  The WORLD must ask THE Question posted by judd, 2014-04-04 23:25:49
“Call me old fashioned,” an Aussie magistrate recently commented from the bench, “but I continue to believe in law and order!” The contextual situation was a sarcastic refutation of the absurd attempts of a barrister (QC), representing a multi-millionaire organised crime figure, to transform the law into an ass.

 Hardware ‘Backdoors’ and The Boeing Company (MH370) posted by lex, 2014-04-03 01:04:25
I’m not one for conspiracy theories, I deal exclusively in hard verifiable realities and here’s a few to mull over, and tempting as it may be, I’m not about to launch myself into the bottomless pit of conjecture, however, some historical knowns require airing at this time. Search for relevant corroborative material yourselves, it will do you all good, I’m spread too thin atm to spoon feed. (full story)

Austerity for Oz by any other Name posted by trudy, 2014-04-02 11:06:10
Does the Australian public really have to endure this claptrap from Abbott's conservative government in view of the grotesque fact that company directors and CEOs are taking home tens of millions in 'wages,' not shares or other benefits. Do not dare mention increasing the cost of living with increased GST while allowing Corporations to rape our nation's/OUR wealth and take the profits offshore to avoid their full tax responsibility to the people.

Flight MH370 and the MYTH of NSA Global Surveillance posted by lyx, 2014-03-31 00:55:33
Commentators and analysts that post to this site have repeatedly stated that the “NSA could not find their dicks to take a piss” -- in other words that global surveillance is a myth -- but of course that reality does not apply to the millions of desperate morons that identify themselves on the Internet by name or traceable plastic; I have been using the Internet since its early inception and no-one in any agency has ever been able to identify me or any of my colleagues/associates as we learned very early the VALUE and POWER of ANONYMITY!

After a heated exchange between Russian and American ‘officials’ and diplomats at the 'Paris talks,' buffoon John Kerry acknowledged an impasse and said the final decision rests with the [Ukrainian] people. (full story)

 YOU are either the Solution or the Problem posted by stan, 2014-03-29 12:49:18
It really is time to stop pointing the finger at others regardless of how heinous they may be, as finger pointing is a futile and fruitless pursuit -- we all know too well! If the society in which you participate begins to rapidly decline morally and ethically then it is you that must reverse that trend, and it is not as difficult as you may first imagine. (full story)

Total Loss of Integrity and Credibility posted by stan, 2014-03-28 12:20:02
Most commentators would argue that America had lost its credibility as a Republic and a bastion of democracy, liberty and freedom long before the Balkan intervention, however, we could safely assert that the Balkan intervention was the beginning of the new wave of American permanent war foreign policy (codified as PNAC) as the US was now free of Soviet interference and could safely attack former Soviet allies without too much concern for the consequences.

 The LIE of the Century posted by judd, 2014-03-28 02:39:12
In the context of Obama attempting to call Putin black, and portray him as a global aggressor, he came out with the following gem, which will no doubt go down in history as the most dissociated statement any world leader could make.
"But even in Iraq, America sought to work within the international system. We did not claim or annex Iraq's territory. We did not grab its resources for our own gain. Instead, we ended our war and left Iraq to its people in a fully sovereign Iraqi state that can make decisions about its own future." -- Barack Obama (full story)

 Russia vs US/NATO -- a multitude of Opportunities for smaller Groups/States posted by broz, 2014-03-27 22:34:26
It is to be expected that the mass media and alternative media should, without exception, focus on the gambit between Russia and the US/NATO, when in actual REALITY a number of smaller States and non-State players stand to make enormous gains from this superpower confrontation. We refer to the genius politics of Marshal Tito, probably the leading exponent of small State effective geo-politics, the world has ever seen. (full story)

 Coles’ controversial CEO Ian McLeod is hired by Large ‘Middle Eastern’ Retailer posted by joe, 2014-03-26 08:53:58

 Libya -- another fine mess posted by Owen Jones via ben, 2014-03-24 10:49:18
Remember the effluent/rhetoric that issued from the mouths of Obama, Clinton, Cameron, Sarkozy, Merkel, Rasmussen and other Western leaders complicit in the gigantic crime against Libya. 'A brutal dictator is killing civilians' (lies) one pretext after another to steal Libya's (and Gaddafi's) immense wealth. Twenty six thousand (26,000) bombing sorties later, fanatic Islamists fighting for the US and Saudis on the ground, razed cities that supported Gaddafi, a DEBT FREE North African nation that enjoyed the highest living standard in the region was trashed, a western Reserve Bank established in Benghazi and the nation's oil and other resources stolen to pay for the 'huge debt incurred to re-build' essential infrastructures -- a totally transparent thieving gambit obvious to all, has left a stable prosperous nation, ruined. Who will pay for this monumental CRIME, Mr Ban Ki-Moon, you stinking lackey? Take a good IMPARTIAL look at US/NATO criminal handiwork in Libya and then squawk another tune! (full story)

Bringing it all to a Head posted by drew, 2014-03-24 00:11:43
We have been working for over two decades to steer the US far right and other international extremist groups into a global military confrontation with Russia and China, now it appears that we stand at the tantalising threshold of our objective. It is not a matter of corrupt governments and pathetic puppet politicians (on all sides) ‘huffing and puffing,’ it is for those best able to capitalise on opportunity and seize the moment that larger more cumbersome forces are unable to apprehend.
