A World at War -- where are the Peacemakers? posted by William Hawes via jess, 2017-04-28 21:44:57
Where is the outrage regarding the Trump administration’s bellicose attitude towards North Korea? The past two weeks have been a blur of outright savagery towards other nations, with cruise missiles raining down on Syrians and one giant bomb on an ISIS “cave complex” in Afghanistan. Now, the Donald has promised to send his “armada” towards the Sea of Japan, after it was found heading in the opposite direction a couple weeks ago. (full story)

Israeli Damascus Airstrike: Putin’s Missile Defence of Syria Exposed as Useless posted by jess, 2017-04-27 23:56:41
The mass media is again guiding the minds of the herded masses (by omission) regarding the Israeli airstrike on Damascus. Indeed, this is the second occasion, in a matter of weeks, that the much lauded, by compliant pro-Russian journos have been forced to eat their words -- all one need do is ask them what happened to these Russian made, extolled, air defences which should have prevented Israel’s recent strike -- though you won’t find a word about same in the mass OR alternative media?

 Turnbull and his Absurd, Flagrantly Racist, “Australian Values” posted by shaz, 2017-04-26 05:11:50
I recently read a piece in the local Guardian, titled, "The incredible shrinking Malcolm gets even smaller spouting 'Australian values' “ -- how true, Turnbull is USELESS, no secret, though most journos have missed the essential core element of Turnbull’s rants -- and that is unabashed Anglo racism.

 The US Presidency -- an International Joke posted by justin, 2017-04-24 22:02:25
Many would attribute Trump’s latest ‘miscalculation’ on the whereabouts of his aircraft carrier, Carl Vinson, to be one of his imbecilic statements of bravado/ignorance, matched only by the insane ramblings of the leader of North Korea. However, since buffoon in company ‘dubya’ Bush and backflipper extraordinaire, Nobel Peace Laureate Obama, who later announced that [drone] 'killing was his strong suit;' it becomes painfully evident to the global population that the world’s most powerful military nation has, and has had, buffoons/simpletons and LIARS at its helm for decades, which FACT has eroded the last vestiges of confidence that sane nations have in the USA -- a power shift, economic and military, is occurring as I write.

 We, The People, Are NOT the Enemy! posted by claire, 2017-04-23 22:07:28
Western populations have allowed various western states to implement PAN-surveillance, which means EVERYONE! The excuse for such was that it ‘keeps us safe,’ whereas studies/FACTS reveal that terrorist attacks are not impeded by pan-surveillance -- in other words pan-surveillance is NOT a preventative measure; however, it does offer itself to a multitude of uses particularly for the corporate community, which are able to source these databases to sell advertising more effectively. It also lends itself to the most intrusive form of personal privacy breaches, which values and liberties our forefathers fought world wars to preserve. (full story)
