  America's Prospects Against The Russians And Chinese In World War III posted by Dr Paul Craig Roberts, 2016-05-28 20:09:59
The Saker reports that Russia is preparing for World War III, not because Russia intends to initiate aggression but because Russia is alarmed by the hubris and arrogance of the West, by the demonization of Russia, by provocative military actions by the West, by American interference in the Russian province of Chechnya and in former Russian provinces of Ukraine and Georgia, and by the absence of any restraint from Western Europe on Washington’s ability to foment war.

 The Oz Farcical and Idiotic Tragic Elections posted by mitch, 2016-05-28 03:39:31
Richard Marles, opposition front bencher has called Barnaby Joyce an “absolute idiot” for linking the flow of boat people from Indonesia to the cessation of live cattle exports. Joyce claimed that Indonesia uses boat people politically, and guess what? He’s right, though not in the appropriate context. The (Asian) Indonesians are acutely aware that ‘the boats’ are a political raw nerve in Oz so they exploit it whenever they are peeved with any local policy – as history CLEARLY indicates.

Americans: The New Serfs A Conquered People posted by Dr Paul Craig Roberts via stan, 2016-05-23 23:05:29
As readers know, I have seen some optimism in voters support for Trump and Sanders as neither are members of the corrupt Republican and Democratic political establishments. Members of both political establishments enrich themselves by betraying the American people and serving only the interest of the One Percent. The American people are being driven into the ground purely for the sake of more mega-billions for a handful of super-rich people. (full story)

Why ALL Doctrines and Ideologies FAIL posted by sonny, 2016-05-23 11:27:59
Indeed, the proof is in your face. Religion is a failure. Capitalism and Socialism are failures, all doctrinaire, encoded superimpositions on human nature inevitably fail, WHY? Can you guess, because deliberative thought would lead you astray, understand? Doctrines and Ideologies are the fruits of thought and just look at the blood curdling ‘success’ rates of thought-out doctrines on how we should live and structure our lives/societies. (full story)

 Tinder posted by jess, 2016-05-23 02:22:29
Australia is a land of physical extremes, it is beset by raging bush fires, infernos, more accurately, and the cause, tinder, dry dead undergrowth, or fire fuel, which must be regularly burnt off to avoid raging infernos. A social analogy can be immediately drawn, the social equivalent is disillusionment with the political status quo, the population sees through the entire ruse today. The number of Aussies fed up with Oz mainstream politics is staggering. (full story)

American Propaganda: what REALITY Says posted by justin, 2016-05-22 00:28:23
NATO is increasing its military forces in preparation for an illusory aggression by Russia in Europe and the Baltic States -- Putin has refused to play ball as he shamelessly did with Bush, which allowed NATO/US to install ‘defensive’ missile systems along Russia’s European land borders, which affords the west a tactical proximity advantage.

Strike at the Root posted by stacey, 2016-05-21 00:17:44
The world is fraught with seemingly insurmountable problems today not the least of which is a tiny cabal of mega-wealthy psychopathic interests (mega-bankers and transnational corporations) that have effectively taken control (via money) of western governments and have inflicted their doctrine of permanent war, population containment, stagnant/depressed wages, pan surveillance and the erosion of liberties and freedoms, which were once taken for granted. They do this with scant regard for human life, the environment, or anything else while they engage in destructive wars and economic policies, which are tearing the social fabric and world apart – clearly we a dealing with homicidal psychopaths, as social injustice and needless wars only end in ruin for all including this mega-wealthy elite.

 McDonalds, Coles, Woolworths workers lose in union pay deals posted by Ben Schneiders, Nick Toscano, Royce Millar via gail, 2016-05-19 02:33:06
Hundreds of thousands of Australian workers ripped off by SDA union's cozy deal with multinationals. This is clearly Shorten's province and unfortunately Shorten has a track record of selling out workers. SUPPORT your traditional support base Bill, or be confirmed as just another puppet of the corporations. The following story reveals much, especially the dirty trick the SDA pulled on its members. The union is incredibly supporting Coles, not workers, in its case against an employee taking action against Coles for decreased overall wages -- which, according to industrial law is illegal as no EBA should leave workers worse off than legally set award rates.

 Major Faux Pas by Oz racist Conservative Party posted by marie, 2016-05-18 03:14:38
Oz political commentators seem to be in agreement on one thing in relation to the unusually extended Federal election campaign, the longest in half a century, and that is the election will be lost by the party that commits the most blunders and so far the leaders in that area are the incumbent conservatives.

Forced to Vote for the Lesser of two Evils is not Democracy posted by stacey, 2016-05-17 11:54:21
Here we go again, candidates from the two major corporate owned and controlled parties are feeding the voting public simplistic emotive slogans. Xenophobic, parochial Australia is obsessed with ‘boat people’ thanks to the Murdoch press, though dumb Aussies fail to ask the price in tax-payer dollars ‘border protection’ policies are costing every Australian.

 The Great Leap Backward: America’s Illegal Wars on the World posted by Luciana Bohne via trudy, 2016-05-16 07:11:42
Can we face it in this election season? America is a weapons factory, the White House a war room, and the president the manager of the neoliberal conspiracy to recolonize the planet. It exports war and mass poverty. On the economic front, usurious neoliberalism; on the military front, illegal wars. These are the trenches of America’s battle for world domination in the 21st century.
If not stopped, it will be a short century. (full story)

 It’s About TIME! posted by darcy, 2016-05-16 00:33:18
Any clown out there that imagines that the western world is not in crisis in dreaming, the corruption and rot of financial debt-enslaving institutions and tax-avoiding multinationals have brought the world to its knees – these corrupt, mega-wealthy criminal thieving interests have already plunged the world into an economic tailspin (2008) from which it hasn’t and can never recover, the western world continues its downward spiral and makes the $trillions in so-called ‘stimulus’ or QE look like charity for the wealthy one percent; millions of people in Europe, UK, America face AUSTERITY, refugee floods, due to US regime change wars and or economic exploitation, ask your parents about the standard of living they enjoyed if you wish to apprehend today’s reality.
