 Oil Companies: All profit NO disaster Contingencies
teale, Friday, Apr 30 2010, 9:31pm
Have we got the picture yet, regarding off-shore oil platforms and their obvious lack of contingency plans in the event of disastrous spills? Oz had a catastrophic explosion and fire on an off-shore rig that spilled thousands of tonnes of oil into pristine seas off Western Australia -- the State that is run by Transnational mining and gas/oil Corporations.

 Criminal elites – see how they run!
ryall, Wednesday, Apr 28 2010, 9:30pm
As a kid I enjoyed a fairytale about a Lion raised as a sheep. One day, faced with predatory wolves, this LION realised who it was and what it was FULLY capable of; it easily vanquished the threat to its loved ones and its society. Today, as an adult, the allegory is clear – those unfamiliar with this delightful animated story should search Youtube for, ‘Lambert the Sheepish Lion.’ (story and 1 audio file)

 Criminal Banksters effectively control Congress/Government
Jerry Mazza via reed, Wednesday, Apr 28 2010, 8:32pm
The Big Six investment banks, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, JP Morgan Chase, Citigroup, Bank of America and Wells Fargo, are “shorting the American Dream,” according to economist Simon Johnson and entrepreneur James Kwak in an interview on April 16, “Financial Regulation and Regulatory Capture” on Bill Moyers Journal. Here’s a summary of the big and important ideas and issues on the table.

The New Secessionists
Chris Hedges via reed, Tuesday, Apr 27 2010, 7:44pm
Acts of rebellion which promote moral and political change must be [but are rarely] nonviolent. And one of the most potent nonviolent alternatives in the country, which defies the corporate state and calls for an end to imperial wars, is the secessionist movement bubbling up in some two dozen states including Vermont, Texas, Alaska and Hawaii.

Australia’s complicity in War Crimes
liz, Monday, Apr 26 2010, 8:54pm
It is high time Aussies pulled their insular, xenophobic heads out of their arses and FACED some home truths regarding our conscious complicity in War Crimes. The most infamous and enduring in recent history is of course successive government cover-ups of the cold blooded MURDER of five Australian journalists in Balibo, in 1975. Beginning with Whitlam and (then) Foreign Minister, Gareth ‘zillions in oil’ Evans and extending to OVERT LIAR and WAR CRIMINAL John ‘aluminium tubing’ Howard and the Iraq civilian HOLOCAUST; through to the present servile government and the Sri Lankan military’s brazen summary executions of suspected LTTE fighters and the concentration of almost the entire Tamil population in camps not fit for human habitation. It should not be forgotten that the Sri Lankan ambassador to the UN, Palitha ‘only losers get tried for war crimes’ Kohona, holds dual Australian and Sri Lankan citizenship. We, as a moral nation, have RESPONSIBILITIES! (story and 2 comments and 1 image and 1 audio file)

Obama calls the 1915 Armenian Genocide an 'Atrocity'
stan, Saturday, Apr 24 2010, 9:52pm
It gets more difficult for the world’s leading civilian killing, terrorist nation to phrase criticisms of infamous historical events by the day. As each day passes, more orders are given from US Air Command and CIA facilities to CONSCIOUSLY launch missiles from UAV Drones that kill and maim countless civilians – an act which REMAINS a WAR CRIME under international Law today. [The Hague Courts have lost all credibility and openly display their corrupt bias by NOT undertaking investigations into the world’s LARGEST State run criminal organisations.] (story and 1 comment and 1 image)

Deconstructing Australia’s Puppet Politicians
ryall, Thursday, Apr 22 2010, 10:28am
Before proceeding, I would openly state that Australia today is nothing more than a client state of the U.S. Former PM (and criminal) Paul Keating surrendered the last vestiges of Oz independence to Wall St criminal elites and the corporate sector decades past. (story and 1 comment and 2 images)

The Relative Power Dynamic

Big Pharma and Psychiatrists are enslaving/killing you!
clare, Friday, Apr 16 2010, 9:21pm
There are numerous causes/reasons for society’s general apathy in the face of unprecedented OVERT criminality from the State. Hardly a murmur from a tranquilised public (40 million medicated in America alone) that views ongoing human rights violations daily and the brazen flouting of Laws which have protected civilised society for decades. As is clearly evident today, nations, particularly the USA, OPENLY engage in mass murder/HOLOCAUSTS and the most HEINOUS CRIMINAL ACTIVITY without any effective reaction from an almost completely PACIFIED PUBLIC, how so?

American ‘know-how:’ not worth a ‘pinch of shit!’
korel, Wednesday, Apr 14 2010, 10:31pm
It is no secret this site – and sister sites throughout the world -- vigorously oppose state terrorism and unrepresentative, fraudulent democracy – hence we oppose the FLAGRANTLY criminal USA and its allies! We shout our condemnation from the rooftops, in the streets we OPENLY and FREELY distribute CDs, flyers, every form of media and written hard copy imaginable and of course we SATURATE the digital world with accurate information about a NATION gone ROGUE and its criminal activities. And for all this OVERT activity over nearly a decade, the US and their (tenth-rate) geniuses/agents and a host of other imbeciles from associated criminal organisations, have failed to apprehend ONE of us -- YES, I mean ‘1’ – ROFLMFAO!

Open Season Declared on ALL Puppet Politicians!
stylus, Monday, Apr 12 2010, 9:16pm
In the current (absurd) political climate of transparent, deception and criminality from ‘our representative' leaders, around the globe – someone has to declare the next historical phase. The title says it all; need I elaborate, except perhaps to say it’s a turkey shoot? Fuckin’ criminals! (story and 1 comment)

Unprecedented Internet Censorship Bill Passed in UK
Steve Watson via fleet, Sunday, Apr 11 2010, 9:02pm
Nefarious slaver forces have begun implementing a long held policy to censor the free flow of information on the Internet. It seems 'someone' has something to hide. Our response; long live free speech and freedom of expression, you criminal, slaver, bastards!
Their policy is dumb 'em down and keep them IGNORANT, servile and amenable to our control via our managed propaganda/media outlets. OUR position is simply, F-R-E-E-D-O-M! (story and 1 image)

Machiavelli and BIG LIE Politics
Zahir Ebrahim via quill, Sunday, Apr 11 2010, 7:10pm
Once the hectoring hegemons have created a core-lie and got people to believe or accept it, namely, that ‘war on terror’ is real and “our war”, then many truths within the core-lie can be fabricated, and also are created due to their own natural dynamics with proper black-ops channeling to mobilize insurgency and then officially fighting it as “counter-insurgency”. A cook-book recipe for fabricating “revolutionary times”, for indeed, “what is inconceivable in normal times is possible in revolutionary times”! A self-sustaining system dynamics comes into existence which is closely managed and continually harvested to sustain “imperial mobilization”.

Conspiracies and Recent Events

The Conspiracy wire is going nuts at the moment, plans to nuke Iran, ‘Chechen’ (CIA backed) terrorist attacks in Moscow and now -- what a ‘coincidence’ -- the ‘missile shield’ entire Polish leadership killed in a 'tragic' airline ‘accident!’ Seems Russia has learnt a trick or two from the US – civilian casualties, no prob, they are only mindless, slave, morons, anyway.
