text The Democratic Majority of Australia has Woken! gail, Sunday, Jun 5 2016, 11:58pm
Indeed, average Aussies have been FORCED to withdraw support for the majors as they have been left behind with stagnant UN-viable wages, horrendous leapfrogging prices for everything, un-affordable housing, un-prosecuted corporate crime and fraud and a nation going backwards at speed. Who is responsible for the dismantling of our manufacturing base and placing thousands of workers on dole queues and allowing living standards to plummet? Answer, successive incompetent Lib/Lab governments, no-one else! The Reality is simple, ignore the people and nation to your very great cost, puppet majors.

Paper shuffling, financial parasite, Malcolm Turnbull image How Financial Parasites and Debt Bondage Destroy the Global Economy Michael Hudson via gus, Sunday, Jun 5 2016, 4:54am
This interview with leading economist Michael Hudson is highly relevant to Australia as the current prime minister, Malcolm Turnbull, made most of his millions working for Goldman Sachs and later as a merchant banker. He made his money 'paper shuffling,' exploiting the system, tax havens and insider investments/legal rorts, in other words, not from PRODUCTION. Furthermore, he has no experience whatsoever in working or understanding the dynamics of a production based real economy, as his feeble, slogan saturated rhetorical discourse indicates.

Bill Turnbull image The Tragedy of the Adversarial Two-Party Political System in Australia cass, Saturday, Jun 4 2016, 2:10am
Something not given enough focus and attention in the current federal election ‘fight’ between the two major Oz parties is the starkness and incredibly revealing way in which both parties have brazenly defined themselves, pause here, you may think this is obvious but it’s not, please read on.

woolieslogo_1.jpg image Woolworths Fined $9m for Cartel Price Fixing and Ripping Off Customers Michael Janda via jess, Friday, Jun 3 2016, 10:50am
Woolies caught yet again for ripping customers off, this time for cartel price fixing of laundry products. When will governments get serious with corporate fraud? $9 million is a drop in the ocean for these large corporate rogues. Malcolm Turnbull remains powerless to challenge his largest support base, the corporate and financial sectors -- after all, he is one of them! (story and 2 images)

Bill Shorten -- Integrity, what's that? I wanna be PM image Supermarket Duopolist Woolworths Caught up in SDA Union Treachery to Sell Out Workers Sam Clark and Dan Oakes via gail, Wednesday, Jun 1 2016, 12:46am
It is clear that the treacherous SDA union has taken its lead selling out Oz workers directly from former union boss Bill Shorten, who has been cited time and again for selling out workers in other industries. (story and 2 images)

coleswallsign.jpg image Coles Forced to Compensate Workers for $70m/annum Rip Off Ben Schneiders, Royce Millar and Nick Toscano via gail, Tuesday, May 31 2016, 11:55am
Supermarket duopolist Coles has admitted it underpaid workers and 'agreed,' in view of industrial relations laws, to compensate all workers that have been ripped off. Both 'slave-driving' Coles and the treacherous SDA union, which should be de-registered for supporting Coles, not workers, in the appeal to the Fair Work Commission have learned that deception doesn't pay in the long run. Shame on you Coles and shame on you SDA and Wesfarmers for this treachery. (story and 2 images)

Oz leaders doing what they're told by Washington at great (wasted) cost to the nation image America's Prospects Against The Russians And Chinese In World War III Dr Paul Craig Roberts, Saturday, May 28 2016, 8:09pm
The Saker reports that Russia is preparing for World War III, not because Russia intends to initiate aggression but because Russia is alarmed by the hubris and arrogance of the West, by the demonization of Russia, by provocative military actions by the West, by American interference in the Russian province of Chechnya and in former Russian provinces of Ukraine and Georgia, and by the absence of any restraint from Western Europe on Washington’s ability to foment war.

text The Oz Farcical and Idiotic Tragic Elections mitch, Saturday, May 28 2016, 3:39am
Richard Marles, opposition front bencher has called Barnaby Joyce an “absolute idiot” for linking the flow of boat people from Indonesia to the cessation of live cattle exports. Joyce claimed that Indonesia uses boat people politically, and guess what? He’s right, though not in the appropriate context. The (Asian) Indonesians are acutely aware that ‘the boats’ are a political raw nerve in Oz so they exploit it whenever they are peeved with any local policy – as history CLEARLY indicates.

text Malcolm Turnbull’s “Jobs and Growth” BIG LIE! baz, Wednesday, May 25 2016, 10:52am
Surely Aussies are not as stupid as yanks, which population constantly falls for empty and meaningless slogans. So let’s put Turnbull’s HUGE LIE to the test.

text Americans: The New Serfs A Conquered People Dr Paul Craig Roberts via stan, Monday, May 23 2016, 11:05pm
As readers know, I have seen some optimism in voters support for Trump and Sanders as neither are members of the corrupt Republican and Democratic political establishments. Members of both political establishments enrich themselves by betraying the American people and serving only the interest of the One Percent. The American people are being driven into the ground purely for the sake of more mega-billions for a handful of super-rich people.

text Why ALL Doctrines and Ideologies FAIL sonny, Monday, May 23 2016, 11:27am
Indeed, the proof is in your face. Religion is a failure. Capitalism and Socialism are failures, all doctrinaire, encoded superimpositions on human nature inevitably fail, WHY? Can you guess, because deliberative thought would lead you astray, understand? Doctrines and Ideologies are the fruits of thought and just look at the blood curdling ‘success’ rates of thought-out doctrines on how we should live and structure our lives/societies.

'Bill Turnbull,' neither is fit to lead the nation image Tinder jess, Monday, May 23 2016, 2:22am
Australia is a land of physical extremes, it is beset by raging bush fires, infernos, more accurately, and the cause, tinder, dry dead undergrowth, or fire fuel, which must be regularly burnt off to avoid raging infernos. A social analogy can be immediately drawn, the social equivalent is disillusionment with the political status quo, the population sees through the entire ruse today. The number of Aussies fed up with Oz mainstream politics is staggering. (story and 1 image)

text American Propaganda: what REALITY Says justin, Sunday, May 22 2016, 12:28am
NATO is increasing its military forces in preparation for an illusory aggression by Russia in Europe and the Baltic States -- Putin has refused to play ball as he shamelessly did with Bush, which allowed NATO/US to install ‘defensive’ missile systems along Russia’s European land borders, which affords the west a tactical proximity advantage.

text Strike at the Root stacey, Saturday, May 21 2016, 12:17am
The world is fraught with seemingly insurmountable problems today not the least of which is a tiny cabal of mega-wealthy psychopathic interests (mega-bankers and transnational corporations) that have effectively taken control (via money) of western governments and have inflicted their doctrine of permanent war, population containment, stagnant/depressed wages, pan surveillance and the erosion of liberties and freedoms, which were once taken for granted. They do this with scant regard for human life, the environment, or anything else while they engage in destructive wars and economic policies, which are tearing the social fabric and world apart – clearly we a dealing with homicidal psychopaths, as social injustice and needless wars only end in ruin for all including this mega-wealthy elite.
