  The Media Sainthood of Mandela and how to Compromise Freedom posted by jagga, 2013-12-08 21:41:48
Firstly, allow me to neutralise inane criticism and state, with the utmost respect, that Nelson Mandela was an exceptional individual with a rare determination and tenacity -- his life is his testimonial. However, Mandela learned late to compromise his principles and allow the ruling overlords of his nation to maintain their hold on its resources, wealth and economy, the nation’s sovereignty in other words. Media figure-heads, fanfare, slogans, songs and waving flags do not constitute real FREEDOM -- OWNERSHIP of a nation’s natural wealth by the people is the first prerequisite for a just and free society and that clearly has not occurred since Mandela took leadership of South Africa. Today the nation is much the same as before, minus the overt racism; a two tier society of wealthy elites and a black slave class. (full story)

 An Empire Built on Misinformation and Propaganda posted by sirg, 2013-12-07 22:03:45
The short-lived American Empire was unique in that the primary means utilised for its imperial expansion were misinformation and propaganda. The USA was able to spread its influence mainly via the LIES it disseminated to the global population. It wasn’t until the information revolution in recent decades that the charade was fully exposed and global consciousness turned AGAINST the vile, mass murdering, thieving nation that America actually is.

The Follow-up Story posted by sol, 2013-12-05 10:27:13
The masses have a pea brain, research this fact academically or simply observe media magnates (maggots) like Rupert Murdoch, who verify the fact by arrogantly flying in and out of nations and influencing the outcome of Federal Elections. (full story)

 America Provokes China with nuclear capable B-52 Bomber fly-overs posted by lars, 2013-12-03 23:47:19
There is nothing unusual regarding America’s bullying tactics except for the fact that the U.S.A -- like all cowardly bullies -- usually applies its CLEARLY terrorist, stand-over tactics on much weaker small nations, like Yugoslavia, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, Sudan, Somalia etc; however, it has never attempted, for obvious reasons, to intimidate a nuclear superpower. So whoever initiated this provocative fly-over of Chinese air space under puppet Obama’s watch, requires a good carpeting if not a complete career trashing. What reaction did the U.S. hope to achieve, China cowering in fear and running? (full story)

 Oz government dodging heat on domestic spying revelations posted by len, 2013-12-03 02:19:32
Various government ministers including the PM are displaying their ignorance of the term “metadata” or are simply attempting to use the word incorrectly in a feeble feign designed to reduce 'heat' resulting from local spying allegations. It has been revealed that Oz spies and responsible government ministers were not just willing but eager to share (personal) citizen details with FOREIGN -- US, UK, NZ and Canadian spook agencies -- which (data) included medical, legal, phone records, names etc, Internet usage history, emails, social networking, all digital information etc; in fact, almost everything that is considered PRIVATE by Aussie citizens.

 Female employees of U.S. legal firm instructed to close their legs posted by jaxie, 2013-12-02 12:19:49
The simple response to this outrageous hyper-personal assault is to abandon wearing knickers altogether and engage in Sharon Stone leg cross-overs; but alas, we are in corporate controlled America where unchecked corporate power is now invading women’s crotches and cleavages -- how does it go again? “Only in America!” (full story)

It's PLAIN to see, SLAVES -- there is no freedom if the people are subject to State surveillance. In fact, global surveillance is the most intrusive form of slave management. That is obvious fact and the current REALITY -- you pathetic cowards! (full story)

Massive Ideological/Political Failures posted by stan, 2013-11-29 00:26:22
Plain to see, most of the great political 'isms’ of the 20th century have FAILED completely.
The binary opposing twins of communism/socialism-capitalism/democracy failed almost simultaneously though the latter was not given the press it deserved by the western, capitalist-run media; the unpleasant political reality that prevails today in most of the developed world is plutocratic totalitarianism -- which applies to the elites of China and Russia as much as it does to modern western totalitarian plutocracies.

America's Plan to Kill Online Privacy Rights Everywhere posted by Colum Lynch via sirg, 2013-11-21 23:31:12
America is a very well known criminal quantity today; there is no disguising its attempts to implement a global Orwellian Big Brother State in order to prevent any opposition to its nefarious agenda of Imperial global domination. If we allow these plans to succeed then we deserve our fate -- that simple. Nevertheless, the enduring fact remains, the PEOPLE are the most powerful social force on the planet that is why the U.S. fears and designates EVERYONE as ENEMY. Ruling forces in America seek to destroy all public privacy while they continue to maintain their secrecy -- who is watching the PROVEN criminal watchers, I ask YOU? Act to prevent ALL such draconian policies before it's too late. (full story)

 Torturers, Mass Murderers and Wall St. Rogues Go Free, Hacktivist gets 10 Years posted by sem, 2013-11-17 02:39:55
After the tragedy of hacker Aaron Swartz, who suicided rather than face 30 years jail, the 10 year sentence handed down to Jeremy Hammond for serving truth and transparency in the public interest, is not surprising, though it makes one's blood boil nevertheless. (full story)
