Assange's WT -- failure to address core issues posted by xerces, 2012-04-25 22:12:38
Assange's inept ability as a journalist was clearly evident in his last show (linked) but what is worse is confirmation of what many people suspected all along regarding a character who receives SUSTAINED, global mainstream press coverage. We should not forget that the corporate press portrayed Assange as a highly intelligent 'gifted hacker' -- however, no evidence verifying those claims has been forthcoming to date. (full story)

The new face of terrorism And its come to this: the authoritarian lunacy of procedural America posted by ned, 2012-04-25 20:51:52
When common sense and humanity are abandoned for the sake of procedural madness society enters the realm of the irrational and entropic. The question is not whether insane ruling elites are fit to manage, quite clearly they are not, the question is to what depths of depravity and IRRATIONALITY does society reach before the population acts to remedy the situation?

I hadn’t thought about it before, a reader brought it to my attention.

I am a poet and am predisposed to joy, happiness and love – inherent traits in all human beings. But as is so clear today, these (now rare) traits and emotions are fragile and must be nurtured, protected and allowed to reach their full potential and STRENGTH in order to withstand the massive depressing, TOXIC forces of American culture and society – the sickest, most destructive culture that exists on the planet today!

Napoleon Bonaparte Stand Corrected, Napoleon! posted by cid, 2012-04-23 05:41:34
It was Napoleon Bonaparte who famously stated that China was the sleeping giant and to be aware of its inevitable awakening. However, Napoleon's perceptions were limited by the cultural consciousness of his time. China has awakened and is predictably threatening the balance of global power, but what's new? Nations rising and falling is an old story. THE SLEEPING GIANT IS NOT CHINA, but the PEOPLE, the GLOBAL POPULATION is the REAL SLEEPING GIANT today! People everywhere are sick and tired of corrupt governments and elite rule. (full story)

The Circular, Ineffective Discourse of the American Left posted by rad, 2012-04-21 22:55:52
During my university days I learned to emulate my Academic lecturers -- it reduced to stating the obvious in the most tortured, convoluted and obscure language possible. After I became proficient in this retrogressive art I began receiving high grades and so I continued this conscious (but ridiculous) process until I graduated -- after which time I quickly abandoned this absurd practice.
