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 Pentagon Goes Nuclear on Russia Pepe Escobar via juan, Thursday, Jun 25 2015, 10:17am
We all remember how, in early June, President Putin announced that Russia would deploy more than 40 new ICBMs “able to overcome even the most technically advanced anti-missile defense systems.” Oh dear; the Pentagon and their European minions have been freaking out on overdrive ever since.

'Honest' Abbott image It’s Time for Aussies to Refocus ON ABBOTT! cyd, Thursday, Jun 25 2015, 1:34am
We all know the ‘distract the child with a lolly trick,’ so why allow lying, unrepresentative and deceitful Tony Abbott to shift our focus from HIM and his thoroughly incompetent (proven) government to matters that hardly impact the nation? By far the most critical matters affecting the overwhelming majority of Aussies are Abbott’s UNFAIR policies and his CONSTANT financial attacks on the vulnerable and average Australians. It is now widely known that tax-avoiding multinationals, parasitic big banks and other large unregulated corporations are not shouldering their responsibilities to the nation that they pillaged their collective $TRILLIONS from.

text Australia and US Exaggerate Terrorism 'threat' in order to Consolidate Power over Local Populations Scott Burchill via claire, Wednesday, Jun 24 2015, 12:50pm
Governments contrive moral panics to consolidate domestic political support. An alleged “existential” foreign threat is particularly useful. It encourages the population to rally behind the leader, accept restrictions on their civil liberties and support higher levels of funding for the military and intelligence sectors.

The veracity of the threat is almost irrelevant. What matters is that the public buys the 'danger.'

John 'cronulla race riots' Howard and Tony 'the boats, terrorism' Abbott image Zaky Mallah: the Divisionist “them or us” mentality of Tony Abbott baz, Tuesday, Jun 23 2015, 1:40pm
Tony Abbott, deceiver, DISTRACTOR and LIAR extraordinaire, recently seized the opportunity to criticise the public broadcaster (ABC) for allowing a convicted Muslim felon a platform to air his views on ISIL and the ‘terrorist threat,’ which Abbott and his conservatives are flogging to death in the media to distract the population away from focusing on Abbott’s cruel policies which continue to target the vulnerable and average Australian citizens -- we notice immediately Abbott’s inability to attack ‘corporatists,’ which group is ripping Australia blind via tax avoidance and the wholesale plunder of OUR national resource wealth.

In a nutshell, the new anti-piracy laws which passed through the senate on Monday, are designed to make it more difficult for Australians to access websites that film, TV and music companies say are hosting their content without permission. (story and 1 image)

text The Resounding Success of SPIEF spells WAR -- Make No Mistake Pepe Escobar via juan, Monday, Jun 22 2015, 3:54am
I do not take issue with Escobar's account of events at the recent St Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF) but with his baseless jubilation, obvious bias and misinterpretation. Anyone with a modicum of familiarity with the sick neocon bastards that control Washington is aware that under no circumstances would the US allow itself to be trumped by any military, economic power or group. We should never forget the revealing statement by leading neocon and Zionist, Richard Perle, who blatantly stated, "what's the point of having nuclear weapons if you don't use them;" and so the hard reality of the US encircling Russia and China hits home.

'Blue tie' puppets, Obama and dubya Bush image “Mission Accomplished” sam, Saturday, Jun 20 2015, 2:57am
For those citizens that remain impervious to the effects of the 24 hour ‘news’ cycle/memory wipe, it is a simple matter to recall and remember how then puppet of the corporate-banker elite, president dubya Bush, stood on the deck of a US naval vessel and touted that the Iraq mission was accomplished! However, prior to that buffoon reading from a prepared script, neocon and sociopath Paul Wolfowitz stated publicly that the invasion and takeover of Iraq would be a “cakewalk” and that the Iraqi population would welcome mass murdering American troops with “bouquets of flowers,” probably in gratitude for US embargos and sanctions which killed over 500,000 innocent Iraqi children due to the lack of essential medical supplies.

Barack Hussein Obama image Puppet Obama's Libya Fiasco Andres Cala via stacey, Friday, Jun 19 2015, 10:47am
It should be noted that everywhere the US and its NATO ally have intervened over the past decade the result has been the ruination of the interfered with nation and countless lost innocent lives. These criminal interventions, under one pretext or another, must cease as they have clearly proven disastrous for not only the intervened nation but for world stability and security. The refugee problem has exploded and various extremist groups have been spawned as a direct consequence of the vandalism and sociopathic policies of America and its NATO ally. Libya, Iraq and Afghanistan have proven that these interventions have destabilised the ENTIRE world. The principals behind these interventionist policies should be arrested and held to account for contravening international law and the obvious crime of mass murder. (story and 2 images)

Julian Assange image The Tragic case of Flawed Personality Julian Assange zed, Friday, Jun 19 2015, 5:34am
Fellow Australian John Pilger has recently written another overtly biased article in support of Julian Assange, whose situation is largely the result of his own making, notwithstanding the known behaviour of criminal lackey governments that overtly flout justice and serve the interests of the most criminal, mass murdering government of them all, Washington.

Dunce PM and corporate errand boy, Tony Abbott image Golden Retriever Tony Abbott Runs with elite Bone – ISIL is coming to get YOU/Everyone! baz, Friday, Jun 12 2015, 11:16am
