  American Coup d' etat posted by Dr. Paul Craig Roberts via judd, 2013-07-15 00:40:59
America has suffered a coup d'etat, but the population is hesitant to acknowledge it. [Notwithstanding that the majority imagines we are speaking about a two-door car].
The regime ruling in Washington today lacks constitutional and legal legitimacy. Americans are ruled by usurpers who claim that the executive branch is above the law and that the US Constitution is a mere "scrap of paper." (full story)

 Glenn Greenwald attempts to distract from Snowden’s nothing-new ‘Leaks’ posted by lex, 2013-07-14 02:59:53
In a Guardian piece today, Ed Snowden’s carefully selected journo mouthpiece, Glenn Greenwald, is characteristically attacking Reuters for ‘manipulating’ an interview he conducted with another news outlet -- this entire scenario is becoming quite the entertainment of the week and may soon take on the character of a soap opera with Greenwald’s offended homosexual ‘sensitivity’ now interfering with objective reporting/reality. It is becoming quite the laughable matter in view of recent events; neither Greenwald nor Snowden have released any really compromising material to date, the material released so far has been known for decades and continues to be freely available in the public domain; i.e. that the NSA has been conducting ILLEGAL global surveillance for decades under various code names including the now infamous but widely known, “Echelon,” an earlier form of PRISM!

 Ed Snowden And The Born Yesterday Syndrome posted by mann, 2013-07-13 11:27:05
Syndrome - Definition: “A group of symptoms that collectively indicate or characterise a disease, psychological disorder, or other abnormal condition."
A plague of global proportions exists today; it is characterised by what has been described as a 24 hour memory and an inability to achieve even the slightest degree of objectivity. It is as though the masses live in a Matrix movie with particular emphasis on an infamous statement made by one of the characters who was aware of the enslaving program and fake steak he was eating but chose to live in the enslaving dreamworld rather than make the supreme effort to free himself from it's insidious and nefarious influence -- the first Matrix movie as an allegory of our time couldn't be more accurate!

 Snowden and the Failed Baiting of China posted by judd, 2013-07-12 12:16:36
According to reports released by WikiLeaks and Russia Today, Ed Snowden has accepted all offers of asylum, including Putin’s offer conditional to not releasing data that could “harm our American partners!" So if you ever wondered why Russia fed slavic Yugoslavia to the dogs and sat back and watched NATO/US devastate Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya and now Syria, then wonder no more, the Russian leadership is in bed with the criminally corrupt Americans or rather the moneyed forces that control the White House and Congress.

Walmart Rebuffed: Take note Oz (Coles) Supermarket Chain posted by Sarah Lazare via Coles shopper, 2013-07-12 02:24:20
The Washington DC city council passed a 'living-wage' bill Wednesday, rebuffing Wal-Mart's virulent public opposition to the legislation, which included a Tuesday op-ed in the Washington Post in which the retail giant declared it will pack its bags and leave the city before it pays humane wages.

 Bradley Manning Sold Out posted by mitch, 2013-07-11 13:18:59
There is something very disturbing about the Manning case and that is everyone involved, including Manning’s defence team, is playing charades. The media refers to this charade as a trial when in fact it is pure pretence. It is legally and logically IMPOSSIBLE to conduct a fair trial when the (proven) criminally accused (Pentagon) is sitting in judgement of the accuser (Manning); are we clear on that? It is simply impossible to obtain an impartial verdict in those circumstances. (full story)

 Ed Snowden’s Achievements to Date – None! posted by stan, 2013-07-10 12:05:44
The NSA whistleblower and duped journalist who was carefully selected to reveal what we already know -- that we are all under constant surveillance by the American NSA -- continue to occupy the ‘front pages’ around the western world to the great expense of other more critical news. (full story)

 To Foreign Julia Gillard Defenders and Apologists posted by sal, 2013-07-10 04:50:16
First, allow me to state emphatically that Oz has some of the most robust and protective family laws and anti-discrimination laws in the WORLD, many of which were pioneered by Aussie women -- you will note that it was one such pioneer, Germaine Greer, who referred to Gillard’s posterior as a, “big arse” while speaking disparagingly about Gillard’s awkward and poor taste in dress, on national TV. That is only ONE relevant issue the mass media chooses to sideline/omit when it seeks to sell or distract! Following are a just a few FACTUAL considerations to take into account when assessing why Gillard is loved by Washington and REVILED at home. Take note international media and I challenge all major outlets to oppose these verifiable, historical facts. (full story)

 Manning and the Prevailing INJUSTICE of American 'Justice' posted by judd, 2013-07-08 02:06:35
Bradley Manning's case was a farce from the beginning -- we have the absurd situation of the proven criminally accused placing the accuser on trial for revealing the accused, Pentagon, engages in constant and deliberate criminal activities. Yet the population goes along with this travesty of justice which is the military trial of Bradley Manning. So, I will state it again as plainly as I am able -- the Pentagon is a PROVEN criminal organisation which commits war and other crimes against humanity then deliberately i.e. consciously, attempts to hide those crimes from the public/world.

Non-Events of the Week posted by sayed, 2013-07-07 12:04:35
Remember the very first orchestrated uprisings against Mubarak in Egypt, after which the US attempted to install their puppet, Mohamed El Baradei as leader, well it looks like they may have succeeded 3rd time around; when will Egyptians learn to persist with their massive demos until they get what the majority wants?

 Obama attempts to Defend, Guilty until proven otherwise, NSA pan-surveillance posted by Renee Parsons via sal, 2013-07-05 11:41:43
While much of the country’s media was tracking whistleblower Edward Snowden’s whereabouts or questioning Glenn Greenwald’s journalistic credentials, President Obama took the opportunity to support NSA’s massive surveillance programs in a recent interview with Charlie Rose. (full story)

Peoples’ Victory in Egypt Portends Regional Reform posted by judd, 2013-07-04 12:12:15
As a result of massive civil protests in Egypt fundamentalist President Morsi has been deposed and a judge of the high court installed as an interim president until the matter is decided by the people, the military must be subordinate to the will of the people. It seems that the Arab Spring may have finally become a real peoples’ movement -- let’s hope it has and remains so. Moderates have secured an important victory by an overwhelming show of force which forced the military to remove Morsi from power -- 14 million citizens demanding a similar outcome is difficult to ignore.

 Rudd Could Win! posted by baz, 2013-07-04 01:01:09
There is a real though remote (at this stage) possibility that ‘hand-mirror’ Kevin Rudd could win the federal election by directly challenging the vacuity of the opposition’s policies, in fact they do not have any policies, only a ‘shopping list’ from the plutocrats, which Abbott obediently promised to follow should ‘they’ install him into office -- Abbott's only advantage is that he has Rinehart and Murdoch in his corner (at this stage).
