 Oz Senate Inquiry into Tax Avoidance by Multi-national and Large Corporations
jess, Wednesday, Apr 8 2015, 7:32am
Google, Apple and Microsoft appeared before an Australian Senate inquiry today for massive tax avoidance. And the most outstanding initial features of this inquiry was the smugness, arrogance, and contempt company chiefs displayed toward the elected representatives of the people, which translates as undisguised contempt for all battling Australians who pay their (often large) due in taxes.

 How America and the Western World Became an Oligarchy
Ellen Brown via jace, Tuesday, Apr 7 2015, 10:23pm
According to a new study from Princeton University, American democracy no longer exists. Using data from over 1,800 policy initiatives from 1981 to 2002, researchers Martin Gilens and Benjamin Page concluded that rich, well-connected individuals on the political scene now steer the direction of the country, regardless of – or even against – the will of the majority of voters. America’s political system has transformed from a democracy into an oligarchy, where power is wielded by wealthy elites.

The Most Bloodthirsty, Murderous Religion on the Planet
justin, Tuesday, Apr 7 2015, 10:06am
Take a guess, Islam right? WRONG, in upper case! Christianity has no peer as the most murderous religion on the planet no other religion comes close to its record of blood, guts, inhumanity, torture, constant wars and mass murder. Any good historical text would verify this for those still able to research the truth and arrive at realistic conclusions.

Sanction and Divest Parasitic Corporations and Mega-Banks
billie, Monday, Apr 6 2015, 10:13pm
The absurd mass media discourse that myopically sees only debt and austerity for the masses is a ruse, a distraction designed to lead the mindless, unthinking masses to believe there’s no money available and everyone, excluding of course the mega-wealthy elites responsible for propagating this giant lie, must accept harsh belt-tightening measures in order to survive -- nothing could be further from the truth.

Rupert Murdoch Siphons $4.5b from His Australian businesses virtually Tax-Free
Michael West via jaxie, Sunday, Apr 5 2015, 8:33pm
Now if we add that amount to Gina Rinehart's and other local and international mega-corporate Tax Avoiders like Apple and Google etc, the government -- the Australian nation -- is being robbed of trillions of dollars in revenue per annum, which clearly accounts for the budget shortfall. Blaming and then targeting the people for this shortfall is merely a 'blame the victim' game that tax avoiding elites play so well. The current failed Oz PM, Tony Abbott, who stole office with lies, deceit and Murdoch's help, is left in no-man's land as Abbott is loath to restore a FAIR taxation system for fear of losing the only support he has. Abbott promised the plutocrats he would implement THEIR policies and follow THEIR AGENDA in exchange for their support -- which he has unsuccessfullly tried to achieve by pushing/forcing unrepresentative policies through parliament.

Thinly Disguised New Law Designed to Target Hackers and Hacktivists
staff report via jazq, Saturday, Apr 4 2015, 9:38pm
One of the first things kiddie hackers learn is how to direct the source of their attacks to other parties, known as 'spoofing' in the scene. Doing so is simplicity itself as the nature of digital traffic makes it virtually impossible to trace a professional hack. This is very well known even among fifth rate hackers that traitorously work for the State. This new law therefore allows governments to blame anyone they choose, another State, person, or entity, of illegal hacking. Everyone in the underground is aware of the ruse, however, the cardinal rule of anonymity maintains security, so those seeking notoriety like Julian Assange beware, fame is anathema to hackers. In view of the reality this absurdly broad new law is nothing more than an extension of police State oppression. Be aware!

The IMF Proposes The Appropriation of Household Savings
via james, Friday, Apr 3 2015, 12:15am
First reported by Forbes, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) dropped a bomb in its October Fiscal Monitor Report. The report paints a dire picture for high-debt nations that fail to aggressively “mobilize domestic revenue,” which is code for “aggressive taxation of citizens.” It goes on to build a case for drastic measures and recommends a series of escalating income and consumption tax increases – culminating in the direct confiscation of private assets.

Journalistic Bias and Citizen Journalism
jim, Wednesday, Apr 1 2015, 10:00am
In the context of reporting the facts all journalists should maintain their impartiality, however, that is where it ends, partiality or bias in journalistic analysis and commentary is not distortion, as the public has the facts and is able to arrive at their own conclusions.

“Data Retention,” Australia’s Keystone Cops and Major Party Sell-outs
Binoy Kampmark via sally, Tuesday, Mar 31 2015, 10:31pm
The first very revealing indicator of political non-representation is that BOTH major puppet parties passed this Bill into Law without adequate scrutiny or at least some proof that this Bill prevents crime. I refer to the recent Martin Place seige as evidence of a complete failure by police and other regulatory agencies to prevent a criminal action by a felon that was known and monitored by local spy agencies and the State police. And now these incompetent imbeciles have been given more material to create evermore havoc on our lives -- the details of every citizen's metadata private communications and whereabouts (GPS aware smartphones) is now readily avaialble without warrants to imbecile police and our boy scout spy agencies -- God help Oz!

Ex-pat Aussie working with Washington Confirms World is less Safe since US initiated War on Terror

In a recent interview on the Oz ABC '7.30' program, Dave Kilcullen, who is remembered for his animated involvement with the criminal neocons and the illegal invasion of Iraq, appears to have finally come to grips with reality – America has done nothing but aggravate conflicts around the world and the result is the world is a much unsafer place, thanks Dave for at least admitting the Truth to the Australian public!

History forgotten is History Repeated
jaxie, Monday, Mar 30 2015, 9:42am
I remember a history class in my junior high school years describing the horrific treatment that Jews received in Nazi Germany – how was it possible? Germany was a socially progressive advanced society on par with, and in many instances surpassing, other European nations, indeed, the population was civilised and advanced, however, it couldn’t and didn’t survive complete control of the mass media under the helmsmanship of sinister genius Dr Goebbels, and that is a lesson for America and other western nations today – information control is mind control.

Unprovoked Military Aggression in the Middle East – Goodbye rule of Law
justin, Sunday, Mar 29 2015, 10:36pm
The unprovoked attacks on Yemen (Iran) by US vassals in the region and the mute response of the now obviously partial UN marks a watershed moment in international lawlessness. So many international laws and charters have been breached by this unjustified, lawless attack it defies reason. But that is the point the world has entered a new very obvious, dangerous phase, outright undisguised, gangsterism, where the rule of violence and destruction prevail over civilised law and order – and that spells disaster for the entire WORLD.

AIIB: Australia to sign up for Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank
staff report via baz, Saturday, Mar 28 2015, 9:17pm
In possibly the severest public relations blow to the US, the formerly ultra-servile Oz government defies Washington's pleas and joins the AIIB. Oz joins many Western European nations that also defied US requests not to join -- the world will never be the same again, a massive power shift away from US economic domination has just taken place!
Regardless of the spin the Murdoch press creates below i.e. the (irrelevant) inclusion of the US controlled World Bank and Asia Development Bank, the writing is on the wall. It is little wonder the USA is now desperately attempting to lure (Yemen/Iran) Russia and China into a nuclear exchange in the Middle East. The coup de gras will be if America is forced to join before the deadline on 31 March -- we hope America's rustic pride prevents it.

 Eve of Destruction
Barry McGuire via sal, Saturday, Mar 28 2015, 8:38pm
The socially connected and active culture of the 60's delayed what is occurring at speed today. The responsibility for recent calamitous events falls squarely on the shoulders of today's narcissistic 'me' culture. Well, confront the world you now face, you pathetic, self-obsessed, digital slaves. "There'll be no one to save, with the world in a grave." (story and 1 audio file)

Intolerable
rees, Saturday, Mar 28 2015, 3:09am
It simply is intolerable for any sane, civilised, peace loving human being to support a nation that adheres to a “perpetual war” ideology as its primary form of dealing with a wide range of existential issues/demands. Civilised, SANE societies base their existence and economies on peaceful production to enhance the lives of citizens – any nation that follows the most destructive form of activity known to man, WAR, though it temporarily profits an extreme minority, should never be supported by any sane person or nation -- that is self-evident. Yet the unfortunate reality for us all is that the world’s leading civilian killing, warring nation, AMERICA, continues to be supported. Clearly this situation is nothing short of INSANITY, as the culmination of “perpetual war” is NEVER peace and stability but absolute destruction – basic REASON dictates as much. (story and 1 image)
