 Russia: successful Investors assess Reality not absurdist Propaganda posted by sraff report via cyd, 2015-07-16 09:32:18
Indeed, for all the western mass media's demonisation of Russia and the crap spewing forth from the Pentagon and Washington vassal States, successful investors have a keen realistic eye for opportunity and wealth. One such view follows. (full story)

Greece Suicides -- Draconian Austerity demands pass through traitorous Parliament posted by darcy, 2015-07-16 03:55:24
Greece’s fate was sealed when Brussels, with its eye on Greece’s currency printing presses, saw they failed to roll. With the knowledge that Greece had not prepared for a default/exit, or plan B, Brussels hit as hard as was possible and destroyed Greece as an independent, sovereign nation, who is to blame if blame should be apportioned?

The Myth of WMD – bullshit first answer for it after the illegal Act posted by jaxie, 2015-07-16 01:33:35
An official American report has recently been released confirming what UN weapons inspectors, Hans Blix and Richard Butler clearly stated before the illegal invasion of Iraq – there were NO WMD in Iraq! (full story)

It’s TIME for PEACE to enter and hopefully dominate the social discourse posted by jane, 2015-07-15 09:00:49
It seems that few have noticed how the elite’s propaganda arm, largely directed by the CFR, has naturalised ‘perpetual war.’ The mass media has effectively made war, the lowest form of human interaction, acceptable. Parasitic and psychopathic bankers and corporations that profit from human misery and the destruction of entire (once stable) nations, couldn’t be more pleased. Well, I will shout it from the rooftops, war is not only UNNECESSARY and contrived by evil elites, it threatens the stability and peace of all nations/peoples everywhere. (full story)

  Behind the Mask of Democracy Lurks Tyranny posted by John Wight via gail, 2015-07-15 06:23:30
Events in Greece have succeeded in ripping the mask of democracy off the face of the EU to reveal a cold, callous, and brutal tyranny of blind economic forces. Not since the end of the Second World War has a people and nation in Western Europe been forced to endure the economic hardship and privation that Greece and its people are suffering today. The fact that such privation is being delivered as a clear violation of democracy and national sovereignty is evidence that the values of freedom and human rights for which so many sacrificed their lives in World War II are still to be won in Western Europe.

 A Viable Alternative to Banker/Corporate Captured Governments is urgently Required posted by justin, 2015-07-14 12:36:59
Western politics today has become a means and end in itself and the people/representative democracy have been left out of the picture, yet people constantly vote for the best of the worst options rather than reject both. (full story)

A Dose of Reality re: Eurozone Instability posted by cyd, 2015-07-14 01:00:39
The US/NATO has its tentacles and bases across Europe, which have recently been enhanced by a larger US military presence fearing social unrest due to the Greek 'crisis' -- the important factor to note here is that this force is a UNIFIED broad-reaching military force. The so-called peoples 'leftist parties' are scattered throughout southern European nations -- the important fact to note is, they are NOT UNITED under a single 'banner' and are of course unarmed. Now in the event of social unrest and a conflict between a UNITED military force and divided, unarmed leftists that live in a dreamworld, who would you imagine would prevail in a conflict? Exactly!

US Military Prepared for Social Unrest in Eurozone posted by Finian Cunningham via jake, 2015-07-13 23:50:22
The capitulation of the Greek government to Berlin-led finance capital is a daunting watershed moment. It marks the “disciplining” of the wider European electorate under corporatist financier rule. What is happening in Greece is a forerunner for other European Union states. (full story)

THE Problem is Moral Disintegration NOT Oligarchs and Plutocrats posted by stacey, 2015-07-13 11:31:13
I have just completed reading the bleating of commentators such as Pilger of the UK and Hedges of the US; both writers are currently discoursing on the topic of the day, the tragedy of Greece’s capitulation to neoliberal greed and plutocratic standover tactics yet both commentators easily fall prey to these forces by inadvertently depicting their enemies, the oligarchs and plutocrats, as winners and to counter these radical, truly revolutionary forces both writers offer a nineteenth century ideological solution, to “fight,” physically [implied].

Agreement reached - Alexis Tsipras Caves to Unreasonable Demands posted by Dow Jones newswires and Amber Plum via stavros, 2015-07-13 03:32:03
How any self-respecting national leader could agree to the terms imposed on Greece by Eurozone leaders is simply beyond comprehension -- especially considering a far more viable alternative existed. Greeks have just become the shit-eaters of Europe. National assets handed over as surety will no doubt be appropriated by Eurozone financial apparatuses leaving Greeks slaves in their own nation (full story)

 Labor has NO HOPE with Shorten as Leader posted by darcy, 2015-07-13 02:57:51
Bill Shorten shouldn’t resign over his compromising performance at the Royal Commission, he should resign simply because he clearly is not up to the task of defeating pathologically lying, divisive and incompetent Abbott who continues to target the vulnerable in the community while allowing his elitist masters a free ride, especially on TAX issues.

The ‘German group’ is forcing Greece out of Eurozone posted by stavros, 2015-07-12 20:45:51
Draconian preconditions to a desperately needed bailout for Greece have been set by Eurozone leaders – they amount to the most outrageous and humiliating attack on any sovereign nation in Europe in peace time. (full story)

'Grexit' likely as Eurozone leaders fail to reach Agreement on Greece posted by Ian Traynor via stavros, 2015-07-12 02:08:17
Germany leads the exit hawks and is demanding that Greece is booted from the Eurozone for five years, however, Germany also wishes to gut Greece of its national assets at the same time -- impossible! A last ditch meeting has been scheduled for Sunday and the US will play a major role though behind the scenes. If a suitable agreement is not reached then clearly it's goodbye Eurozone, though it may take a little time. (full story)

 Greek PM Alexis Tsipras hands Greece’s Sovereignty to Brussels on a Platter posted by jane, 2015-07-11 01:56:45
What was the point of a democratic referendum if capitulation to the appalling conditions set by the ‘troika’ and Wall Street have been met by Greece’s parliament, one may truly ask? (full story)

The Plan posted by jude, 2015-07-10 12:06:39
In the eighties the global (banker) ruling elite implemented a plan that has far exceeded their wildest dreams – debt-slavery for citizens and nations as a means to contain, enslave and plunder. Issue easy credit to indebt everyone and depress real wages while incrementally increasing costs. This strategy also applied to nations but on a macro scale. (full story)
