[Evil] Google Faces Antitrust Charges after EU Rejects Proposal posted by Tom Fairless via shirl, 2014-09-25 13:01:57
Google is demonstrably biased in searches, outrageously intrusive and abusive with data, tax shirking, corrupt and outright evil in its partnerships with the CIA and NSA. It is heartening to see the mainstream finally rein in this US mega-corporation an its sordid practices. (full story)

Look at all those Toyotas! ISIL, right on queue .. posted by virg, 2014-09-23 03:18:17
I remember clearly when CIA operative Bin Laden was the focus of the perpetual war on terror and how he would release a video or tape just when the US population required scaring -- at elections, the passing of unpopular bills/laws that eroded liberties, etc. It was laughable to witness how these instances defied probability -- on one occasion Bin Laden, who had been silent for months, released a video just when dubya, who was running for his second term, needed him most, coincidence, I doubt it? Well, though it was as transparent as could be to anyone with a working brain, these idiotic, unidentifiable (fabricated) tapes and videos worked a charm to sway the American people this way and that!

War, Circus and Injustice Down Under posted by John Pilger via sam, 2014-09-20 11:48:20
There are times when farce and living caricature almost consume the cynicism and mendacity in the daily life of Australia's [puppet] rulers. Across the front pages is a photograph of a resolute Tony Abbott with Indigenous children in Arnhem Land, in the remote north. "Domestic policy one day," says the caption, "focus on war the next."

Abbott and Brandis Oz Abbott gov Attempts to Legalise Torture by Subterfuge posted by Paul Sheehan via raul, 2014-09-18 05:00:41
A new bill submitted by Tony Abbott’s AG, George Brandis, names only three offences that intel and regulatory agencies would incur liability/accountability for, they are actions that: "(i) causes the death of, or serious injury to, any person; or (ii) involves the commission of a sexual offence against any person; or (iii) causes significant loss of, or serious damage to, property;" which clearly opens the door to torture, violent interrogation, indefinite detention, entrapment, false arrest or harassment campaigns by police and spy agencies, not to mention staged ‘false flag’ ops, like planning to kidnap and behead Sydney citizens at random, for example!

If Local Law is an Ass then International Law is a Farce posted by judd, 2014-09-16 12:14:22
Most people that have a working relationship with the Law or judiciary understand completely that national Law is an ass; one need only research the many different penalties for the exact same crime to be thoroughly astonished, dismayed and disillusioned about fairness, justice and legal systems thereafter.

Nation of Cowards posted by John Chuckman via sal, 2014-09-16 00:56:07
The fundamentals of this piece apply in varying degrees to all nations and individuals on the globe today. In the national-international context America is the world's leading cowardly nation as it constantly delights in bullying and then attacking much weaker nations. The USA since bullying the Balkan States in the 90's has been at constant war with much weaker nations around the globe. (full story)

Global Announcement from the Sovereign Australian Nation/People posted by Oz, 2014-09-13 22:27:03
It is broadly known that the current Australian prime minister, Tony Abbott, gained office by false pretences. Mr Abbott, in the most flagrant manner possible, lied and deceived the Australian electorate to gain office. As a result Mr Abbott clearly does not represent the Australian people, which he deceived or the nation that he treated with contempt; therefore, Tony Abbott and members of the political party he leads have forfeited all representative legal rights and therefore carry no authority in relation to Australian interests and the course the nation may take in the near future.

Cockpit cannon penetration Laughable Dutch Report on the Downing of MH-17 posted by annie, 2014-09-11 23:21:42
The cover-up western investigation and media report into the MH-17 shoot down is tragic if not ridiculous; it is already widely known that in a failed attempt to compromise Putin, two jet fighters under the command of the Kiev fascist government shot down MH-17 with rapid bursts of machine gun fire and 30mm aircraft cannon rounds, which flies in the face of yet another LIE that emanated from Washington almost before the wreckage of the jetliner hit the ground, i.e. that rebel forces used missiles supplied by Russia to down the aircraft.

The Truth of the Iraq Invasion -- 3.3 million Innocents Slaughtered posted by Sherwood Ross via gail, 2014-09-11 11:21:24
Regardless of all the propaganda, lies, distortions and omissions by Murdoch and CFR ilk, there is NO ESCAPING THE REALITY that, based on the primary qualifier of terrorism, CIVILIAN KILLING, the world's leading terrorist nation is America. I would add, there is no excuse for killing over half a million CHILDREN for Corporate oil interests. The Law must be applied against the culpable and against all rogue nations controlled by NON-REPRESENTATIVE, mass murdering corporatists! (full story)

Dead planet Corporate Produced Pollutants the Real Threat to Humanity posted by wmo via dmw, 2014-09-10 12:48:00
The privately owned Corporate media went to great lengths recently to saturate the air waves with 'news' focused on the Ukraine, MH-17 and ISIL, three USA instigated and fomented wars/events, which of course intentionally distracted the world from Israel's regular genocidal attacks on Gaza and the real reason for the action -- Oil and Gas reserves off the Gaza coast which the Jews recently stole from the Palestinians.

The Hindu Concept of Dharma posted by sadh, 2014-09-08 13:42:07
Wiki correctly states there is no one word translation for the Sanskrit term ‘Dharma’ in English or any other European language. However, this is not problematic as we are all able, using the richness of the English language, to understand what is meant by the term, DHARMA. (full story)
