 There IS a Price to Pay! posted by lou, 2014-01-19 23:16:09
Have you ever considered how thoroughly inept western democratic governments are today compared with pre and post WWII governments? Of course there is a reason for these abysmal failures today; I would cite the Oz experience, Hawke, Keating, Howard, Rudd, Gillard and Abbott, as clear examples but as we are all aware the situation is far worse in the USA, UK and most Western European nations.

  Pfc. Manning Honoured with Award from Intel Veterans posted by mitch, 2014-01-19 00:23:09
Pfc. Bradley (Chelsea) Manning has been honoured by his (military) intelligence peers this week for his singular courage and exceptional moral integrity in the face of enormous pressures, including relentless victimisation and torture. Manning emerged intact, stronger and finally victorious in his fight for justice. The treatment he received at the hands of the criminal U.S. military constitutes torture regardless of the neutered opinion of U.S.-controlled UN officials, are you reading this, Ban Ki Moon, you lapdog?

The Hemingway Solution posted by sal, 2014-01-18 11:10:57
Tediously predictable are American officials calling for the death of whistle-blowers (Ed Snowden) but this time adding a personal, psychiatric touch. “I would love to put a bullet in his head,“ one Pentagon official told BuzzFeed. We would ask whether it’s because Snowden shone a light on how ineffective the NSA really is at fighting real crime/terrorism, with virtually no major successes in that regard, or is it simply because the nation is now run by criminal psychopaths that have no regard whatsoever for the law or Constitution?

It’s Bloody Obvious but Hidden from American Eyes! posted by baz, 2014-01-18 00:48:38
An old friend used to repeat a slogan, “you can hit me but don’t shit me,” which made no sense to me at the time -- put it down to youthful naivety. It often raised a laugh in unfamiliar company but I still didn’t get it! Then the most dreaded thought began to plague my mind, I may really be an American not a rough, penal colony-raised, aware Aussie. (full story)

 ‘I see men as trees, walking’ posted by zed, 2014-01-16 12:45:39
I hope you haven’t missed the ‘symbols for the trees’ in various religious texts. Tree symbolism is common to all cultures and religions but why and what does tree symbolism hide from the profane? (full story)

 The US and its Muslim Terrorist Puppets -- a long history posted by hasan, 2014-01-15 11:23:13
The recent exposure of America’s tight working relationship with Saudi-Israeli backed Sunni terrorists is no surprise as that information has been freely available on the public record for decades. (full story)

Volgograd Attacks linked to Washington via Saudis -- no surprises! posted by uri, 2014-01-13 23:12:56
“We control them” (terrorists) bragged inbred moron, Saudi prince Bandar in a heated exchange with Putin. The prince also threatened Russia’s hosting of the Olympics, which ‘could’ be targeted by ‘his’ terrorists. Of course the Saudi royals couldn’t be closer to Washington unless they were literally fucking the administration, which is possible considering Obama’s known homosexual predilections! But not to digress. (full story)

The NSA and "Happiness Management" posted by stan, 2014-01-12 01:20:12
This is a gem of a revelation because it's totally accurate and highlights the utter absurdity/insanity of the U.S. administration. This 'philosophy' applies across the board with the techno-weapons industrial complex. (full story)

Material Wealth Rejection Common to Jesus and Buddha posted by jude, 2014-01-10 10:08:34
The one outstanding characteristic common to Gautama Buddha and Jimmy Jesus Christ was what, morons? You guessed it, the emphatic rejection of material wealth and temporal power. Coincidence? I think not, more likely enlightened decision making; but a little refresher for the those not entirely familiar with the stories. (full story)

 The Sweet Taste of Victory posted by lixar, 2014-01-09 10:03:27
We need not gloat or exaggerate in the slightest, though, as the much smaller force, we would be fully justified and entitled to do so; no, all we need do at this stage is reveal some basic historical facts/truths about the war on the world’s leading civilian killing, torturing, child killing, extra-judicial murdering, resource plundering, criminal State -- can you guess? Of course only one nation fits that dastardly bill today, indeed, the thoroughly corrupt and profoundly criminal, USA. (full story)

 Only Americans tolerate such extreme Hypocrisy and brazen Double Standards from gov posted by Finian Cunningham via stan, 2014-01-08 21:30:03
US top diplomat John Kerry must have taken us for fools [not really, he is simply aware that the vast majority of Americans ARE fools]. Earlier this week, speaking in Saudi Arabia, he warned that [CIA created] al-Qaeda in Syria and Iraq are “the most dangerous players in the region.” (full story)

 Giant Lies of Capitalism posted by sam, 2014-01-07 11:12:29
Some of us would remember the big sell of modern appliances and gadgets especially computers a few decades past. They were all sold to society as labor saving and time saving devices, which promised the populations of developed nations more recreational leisure time - what a tragic joke/LIE that turned out to be!

Orwellian Inversion - Terrorism Scaremongers Support Terrorism posted by blogger via steve, 2014-01-07 08:59:02
In response to the revelation that the NSA spies on Congress, Congressman Peter King says that the NSA should spy on Congress, to make sure congress members don’t call Al Qaeda.
King is a fine one to talk … he supported the Irish Republican Army for decades, even though the IRA was designated as a terrorist group. (full story)
