 War is not Chess posted by reese, 2014-05-03 01:02:35
With the situation in the Ukraine reaching the required level of 'crisis,' Russian forces must now support freedom fighters in all US/NATO occupied nations to undertake massive offensives and retake their sovereign nations and territories (Kosovo) in order to stretch both NATO's and Washington's resources as thin as possible and then it must mount a major offensive and retake the Ukraine and kick the fascist junta back to the Washington operatives that control and support it. Then it should allow the LIBERATED Ukrainian PEOPLE to conduct elections without fear or favour and elect a government of its own choosing without interference from Moscow or Washington. (full story)

Why May Day and today’s Protest Movements Fail posted by jess, 2014-05-01 12:20:13
Hit me with a brick if I do not finally learn! May Day and various modern protests have come and gone and failed to achieve their stated objectives or goal, but WHY? You all should know the obvious answer, but here it is again for the X and Y generations which lack staying power. Single day or slightly extended protests, strikes, demos and marches only succeed if they galvanise the population to act in concert with protesters and if they PERSIST as a continuous process until goals are REALISED. In other words, lamers, all DISSENT, protests and actions only succeed if they are CONTINUOUS. (full story)

US Economy Is A House Of Cards posted by Paul Craig Roberts via sam, 2014-05-01 08:35:55
The US economy is a house of cards. Every aspect of it is fraudulent, and the illusion of recovery is created with fraudulent statistics. (full story)

  Transparent Orchestrated Oz Audit and Austerity Budget posted by baz, 2014-05-01 01:54:58
How do you pretend that you’re not making terrible vote losing decisions, you appoint an ‘external’ body comprised of sympathetic cronies and those that hold similar or more extreme views to conduct an ‘independent’ audit and then pretend to be moderate by not implementing pre-planned ‘recommended’ extreme cuts, like abandoning the sacred cow of universal health care, as one example, which working Australians have earned via the HUGE (relative to Corporate) TAXES they have paid during their entire working, productive lives.

Americans Return to Reason posted by ben, 2014-04-30 11:57:26
All America‘s wars waged over the past fifteen years are Corporate wars, that is, wars fought for profit. There is no honour fighting these wars as they are not fought in the national or public interest but are fought in the interests of the private sector for the benefit of the few. So it should come as no surprise that Americans are tiring of these dishonourable wars, which corporate-serving neocons wish to sell to the public/world as perpetual wars against 'terrorism.'

What or Who is Killing Bankers? posted by reg, 2014-04-29 00:36:41
A recent spate of 14 banker deaths in a few months defies all statistics or any other natural assessment criteria. So who/what is killing bankers? The answer of course is criminal Bankers themselves; some people simply know too much about the 2008 banker induced global economic collapse and are not part of the elite banker inner, CRIMINAL circle -- and so their lives are not worth the paper money they're printed on. Think again for whom you slave and pledge loyalty, it seems your privileged knowledge and position does NOT protect you from harm, in FACT, it CONDEMNS YOU! (full story)

'Existentialism' posted by Grischa, 2014-04-28 12:54:34
in order to understand the human condition, I wrote this article, trying to write about two 'common' assumptions used by many people: the first is religious, assuming that there is a God who can do miracles for us. The second one is what we find in existentialism. Here we find no assumption of God, but an insistence on "existential being," which is supposed to be a better quality of life than our ordinary, everyday life. [If we take a giant disconnected leap] it would seem that a second "fall of man" has occurred. Not only are 'we' (?) kicked out of paradise, but we also cannot believe in paradise any more, because of what modern 'science' [Existentialism is a philosophy?] teaches us. Could existentialism be our new "religion"? (full story)

U.S. Re-Colonises the Philippines posted by henry, 2014-04-28 01:52:43
Filipinos worked very hard to gain independence from the U.S. in the early 90's but they clearly have not estimated the degree of corruption in the current government, which has signed a deal to allow the U.S. to (in effect) re-colonise the region as a military outpost. The consequences are simple and devastating, like the servile Australian government, the Filipino government has allowed the U.S. to make a PRIMARY NUCLEAR TARGET of the Philippines when it provokes war with China, as it has done with numerous other sovereign nations over the past decade -- a very revealing track record that only a FOOL would ignore.

 Former Oz PM denounces current slavish attitude to criminal U.S. posted by Robert Manne via lex, 2014-04-27 12:08:05
Hated by progressives for his role in Gough Whitlam's [CIA instigated] dismissal and his ultra-conservative foreign policies as Liberal PM, Malcolm Fraser today believes Australia should cut all military ties to the US. (full story)

 America vs Russia - an Orchestrated Conflict posted by Kuang, 2014-04-27 01:07:28
When two large dogs fight over a bone it’s always the ‘smaller,’ smarter and faster ‘fox’ that gets the prize, and so, the Russian-American conflict proceeds according to the irresistible forces that have been cleverly set in motion (plan). (full story)

 Big Lie American Politics and WWIII posted by jude, 2014-04-26 07:38:21
It was fascist leader Adolf Hitler who said, “If you tell a big enough lie and tell it frequently enough, it will be believed!” Enter today’s neo-fascists in Washington -- note that America has allied itself since the Balkan wars with known fascist and extremist groups that all fought with Hitler during WWII, Albanians, Bosnians, Croatians and now western Ukranians -- coincidence? I think not! The world is CLEARLY dealing with a new fascist, military expansionist, America; and if you require additional verification, look no further than puppet dunces, John Kerry and Barack Obama, who have both been lying through their transparent teeth since they failed to capture the valuable assets of the Ukraine -- western (fascist) Ukraine has no natural resources to speak of, hence the panic to regain control of eastern and southern regions.

 Simply Withdraw Support From American LIES and Imposed Realities posted by trudy, 2014-04-25 23:43:26
Oz PM and pathetic Washington lackey, Tony 'errand boy' Abbott, is attempting to justify his purchase of "72" F-35 strike fighters which are known to have serious shortcomings and are proven dogs in aerial combat, especially against the Russian SU-30 Sukhoi, which Australia's very close neighbours have purchased at a fraction of the cost that servile Abbott is paying for the Lockheed F-35s. However, Abbott offers the Oz public an 'unassailable' excuse for his obsequiousness to Washington, "You never know what’s around the corner!" Is this transparent moron, lackey, clown for real?

 Dunce Hockey is taking fall for Abbott posted by baz, 2014-04-25 00:08:38
Perhaps a short history lesson for you, Joe. Did Keating take the fall for narcissist Hawke, NO, he showed him up to be the useless prick that he was/is and then took his job. [Please note, in no way am I extolling the non-existent virtues of ANY politician, I am simply stating historical fact.] Did corporate-serving, brazen LIAR Gillard accept responsibility for ‘show pony’ Rudd’s failings, whose idea of leadership was arranging photo ops, NO, she dispatched him with a Murdoch/Washington approved dagger in the back and he never got over it? Why then are you, Joe, taking the fall for Abbott, facilitator to the PLUTOCRACY? (full story)

 Corporate serving Oz Treasurer to target Vulnerable in May Budget posted by sid, 2014-04-23 05:27:04
Budgets should be simple, those that benefit most from Oz should return most to Oz; for private transnational corporations that run with their profits offshore to avoid their tax responsibility it should translate into large penalties or heavy tax burdens.
However, treasurer Joe Hockey is targeting vulnerable pensioners and not sharing the REAL burden with tax avoiding corporations -- it appears that the treasurer is just another stinking corporate lackey puppet! The Oz population should shove one those billion dollar (72 ordered) F-35 lemon fighter jets down Hockey's LYING, treasonous, throat -- and to think, what a nice guy brother Charles Hockey is!
