 How The West Was Lost -- Brexit, Widespread Social Discontent and Demagoguery posted by David Michael Green via cyd, 2016-06-27 21:56:03
Does it matter? Well, for some folks it does. In particular, if you’re dis-empowered, lacking a personal sense of agency, and you’ve watched your world get whittled down bit by bit over the last several decades; the sense of doing something, anything, even the sheer joy of authoring some real wreckage, becomes tasty. And all the more so because of its rarity. It’s been so long since you poked a ruling elite joker in the eye, who cares who it is or what comes next, eh? Just do it! (full story)

Brexit: Majority Repudiation of Faceless Elite Rule posted by John Pilger via gail, 2016-06-26 20:42:22
The majority vote by Britons to leave the European Union was an act of raw democracy. Millions of ordinary people refused to be bullied, intimidated and dismissed with open contempt by their presumed leaders in the major parties, leaders of the business and banking oligarchy and the elite-owned mass media.

 Brexit and Oz Politicians posted by bruce, 2016-06-24 22:29:04
What a piss-poor grasp our pollies have on REALITY! It is clear that western populations in developed nations have become totally disillusioned with status quo and dishonest, unrepresentative politics. The USA, now the UK, are clear blazing examples that people everywhere are fed up with the usual SLOGANS and hollow rhetorical banter of antiquated-thinking pollies. PEOPLE WANT INTEGRITY from their leaders and they are not getting it, as it is clear that political leaders serve minority elite interests. Put succinctly, PEOPLE EVERYWHERE want the TRUTH and representation not empty rhetoric, slogans and the usual boring TRANSPARENT shit that issues from the mouths of puppet pollies. It could all be summed up in a word INTEGRITY, or the lack thereof! (full story)

 Paul Keating Slams Turnbull’s Unfunded $50b tax Gift to Corporates (while population struggles) posted by Jacob Greber via cyd, 2016-06-23 22:00:33
It's in your FACE Australia; puppet Turnbull's BUDGET ignores the vast majority (75%) of Australians while favouring the corporate elite. Many commentators have already described Turnbull's assessments as "questionable and fanciful." Turnbull hopes that EXTRA benefits granted to the wealthy elite would 'trickle down' to the community at large. Well, history clearly informs us that "trickle down economics" not only FAILS but harms national economies. If more proof is required of Turnbull's INEPTITUDES, TREACHERY and DISHONESTY then just listen to his hollow, unsubstantiated rhetoric. The man CLEARLY serves the business elite NOT the people of AUSTRALIA. Judge him by his ACTIONS (budget) not his empty words! (full story)

 Is Malcolm Turnbull LYING About Medicare? posted by barry, 2016-06-22 21:01:01
Indeed, he is, as did his predecessor Tony Abbott, who failed to dupe the Australian public during his catastrophic, DISHONEST, chaotic, WASTEFUL and DESTRUCTIVE tenure in office. So let’s give it another shot with Abbott lite, Malcolm Turnbull! (full story)

Study Shows Americans' Bodies Are Filled With Carcinogens posted by Julie M. Rodriguez via shirl, 2016-06-20 06:56:24
It seems it's not enough that Americans' minds are full of media-infused mental pollution, their chemical, pharmaceutical and other toxic industries are now poisoning Americans' bodies during the course of their daily lives.
Do not imagine this entirely avoidable tragedy only applies to America, as it applies to ALL 'developed' nations. (full story)

 Russia Dismantles the Myth of American Invincibility posted by Valentin Vasilescu via dan, 2016-06-18 23:20:01
The US rules the globe, having a navy three times stronger than that of Russia. Moreover, the Pentagon has created a strategic command to deploy large units of land forces, consisting of hundreds of cargo ships of large capacity. All of these vessels are organized in very strong expeditionary naval groups and around aircraft carriers, amphibious landing ships, and naval convoys of troops and military equipment. (full story)

The U.S. is unwilling to stop its [proxy] war on Syria and to settle the case at the negotiation table. It wants a 100% of its demands fulfilled, the dissolution of the Syrian government and state and the inauguration of a U.S. proxy administration in Syria. (full story)

Hackers are selling access to hacked Corporate/Bank servers posted by Ilya Khrennikov via sqizi, 2016-06-18 11:59:26
Russian hackers have a ten year lead on the rest of the world established in the very early days of computing, and as IT specialists are aware, closing that gap in skills is almost impossible. At the tail end of that Russian skill base a new economic model has emerged. (full story)

 The REAL Power Behind ALL Western Governments posted by james, 2016-06-15 22:58:28
I am often criticised for claiming that all Western governments are servile to nefarious elite interests. I am often branded a 'conspiracy theorist' by the media/propaganda-washed mindless herd; well, to clarify the point, indeed I am! Conspiracy is NOT a dirty word, it is part of the English lexicon, look it up and get an official interpretation. Better still, read this quote from a member of the Bilderberg and CFR elite, Rupert Murdoch. If you have any doubts about carefully researched claims, take it from the horse's mouth, not me: (full story)

We Must Understand Corporatism In Order to Defeat It posted by Chris Hedges via gus, 2016-06-15 05:41:11
Many wars are raging today even as I write; this 'perpetual war' strategy is the evil progeny of criminal Corporatism, PROFIT at any cost! We see the obvious wars as the corporate propaganda machine spews out its version of reality, however, there is another war that corporatism fights on the domestic front, and that war is designed to rob us of our democratic rights, liberties and freedoms -- keep the masses ignorant, uninformed, compliant, but above all, PASSIVE!

 The Lesser of two Evils -- the Degeneration of Western Democracies posted by claire, 2016-06-14 01:08:52
Western populations today face an engineered electoral race between two owned major parties, some ‘choice!’ Whatever you may think about the current status quo, one thing is SURE, democracy has been backgrounded by the interests/forces that always win elections -- any differences veneers between the two major parties quickly evaporate post election, as has been proven time and again.

Does morality have a place in the realm of banking and regulation?

 Nazi Germany was Financed by the Federal Reserve and the Bank of England posted by Yuri Rubtsov via jess, 2016-06-13 04:44:06
More than 70 years ago was the start of the largest human slaughter in history.
The recent resolution of the parliamentary Assembly of the OSCE fully equalizes the role of the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany at the outbreak of the Second World War, except that it had the purely pragmatic purpose of extorting money from Russia on the contents of some of the bankrupt economies, intended to demonize Russia as the successor state to the USSR, and to prepare the legal ground for the deprivation of her right to speak out against revision of results of war.
