  Global Resource Wars: US vs China posted by darcy, 2011-10-18 22:49:04
While the Corporate media DISTRACTS with non-issue news like the DO-NOTHING ‘Occupy’ spectacle, some correspondents are covering REAL news stories; I am referring to the American confrontation with China and the neo-colonial US push for African resources in nations where China has billions already invested -- America/NATO has recently demonstrated in Libya it respects no Chinese claims, investments or established business arrangements, regardless of all the lies and false promises given to Beijing.

We KNOW EXACTLY who you are, you are the moronic masses, the 99%. Traditional cannon and factory fodder, slaves earning a pittance and working for elites, as you have always done. Be content with your lot, you have proven you prefer to be subjected and ruled rather than free, you pathetic beasts of burden. (full story)

 Solution to the Impending Banking Crisis posted by tyco, 2011-10-17 23:29:37
Wake up, the banks are broke, INSOLVENT and ready to fall hard. First Europe then the US, Asia and the rest -- the global Reserve Banking System has FAILED. [In reality the Reserve Banking Cartel created the crisis via its financial (non-productive) profiteering and FRAUD. It bled the global coffers dry and now it (very temporarily) sustains itself on printing toilet paper money -- LUDICROUS! (full story and 2 comments)

 Parroting speakers is moronic, 'Occupy!' posted by lance, 2011-10-17 11:45:31
Whatever noble sentiment in the 'Occupy' movement manifests itself as a crowd mindlessly repeating/parroting the words of a speaker, one thing is clear, it does NOT represent 'participatory' or 'direct' Democracy; however, it does present as the most moronic form of subservience and mindless slavery witnessed in recent times -- wake up, 'Occupy,' and dispense with this demeaning, IDIOTIC and MORONIC habit!

Ruling Elites, Executives and other social Parasites begin to worry as Protest movement goes GLOBAL posted by quin, 2011-10-15 21:56:01
The KNOWN parasitic filth that exploits the masses, the environment – everything -- and drags entire nations into needless wars on FALSE pretences and LIES; that pollutes the environment and destroys everything it touches in order to turn a financial PROFIT, is beginning to worry! Their corporate mass media is attempting to manage public perceptions yet again. All manner of deflections and evasions are today evident in the reporting of the GLOBAL protests against self-serving, CRIMINAL Banker, Executive and minority ruling elites.

Which nation will be the first to Hang a criminal Banker? posted by noose, 2011-10-15 13:07:06
I could tell you the last though it should be the first -- America!
Global solidarity with the NY 'Occupy' movement drew tens of thousands of 'indignants' onto the streets in Rome; acutely aware of who is responsible for all the economic ills and illegal wars, Italian demonstrators were unable to contain their frustration and began rioting, breaking bank windows and torching a few cars. These actions were a CLEAR signal warning that Europeans, unlike whipped-dog, passive Americans, have had it up to their throats with the criminal, Executive, Corporatist, Banker elites.

 Your Brain on Meditation posted by Andrew Rader via stylus, 2011-10-15 10:28:33
"There's a common misunderstanding among all the human beings who have ever been born on the Earth that the best way to live is to try to avoid pain and just try to get comfortable. You can see this even in insects and animals and birds. All of us are the same. A much more interesting, kind, adventurous and joyful approach to life is to begin to develop our curiosity, not caring whether the object of our inquisitiveness is bitter or sweet. To lead a life that goes beyond pettiness and prejudice and always wanting to make sure that everything turns out on our own terms, to lead a more passionate, full and delightful life than that, we must realize that we can endure a lot of pain and pleasure for the sake of finding out who we are and what this world is, how we tick and how our world ticks, how the whole thing just is." - Pema Chodron (full story)

Ongoing GLOBAL Economic Crisis -- Unpayable debt and insolvency in Europe posted by Bob Chapman via stan, 2011-10-15 09:42:06
The big question is will Greece succumb to insolvency in November? Our answer is probably not. It should take 3 to 6 months but it is coming no matter how much money and credit is thrown at the problem. The markets on the short-term basis believe it is a coin toss. If the funds are not forthcoming you could see a 60-80 percent haircut on bond losses. If it is 3 to 6 months it will probably be 100%. Many in Europe believe the Merkel-Sarkozy team has a plan that will work, but as yet we do not know what that plan is. In spite of that the euro this past week rallied from $1.32 to $1.38 as the US dollar fell lower. (full story)

How to Identify a REAL Protest Movement from a Fake posted by watson, 2011-10-15 02:20:32
Protest Movements by definition M-O-V-E in clearly defined directions with clearly outlined OBJECTIVES -- propelled of course by clearly defined strategies/plans on how to achieve those objectives.
Regardless of the degree of initial social impact, real protest movements are nevertheless easily recognisable as effectively OPPOSING existing political groups, institutions and ideologies -- they are effective from the start by virtue of the fact they ENGAGE in ACTIVE physical and/or ideological RESISTANCE, opposition/conflict with perceived adversarial political structures/systems or organisations. Encounters between oppositional forces produce unmistakable results -- refer to the historical record for verification. (full story and 1 comments)

 Occupy the GLOBE! posted by nano, 2011-10-13 10:39:06
The greatest advantage of leaderless, decentralised, open movements is that they are able to spread much faster than organised, structured movements. All nations and all cultures are connected DIGITALLY, the cyber world is borderless and universal by DEFAULT – unhampered by formulated restrictions and structures it becomes the perfect medium for a borderless, global revolution/movement. People everywhere are able to target a KNOWN, COMMON, GLOBAL ENEMY, Transnational Corporatists and Banksters! Today, these criminal elites rule the world via governments they have bought and thoroughly corrupted. For example, in the past 48 hours the Australian government, AGAINST the WILL of over 60% of the population, LEGISLATED (legally imposed) a Carbon PENALTY economy on the nation for the benefit of Bankers and to the disadvantage of almost everyone else – OUTRAGEOUS!

  Could the ‘Occupy’ movement be the first Matrix, “there is no spoon,” Revolution? posted by neo, 2011-10-11 02:10:59
Nation wide ‘Occupy’ protests are now characterised by their inability to articulate anything coherent. Like all idealists, protesters imagine just “being there” will accomplish their unarticulated objectives – oops, I forgot, they have no defined objectives! Nevertheless, somehow these unarticulated, undefined objectives will be realised – “the power of ONE” will get them through. Where to you may well ask, I’m not ordering lunch at the moment!

Computer Virus Hits U.S. Drone Fleet posted by Noah Shachtman via Kismo, 2011-10-10 07:53:30
A computer virus has infected the cockpits of America’s Predator and Reaper drones, logging pilots’ every keystroke as they remotely fly missions over Afghanistan and other warzones. [Really! Editorial advice is the story is not to be taken at face value; "Wired" is a suss source, as verified with the Lamo, Assange and Bradley Manning affair. Technically speaking, it is well known that all remote control computer systems are subject to hacker intervention, though in this instance we doubt authenticity. Most sustained attacks are directed at high yield/reward military satellite systems. Nevertheless, if such a breach has occurred it would be more the result of USAF ineptitudes rather than external hacker skills. The USA continues to trail most nations in the field of Cyber warfare -- closing wide IT gaps in expertise is almost impossible.] (full story)
