  The Two Party Political Charade in Oz .., posted by jess, 2015-05-14 10:07:07
which clearly serves elite interests, maintain their status as the only two horses in the race, even though it is broadly known that both parties are owned by the same plutocratic stable – the colours they wear are purely for show, and that is the point. While only two major parties exist that are capable of forming a real government, the people are stuck with one political agenda regardless of the vote they cast. And it always turns out the same, what can we do for you now Washington and the corporate banker elite? The situation is sickening, as ‘democracy’ – government by and for the MAJORITY -- becomes a meaningless word. (full story)

 Budget: it’s ‘fair’ because Abbott says so … posted by cyd, 2015-05-13 01:45:38
And as we know Abbott is an unrepentant LIAR and disingenuous clown in the service of the big end of town. The FACT that Abbott has CONTINUED to target pensioners, the vulnerable, average wage earners and citizens by juggling the figures -- taking from Tom to pay Paul -- is obvious but not a major measure to fill the void in REVENUE left by tax avoiding multinationals, yet this budget is “fair”, my arse!

“To see what is in front of one's nose requires constant struggle” -- George Orwell posted by alias, 2015-05-12 13:27:17
As usual Orwell is right on the button; today, as Orwell predicted, few see the forest for the tress, in fact, fewer still see anything that isn’t packaged by the mass media. And so the REAL crisis of climate change, which threatens the tenure of humanity and the earth as we know it, is backgrounded by Kim Kardashian’s tits and empty head. But how much more vacuous are the heads of the digitally captured slave herd that ‘follow’ Kardashian on twit-ter and ‘facefuck?’ (full story)

 Budget: Multinational Tax “Crack Down” Farce posted by baz, 2015-05-11 01:19:43
The very first consideration to a proposed ‘tax crackdown’ – journalists with integrity spell it out without fear or favour, Mr Jared Owens -- on multinational tax avoiders is that the news/propaganda was published in a Murdoch rag by one of the mass media’s job anxiety journalists under the strict editorial control of Murdoch, who just happens to be among the most culpable tax avoiders in the country/world.

 Transparent – the ‘shock’ of the UK Election posted by justin, 2015-05-09 01:49:37
Is it really surprising that elite serving, austerity loving, conservatives have been re-elected in Britain? Consider how elite Banker and Corporate elites have installed compliant conservative governments in most western nations to serve the elitist Corporate agenda of debt-slavery, depressed wages, rising costs and austerity for everyone except the elite that enjoy almost unrestrained freedom to plunder and do whatever they like with impunity, which unfortunate reality for the masses, is the direct result of the influence/control elites exercise over THEIR owned and installed political puppets, of which Cameron is a ‘fine’ example.

 Unhinged – Tony Abbott chief Advisor member of tin hat Brigade posted by stacey, 2015-05-08 03:07:34
Maurice Newman, chief business advisor to the Australian PM, ‘honest’ Tony Abbott, has come out; he believes and has gone on record as stating that climate change is a conspiracy designed to install the UN as a one world government – talk about whacko! (full story)

The pre-Requisite posted by jude, 2015-05-07 11:52:43
Prior to any external revolution a transformative internal revolution must occur. All resistant actions that do not issue from NEW visions, which personal transformation affords, are doomed to fail as they necessarily arise from the same cesspool of perverse thought patterns which created the mess that demands change. A perverse cultural consciousness can only re-create itself and nothing really new is achieved, that is the reason history repeats itself. (full story)

 Abbott’s Continuing Deceit and his ‘new’ Budget posted by barry, 2015-05-06 23:49:37
All one need do is listen to the distracting garbage his ministers spew endlessly regarding revenue measures, which continue to target the people and ignore tax avoiding multi-nationals, the largest earners and tax avoiders in the land. (full story)

Signing up to the Trans-Pacific Partnership is Treason, pure and simple posted by via jude, 2015-05-06 11:40:27
Any government or politician that signs up to the ‘TPP,’ a corporate designed plan/strategy to plunder participating nations, would allow multi-national corporations -- the tax avoiding, polluting scourge of the earth – to legally overrule the decisions and authority of elected governments and to seek multi-billion dollar compensation for threatening ‘projected’ (dreamworld) profits.

The argument for social reform is no longer valid as western governments have strayed so far beyond redemption and correction people are now faced with removing the current corrupt and perverse status quo altogether. (full story)

The Simplest proves to be the most Difficult today posted by stacey, 2015-05-05 10:08:56
Why have the simplest and most effective social actions become difficult? Indeed an intriguing question which I am unable to effectively answer though one obvious culprit in the equation is a media or rather a propaganda neutered population. (full story)
