  How Financial Parasites and Debt Bondage Destroy the Global Economy posted by Michael Hudson via gus, 2016-06-05 04:54:57
This interview with leading economist Michael Hudson is highly relevant to Australia as the current prime minister, Malcolm Turnbull, made most of his millions working for Goldman Sachs and later as a merchant banker. He made his money 'paper shuffling,' exploiting the system, tax havens and insider investments/legal rorts, in other words, not from PRODUCTION. Furthermore, he has no experience whatsoever in working or understanding the dynamics of a production based real economy, as his feeble, slogan saturated rhetorical discourse indicates. (full story)

Something not given enough focus and attention in the current federal election ‘fight’ between the two major Oz parties is the starkness and incredibly revealing way in which both parties have brazenly defined themselves, pause here, you may think this is obvious but it’s not, please read on.

 Woolworths Fined $9m for Cartel Price Fixing and Ripping Off Customers posted by Michael Janda via jess, 2016-06-03 10:50:00
Woolies caught yet again for ripping customers off, this time for cartel price fixing of laundry products. When will governments get serious with corporate fraud? $9 million is a drop in the ocean for these large corporate rogues. Malcolm Turnbull remains powerless to challenge his largest support base, the corporate and financial sectors -- after all, he is one of them! (full story)

It is clear that the treacherous SDA union has taken its lead selling out Oz workers directly from former union boss Bill Shorten, who has been cited time and again for selling out workers in other industries. (full story)

 Coles Forced to Compensate Workers for $70m/annum Rip Off posted by Ben Schneiders, Royce Millar and Nick Toscano via gail, 2016-05-31 11:55:09
Supermarket duopolist Coles has admitted it underpaid workers and 'agreed,' in view of industrial relations laws, to compensate all workers that have been ripped off. Both 'slave-driving' Coles and the treacherous SDA union, which should be de-registered for supporting Coles, not workers, in the appeal to the Fair Work Commission have learned that deception doesn't pay in the long run. Shame on you Coles and shame on you SDA and Wesfarmers for this treachery. (full story)

 America's Prospects Against The Russians And Chinese In World War III posted by Dr Paul Craig Roberts, 2016-05-28 20:09:59
The Saker reports that Russia is preparing for World War III, not because Russia intends to initiate aggression but because Russia is alarmed by the hubris and arrogance of the West, by the demonization of Russia, by provocative military actions by the West, by American interference in the Russian province of Chechnya and in former Russian provinces of Ukraine and Georgia, and by the absence of any restraint from Western Europe on Washington’s ability to foment war.

The Oz Farcical and Idiotic Tragic Elections posted by mitch, 2016-05-28 03:39:31
Richard Marles, opposition front bencher has called Barnaby Joyce an “absolute idiot” for linking the flow of boat people from Indonesia to the cessation of live cattle exports. Joyce claimed that Indonesia uses boat people politically, and guess what? He’s right, though not in the appropriate context. The (Asian) Indonesians are acutely aware that ‘the boats’ are a political raw nerve in Oz so they exploit it whenever they are peeved with any local policy – as history CLEARLY indicates.

Americans: The New Serfs A Conquered People posted by Dr Paul Craig Roberts via stan, 2016-05-23 23:05:29
As readers know, I have seen some optimism in voters support for Trump and Sanders as neither are members of the corrupt Republican and Democratic political establishments. Members of both political establishments enrich themselves by betraying the American people and serving only the interest of the One Percent. The American people are being driven into the ground purely for the sake of more mega-billions for a handful of super-rich people. (full story)

Why ALL Doctrines and Ideologies FAIL posted by sonny, 2016-05-23 11:27:59
Indeed, the proof is in your face. Religion is a failure. Capitalism and Socialism are failures, all doctrinaire, encoded superimpositions on human nature inevitably fail, WHY? Can you guess, because deliberative thought would lead you astray, understand? Doctrines and Ideologies are the fruits of thought and just look at the blood curdling ‘success’ rates of thought-out doctrines on how we should live and structure our lives/societies. (full story)

 Tinder posted by jess, 2016-05-23 02:22:29
Australia is a land of physical extremes, it is beset by raging bush fires, infernos, more accurately, and the cause, tinder, dry dead undergrowth, or fire fuel, which must be regularly burnt off to avoid raging infernos. A social analogy can be immediately drawn, the social equivalent is disillusionment with the political status quo, the population sees through the entire ruse today. The number of Aussies fed up with Oz mainstream politics is staggering. (full story)

American Propaganda: what REALITY Says posted by justin, 2016-05-22 00:28:23
NATO is increasing its military forces in preparation for an illusory aggression by Russia in Europe and the Baltic States -- Putin has refused to play ball as he shamelessly did with Bush, which allowed NATO/US to install ‘defensive’ missile systems along Russia’s European land borders, which affords the west a tactical proximity advantage.
