text We are Not Impotent Americans - Fracking is being Stopped in Oz frank, Friday, Mar 20 2015, 10:21pm
Democracy -- or people power -- lives in Australia, ‘fracking’ is now a major State election issue in NSW, which proves to all citizens that corporate friendly conservative governments can be ousted if they arrogantly and contemptuously ignore the wishes and will of the people and it is widely known that the Australian people are extremely protective of their home/nation.

The decision by major European powers to join the $50 billion China-backed Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) is a significant blow to the United States. It is a clear sign that, amidst deepening global stagnation, the economic mechanisms through which the US has exerted its hegemony are breaking down as other imperialist powers assert their independent interests.

text Mega-wealthy Western Elite Losing its Grip on World Paul Craig Roberts via stan, Wednesday, Mar 18 2015, 9:14pm
Ancient Samurai were aware that bloody hands lose their grip on weapons and so they used shark skin to compensate for this potentially fatal combat problem. However, Asians are far more adept, creative and ingenious than the corporate bought dunces that populate Congress and the puppets in the Whitehouse. It appears that Asian or Eastern guile and ingenuity will once again prevail against a brutish, mass murdering, rustic enemy.

The nation with the bloodiest hands in the current war between East and West is undoubtedly America and it has not been able to compensate or mitigate the problem as metaphorically described above. And so the slow but very sure and steady progress/strategies of the East will inevitably prevail as money ALWAYS follows money; the forced and unwelcomed allegiances to Washington are evaporating as I write.

Let’s face it: we live in a state of pervasive national security anxiety. There are various possible responses to this low-grade fever that saps resolve, but first we have to face the basis for that anxiety -- what I’ve come to think of as the Big Dick School of Patriotism, or (since anything having to do with our present version of national security, even a critique of it, has to have an acronym) the BDSP.

Tony Abbott and Mike Baird, full of shit! image Tony Abbott Hasn’t Changed One Iota stan, Monday, Mar 16 2015, 2:20am
Abbott’s latest appalling gaffe – a “ life-style choice” -- regarding the impoverished indigenous population, is typical of his combative, Darwinian mindset, nothing new, and that is the point, he views the vulnerable and weak with contempt, his heartless attack on young students and the aged/vulnerable in our community is known, those actions speak the truth about Abbott and his Libs; all Abbott has done recently, to lift the opinion polls, is put on a mask, his more contentious policies, like the medicare co-payment/tax, have simply been put on the backburner not abandoned. Abbott is now attempting to deceive the public with a disposable persona fixed to his face with MORE LIES and more duplicity – it’s all bullshit, just more of his public fakery, deception and duplicitous nature, this ‘leopard’ will NEVER change his spots, as is obvious now to all.

obamaworldflareup.jpg image ISIL and US Empire – Their Unholy Alliance Fully Exposed Joachim Hagopian via larry, Thursday, Mar 12 2015, 2:03am
Let’s be perfectly clear. The United States is not actually at war with ISIS. As Global Research director, economist and author Michel Chossudovsky plainly points out recently, Obama is simply waging “a fake war” against the Islamic State forces, putting on another propaganda show for mainstream media to keep his flock of American sheeple asleep in echo-chambered darkness. With a mere cursory review of recent historical events, one can readily realize that virtually everything Big Government tells us is happening in the world, you can bet is a boldface lie.

Chelsea (Bradley) Manning image CIA torturers and the leaders who approved their actions must face the Law Chelsea E Manning via dulcie, Wednesday, Mar 11 2015, 11:45pm
Successful intelligence gathering through interrogation and other forms of human interaction by conventional means can be – and more often than not are – very successful. But, even though interrogation by less conventional methods might get glorified in popular culture – in television dramas like Law and Order: Criminal Intent, 24 and The Closer and movies like Zero Dark Thirty – torture and the mistreatment of detainees in the custody of intelligence personnel is, was and shall continue to be unethical and morally wrong. Under US law, torture and mistreatment of detainees is also highly illegal. (story and 1 image)

Democracy is MAJORITY rule, by direct participation and/or representation. Abbott and the Libs are clearly an anti-democratic, minority CORPORATE serving government, the contempt comservatives have for the people is self evident. Do not be beguiled by the privately owned CORPORATE mass media and its 24 hour 'news' cycle, which is designed to wipe the memory clean each day -- REMEMBER! (story and 2 images)

Hillary Clinton, liar (Sarajevo) and known servant of the global elite image The Useless‭ ‬Hillary Clinton‭ ‬Debate‭ ‬on the‭ ‬Next‭ ‬Presidency shirl, Sunday, Mar 8 2015, 8:11pm
All one need do is take a good look at this woman‭’‬s and her husband‭’‬s links to the shadowy Bilderberg group.‭ ‬When‭ ‬Hillary‭ ‬Clinton was running‭ ‬against Obama for the‭ ‬Democrat‭ ‬nomination‭ ‬some years ago,‭ ‬the‭ ‬gruelling‭ ‬race‭ ‬was settled when both attended a Bilderberg meeting in Virginia.‭ ‬The‭ ‬internal party‭ ‬battle‭ ‬was settled at that meeting by‭ ‬the‭ ‬non-representative‭ ‬global elite‭;‬ Obama runs and Clinton should wait for her‭ ‬allotted‭ ‬time,‭ ‬which is the next presidential election.‭ ‬A little research‭ ‬clearly reveals‭ ‬the sordid picture of a woman that is an undisguised servant of the self-serving global elite.

text Washington's Covert Links to ISIL: The Evidence Tim Anderson via tom, Sunday, Mar 8 2015, 6:38pm
Reports that US and British aircraft carrying arms to the Islamic State group – better known as ISIS - have been shot down by Iraqi forces have been met with shock and denial in western countries. Few in the Middle East doubt that Washington is playing a ‘double game’ with its proxy armies in Syria, but some key myths remain important amongst the significantly more ignorant Western audiences.

Tariq Ali image The Time Is Ripe for Revolution Chris Hedges via stan, Saturday, Mar 7 2015, 6:08am
Tariq Ali is part of the royalty of the left. His more than 20 books on politics and history, his seven novels, his screenplays and plays and his journalism in the Black Dwarf newspaper, the New Left Review and other publications have made him one of the most trenchant critics of corporate capitalism. He hurls rhetorical thunderbolts and searing critiques at the oily speculators and corporate oligarchs who manipulate global finance and the useful idiots in the press, the political system and the academy who support them. The history of the late part of the 20th century and the early part of the 21st century has proved Ali, an Oxford-educated intellectual and longtime gadfly who once stood as a Trotskyist candidate for Parliament in Britain, to be stunningly prophetic.

text The "Cataclysmic Conflict" Yet to Come Tony Cartalucci via stella, Friday, Mar 6 2015, 11:35pm
Corporate-financier interests driving US foreign policy have long ago conspired to use Al Qaeda and other sectarian extremist forces to create a Pan-Arabian mercenary force with which to fight their enemies. Warned about in 2007 in a prophetic 9-page report by veteran journalist, two-time Pulitzer Prize-winner Seymour Hersh, then exposed through documented evidence over the course of the past four years, and now incontrovertibly unfolding before the world's eyes, this criminal conspiracy against world peace and all of humanity can be seen in its full, horrific form.

For the first time in public an official from The IMF has admitted that the various Greek bailouts were not for the Greeks at all… “They gave money to save German and French banks, not Greece,” Paolo Batista, one of the Executive Directors of International Monetary Fund told Greek private Alpha TV on Tuesday. As KeepTalkingGreece reports. Batista then went on to strongly criticized not only the Eurozone and the European Central Bank but also the IMF and the Fund’s managing Director Christine Lagarde for defending Europe much too much…

Tony Abbott and Julia Gillard image The Lost Art of Government stan, Wednesday, Mar 4 2015, 9:28pm
Have you ever wondered why politicians today lack ability; it seems they all, regardless of party stripe, follow the same script? Today’s politicians are incapable of making any decision in favour of the democratic majority and a good example today is the latest Oz government, which has bungled everything since stealing office by fraud and lies eighteen months ago. Not only did the government fail miserably, it contemptuously duped the masses to steal office. Yet it remains in power though clearly it is devoid of independent volition, vision and ability.
