Steve Jobs' FBI File
piper, Thursday, Feb 9 2012, 11:28pm
The mainstream media must be desperate for stories reporting that recently deceased, Steve Jobs of Apple Computer, smoked pot and dropped acid in his youth -- big fuckin' deal! I don't know of any exceptionally creative people that haven't! Jobs was a product of his generation, a generation known to have hash on toast and LSD on their cornflakes for breakfast, you pedestrian, no-accounts. (story and 1 image)

The Russia-China Veto: Will it Contribute to Reversing the Tide of Global Warfare?
Matthias Chang via stan, Thursday, Feb 9 2012, 9:54am
Mao Zedong famously declared that the “US is a paper tiger” and that in winning wars, it is the people that are paramount not weapons. Atomic weapons will not enable a country to win the war. If there was one statement that galvanised the Chinese people to stand up and be counted in the face of open threats of nuclear war and oppression, this was it. Mao Zedong was correct on all counts from a strategic standpoint. And one need not be a communist to appreciate this strategic victory in propaganda warfare, when at the material time China was not even a nuclear power. The army of the People’s Republic of China was essentially a peasant army but one highly motivated and disciplined. China at the material time took a consistent stand in opposing hegemony, standing up to the armed aggressions of the Anglo-American war party in South America, Middle East and Asia.

Oz Banks Shedding Loyal Staff Again
lynx, Thursday, Feb 9 2012, 7:36am
Australian banks are “restructuring” -- a euphemism for sacking workers no longer required by highly profitable banks – that’s right, the sackings are NOT the result of economic pressures. Banks are slowly displacing once valued and indispensible workers with computer programs. Very little effort was directed at retraining staff, as the banks require a smaller compliment of workers, they wanted these workers off the books PERMANENTLY! (story and 3 comments and 2 images)

 Nerve Gas To Be Used for Crowd Control in the UK
staff report via gan, Wednesday, Feb 8 2012, 10:28am
Since the original release of the TV episode (below), scientists have developed a human transmissible strain of the deadly bird flu virus and puppet president Obama has legally granted the criminally corrupt US military the power to indefinitely detain anyone without trial or charge-- it doesn't get much worse, be warned!

Google's Search Algorithm Inventor Launches Rival Search Engine
staff report via lynx, Monday, Feb 6 2012, 11:09pm
ROME — An Italian computer science professor whose development research was appropriated by Google, launched a new search engine and social media network on Monday that he hopes will challenge the US technology giant. [The world is in dire need of a neutral and fair search engine that is not in partnership with the CIA or other nefarious agencies as is Google.] (story and 2 images)

Iran Provoked to the Hilt
sabre, Monday, Feb 6 2012, 11:47am
The same was done to Libya and look at the end result! By way of clarification, it should be noted that there is only one nation that desires war with Iran and that nation is Israel. So how is it Israel is able to exert so much influence over puppet president, Obama?

5 Wars America Must End for Peace and Freedom to Prevail
Eric Blair via gan, Monday, Feb 6 2012, 8:34am
I've arrived at the point that whenever I hear the word "war," I cringe. Even when that violent term is used in seemingly noble pursuits like the 'war' on poverty, or the 'war' on hunger. It's become apparent that all wars are destructive regardless of all good intentions. It has also become obvious that when the State declares war on a social problem, it is nothing more than an attempt to curtail our liberties and hard won freedoms.

Hacker Vanguard Instills FEAR into Corporate Elites
Muriel Kane via stele, Sunday, Feb 5 2012, 12:33pm
The growing Anonymous army of hackers and digital activists has EFFECTIVELY (look up that word Occupy) put 'the fear of God' into major US corporations and organisations. Compromised targets to date include numerous government depts, law enforcement, computer security firms and a host of financial and commercial organisations. The method is simplicity itself, full disclosure/EXPOSURE of all compromising information hidden from the public; everything from criminal collusion, to astounding incompetence. And things PROMISE to get much worse for corrupt criminal elites that have MUCH TO HIDE. (story and 1 comment and 1 image)

Another Senseless WAR waged by the Avaricious and Mentally Unstable
Andrew Murray via gan, Saturday, Feb 4 2012, 9:53pm
If we allow incompetent politicians and mentally disturbed Corporate elites to prosecute another needless war then the losers will be ALL of us! The author adds his voice to the growing chorus of SANE commentators, observers and analysts that base their assessments on previous debacles and criminal deceptions; every war waged by the criminal elites over the past decade has ended in millions of civilian casualties, massive destruction ("bomb everything") and huge social destabilization and MISERY. It's TIME to STOP these sociopaths and criminals before it's too late! An attack on Iran could easily escalate into a broader uncontrollable nuclear conflict. Non-state players are likely to exploit the situation. Be warned! (story and 1 comment and 1 image)

US Military to Court Martial Bradley Manning
staff report via stan, Saturday, Feb 4 2012, 11:32am
The same corrupt US military that slaps killers of women and children on the wrist (no jail time for convicted civilian killers) is to court martial Bradley Manning for releasing evidence of war crimes to the public. The case PROMISES to be another classic military miscarriage of justice but this time probably ending in the crucifixion of whistleblower, Manning. (story and 1 image)

WAR is the Problem!
nano, Saturday, Feb 4 2012, 2:32am
Are we so easily duped and beguiled AGAIN that we believe this or that NATION now poses a threat to the United States? The problem was not Iraq -- as the WORLD is NOW well AWARE -- it was/is the LYING, criminal, NEO-CONS implementing their PERMANENT WAR, PNAC agenda; both Rumsfeld and Cheney are on record pushing endless or 'long wars!'

CORRUPTION, not bad Judgement or Myopism
judd, Friday, Feb 3 2012, 10:45am
Those who require evidence of criminal CORRUPTION on an INTERNATIONAL scale need only look at the ICC that allows a certain nation to kill civilians in Drone attacks almost daily. Or consider the concerted push to popularize puppet Obama and the absurd granting of the Nobel Peace Prize to a man that threatens people with Drone strikes in open press conferences and then emphasizes with the threat, "you think I'm joking?"

Washington ‘blew it’ with Gillard

After backstabbing former PM, ‘show pony, do-nothing, hair dryer,’ Kevin Rudd, who it seemed decided to make some decisions for himself -- earning the ire of Murdoch and the White House in the process -- the powers, unaccustomed to their servile puppets in subjugated colonies not doing what they’re told, arranged for Gillard to replace Rudd, Roman Senate style.

Leaked NATO Report Predicts Taliban Victory in Afghanistan
Simon Tisdall via stan, Wednesday, Feb 1 2012, 11:34pm
There is nothing surprising about NATO/US dunderheads finally grasping a point well known among historians, independent commentators and political analysts. Though we should never forget that marauding, thieving mass murderers are thin on intelligence. (story and 2 images)
