 Non-Violent Revolution Expert hangs OWS up to Dry
Viva la lucha Armada, Tuesday, Jan 10 2012, 9:46pm
"All change is violent to that which is changed." There is no escaping the fact that all social/political revolutions -- including Gandhi's -- result in HUGE casualties and deaths. OWS dreamboats take note of your guru Gene Sharp stating what every analyst already knew, OWS is I-N-E-F-F-E-C-T-I-V-E! It was designed to achieve nothing but have the appearance of a protest movement and it was done well -- you mindless American morons!

 Doomsday Clock Running Slow
kronos, Tuesday, Jan 10 2012, 8:35pm
It seems scientists are concerned over the Doomsday clock gaining another minute to midnight (oblivion time). According to 'concerned' scientists it is now FIVE minutes to midnight! Now consider runaway climate change, massive extinctions, Corporate pollution at all time high, water table pollution with fracking and the mining of scarce arable land, to mention only a few doomsday scenarios and it makes you wonder who set the time?

Back to the Stone Age with the USA
nano, Monday, Jan 9 2012, 10:02pm
Consider the dramatic global shift, a decade past, to a PERMANENT WAR strategy promoted by American neocons and pursued by Obama BUT designed and developed by the Banking and Corporate elites that control Washington.

Iraqi Torture Scandal Touches Highest Levels of NATO
Jeffrey Kaye via stan, Monday, Jan 9 2012, 11:19am
It is no surprise that NATO's current Secretary General, Andes Fogh '26,000 sorties' Rasmussen, has been involved in the torture of Iraqis while in his capacity as prime minister of Denmark. American and allied forces know on whom they can depend to undertake their criminal activities. (story and 1 image)

What do they FEAR MOST?
ryall, Sunday, Jan 8 2012, 9:26pm
Think for a very brief moment because the answer is before your eyes – what would a nation with a divisionist, PERMANENT WAR doctrine, fear most? PEACE of course, mutual cooperation and UNITY -- civilised relations between people and nations, a not too difficult proposition in a world sick to death of UNNECESSARY wars and needless conflict.

China, Russia: barking (cowardly) dogs don’t bite
major mitchell, Saturday, Jan 7 2012, 9:26pm
As a British, Israeli and US naval flotilla quietly sails to the Persian Gulf in preparation for offensive action, the clawless and toothless Russian bear growls and the Chinese yellow dog (Chihuahua) yelps; we have heard and seen it all before, the APPEARANCE of opposition from the ‘other’ two superpowers.

Secrets of Empire in the Land of Delusion
Phil Rockstroh via gan, Friday, Jan 6 2012, 10:15pm
It is laughable (in a weeping way) that Obama and his fellow Democratic Party supporters and apologists can't find a more resonant campaign theme than, "We carry out the agendas of the national security/bankster/militarist state i.e., the 1% ruling minority, while appearing to be less crazy than Republicans."

US Hopes to 'contain' China with mini-drones
major major, Friday, Jan 6 2012, 7:46am
After the recent capture of a 'sophisticated' UAV Drone over Iran we can safely assume that China and Russia are now in possession of the latest drone stealth technology. The intended deployment of this type of aircraft over China by Pentagon dunces no longer poses any major threat; in fact it is probably welcomed, as understood stealth technology allows easy targeting of this type of aircraft.

The US has NO MORAL or LEGAL authority over ANYONE
gan, Thursday, Jan 5 2012, 7:37pm
In the wake of puppet president Obama's signing into 'law' the indefinite detention provision included in the NDAA Bill, the question that should be asked is not, "what'll we do now?" BUT rather whether the world's leading law breaking, civilian killing, warring, thieving/plundering, therefore TERRORIST NATION, has any authority over the GLOBAL MORAL MAJORITY? The DEFINITIVE and absolute answer to that pertinent question is, NO -- none whatsoever! (story and 1 comment and 3 images)

Competing Banks Engage in Cyber Warfare
Leonie Lamont via sal, Thursday, Jan 5 2012, 11:00am
Not all hacks originate from the underground. The hacker community is aware that Banks via third party front men, have enlisted the services of some rogue hackers to launch attacks on their competitors. It seems that some astute Bankers are exploiting a common mis-perception, that all successful hacks are launched by mysterious black hat hackers. (story and 1 image)

'Occupy' Mindlessness
Adam Martin via reg, Thursday, Jan 5 2012, 12:50am
Here we go again, passive, do-nothing, go-nowhere, unfocused, directionless, agenda DEVOID and uncoordinated 'Occupy' protesters arrested for, you guessed it, doing NOTHING! Well, on the bright side at least this time they didn't sit passively and get pepper sprayed by sadistic police.
I will resist the urge to pour scorn on this obviously orchestrated by the man, DESIGNED to do-nothing, 'movement.'
When 'Occupy' achieves something, the smallest victory let me know, Mr Chris Hedges -- in the meantime 'Occupy' is notorious for its INEFFECTIVENESS and its INABILITY to ACHIEVE ANYTHING, you mindless MORONS -- only in America! (story and 1 image)

Latest Suppressed News from Libya
Timothy Bancroft-Hinchey via stan, Wednesday, Jan 4 2012, 11:23pm
Have you noticed the western media blackout on Libya? The reason is simple, when US/NATO criminal interests are engaged directly or by proxy in ongoing war and other crimes against humanity -- which characterised the 'humanitarian,' 26,000 bombing missions over Libya -- that news is suppressed by the Western media. The once free Libyan population is now under a constant terror campaign by fundamentalist al-Qaeda jihadists in the pay and service of western banking and corporate powers -- make no mistake!

'Tracebook,' social media and Privacy
stacy, Tuesday, Jan 3 2012, 7:13pm
Indeed, "Tracebook" is the pet name Australian police and agencies have given Facebook, as it functions as the most efficient (personal and social) information gathering tool in existence today. Who would have thought that almost an entire generation would willingly and openly publish highly personal information about themselves and their movements for the WORLD, CIA and other agencies to mine and use -- in most cases against the people mindlessly volunteering such information.

Kiss America Goodbye -- President Obama Signs Indefinite Detention Bill Into Law
staff report via reed, Saturday, Dec 31 2011, 10:54am
WASHINGTON – President Obama signed the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) into law today [December 31, 2011]. The statute contains a sweeping worldwide indefinite detention provision. While President Obama issued a signing statement saying he had “serious reservations” about the provisions, the statement only applies to how his administration would use the authorities granted by the NDAA, and would not affect how the law is interpreted by subsequent administrations. The White House had threatened to veto an earlier version of the NDAA, but reversed course shortly before Congress voted on the final bill. (story and 1 comment)

Oz Defence Ministers egg and custard on Face!
