Oz ABC 'Media Watch' Should Watch Itself!
Binoy Kampmark via justin, Wednesday, Nov 15 2017, 9:39pm
The program usually pokes fun, riddles and irks a fourth estate that has long given up the chase for verity. Media Watch, after years of weather beaten but reliable service, remains Australia’s only real source of genuine critical comment about journalistic practice and its poorer practices. Over the years, it has exposed fictions, unearthed myths and lampooned incompetence. (story and 1 image)

Why Science Says You Should Be Reading Small Independent Media
Jo Ellen Green Kaiser via jaxie, Wednesday, Nov 15 2017, 8:21pm
Trust in corporate news has plummeted over the past few years, however, trust in independent news is strong and growing -- hardly surprising in view of the blatant lies, misinformation and propaganda that issues like sewage from the corporate mass media.

Australia -- Homosexual Marriage and a Distracted, Nose-ringed CONSERVATIVE Nation
les, Tuesday, Nov 14 2017, 9:16pm
Australians, like their moronic, media-enslaved American cousins, have fallen for ultra-conservative values dressed in ‘radical’ clothes. Homosexual issues, which group comprise a tiny percentage of any population, have been used by conservative authoritarian forces to distract from the critical and major SOCIAL, ENVIRONMENTAL and FINANCIAL inequities and concerns that confront the overwhelming world MAJORITY, particularly Australians.

Iran's Leading Cleric Declares Psychedelics Halal, Acceptable
Phillip Smith via dulcie, Tuesday, Nov 14 2017, 12:44am
In a move barely noticed in the West, more than three years ago, Iran's Grand Ayatollah Rohani issued a formal legal ruling—a fatwa—declaring that the use of entheogens and psychedelics was permissible (ḥalāl) for Shi'a Muslims for purposes of treatment and spiritual growth. (story and 1 image)

Into the Afghan Abyss (Again)
Alfred W. McCoy via jess, Monday, Nov 13 2017, 10:09pm
After nine months of confusion, chaos, and cascading tweets, Donald Trump’s White House has finally made one thing crystal clear: the U.S. is staying in Afghanistan to fight and—so they insist—win. “The killers need to know they have nowhere to hide, that no place is beyond the reach of American might,” said the president in August, trumpeting his virtual declaration of war on the Taliban. Overturning Barack Obama’s planned (and stalled) drawdown in Afghanistan, Secretary of Defense James Mattis announced that the Pentagon would send 4,000 more soldiers to fight there, bringing American troop strength to nearly 15,000.

The House of Saud a Tinder Box Ready to Implode
tafiq, Monday, Nov 13 2017, 12:23pm
Numerous commentaries by experts on the recent arrests of multi-billionaire Saudi royals by the heir apparent dimwit pretender to the throne, prince Salman, yes the same imbecile that sparked the war in Yemen which he is losing, which has demonstrated to the world his complete ineptitudes and incompetence as a tactician and leader. However, nothing compares to the recent convulsions in the house of Saud precipitated by the same idiot prince, the Trump of the Middle East, in that a total idiot is on the loose causing all manner of grief which could easily see the house of Saud implode, as there are far too many billionaire princes and other relatives that fear for their fortunes and lives to make this absurd purge tenable.

On The Brink Of War
Abdel Bari Atwan via gail, Monday, Nov 13 2017, 2:58am
We should not let minor details such as Hariri’s resignation or the detention of [Saudi] princes and former ministers divert our attention from the real developments that are taking place in secret. Nor should we let these minor details distract us from the more dangerous phase that will follow Prince Mohammad bin Salman ‘purge’ on the domestic Saudi front. For such ‘purges’ are the preliminary move to scenarios for a war that may be the most dangerous in the region’s history. And we are not exaggerating here.

Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our [any] nation." - Edward Bernays

The Last Thing
jean, Sunday, Nov 5 2017, 8:53pm
It may surprise many but the last thing people wish to hear today is the TRUTH, which, as most westerners know, sets us free. But that is exactly the problem. Truth is challenging but propaganda and lies placate and help induce populations into ‘safe’ fantasy worlds comforted by numbers, which clearly is the preferred option as is apparent. Facing harsh reality which truth demands, is anathema to the majority living in a dreamworld -- the American population is a good example, for instance; Americans are so averse to reality/truth they have elevated a buffoon and pathological liar (a desired necessity for fantasists) to the highest office in the land, in which position he remains even though he is compromising the nation and people on a daily basis, BUT LIES are comforting, as they enable responsibility to be deferred.

Totalitarian Censorship Takes Next Step
Andre Damon via jess, Saturday, Nov 4 2017, 10:43pm
Wednesday’s hearings by the House and Senate Intelligence committees on “extremist” political views served as the occasion for members of Congress to urge technology companies to flagrantly violate the US Constitution by censoring political speech, carrying out mass surveillance, and muzzling journalists in pursuit of the government’s geopolitical aims.
