Losing heart? Not on YOUR bloody life!
major mitchell, Saturday, Mar 28 2009, 12:41am
Whether it was news of our pathetic, pipsqueak PM, Kevin ‘suck harder’ Rudd, accepting ‘advice’ from a heinous war criminal, Henry ‘4 million carpet-bombed dead’ Kissinger or Obama’s latest speech framing IMPERIALIST war policies in smoother words but no less bloody consequences that made me stall, I do not know – old soldiers never flinch, they just get stoned! However, on this occasion it was pure rage that propelled me forward and sustained my sense of purpose and FIGHT, yes F-I-G-H-T, I was trained for the task – at birth! (story and 3 comments)

US Military drafted plans to terrorize US cities to provoke war (with Cuba!)
David Ruppe via peate, Friday, Mar 27 2009, 6:44am
In the early 1960s, America's top military leaders reportedly drafted plans to kill innocent people and commit acts of terrorism in U.S. cities to create public support for a war against Cuba. Code named Operation Northwoods, the plans reportedly included the possible assassination of Cuban émigrés, sinking boats of Cuban refugees on the high seas, hijacking planes, blowing up a U.S. ship, and even orchestrating violent terrorism in U.S. cities.

For humans, nothing exists outside the human experience!

I refer to a minority of humans who assume authority over the less aware or educated based on the absurd claim they represent the ‘divine’ or speak for ‘God,’ you know, that all-powerful entity that requires man’s help to express ‘his/her’ ideas -- ridiculous! (story and 1 image)

 Pentagon exploring robot killers that can fire on their own

WASHINGTON — The unmanned bombers that frequently cause unintended civilian casualties in Pakistan are a step toward an even more lethal generation of robotic hunters-killers that operate with limited, if any, human control. (story and 1 comment and 1 image and 1 attached file)

Fitzy under the whip!
Captain, Wednesday, Mar 25 2009, 11:51pm
Only political fools and the masses believe in conveniences and coincidences, Fitzy; watch your back (Labor and other) daggers are out for you!
While Kevin is conveniently in Washington, Defence Minister, Joel Fitzgibbon, is ‘under the whip’ in more ways than one. The latest attempted compromise relates to the Minister’s relationship with a ‘Chinese business woman;’ we certainly have a wealth of information on that particular genus, especially the tall Asian wonder that hopped from one Telstra executive's bed to another -- accruing vital information as she plied her pussy for the homeland. It was fun watching her jump into jaguars driven by old fart execs and other chauffeur driven vehicles – they just couldn’t resist; too fuckin easy, mate! (story and 2 comments and 1 image)

Emma Alberici via talya, Tuesday, Mar 24 2009, 5:51am
The city of London is bracing for widespread disruption over the next week as protesters plan a wave of anti-capitalist demonstrations in the lead-up to the G20 summit of world leaders next week.
Police have warned workers in the financial district to dress down and not draw attention to themselves as protesters target bankers in what is feared will be violent clashes on the scale of the May Day anti-globalisation protests from 2000 and 2001. (story and 1 image)

I can add too!
angry citizen, Sunday, Mar 22 2009, 1:45am
This comment has been upgraded because it makes sense 'across the board' -- something that Executive elites have been unable to do for years! Anyone that has any assets whatsoever in the 'stock market' -- for the want of a more accurate term -- could be best described today as a fool's FOOL!
Angry citizen's comment puts the entire financial meltdown in contextual perspective -- see how THEY run! Use it like a hot knife when dealing with the 'butter' explanations of shysters and banksters. It certainly frames the article from Rolling Stone's, Matt Taibbi, in the comment section very nicely indeed -- a great read, Matt! Never forget the CURRENT REALITY and how we got here and WHO was responsible. Never again fall for the meaningless gibberish of 'experts' that reality BRANDS as thieves and liars -- simple! I'll leave you to the perfect deductions of an honest angry citizen! Ed. (story and 2 comments and 1 image)

Introducing the New Canada!
nano, Saturday, Mar 21 2009, 11:54pm
In a political inversion that defies all reason and rational thought, the Canadian government recently barred a British MP from entering the country while welcoming, with warm embraces, a notorious mass murderer and war criminal! No prizes for guessing the identity of the notorious war criminal, George W Bush; however, some people in North America may not be familiar with the outspoken British MP, George Galloway, who I would add is NOT guilty of deceit, leading to the mass murder of over one million INNOCENT Iraqis!

Restoring our Financial Sovereignty
Nikki Alexander via quin, Friday, Mar 20 2009, 7:43am
Prologue
When Benjamin Franklin was called before the British Parliament in 1757 and asked to account for the prosperity in the American colonies. He replied, "That is simple. In the colonies we issue our own money. It is called Colonial Scrip. We issue it in proper proportion to the demands of trade and industry to make the products pass easily from the producers to the consumers. In this manner, creating for ourselves our own paper money, we control its purchasing power, and we have no interest to pay to no one."
It was the struggle for financial sovereignty that precipitated the American Revolution when the (Rothschild) Bank of England forced the colonies to give up their Scrip and intense poverty followed. (story and 2 comments and 1 image)

Some of Cayce's Predictions

Recent events have warranted the upgrade of this comment -- originally to article 304 -- to story status. The principal considerations for the upgrade relate to relevancy and timeliness.
The sheer beauty and power of Nature's forces may have also influenced our decision; 'let her rip, Gaia -- way to go!' (story and 1 comment and 1 image)

Dollar Crisis In The Making
W Joseph Stroupe via reed, Monday, Mar 16 2009, 9:42am
Increasingly ominous clouds are gathering in what could soon be the perfect storm against the United States dollar and against the present dollar-centric global financial order.
This is not shaping up to be a storm that anyone is trying to initiate, not even those who are actively driving for a new global financial order that is no longer centered on the dollar. Instead, it will result from a correlation of forces arising out of the deepening global financial and economic crises, coupled with recurring and conspicuous miscalculation on the part of some of the world's political, financial and economic leaders.
