Ample Evidence of the Fact posted by jess, 2016-02-29 21:43:55
I mean c’mmon! Since the US/NATO Balkan intervention in the 90’s and the fragmentation of a former sovereign state into powerless, exploitable, subservient statelets, based on ORCHESTRATED (proven) humanitarian crises, the same criminal force has since intervened in numerous other sovereign nations using the same now obvious, tired strategy of exploiting sectarian divisions, destabilising and then taking military control. Who today is unable to see the obvious? Lies, lies, lies, mayhem and mass murder for the profit of the few, are we happy allowing these criminal forces to continue murdering and destroying with impunity when reams of documented information and media coverage have exposed ALL the LIES and CRIMES? Criminals must pay for their crimes, or haven’t you heard of civilised law and morality? (full story)

The National Insecurity State posted by Henry A. Giroux via jess, 2016-02-26 23:45:00
I think it is fair to say, following Hannah Arendt's Eichmann in Jerusalem, that each country ravaged by neoliberalism and its attack on the social state will develop its own form of authoritarianism rooted in the historical, pedagogical, and cultural traditions that enable it to reproduce itself. In the United States, a "soft war" is being waged on the cultural front aided by the new electronic technologies of consumerism and surveillance. (full story)

The Displacement of Peace Discourse by a Warmongering Media posted by jude, 2016-02-26 21:17:02
It is no secret that the primary social discourse determines social character and behaviour. And so what have we all been witness to over the past 15 years? Yes, indeed, the eradication of all discourse on Peace. Both mainstream and alternative media have been harnessed or nose-ringed, almost all media discourse relates to war and its consequences, refugees, widespread destruction etc, with the usual titillating distractive content. The result of course is current world reality, permanent escalating wars, no surprise. (full story)

Hillary 'elite-serving bitch' Clinton The Fuse of WWIII -- get it straight! posted by des, 2016-02-25 04:56:24
Make no mistake, the US/NATO criminal alliance is hell bent on removing Assad and redrawing the maps of the Middle East. Retired general Wesley Clark spelled it out, Syria and then Iran, and nothing will deter the US from attempting to achieve its nefarious ambition, so all the, ‘this way and that’ bulldust of commentators, propagandists and others amounts to hot air. The US has an agenda it will never depart from and the world has only two choices to allow the criminal forces that constitute the shadow government to succeed or to oppose them and place them on trial for their many recorded crimes against humanity, you see, it’s all about profit, slavery and appropriating diminishing resources.

Russia Donates 10,000 AK-47 with ammunition to Afghanistan posted by Mirwais Harooni via shirl, 2016-02-24 10:37:10
The AK-47 is the preferred weapon in the entire region. No doubt the gift from Russia will be well received, as Russia demonstrates it is more interested in States maintaining sovereignty and independence rather than the US vassal or military occupation approach which is universally resented. Let's hope the weapons are put to 'good use' by the Afghans which have no need for troops from any foreign nation. (full story)

Digital Insularity, Social Disconnect and Self-absorption Equals Social Slavery posted by james, 2016-02-23 22:57:38
Whether or not Einstein actually said the following is not important as it is as accurate as could be! It's not the fault of the technology, it is how it's used. The CIA was behind the development of Facebook (tracebook), Google is a CIA partner, until recently Apple had a secret keystroke logger in all its iPhones, Microsoft was exposed decades past for supplying a backdoor in its OS to government agencies. So you see, it was no accident but a concerted plan by Big Brother to enslave, monitor and direct the attention of the masses. (full story)

Malcolm Turnbull, hopeless! Turnbull takes ‘do-nothing, photo-op’ Trophy from Rudd posted by darcy, 2016-02-22 21:45:12

The Right to Privacy is Sacrosanct unless you live in a Big Brother State -- Welcome to America posted by Michael Riley & Jordan Robertson via james, 2016-02-22 06:03:59
Silicon Valley celebrated last fall when the White House revealed it would not seek legislation forcing technology makers to install “backdoors” in their software -- secret listening posts where investigators could pierce the veil of secrecy on users’ encrypted data, from text messages to video chats. But while the companies may have thought that was the final word, in fact the government was working on a Plan B. (full story)
