  Battle for the Mind - loss of Focus today equals loss of Freedom posted by will, 2012-05-17 22:47:03
I am constantly reminded of the deteriorating mental condition of the moronic masses and their postage stamp attention spans these days. The major issues and crimes of our time have almost become footnotes in the mass media while prurient or hollow stories steal the attention of the morons. It is well that we remember that there is a price for everything and that "the price of ignorance is slavery!" (full story)

 A 12yo explains modern Reserve Banking posted by stele, 2012-05-17 09:02:31
Though the video relates to Canada, it applies to any nation that is part of the global Reserve Banking system. Australia also had a national people's Bank, the appropriately named 'Commonwealth Bank' -- which was PRIVATISED by Labor Prime Minister, Paul Keating, who also dutifully floated our sovereign currency on Wall Street, thereby enslaving the nation to FOREIGN Big money interests!

Russia and China Squeal in Pain ... posted by Nile Bowie via baz, 2012-05-16 23:56:12
Absolutely no apologies for the gross metaphor but what does it take to get a decisive reaction from Russia and China -- if indeed these two COWERING 'superpowers' are capable of reacting at all? (full story)

 Chávez's economics lesson for Europe posted by Richard Gott via stan, 2012-05-16 09:00:46
Prior to venturing into another philosophically locked article I would mention for those few who may be unaware that Karl Marx was a materialist and an economist! So he offered no real alternative to economics obsessed capitalists. Moving the ball from the forward line to the back line does not change the game or the rules -- as is painfully EVIDENT today.
Enjoy the read but do not forget that neither the 'Left or the 'Right' have any real solutions outside the cause of all the world's problems -- materialist ECONOMICS! (full story and 1 comments)

 "A just republic for all, Aboriginal sovereignty now" posted by staff report via jarra, 2012-05-15 23:03:19
Indigenous Australians seeking sovereign recognition [for two hundred years] have been forcibly removed from their protest site in Brisbane Australia. Onlookers witnessed heavy handed police state tactics with over 200 police deployed to remove a relatively small number of protesters. However, racist and socially backward Queensland, is known nationwide for its fascist police force and their numerous appearances in Court for murdering blacks and other citizens -- an Italian Australian was fatally Tasered 28 times by Queensland police!

 Corporatists set Agenda and Policy regardless of who 'wins!' posted by Jeff, 2012-05-15 10:28:25
Has America altered course since Bill Clinton occupied the White House and illegally bombed the Balkans, or has fundamental US policy changed? The answer to both questions is, NO! So why all the media ballyhoo over FAKE elections or the 'race' by two owned puppets for the White House? Both major parties are clearly owned and managed by the same Wall St Corporate/Banker interests? Yet the media -- including the so-called alternative media -- is covering events as though a real democratic process was playing out or that real political options existed.

Plume-gate: Secret documents prove Fukushima Radiation Disaster posted by Ethan A. Huff via sal, 2012-05-14 23:36:33
A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request filed by Friends of the Earth (FoE), Physicians for Social Responsibility (PSR), and the Nuclear Information and Resource Center (NIRS) has unearthed a shocking series of new evidence proving a deliberate, global cover-up of the true severity of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster.

 Resist or Die! posted by Prof. Peter Phillips via stan, 2012-05-14 22:39:51
Runaway Corporatism is moving relentlessly towards sociopolitical-environmental collapse—cheered on by an owned two-headed single party machine known as US Congress. Activists, who see the coming disasters as catastrophic, are seeking revolutionary change through non-cooperation, and occupy disruptions. Yet, many are the still delusional hopefuls desperately fumbling with traditional responses; including "Kum ba yah" marches, and the futile support for progressive left-leaning candidates seeking positions of influence inside the Washington beltway.

 'Crapoganda' Extravaganza of Iran's Nuclear Program posted by Nima Shirazi via stele, 2012-05-14 21:54:51
Coining new terms to more accurately describe things is part of the living evolution of language -- "Crapoganda" aptly describes not only the specific instance here described but also 100% of the material that flows like sewage from the Corporate mass media. We thank whoever coined this new term, and we wish it every success in becoming a common, everyday part of modern parlance. (full story)
