  The Business of War is the Cause of War posted by Ethan Indigo Smith & Sergey Baranov via shirl, 2015-08-18 01:22:21
If you objectively and consistently observe the mainstream media and its interpretation of global events, its omissive and deceptive character soon becomes abundantly clear. This could hardly be called incompetence. The coverage, which is popularly called “news,” is in fact nothing but a propaganda mechanism, designed to persistently shape public opinion in favor of war.

 A Dose of Reality about Runaway Climate Change posted by claire, 2015-08-18 00:17:28
Dire warnings were given by government scientific research bodies back in '73, that date refers to the Australian CSIRO, however, corporate lobby groups and bought lackey politicians all refuted the claims though they didn't have any scientific evidence to back their groundless refutations at the time, so polluting corporations enlisted the services of a number of compliant scientists to support the myth that pollution induced rapid climate change was nonsense. Well today we should all know better. (full story)

What an Utter Tragic Farce! posted by skip, 2015-08-17 10:38:23
The title could refer to many things today, and I’m sure readers are not in short supply of situations where they could attribute the numerous farces and absurdities we all endure – but that’s the point, why on earth do THE MASSES, the greatest social force on earth, endure criminal rule, no functioning democracies, intrusive surveillance, illegal ‘laws’ such as torture, indefinite detention without trial, rendition, executive secret kill lists, police murdering unarmed innocent civilians with impunity, etc, etc, etc – get it? We are to blame all of us, for tolerating these horrendous injustices and allowing a pack of psychopathic criminals to determine our collective fate when these KNOWN criminals should be and would be in jail if the masses asserted their inalienable rights and moral prerogatives.

Chelsea (Bradley) Manning Victimised Yet Again for Speaking Out posted by mitch, 2015-08-17 02:20:24
There is one person on this earth, which is now overflowing with cowards, wimps and slaves that has earned my utmost respect and that person is androgynous Chelsea Manning. Manning has already suffered and survived the most horrendous psychological abuse while enduring illegally prolonged solitary confinement, and a ‘suicide watch,’ which allows prison guards to wake the unfortunate victim every fifteen minutes and ask if they are ok! Give me a break on this obvious form of TORTURE, notwithstanding that Manning’s cell was constantly illuminated with bright artificial light 24 hours a day while in restricted solitary confinement.

US President Barack Obama has given an extraordinary ultimatum to the Republican-controlled Congress, arguing that they must not block the nuclear accord with Iran. It’s either “deal or war,” he says. (full story)

Grass roots politician, Jeremy Corbyn, is tipped to win the leadership of the UK Labour Party, his secret, shock horror, is that he champions the wishes of the masses -- that sounds like DEMOCRACY in action to me! (full story)

 The Yuan Devaluation and the so-called ‘currency war’ posted by jake, 2015-08-15 01:21:38
China maintains its sovereignty by owning its own currency; that means it has not surrendered its currency/sovereignty to Wall Street bankers and the Global Reserve Banking cartel with headquarters in New York. One need only look at who heads those banks to realise it’s a Jewish monetary game designed to enslave the entire world, however, China will have none of it, it plays according to its own best interests not those of a criminal, largely Jewish, western banking elite that is now chronically addicted to printing money from thin air – known as quantitative easing (QE). It should be noted that QE has become a permanent feature of the fake toilet paper economy today, and as every economist is aware ‘paper shuffling’ as opposed to real production, which is China’s strength, inevitably leads to economic implosion and ruin. This fate awaits America the Eurozone, Japan and numerous other nations that subscribe to the Jewish banker scam. (full story)

Oz: It’s Official, Wages Stagnant as Cost of Living Leapfrogs posted by baz, 2015-08-14 02:53:46
This is the result of Tony Abbott favouring corporations (increased prices/costs) and constantly assailing unions and average Aussie workers (stagnant wages); his latest outrageous attack is to remove penalty rates for Sunday workers who depend on these rates to make a living wage. This outcome is the stark Abbott reality, not the pre-election LIES of growth, increased jobs and improved living standards and opportunity for all Aussies. This is what happens when Aussies allow themselves to be duped by Murdoch propaganda and his puppet PM appointee. (full story)

 Attacks on the Free Press by Abbott is policy in America posted by darcy, 2015-08-13 09:00:40
It is well known that Oz PM, Tony Abbott, is incapable of a sensible original thought or vision, he is an obedient servant of the elite and an attack dog, that’s all he knows as two years of argumentative nothing government clearly indicates. (full story)

The Two Major Party Charade and Why it Continues posted by stella, 2015-08-13 04:18:49
America has entered its carnival election cycle and you guessed it, the corporate mass media is concentrating on the two corporate OWNED major parties as usual. I would add that the nose-ringed American alternative media is also SUBJECT to the orchestrated ruse as its content also refers primarily to the race between Republican and Democrat contenders. So what happened to our experience and knowledge, which has taught us that this absurd ‘race’ is an orchestrated CHARADE and that the winner has already been chosen by the ruling oligarchy/plutocracy? I guess it got lost in the 24 hour news/propaganda cycle of the mass media’s making. We can’t have public memory, experience and knowledge interfering with our game and tight grip on the nation, one could almost hear CFR members and media moguls murmur. Indeed, they can’t, and so a constant stream of the two party ‘race’ is already reaching saturation level. (full story)

 ISIL hack proves Oz police are a pack of INCOMPETENT dummies posted by Nino Bucci via jason, 2015-08-12 10:55:32
Aussies know too well that every time Tony Abbott opens his lying mouth it’s to evade, lie, cheat and DISTRACT the public from focusing on his government’s appalling leadership and lack of vision. The Abbott government makes hopeless Rudd and Gillard look like political geniuses, both former leaders at least have successful reforms and policies to their credit – what is Abbott’s record after two years at the helm? More LIES, attacking vulnerable and average Aussies while allowing tax evading multi-nationals and large corporations a free run. (full story)

Mining Giant Credits Activists with Possibly Saving Great Barrier Reef posted by Lauren McCauley via jaxie, 2015-08-12 00:32:08
Fierce environmental activism is being blamed—and credited—with spurring the potential demise of Australia's controversial Carmichael coal mine project. Indian mining giant Adani on Tuesday lashed out at activists, accusing them of causing delays that prompted financial backers to withdraw their support for the vast Queensland mine and port expansion along the Great Barrier Reef (GBR).

Reality, Meaning and Religion posted by jared, 2015-08-11 23:48:55
I had occasion for great mirth when I encountered possibly the most tragic, desperate and sorrowful piece I had ever read on the American condition. What made it more tragic was the fact that it was written by seemingly educated thinking people, yet it was painfully apparent they were all SLAVES to the dominant cultural prescription. Not one exhibited a personal connection to the living, infinite cosmos of which we are all a living part. (full story)
