 US-China Relations: The Pentagon versus High Tech posted by Prof. James Petras via jess, 2015-09-20 09:08:14
Step by step, Washington is inexorably setting up a major provocation against China. Until now, the Obama regime tightened a military encirclement of China, expanding its armed forces agreements with Japan, the Philippines and Australia. In addition, it has promoted the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPP), a regional trade agreement which openly excludes China. (full story)

UNITE: Hoping beyond Hope posted by jude, 2015-09-20 09:02:19
The WORLD, for decades, has been suffering from the widest wealth disparity in modern history. The masses are exploited to the hilt while PARASITIC elites have never had so good. Civilian-killing, elite created wars for profit rage constantly around the globe while fat cats enjoy the benefits of their blood money and ill-gotten gains. (full story)

  Turnbull makes it Plain No Relief for Average Aussies, the Democratic Majority posted by bruce, 2015-09-18 22:55:03
True to form, ‘new’ PM Malcolm Turnbull has stated that he will work hand in glove with the elite big end of town to implement ‘his’ policies, which of course disadvantage the majority and favour the elite minority. By consequence these policies would add increased financial pressure and hardship on abused (by Abbott) average Australians. So there it is, more bull, deception, callous disregard and exploitation of average Australians by Turnbull! (full story)

General Petraeus Calls For Recruiting Al Qaeda posted by Bill Van Auken via stan, 2015-09-17 07:46:01
Last week, US officials once again marked the anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on New York City and Washington with solemn speeches vowing a never-ending war on terrorism. President Barack Obama spoke to US troops at Fort Meade, Maryland about “significant threats coming from terrorist organizations and a terrorist ideology,” while US Defense Secretary Ashton Carter vowed at a Pentagon ceremony that “terrorists will not escape the long arm and the hard fist of American justice.” (full story)

 Malcolm Turnbull, “member for Goldman Sachs …” posted by ned, 2015-09-15 11:09:13
is how Kevin Rudd once referred to Turnbull in parliament who was also a former private banker and personal lawyer to plutocrat Kerry Packer, so it really isn’t too difficult to predict the type of elite serving, conservative government to come, well at least not for honest, fair dinkum, alternative media journos. But alas, the mass media fraternity, including the ABC, is already running with the spin, which reduces to how wonderful Turnbull will be for the ‘economy’ and how popular he is with Labor voters, well yea, for those that are unable to review history and assess formative patterns of behaviour.

 Bye, Bye, Tony Abbott! posted by darcy, 2015-09-14 11:28:32
Earlier this evening Australia’s worst performing PM in living memory was dumped by a party that clearly should have acted sooner; Abbott’s two years of non-government, characterised by short term tricks, slogans, outright lies and his pathetic attempts to mesmerise the public rather than perform all contributed to his demise. Abbott and his loyal stooges never ceased blaming the former government for THEIR woeful performance and it was revealing to note that his last statement before the spill also elicited another comparison with the former government. CLEARLY, Abbott’s mindset is locked in opposition mode not ruling mode, the reason was/is obvious, Abbott has no notion of how to govern in his own right, notwithstanding he is, as former PM Paul Keating put it, an ‘idiot and dunce.’ (full story)

Strategic Info Wars: Syria, Russia and the Balkans posted by Andrew Korybko via stan, 2015-09-13 20:13:28
Russia has taken the lead in supporting Syria this summer, actively initiating efforts to bring a diplomatic resolution to the country’s crisis and assemble an inclusive anti-ISIL coalition. The rapid pace at which it’s working is due in large part to the looming specter of a joint American-Turkish invasion force which hangs ominously over the Mideast. Disturbed at the success that Russia has had so far in reaching out to the US’ traditional Mideast allies, as well as that staying power of the Syrian Arab Army in holding firm against the latest onslaughts against it, the US commanded its media proxies to initiate an intense information war against Syria, hoping to both break the back of its resistance and complicate Russian efforts to assist it.

 World’s Biggest Dunce Leader, Tony Abbott posted by darcy, 2015-09-12 23:53:15
After the first leadership spill in conservative ranks, grossly incompetent leader Tony Abbott managed to survive on the proviso that he would change and improve his performance after 18 months of deplorable non-government and the usual disconnect that conservatives display toward the people.

Europe’s Elections: A Coming Storm? posted by Conn M. Hallinan via jill, 2015-09-12 01:21:00
Between now and next April, four members of the European Union (EU) will hold national elections that will go a long ways toward determining whether the 28-member organization will continue to follow an economic model that has generated vast wealth for a few, widespread misery for many, and growing income inequality. The choice is between an almost religious focus on the “sin” of debt and the “redemption” of austerity, as opposed to a re-calibration toward economic stimulus and social welfare. (full story)
