 '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!

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!

 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."

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)

Cringing Americans would rather Eat Shit than Take a Stand and Save Themselves

The fear controlled, action paralyzed, intellectually bereft, great American white 'rat' would rather be foreclosed, genitally groped, paid a pittance, bailout rich criminals, accept the Nazi indefinite detention act, be stripped of almost EVERY RIGHT the population enjoyed only a decade past, THAN TAKE A STAND against the CLEARLY criminal Corporate and Banker elites that have hijacked their democracy/government/NATION!

Social Tipping Point
buddy, Friday, Dec 23 2011, 11:05pm
A certain meridian of time, soon to be crossed, will open the world into a new social reality; one in which antiquated structures go 'wobbly' and begin to crumble, indicating the collapse of an outmoded system doomed to utter failure but also opening an opportunity for a completely new social reality; one based on mutual cooperation, harmony and peace not permanent war, conflict, mass murder and criminal enterprise.

The USA: a Population of Cowardly Morons Managed with Meaningless Metaphors and Clever Clichés
sam, Wednesday, Dec 21 2011, 10:40pm
There is a price to pay for ignorance and America demonstrates that fact daily. Here are two (of many) 'classic' American slogans that blinded and guided an entire population in pre-determined directions: the totally meaningless in the context of the Vietnam war, "light at the end of the tunnel," and the recent, meaningless without a qualifier, "yes, we can," which placed a reprehensible puppet (Obama) in the White House.

The Corporations That OWN Congress
David Cay Johnston via fleet, Tuesday, Dec 20 2011, 8:13pm
Some of the biggest companies in the United States have been firing workers and in some cases lobbying for rules that depress wages at the very time that jobs are needed, pay is low, and the federal budget suffers from a lack of revenue. (story and 1 image)

Regulators, You are Working for Criminals
feather, Thursday, Dec 15 2011, 7:18am
After the bought US Senate and corrupt House of Representatives overwhelmingly passed the most draconian provision in US History into Law -- indefinite detention without charge or trial on SUSPICION -- it became plain the US military, police and other domestic regulatory bodies are working for minority CRIMINAL interests. The same interests that have hijacked OUR democracy and trashed safeguards enshrined in the Constitution and Bill of Rights, which were included by our founding fathers to protect the people and nation against precisely the criminal interests that control Washington today. It is a sad day for the do-nothing paralysed population and a tragic day in American history when a clearly corrupted government opens the door to elite domestic criminal extremists and a totalitarian future.

The Use of the Military on Domestic Populations soon to become a Reality
Kevin Zeese via reed, Tuesday, Dec 13 2011, 8:35pm
A radical change in law to allow the use of the military inside the United States, against U.S. citizens and residents, and to allow their indefinite military detention based merely on suspicion of being engaged in hostilities against the U.S is being rushed through congress. This amendment, sponsored by Senators Carl Levin and John McCain, was added in the senate after a closed door hearing and has received overwhelming bi-partisan support on the senate floor, with very little debate.

Get Over it! -- Banker/Corporate Interests Control Western Governments
beau, Saturday, Dec 10 2011, 9:18pm
Surely the REALITY of Global Banking and Corporatist cartels running (ruining) the global economy and exercising complete control over western governments is widely KNOWN today? Even the dimmest dipsomaniac commentators, analysts and academics seem to have finally caught on. However, some (very few) dipso-journos etc, continue to mis-represent/report the stark REALITY around them!

 US Executive may Veto Senate Bill on Indefinite Detention for 'Terrorist' Suspects

More Infantile antics from the Australian Labor Party
bluey, Saturday, Nov 26 2011, 9:53pm
Between the two of them, Gillard and Rudd, there won’t be much left of the ALP or Australia for that matter! Washington door mat, Juliar ‘Goldman Tax’ Gillard, by signing off on an unprecedented F-I-V-E full scale US military bases, which the yanks can build any time they wish, has UNNECESSARILY (that’s the issue) made Australia a PRIMARY NUCLEAR TARGET in the event of an American provoked (10 years of CRIMINAL warfare) conflict with China, brilliant!

Venezuela Repatriates its Foreign Gold Reserves
staff report via gan, Saturday, Nov 26 2011, 7:06am
The Criminal Bankers of the Reserve System have PROVEN they are very quick to appropriate the assets and gold reserves of nations they wish to conquer.
Roosevelt, under instruction from Bankers at the time, began this form of robbery/asset freezes during WWII. It is ludicrous for any nation to allow their bullion reserves to languish in foreign Banks and Vaults of the CRIMINAL Reserve Banking System. They are very quick to appropriate the sovereign assets/wealth of nations they do not like. (story and 1 image)

The Arab Con and Occupy Ruse
nano, Wednesday, Nov 23 2011, 10:36am
Readers would have encountered many references to the “Arab Spring” and “Occupy movement” in various media presentations today. What is not widely known however is the FACT that both movements have been cleverly socially engineered by professionals such as OTPOR/Canvas and various agencies – search Youtube for “The Revolution Business” for detailed information.

A Whiff of Real Democracy
dasha, Thursday, Nov 17 2011, 8:50am
For a very brief moment, the world got a passing whiff of real democracy but it was only a tantalising taste of hope. Greek PM, George Papandreou, under huge pressure from Europe's Central Bankers to impose severe austerity measures on his nation, threatened to take the issue to the people of Greece in a real democratic referendum. Well, Banking and Financial elites nearly died of shock. (story and 1 comment and 1 image)
