 HOW TO Subjugate American Youth
Bruce E. Levine via reed, Thursday, Aug 4 2011, 1:18am
Elites learned their tricks in the 50's and 60's, decades known for anti-establishment activity and rebellion. Never again would minority ruling elites allow their media to foment protests and tell the TRUTH/story as it is! Two primary methods of social control were implemented after the massive protest movements of the 60's -- DEBT SLAVERY and media 'PERCEPTION MANAGEMENT' or propaganda to use the traditional term.

US Corporate Profits surge, as [our] Economy slows
Alexander Osipovich via fleet, Tuesday, Aug 2 2011, 9:51am
Yes, Jethro, there really are 2 economies -- one booming economy for Bankers and Corporatists and the other stagnating economy for the shit-eating public! Today's 'Economy' now emulates the Legal/Judicial system; the rich and powerful rarely face justice while teenage pot smokers and citizens on misdemeanour charges could end up with 20 year jail sentences!

 The Reality behind Debt Ceiling Theatrics
sam, Monday, Aug 1 2011, 11:25am
America prints and controls the flow of the world’s reserve currency, the greenback. Until such time as another world currency, or weighted ‘unit’ from 5 leading nations, replaces the greenback as reserve, America is able to play economic God or vandal with the rest of the WORLD. How foolish the international community is for allowing any single nation to control the global economy in this way. (story and 3 comments and 1 image)

Ecstatic Poetry
Mirabai via Zi, Sunday, Jul 31 2011, 2:48am
All mystic poets regardless of culture, time or gender deliver the same message and speak the same timeless, universal 'language.'
I have rendered two of Mirabai's poems into English. I hope the Hindu metaphors are not lost on Western readers, enjoy! (story and 1 comment and 2 images)

The Mega-Rich
lou, Saturday, Jul 30 2011, 11:21am
Money is seldom lost, it is usually funnelled.
If you ever wondered where all the money goes while nations are failing, look to the manipulators that produce nothing substantial but juggle, shuffle, trick and manipulate. The result is the obscenely rich and opulent plutocracy and elite insiders. (story and 1 comment)

Gaddafi is stronger than ever despite the US/NATO Criminal Bombing Campaign
Richard Seymour via petra, Saturday, Jul 30 2011, 12:57am
The North Atlantic Terrorist Organisation (NATO) is facing the REALITY that the MAJORITY of Libyans cannot be bombed into submission and economic slavery.
Since the Balkan travesty, it seems the WORLD has learned that UN sanctioned Wars of 'humanitarian intervention' and spreading 'Democracy' are in REALITY Corporatist and Banking wars of mass murder, plunder, territorial acquisition and resource appropriation -- PLAIN to SEE TODAY!

Libya: Reality on the Ground vs Western Media Fiction
Mahdi Darius Nazemroaya via gan, Friday, Jul 29 2011, 12:38am
The North Atlantic Terrorist Organisation (NATO) has failed in its bid to Balkanise Libya. The Libyan people are acutely aware that the West is laying siege on their Sovereign nation in order to subdue/economically enslave the people and plunder the nation's valuable resources. After months of bombing a civilian city and numerous illegal failed assassination attempts on Gaddafi's life, the 'humanitarian intervention' is now clearly seen to be the SHAM that it is.

Goldman Sachs, joint planners of the Carbon PENALTY economy with other large Financial institutions and mega energy Corporations, has wilfully facilitated the financial takeover of Greece by large Banking and Financial concerns -- Greece has clearly been sold into economic slavery!

Democracy Betrayed
zed, Tuesday, Jul 26 2011, 11:23am
If we, the democratic majority, condone or allow elected representatives to renege or back-peddle on promises then we must accept the responsibility for the failure of democracy. Democracy demands that the will of the majority is uncompromisingly served, no ‘ifs or buts!’ Everyone is able to comprehend the simple principles embodied in the Democratic ideal.

‘Extreme Nationalist’ – the New Bogeyman
kent, Sunday, Jul 24 2011, 3:45am
In the wake of the recent massacres in Norway, which killed over ninety citizens, the world was surprised to learn that the killer was NOT a bearded Jihadist – such is the power of mass media saturation over an extended period. The lunatic in this instance was a Norwegian local with a right wing Christian fundamentalist background. What is interesting to note however, are the numerous instances of media racial profiling; the killer is universally described as blonde, six feet tall, blue eyes etc, emphasising that extremists are not necessarily swarthy or dark featured 'foreigners.' The media seems less concerned with the fact that lunacy knows no racial boundaries than it is with highlighting the home grown terrorist factor! Or could the almost uniform media accounts of this tragedy be hiding another Iraq style WMD LIE and new 'terrorist' bogeyman creation? (story and 2 comments and 1 image)

More Healing Wisdom from the East
Lakshmi Gopal via sadh, Saturday, Jul 23 2011, 12:13am
When we view the REALITY NATO and the US have given the World over the past decade, the character of this marauding evil becomes clear, no assistance required to determine the ugliness and homicidal EVIL . Yet WE subscribe, either by passive acceptance, DENIAL or COMPLACENCY! Choose well the REALITY and WORLD in which you would either live happily or die/suffer miserably. Withdraw your active and passive support from the evil American Empire and reject its poisonous ideology of inequality, death, greed, permanent war and destruction.

Hacktivist Group 'Anonymous' Responds to recent Arrests
staff report via TKiss, Friday, Jul 22 2011, 10:30am
It should be remembered that Julian Assange lost credibility by making unfounded claims and threats he was unable to carry out.
Steady as she goes, crew.
There is nothing to prove, maintain focus on the primary objective, the job to be done. Never become 're-active' like Assange; there is NO identity! Glamour boy Assange became a victim of his own persona/ego/IDENTITY -- WE have no such WEAKNESS! (story and 1 image)

Economy Destroyed: The Enemy is [Wall St.] Washington
Paul Craig Roberts via reed, Friday, Jul 22 2011, 2:17am
Recently, the bond rating agencies that gave junk derivatives triple-A ratings threatened to downgrade US Treasury bonds if the White House and Congress did not reach a deficit reduction deal and debt ceiling increase. The downgrade threat is not credible, and neither is the default threat. Both are make-believe crises that are being hyped in order to force cutbacks in Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security.

Libya is a US/NATO War Crime in Progress

Global Financial Alert!

With an OVERT policy of confiscation (theft) -- Libya’s sovereign wealth fund and other LARGE funds; economic blackmail in the form of choking financial flows (WikiLeaks) -- many nations and LARGE investors are REVIEWING their policy of placing funds or INVESTING with US/Western Financial and Banking Institutions. You could hardly blame them.

Rabid Neo-Con Imperialist Spells Out Real US Foreign Policy
John Bolton via joe, Thursday, Jul 21 2011, 12:32am
John Bolton is a neo-con able to put a sentence together so make no mistake regarding the militaristic, permanent war views of the neo-fascist American Right. Referring to Libya, Bolton's view could probably be summed up in the following extract:
"But in the last four months, neither America nor its NATO allies have successfully identified and strengthened (quietly or otherwise), a truly significant cadre of pro-Western voices in Libya." [Emphasis added.]
Whatever happened to the SOVEREIGNTY OF NATIONS, Mr. Bolton? (story and 1 image)
