text US Illegally Invades Syria And Warns Russia, which is Legally Assisting a Sovereign Nation Eric Zuesse via shirl, Tuesday, Aug 23 2016, 11:55pm
On Monday, August 22nd, the United States government — which demands the overthrow of the internationally-recognized-as-legal government of Syria — officially announced that America’s military forces in Syria will continue to occupy Syrian land, no matter what the Syrian government says, and will shoot down any Syrian planes that fly over U.S. forces there.

text Media Induced Illegal Wars John Pilger via jess, Tuesday, Aug 23 2016, 11:14pm
The exoneration of a man accused of the worst crimes of genocide made no headlines in the West. Neither the BBC nor CNN covered it. The Guardian allowed a brief commentary. Such a rare official admission was buried or suppressed, unlike the vile, untrue, media saturation of false accusations that US/NATO victim Slobodan Milosevic received when he was targeted for removal, falsely accused of heinous crimes and placed on trial in a politicised court by US/NATO forces. Milosevic latter died in prison before his name was cleared. Admitting fault by the West would explain too much about how the rulers of the world rule. Milosevic's fate today constitutes not only a war crime committed by the West but his arrest and trial breaches numerous international laws regarding the sovereignty of States/nations and highlights the gross illegality of 'regime change'.

You must be joking! image Growing Up Insane in America William Hawes via shirl, Sunday, Aug 21 2016, 1:17am
The current state of American politics must make us question whether any of our leaders in the Beltway can be described as “grown-ups”, i.e., fully mature and sane individuals. Between the endless war crimes, corporate corruption, lobbyists who bribe congressmen and write legislation, and the ineptitude of federal entities who are supposed to protect our health such as the FDA, EPA, and CDC, it would appear that leaders in all three branches of government, as well as the leaders of the corporate world, are either insane or suffer from various psychological disorders as well as suffering from a type of collective dementia/delusion, the common denominator of which complaints, being narcissistic self-focus and an utter lack of empathy for the other, or respect for the earth, environment.

Which mission was that, anyone could ask, as all America has accomplished is one disaster after another since it began its criminal push to militarily control the world (fat chance)? Yet not one lying neocon war criminal has been held to account for the needless millions of innocent war dead -- give the world a break, psychopathic dreamboats! (story and 1 image)

text Impaired Recall jess, Thursday, Aug 18 2016, 11:38pm
No, the title is not a movie, it’s a fact/reality. Today, the mainstream media is in the business of misinformation overload. The result is that media consumers suffer from memory short circuits, usually to the point that memories are wiped clean every 24 hours. If anyone doubts this new social phenomenon then simply try and recall the time when Obama normalised mafia murder tactics by making allowances for the president to compile secret ‘kill lists’ and then murder anyone anywhere on the planet who was/is on the hit list. To say these tactics and actions are illegal is gross understatement, yet Obama today is able to commit the most horrendous crimes with impunity. Previous, now aged generations, stand horrified at the complete lack of moral fibre today’s generations openly display.

coles4.jpg imageaudioPDF Document Australian Corporations Overrun by Foreign Executives and Their Toxic FOREIGN Policies employee, Wednesday, Aug 17 2016, 4:40am
Indeed, any Australian citizen that has had occasion to legitimately complain against any local corporation is aware of a new un-Australian culture of denial, stalling, blaming the victim and consciously making every effort to avoid responsibility for policy failures and other offences against consumers, employees and the public. And so it is with major supermarket COLES -- a Wesfarmers enterprise -- which company has been and continues to be under the executive management of Brits and other foreigners for decades. Now please note, the emphasis on “foreign/er” is only to highlight the lack of knowledge and familiarity with TRADITIONAL AUSTRALIAN CULTURAL VALUES, most notably, the FAIR GO!

text The Normalisation of Deviance In Corporate Culture and Government Nicolas J S Davies via jaxie, Monday, Aug 15 2016, 11:24pm
Sociologist Diane Vaughan coined the term “normalization of deviance” as she was investigating the explosion of the Challenger space shuttle in 1986. She used it to describe how the social culture at NASA fostered a disregard for rigorous, physics-based safety standards, effectively creating new, lower de facto standards that came to govern actual NASA operations and led to catastrophic and deadly failures.

“I’m afraid the election is going to be rigged,” Donald Trump told voters in Ohio and Sean Hannity on Fox News. And that hit a nerve. [Note that Trump uses future tense, however, it is already known that the System IS rigged -- I refer to the election of 'dubya' Bush over Al Gore and the electoral fraud in Florida.] (story and 1 image)

text At What Cost to the People? DoD’s $6.5 TRILLION Unaccountable Blowout Dave Lindorff with intro by jess, Friday, Aug 12 2016, 12:02am
Former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, infamous for his ‘unknown knowns and known unknowns,’ once made public during his appalling tenure that $2 trillion in Defense spending was unaccountable/untraceable -- well, what an underestimation (expected) that figure was. Today an official government publication increases that untraceable spending by the DoD to $6.5 Trillion! That is a staggering figure, especially when Congress has legislated that all government departments, including the DoD, submit regular accounts for auditing by Congress; however, as is obvious, the DoD considers itself above the law and government, as it has failed to provide such information for two decades -- and clearly, we now know why!

text You Look But You Do Not See val, Thursday, Aug 11 2016, 3:12am
Consider stark REALITY, for once! A rogue nation, the identity of which should become obvious, has illegally, militarily intervened in numerous nations over the past two decades, the RESULT: those nations, Libya, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan TODAY are cot cases in every sense and YET these military interventions were presented to the people as liberating, democracy was to displace stable dictatorships and those nations were meant to prosper under the 'guiding hand' of the rogue nation. However as is starkly EVIDENT, anarchy and massive violent destabilisation prevails in those nations, and yet the clearly criminal -- with the highest civilian killing rate in the world -- rogue nation, leads the western world and involves a host of nations in its own crimes.

text The Turning Point claire, Wednesday, Aug 10 2016, 12:34am
Indeed, if history -- not news/propaganda -- is to be our guide then it is clear the globe now faces tumultuous social change. The old established elite ‘order’ has failed miserably to maintain the master-slave model -- plain to see. The result of course is what it has always been, social upheaval and persistent opposition to the corruption and machinations (control of our governments) by minority ruling elites.

text Billionaire Bonanza - System Skewed to Favour Mega-rich Lauren McCauley via jill, Monday, Aug 8 2016, 9:39pm
A new study by a global market research firm Wealth-X, found that not only has the number of billionaires grown, so have their fortunes; but more importantly, what are our bought, puppet politicians doing to address this huge disparity in wealth? Answer: granting evermore benefits and tax breaks to their mega-wealthy masters, is anyone surprised by how this wealthy minority continues to accrue evermore amounts of money?

Once again the responsibility for this outrageous disparity falls on the shoulders of the masses for allowing corrupt, unrepresentative politicians to dupe and screw them, plain to see. So until YOU elect representative, honest and fair people to office or forcibly remove and jail existing criminal politicians, don't complain -- you cowardly, ignorant slaves, you deserve everything you get!

I could scarcely believe what I was reading, an article from the mainstream Boston Globe by one, questionable character (easily proven), Stephen Kinzer. The article is titled, "Don't Blame the Masses,” which of course is counter-intuitive and erroneously based as reality begs to differ, So I decided to read this feeble attempt at apologetics, journalistic contortion and mis-information, as I was to discover, and what a tragic read it was/is!

PDF Document Members of US Senate Oppose Obama Plan for $1 trillion nuclear weapons ‘modernisation’ james, Saturday, Aug 6 2016, 9:53pm
If it wasn’t so tragic (and deceptive) you’d have to laugh at the way the transparent mass media and shadow government deals with critically IMPORTANT news. Just before Obama’s orchestrated and well timed visit to Hiroshima and before puppet Liar-in-Chief made peace speeches to the world, Obama quietly sanctioned military plans to overhaul, “modernise” America’s nuclear arsenal at an estimated cost of almost one trillion dollars, which action makes his 'peace' speeches just another lying con/ruse -- it is an OPEN secret that plans are underway to attack Russia and China in order to ‘subdue/contain’ these two superpowers and force them to conform to Washington’s dictates, fat chance! The fact that Russia and China are sovereign independent nations with a combined military strength that exceeds that of the US/NATO, seems to be lost on neocon psychopaths behind this push for “Full Spectrum Dominance/Pax Americana” or nuclear war in plain words.

text The Future in a Word: WAR! jess, Friday, Aug 5 2016, 9:04pm
How is it possible that a clearly rogue nation (USA) which touts world domination by military force and flouts international and local laws habitually, has become the leader of all western nations, when its past and present leaders should be on trial? If you ask that very relevant question the answer becomes plain, western populations have surrendered their democratic (majority rule) prerogatives to criminals in high office and as a result, are being led like sheep to the slaughter. 'If you follow a blowfly it can only lead you to shit!' -- an old Slav adage.
