 The Trump presidency should generate a thunderous WAKE UP call for all Americans posted by michael payne via dulcie, 2017-04-28 20:25:01
As we witness the Trump presidency continue to rapidly accelerate down the wrong road, here's a message to send out all across America: Never, ever, make this same kind of monumental mistake again; allowing someone like the current totally incompetent, irrational occupant of the White House to assume this degree of power.

Let’s assess some facts and realities and steer clear of all the inaccurate verbiage and twaddle of mainstream and alternative media journos that are mostly in love with their own voices, while at the same time displaying a morbid fear of addressing some obvious hard facts. (full story)

Israeli Damascus Airstrike: Putin’s Missile Defence of Syria Exposed as Useless posted by jess, 2017-04-27 23:56:41
The mass media is again guiding the minds of the herded masses (by omission) regarding the Israeli airstrike on Damascus. Indeed, this is the second occasion, in a matter of weeks, that the much lauded, by compliant pro-Russian journos have been forced to eat their words -- all one need do is ask them what happened to these Russian made, extolled, air defences which should have prevented Israel’s recent strike -- though you won’t find a word about same in the mass OR alternative media?

 Turnbull and his Absurd, Flagrantly Racist, “Australian Values” posted by shaz, 2017-04-26 05:11:50
I recently read a piece in the local Guardian, titled, "The incredible shrinking Malcolm gets even smaller spouting 'Australian values' “ -- how true, Turnbull is USELESS, no secret, though most journos have missed the essential core element of Turnbull’s rants -- and that is unabashed Anglo racism.

 Are we [Australians] Truly Ready for the Consequences of a War with China? posted by Nick Xenophon vial gail, 2017-04-25 20:39:58
We are faced today with a question that has never before arisen in our history. From January 1788, when the First Fleet sailed into Botany Bay, to 2008, during the Global Financial Crisis, we've had first Britain and then the USA as both trading partner and strategic ally. (full story)

 The US Presidency -- an International Joke posted by justin, 2017-04-24 22:02:25
Many would attribute Trump’s latest ‘miscalculation’ on the whereabouts of his aircraft carrier, Carl Vinson, to be one of his imbecilic statements of bravado/ignorance, matched only by the insane ramblings of the leader of North Korea. However, since buffoon in company ‘dubya’ Bush and backflipper extraordinaire, Nobel Peace Laureate Obama, who later announced that [drone] 'killing was his strong suit;' it becomes painfully evident to the global population that the world’s most powerful military nation has, and has had, buffoons/simpletons and LIARS at its helm for decades, which FACT has eroded the last vestiges of confidence that sane nations have in the USA -- a power shift, economic and military, is occurring as I write.

 We, The People, Are NOT the Enemy! posted by claire, 2017-04-23 22:07:28
Western populations have allowed various western states to implement PAN-surveillance, which means EVERYONE! The excuse for such was that it ‘keeps us safe,’ whereas studies/FACTS reveal that terrorist attacks are not impeded by pan-surveillance -- in other words pan-surveillance is NOT a preventative measure; however, it does offer itself to a multitude of uses particularly for the corporate community, which are able to source these databases to sell advertising more effectively. It also lends itself to the most intrusive form of personal privacy breaches, which values and liberties our forefathers fought world wars to preserve. (full story)

The USA, the Most Hypocritical Nation on Earth posted by Robert Fisk via james, 2017-04-19 04:35:28
It was the Mother of all Hypocrisy. Some dead Syrian babies matter, I guess. Other dead Syrian babies don’t matter. One mass murder in Syria two weeks ago killed children and babies and stirred our leaders to righteous indignation. But the slaughter in Syria this weekend killed even more children and babies – yet brought forth nothing but silence from those who claim to guard our moral values. How could this be? (full story)
