 The Global Suicide Ritual posted by Arlan Ebel via jane, 2016-03-12 17:30:36
In our time, the issue that subsumes all others is the issue of the survival of the human species. The primary threats to this survival are climate change and global nuclear war. Of course the interiors of these primary threats are swarming with countless contributing secondary issues. (full story)

 Hillary: The Bilderberg, CFR, Poison Pill posted by Paul Edwards via jaxie, 2016-03-11 21:33:05
The Republican supernova hissyfit over Trump with the faux-Latino twits snapping at his pantlegs has so owned the media that the Gorgon trying to herd Democrats to their own implosion has escaped serious scrutiny. (full story)

Democracy, you won't find it in the USA posted by Patrick Buchanan via shirl, 2016-03-11 21:24:13
Over the long weekend before the Mississippi and Michigan primaries, the sky above Sea Island was black with corporate jets. Apple’s Tim Cook, Google’s Larry Page and Eric Schmidt, Napster’s Sean Parker, Tesla Motors’ Elon Musk, and other members of the super-rich were jetting in to the exclusive Georgia resort, ostensibly to participate in the annual World Forum of the American Enterprise Institute.

 B1 long range Nuclear Bombers in Oz – Isn’t that just Dandy? posted by des, 2016-03-09 19:12:52
The first thing to consider is that this astonishing compliance clearly changes the status of Australia from a peaceful, relatively neutral nation into a PRIMARY NUCLEAR TARGET. And considering that modern ICBMs contain up to 14 nuclear warheads, it’s goodbye ALL capital cities while leaving our precious resources free for the taking after the American made holocaust.

Get with it People, Agri-Corporations are Killing You posted by Kashmira Gander via jill, 2016-03-08 06:07:57
Today's atrocious diets are largely the result of marketing and advertising but they fail to tell the whole story. Modern diets kill to put it succinctly. All one need do is walk down the aisle of any modern supermarket to see myriad processed products which we are encouraged to consume, notwithstanding the further we depart from natural foods the greater cost to our overall health and well being. The following story highlights only one over-consumed product, meat. (full story)

 Winning the War on Drugs posted by justin, 2016-03-07 08:39:13
Simple, as the only drug war America has won was on prohibited alcohol – and how dear reader did the State win that war, by legalising alcohol consumption and taxing alcohol producers? (full story)

Passive Inaction and Doomed Workers posted by gary, 2016-03-05 09:20:38
I marvel sometimes at the passive acceptance of people that are dumped from their corporate jobs. Corporate executives seem to think it is they that build successful companies. Nothing could be further from the truth, CEOs and execs are a dime a dozen and those that secure a position imagine it is they alone that are responsible for company profits and successes when in fact it is each and every individual worker regardless of position that has built the company and ensures its success; yet when execs make wrong decisions it is the workforce that pays by being made ‘redundant,’ or to put in blunt terms, sacked, terminated -- good luck with feeding your family and paying your mortgage.

Western Governments: Banker/Corporate Servants posted by justin, 2016-03-04 20:24:15
Well, it seems the people have woken, at least to some realities, specifically that their so-called representatives lie through their teeth in order to gain office then immediately renege on promises and serve the unrepresentative, minority corporate and financial sectors, which fact annihilates any notion of democracy.

War, what is it good for? Profit of course! posted by jude, 2016-03-02 20:26:31
Wars are good for business if you’re a member of the wealthy global elite behind all the wars that have been waged over the past centuries. Do not kid yourself, especially with superficial concerns and other pertinent distractions, go to the heart of the problem. Wars would and could not be conducted unless someone stands to gain enormously and that someone is NEVER YOU, as you are either cannon fodder or collateral damage. But do the profiteers care? Take a good look at the record of recent US/NATO wars for an answer. Tens of millions of innocent people have been displaced, their homes and cities ruined, millions more have been slaughtered/murdered and few were active participants in these orchestrated wars based on lies. However, major corporations and their banker backers raked it in to the tune of $trillions. (full story)

You Dumb Yankee Fucks! posted by baz, 2016-03-02 03:44:50
Oo! So its a “show down” between Hillary and Trump, according to the mass media, well, is it? The new president has already been selected by the shadow government of the West, note I did not confine that to the USA. All western so-called democracies are in the firm grip of the global elite, and you can safely bet that they would never allow anyone they do not have in their pocket to assume the presidency of the world’s most powerful nation. Or haven’t you noticed how Obama is simply Bush on steroids -- pursing the exact same agenda as Bush and the last few presidents before him. It was Bill ‘Balkan’ Clinton that began the big sell-out of the people and embarked on the elite (insane) strategy/agenda of American hegemony, laughingly also called "Full Spectrum Dominance" and "Pax Americana," and the elite never take the drugs they sell YOU, though they are as criminally insane as could be.

 Real Costs of the TPP: Nearly Half a Million Jobs Lost posted by Jomo Kwame Sundaram via gail, 2016-03-02 02:01:09
The Trans-Pacifc Partnership (TPP) Agreement, recently agreed to by twelve Pacifc Rim countries led by the United States,1 promises to ease many restrictions on cross-border transactions and harmonize regulations. Proponents of the agreement have claimed significant economic benefits, citing modest overall net GDP gains, ranging from half of one percent in the United States to 13 percent in Vietnam after fifteen years. Their claims, however, rely on many unjustified assumptions, including full employment in every country and no resulting impacts on working people’s incomes, with more than 90 percent of overall growth gains due to ‘non-trade measures’ with varying impacts.

 Oz Gov Unable to Assist the People but Easily able to Serve elite Plutocrats posted by justin, 2016-02-29 22:59:05
Well, there you have it, Rupert Murdoch couldn’t be happier, he failed to dismantle the Oz ABC, his largest competitor, via Abbott, but succeeded in eradicating fair media ownership laws. The two out of three rule is gone, the Oz media is now less competitive than its ever been so prepare for the one Orwellian voice, similar to the US media/propaganda apparatus. This is the end of choice and any semblance to a dissenting voice or real reporting as the news will now be more packaged than it’s ever been -- of course dictating ‘reality’ to the mindless masses and spineless Oz journalists, which overwhelmingly do not support such laws, as it’s either report ‘this’ or find another job, the truth has no place in the privately owned corporate mass media.
