 Europeans Balk at Their Role in NATO posted by Marti Hiken via reed, 2011-06-19 02:28:31
Robert Gates’ recent public diatribe against the 28 members of NATO (1) who are “consuming security and not producing it,” and not doing their fair share in the bloody fighting, is either a warning or harbinger that the relationship between the U.S. and the European nations is changing. European nations are refusing to participate in America’s wars, and the U.S. doesn’t like it. (full story)

America Doesn’t Commit War Crimes it Commits Euphemisms posted by beau, 2011-06-17 22:10:04
Allow me to introduce myself, my name is very bad grammar and tortured English. I am American! Proud to call the loss of personal Freedom and Liberty, ‘Homeland Security;’ very proud to participate in the ‘Patriot Act’ and wave our blood-soaked star-spangled banner at every Illegal war we wage; prouder still to refer to the millions of civilians we have murdered in Korea, Indo-China, Central Asia and Africa, as ‘Collateral Damage;’ extremely proud of our legal system which maintains its integrity by allowing our agencies and military to ‘Waterboard’ instead of Torture; and very tolerant of strangers touching my genitals in order to ‘Keep me Safe.’ Perhaps I could sum it all up by simply stating we live in our own private asylum for the criminally insane called the United States of America!

 Equal Opportunity alive and well in NSW Police posted by staff report via stele, 2011-06-17 03:19:37
Not to be outdone by the yobbo blokes, a female pig has been arrested after openly pissing on Central Sydney’s Hyde Park War Memorial – well, when you’re blind drunk and ya gotta go, ya just gotta go, so why not make an anti-war statement in the process?
Regardless of her very predictable defence, Hyde Park abounds in trees located away from the busy pedestrian walkway around the War Memorial and the gaze of private security guards. Silly little drunken piglet! (full story)

 Lulzsec Hacks Downunder posted by Natalie Apostolou via Kismo, 2011-06-17 00:47:04
Recent hacks around the 'globe' (space is irrelevant) are designed to demonstrate a few digital REALITIES to the WORLD, not least of which is the MYTH that western governments are in control; that 'your' governments are protecting you etc, etc; nothing could be further from the TRUTH as the recent Hacks on the CIA and other MEGA Corporations (that spare no expense to safeguard their data) clearly demonstrate!

OWNED: CIA Web site hacked, group LulzSec takes credit posted by Ellen Nakashima via Kismo, 2011-06-15 22:24:07
The hacker group LulzSec claimed credit Wednesday for taking down the CIA’s Web site for a couple of hours, the latest in a string of embarrassing Web site disruptions the group has pulled off — apparently more to poke fun and highlight vulnerabilities than to cause real damage. (full story)

Juliar Gillard, ‘bule kesasar’ – White European Lost in the Jungle posted by bluey, 2011-06-15 21:44:15
The grossly incompetent and ridiculously out of touch Gillard Labor Government has just been trounced by Parliament for yet another INADEQUATE, knee-jerk plan to establish offshore refugee clearing centres in Malaysia; a PRIMITIVE MUSLIM NATION KNOWN INTERNATIONALLY FOR ITS BARBARITY. So I chose a denigrating bahasa Malay/Indonesian expression in the title that ACCURATELY describes Gillard and her completely out of touch, LOST government. (full story and 1 comments)

 'Tracebook' denies Users Leaving in Droves posted by staff report via reed, 2011-06-15 00:00:56
Favourite police and agency resource, Facebook, recently denied losing users though the stats would indicate otherwise. It seems the alienated, lost generation has finally become disillusioned with their 'digital friends' and a company that refuses to delete sensitive data at the request of the user!
Collecting highly personal and detailed profiling data was not enough for this intrusive company. Facebook has now included a Big Brother type digital face recognition 'feature' which would allow authorities to detect you in a crowd with street cameras, should the (future) occasion arise!
Wake up, you LOST, lonely, morons! (full story)

While people suffer oppressive debt and ever increasing taxes, Banking and Financial elites OPENLY engage in criminal activity -- how does it feel, suckers?

 Washington Darling Silvio Berlusconi gets a taste of REAL Democracy posted by dasha, 2011-06-14 09:57:13
Former media magnate and temporary Prime Minister of Italy, Silvio Berlusconi, has been jerked back to reality with an overwhelming defeat; though the issue related to nuclear energy, the PEOPLE expressed more than that issue required. Clearly THE MAJORITY of Europeans have had enough of corrupt, elitist government and MASS MEDIA DECEPTION, Berlusconi’s speciality! Analysts are now pondering the ramifications for other European lackey leaders, Papandreou, Sarkozy, Cameron, Merkel and a host of newly corrupted East European puppets that toe Washington’s DEEPLY UNPOPULAR, permanent war, civilian killing (and via its IMF and World Bank) AUSTERITY, line!

'Internet in a Suitcase' posted by nano, 2011-06-13 11:03:34
The trillions in DEBT Obama administration has just spent more money it doesn’t have (over $50m) – keep printing Ben -- in a desperate bid to maintain its version of reality in nations that wish to preserve their cultural integrity. A portable peer (with satellite link) communications apparatus, dubbed, “internet in a suitcase,” is being developed by misguided enthusiasts and techno freaks for LYING, criminal American agencies and the Pentagon mis/disinformation arm – I would certainly think twice before assisting KNOWN civilian killing criminal governments regardless of the amount of toilet paper money offered.

 90% of General Petraeus' Captured 'Taliban' Were Civilians! posted by Gareth Porter via gan, 2011-06-12 23:58:53
There is no avoiding the HARSH reality today that American military personnel are uniformed mercenaries fighting illegal, civilian killing, Corporate wars against people who want nothing more than to be rid of all murdering foreign invaders and occupiers.
From the Balkans to Libya the Corporate mass media's LIES have become transparent and the war crimes obvious; "humanitarian/terrorist," pretexts exposed!
ALL the wars that rage today are fought in the CRIMINAL INTERESTS of Central Reserve Banking and Transnational Corporations -- plain to see!
The vile, mass murdering, criminal filth behind these NEEDLESS wars are known to us all; they deserve the harshest penalties available under the LAW for their complicity in the most heinous crimes committed this century and for the mass deception their media attempted on the WORLD'S MORAL MAJORITY!

 How Banks Create and Destroy Money posted by Robert Bonomo via stan, 2011-06-12 10:42:13
The mechanics of modern banking are opaque, misunderstood and arguably dishonest. Modern fiat money, the dollar, euro, yen etc are all based on debt. For every dollar in existence, there is somewhere an IOU for the same amount. This is best illustrated with an example of a typical mortgage. (full story and 1 comments)
