 State of Delusion Address: Rebuilding America With War Crimes posted by Finian Cunningham via neal, 2013-02-13 09:06:45
From beginning to end, Barack Obama’s State of the Union speech was replete with delusion and falsifications. His promise of building an “America that lasts” was predicated on a sentimental, but utterly disingenuous notion of selfless teamwork. The invocation of American military “heroes” and their “achievements” during nine years of waging war on Iraq as an exemplar of how to salvage his nation from economic and social catastrophe was both sickening and laughable.

 There is no way to legalise extra-judicial, targeted murder, America posted by judd, 2013-02-12 22:44:43
I make the accusation at America collectively, not to puppet fall guy Obama and other political servants of the minority, unrepresentative corporate and banking elite. (full story)

 Mystery porn bug confounds Google posted by Asher Moses via tpee, 2013-02-12 05:03:41
It is no secret that only fifth-rate hackers work for BiG Brother Corporations such as Google. First rate hackers work for Democracy, Free speech and Liberty. Now, extrapolate this minor 'anomaly' which Google dunces are unable to remedy and consider more sophisticated attacks of this nature that would cripple Google -- a mega-corporation which falsely imagines, as market leader, it can do as it pleases and simply buy its way out of trouble as it has recently done with the US anti-trust regulator. Google also forgets how it got to where it is today! You reading this Schmidt, you reprehensible deviant? Read on and weep into the future. (full story)

 Coles Supermarkets - a clear case of mismanagement posted by shopper, 2013-02-11 08:30:29
Readers will recall our regular posts on 'Coles' (search box) supermarkets in Australia and clear cases of top-down mismanagement, false advertising, reconstituted milk products, patently false claims of food freshness, and the 'importance' of customer relations. (full story)

Data Suppression and Censorship Today posted by bosey, 2013-02-10 22:18:00
Since Google avoided heavy penalties and restrictions from the US anti-trust regulator -- by spending $25 million on ‘lobbying’ (corruption) inernet data ‘management’ has taken a turn for the worse; Google now does not announce or apologise for new algorithms that disadvantage some sites, chairwoman Eric Schmidt, just approves it and to hell with the rest, as he now owns the regulator -- corruption money talks!

U.K. Becomes Vassal State of U.S. posted by Conrad Jaeger via sal, 2013-02-09 01:17:18
How does it feel Britannia? No real economy to speak of and now this -- a sorry fate awaits all aspiring Imperialist nations. Keep your eyes on your usurper, America, it is destined to be the shortest lived empire in history; it is failing faster than it is expanding. Though to be accurate, we are aware it is the same mercantile, commercial forces at work -- they have merely shifted base position to the USA. The notion of 'nations' is for the ignorant slave masses to rally behind in times of need -- anyone got a coloured piece of cloth, I need a 'flag' to wave? Get with it sheeple, it's the tiny global elite vs the overwhelming global masses -- nations/States are ideological corrals for herd animals. (full story)

NDAA provision -- old plan to silence dissidents now realised posted by trudy, 2013-02-08 09:30:14
When puppet Obama dutifully signed the NDAA into law for his masters -- the global Banking and Corporate elite -- on ‘new year’s eve,’ few people realised that targeting citizens for indefinite detention had been planned almost a decade earlier. The evidence surfaced in American vassal State, Australia, in 2005. (full story)

Make Believe Democracy in Oz posted by stacy, 2013-02-07 21:57:23
The universally reviled Oz PM, Juliar Gillard -- who represents Washington (bases and occupation troops) and the Corporate/Banking sector (Carbon Tax) -- recently announced that Aussies will go to the polls in September. Normally this news would have been greeted with great relief as the Oz population now has a known date on which to exercise its prerogatives and turf Gillard and her witless Party into the political wilderness for eternity, but not this time; the choice presents no real choice at all!

 Obama Launches Neo-Goebbels Era posted by Patrick Henningsen via mitch, 2013-02-07 08:14:58
How much money does it cost to get populations to think a certain way? Answer: it requires a blank cheque. But can Americans really afford it? (full story)

 Obama Grants Himself License To Kill posted by Judge A. P. Napolitano, 2013-02-07 06:50:25
After stonewalling for more than a year, federal judges and ordinary citizens who sought the revelation of its secret legal research justifying the presidential use of drones to kill persons overseas – including Americans – claiming the research was so sensitive and so secret that it could not be revealed without serious consequences, the government sent a summary of its legal memos to an NBC newsroom earlier this week.

 Report: Over 50 Corrupt Administrations Assisted the CIA Outsource Torture posted by Spencer Ackerman via jan, 2013-02-05 21:31:32
In the years following 9/11 the CIA ran a worldwide program to hold and interrogate suspected 'terrorists' and members of al-Qaeda, sometimes brutally. It wasn’t alone. The agency had literally dozens of partners in crime that helped in various ways large and small. However, it has never been clear until now just how many nations enabled CIA rendition and torture on behalf of the criminally corrupt American administration. (full story)

 Unlike its competition Coles supermarkets are NOT the 'Fresh Food People' posted by shopper, 2013-02-05 10:26:52
Yet another example of Coles inept management sees Royal Gala apples on sale this week at $3/kilo but things are not as rosy on the inside as they are on the outside. An unacceptable percentage of these out-of-season apples have browning flesh on the inside! This is the result of extended storage in oxygen depleted nitrogen storage environments which is able to store apples for years, but at a nutritional cost. Long storage 'fresh' food suffers severe nutritional deterioration though it may appear nice enough. But Coles management just can't seem to get the balance right, or is it just greed and speculation taking precedence over quality and health regulations? (full story)

 COURAGE, The Missing Crucial Ingredient posted by kris, 2013-02-04 10:12:18
I am always amused by the articles and lectures of American progressives and leftist commentators, like Chris Hedges, calling on the American masses to free themselves from the yoke of Corporate bondage and rally to the call of freedom and democracy; notwithstanding, few Americans know the meaning of the word, democracy!
