  Rudd vs Turnbull -- clash of the pathological Narcissists posted by jess, 2016-08-04 19:30:04
We all know what Rudd is capable of, he excels if offended in subversion, and Turnbull would be very lucky indeed if Rudd restrained his wrath over Turnbull refusing to allow Rudd to compete for UN leadership -- notwithstanding Rudd has no chance and therein lies Turnbull’s huge folly. (full story)

 Hanson's One Nation party, now force in Senate -- Political Dunce Malcolm Turnbull does it YET AGAIN posted by jaxie, 2016-08-04 01:56:49
Turnbull could have called a standard election any time he chose after becoming leader of his party -- he should have capitalised on his unfounded media popularity when he had it. However, Turnbull imagined he was unbeatable, as he believed the baseless media hype himself, silly fool! So he called a Double Dissolution election in order to clean out the Senate of what he thought were obstructionists. Well, now, far-right bigots have gained four Senate seats; though they do not possess the balance of power, the Greens maintain that position, it is a disastrous outcome. Four Senate seats are now held by myopic, parochial, avowed racists and political dunces, which creates a Senate more difficult than before Turnbull's ‘genius’ DD election. Sure, he will claim it was a ‘cabinet decision,’ hoping to evade responsibility and duck for cover, however, Turnbull is 'leader' and takes FULL responsibility for the fiasco the nation and sane parliamentarians NOW face.

 Oz Census: Turnbull’s Deluded ‘Absolutes’ posted by darcy, 2016-08-03 22:59:58
It is clear that narcissist Oz PM Malcolm Turnbull is a political dunce. Politicians learn very early in their careers NEVER to make absolute statements, as it is these that cause the most grief for any politician -- as these statements always prove incorrect. (full story)

Stop Griping and Engage posted by stella, 2016-08-03 01:04:49
The world is in the throes of total denial and avoidance, excuse-making today has become a plague. However, the FACT remains, in DEMOCRATIC societies the MAJORITY should rule, so why is that not the case? Simple, WE acquiesce rather than ACT! I’ve heard all the lame excuses, “it’s no use so why bother,” distills most of them, why bother, indeed? (full story)

Russia and China “.. to jointly deal with maritime security threats” in South China Sea posted by mitch, 2016-07-31 00:14:07
It has already been postulated that the South China Sea may be the most likely flash point for WWIII. The stakes are high as outlined in that article and idiotic, obsequious Australia will learn that kowtowing to America is NOT WORTH becoming a PRIMARY NUCLEAR TARGET -- neutrality is without doubt the only option for Australia but tell that to our clearly SPINELESS, knee-walking politicians.

 “... If the blind lead the blind, both will fall into a pit." posted by jas, 2016-07-30 01:32:03
You better believe it, these words are as relevant today as they were two thousand years ago, and I am no believer in fictitious ‘Gods or Saviours’ as I know that humans only are able to save themselves as a species; nevertheless, most fictitious theological narratives contain nuggets of pure TRUTH.

Hillary: Untrustworthy and Dangerous little puppet of the nefarious global Elite posted by val, 2016-07-29 03:19:21
I have just witnessed H. Clinton attempting to come across to the American people as just your average family woman, she also stated that Trump can’t be trusted with nuclear weapons if he gains office, well, true but Clinton is far less trustworthy than Trump in that regard. (full story)

 The Allegory of a Lion raised as a Sheep posted by jas, 2016-07-29 00:54:24
When I was a child, I watched a Disney cartoon about a Lion that was raised as a sheep, it made an impression on me, though I was too young to appreciate its implications, i.e. to unravel the now obvious allegory. Indeed, fairy tales have hidden meanings as many writers have explained and what better way to reach/teach the population than by disguising the message in a fairy tale. Certain interests that censor information and manage society are usually indifferent to this genre. (full story)

 The Real Situation in the South China Sea posted by Pepe Escobar via shirl, 2016-07-27 23:50:22
The South China Sea is and will continue to be the ultimate geopolitical flashpoint of the young 21st century – way ahead of the Middle East or Russia’s western borderlands. No less than the future of Asia – as well as the East-West balance of power – is at stake. (full story)

 The Naked Face of Australian Racism Exposed to the World posted by claire, 2016-07-27 01:15:07
It’s about time racist Australia became known to the world. A recent ABC Four Corners program has exposed conservative and far right Australians as the most foul bunch of bigotted, torturing, mindless racists the world has recently seen in peacetime. Australia now shares equal status with the infamous deep South of the USA, where ignorance, racism and brutality are a religion. (full story)

 Blind Americans can’t see past their collective IQ -- two criminals are vying for the Presidency posted by sue, 2016-07-26 23:01:14
It’s out there plain as day, couldn’t be clearer, both Trump and H. Clinton are criminals though their crimes differ. Trump is infamous for his corrupt and illegal building escapades, employing illegal cheap labour and bankrupting his companies in order to evade legitimate debts, he’s a big time cheat and criminal, however, he alluded jail by paying off politicians, he even bragged about it recently, the Clintons once beckoned to his call because he had donated millions to the family in the past, such is the corrupting power of ill-gotten money and the impunity it provides in the criminally run USA.

 What Saves us is REALITY not Belief posted by jess, 2016-07-26 02:35:21
Not one belief system or ideology has saved humanity to date, in fact they have ruined most societies especially if those belief systems were not attuned to the greater harmony of nature or existence as it is. All ideologies are the productions of self-interested men seeking power, whether religious, political or otherwise -- be aware. (full story)

 30 Seconds To Midnight - You better Believe it! posted by Dr Paul Craig Roberts via val, 2016-07-25 22:31:16
Former US Secretary of Defense William Perry warns that the world is on the knife edge of nuclear catastrophe. Such catastrophe can result accidentally from electronic failures or glitches in warning systems and from the recklessly aggressive and unnecessary force buildup against Russia. Conn Hallinan discusses these issues. (full story)

The Profound Darkness of Ignorance posted by justin, 2016-07-25 00:20:24
Indeed, as has been said, ‘in darkness man lives, and how profound is that darkness?’ Today few could dispute the stupor, bordering on trance, in which the world’s population exists. Leading nations, while professing they are honourable, law-abiding and just, murder millions in the most heinous fashion. Humans are viewed as expendable by these forces, plain to see. Yet the world tolerates obvious criminality, injustice and the flouting of law by these groups that profess they are honourable -- ridiculous, but how many see the TRAGIC absurdity of the world as it is today?
