 “Owned” posted by karloz, 2016-11-07 19:44:12
The hacker term “owned” is taken to mean that a ‘system’ has been completely compromised, hijacked and that total control of that system is now in the hands of the hacker/intruder without the knowledge of the original owner. Elite hackers do not make their presence known, they remain invisible and utilise the captured system in various ways. (full story)

Three coal miners coming off shift at the Mountain Laurel mine in West Virginia sat at a long office bench doing time sheets, their faces and hands smeared black from their work. (full story)

A Distinct Possibility -- Digital 'false flag' attack if Trump overturns Rigged Election posted by Finian Cunningham via claire, 2016-11-06 22:02:34
One thing in particular (among many others) the WORLD has learned about the farce/circus of the current US presidential election, is that anything is possible, as recent sordid history PROVES. The desperation of the ruling elite over loss of control is now obvious to all. It's filthy unrepresentative, interfering hand to install Hillary is now unmistakable. The following article by Mr Cunningham should not be dismissed out of hand though chances are unlikely, but that's what everyone has said about the election to date. It is clear that the elite would go to any length to install their puppet and obedient servant Hillary. Trump was clearly underestimated as a useful idiotic/fall guy, he has outsmarted the elites -- which is not difficult -- and become a REAL threat. So make what you will of Mr Cunningham's assessments in view of current, outrageous, obvious, 'deep state' interference/events. (full story)

 The Integrity Devoid FBI Flips and Backflips on Hillary Yet AGAIN! posted by Paul McGeough via cyd, 2016-11-06 19:58:32
Whatever conclusion people in the US and around the world arrive at over this clearly forced decision by FBI director Comey, it does not augur well for the USA, which is demonstrating to the entire WORLD that it's coming apart at the seams. The evidence against Hillary is overwhelming and she should have been indicted many times over for her brazen past crimes. However, she is the elite's choice so the REAL powers that control the USA and most of the western world, have intervened and exposed themselves -- yes, it is now CLEAR to ALL that the USA is a non-representative FAKE democracy that is 'governed' by a self-interested and self-serving mega-wealthy MINORITY, which has demonstrated its supreme reign over once respected government institutions/apparatuses, including the FBI, which institution will never recover from this appalling acquiescence to the ruling criminal elite.

Reaction to U.S. Election posted by Zee, 2016-11-05 23:04:56
Not only the USA but the entire WORLD is being treated to the most farcical, TRANSPARENT, U.S. presidential election in America’s history. We have a CLEARLY (staged) ‘race’ between a Washington, corporate/elite-serving criminal INSIDER and a narcissistic, demagogue that has been buoyed by the mass media (since day one) to run and lose against Hillary, formerly the chosen one.

 There's No Use Pretending ... posted by Chris Floyd via jake, 2016-11-04 23:34:57
There’s no use pretending that the wheels of the status quo train will click on its track when the new president is installed into office. There's no use pretending there is any 'hope' whatsoever, a word thoroughly denuded of meaning by Obama and his Democrats, and there’s no use in pretending that the situation we face today will improve, it will be the same trajectory only worse outcomes, as we have failed to arrest its diabolical progress. What we face a few days before this rigged election is NOT some terribly unlucky conflation of unforeseen circumstances coming together at this particular time. (full story)

Here we are AGAIN as Miserable as can Be posted by sybil, 2016-11-04 12:07:11
Have YOU begun to wonder how we arrived at this point in modern history when we had everything going for us? In the USA there is a farcical race for the presidency between two of the most loathsome candidates of all time. So take your pick of the lesser evil, which is now routine for all western ‘democracies.’ Is the game rigged, well of course it is, even media-lobotomised Americans can see. I could go on in endless descriptive examples of a ruined humanity. Have you pre-empted the answer yet? It’s OBVIOUS. The entire world is as it is simply because WE, all humanity, allowed it to be so. (full story)

 The Unravelling of the American Oligarchy posted by jess, 2016-11-01 22:15:08
The race for the U.S. presidency by two social ‘bottom-feeders,’ Clinton and Trump, is mass media depicted in vassal Australia as the “most unpredictable” election race in U.S. history -- this type of presentation is a media device well known in mass communication studies. Shift focus away from the central point of any explosive event, which in this case is sordid high level criminality and depict it as “unpredictable,” a very soft, misleading term intended to distract and shift focus away from the UGLY truth/REALITY. Now consider all the sordid details involved in this orchestrated (by the Oligarchy) “race” for the office of chief puppet/SERVANT of the ruling elite or ‘shadow government,’ as it is popularly known.

 The Real Reasons Why FBI Reopened the Hillary Email Investigation posted by Joachim Hagopian via james, 2016-11-01 00:29:18
This last Friday it became public record that FBI Director James Comey reopened the Hillary Clinton email server investigation after repeatedly testifying before Congress and the world up to last July that he’d closed the case, after in his words not finding sufficient evidence of “any criminal wrongdoing" to indict her in spite of her four years as Secretary of State egregiously breaching our national security by: (full story)

 American Irrationalism -- A Culture in Rapid Decline posted by Chris Hedges via shirl, 2016-10-31 20:12:51
Chris Hedges, known for his defeatist and melancholic writing, accurately portrays American culture AS IT IS TODAY. The following piece is a 'downer' for Americans and to a lesser extent nations that have allowed themselves to be led by this ruinous and supremely destructive culture -- nihilistic is too mild a term for American culture, it is downright suicidal, an outcome that has historically plagued all dominant imperial cultures; however, today the decaying process is rapid, what used to take hundreds of years now takes decades. If Americans do not intervene in a very short space of time the nation faces total ruin and perhaps complete annihilation -- be advised American dreamboats! (full story)

 The Coming War on China posted by John Pilger via darcy, 2016-10-29 21:50:01
Expatriate Australian John Pilger discusses his new film with interviewer TJ Coles. And although Pilger speaks casually and plainly about highly critical issues confronting the world today, we should not be lulled into a false sense of laxity by his tone. The issues he speaks of affect the entire world especially Australia which has foolishly allowed itself to become a platform for likely attacks on China by the war mongering, criminal (proven) USA. It is truly lamentable that Australia would rather become a primary nuclear target than declare its independence as a peaceful sovereign nation. Australia, and any other allied un-corrupted nation needs America like it needs a hole in the head. Australia is well placed to become the leading non-aligned negotiating and mediating nation in the world today; however, the necessary requirement is real statesmen and women leading the nation and the world to a better outcome instead of mindless aggression and WAR!

Moscow Calls Washington's Bluff posted by Pepe Escobar via james, 2016-10-28 00:40:24
Mr Escobar omits to emphasise one critical point; his reference to "Dr Strangelove," aka Pentagon, neocon and CIA extremists, are LUNATICS and actually believe that a nuclear confrontation with Russia and China is winnable. Surely the past actions of the US indicate clearly the lunacy of those in ACTUAL control of the USA, notwithstanding the nation has been functioning on bluster and gross crimes for the past two decades. However, sooner rather than later, these desperate American extremists begin to believe their own fabrications, propaganda and outrageous lies. We shall see after Nov. 8 whether the US is able to apprehend reality, to which it has demonstrated extreme aversion in the recent past. (full story)

The Original Aim of the TPP and its Inevitable Failure posted by Prof. James Petras via shirl, 2016-10-27 01:37:22
This following piece by Prof. Petras is perhaps the most elucidating on the subject of the TPP and Washington's 'pivot to Asia' (failing) plan. It is concise, accurate and informative. A must read for any nation that has been duped into surrendering its sovereignty to the TPP's corporate/political interests. An excellent piece of work. Are you reading this, spineless Australian political lackeys? (full story)

 Australia has learned nothing since Gallipoli Massacre -- Foreign command and another Syrian Fiasco posted by Mike Whitney via mitch, 2016-10-26 22:08:07
History records that Australian fighting forces under foreign imperial command were often NEEDLESSLY sent to their slaughter and treated as expendable -- those peasant, slave, colonialists! Well, General Blamey changed the status quo on foreign command and attempted to ensure that Oz forces would never again fall victim to such treachery and/or incompetence. Australian troops must be commanded in the field by Australians, it's as simple as that, as too many times since Gallipoli Australians have paid the price for foreign treachery and incompetent command. Yet TODAY we have learned that the current, apron-string,Turnbull government has been blindly led by American forces to commit another war crime in Syria. One which could land Australia in very serious trouble in international courts. (full story)
