  U.S. gives kiss of death to Australian Labor Government

‘Serving’ Oz PM, Kevin ‘07’, arrived in Washington yesterday to receive his pet on the head from the new White House team installed by the same status quo powers that installed and determined policy for the previous Clinton and Bush administrations -- ‘things must change if they are to remain the same,’ indeed!

London bankers warned to dress down amid violence fears
Emma Alberici via talya, Tuesday, Mar 24 2009, 5:51am
The city of London is bracing for widespread disruption over the next week as protesters plan a wave of anti-capitalist demonstrations in the lead-up to the G20 summit of world leaders next week.
Police have warned workers in the financial district to dress down and not draw attention to themselves as protesters target bankers in what is feared will be violent clashes on the scale of the May Day anti-globalisation protests from 2000 and 2001. (story and 1 image)

I can add too!
angry citizen, Sunday, Mar 22 2009, 1:45am
This comment has been upgraded because it makes sense 'across the board' -- something that Executive elites have been unable to do for years! Anyone that has any assets whatsoever in the 'stock market' -- for the want of a more accurate term -- could be best described today as a fool's FOOL!
Angry citizen's comment puts the entire financial meltdown in contextual perspective -- see how THEY run! Use it like a hot knife when dealing with the 'butter' explanations of shysters and banksters. It certainly frames the article from Rolling Stone's, Matt Taibbi, in the comment section very nicely indeed -- a great read, Matt! Never forget the CURRENT REALITY and how we got here and WHO was responsible. Never again fall for the meaningless gibberish of 'experts' that reality BRANDS as thieves and liars -- simple! I'll leave you to the perfect deductions of an honest angry citizen! Ed. (story and 2 comments and 1 image)

Introducing the New Canada!
nano, Saturday, Mar 21 2009, 11:54pm
In a political inversion that defies all reason and rational thought, the Canadian government recently barred a British MP from entering the country while welcoming, with warm embraces, a notorious mass murderer and war criminal! No prizes for guessing the identity of the notorious war criminal, George W Bush; however, some people in North America may not be familiar with the outspoken British MP, George Galloway, who I would add is NOT guilty of deceit, leading to the mass murder of over one million INNOCENT Iraqis!

Restoring our Financial Sovereignty
Nikki Alexander via quin, Friday, Mar 20 2009, 7:43am
Prologue
When Benjamin Franklin was called before the British Parliament in 1757 and asked to account for the prosperity in the American colonies. He replied, "That is simple. In the colonies we issue our own money. It is called Colonial Scrip. We issue it in proper proportion to the demands of trade and industry to make the products pass easily from the producers to the consumers. In this manner, creating for ourselves our own paper money, we control its purchasing power, and we have no interest to pay to no one."
It was the struggle for financial sovereignty that precipitated the American Revolution when the (Rothschild) Bank of England forced the colonies to give up their Scrip and intense poverty followed. (story and 2 comments and 1 image)

Some of Cayce's Predictions
ides, Thursday, Mar 19 2009, 6:55pm
Recent events have warranted the upgrade of this comment -- originally to article 304 -- to story status. The principal considerations for the upgrade relate to relevancy and timeliness.
The sheer beauty and power of Nature's forces may have also influenced our decision; 'let her rip, Gaia -- way to go!' (story and 1 comment and 1 image)

For those living in the subterranean depths and for others who may not yet have noticed that one of the world’s great ‘religions’/ideologies has COMPLETELY FAILED! The STARK REALITY of today is that FREE MARKET CAPITALISM is DEAD or at the very least [is] a FLAWED and failed system. (story and 3 comments)

Paul Keating’s recent ‘sledging’ of Timothy Geithner in context
Kingfisher, Tuesday, Mar 17 2009, 10:48pm
Perhaps no Western leader was closer to the CIA backed, mass murdering former Indonesian President, General Soeharto than former Australian PM, Paul Keating. It would be fair to say that Soeharto and Keating were as ‘thick as thieves.’ (story and 2 images)

Dollar Crisis In The Making
W Joseph Stroupe via reed, Monday, Mar 16 2009, 9:42am
Increasingly ominous clouds are gathering in what could soon be the perfect storm against the United States dollar and against the present dollar-centric global financial order.
This is not shaping up to be a storm that anyone is trying to initiate, not even those who are actively driving for a new global financial order that is no longer centered on the dollar. Instead, it will result from a correlation of forces arising out of the deepening global financial and economic crises, coupled with recurring and conspicuous miscalculation on the part of some of the world's political, financial and economic leaders.

Jon Stewart becomes angry public's avenger
Howard Kurtz via reed, Sunday, Mar 15 2009, 9:23pm
WASHINGTON — Jon Stewart has amassed a passionate following as a sharp-edged satirist who punctures the balloons of the powerful with a caustic candor that reporters cannot muster. As public furor over the economic meltdown rises, the Comedy Central star has turned not just his humor but his full-throated outrage against financial journalists who he says aided and abetted the likes of Bear Stearns, AIG and Citigroup, especially those who work for the nation's top business-news channel.

ICC — ‘Western kangaroo court’
Olley Maruma via rialator, Sunday, Mar 15 2009, 8:23pm
In Africa, the International Criminal Court (ICC) at the Hague is considered by many to be a Western kangaroo court set up to hound, jail and silence African and Third world leaders who refuse to submit to the grip of Western hegemony and domination. The court's recent indictment of President Omar al Bashir of Sudan, has only provided more evidence to give credence to this view. (story and 1 image)

Taliban Truce and the Coming Storm in South Asia

With growing instability and political turmoil inside Afghanistan and Pakistan, due in no small measure to American efforts on both sides of the "Afpak" divide to "stabilize" the region for multinational energy companies, this spring will see the rise of combat operations inside both countries.

The Vacillating President: 70K troop surge or defeat in Afghanistan?
budgie, Sunday, Mar 8 2009, 1:14am
What’s it gonna be Baa’raack, a 70,000 troop surge in Afghanistan or failure? All we heard from the world’s highest profile house slave (you reprehensible, turncoat, fraud) was the constant refrain ‘we must fight the war in Afghanistan;’ the war is in Afghanistan, the war, ya di yar …; you even had servile Kevin ‘custard-face’ Rudd, the Oz PM, repeating the same refrain. Have a heart, Baa’raack, between you and Murdoch the hapless Oz PM doesn’t know which way to turn -- poor pathetic, Kevin, ‘we’ promise to give clear orders next time! (story and 1 image)
