  Coles Forced to Retract “False and Misleading” Claims posted by shopper via sam, 2014-04-07 08:55:37
But where is perpetrator CEO Ian McLeod, to comment on the court decision? McLeod was/is DIRECTLY RESPONSIBLE FOR LANDING COLES IN THE FEDERAL COURT over a number of dubious, if not flagrantly dishonest, retail practices -- but he got his bonuses, so who gives a shit? McLeod stepped down from his position as CEO a few days before Federal Court proceedings and by so doing advertised to the world his lack of character and profound COWARDICE; we are certainly not surprised that this bonus-chasing, hit run, cowboy CEO is hiding behind his inept lower management team; he is tipped to take his money and run to the Middle East later this year, he certainly is a known sordid quantity in Oz and his position is becoming less viable by the day.

 IMF Austerity for Western Ukraine Defended as 'Price of Independence' posted by Jon Queally via jake, 2014-04-06 10:00:05
Now that resource scarce western Ukraine has become an American vassal and slave to Western Banking interests, it can look forward to a taste of American democracy characterised by corrupt politicians, yawning inequality, double (legal) standards, police oppression, genital groping at airports, indefinite detention without charge or trial on suspicion and extra-judicial assassinations all in order to keep Ukrainian 'democracy' safe -- Stalin is laughing in his grave!

 Russia Recommends Yoga to ease US Tension over Crimea posted by Maria Tadeo via serge, 2014-04-06 02:46:21
The unstated aspect of this story is that 'Regime Change' -- a US interventionist obsession -- is illegal according to all known international laws. But that hasn't deterred the rogue US fomenting violence and numerous revolts in other nations and installing unrepresentative criminal extremists into office to serve Washington, Western Banks and other Corporate interests. Unlike the vote held in the Crimea, the so-called Ukrainian government has no legitimacy whatsoever, until such time as the People vote a legitimate government into office that represents them NOT Western Banks and Corporations. Notice how the IMF and western banks were falling over themselves to throw large enslaving loans at the Ukraine, which was accepted by the corrupt puppet 'government'. (full story)

 The WORLD must ask THE Question posted by judd, 2014-04-04 23:25:49
“Call me old fashioned,” an Aussie magistrate recently commented from the bench, “but I continue to believe in law and order!” The contextual situation was a sarcastic refutation of the absurd attempts of a barrister (QC), representing a multi-millionaire organised crime figure, to transform the law into an ass.

 Hardware ‘Backdoors’ and The Boeing Company (MH370) posted by lex, 2014-04-03 01:04:25
I’m not one for conspiracy theories, I deal exclusively in hard verifiable realities and here’s a few to mull over, and tempting as it may be, I’m not about to launch myself into the bottomless pit of conjecture, however, some historical knowns require airing at this time. Search for relevant corroborative material yourselves, it will do you all good, I’m spread too thin atm to spoon feed. (full story)

Austerity for Oz by any other Name posted by trudy, 2014-04-02 11:06:10
Does the Australian public really have to endure this claptrap from Abbott's conservative government in view of the grotesque fact that company directors and CEOs are taking home tens of millions in 'wages,' not shares or other benefits. Do not dare mention increasing the cost of living with increased GST while allowing Corporations to rape our nation's/OUR wealth and take the profits offshore to avoid their full tax responsibility to the people.

Flight MH370 and the MYTH of NSA Global Surveillance posted by lyx, 2014-03-31 00:55:33
Commentators and analysts that post to this site have repeatedly stated that the “NSA could not find their dicks to take a piss” -- in other words that global surveillance is a myth -- but of course that reality does not apply to the millions of desperate morons that identify themselves on the Internet by name or traceable plastic; I have been using the Internet since its early inception and no-one in any agency has ever been able to identify me or any of my colleagues/associates as we learned very early the VALUE and POWER of ANONYMITY!

John Kerry, let the [Ukrainian] People Decide -- shove it down his throat! posted by darcy, 2014-03-30 22:51:55
After a heated exchange between Russian and American ‘officials’ and diplomats at the 'Paris talks,' buffoon John Kerry acknowledged an impasse and said the final decision rests with the [Ukrainian] people. (full story)

 YOU are either the Solution or the Problem posted by stan, 2014-03-29 12:49:18
It really is time to stop pointing the finger at others regardless of how heinous they may be, as finger pointing is a futile and fruitless pursuit -- we all know too well! If the society in which you participate begins to rapidly decline morally and ethically then it is you that must reverse that trend, and it is not as difficult as you may first imagine. (full story)

Total Loss of Integrity and Credibility posted by stan, 2014-03-28 12:20:02
Most commentators would argue that America had lost its credibility as a Republic and a bastion of democracy, liberty and freedom long before the Balkan intervention, however, we could safely assert that the Balkan intervention was the beginning of the new wave of American permanent war foreign policy (codified as PNAC) as the US was now free of Soviet interference and could safely attack former Soviet allies without too much concern for the consequences.

 The LIE of the Century posted by judd, 2014-03-28 02:39:12
In the context of Obama attempting to call Putin black, and portray him as a global aggressor, he came out with the following gem, which will no doubt go down in history as the most dissociated statement any world leader could make.
"But even in Iraq, America sought to work within the international system. We did not claim or annex Iraq's territory. We did not grab its resources for our own gain. Instead, we ended our war and left Iraq to its people in a fully sovereign Iraqi state that can make decisions about its own future." -- Barack Obama (full story)
