  The Man from Dry River posted by swag, 2016-04-18 20:46:59
There was panic at the Liberal station, the word had passed around, that Malcolm Turnbull couldn’t lead a gaggle of geese, least of all AUSTRALIA. (full story)

 Saudi Arabia Blackmails USA to NOT pass 9/11 bill into Law posted by Mark Mazzetti via jaxie, 2016-04-16 01:02:44
The bill ostensibly refers to the redacted "28 pages" of the government 9/11 report, which Congressmen say implicates Saudi Arabia in the 9/11 attacks -- neocons and Israeli's Mossad are squirming.
If indeed Obama decides to side with the Jihadist/terrorist supporting Saudis on this issue, it will prove to the world that the White House, as most commentators are already aware, is nothing more than a puppet house, controlled by the global economic elite. If you're looking for democracy -- representative majority rule -- or JUSTICE, you certainly won't find it in the USA! (full story)

 Petro Dollar Teeters -- House of Saud (and Washington) Ready to Implode posted by Pepe Escobar via drake, 2016-04-15 22:41:09
Better late than never, Pepe; a semiotic analysis reveals as much and more. Nonetheless, thank you for doing a journalistic presentation -- well done. (full story)

 Goldman Sachs Mega-Bank Gets Away with $5 Billion 'Non-Punishment' posted by Deirdre Fulton via gus, 2016-04-12 23:36:42
Banking crimes are not specific to one nation they are global and one of the main criminal players is Goldman Sachs. It has managed via its political puppets and mass media allies to reduce criminal charges to a slap on the financial wrist when this bank was at the heart of the 2008 global economic collapse. Today Goldman Sachs has managed not only to avoid punitive measures, as in jail sentences, but has managed to install its former employees as heads of state in many Western nations, including AUSTRALIA -- Malcolm Turnbull is a former employee of Goldman Sachs. So if anyone in Oz is wondering why the Turnbull puppet government is avoiding a Royal Commission into the criminal, parasitic big banks, then wonder no more! (full story)

When it's Personal posted by rade, 2016-04-11 09:42:48
When or if you find yourself in custody for nothing or for making a joke about hopeless, corrupt puppet governments and sadist police or military interrogators begin their ‘enhanced interrogation’ techniques on YOU, you will soon learn what torture is and though you are unable to move, as you would have been restrained, do not imagine that you don’t move, something changes inside you; you begin to rage over the injustice and the needless cruelty. And if you are fortunate enough to be released back into a society of people that do not want to know, your rage increases and almost everyone is to blame, directly or indirectly, APATHY is the reason the world and civilisation have been lost to avaricious psychopaths and criminals in white collars and ties -- yes, YOU, and your stinking selfishness and cowardice are to blame!

'Free Trade' Deals, Understand what they Really Are -- Corporate RULE over Elected Governments posted by Paul Craig Roberts via jaxie, 2016-04-10 01:57:52
The panama papers, whatever their original intent, clearly paint a sordid picture of the law-subverting, tax avoiding elite corporatist ruling plutocracy. Who do you imagine engineered tax havens, which are almost exclusively exploited by very wealthy entities? Who is behind corrupt western governments deregulating the banking and financial sectors, which allows banks and corporations to engage in activities which were once CRIMES? And who do you imagine owns every single 'democratic' government on the planet? Answer to all the above, the mega-wealthy corporate-banker elites. And now they have the public beguiled with so-called "free trade deals." Do not be deceived, surely now after the panama papers, it is time to withdraw support from corrupt major political parties, jettison puppet governments and RE-regulate the PARASITIC, exploitative, corporate-banker elites.

 Hillary, the Bilderberg-CFR Errand Girl that has been PROMISED the Presidency posted by drake, 2016-04-08 09:48:31
The charade that is the presidential elections in the USA is as transparent as it could be, almost the entire non-American world is aware that the presidential race is a contrived/orchestrated media charade run primarily so rustic Americans continue to believe they live in a democracy not the oligarchy/plutocracy that the USA has been from almost day one of the founding of the elitist Masonic Republic.

 Bill Shorten’s Farcical Royal Commission Threat into the Banking/Financial Sector posted by cyd, 2016-04-07 22:10:37
It’s a well-played political strategy no doubt, as the population is fed up with the parasitic banks and their outrageous fees for everything and general cartel approach. BUT Shorten failed to outline the parameters or terms of reference of this proposed RC, which is the critical issue. I suspect, based on Labor’s track record, a political, ‘Clayton’s’ Royal Commission. Why? (full story)

The Panama Papers - dance to the tailored Leak posted by Pepe Escobar via jade, 2016-04-06 00:40:27
Many seasoned analysts and commentators are suspicious of this unprecedented "trove" of information involving corporate/banker political and criminal elites -- not that there's much distinction between these groups. However, the suspect view cast on these papers, particularly as they seem to focus on enemies of the ruling criminal global elite is justified. Indeed, in initial press releases not one American or German was mentioned and very little in the way of compromising information for leaders of NATO nations -- I mean really, what about Turkey's Erdogan and family??

 'The Panama Papers' -- how corporate and political elites hide their money posted by Deirdre Fulton via jane, 2016-04-03 22:52:22
Every government should have a corporate/banker and political elite watchdog with full investigative powers and authority to arrest and prosecute.
Commendations and many thanks to the whistleblower, you have done humanity a GREAT service exposing the filthy criminal elites -- 'onya, mate!
The Australian Senate now has an exceedingly strong case to reject Turnbull's DD trigger and force the inclusion of a corporate watchdog with exactly the same powers as the ABCC -- screw Turnbull and his favourable bias toward his fellow 'criminal' elites. (full story)

FBI Illegally Hacks into Apple iPhones posted by lynkz, 2016-04-02 21:12:53
In recent weeks various tech and mainstream news sites have run stories about the FBI’s successful hacking of an Apple iPhone, which high tech company Apple prides itself on security and privacy. So much for security and privacy! However, that is not the essential point here; Apple is a huge IT corporation and hacking is illegal regardless of who the offender is, I cite the numerous hackers now serving time, many of whom were arrested by the FBI and prosecuted for contravening hacker laws. So, as Richard Nixon once erroneously and infamously stated, ‘when the president does it (break the law), it’s not illegal.’ Well, one need only review history to assess how very wrong Nixon was.

 Turnbull: What’s ‘Exciting’ about a Useless, Spineless PM? posted by darcy, 2016-04-01 20:08:01
Australia’s conservative government has PROVEN itself to be one of the most dysfunctional governments in Australia’s political history. The sitting government’s tenure has been marked by an appalling series of calamities, first inflicted on the public by corporate puppet and supreme dunce, Tony Abbott, who was leading his party to ruin at speed. Then with much fanfare and media affection, a do-nothing Rudd type narcissist took the helm with promises of “innovative, agile, exciting,” leadership. Well, I need hardly mention the inability of the Turnbull government to make ANY coherent decision or offer any acceptable policy to the people. In fact, the Turnbull government is hopeless, however, the people must assess the Liberal Party from the time it gained office to today, and what an abysmal performance record it has. (full story)
