  US Targets Balkans for another 'Revolution' posted by Paul Craig Roberts via sal, 2015-05-26 01:19:30
Russia abandoning southern slavs and allowing US/NATO forces to fragment Yugoslavia was sure to rebound on the mother country. The Balkans has always been a critical strategic region bridging East and West; today its strategic value is no less important but for other reasons, namely (energy) pipelines. The US seeks to capture Macedonia in order to block Russian planned gas pipelines that would supply Europe thereby weakening America's grip in the region and losing zillions in energy resource profits. The stakes are high and US necons are willing to risk war with Russia and China in order to maintain their parasitic grip on Europe and serve their powerful energy corporations. It simply amounts to the inevitability of a major nuclear conflict involving three superpowers. It is also a wake up call for the apathetic global masses which have allowed a tiny minority of nut cases to wreak havoc on the globe. Well, payday is fast approaching. (full story)

 Forfeiting Freedom posted by zed, 2015-05-25 03:05:01
Have you ever asked yourself, “what does the State think it’s doing spying on ALL citizens?” Probably not, as the question demands an answer and that answer would have translated into action to curtail all (clearly unnecessary) pan surveillance. (full story)

 Australia’s Washington led government softens citizens for Police State posted by baz, 2015-05-24 11:56:22
Today, ‘Sunday’ 24 May, an item was quietly slipped into the mass media’s news of distraction and propaganda. Police are now conducting and will continue to conduct spot terrorist ‘threat’ activities in major cities; footage depicted police herding citizens this way and that at train station exits and other busy areas. Police justified these ‘rehearsals’ citing the already failed (Martin Place) manufactured terrorist bogeyman ploy. Reality stands firm as always, the threat to Oz and indeed America, from terrorist related deaths is infinitesimal while health issues predominate as the greatest peace time killer of locals.

 BRICS Trample US in South America posted by Pepe Escobar via sal, 2015-05-24 00:58:54
For a century the US has owned Latin America by employing its usual control methods, CIA internal destabilisation/revolts and then installing mass murdering dictators compliant to US corporate interests, nothing has changed today; and so Americans enjoyed bananas, pineapples on their tables, oil and other resources at rock bottom prices while Latin Americans starved. Well, all bad things come to an end and BRICS spells goodbye and good riddance to the murdering, parasitic USA. (full story)

The Results of Neoconservative Insanity posted by darcy, 2015-05-22 13:29:35
One would have to belong to the mass media addicted moron brigade not to have noticed what the ideology of perpetual war, coercion, corruption/bribery and outright invasive resource theft has done for the USA? Isolate it, to put it succinctly, numerous former vassals and unwilling ‘allies’ signing up to China’s AIIB, much to Washington’s chagrin, is just one huge example of the World turning its back on criminal State America.

 Social Apathy results in Abuses by Government Agencies posted by jess, 2015-05-22 04:38:49
It has recently been revealed that Oz spy agency ASIO, in league with other western criminal agencies, flagrantly and not so secretly attempted to gain access/hack all Android devices in order to pry and spy on ALL Android users, Google has very little to say about it as it has openly partnered with a CIA front company but that is not the major point – HACKING, as has been described (link below), is totally ILLEGAL. Agencies in most western nations must gain authorisation from the courts to legally spy on individuals or groups, HOWEVER, broad-based or pan hacking REMAINS COMPLETELY ILLEGAL under various communications acts and should be immediately challenged in the nations where this felony has been attempted or successfully perpetrated.

 Sacked Oz ‘journalist’ to Sue former Employer SBS posted by snowy, 2015-05-20 11:53:49
And rightfully so, it is America that leads the world in fictive journalism and brazen propaganda; to imagine that an Oz media commentator would be sacked for telling the truth about one of Australia’s enduring myths is not only absurd it is anti-Australian to the extreme. (full story)

Empires Never Die Quietly – Cycles of Catastrophe posted by happy jack, 2015-05-18 00:26:56
History informs us in no uncertain terms that every great Empire fails but rarely, if ever, fails with a whimper. And so fasten your apathetic seatbelts, cowards, slaves and drones because it is you, as has always been the case, that allows this dread-full cycle to persist. (full story)

The Sociopathic Neocon Agenda Today posted by judd, 2015-05-17 01:16:41
The neocon agenda, expressed in the PNAC document, which has been pursued by the USA from presidents Clinton through to Obama is basic and insane, world domination at any cost; notwithstanding that any nation group or person that aspires to global domination is plainly in desperate need of incarcerated psychiatric treatment. Yet this insane agenda has been pursued by both major US political parties for over 20 years simply because both major parties in the US and other western 'democracies' are literally owned by the same (malevolent) interests that adhere to the lunatic ideology of perpetual war, destabilisation and eventual (pipedream) world domination.

We should first recall pathologically lying Tony Abbott’s remark, that “our police are the best in the world,” well Mr Abbott, reality shreds ANOTHER of your pathetic LIES – you will never implement a police State here and furthermore I have no idea why the Australian people continue to tolerate you as leader of our nation, my demented grandmother could do a better job simply by not following the directions of the corporate elite, I shall explain why soon.

 Oz National Security Compromised by Canberra Politicians posted by mitch, 2015-05-15 00:45:58
No sooner had the ink dried on a previous article regarding the dangerous servile attitude to war mongering Washington displayed by our federal politicians, than Abbott, the ‘iron man,’ (LOL) informed the national press that “the US had no plans to base B-1 [bombers] in Australia,” even though Washington openly stated the contrary (read through the associated Murdoch bullshit). Also, from the AFR "... top officials who said the US would be "placing additional Air Force assets in Australia … including B-1 bombers and surveillance aircraft". (full story)
