 Global Food Insecurity spawns ...
Thandi Winston via quill, Thursday, Feb 10 2011, 6:54am
DAKAR, Feb 9 (TerraViva) – Some are calling it the second scramble for Africa – the growing appetite of external interests in securing huge tracts of land in Africa, displacing the small-scale farmers who form the backbone of the continent’s own food security.The issue has been one of the main talking points at this year’s World Social Forum. And whilst there are no immediate answers, activists are warning about its effects on African people’s livelihoods and food security.

The USA is only succeeding in ‘locking down’ its OWN population
stan, Wednesday, Feb 9 2011, 9:01pm
Popular Arab revolts demonstrate clearly that the hold the USA once had on the crucial Middle East and North Africa is (rapidly) WEAKENING. The same could also be said for other interfered with territories, especially stolen Balkan provinces, which could be returned to their rightful, sovereign owners ‘overnight!’ (story and 1 comment)

 Assange faces wrath of "man-hating" Swedish ‘dyke’ in Extradition Case
nano, Monday, Feb 7 2011, 9:27pm
According to retired Swedish (female) appeals court judge, Brita Sundberg-Weitman, the chief Swedish prosecutor in the Assange extradition case, Marianne Ny, is a classic "man-hating" ‘dyke,’ or to use the muted language of the legal profession, [possesses] a “rather biased … malicious … view against men". Quite possible, but something that all sexually active Aussie males should be entirely familiar with! (story and 1 comment and 1 image)

Lawyer on the Run from Filesharing Fiasco
Kismo, Sunday, Feb 6 2011, 7:59pm
A scumbag LAWYER that engaged in the morally questionable and dubious practice of "speculative invoicing” – making accusations and demanding monies WITHOUT PROOF of violation – has ‘thrown his company against the wall’ and run from the wrath and legal litigation that his false accusations have created; we are all aware of the outrage experienced when we are falsely accused!

Egypt Teeters
jalal, Saturday, Feb 5 2011, 7:46pm
Despite all the machinations of the CIA/Washington and the cooperation of a thoroughly corrupt Egyptian leadership – which includes ‘Mubarak appointee,’ to vice-president, Omar Suleiman, head of the Egyptian Secret Service, known internationally as an arm of the TORTURING, ‘RENDERING,’ CRIMINAL CIA -- the FATE of the Nation rests wholly in the hands of the people, as is the case with ALL Arabic speaking NATIONS.

Gillard does a 'Pontius' on Assange
bluey, Thursday, Feb 3 2011, 11:39pm
In response to Julian Assange’s plea to return safely home to Oz – ya gotta Luv this place and hate its spineless pollies – Oz PM, Gillard, true to form, did a ‘Pontius Pilate’ on Assange; and please, I’m not making any connection whatsoever between a martini-drinking, 40yo mamma’s boy and media glamour boy, and mythic hero/social reformer, Jimmy Jesus Christ!

WikiLeaks: US Threatened China over Space Weapons Tests
baz, Thursday, Feb 3 2011, 9:07pm
WikiLeaks revealed that the USA threatened China over space missile tests following its ground to space missile launch in 2007. The interesting aspect of the cable is how the US immediately rushed to inform its puppet allies, most of which are incapable of waging sophisticated nuclear warfare. (story and 1 comment)

Headline of the Century
Chris McGreal via stylus, Tuesday, Feb 1 2011, 9:32pm
If you had doubts and required additional PROOF that WORLD governments have been HIJACKED by a cooperating cabal of CRIMINALS and LUNATICS, then choke on this story from The Guardian UK. It DAMNS not only Mubarak but Blair, his coalition of WILLING CRIMINALS, Bush, Howard and every other puppet politician alive today -- you reading this Obama, you despicable, tap-dancing, CRIMINAL FRAUD?
The PEOPLE will have their day of JUSTICE -- the haunting screams of MILLIONS of murdered and tortured CIVILIANS demand it! (story and 2 images)

Mid-East Dominos Falling-- protests hit Jordan
quill, Tuesday, Feb 1 2011, 8:22am
Jordan’s pro-American monarch feigns reform and replaces PM following street protests. Meanwhile Saudi Royalty and other US-bought Arab ruling elites are shitting their American supplied underwear. But the penny hasn’t dropped yet! The WORLD HAS HAD ENOUGH OF AMERICAN INTERFERENCE, BRUTALITY and HYPOCRISY. The sooner NON-REPRESENTATIVE, failing governments comprehend this REALITY the easier it will be for them and the masses; voluntary resignations are certainly preferable to the hangman’s rope.

Egypt: Indefinite general strike and 'million man march' planned
staff report via gan, Monday, Jan 31 2011, 7:03am
It seems embattled puppet dictator, Mubarak, has angered Washington, as protest leaders are supported and sanctioned by the USA. An unpopular American puppet dictator has no chance without the support of Washington or the people. Let's hope the Egyptian people are aware of the machinations of the CIA and Washington and another US lackey is NOT installed as new leader! (story and 2 comments)

Fierce Female Deities
sadh, Monday, Jan 31 2011, 12:08am
Symbolism is universal language and serves to preserve hidden messages from the polluting reach of the profane that would otherwise desecrate intended meaning to suit their own purposes or particular agendas, much as the Nicean Council did with early Christian texts. According to the correspondence of the early Church Fathers, over 200 Gospels were in existence prior to the editing and burning of precious texts by the Nicean Council in 350 AD.
Today Christianity has but four Gospels, though others, which have lain buried for centuries, have recently been re-discovered. I therefore look to the ancient, respectful cultures of the EAST for valuable and hidden knowledge encoded in their symbolic, religious Art. (story and 2 comments and 4 images)

Egypt, the Middle East -- SEIZE THE INITIATIVE
jalal, Saturday, Jan 29 2011, 7:03pm
IT MATTERS NOT who or what triggered the revolts and social uprisings in North Africa and Egypt. Mobilised masses are easily turned by those forces that best serve their interests. Freedom from oppression is LONG OVERDUE in the Middle East; it is irrelevant whether or not the US instigated another of its clandestine social revolutions THIS TIME SEIZE THE INITIATIVE and LEAD the MASSES to FREEDOM from ALL OPPRESSION – no more substitute leaderships feigning liberation!

The Massive Global Political Awakening

I can scarcely believe I (we) somehow overlooked an article by Zbigniew Brzezinski in the NYT when it first appeared in 2008. Brzezinski is arguably the leading geopolitical strategist and policy influencer for the now bereft of positive solutions and rapidly unravelling ruling financial elites. (story and 1 image)

A Tempting Target -- World’s Filthy Rich to meet at Davos
fleet, Wednesday, Jan 26 2011, 10:34pm
According to Forbes, the world’s wealthiest ‘criminals’ (there is no other way to accrue such vast amounts of money) are soon to have their regular gathering at Davos, Switzerland. [“It may well be the greatest concentration of wealth in any one place,” is how Forbes reporter, Luisa Kroll, describes the ‘gathering.’]
It was all I could do to refrain from contacting some Air Force buddies to see what they could do with one well placed missile! There is no doubt that this confab of parasitic scum presents, in today’s world, as an extremely tempting target for the oppressed starving masses and freedom loving people everywhere – I wonder what the starving and EXPLOITED are doing while these parasites discuss various means to enhance their already OBSCENE wealth and the power it affords them?
