The Last Thing posted by jean, 2017-11-05 20:53:00
It may surprise many but the last thing people wish to hear today is the TRUTH, which, as most westerners know, sets us free. But that is exactly the problem. Truth is challenging but propaganda and lies placate and help induce populations into ‘safe’ fantasy worlds comforted by numbers, which clearly is the preferred option as is apparent. Facing harsh reality which truth demands, is anathema to the majority living in a dreamworld -- the American population is a good example, for instance; Americans are so averse to reality/truth they have elevated a buffoon and pathological liar (a desired necessity for fantasists) to the highest office in the land, in which position he remains even though he is compromising the nation and people on a daily basis, BUT LIES are comforting, as they enable responsibility to be deferred.

Wednesday’s hearings by the House and Senate Intelligence committees on “extremist” political views served as the occasion for members of Congress to urge technology companies to flagrantly violate the US Constitution by censoring political speech, carrying out mass surveillance, and muzzling journalists in pursuit of the government’s geopolitical aims.

 'Fucking disgraceful': Russell Crowe unloads on Manus Island Crisis posted by Fergus Hunter via shirl, 2017-11-01 22:49:12
First of all many thanks to Russell for jolting the nation's conscience. All humans have a tendency to run from unpleasant realities but some are unavoidable and MUST be dealt with in a civilised ENLIGHTENED manner, even it if takes a little rough characteristic Aussie speech to get the point home. Well done, Russell Crowe, and please do not stop there, you have the support of the majority and if you continue to use your international fame and notoriety to compromise the current, inhuman, despicable government, known for its lies, political deceptions and thorough incompetence, you and the majority of Australians which were born overseas and second generation ethnic Australians, which now comprise over 51% of the population, would win the day and restore Australia's humanitarian reputation and common decency for the WORLD to see. Put simply, Turnbull, Hanson and their xenophobic values DO NOT REPRESENT THE MAJORITY OF AUSTRALIANS. (full story)

Terrorists Buy Re-labelling In Washington posted by Philip Giraldi via jess, 2017-11-01 01:36:06
If you want to change a group of terrorists who have killed American overseas into something that appears to be much more benign, all you have to do is pay off the right people in Washington. With enough money, you can even open a nice plush lobbying office on Pennsylvania Avenue in the District of Columbia, not too far from the White House and Capitol Hill. (full story)

The Social Psychosis of the USA posted by dulcie, 2017-10-29 21:53:29
True, there is nothing new under the sun in the affairs of men. People outside the USA wonder how it could be possible that a severely flawed pathological individual could become leader of a once powerful nation -- America in reality is now weaker than Russia and China if superior weaponry and the ability of military personnel are the measures taken, research the matter for yourselves if you are able, doodles, but to return to the narrative. The answer for anyone outside America is obvious, only a nation lost in unreality and delusion would elect a political dunce and nutter, divorced from reality as its leader; in other words, as is the condition of a nation so is the condition of its leader, not the reverse -- a simple deduction to make.

The recently released, heavily redacted files withheld from the public for over half a century relating to the JFK assassination by the deep state, proves unquestionably that Donald Trump, the man (coward) that boasted he would “drain the Washington swamp,” is a TRAITOR, to both the nation and the American people.
