 The New Enemy – a clear and present danger to Freedom and Democracy posted by justin, 2015-07-29 04:15:39
Greece has been defeated, vanquished and devastated, not by military force or invasion but by banks, yes, unregulated, parasitic, financially powerful banks! Not even the Nazi invasion of Greece during WWII was as destructive to the Greek nation as the western banking system has been today – FACT! Now think about that for a minute. A once sovereign, democratic free nation has lost its sovereignty, national assets, its right to self-determination and the right to tolerable living conditions for its working and retired population.

  Varoufakis’ Scramble to Save Face – A ‘Plan B’ that never was! posted by stavros, 2015-07-27 22:34:48
In a recent Telegraph story worthy of a James Bond movie, former Greek finance minister, Yanis Varoufakis, attempts to save face by describing how he intended to maintain liquidity in Greece’s economy by hacking into computer systems and enabling euro transfers first in the form of IOUs then possibly to the drachma, notwithstanding the overt illegality of the plan.

Take Ibuprofen and Die - believe the Regulators posted by Mike Whitney via jaxie, 2015-07-25 18:51:34
In case you missed it: The FDA has just issued a warning on various prescription and non-prescription drugs that Americans ingest by the boatload. As it happens, these seemingly benign pain relievers can kill you even if you scrupulously follow the recommended dosage. But don’t take my word for it. Here’s a blurb from the FDA website:
“FDA is strengthening an existing warning in prescription drug labels and over-the-counter (OTC) Drug Facts labels to indicate that nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can increase the chance of a heart attack or stroke, either of which can lead to death. Those serious side effects can occur as early as the first few weeks of using an NSAID, and the risk might rise the longer people take NSAIDs.

The Myth of the Necessity of Austerity and the outright Lie that Inequality is Natural posted by cyd, 2015-07-25 10:25:48
Most of us are able to recall certain aspects of social discourse and religious doctrine which state that inequality/poverty is inevitable; however, it’s a LIE, which should be obvious to all. (full story)

How China and Russia Are Running Rings Around Washington posted by Pepe Escobar via stacey, 2015-07-24 10:27:19
Let’s start with the geopolitical Big Bang you know nothing about, the one that occurred just two weeks ago. Here are its results: from now on, any possible future attack on Iran threatened by the Pentagon (in conjunction with NATO) would essentially be an assault on the planning of an interlocking set of organizations -- the BRICS nations (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa), the SCO (Shanghai Cooperation Organization), the EEU (Eurasian Economic Union), the AIIB (the new Chinese-founded Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank), and the NDB (the BRICS' New Development Bank) -- whose acronyms you’re unlikely to recognize either. Still, they represent an emerging new order in Eurasia. (full story)

Striking at the Root of the Tree posted by baz, 2015-07-22 04:58:23
Finally, I say with some exasperation, someone has done what Henry Thoreau urged centuries past and that is strike at the root if you wish to fell a tree, metaphorical or otherwise, NOT constantly hack away at the leaves and branches, which alternative commentators and leftists obsess with.

The Times are Indeed Changin’ – for the Worse posted by justin, 2015-07-22 00:15:25
First let us consider a perverse Jewish ideological dictate that has shaped western thinking over the centuries. In the Old Testament, ‘God’ a fictitious character created in order to enslave many, says “subdue the earth,” as though the earth is some sort of wild beast in need of the arrogant intervention of puny men, whose tenability on this planet, I might add, is entirely dependent on the harmonious laws of the natural world, but of course ‘God’ failed to mention that.

The Only Way to Unite Humanity posted by jess, 2015-07-21 11:09:00
There is only one force capable of uniting humanity, it cuts through every obstacle to reign supreme, it is not an ideology, ‘ism’ or any prescribed formula, it is not to be found in books, temples, churches or any man-made structure. It may be inferred by great art, visual, textual and musical, however, it is only found and experienced in/as unconditional Love. (full story)

Mega-wealthy Elites to Determine Outcome of US 2016 Election posted by Matea Gold and Anu Narayanswamy via jess, 2015-07-21 03:48:11
A small cadre of super-wealthy Americans is dominating the fundraising for the 2016 Republican presidential nominating contest, doling out huge sums to independent groups that overwhelm total contributions to the candidates. Nearly $4 out of every $5 raised so far on behalf of GOP White House contenders has gone to independent groups rather than the official campaigns. (full story)

 Widest Wealth Disparity in Modern History – is the Real Global Economic Problem posted by zed, 2015-07-20 08:59:38
The most common trick utilised by ALL western politicians today is to distract from the core issue and create a tangential narrative in order to shift focus from the critical issue and continue to present IMPOSED, underprivileged living conditions to the people as natural and unavoidable. Politicians are loath to address the real issue, the outrageous concentration of wealth/power in the fewest possible hands, as they are installed into office by elitist media moguls in order to serve elite interests and constantly deceive (and shaft) the public – that is the long and short of it in ALL western democracies today and I challenge anyone to contradict this REALITY.

Global Ruling Elite Comes out of Shadows posted by darcy, 2015-07-20 02:09:57
The Greek crisis has proven without doubt that mega-bankers connected to the global Reserve Banking Cartel with headquarters in New York, and voracious corporatists call the shots and could care less for democracy, freedom, social welfare or humane living conditions for the masses. (full story)

Criminal Nation – “American Interests” posted by lee, 2015-07-19 00:39:26
Has it struck you yet that America, like all other nations cannot enforce its so-called ‘interests’ past its own borders – that is the international legality of the matter. However, America extends its 'interests' well beyond its national jurisdiction and borders. I refer specifically to energy resource issues here. (full story)

 MH-17 Tragedy turns into Propaganda in Australia posted by tanya, 2015-07-17 10:28:54
The tragedy of the downing of Malaysian airliner MH-17 and the understandable grief of relatives has been crafted into the most outrageous and transparent propaganda -- on the anniversary of the disaster -- I have ever witnessed in Australia, which is no stranger to American CFR propaganda and the elite agenda.
