experienced repercussions well before gaining international notoriety as a purported Wikileaks source for some of the whistleblowing site’s most damning allegations about governmental and military machinations around the world.

The free world is often bemused when Americans refer to themselves as exceptional in a positive light; we have read and heard the expression countless times in the American media but what is specifically 'exceptional' about Americans, let's take a rational look? (full story)
