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.

text Get with it People, Agri-Corporations are Killing You Kashmira Gander via jill, Tuesday, Mar 8 2016, 6:07am
Today's atrocious diets are largely the result of marketing and advertising but they fail to tell the whole story. Modern diets kill to put it succinctly. All one need do is walk down the aisle of any modern supermarket to see myriad processed products which we are encouraged to consume, notwithstanding the further we depart from natural foods the greater cost to our overall health and well being. The following story highlights only one over-consumed product, meat.

text Passive Inaction and Doomed Workers gary, Saturday, Mar 5 2016, 9:20am
I marvel sometimes at the passive acceptance of people that are dumped from their corporate jobs. Corporate executives seem to think it is they that build successful companies. Nothing could be further from the truth, CEOs and execs are a dime a dozen and those that secure a position imagine it is they alone that are responsible for company profits and successes when in fact it is each and every individual worker regardless of position that has built the company and ensures its success; yet when execs make wrong decisions it is the workforce that pays by being made ‘redundant,’ or to put in blunt terms, sacked, terminated -- good luck with feeding your family and paying your mortgage.

text Western Governments: Banker/Corporate Servants justin, Friday, Mar 4 2016, 8:24pm
Well, it seems the people have woken, at least to some realities, specifically that their so-called representatives lie through their teeth in order to gain office then immediately renege on promises and serve the unrepresentative, minority corporate and financial sectors, which fact annihilates any notion of democracy.

text War, what is it good for? Profit of course! jude, Wednesday, Mar 2 2016, 8:26pm
Wars are good for business if you’re a member of the wealthy global elite behind all the wars that have been waged over the past centuries. Do not kid yourself, especially with superficial concerns and other pertinent distractions, go to the heart of the problem. Wars would and could not be conducted unless someone stands to gain enormously and that someone is NEVER YOU, as you are either cannon fodder or collateral damage. But do the profiteers care? Take a good look at the record of recent US/NATO wars for an answer. Tens of millions of innocent people have been displaced, their homes and cities ruined, millions more have been slaughtered/murdered and few were active participants in these orchestrated wars based on lies. However, major corporations and their banker backers raked it in to the tune of $trillions.

text You Dumb Yankee Fucks! baz, Wednesday, Mar 2 2016, 3:44am
Oo! So its a “show down” between Hillary and Trump, according to the mass media, well, is it? The new president has already been selected by the shadow government of the West, note I did not confine that to the USA. All western so-called democracies are in the firm grip of the global elite, and you can safely bet that they would never allow anyone they do not have in their pocket to assume the presidency of the world’s most powerful nation. Or haven’t you noticed how Obama is simply Bush on steroids -- pursing the exact same agenda as Bush and the last few presidents before him. It was Bill ‘Balkan’ Clinton that began the big sell-out of the people and embarked on the elite (insane) strategy/agenda of American hegemony, laughingly also called "Full Spectrum Dominance" and "Pax Americana," and the elite never take the drugs they sell YOU, though they are as criminally insane as could be.

tppmacroprojections.jpg image Real Costs of the TPP: Nearly Half a Million Jobs Lost Jomo Kwame Sundaram via gail, Wednesday, Mar 2 2016, 2:01am
The Trans-Pacifc Partnership (TPP) Agreement, recently agreed to by twelve Pacifc Rim countries led by the United States,1 promises to ease many restrictions on cross-border transactions and harmonize regulations. Proponents of the agreement have claimed significant economic benefits, citing modest overall net GDP gains, ranging from half of one percent in the United States to 13 percent in Vietnam after fifteen years. Their claims, however, rely on many unjustified assumptions, including full employment in every country and no resulting impacts on working people’s incomes, with more than 90 percent of overall growth gains due to ‘non-trade measures’ with varying impacts.

CFR member, Rupert Murdoch, happy as a pig in shit image Oz Gov Unable to Assist the People but Easily able to Serve elite Plutocrats justin, Monday, Feb 29 2016, 10:59pm
Well, there you have it, Rupert Murdoch couldn’t be happier, he failed to dismantle the Oz ABC, his largest competitor, via Abbott, but succeeded in eradicating fair media ownership laws. The two out of three rule is gone, the Oz media is now less competitive than its ever been so prepare for the one Orwellian voice, similar to the US media/propaganda apparatus. This is the end of choice and any semblance to a dissenting voice or real reporting as the news will now be more packaged than it’s ever been -- of course dictating ‘reality’ to the mindless masses and spineless Oz journalists, which overwhelmingly do not support such laws, as it’s either report ‘this’ or find another job, the truth has no place in the privately owned corporate mass media.

text Ample Evidence of the Fact jess, Monday, Feb 29 2016, 9:43pm
I mean c’mmon! Since the US/NATO Balkan intervention in the 90’s and the fragmentation of a former sovereign state into powerless, exploitable, subservient statelets, based on ORCHESTRATED (proven) humanitarian crises, the same criminal force has since intervened in numerous other sovereign nations using the same now obvious, tired strategy of exploiting sectarian divisions, destabilising and then taking military control. Who today is unable to see the obvious? Lies, lies, lies, mayhem and mass murder for the profit of the few, are we happy allowing these criminal forces to continue murdering and destroying with impunity when reams of documented information and media coverage have exposed ALL the LIES and CRIMES? Criminals must pay for their crimes, or haven’t you heard of civilised law and morality?

Malcolm Turnbull, the pretender -- deserving of criticism from all quarters image Abbott Rules Liberal Party via conservative Proxies -- Turnbull Now Proven Jellyfish cyd, Saturday, Feb 27 2016, 12:34am
Remember that lying duplicitous bastard Abbott, I know most Aussies would prefer to forget? However, his lies and treachery not only extended to the Australian people but also to his own party, especially regarding his relentless attacks on Malcolm ‘do nothing’ Turnbull, the spineless elite-serving narcissist masquerading as Prime Minister, whom Abbott promised he would not interfere .

text The National Insecurity State Henry A. Giroux via jess, Friday, Feb 26 2016, 11:45pm
I think it is fair to say, following Hannah Arendt's Eichmann in Jerusalem, that each country ravaged by neoliberalism and its attack on the social state will develop its own form of authoritarianism rooted in the historical, pedagogical, and cultural traditions that enable it to reproduce itself. In the United States, a "soft war" is being waged on the cultural front aided by the new electronic technologies of consumerism and surveillance.

text The Displacement of Peace Discourse by a Warmongering Media jude, Friday, Feb 26 2016, 9:17pm
It is no secret that the primary social discourse determines social character and behaviour. And so what have we all been witness to over the past 15 years? Yes, indeed, the eradication of all discourse on Peace. Both mainstream and alternative media have been harnessed or nose-ringed, almost all media discourse relates to war and its consequences, refugees, widespread destruction etc, with the usual titillating distractive content. The result of course is current world reality, permanent escalating wars, no surprise.

Plan 'B' my sweet fanny, it has always been plan A. Carving up the Middle East has been the plan all along. Now an excuse, the failure of designed to fail 'peace talks', really, who does America think it's kidding, its fly has been undone on this issue for decades? (story and 1 image)
