 Globalisation – a One-Sided Corporate Affair posted by janice, 2015-04-26 09:33:34
Has the penny dropped yet? The term globalisation is a pervasive term yet the reality is only a tiny minority benefit most from what they created and termed ‘globalisation.’ For instance, mega-corporations, transnationals and large banks not only exploit the underpaid in the undeveloped world they also utilise globalised tax avoidance structures to shift profits stolen from the nations they exploit and move them off-shore to tax havens and pay little or no tax to the nations where the profits were extracted – I may also add that profit is theft pure and simple, as some entity -- usually workers and consumers – are always short-changed or ripped off in order for profit to exist.

ANZAC Myth and ANZAC Reality posted by Prof. Tim Anderson via dale, 2015-04-25 09:07:54
Prior to Prof. Anderson's article it is necessary to set the record straight regarding white heroism fighting the Ottoman Turks. Foremost is trashing the myth of white only colonial boys fighting for a thoroughly inept British command and paying the ultimate price for Australia's lack of a national sovereign identity. The landing at Gallipoli cove surrounded by fully fortified and prepared Turkish positions entrenched on the high ground is the ultimate military folly one that any commander going back to Spartan times would have avoided, but not so servile Australia whose foolish officers and easily led boys died for no good reason. But that is another issue that myth will no doubt obscure. (full story)

Two Undeclared Wars that Threaten Humanity posted by nano, 2015-04-25 07:52:14

  TRUTH Is Washington’s Greatest Enemy posted by Paul Craig Roberts via vance, 2015-04-22 10:41:45
George Orwell prophetically warned, when Truth becomes the enemy of the State that State becomes the enemy of the People -- and so it is with America today. (full story)

 Oz Major Political Parties – servility to Banker and Corporate interests Confirmed posted by bruce, 2015-04-22 08:08:13
Opposition shadow treasurer Chris Bowen, from the (LOL) so-called Australian ‘worker’s party,’ divulged his party’s taxation policy on the ABC 7.30 program tonight and you guessed it, like his counterpart in the serving conservative party ‘his’ policies targeted wage earners NOT tax avoiding multi-nationals and mega banks – surprise, surprise, for no-one!

Neocon Think Tank Proposes US Proxy Armies and Perpetual War to Control Syria and World posted by Stephen Lendman via trudi, 2015-04-21 00:19:14
The Atlantic Council is a hawkish right-wing think tank. It was founded in 1961 to support NATO’s killing machine. It’s one of many similar groups in America threatening world peace and stability. Its solution for ending Obama’s war on Syria is escalated war. It proposes what it calls a Syrian National Stabilization Force (SNSF) - code language for US-controlled conquering and occupying army.

 Slave Nations – if the chains fit…! posted by shamus, 2015-04-20 01:35:46
Think about the principles upon which America was founded, life, liberty, FREEDOM and the pursuit of happiness, and then take a good look at the grotesque nation America is today; indefinite incarceration without charge or trial, legalised torture and kidnapping of citizens by the State, secret government kill lists that target US citizens – what a thorough travesty of the Bill of Rights, Declaration of Independence and Constitution, woe, woe, woe America!

Climate Change and the Anthrax Letters – not strange bedfellows posted by zed, 2015-04-19 01:40:58
Back in 1973 the Australian CSIRO, a scientific research body, outlined the effects of climate change and gave a cogent warning to the world. A documentary was released on a local television station at the time. It predicted that the ‘tipping point,’ or point of no return, would be breached within a decade if radical measures were not implemented to curtail the effects of pollution. The result was that corporate controlled governments did nothing to stem the poisonous tide of industrial pollution and climate change, but instead radically reduced funding to the CSIRO – no doubt at the behest of the corporate lobby.

 MH370 – Foul Play posted by jim, 2015-04-17 22:28:55
The obvious answer is usually the correct answer, however, in western 24-hour-memory and attention deficit societies the obvious becomes blurred by not only the attention-grabbing but attention directing mass media, this unfortunate reality is exactly how it’s meant to be according to the ‘perception management’ agenda of the ruling global elite – free analytical thinking is fast becoming a crime, just ask any real investigative reporter, or understand why western puppet governments are targeting ‘sensitive’ information disseminators.

We can do it but you cannot – because we are exceptional! posted by jovan, 2015-04-17 11:27:45
Exceptional indeed, exceptionally hypocritical. Well, the world has had enough of American double standards and bullshit, or is America too exceptionally stupid to realise that the tide is turning away from passive acceptance of brazen US criminality -- America remains the world’s leading civilian killing, therefore terrorist, nation and no amount of Orwellian double-talk is able to alter that statistical, criminal, REALITY. The next time America attempts to blame a victim by screaming terrorist, simply hand it a mirror and tell it to withdraw from its one thousand ‘Fort Apaches’ strategically placed around the globe.

 Google, '.. be evil' posted by staff report via gail, 2015-04-16 11:07:49
