  Why the CIA [and Oligarchs] are for Hillary Clinton posted by Patrick Martin via jane, 2016-08-08 00:16:06
In an op-ed column in Friday’s New York Times, former top CIA official Michael Morell publicly endorsed Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton. In the article, Morell branded Clinton’s Republican opponent, Donald Trump, as a pawn of Russian President Vladimir Putin (full story)

 Dis-empowering American Mainstream Journo feebly attempts to Dupe the Masses posted by jake, 2016-08-07 23:14:45
I could scarcely believe what I was reading, an article from the mainstream Boston Globe by one, questionable character (easily proven), Stephen Kinzer. The article is titled, "Don't Blame the Masses,” which of course is counter-intuitive and erroneously based as reality begs to differ, So I decided to read this feeble attempt at apologetics, journalistic contortion and mis-information, as I was to discover, and what a tragic read it was/is!

 Members of US Senate Oppose Obama Plan for $1 trillion nuclear weapons ‘modernisation’ posted by james, 2016-08-06 21:53:59
If it wasn’t so tragic (and deceptive) you’d have to laugh at the way the transparent mass media and shadow government deals with critically IMPORTANT news. Just before Obama’s orchestrated and well timed visit to Hiroshima and before puppet Liar-in-Chief made peace speeches to the world, Obama quietly sanctioned military plans to overhaul, “modernise” America’s nuclear arsenal at an estimated cost of almost one trillion dollars, which action makes his 'peace' speeches just another lying con/ruse -- it is an OPEN secret that plans are underway to attack Russia and China in order to ‘subdue/contain’ these two superpowers and force them to conform to Washington’s dictates, fat chance! The fact that Russia and China are sovereign independent nations with a combined military strength that exceeds that of the US/NATO, seems to be lost on neocon psychopaths behind this push for “Full Spectrum Dominance/Pax Americana” or nuclear war in plain words.

The Future in a Word: WAR! posted by jess, 2016-08-05 21:04:46
How is it possible that a clearly rogue nation (USA) which touts world domination by military force and flouts international and local laws habitually, has become the leader of all western nations, when its past and present leaders should be on trial? If you ask that very relevant question the answer becomes plain, western populations have surrendered their democratic (majority rule) prerogatives to criminals in high office and as a result, are being led like sheep to the slaughter. 'If you follow a blowfly it can only lead you to shit!' -- an old Slav adage. (full story)

 Rudd vs Turnbull -- clash of the pathological Narcissists posted by jess, 2016-08-04 19:30:04
We all know what Rudd is capable of, he excels if offended in subversion, and Turnbull would be very lucky indeed if Rudd restrained his wrath over Turnbull refusing to allow Rudd to compete for UN leadership -- notwithstanding Rudd has no chance and therein lies Turnbull’s huge folly. (full story)

Hanson's One Nation party, now force in Senate -- Political Dunce Malcolm Turnbull does it YET AGAIN posted by jaxie, 2016-08-04 01:56:49
Turnbull could have called a standard election any time he chose after becoming leader of his party -- he should have capitalised on his unfounded media popularity when he had it. However, Turnbull imagined he was unbeatable, as he believed the baseless media hype himself, silly fool! So he called a Double Dissolution election in order to clean out the Senate of what he thought were obstructionists. Well, now, far-right bigots have gained four Senate seats; though they do not possess the balance of power, the Greens maintain that position, it is a disastrous outcome. Four Senate seats are now held by myopic, parochial, avowed racists and political dunces, which creates a Senate more difficult than before Turnbull's ‘genius’ DD election. Sure, he will claim it was a ‘cabinet decision,’ hoping to evade responsibility and duck for cover, however, Turnbull is 'leader' and takes FULL responsibility for the fiasco the nation and sane parliamentarians NOW face.

 Oz Census: Turnbull’s Deluded ‘Absolutes’ posted by darcy, 2016-08-03 22:59:58
It is clear that narcissist Oz PM Malcolm Turnbull is a political dunce. Politicians learn very early in their careers NEVER to make absolute statements, as it is these that cause the most grief for any politician -- as these statements always prove incorrect. (full story)

Stop Griping and Engage posted by stella, 2016-08-03 01:04:49
The world is in the throes of total denial and avoidance, excuse-making today has become a plague. However, the FACT remains, in DEMOCRATIC societies the MAJORITY should rule, so why is that not the case? Simple, WE acquiesce rather than ACT! I’ve heard all the lame excuses, “it’s no use so why bother,” distills most of them, why bother, indeed? (full story)

The International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) in The Hague has determined that the late Serbian president Slobodan Milosevic was not responsible for war crimes committed during the 1992-95 Bosnian war. (full story)

Russia and China “.. to jointly deal with maritime security threats” in South China Sea posted by mitch, 2016-07-31 00:14:07
It has already been postulated that the South China Sea may be the most likely flash point for WWIII. The stakes are high as outlined in that article and idiotic, obsequious Australia will learn that kowtowing to America is NOT WORTH becoming a PRIMARY NUCLEAR TARGET -- neutrality is without doubt the only option for Australia but tell that to our clearly SPINELESS, knee-walking politicians.

 “... If the blind lead the blind, both will fall into a pit." posted by jas, 2016-07-30 01:32:03
You better believe it, these words are as relevant today as they were two thousand years ago, and I am no believer in fictitious ‘Gods or Saviours’ as I know that humans only are able to save themselves as a species; nevertheless, most fictitious theological narratives contain nuggets of pure TRUTH.

Hillary: Untrustworthy and Dangerous little puppet of the nefarious global Elite posted by val, 2016-07-29 03:19:21
I have just witnessed H. Clinton attempting to come across to the American people as just your average family woman, she also stated that Trump can’t be trusted with nuclear weapons if he gains office, well, true but Clinton is far less trustworthy than Trump in that regard. (full story)

 The Allegory of a Lion raised as a Sheep posted by jas, 2016-07-29 00:54:24
When I was a child, I watched a Disney cartoon about a Lion that was raised as a sheep, it made an impression on me, though I was too young to appreciate its implications, i.e. to unravel the now obvious allegory. Indeed, fairy tales have hidden meanings as many writers have explained and what better way to reach/teach the population than by disguising the message in a fairy tale. Certain interests that censor information and manage society are usually indifferent to this genre. (full story)

 The Real Situation in the South China Sea posted by Pepe Escobar via shirl, 2016-07-27 23:50:22
The South China Sea is and will continue to be the ultimate geopolitical flashpoint of the young 21st century – way ahead of the Middle East or Russia’s western borderlands. No less than the future of Asia – as well as the East-West balance of power – is at stake. (full story)
