As SICK as can be -- Yes, America, I’m talking to YOU! posted by jess, 2017-02-28 21:39:47
I recall a news report some years ago in Australia, which nation’s beach culture is strong. All sorts of competitive beach/surf oriented sports between Surf Life Saving Clubs are a common affair in this nation. (full story)

Dissonance and Disconnect posted by dulcie, 2017-02-27 22:21:13
The overwhelming majority almost automatically accuse today’s politicians of disconnect, that is, they do not ‘feel’ our pain or represent ‘our’ wishes -- how absolutely vain and narcissistic is this view? It’s all about me, isn’t it? Social media have designed it so. So why are ‘MY’ opinions and beliefs ignored? Answer, because the opinions and beliefs of the scoundrels that lied their way into power matter more, yes, it really is about ME! As is extremely apparent today. The world today is an individual self-serving nightmare on the verge of implosion. Understand if you are capable, that coherence is required for any society to persist. (full story)

The ‘Post Truth’ Fantasy posted by justin, 2017-02-27 10:18:50
I had to laugh when the greatest English language torturing nation, America, coined the expression ‘post truth;’ why, because it’s yet another American lie, it implies that a truth age once existed in the past; well, the obvious question is, WHEN? (full story)

Former Goldman Sachs banker Turnbull, elitist to the core The Australian People KNOW when they are getting Shafted, Mr. Turnbull posted by suzie, 2017-02-26 21:38:49
Indeed, regardless of limited education, class and every other social factor the Australian population has always been acutely aware of hard reality. And that reality under the Libs, is struggle, hardship and NO HOPE of home ownership, while the 1% minority that need it least are gifted $50 billion in tax and other breaks by of course fellow eitist (birds of the feather ...) PM Turnbull -- and this insular clown hopes to survive the wrath of the very hard done by Oz MAJORITY -- in your harbour-side dreams, Mr Turnbull. (full story)

White House blocks CNN, BBC, New York Times, LA Times from media briefings posted by Justin Carissimo via gail, 2017-02-24 22:13:45
Well, it's about time someone kicked the outrageously BIASED and information-shaping mainstream media in the teeth, it is well overdue. The CFR led and controlled western mass media (elite owned propaganda apparatus) is so absurdly partial it pains informed people to watch the sewage that spews, non-stop, from its outlets. Trump, for all his faults has done at least one good turn for the American people and western world. And shove it up your coit, CFR! (full story)

This picture is worth a million words The Pope is supposed to be God’s representative on Earth -- what a Laugh! posted by zed, 2017-02-23 06:04:54
That is if you are a clearly deluded Roman Catholic, and I do not exclude other Christian faiths, as the same could be said about them. Isn’t it about time brainwashed Christian imbeciles (and Muslims) realised that ALL religions are man made FAKE representations of reality. Religions are nothing more than ideological prisons where believers are led by the nose to serve the interests and bank accounts of church leaders. (full story)

U.S. Directly Responsible for Millions of Civilian Deaths, numerous Failed States and Mid-East Chaos posted by Danny Sjursen via dan, 2017-02-23 00:07:18
The United States has already lost its war for the Middle East, which couldn’t be clearer to me after having been involved in combat and soldiering in both Iraq and Afghanistan. However, Washington continues with its reality aversion, the hard facts continue to be ignored in favor of mythologizing. (full story)

A 'Post West' Future posted by Pepe Escobar via judd, 2017-02-20 07:03:38
The 2017 Munich Security Conference arguably gave the game away right at the outset, via its annual “conversation starter” for the three-day event, a report titled Post-Truth, Post-West, Post-Order? (full story)

What’s the real Alternative to Trump? posted by jess, 2017-02-19 23:34:47
The western media is doing a fine job of distracting the masses as usual. Almost the entire western media apparatus is saturated with Trump this, and Trump that, fiasco, they’re having a field day. Indeed, Trump is anything but settling, however, the shrill screams of the media, all aimed at eliminating Trump, offer or suggest no viable alternatives and that is the major problem, as the existing alternative is the deep state/establishment and status quo, and that is precisely what the masses voted AGAINST. So take a deep breath and step back from the media induced hysteria and THINK! (full story)

Social Engineering is Easy as Mind is a Cultural Product posted by gemma, 2017-02-17 23:44:15
For those not familiar with the concept of mind a brief explanation is warranted -- put simply but accurately mind is its content, thought, and all thought symbols, 'language,' are culturally derived; mind cannot be separated from thought, a fact which anyone can prove for themselves -- simply sit quietly and cease thinking; it will take a little time to reach quietude; however, once quietude is achieved your inherent consciousness, which nature/the cosmos provides, as completely distinct from the culturally manufactured mind, is able to express itself in all its limitless, harmonious, knowing, glory.
