 The Real Powers of the World are Not Nation States posted by rufuz, 2014-12-19 11:59:19
It is true, nation states are merely the accessories of power elites. (full story)

  No Hard Evidence that North Korea Hacked Sony posted by Kim Zetter via rees, 2014-12-19 09:23:49
I suppose it is to be expected that the mass murdering criminal bastards that control the USA are again pumping propaganda regarding a hack of the Sony corporation, an exercise no doubt to compromise and justify a possible future target. The informed are in 'yawn' territory, however, the Wired article is worth a read as it is one of the few specialised sources that explains to lay people that the US line is a media beat-up based on extremely weak real evidence.

 America: Australia's Dangerous Ally posted by Malcolm Fraser via darcy, 2014-12-18 09:15:26
It is time for Australia to end its strategic dependence on the United States. The relationship with America, which has long been regarded as beneficial, has now become dangerous to Australia’s future. We have effectively ceded to America the ability to decide when Australia goes to war. Even if America were the most perfect and benign power, this posture would still be incompatible with the integrity of Australia as a sovereign nation. It entails not simply deference but submission to Washington, an intolerable state of affairs for a country whose power and prosperity are increasing and whose national interests dictate that it enjoy amicable, not hostile, relations with its neighbors, including China.

Oz Gun laws and other Contractionist Policies: Ineffective posted by jess, 2014-12-17 20:43:13
A pro-gun Australian senator claims that our gun laws have created a nation of victims -- not so, as respondent, war criminal and mass murderer, John Howard, is well aware. Howard emerged from his hole to defend his policy of disarming all Australians except of course those that wish to obtain a weapon by any means available -- regulators have recently proven they are essentially ineffective in controlling the underground trade in firearms.

We Fight and Resist because we Must posted by zed, 2014-12-17 10:13:47
There are many forms of resistance but resistance always issues from an aware minority as indeed opponent criminal forces are a minority, which has always been the historical case. (full story)

 Sydney Hostage Crisis Reeks -- UPDATE, SIEGE ENDS posted by jake, 2014-12-14 20:35:54
A hostage crisis is unfolding in Sydney's CBD as I write, however, informed Australians would not forget the lies conservative PM John Howard told Australia regarding the criminal invasion of Iraq which was based on total FABRICATIONS and LIES. The SMH reports that the flag displayed on the cafe is not an ISIL flag, as they are difficult to obtain. It is also known that real extremist jihadists do not take hostages in similar circumstances, they act immediately according to ISIL instructions making a bloody statement, they also pursue martyrdom, notwithstanding that the Oz Islamic community has ample disillusioned youth and numerous 'useful idiots' in its ranks.

 Duplicitous Abbott promised more jobs but Creates more Unemployment posted by stan, 2014-12-12 21:10:46
The entire nation is now aware that Abbott does the exact opposite of what he promises, hypocrite is too mild a term for that fraudulent scoundrel, his finance minister today announced that the government will take the axe to the public service sector, hundreds, if not thousands of jobs will go. But what does Abbott care, people are only numbers to him? (full story)

 A Measure of the Rapid Social Decline of America posted by darcy, 2014-12-12 00:12:49
Former disgraced president, Richard Nixon, during an interview about his involvement in an illegal ‘break and enter,’ infamously replied “when the president does it, it’s legal!” That statement has gone down in the infamous hall of historical outrages. However, we should remember the social outrage Nixon’s appalling statement elicited among the American masses of the time -- enough outrage to force his resignation or face the inglorious process of impeachment. History records that Nixon died some years later in disgrace and obscurity. (full story)

WAR IS PEACE

Nose-ringed American ‘Alternative’ Media posted by sam, 2014-12-10 21:52:40
There they go again, distracted like a child with a piece of candy -- the REAL issue is the ongoing crimes America is committing DAILY -- even as I write -- you brainless dunces. The torture report is serving the elite to DISTRACT morons like the imbecilic, nose-ringed ‘alternative media,’ which is clearly unable to remain focused on the REAL ISSUES of continuing and ongoing crimes committed by the executive. Now pull your thumbs out of your stupid arses, which you seem to be using as your brains, you imbeciles, AND ATTACK! (full story)

 Obama: America "Exceptional" So We Don't Prosecute Torturers posted by Jon Queally via stacy, 2014-12-10 08:31:15
It should be remembered that the torture report is distracting from America's ongoing war crimes which it commits daily, either directly, civilian killing Drone attacks, or via its sponsored proxy fighting groups around the world; they include the US supported neo-Nazi Ukrainian regime and ISIL, to name only two obvious offenders -- so prosecutions are not a debatable topic, they are an imperative. No president or anyone else is in the position to obstruct the LAW or the people's demand for JUSTICE, as it was the previous administration's executive which is clearly guilty of these horrendous crimes.

 Inadequate Belated Response from Woolworths HR posted by mod, 2014-12-10 06:06:07
Isn’t it always the way with corporate upper management to avoid directly responding to issues and complaints that compromise them and expose THEIR incompetence and unfair practices; we are unable to publish the content of the letter to the complainant due to restrictions, however, we are able to divulge that Woolworths’ HR ‘director’, David Guise, who is clearly responsible for dealing with the situation to the best of his ‘ability’, has instead attempted to delegate the matter and refer it on to the operations manager -- ‘too hot to handle’ issues usually result in avoidance and ‘buck-passing’ in corporate environments and Woolworths is no exception, a very poor show indeed.

Ignoring The World Trade Center [9/11] Evidence is No Longer an Option posted by steve, 2014-12-09 10:09:31
After the US released its damning torture report an official was interviewed on the BBC and when pressured became somewhat hysterical claiming that 9/11 justified torture and other crimes committed by the United States -- the plain truth is, it didn't! Questions remain today that must be answered as extremists in the US constantly refer to the extremely suspect event of 9/11 to justify all the ONGOING crimes committed since. (full story)
