  Washington’s Delusions on Delusions posted by Robert Parry via stan, 2015-03-12 00:07:45
The chasm between reality and the U.S. political/media elite continues to widen with Official Washington’s actions toward Iran and Russia making “the world’s sole remaining superpower” look either like a Banana Republic (on Iran) or an Orwellian Dystopia (regarding Russia). (full story)

 CIA torturers and the leaders who approved their actions must face the Law posted by Chelsea E Manning via dulcie, 2015-03-11 23:45:17
Successful intelligence gathering through interrogation and other forms of human interaction by conventional means can be – and more often than not are – very successful. But, even though interrogation by less conventional methods might get glorified in popular culture – in television dramas like Law and Order: Criminal Intent, 24 and The Closer and movies like Zero Dark Thirty – torture and the mistreatment of detainees in the custody of intelligence personnel is, was and shall continue to be unethical and morally wrong. Under US law, torture and mistreatment of detainees is also highly illegal. (full story)

 Abbott and his peers -- wake up to the duplicity of the Libs posted by darcy, 2015-03-09 21:55:51
Democracy is MAJORITY rule, by direct participation and/or representation. Abbott and the Libs are clearly an anti-democratic, minority CORPORATE serving government, the contempt comservatives have for the people is self evident. Do not be beguiled by the privately owned CORPORATE mass media and its 24 hour 'news' cycle, which is designed to wipe the memory clean each day -- REMEMBER! (full story)

 Pan Surveillance and its Consequences posted by nano, 2015-03-09 10:02:50
Have you ever wondered what effect pan-surveillance has had on intelligent social fighters for democracy, freedom and justice? If you are part of the herd the immediate reaction would be to fear ACTIVE AGENT Snowden’s revelations – a planned strategy -- increasing police powers and the militarisation of society, cringe, cower and cringe some more and be happy cowering and contracting in fear, you mass media lobotomised morons!

 The Useless Hillary Clinton Debate on the Next Presidency posted by shirl, 2015-03-08 20:11:27
All one need do is take a good look at this woman’s and her husband’s links to the shadowy Bilderberg group. When Hillary Clinton was running against Obama for the Democrat nomination some years ago, the gruelling race was settled when both attended a Bilderberg meeting in Virginia. The internal party battle was settled at that meeting by the non-representative global elite; Obama runs and Clinton should wait for her allotted time, which is the next presidential election. A little research clearly reveals the sordid picture of a woman that is an undisguised servant of the self-serving global elite. (full story)

 Washington's Covert Links to ISIL: The Evidence posted by Tim Anderson via tom, 2015-03-08 18:38:25
Reports that US and British aircraft carrying arms to the Islamic State group – better known as ISIS - have been shot down by Iraqi forces have been met with shock and denial in western countries. Few in the Middle East doubt that Washington is playing a ‘double game’ with its proxy armies in Syria, but some key myths remain important amongst the significantly more ignorant Western audiences.

 The Time Is Ripe for Revolution posted by Chris Hedges via stan, 2015-03-07 06:08:49
Tariq Ali is part of the royalty of the left. His more than 20 books on politics and history, his seven novels, his screenplays and plays and his journalism in the Black Dwarf newspaper, the New Left Review and other publications have made him one of the most trenchant critics of corporate capitalism. He hurls rhetorical thunderbolts and searing critiques at the oily speculators and corporate oligarchs who manipulate global finance and the useful idiots in the press, the political system and the academy who support them. The history of the late part of the 20th century and the early part of the 21st century has proved Ali, an Oxford-educated intellectual and longtime gadfly who once stood as a Trotskyist candidate for Parliament in Britain, to be stunningly prophetic.

The "Cataclysmic Conflict" Yet to Come posted by Tony Cartalucci via stella, 2015-03-06 23:35:22
Corporate-financier interests driving US foreign policy have long ago conspired to use Al Qaeda and other sectarian extremist forces to create a Pan-Arabian mercenary force with which to fight their enemies. Warned about in 2007 in a prophetic 9-page report by veteran journalist, two-time Pulitzer Prize-winner Seymour Hersh, then exposed through documented evidence over the course of the past four years, and now incontrovertibly unfolding before the world's eyes, this criminal conspiracy against world peace and all of humanity can be seen in its full, horrific form.

 The Lost Art of Government posted by stan, 2015-03-04 21:28:17
Have you ever wondered why politicians today lack ability; it seems they all, regardless of party stripe, follow the same script? Today’s politicians are incapable of making any decision in favour of the democratic majority and a good example today is the latest Oz government, which has bungled everything since stealing office by fraud and lies eighteen months ago. Not only did the government fail miserably, it contemptuously duped the masses to steal office. Yet it remains in power though clearly it is devoid of independent volition, vision and ability.

 The Illusion of Democracy posted by Gilbert Mercier via jaxie, 2015-03-04 20:11:38
Democracy simply put is rule by the majority either by direct participation or by representation. Today an inversion has taken place, rule by the minority. Nevertheless, the majority is able to restore democracy at will but the will is lacking so democracy/ the people have failed themselves. (full story)

PM Tony Abbott Supports Criminal Corporations Ripping Off Oz Taxpayers posted by cyd, 2015-03-02 08:09:12
Conservative parties are known to be ideologically committed to the corporate sector, a completely undemocratic attitude which should be challenged by the electorate. That commitment has recently extended to turning a blind eye to corporate fraud, massive breaches of retail trade practises and huge financial fraud. (full story)

 Oz Dunce as Leader But he Obeys the Globalist Neo-conservative Agenda posted by reg, 2015-03-01 00:05:06
I’m not going to waste time describing lying, disingenuous, duplicitous, NPD suffering, Corporate lackey Tony Abbott -- the entire Australian nation now has his measure; however, the spineless tragi-comedy his party is performing in their feeble attempt to accomplish a very simple task -- removing thoroughly incompetent Abbott -- indicates that his entire front bench must go with him or, alternatively, that Abbott is brought before the courts for the criminal offence of FRAUD.
