Great choice, Oz! posted by stele, 2010-05-16 20:46:15
The Murdoch, Stokes and other mass media organisations in Oz are exercising their influence on the masses by offering THEIR alternatives to the now fully exposed (popularity trashed) POLICY FAILED, narcissistic PM, Kevin ‘show pony’ Rudd; who imagined that managing a nation amounted to slavishly following Washington in unwinnable wars, serving Wall St, the RBA and other unrepresentative minority interests.

Barack Obama To Catch a Psychopath posted by Captain, 2010-05-13 09:48:57
Catching psychopaths requires not only the ability to ‘think’ like a psychopath but also the ability to behave as one – being careful to direct all such behaviours to psychopaths only! Unfortunately there are no other effective means by which to apprehend, contain or ‘nail’ these evil criminals. (full story)

By Accident or Design it remains Counter Intelligence posted by stan, 2010-05-12 08:40:12
A vid is doing the rounds on Corporate GOOGLE’S censored Youtube, think about that for a minute! It depicts some fat yank claiming to be a former intelligence agent, blah, blah. Well, they’re a 'dime a dozen' (as the yanks say) over there. Everything this clown is saying is passé, years if not decades old strategies. For the PAST five or more years the hubs have been diligently doing everything this person wants us to do NOW – get it? His discourse is regressive/retrograde, it's designed to reverse current EFFECTIVE trends, which are devastating the criminals in power! (full story)

Bernanke -- suck my dick! Bought American Senators vote down bill to audit the Fed posted by sol, 2010-05-11 21:00:27
The most powerful and secretive PRIVATE BANK in the world has succeeded in defeating a bill that would have REVEALED its monetary dealings – what does this PRIVATE consortium have to hide from the people? There is no doubt whatsoever that FULL DISCLOSURE of monetary policy is required of a BANK that pretends to be a Federal Institution! The private lobbyist coup against an audit becomes yet another nail in the coffin of American democracy. The take-over of American government by PRIVATE CORPORATE interests is almost COMPLETE. The USA is now a CONFIRMED CORPORATE (therefore fascist) STATE – it offers a heinous, criminal track record as proof of the FACT! (full story)

What's in a Word? posted by Pierre Tristam via quill, 2010-05-11 07:03:51
The Pew Research Center for the People and the Press just released a survey testing reactions to political rhetoric—whether people react positively or negatively to words like “progressive” or “socialism” or phrases like “states’ rights” or “civil liberties.” The results were not surprising in some regards. Say the phrases “civil rights,” “civil liberties” and “states’ rights,” and between 87 percent and 77 percent of people respond positively. Even the word “progressive,” which the right-wing machinery on Fox and friends is doing its best to turn into a slander, gets a 68 percent positive response, including 56 percent of Republicans.

Bereft -- General Stanley McChrystal Iraq: an American ‘Success’ Story posted by Al, 2010-05-10 23:45:53
Iraq is an excellent example of American ‘success,’ knowhow and ‘genius,’ is it not? Afghanistan is proving a better example still! These two screaming, REAL LIFE examples of American incompetence, ineptitude, overt flouting of international law and human rights, just won’t fade into the background. Almost daily the newswires contain more horrid examples of civilian killing by Americans and the MASSIVE DESTABILISATION that ensues. The ‘stability, liberty and democracy’ that America promised Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan AND the WORLD, is proving to be a very bitter experience for the innocent civilians of Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan. Take a quick squiz at the REALITY today and VERIFY the truth for yourself. (full story and 3 comments)
