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 The Orwellian Paradigm -- Killing You, To Save You Faisal Moghul via stan, Sunday, Apr 14 2013, 10:55pm
Almost 30 years ago, cultural critic Neil Postman argued in Amusing Ourselves to Death that television’s gradual replacement of the printing press has created a dumbed-down culture driven by mindless entertainment. In this context, Postman claimed that Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World correctly foresaw our dystopian future, as opposed to George Orwell’s 1984.

And that scumbag calls himself a family man -- Obama is the worst type of human image Proven: Puppet Obama LIED about Drone War and EVERYTHING else Conor Friedersdorf via ned, Friday, Apr 12 2013, 9:53pm
Corporate puppet president Obama has been outed for his brazen dishonesty and poisonous LIES, which continue to inflict a horrid toll on innocent people everywhere.

The most distasteful aspect of this story is that Obama and his masters are fully aware of the horrific consequences of their CRIMINAL actions. (story and 2 images)

text American 'Kentucky Fried Religion' fish via sal, Thursday, Apr 11 2013, 9:13am
The very American travelling circus that was tent religion matured and found expression in the mass ‘conversions’ (come on down and be saved style) of Billy Graham, demagogue and showman, the forerunner of today’s Evangelicals. Plastic religion for a plastic society, Graham invented ‘Kentucky fried religion’, a fast consumable product that was accessible to the masses, requiring nothing but gleefully running to the stage and in spectacular fashion being ‘saved’ by Billy or one of his many imitators. Modern Evangelicalism was born, long arduous hours of meditation and prayer in the pursuit of Deity became a thing of the medieval past.

text They Don't Call them Robber Barons for Nothing! Ellen Brown via sal, Tuesday, Apr 9 2013, 10:35pm
Shock waves went around the world when the IMF, the EU, and the ECB not only approved but mandated the confiscation of depositor funds to “bail in” two bankrupt banks in Cyprus. A “bail in” is a quantum leap beyond a “bail out.” When governments are no longer willing to use taxpayer money to bail out banks that have gambled away their capital, the banks are now being instructed to “recapitalize” themselves by confiscating the funds of their creditors, turning debt into equity, or stock; and the “creditors” include the depositors who put their money in the bank thinking it was a secure place to store their savings.

The Truth of the (ongoing) nuclear fallout from the Fukushima disaster is being suppressed, not least because powerful Transnational Corporations like General Electric (GE) are implicated and liable for compensation and reparations on a MASSIVE scale. (story and 1 image)

text The Tragic Truth dasha, Monday, Apr 1 2013, 9:11am
Tragedy is complete ruin dressed in drama; truth is uncomfortable and confronting for the most part so the majority avoid it like the plague.

While we THE GLOBAL MORAL MAJORITY allow an extremely courageous young man to battle, single handed, the most powerful organised criminal organisation in the world today -- the US administration and its military Pentagon enforcing arm – ALONE, we have not only failed brave Bradley Manning, HERO of our time, we have failed ourselves, justice and CIVILISATION!

Bradley Manning, Hero image Bradley Manning's Nobel Peace Prize David Swanson via sal, Tuesday, Mar 26 2013, 8:35am
No individual has done more to push back against what Martin Luther King Jr. called "the madness of militarism" than Bradley Manning. The United States is the leading exporter of weapons and itself spends as much preparing for more wars as the rest of the world combined. Manning is the leading actor in opposition to U.S. warmaking, and therefore militarism around the world. What he has done has hurt the cause of violence in a number of other nations as well.

thangka.jpg image The Brotherhood Ethan Indigo Smith via bluey, Sunday, Mar 24 2013, 3:07am
The value of all that you know and all that you've been taught can quickly be outweighed and forgotten by your belief in and support of man made national, racial, religious and cultural institutions. All wars root themselves in a bed of belief in and support for existing institutions and in the hatred of stigmatized individuals within varying alternative institutions. All zealotry and loyalty begins in the feeling of being involved in an institutional family. People are convinced that they are part of an institutional family, an institution that presents itself as immortal. (story and 1 image)

text Who Does ‘Your’ Government Serve? jen, Saturday, Mar 23 2013, 10:43pm
Fair question with an obvious answer but let’s elaborate a little so there’s absolutely no doubt.

Do you feel that your government serves you and the people or does it serve the minority big end of town, the Corporatists and Bankers? Now think of the US Attorney General refusing to prosecute Wall St criminal FRAUD but kicking you out of house and home or fining you for misdemeanours.

text The Dilemma of Western Minds Approaching Eastern Philosophies sadh, Saturday, Mar 23 2013, 10:21am
I recently read a short article by Western Buddhist, ‘llar’ titled, ‘Suffering and Design.’ The piece began in typical western fashion with concepts, i.e. created cultural thought habits so often repeated they are accepted as given ‘realities’ when in fact they are fabrications or arbitrary social fictions/conventions designed to enable social management by crafty ruling elites or anyone willing to exploit the feeble minded. The concepts referred to are ‘dukha’ and ‘sin,’ which roughly render as ‘suffering’ and out of ‘step/synch/alignment,’ respectively.

Start with a viable and winnable strategy, place the leaders of the 'coalition of the willing' criminals -- Bush, Blair and Howard -- on trial for their known LIES and subsequent WAR and OTHER CRIMES against HUMANITY committed in Iraq.

Corporate lackeys, Gillard and Rudd image The Oz Electorate is Not Amused judd, Thursday, Mar 21 2013, 6:42am
Yet another leadership contest between insular Oz politicians completely oblivious to the sentiment of the PEOPLE; indeed, the electorate is NOT amused by the antics of both major parties. It has become clear that Federal politics in Australia is all about ‘us,’ i.e., competing politicians, not the welfare of the people or nation. (story and 1 image)
