 Screaming Hypocrisy! What’s new, America?
grae, Tuesday, Nov 2 2010, 8:21pm
Murdoch’s Wall Street Journal recently reported that CORPORATE PUPPET, Barack Obama, is “considering” using CIA assassination squads to track down and summarily execute/MURDER suspected enemies in Yemen, which US (propaganda) media has labelled as ‘terrorists’ – a term the USA refuses to define or ratify under a universal UN auspice. The reason for this refusal is OBVIOUS, regardless of any sane definition the USA would then clearly be identifiable as the world’s leading terrorist State! This latest report furnishes further evidence of that FACT! (story and 1 comment and 1 image)

Strawman Politics -- The Phantom Left
Chris Hedges via fleet, Tuesday, Nov 2 2010, 9:16am
The American left is a phantom. It is conjured up by the right wing to tag Barack Obama as a socialist and used by the liberal class to justify its complacency and lethargy. It diverts attention from corporate power. It perpetuates the myth of a democratic system that is influenced by the votes of citizens, political platforms and the work of legislators. It keeps the world neatly divided into a left and a right. The phantom left functions as a convenient scapegoat. The right wing blames it for moral degeneration and fiscal chaos. The liberal class uses it to call for “moderation.” And while we waste our time talking nonsense, the engines of corporate power—masked, ruthless and unexamined—happily devour the state.

 ‘FRAGO 2[4]2’
gan, Monday, Nov 1 2010, 7:27pm
Why isn‘t the entire American population outraged or openly deriding puppet Obama and his generals? Why aren’t commentators scoffing at the nation’s leaders’ departure into extreme fantasy -- what does it take for the American people to see reality/reason?

Chemical Companies, Monsanto/GM Crops Threaten Eco Collapse
Jerome Taylor via nann, Friday, Oct 29 2010, 7:59pm
First the bees now bats have succumbed to the horrors of pollution and genetic tampering with our food crops. Nevertheless, we allow Monsanto and a host of Chemical Corporations to continue to turn a profit!
The typically short term 'solution' Corporations are pursuing is to purchase unpolluted and untampered with arable land offshore in poorer nations and other food producing nations stupid enough (Australia) to surrender their prized fertile lands to Transnational Corporations -- that, by nature, would eventually see all viable ecologies replicating the destruction which is occurring in the USA.

Iraq/Afghan War Veterans Support WikiLeaks
baz, Wednesday, Oct 27 2010, 7:41am
The soldier fighting the (dirty) war on the ground is a far more reliable witness to war than the lying Politicians and Corporate elitists that placed him/her in the line of fire. Veterans of the Iraq and Afghan wars have come out in support of WikiLeaks, while the rabid political right demands that founder member, Julian Assange, is apprehended and packed off to Guantanamo Bay for informing the public of the war crimes and atrocities the US was witness and/or party to! Fortunately, the demented demand to arrest and incarcerate Assange vindicates WikiLeaks’ actions; what utter lunacy lies behind a demand to arrest a man for exposing war criminals?

Proof Irrefutable -- the USA is World’s Leading Terrorist Nation
quill, Sunday, Oct 24 2010, 9:47pm
The latest revelations from WikiLeaks are an anti-climax of sorts as all the crimes, now minutely detailed, have been known for decades. It was all in the public domain prior to Mr Assange spotlighting what the U.S. has been at pains to keep in the shadows since it embarked on its criminal mission broadly outlined in the PNAC document.

Perforating Media Propaganda
stan, Saturday, Oct 23 2010, 7:39pm
Sustaining and promulgating LIES is a very tiresome, expensive, involved and cumbersome business for the Corporate media; but exposing mindless spin, obfuscations and subterfuges is as simple as asking the OBVIOUS question: what would YOU do if a foreign power invaded your homeland killed family members (innocent civilians) and attempted to appropriate your nation’s resource wealth? Two answers immediately present themselves, FIGHT to restore your nation’s sovereignty or COWER and accept slavery under foreign rule – what is YOUR answer? (story and 1 comment)

Or more accurately, to allow further intrusions on public privacy by increasing domestic surveillance and cyber monitoring/censorship policies at the direct behest of the real Oz government in Washington – now choke on the truth you pathetic, inept, corporate-loving, traitorous dimwits!

Australia’s Pathetic, Servile Politicians
dasha, Tuesday, Oct 19 2010, 10:31am
Reminiscent of her meaning-devoid, abortive election slogan, “moving Australia forward,” the Washington controlled Australian Prime Minister, Julia Gillard, has just dropped another meaningless American slogan onto a very aware Oz public, “Australia will not abandon Afghanistan.” In view of the FACT the majority of Aussies OPPOSE the war and that Afghanis desire to be FREE of all plundering, civilian killing foreign invaders, it defies reason that this servile, cat-howling fishwife – masquerading as our leader -- would attempt to insult the Oz public with more moronic American slogans!

The Global Crisis, The Role and Meaning of Art in Society
Caoimhghin Ó Croidheáin via gan, Sunday, Oct 17 2010, 6:27pm
As the current world economic crisis deepens, the role and meaning of art in society changes as more and more people are dragged down by the weight of personal debt, unemployment and poverty. Galleries close and less people can afford to buy art creating a new awareness among artists of the fragility of the art market and the economic system behind it that creates an increasingly alienated and elitist exclusivism.

BOYCOTT Murdoch’s News Ltd
bluey, Saturday, Oct 16 2010, 10:28pm
People often ask what they can do to stop the current social malaise being spread by the likes of scoundrels like Aussie Rupert Murdoch and his ilk in the Council for Foreign Relations. Murdoch’s Fox ‘news’ has become the most extreme example of a hate medium that exits today. It flagrantly promotes violence, social division and by implication, mass murder and homicide – we easily recall its primary role in promoting the illegal invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan -- and the civilian holocaust that followed. Put simply, Rupert Murdoch is a war criminal on par if not worse than the infamous Nazi propaganda minister, Joseph Goebbels! (story and 1 comment)
