   The Digital Slaves of the 21st Century posted by lilith, 2013-01-06 23:46:35
It hadn’t really hit home until I read this on a previous post: “In ancient Rome the State utilized chains and physical bonds to restrain their slaves, however, today's new slave groups have been far more effectively enslaved via DIGITAL MEANS, especially [via] the ubiquitous 'smartphone' and other … 'smart' software packages and portable digital devices. Indeed, today's slaves wear their digital chains with pride; they derive a (perverse) sense of belonging as members of the largest group of slaves known to history.” (full story)

 Puppet President and LIAR signs Pentagon bill Maintaining Guantanamo and Indefinite Detention posted by Bill Van Auken via stan, 2013-01-06 01:06:25
Are there any Americans left 'hoping' against 'hope' that the US president is not a lying, cheating servant to the Plutocrats? If so they sure must have sore arses! (full story)

 US Police and Agencies Puppets to the Corporations posted by tom, 2013-01-05 23:44:58
In yet another instance of US state regulators breaking laws and committing crimes to serve their Corporate masters, lawyers for MegaUpload's Kim Dotcom have discovered more improprieties! Soon the entire WORLD will be in NO DOUBT whatsoever just who the US military, FBI, CIA and State police REALLY SERVE -- and it's not the public! (full story)

 Google's war on ART and culture -- Poetry only Site De-listed posted by gwen, 2013-01-04 23:40:04
Google recently spent $25 million to influence the outcome of a US anti-trust inquiry into its proven unfair and monopolist practices, specifically, manipulating data searches. In any other nation, using money, promises or coercion to directly or indirectly influence the outcome of a regulator's inquiry into improper practices would be considered a serious crime but not in Corporate controlled America where corruption is systemic and hides behind tortured language, in this case, "lobbying!" Well, lobbying may be fine but when huge sums of money are utilised to buy favours and 'sway' a regulator's decision, we call it CRIMINAL CORRUPTION and a full inquiry should be instituted into the ENTIRE sordid AFFAIR!

Self-Imposed Limitations and Extra-Dimensionality posted by ned, 2013-01-04 07:58:47
Few people are aware of the constraints they impose on themselves -- to be unaware and accept learned habitual responses is considered normal these days. Few realise that we humans have an amazing, almost magical resource available to us should dire circumstances threaten or a strong need arise. (full story)

 Google: you call it 'Lobbying,' we call it insidious Corruption posted by Tony Romm via jess, 2013-01-03 21:03:45
Instead of ignoring Washington — as rival Microsoft did before its costly monopolization trial in the 1990s — Google spent about $25 million in lobbying, made an effort to cozy up to the Obama administration and hired influential Republicans and former regulators. The company even consulted with the late Robert Bork and The Heritage Foundation and met with senators like John Kerry to make its case. In other words, these traditional outsiders worked the system from the inside. (full story)

 The FBI, Banks and Occupy - Stating the Obvious as 'News' posted by jan, 2013-01-01 11:02:21
The US alternative media is in a righteous buzz 'now' that it's been (conveniently) revealed that Corporatists, Bankers, the FBI and other State regulators worked closely together to destroy the ‘strawman’ OWS movement, which they originally created to flush out dissidents and make a violent propaganda statement. FBI documents obtained under FOI are 'revealing' though they have been "heavily redacted," that adds credulity to an otherwise absurd revelation of the obvious, but only in (lobotomised) America.

 We came, we coagulated, we Died! posted by Karen DeYoung via justin, 2012-12-31 10:40:08
Leading American psychopath Hillary Clinton has apparently developed a blood clot to the brain after a fall triggered by dehydration. Though I personally wish no direct harm to this ignorant, psychopathic, murdering bitch, I would refer to immutable universal laws of which Clinton and her ilk are entirely unaware. No-one gets out until every 'jot and tittle' is accounted for and the 'slate' is clean. (full story)

 It can only get worse! posted by wes, 2012-12-30 11:30:48
What could be worse than a single rogue superpower? Two or three criminal superpowers! The American presidential 'kill list' is focused on Yemen at present but the strikes are killing innocent women and children, not 'militants.' Russia and China remain oddly inactive and silent after a decade of uninterrupted Pentagon marauding around the globe. (full story)

 America fulfils Every Definition of a Terrorist State posted by Letta Tayler via justin, 2012-12-29 22:50:18
The following recent example only adds to the SIX (6) million plus INNOCENT CIVILIANS KILLED by the USA since the Indo-Chinese war -- a record of which every American can truly be proud!
Either by commission or omission every American is responsible; the population hides behind DENIAL and COMPLICIT PASSIVITY -- the, "look what your country is doing for YOU," myth actually reads, 'look what Corporatists and Plutocrats are doing for THEIR bottom line!' And to dispel another enduring American myth -- the WORLD HATES YOU because you are mass murderers, torturers and thieves! Get it straight, YOU CANNOT HIDE FROM THE TRUTH ANY LONGER. (full story)

The MYTH of Legal TORTURE and other American Myths posted by jude, 2012-12-28 22:57:15
There is probably no greater crime against humanity than the deliberate TORTURE of another human being, YET the United States falsely believes it has legalised this most heinous crime against all humanity! (full story)

Your Neighbour is YOU! posted by june, 2012-12-27 23:26:41
They just 'don't seem to get it' these days! America is RACING toward a Totalitarian State -- indefinite detention without charge or trial and extra-judicial (CRIMINAL) Presidential 'kill lists' -- and what are the irresistible masses doing about it, SWEET FUCK ALL? (full story)

US Sets New Record for Illegal Drone Strikes in Afghanistan posted by reg, 2012-12-26 22:36:06
Russia Today ran a story detailing the increased frequency of Drone strikes in Afghanistan this year. However, it hasn't yet occurred to Russia -- a party to the US criminal enterprise -- to supply the means to prevent these strikes as the US did successfully against the USSR. The solution is written in your own Russian history of defeat; how are tough and resilient Afghan tribesmen expected to combat Drones without support from a superpower? Are you also reading this yellow China? (full story)

Clarifying Your Inalienable Rights posted by judd, 2012-12-25 22:28:39
Powerful (minority criminal) forces are at work today destroying, by any means available, the Rights and Liberties we have enjoyed since our forefathers fought to have them enshrined in our founding documents and established into LAW. Clear proof of this trend exists in the form of an extra-judicial Presidential 'kill list' and the NDAA indefinite detention 'law' without charge or trial, which brazenly attacks the Fifth Amendment entitling all citizens to due process.
