 Open Warfare: Israel Attacks Damascus posted by staff report via sam, 2013-05-05 02:02:57
In a second attack in as many days Israel has hit targets in the Syrian capital Damascus. Gutless Syrian allies Russia and China remain inactive in the face of this open aggression by US proxy Israel. Indeed, the corrupt Plutocratic dollar seems to extend into the political capitals of Asian superpowers, we note a recent visit by errand boy US Secretary of State, John Kerry, to buy inaction from Moscow. There is NOW no excuse whatsoever for allied support of Syria against known genocidal aggressor, ISRAEL, conducting yet another open warfare campaign against a Sovereign State. (full story)

Corporations have little regard for human rights: UN posted by Carey L. Biron via stan, 2013-05-04 08:17:10
WASHINGTON, May 4 2013 (IPS) - A United Nations expert group is warning that too many gaps remain in implementing new safeguards among businesses based in the United States, both in terms of their domestic and international operations, to ensure the protection of human rights of workers and communities affected by those operations.

Nuclear Armed US Proxy Zionist Israel Attacks Syria -- Where is Russia and China? posted by zed, 2013-05-03 23:10:55
A very pertinent question as both the Russian and Chinese central governments appear to be in the pockets of Western Plutocrats. It may NOW be necessary for aware military leaders of both nations to take control of the situation. A deliberate paralysis on the part of Chinese and Russian political leaders in the past has seen Yugoslavia, Iraq, Libya and a host of smaller African and Central Asian nations SACRIFICED to minority WESTERN financial and corporate interests at the cost of countless innocent human lives.

  Two Obamas -- the Script and the Reality posted by Charles Davis via sal, 2013-05-02 08:37:59
"The idea that we would still detain forever a group of individuals that have not been tried, that is contrary to who we are, that is contrary to our interests and it has to stop.” That was Obama in initial election mode condemning Guantanamo Bay and duping the global population. Though we are happy to state that only Americans believe that black, lying, servant to Wall St, today. (full story)

 Angry Workers and Unionists Unite on May Day posted by staff report via sam, 2013-05-01 22:39:26
This story has barely been covered by the Corporate mass media, yet the international action is monumental -- take a guess why, 'they' fear it! It is clear that when corruption overtakes justice the task falls onto the shoulders of the PEOPLE; when government fails to represent majority interests it is overthrown -- history has borne witness to these events countless times, when will they ever learn?

 Choice Tidbit posted by caz, 2013-04-29 22:52:45
We recall only a few decades past how both the Soviet Union and the USA would fight proxy wars in various regions throughout the world. You could almost guarantee that wherever one superpower was backing rebels or fascists the other was arming and training the local fighting opposition, it was a fact of life prior to the collapse of the USSR.

 The Criminal CIA 'Biggest Source of Corruption in Afghanistan' posted by Jon Queally via sal, 2013-04-29 11:26:56
Confirming what many policy experts have known for some time, a New York Times headline in Monday's print edition describes how the most corrupting influence within the Afghan government of Hamid Karzai is not innate cronyism or tribal favoritism, but rather the suitcases full of US cash delivered to the Presidential Palace over the last decade by the CIA.

 Gillard: Austerity by Any Other Name posted by baz, 2013-04-29 09:22:05
The reviled and extraordinarily INCOMPETENT Oz PM, Juliar Gillard, recently hinted at European style austerity measures for Australia in her latest press release, which is an extremely unusual/revealing turn of events considering her previous promises and the status of Australia as an extremely wealthy nation.

SF Gay 'Pride' Abandons Gay Hero Bradley Manning posted by tony, 2013-04-28 01:06:08
The supremely cowardly stance of American (SF) gays is not surprising given the gay CONSERVATIVE push to legalise gay marriage -- we should not forget that marriage is probably the most conservative of all social arrangements. And to think that the gay movement in the 80's was radical -- a persecuted minority group struggling against conservative values has now performed a complete inversion and EMBRACED conservatism -- so what else is new in upside-down, HYPOCRITICAL America?

“This is one damn fine idea, what took us so long to see a simple solution that was right in front of our eyes for Christ’s sake” -- Senator John McCain.

 Economic Blockade of Wikileaks Ruled Unlawful posted by Elizabeth C. via bub, 2013-04-26 13:44:16
I have no time for Assange or any other despotic, fascist ego type and I couldn't give a fuck how 'gifted' or 'intelligent' others say he is. The issue is INJUSTICE and it seems that justice has finally been served; the clearly uncorrupted Icelandic Supreme Court ruled that the economic blockade of donations to WikiLeaks is unlawful.

 Obama Authorizes Warrantless ‘Cybersecurity’ Surveillance - Immunity Given to ISPs posted by Trevor Timm via sal, 2013-04-26 09:31:22
"Good evening viewers, our special guest tonight is, 'none of your business,' from the Ministry of Truth.
Minister NYB, would you care to clarify certain concepts that people may be having difficulty with.
"My pleasure, we all know that 'Peace is War,' 'Freedom is constant Surveillance, and democracy is indefinite detention without charge, trial or due process.'
Yes, but how do those policies separate the administration from organised crime?
Well, the short answer is they don't, but you have forgotten the 52nd statute, 'CRIME IS LAW'
O, of course, how silly of me! (full story)

   Obama and the Chomsky Deception posted by Mike Stivers via stan, 2013-04-25 09:28:28
