 'Pivot' INSANITY - why is the U.S. INTENTIONALLY Provoking China? posted by Mike Whitney via cyd, 2015-05-30 01:01:00
US Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter is willing to risk a war with China in order to defend “freedom of navigation” in the South China Sea. Speaking in Honolulu, Hawaii on Wednesday, Carter issued his “most forceful” warning yet, demanding “an immediate and lasting halt to land reclamation” by China in the disputed Spratly Islands.

Desperate US overplays its most Powerful Weapon – Disinformation posted by justin, 2015-05-29 00:48:53
The reality on the ground is stark and simple, the US is losing its parasitic grip on the western world and is fast becoming a pariah State. Russia supported by China emerged victorious in the US instigated and led economic war on Russia, furthermore, the response from Eastern superpowers created a highly viable economic alternative to Washington’s engineered debt slavery via the IMF and World bank, which the geniuses advising puppet Obama clearly failed to anticipate.

  FBI Overreach – FIFA posted by Stephen Lendman via gail, 2015-05-28 09:25:57
Notwithstanding that Zurich is a long way from Washington’s jurisdiction and that America’s principal sports are Baseball, Gridiron and Basketball, there seems to be some other reason America’s FBI has targeted FIFA. Of course, the 'scandal' is a political manoeuvre, though the compliant mainstream media, including public broadcasters like Australia’s ABC, are very careful not to investigate the real Story behind the story.

The Crippling Austerity/Debt Scam posted by vance, 2015-05-27 13:20:23
Western politicians today are obsessed with the ‘economy’ – though two actually exist, the indebted and the debt free – the never ending discourses on debt (the economy for the masses) are enough to turn anyone into an anarchist so most people simply shut off. However, a crucial element is thereby overlooked, who or what owns national debt that puppet politicians obsess about? If you say your local Reserve Bank you would be wrong! (full story)

 Tony Abbott LIAR Extraordinaire – “keeping us safe” posted by reg, 2015-05-26 10:48:22
Not many Aussies are falling for the American whopper of “keeping us safe” from the overblown Washington created, terrorist ‘threat,’ especially when errand boy and lying dunce Tony Abbott repeats the same worn out line. I couldn’t believe my ears when Abbott spouted that phrase. Okay, let’s take it at face value and assess how many lives have been lost due to terrorism and other real national killers like corporate tobacco, diabetes food companies and a host of other REAL threats to Oz citizens -- we all know the answer without the stats which clearly compromise corporate killers and atrocious government as the REAL threat to Australian security. But poor ol’ servant boy Tony has no choice, he must toe the Washington line no matter how inappropriate it is in Oz, people here are more under threat from in-grown toenails than terrorists – FACT! The terrorist ‘threat’ regardless of how overblown the media dutifully portrays it to be, has no hope of bucking REALITY. (full story)

 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)

In the absurd, caveman game of trumpsmanship the USA plays with two opposing nuclear superpowers be assured nobody 'wins;' nevertheless, the following piece is worth a read, notwithstanding America's moronic OBSESSION with 'winning' -- whatever that is supposed to mean in the current context (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.
