 Oz Jihadists' Passports Cancelled posted by staff report via hasan, 2013-12-20 21:48:55
One wonders at times what Oz 'intelligence' agencies do besides run errands for the NSA and Washington (Indonesian phone hacking) and try to find their dicks to have a piss -- there is such a thing as local security, lackey dunces. However, with a record over the past few decades of totally incompetent governments of both stripe, it is little wonder that (former) chiefs of AFP are drunks and ASIO is too busy navel gazing and serving the US to NOTICE that Oz underground Jihadist groups have been thriving.

  Corrupt Puppet Putin Promotes Globalist Surveillance Agenda posted by Lukas I. Alpert via uri, 2013-12-19 22:32:30
Washington is in deep trouble as a result of Snowden’s revelations about an impending GLOBAL mass surveillance State. Puppet politician, ‘hope and change’ Obama, clearly cannot deal with lying his way out of this crisis alone. So who do the oligarchs and plutocrats send on an errand to support Obama but Vladimir ‘deposit #’ Putin! (full story)

 Understanding the Power Dynamic posted by styx, 2013-12-18 12:01:27
A French academic rightfully described power as process not object or possession. Power is a dynamic that is manifest as a result of the interplay of those affected by it. (full story)

 Snowden just doesn’t add up posted by jack, 2013-12-17 10:14:23
Professional analysts are trained to concentrate on patterns, flows of information that others do not see immediately. Sometimes it’s the pattern that reveals what was not intended to be revealed; other times it’s an anomaly, a break in the pattern, that indicates the truth of the matter. As can be appreciated it’s the way things fit or do not fit that illuminates what is generally intended to remain in the shadows; and so expert analysts are paid huge amounts by governments and agencies, as their skills are indeed rare and in high demand -- a good analyst is worth a team of spies in the field and a trove of digital metadata that requires processing/interpretation. But skill and expertise are not on issue here, the obvious is! (full story)

Pro-Israeli Saudi Royals Livid over Exclusion in U.S.-Iranian Talks posted by Jay Solomon via jan, 2013-12-16 21:18:31
The U.S. has historically stabbed almost every former partner and ally in the back in pursuit of its own interests -- so what's new, you inbred, corrupt Saudi Royals?
Perhaps a future that excludes Israel and a diminishing Saudi oil supplier is troublesome to some. The South Australian Coober Pedy basin contains more oil reserves than the Saudis ever had -- you have just lost your leverage, Faisal, now contend with the angry Arab masses you have screwed for centuries.

Digital Money and the Toilet Paper Money Shuffle posted by mike, 2013-12-15 11:51:13
The video below spells out how the new non-production economy functions -- what becomes painfully evident as the video progresses is that this model is entirely unsustainable and self-destructive. What is worse is that this fabricated money is utilised to enslave the masses that are forced to toil -- real work production -- to service fabricated debts. (full story)

 The CIA created Frankenstein -- al-Qaeda -- breaks loose posted by stan, 2013-12-14 23:16:17
The following story from Beirut should not be taken at face value though some of it is accurate reporting. Try and understand Arab cultural ‘inferred communications’ and you would do well. The major story unfolds behind the scenes (between the lines) particularly Saudi and various Gulf States support of extremists. It is known that these Arab, pro-Israeli nations, are truly pissed off at America’s softening attitude to Shia Iran. However, regardless of how these peripheral issues pan out -- America forced to toe the Arab line no doubt -- it all adds up to one glorious REALITY; the DUMBARSE USA HAS LOST CONTROL! (full story)

  Russian mouse Putin making noises like a man again posted by dane, 2013-12-13 23:47:24
Little Vladimir Putin, president of Russia (shame on you Russia) seems to be suffering from memory loss. On the very rare occasions he makes assertive noises and behaves like the leader of a superpower, he invariably fails to follow-up on his stern words with ACTIONS or at least indications that he means what he says.

Reaping the Whirlwind posted by major mitchell, 2013-12-12 22:37:14
The USA has been using its CIA asset, al-Qaeda, to fight its wars in predominately Islamic nations in the Middle East and North Africa for some time. It appeared as an effective strategy though the situation always had the potential to backfire, as has just occurred in Syria. (full story)

 Clive Palmer MP, the ‘Pissed off’ Plutocrat posted by styx, 2013-12-10 21:59:17
Oz mining billionaire Clive Palmer entered the parliamentary arena for one reason only and that is because the conservative party he lavishly supported failed to favour him in his business dealings. Unlike other elite plutocrats that utilise more ‘subtle’ means of eliminating political impediments, like direct assassinations (JFK) and new ‘kill lists,’ Aussie Clive is a hands-on man and decided to enter Federal politics and teach them all a lesson in the exercise of real power -- in that sense he has one over traditional plutocrats Murdoch and Rinehart that rule via puppet proxies, Tony Abbott at the present time. But as we all know the DIRECT, hands-on approach is far more efficient and effective, eat your hearts out Rupert and Gina! (full story)

 The AFP does a NSA posted by darcy, 2013-12-10 07:49:28
The insular Australian Federal Police (AFP) seemingly undaunted by the entire world denouncing NSA style ‘deep packet’ surveillance is in the process of adopting the new technology for ‘real time’ surveillance/mega-information gathering and to hell with public opinion and Oz democracy. (full story)

 Tech Giants Feign Security Indignation posted by sylph, 2013-12-09 11:06:37
In probably the worst kept secret in Silicon Valley large data ‘management’ companies, including Google, MS, Facebook and Yahoo are making a very public scramble to encrypt user data in the hope that the uninformed buy the bullshit and continue to support their services -- it’s all about reputation loss and the bottom line.
