  Oz Mass Media Deflects from Culpability of NSW Police Chief over Lindt Cafe Siege LIES posted by justin, 2016-08-22 23:01:08
Here we go again, it’s called “perception management” today, or ‘crowd control’ as it was once called, developed to perfection by Nazi propaganda minister, Joseph Goebbles. (full story)

 Growing Up Insane in America posted by William Hawes via shirl, 2016-08-21 01:17:44
The current state of American politics must make us question whether any of our leaders in the Beltway can be described as “grown-ups”, i.e., fully mature and sane individuals. Between the endless war crimes, corporate corruption, lobbyists who bribe congressmen and write legislation, and the ineptitude of federal entities who are supposed to protect our health such as the FDA, EPA, and CDC, it would appear that leaders in all three branches of government, as well as the leaders of the corporate world, are either insane or suffer from various psychological disorders as well as suffering from a type of collective dementia/delusion, the common denominator of which complaints, being narcissistic self-focus and an utter lack of empathy for the other, or respect for the earth, environment.

 “Mission Accomplished” -- Americans Live in a Dreamworld posted by bruce, 2016-08-20 21:33:14
Which mission was that, anyone could ask, as all America has accomplished is one disaster after another since it began its criminal push to militarily control the world (fat chance)? Yet not one lying neocon war criminal has been held to account for the needless millions of innocent war dead -- give the world a break, psychopathic dreamboats! (full story)

 The Sooner the Masses Realise that Mega-Banks and Corporations Control Western Governments ... posted by jane, 2016-08-19 23:12:13
Yes, indeed, today democracy is DEAD and has been for decades. Minority, mega-wealthy special interests have taken ownership and control of ALL western governments, plain to see. (full story)

Impaired Recall posted by jess, 2016-08-18 23:38:27
No, the title is not a movie, it’s a fact/reality. Today, the mainstream media is in the business of misinformation overload. The result is that media consumers suffer from memory short circuits, usually to the point that memories are wiped clean every 24 hours. If anyone doubts this new social phenomenon then simply try and recall the time when Obama normalised mafia murder tactics by making allowances for the president to compile secret ‘kill lists’ and then murder anyone anywhere on the planet who was/is on the hit list. To say these tactics and actions are illegal is gross understatement, yet Obama today is able to commit the most horrendous crimes with impunity. Previous, now aged generations, stand horrified at the complete lack of moral fibre today’s generations openly display. (full story)

   Australian Corporations Overrun by Foreign Executives and Their Toxic FOREIGN Policies posted by employee, 2016-08-17 04:40:01
Indeed, any Australian citizen that has had occasion to legitimately complain against any local corporation is aware of a new un-Australian culture of denial, stalling, blaming the victim and consciously making every effort to avoid responsibility for policy failures and other offences against consumers, employees and the public. And so it is with major supermarket COLES -- a Wesfarmers enterprise -- which company has been and continues to be under the executive management of Brits and other foreigners for decades. Now please note, the emphasis on “foreign/er” is only to highlight the lack of knowledge and familiarity with TRADITIONAL AUSTRALIAN CULTURAL VALUES, most notably, the FAIR GO! (full story)

The Normalisation of Deviance In Corporate Culture and Government posted by Nicolas J S Davies via jaxie, 2016-08-15 23:24:33
Sociologist Diane Vaughan coined the term “normalization of deviance” as she was investigating the explosion of the Challenger space shuttle in 1986. She used it to describe how the social culture at NASA fostered a disregard for rigorous, physics-based safety standards, effectively creating new, lower de facto standards that came to govern actual NASA operations and led to catastrophic and deadly failures.

 The System is Rigged - We Don't Have To Take It ANYMORE! posted by Patrick J. Buchanan via shirl, 2016-08-13 21:25:15
“I’m afraid the election is going to be rigged,” Donald Trump told voters in Ohio and Sean Hannity on Fox News. And that hit a nerve. [Note that Trump uses future tense, however, it is already known that the System IS rigged -- I refer to the election of 'dubya' Bush over Al Gore and the electoral fraud in Florida.] (full story)

 Olympic Weightlifter - A Vegan! posted by Caroline Praderio via gail, 2016-08-12 22:27:46
This piece should blow away all myths surrounding a meatless diet and strength levels. Kendrick Farris has been a vegan since 2014 and continues to compete at elite Olympic levels, notwithstanding by eliminating meat, animal corpses from his diet, he avoids a multitude of cancers. (full story)

At What Cost to the People? DoD’s $6.5 TRILLION Unaccountable Blowout posted by Dave Lindorff with intro by jess, 2016-08-12 00:02:51
Former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, infamous for his ‘unknown knowns and known unknowns,’ once made public during his appalling tenure that $2 trillion in Defense spending was unaccountable/untraceable -- well, what an underestimation (expected) that figure was. Today an official government publication increases that untraceable spending by the DoD to $6.5 Trillion! That is a staggering figure, especially when Congress has legislated that all government departments, including the DoD, submit regular accounts for auditing by Congress; however, as is obvious, the DoD considers itself above the law and government, as it has failed to provide such information for two decades -- and clearly, we now know why!

You Look But You Do Not See posted by val, 2016-08-11 03:12:39
Consider stark REALITY, for once! A rogue nation, the identity of which should become obvious, has illegally, militarily intervened in numerous nations over the past two decades, the RESULT: those nations, Libya, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan TODAY are cot cases in every sense and YET these military interventions were presented to the people as liberating, democracy was to displace stable dictatorships and those nations were meant to prosper under the 'guiding hand' of the rogue nation. However as is starkly EVIDENT, anarchy and massive violent destabilisation prevails in those nations, and yet the clearly criminal -- with the highest civilian killing rate in the world -- rogue nation, leads the western world and involves a host of nations in its own crimes.

The Turning Point posted by claire, 2016-08-10 00:34:07
Indeed, if history -- not news/propaganda -- is to be our guide then it is clear the globe now faces tumultuous social change. The old established elite ‘order’ has failed miserably to maintain the master-slave model -- plain to see. The result of course is what it has always been, social upheaval and persistent opposition to the corruption and machinations (control of our governments) by minority ruling elites. (full story)

Billionaire Bonanza - System Skewed to Favour Mega-rich posted by Lauren McCauley via jill, 2016-08-08 21:39:28
A new study by a global market research firm Wealth-X, found that not only has the number of billionaires grown, so have their fortunes; but more importantly, what are our bought, puppet politicians doing to address this huge disparity in wealth? Answer: granting evermore benefits and tax breaks to their mega-wealthy masters, is anyone surprised by how this wealthy minority continues to accrue evermore amounts of money?
Once again the responsibility for this outrageous disparity falls on the shoulders of the masses for allowing corrupt, unrepresentative politicians to dupe and screw them, plain to see. So until YOU elect representative, honest and fair people to office or forcibly remove and jail existing criminal politicians, don't complain -- you cowardly, ignorant slaves, you deserve everything you get!
