In an American age of the 'disposition matrix,' a euphemism for secretly and unaccountably selecting targets for Obama's extra-judicial, mafia kill list, it seems that people have 'taken the fight to the plutocrats;' transnational ExxonMobil oil exec, Nicholas Mockford, was assassinated in Brussels on October 14 after leaving a restaurant.

 Team Obama Justifies the Killing of a 16-Year-Old American posted by Conor Friedersdorf via sal, 2012-10-26 01:19:31
Cornered by reporters with video cameras, former White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs, a senior adviser to President Obama's reelection campaign, attempted to defend the kill list that the Obama Administration uses to determine whose body should next be blown apart. American drone strikes have resulted in hundreds of dead innocents in the last four years, even as the program has killed a number of high-level al Qaeda terrorists. There are two remarkable things about the ensuing exchange, which eventually turns into a discussion about a dead 16-year-old kid -- see video: (full story)

The Real Incumbent is 'Plutocracy' posted by Richard (RJ) Eskow via sal, 2012-10-23 23:08:04
The conventional wisdom says that when a President runs for re-election the race becomes a referendum on the economy.

 The Mark of a US Client State posted by rex, 2012-10-23 11:59:29
It is a simple matter to identify an American client State these days -- the local media is full of irrelevant America news, like presidential debates, which the world regards as scripted drama between two puppets serving exactly the same interests, pure charades. (full story)

 America's Great Leap Backward posted by dan, 2012-10-22 02:05:21
Consider if you will, the circumstances that led to today's permanent imperialist wars.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union and with China slowly emerging from a pushbike society, the USA was at a threshold, to lead the world unchallenged into a co-operative peace of united nations or to make a retrogressive blunder and opt for military conquest, Empire! (full story)

 Former Oz Senator Exposes Gillard Government Inept Charade posted by staff report via reg, 2012-10-20 21:45:44
With the advantage of an insider removed from active politics, former conservative Senator, Nick Minchin, spoke freely and accurately (for once) when he referred to the $25m cost of obtaining a TEMPORARY seat on the UN Security Council as, "disgusting!" He also highlighted that Oz has all the influence of a neutered bull or toothless tiger in influencing the decisions of permanent members on the Council. (full story)

John Howard's political pawn, David Hicks, vindicated. A US appeals court has highlighted that Hicks' retrospective charge is invalid. However, no such claim could be made regarding the evidence that exists damning former PM John 'aluminium tubing' Howard, as a gutless lackey, mass murderer and war criminal. (full story)

 Carbon Tax, boon for Bankers no effect on Climate posted by staff report via sam, 2012-10-19 00:09:59
The reason CO2 emissions increase dramatically each year is simply because energy needs and other Corporate factors force nations to abandon pledges to reduce emissions in favour of other priorities. Make no mistake, designers of this Tax, Goldman Sachs and mega-corporations, have always known it would be ineffective in mitigating global warming. However, it provided and excellent 'green' excuse to implement a Carbon-based penalty economy for the monied elites. (full story)

Rogue Superpower posted by jude, 2012-10-17 12:42:35
As the WORLD faces the existence of a rogue, terrorist superpower in the form of Zionist banker, corporate controlled imperialist America and its pathetic lackey client state allies, whose leaders vie with each other to see which is more servile or expert in kowtowing to Washington, the growing cynical masses are confronted with an extremely pressing, critical choice; are they to continue passively accepting criminal leadership, increasing social divisions and more global destruction or are they ready to say enough is enough and alter the destructive direction their UNREPRESENTATIVE minority-ruled nations are taking? THESE ARE THE MAJOR CRITICAL ISSUES OF OUR TIME, not the scripted TRANSPARENT, claptrap presidential debates or created political gender war distractions that are fed to us via the privately owned (CFR) controlled mass media!
