  Oz Labor Party Suicides posted by cyd, 2012-02-25 07:52:17
It is fitting that the clearly dysfunctional Labor Party of Australia is completely demolished from within by its last two leaders. The problem is not human frailty, though that is not in short supply in Labor ranks, but with an antiquated model that allows unrepresentative elements and factions to control the entire ship of insular fools -- and yes, how appropriate it is that the last two extremely flawed leaders close the curtain on Labor's future political viability for decades to come.

 The Broader Implications of the Bradley Manning Case posted by staff report via stan, 2012-02-24 11:03:53
It should be noted at the outset that INVERTING JUSTICE and the moral right with these kangaroo proceedings against brave, homosexual whistleblower, Bradley Manning, will not 'cut-it' in ANY future historical context -- the case should actually be against the US military for civilian killing and other war crimes, which Manning exposed to the WORLD in the hope that the MORAL MAJORITY would be outraged and DEMAND action against the clearly criminally corrupt (Haditha massacre etc) US military! But alas the US population is a DEAD, paralysed, MORAL LOSS; as is, it seems, the entire FREE WORLD and that is THE major disappointment of this case. (full story)

 Lost Perspectives on Food and Eating posted by sal, 2012-02-24 05:35:07
It is extremely interesting to analyse how modern eating habits are 'created' and governed by certain forces, marketing/advertising and food 'experts'. The following highly enlightening and informative video on Food consumption and 'nutrition' in the modern era is highly recommended. Free yourselves from the tyranny of false authorities on food and nutrition. (full story)

Bradley Manning's WikiLeaks arraignment scheduled today posted by staff report via gan, 2012-02-23 09:36:22
"If Manning had been a member of the U.S. Marine squad that admitted to systematically murdering two dozen innocent Iraqi men, women, and children in Haditha, Iraq, he'd be walking free today," Obuszewski said in a release. "Instead, he faces the real prospect of life in prison for telling the truth." -- The Baltimore Sun (full story and 1 comments)

America's Bought Allies Take Note! posted by krill, 2012-02-23 07:01:30
This applies to all standing corrupt governments that have taken the money and pocketed it for themselves. It especially applies to vassal states Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Kosovo, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Pakistan, Italy, Greece, Spain, Portugal, Ireland and other conquered states and territories. The corrupt servile leaders of these States are hereby openly informed that you serve a nation that espouses and PURSUES a doctrine of PERMANENT WAR and INDEFINITE DETENTION without trial or charge, which effectively crucifies PEACE and deprives humanity of the most basic human rights! As such you share criminal responsibility in the MANY HEINOUS WAR and other CRIMES against humanity your Washington and Wall Street masters have committed and continue to commit daily.

  The CIA’s links to Wall Street posted by Mark Gaffney via stele, 2012-02-22 22:44:23
One of the most successful frauds ever perpetrated upon the American people is the notion that the CIA exists to provide intelligence to the president. In fact, the CIA’s intimate links to Wall Street strongly suggest that the CIA was created to serve the perceived interests of investment bankers. The well documented links to Wall Street can be traced to the founding of the agency. (full story)

Has EVERYONE in the Australian Labor Party taken leave of their senses?

It's About Priorities posted by eve, 2012-02-21 20:51:17
War is NOT a priority, what is it good for, NOTHIN' ?
It serves minority criminal elites ONLY, at great cost to the planet and innocent human lives. It is TIME the people of the GLOBE learned that UNITY and friendly relations offer the only hope for future survival. AMERICA'S insatiable greed, permanent war doctrine and divisive ways are anathema to every living thing in this UNIVERSE -- make NO mistake, the plague on the planet that is indefinite detention, civilian killing, AMERICA must be ELIMINATED if the world hopes to live in peace, freedom and harmony.

 Huge Turnout as Spaniards Protest Stripping of Labor Rights posted by staff report via gan, 2012-02-20 07:39:21
Reminiscent of the half-million souls that turned out in LA protesting immigration laws some years back, Spaniards took to the streets across Spain in numbers that approached one million. These protests were/are designed to remind elite powers that everything was built on the backs of workers and not to take the masses for granted. (full story)

 Acts of Love posted by Chris Hedges via ryall, 2012-02-20 06:49:18
Love, the deepest human commitment, the force that defies empirical examination and yet is the defining and most glorious element in human life, the love between two people, between children and parents, between friends, between partners, reminds us of why we have been created for our brief sojourns on the planet. Those who cannot love—and I have seen these deformed human beings in the wars and conflicts I covered—are spiritually and emotionally dead. They affirm themselves through destruction, first of others and then, finally, of themselves. Those incapable of love [have] never lived. (full story)

 Prelude to Release of Lab-mutated 'Armageddon' Virus posted by typhoid tom, 2012-02-19 23:55:52
If two previous exposed attempts to create a deadly GLOBAL pandemic with lab-tweaked viruses over the past decade hadn't failed and received so much media attention this latest lab-created mutation of the bird flu virus -- easily infecting humans -- wouldn't have attracted my attention. However, we must ask why so much energy and funds have been directed toward creating this "Armageddon virus," as is it popularly known, in the first instance? It is plain to see that certain sick bastards are ready to release this man-made plague on humanity, probably this year. (full story)
