  Minister RESPONSIBLE for Border Force, LIES through his teeth like his boss Tony Abbott posted by darcy, 2015-08-30 00:33:16
Socially detested PM Tony Abbott, who lied his way into office, has shown the way for his entire party, Peter Dutton the ex-detective minister responsible for the Nazi mentality of HIS new, armed, black uniformed, Border ‘Force’ says that he received advice from Border Force officers regarding randomly checking the public for their visas/papers but didn’t read it, tell Australia another one you gutless, lying hound, your party’s DISHONEST ‘form’ is a matter of pub and social discourse, notwithstanding that the minister and his leader are duty-bound to take full responsibility!

 The Global Plague posted by dave, 2015-08-29 10:45:38
And it’s devastating. What other era in modern history has seen such apathetic compliance to the most draconian intrusions on privacy, the erosion of liberties and rights which our forefathers fought and died to attain and preserve, all forfeited with cowardly, reckless abandon by modern generations – what the fuck in wrong with you people?

 Abbott criticises protest of police state Border 'Force' tactics posted by jake, 2015-08-28 22:48:45
In possibly the most disconnected of Abbott's statements he took aim at true blue Australians that are fully justified in demonstrating against police state tactics. Disconnected dunce Abbott actually said people should be "ashamed" of protecting Australia's freedoms and unique culture. Well, you've heard it from the horse's mouth and it becomes obvious where Abbott stands, clearly against Australian culture. (full story)

 Abbott’s Australian Border Force Fiasco posted by dan, 2015-08-28 10:35:01
One hardly knows where to begin with the outrage that was to be perpetrated against the Australian public. It begins with the re-branding (a meaningless corporate trick) of the customs and immigration services to the “Australian Border Force,” note the last word of this re-branding. The new ‘force’ has been invested with new powers of course, carrying guns for instance, and new dark uniforms reminiscent of Nazi Germany’s SS – what’s a few wasted millions of taxpayer funds when political tricks and gimmicks may help Abbott gain some popularity and support? But it couldn’t have been more disastrous for DISCONNECTED, DISHONEST, incompetent imbecile, Abbott. (full story)

 Conspiracy Fact posted by jess, 2015-08-27 09:32:04
It doesn’t take a genius to determine that North Africa and the Middle East since American and NATO military interventions are theatres of immeasurable human tragedy today. Prior to the illegal interventions based on lies and various other transparent pretexts, those regions were relatively stable. Today, however, chaos and horror reigns with millions dead and millions more displaced by the destabilising influence of American military interventionism, which amounts to mass murder and the assassination of leaders that refuse to comply with its wishes.

 It’s About Trust posted by darcy, 2015-08-26 11:16:39
Indeed, today, worldwide almost no-one trusts their governments and political leaders, why? Simply due to the FACT that politicians everywhere are a pack of self-interested liars and scoundrels that engage in anything but representing the people and serving the national interest. They lack vision, a coherent narrative and real policies other than what is prescribed/dictated by elite corporate and banker interests -- and who do these institutions represent, themselves of course, so democracy – majority rule -- has become a farce, a pathetic joke everywhere. Is this situation sustainable? You can bet your life it isn’t! (full story)

‘Digital Disruption’ posted by zed, 2015-08-25 08:34:54
"Digital disruption" is a quaint term invented and used by the corporate elite to signify massive loss of jobs in the near future -- approximately 40 percent of the current workforce -- due to robotics and the increased automisation of daily life. They view this phenomenon as inevitable, naturally, as it increases profits without the ‘burden’ of the human factor. And so goes the callousness of corporations that too easily forget that it was human workers that propelled them to their current status/success. (full story)

Oz defence minister Kevin 'Haneef' Andrews, already known for his 'integrity' and servility is straining to comply with Washington's request for Oz to illegally bomb Syria, a sovereign State embroiled in a civil war.

Don’t kid yourself, you do not live in a functioning democracy no matter where you live in the world today. Plutocracy reigns, mega-wealthy oligarchs and plutocrats openly install and depose servile national leaders (Mr Murdoch) which now consider deceiving populations and serving elite interests as natural.

 Russian Military Engages in Syria posted by Thierry Meyssan via val, 2015-08-24 23:07:45
A profound and significant change has just occurred in the Levant – the Russian army has begun to engage against terrorism in Syria. Although Russia has been absent from the international scene since the dissolution of the Soviet Union, and although it is moving with care, it has just created a Russo-Syrian Commission, has begun supplying weapons, sharing intelligence, and sending advisors. All of this is more or less coordinated with the White House. (full story)
