   Criminal Exceptionalism posted by judd, 2014-03-22 22:50:21
What has failed in the world today is MORALITY; and that implies the fault is ours -- WE SHARE RESPONSIBILITY for the current state of the world; we have failed ourselves, therefore our societies/cultures are failing or have already failed. (full story)

 Ukraine: trigger events and the collapse of nations posted by justin, 2014-03-21 01:15:10
I am referring to the thoroughly inept buffoons in Washington and the dissociated, clearly divorced from reality, plutocrats that control them. I would say without the slightest reservation or hesitation that your time has come and your nightmare show is all but over; radical remedial action (though highly unlikely) to save the situation, excepted.

 China and U.S. Failures posted by kuang, 2014-03-20 08:23:51
The first thing we need to remember when dealing with these two superpowers is that China is a 3000 year old culture that heavily influenced other Asian cultures over that period of time -- so China knows a thing or two about survival and good international relations. The other critically important factor everyone who is interested in dealing with any Asian nation needs to know is that Asians approach everything obliquely, never head on -- direct confrontations are traditionally considered course, ignorant, rustic and grossly ill-mannered, so you get the picture. America attempts to solve its international problems with a gun while China approaches other nations with constructive solutions and non-violence, ‘let’s do business’ to our mutual benefit! Who would you rather establish a relationship with? It is that simple, but the lunatic plutocrats that rule the USA have no idea how soft approaches/solutions work. (full story)

 Hit’ em with your handbag, Barack! posted by stane, 2014-03-19 00:00:27
Issues with the poofter puppet US president aside for the moment; the Russian Duma has responded to the west’s ILLEGAL asset freezes, sanctions and financial attacks on personal and state sovereignty by passing a motion that invites the US and EU to extend their asset freezes and sanctions to all Russian MPs -- a typical slavic response; we recall Yugoslav civilians holding small targets on their chests in defiance of NATO and the US illegally bombing a CIVILIAN capital city in Europe, Belgrade; notwithstanding that Yugoslavia was always allied to the UK and US but what would modern American regimes know of civilised behaviour and traditional alliances? Over the past fifteen years the US and NATO have allied themselves to known Islamic extremists and fascist groups that fought with Hitler’s Nazis during WWII, so if it walks and quacks like a duck, it ain’t no fuckin’ chicken!

 Rapacious Transnationals and Mega-corporations targeted by Oz Tax Department posted by joyce, 2014-03-18 11:19:47
The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) is a bureaucracy and the Oz government is owned by plutocrats and their multinational interests -- so what is wrong with the headline? (full story)

 Words, Lies and Truth posted by lexi, 2014-03-18 00:16:43
An impulse is followed by a word, which is followed by an image, which is followed by the writer. Language is quicksand, rock and various consistencies in between. Textual production is only capable of inferring truth, hinting at something that is both tangible and intangible but existent, constant and haunting in some cases. In this context is it entirely accurate to say that truth would be lethal to Barack Obama and his administration, yet liberating to the American people. (full story)

 Oz conservative government opens door to neo-colonial status for Australia posted by staff report via baz, 2014-03-16 22:02:01
Unrepresentative, minority ethnic Anglos welcome neo-colonial status for Australia, however, the overwhelming majority, including the traditional fighting Irish, Anglo independents, Europeans and Asian Aussies ALL deplore the slave mentality of the current spineless, obsequious, conservative, lick-arse government -- and the Labor Party is no different, note Gillard’s disgusting speech to the US congress.

 'Julius' Obama issues executive order to Freeze the Assets of 'his' opponents in the Ukraine/World posted by Barack H Obama via pontius, 2014-03-15 23:48:15
The situation in the Ukraine gets more absurd by the day -- absurd if you subscribe to law, order, rationality and sovereign rights.
The self-proclaimed 'paper Caesar' of the 'Rose Garden' and lackey for the ruling plutocrats, Barack Obama, has just diminished the reputation and international standing of the Office of the US president by issuing an idiotic proclamation allowing him, 'emperor of the world' to STEAL whatever he wants from his political opponents! Notwithstanding that his DELUDED exec order is in gross breach of International Law and violates the rights and sovereignty of every other nation and person on earth. (full story)

 Coles shares Oz customer data with overseas companies posted by Phillip Thomson via justin, 2014-03-15 09:55:00
Should we have expected any different from the Harvard trained UK citizen, cowboy CEO, Ian McLeod, who Wesfarmers unwisely employed to run Coles into the Federal courts and DISREPUTE for numerous breaches of local trade practices. (full story)

America: a measure of subjugation -- a vanquished population posted by judd, 2014-03-15 01:14:31
Look no further than your nose to verify the measure of subservience of the American population. We recall in very recent recorded history that unregulated Wall St rogues fraudulently deceived the entire world which act resulted in the global economic collapse of 2008. The major offenders were the big Wall St banks or the “too big to fail" mega-banks, particularly Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan and of course the two CEOs at their respective helms, Lloyd Blankfein and Jamie Dimon, two of the most arrogant, unrepentant crooks that ever walked free; in fact they wear their freedom after committing the most obvious frauds/crimes, like a badge, as evidence that it is really they who rule America.

The State, the Deep State, and the Wall Street Overworld posted by Peter Dale Scott via spino, 2014-03-13 21:27:26
In the last decade it has become more and more obvious that we have in America today what the journalists Dana Priest and William Arkin have called two governments: the one its citizens were familiar with, operated more or less in the open: the other a parallel top secret government whose parts had mushroomed in less than a decade into a gigantic, sprawling universe of its own, visible to only a carefully vetted cadre – and its entirety…visible only to God.1 (full story)

 Crimea: don't miss the signs posted by johnno, 2014-03-13 11:52:35
America has more gall than Hitler ever had, and we saw how far Hitler got before fate caught up with him. Putin is now assailed from all sides, including inside Russia; China is adopting its usual cowardly position on the sidelines -- former allies abandoned by Russia when the US illegally attacked them now watch Russia getting a taste -- what goes around clearly comes around!

  I have the Poetry, what do you have? posted by lexi, 2014-03-13 09:08:50
The world is not made of winners and losers as the mass media would have you believe, it is comprised of the living and the Dead as was stated plainly in times of old.
"When you make the two one
and make the inside like the outside
and the outside like the inside
and the above like the below,
and that you might make
the male and the female one
and the same,
so the male might not be male
nor the female be female,
when you make eyes
in place of an eye
and a hand in place
of a hand and a foot
in place of a foot,
an image in place
of an image -
then you will enter [the kingdom]." -- from the GOT (full story)

 NSA's TURBINE server pumps 'malware into MILLIONS of PCs' posted by Iain Thomson via tone, 2014-03-13 03:36:59
This piece is for specialists so I'm very sorry lamers, u'll jus have to go watch American idol and other digital effluent on your idiot boxes! HOWEVER,
IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THE ACTIVITIES DESCRIBED IN THE ARTICLE BELOW ARE IN FLAGRANT VIOLATION OF NUMEROUS COMMUNICATION LAWS IN AUSTRALIA AND MANY OTHER WESTERN NATIONS. THE QUESTION ARISES WHAT ARE THE GOVERNMENTS OF THESE NATIONS DOING ABOUT GROSSLY ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES, INCLUDING PAN SURVEILLANCE, CONDUCTED BY THE AMERICAN NSA IN THEIR COUNTRIES? THAT IS THE REAL ISSUE! DEMOCRATIC GOVERNMENTS ARE SUPPOSED TO REPRESENT YOUR INTERESTS AND WISHES, MORONS -- or should we let this one pass like all the other criminal activities (extra-judicial killing, etc) the USA engages in on a DAILY BASIS?
