US 'Justice': A Marine who Murdered Women and Children gets 3 Months
staff report via stele, Monday, Jan 23 2012, 8:50pm
As if to 'stick it' to the entire CIVILISED World, the US military -- now legally empowered by Obama to DETAIN civilians/anyone anywhere on suspicion, INDEFINITELY -- handed down a THREE month sentence to one of their own for MURDERING unarmed women and children in Haditha, Iraq -- have we had enough of this arrogant, CRIMINALLY CORRUPT NATION, YET? It is painfully apparent that War Crimes seem to apply to everyone EXCEPT the US military. So, how's this for a variation on a recent US theme: 'we came, we saw, we assassinated!' Brazen CORRUPTION and lawlessness gives license to EVERYONE to respond IN KIND! (story and 6 comments and 1 image)

MegaUpload Case -- US Seeks Dominion Over Cyberspace
Brett Winterford via Kismo, Sunday, Jan 22 2012, 8:19pm
Have we had enough of America's 'permanent war,' 'indefinite detention,' neo-fascist policies or should we ALLOW the US to harness and control Cyberspace -- that is the principal issue behind the Assange and MegaUpload cases?
Not content with illegally invading weaker nations, plundering and killing thousands of innocent civilians -- all in the name of PROFIT -- the clearly criminal US now seeks dominion over Cyberspace, the last truly FREE social space left to humanity. (story and 1 comment)

Don't be the suckers THEY Expect You to be!

Anyone that takes anything at face value today is a fuckwit!
Savvy media analysts have been drawing attention to the NOT coincidental SOPA bill following hot on the heels of the 'indefinite detention' provision in the NDAA that servile Obama dutifully signed into law for his masters on New Year's Eve! (story and 2 comments and 1 image)

Google (and other media) Suppress Ron Paul
sysadmin, Friday, Jan 20 2012, 10:29pm
The story linked below covers Ron Paul introducing legislation on the floor of the House to REPEAL the plainly Nazi 'indefinite detention without trial or charge' provision in the NDAA, which shameless PUPPET president Obama signed into law on New Year's eve -- dig that for timing -- notwithstanding that Obama said he would veto the provision! But the WORLD has learned over the past four years that Obama reneges on all his promises and pledges, moreso than any other politician ON EARTH (suckers) -- so much for president 'INTEGRITY!'

FBI Responds to SOPA Protests with Shutdowns and Warrants
staff report via lyn, Thursday, Jan 19 2012, 10:19pm
Twenty four hours after Internet advocates held a GLOBAL online protest objecting to proposed anti-piracy legislation, which they claim is censorship at its worst and overreach at best, one of the world's largest file-sharing sites, MegaUpload.com, was shuttered by the FBI and arrest warrants served in New Zealand! [Draconian information control necessarily follows totalitarian Indefinite Detention law in the face of widespread, SUSTAINED, social paralysis/INACTION. As occurred in Nazi Germany, the best thing the civilised and educated German MASSES could do to stop Fascism's swift rise, was sit with their thumbs up their arses!] (story and 2 comments and 1 image)

We Rise or Fall Together
manny, Wednesday, Jan 18 2012, 10:50pm
In no way do I cast any negative criticism on Australia’s long suffering indigenous people as a whole though a recent political distraction by Washington lackey, Oz PM Juliar ‘carbon tax’ Gillard, forces me to address some dubious characters in this article. The matter relates to a government media grab/distraction; Gillard wishes to recognise the original occupants of Australia in the Constitution; HOWEVER, she consciously chooses not to view the matter in its historical, genocidal context – an invasion and the establishment of a penal colony that served the interests of a COMMERCIAL and MERCANTILE British Empire seeking more PROFIT by force of arms. The invasion of Australia and colonial development by the British Crown and the subsequent slaughter (for sport in some instances) of the local indigenous population is historical fact, though much historical fact is glossed over to make it more acceptable or ‘naturally' consequential.

Nonviolent Resistance – get over it!
quill, Tuesday, Jan 17 2012, 5:57am
A popular myth promulgated by the ‘man’ is that non-violent resistance exemplified by Gandhi and Martin Luther King is an effective method of opposition against draconian, VIOLENT, criminal forces -- forget it, it’s a LIE, a strategy designed to contain and paralyse entire populations.

Voters Choice: Ron Paul or Israel Lobby
William A. Cook via reed, Monday, Jan 16 2012, 8:06pm
A curious glance at the current crop of presidential candidates makes it clear that Ron Paul stands alone when it comes to the issue of US engagement in foreign wars. He stands with George Washington against foreign entanglements while the rest of the candidates stand with Teddy Roosevelt and the attempted creation of America 's first empire one hundred and twelve years ago. Mark Twain responded to that effort by creating the Anti-imperialist society while he caustically satirized the effort in his depiction of the massacre of the Moros in the Philippines . Now we have more massacres, using drones instead of canons, on equally hapless civilians who are caught unawares or hiding from the wrath of America 's righteousness as we drive to bring virtue to a primitive world.

Hackers hit Amazon Company, Zappos

With online shopping hitting record levels of adoption this past holiday season, it may seem to many that we're on the brink of a golden age of online commerce. But a hacking incident suffered by Zappos just last night could give some wary shoppers pause before making that next Internet purchase. (story and 1 image)

'Defense' Lunacy USA
Kevin Carson via gan, Sunday, Jan 15 2012, 8:30pm
US military culture has recently made the headlines again with the urination corpse 'scandal' -- never mind the mass civilian murders, targeted assassinations and ILLEGAL military occupations! The Pentagon has revealed quite plainly how they transform OUR civilized youth into sadistic, homicidal sociopaths fighting CORPORATE wars -- that is the real tragedy. Our soldiers unconsciously know they are fighting dishonorable, CRIMINAL wars for PROFIT. Hence, SUICIDE continues to be the largest killer of US troops, enough said? The real enemy behind all the wars is Wall St. Bankers and Corporate owned Washington politicians!

'Appropriate Behaviour' in an Insane World
Jacqueline Marcus via judd, Sunday, Jan 15 2012, 7:45am
Consider the HORRENDOUS innocent civilian death toll in America's recent wars of resource theft and the continued daily killing of innocent civilians by CIA and Pentagon UAV Drones, which is somehow acceptable or at least doesn't seem to offend the American mass media and then consider the recent media hysteria over US marines pissing on the murdered corpses of Afghani freedom fighters (or innocent civilians?) and you will get a sense of the depths of real depravity, irrationality and sheer lunacy to which America has sunk. America today is not a nation, it is a dangerous DISEASE that must be fought on every front!

Doctors warn: so-called Energy drinks are POISONING our teens
Siobhan Duck via stan, Sunday, Jan 15 2012, 6:51am
The Corporate and Big Pharma controlled AMA is calling, not for a ban on these clearly toxic, designed for no good purpose, 'energy drinks', but an age restriction on their sale. Clearly doctors are worried about losing their bonus points for that free holiday on the Gold Coast if they step on Big Pharma and Corporate toes, you pathetic, corrupt, gutless, professional no-accounts! But perhaps Aussie doctors may wish to inform the public of the diabetic 'benefits' to any age group a hyper-sweetened, caffeine saturated drink could offer! (story and 1 image)

Scientific basis for some Yoga practices in Sinusitis
Dr. Aanada Balayogi Bhavanani via sadh, Saturday, Jan 14 2012, 9:47pm
Recent American 'news' reports are warning that nasal irrigation -- known as Jala Neti in its country of origin -- could be fatal due to the presence of a brain eating amoeba in American drinking water! We have often wondered what they put in American drinking water to create such a fear ridden, socially paralysed (indefinite detention without trial or charge) CLEARLY enslaved, imbecilic population! The existence of this amoeba, among other things, in American drinking water may not surprise many so I would add a cautionary provision to the practice of jala neti; if in any doubt whatsoever regarding the safety of water supplies simply BOIL all water thoroughly and clean all utensils ('neti pots') before utilisation for nasal irrigation. There ya go, you dumb, frightened, Americans. [Please note this is an editorial comment and in no way reflects the opinion or sentiments of the author, though the health/safety warning applies!] (story and 1 comment)

Soapy SOPA to relax DNS filtering
Greg Sandoval and Declan McCullagh via Vinnie, Saturday, Jan 14 2012, 10:48am
