A mass movement," wrote Eric Hoffer in "The True Believer," "appeals not to those intent on bolstering and advancing a cherished self, but to those who crave to be rid of an unwanted self. (full story)

Lions and Sheep posted by dulcie, 2014-10-27 02:52:26
What is it that transforms a powerful dignified lion into a timid sheep? In today’s cultural terms that is easily answered -- the corporate media. The mass media and the vested interests it serves, seek to maintain a fear driven, apathetic, divided society, which they have concluded is not fit to interfere with the self-serving decision making process of minority elites. The last thing these elites want is a unified population that resists THEIR status quo. (full story)

 Australia backs copyright crackdown in TPP -- Murdoch is overjoyed posted by Rohan Pearce via jess, 2014-10-24 09:40:09
A document published by Wikileaks reveals a battle over the 'heart and soul of intellectual property law in the Pacific Rim,' says IP expert. Australia's consent at the behest of media magnates such as Rupert Murdoch is yet another blow to Australian sovereignty, as the Corporate created TPP has the power by consent to overrule the once supreme authority of local governments -- may democracy never rest in peace!

 Abbott orders Federal Police to drop Balibo case posted by mitch, 2014-10-24 09:02:20
Possibly the most treacherous example of Abbott’s callous and criminally deceptive character to date is the recent order to the AFP to drop the Balibo war crimes case against Indonesian special forces for the witnessed, cold-blooded murder of five Australian journalists covering events in East Timor during the brutal Indonesian invasion in the mid 70‘s -- which crime was, I would add, sanctioned by the USA.

Reprehensible Cowardice posted by stacy, 2014-10-24 03:19:16
The world’s leading civilian killing nation (an enduring statistical fact) is the USA.
To lead in this way a culture must have certain cultural dispositions that allow it to slaughter millions of innocent civilians without concern -- the most extreme example of which was during the Indo-Chinese war where the Americans adopted a ‘carpet bombing’ campaign that slaughtered millions of innocents, as carpet bombing means what it says, blanket, indiscriminate bombing with no regard whatsoever for innocent civilians.

 The Biggest Tragedy of 9/11 posted by jay, 2014-10-19 10:36:15

 Reprehensible Coward Putin Warns Globalist Puppet Obama posted by druze, 2014-10-17 12:57:03
In a press statement delivered in Serbia -- a traditional ally that Russia callously abandoned in its time of greatest need -- Putin foolishly and blindly attempted to reason with America. Futility best describes Putin’s misguided efforts to reason with a ‘singularly and uncontrollably driven’ nation, to paraphrase Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov in his recent address to the UN in which he described the NATO/US alliance as a manic pact of aggression and the greatest threat to world peace that exists.

 Russia’s Belated 'Verbal' Response to US/NATO Imperialism -- Lavrov’s UN speech posted by jake, 2014-10-16 12:13:42
I feel like beginning this piece with a howl, which would be the most appropriate response to Lavrov’s recent speech at the UN. However, I will do my best to remain cool-headed but I will not succeed as I am a realist and do not have a 24 hour memory. (full story)

 The Extremist Allies of the USA posted by Robert Parry via sven, 2014-10-15 11:43:30
Who would have thought that the USA would so rapidly degenerate to the depth where it now openly jumps into bed with Jihadists, neo-Nazis and similar ultra-right fascist groups -- of course the US only supports “moderate” fascists/terrorists (my ass) and ‘reformed’ neo-Nazis but as the old adage goes, ‘you are known by the company you keep,’ and so we have an American police state today to replace ‘democracy, freedom and liberty’ that is so often spouted by lying dictator presidents that brag kill lists, indefinite detention without charge or trial, rendition, torture, total domestic surveillance and a host of other ‘legal’ totalitarian policies -- need I say once again, it’s time to wake up America and remove the criminals that have hijacked your REPUBLIC?
