Google, your data suppression methods are obvious, easily recorded, abysmally inept and generally pathetic.

The simple fact that you actively engage in suppressing this and other alternative news sites means we have won and TRUTH will prevail in the end.

Corporate stooge, Tony Abbott image A Viable Alternative to Banker/Corporate Captured Governments is urgently Required justin, Tuesday, Jul 14 2015, 12:36pm
Western politics today has become a means and end in itself and the people/representative democracy have been left out of the picture, yet people constantly vote for the best of the worst options rather than reject both. (story and 1 image)

text A Dose of Reality re: Eurozone Instability cyd, Tuesday, Jul 14 2015, 1:00am
The US/NATO has its tentacles and bases across Europe, which have recently been enhanced by a larger US military presence fearing social unrest due to the Greek 'crisis' -- the important factor to note here is that this force is a UNIFIED broad-reaching military force. The so-called peoples 'leftist parties' are scattered throughout southern European nations -- the important fact to note is, they are NOT UNITED under a single 'banner' and are of course unarmed. Now in the event of social unrest and a conflict between a UNITED military force and divided, unarmed leftists that live in a dreamworld, who would you imagine would prevail in a conflict? Exactly!

text US Military Prepared for Social Unrest in Eurozone Finian Cunningham via jake, Monday, Jul 13 2015, 11:50pm
The capitulation of the Greek government to Berlin-led finance capital is a daunting watershed moment. It marks the “disciplining” of the wider European electorate under corporatist financier rule. What is happening in Greece is a forerunner for other European Union states.

text THE Problem is Moral Disintegration NOT Oligarchs and Plutocrats stacey, Monday, Jul 13 2015, 11:31am
I have just completed reading the bleating of commentators such as Pilger of the UK and Hedges of the US; both writers are currently discoursing on the topic of the day, the tragedy of Greece’s capitulation to neoliberal greed and plutocratic standover tactics yet both commentators easily fall prey to these forces by inadvertently depicting their enemies, the oligarchs and plutocrats, as winners and to counter these radical, truly revolutionary forces both writers offer a nineteenth century ideological solution, to “fight,” physically [implied].

text Agreement reached - Alexis Tsipras Caves to Unreasonable Demands Dow Jones newswires and Amber Plum via stavros, Monday, Jul 13 2015, 3:32am
How any self-respecting national leader could agree to the terms imposed on Greece by Eurozone leaders is simply beyond comprehension -- especially considering a far more viable alternative existed. Greeks have just become the shit-eaters of Europe. National assets handed over as surety will no doubt be appropriated by Eurozone financial apparatuses leaving Greeks slaves in their own nation

Useless, Bill Shorten image Labor has NO HOPE with Shorten as Leader darcy, Monday, Jul 13 2015, 2:57am
Bill Shorten shouldn’t resign over his compromising performance at the Royal Commission, he should resign simply because he clearly is not up to the task of defeating pathologically lying, divisive and incompetent Abbott who continues to target the vulnerable in the community while allowing his elitist masters a free ride, especially on TAX issues.

text The ‘German group’ is forcing Greece out of Eurozone stavros, Sunday, Jul 12 2015, 8:45pm
Draconian preconditions to a desperately needed bailout for Greece have been set by Eurozone leaders – they amount to the most outrageous and humiliating attack on any sovereign nation in Europe in peace time.

text 'Grexit' likely as Eurozone leaders fail to reach Agreement on Greece Ian Traynor via stavros, Sunday, Jul 12 2015, 2:08am
Germany leads the exit hawks and is demanding that Greece is booted from the Eurozone for five years, however, Germany also wishes to gut Greece of its national assets at the same time -- impossible! A last ditch meeting has been scheduled for Sunday and the US will play a major role though behind the scenes. If a suitable agreement is not reached then clearly it's goodbye Eurozone, though it may take a little time.

text The Plan jude, Friday, Jul 10 2015, 12:06pm
In the eighties the global (banker) ruling elite implemented a plan that has far exceeded their wildest dreams – debt-slavery for citizens and nations as a means to contain, enslave and plunder. Issue easy credit to indebt everyone and depress real wages while incrementally increasing costs. This strategy also applied to nations but on a macro scale.

obama_toasting_dead_babies.jpg image HOLD FIRM GREECE – global Banking elite sends in errand boy Obama to strike a ‘compromise’ george, Wednesday, Jul 8 2015, 1:12am
Immediately after Obama declared the neocon doctrine of ‘perpetual war’ for his masters, the banking and corporate elite, true to his servile form, White House errand boy has intervened in the Euro crisis to force a settlement between creditors and debtor Greece; however, as is plainly obvious, Obama has been sent on an errand for Wall Street and European banking interests that fear a domino effect if Greece defaults, leaves the Eurozone and embraces the ‘Silk’ group of powerhouse nations, which would benefit Europe far more than the war mongering Americans.

trojanhorse.jpg image A Trojan Horse in the Home of Austerity Pepe Escobar via sam, Tuesday, Jul 7 2015, 3:50am
Odysseus/Ulysses took 10 years to go back home after the Trojan War. His descendants are now making history in the original home of democracy. And they are not going anywhere. They have already placed their Trojan horse in the home of intolerance and austerity. There's no turning back from restoring dignity. And if the Muses rule it, it will be back to the drachma.

text Global SOLIDARITY for Greece and Real Democracy Owen Jones via jon, Monday, Jul 6 2015, 3:53pm
By implementing participatory democracy Greece has overcome the first major hurdle in its pursuit of freedom from financial oppression and debt SLAVERY. Make no mistake, an economic WAR is being waged against Greece, its government and DEMOCRACY as I write. However, the first battle has been won by the people of Greece, which rejected the cruel, demeaning and ruinous demands of the global banking cartels.

boundchains.jpg image The Creation of the Euro was designed to Debt-enslave European Nations/People jude, Monday, Jul 6 2015, 11:57am
As we all should be aware the ability of a nation to create its own currency ENSURES political and economic sovereignty, as that nation is able to control the varying needs of monetary supply to counter various economic pressures that periodically eventuate. In other words, national currency creation protects a nation by allowing it to meet economic/fiscal challenges while maintaining its all important SOVEREIGNTY.

Yanis Varoufakis, Finance Minister image Our NO is a Majestic, big YES to a Democratic, Rational Europe -- UPDATED. Yanis Varoufakis via sally, Monday, Jul 6 2015, 1:29am
On the 25th of January, dignity was restored to the people of Greece.

In the five months that intervened since then, we became the first government that dared raise its voice, speaking on behalf of the people, saying NO to the damaging irrationality of our extend-and-pretend ‘Bailout Program’. (story and 1 image)
