Bluster, Bravado and Hard Reality
brill, Sunday, Apr 10 2011, 12:05pm
For all its bluster and bravado about high tech digital weaponry and invincible superpower status, the US is laughingly unable to prevail against a bunch of rag-tag tribesmen in Afghanistan and the North West frontier region of Pakistan – notwithstanding that Iraq, the Balkans and other occupied territories hang by a thread.

In stark contrast to Google, which keeps the location and any other details about its servers secret at all times, Facebook has taken an open-source approach and is allowing developers full access to the workings of the vast halls of computers behind the site.

Obama: fool me twice, why not?
kretino, Wednesday, Apr 6 2011, 10:53pm
Regardless of the now CONFIRMED HOPELESS and CHANGE NOTHING fraud President Obama's LACK of integrity, his billion dollar Corporate supporters will ensure his second term -- after all, moron Bush got two terms and so did his predecessors. It's the way things are done in Washington; Corporatists need two terms to extract value from their PUPPET presidents.

Humble Honey Bee Makes a Comeback
Fiona Harvey via treat, Wednesday, Apr 6 2011, 9:28am

The High Cost of Political Subservience
digby, Monday, Apr 4 2011, 11:30am
The Oz PM, Julia Gillard, is about as popular as a fart in a lift at the moment. Her blind obedience to Wall Street and Washington's wishes to implement a back-breaking Carbon Tax is the primary reason the Australian public have rejected her. But as stated previously, she is NOT representative of the people, in fact, she regards locals with such contempt that she imagined she could REVERSE a previous promise never to introduce a Carbon Tax and maintain her viability.

Corporatists Guilty of Criminal Negligence Avoid Prosecution
judd, Sunday, Apr 3 2011, 11:10pm
A host of Oil and associated Corporations were exposed as criminally negligent after the catastrophic Oil spill and loss of life in the Gulf of Mexico. So too Tokyo Electric, another Corporation guilty of the most heinous criminal fraud and deception -- to the great cost of the environment, Japan and the WORLD.

Our True Nature is Bliss
stylus, Saturday, Apr 2 2011, 10:33am
Bold, succinct, transformative and evolutionary claims, as expressed by the title, are difficult to ignore.
The ancient Indian Vedas do not mince words or engage in florid metaphor, they emphatically state that man’s true nature is Bliss; the Vedas also challenge us to verify that enduring Truth for ourselves. (story and 4 comments)

Obama Libya Speech noted for Open Fascist Declaration
judd, Thursday, Mar 31 2011, 9:37am
Obama’s speech on Monday was a shocker! Not for its failure to convince anyone that Oil, gas and eliminating Gaddafi are not the primary objectives of the Libyan intervention, but for the fact that ruling Corporatist and Banker elites in the US no longer find it necessary to hide their true character or intentions.

Obama’s [Wall Street's] Unconvincing Case on Libya
Matthew Rothschild via stan, Tuesday, Mar 29 2011, 10:39pm
Wall Street fails to make case via puppet President Obama for the Libyan intervention. Performer/Liar Obama did not address the issue of his war making powers during his belated speech to the nation on the Libyan military intervention [because he does what he's told]. He also failed to distinguish between Libya and other cases of urgent humanitarian need, such as Syria, Yemen and Bahrain. And he didn’t adequately address the question of 'overextending' the military, or face the crying social needs on the home front. (story and 1 comment and 1 image)

Flagrant US RACIST Propaganda
van, Monday, Mar 28 2011, 9:30pm
With God on their side regardless of how many innocent civilians they murder or 'legally' torture, every American knows they are justified in doing anything they choose -- criminal or otherwise. When reason and LIES fail to sustain the argument/myth 'they' resort to the most outrageous racist propaganda seen since the anti-semitic attacks on the Jews by the Nazis. The video below has gone viral for a number of reasons but its overtly racist message is without doubt a calculated inclusion -- there were many ways of delivering this message without the need for OVERT RACISM so we must ask the question, WHY?
