 It's About Priorities
eve, Tuesday, Feb 21 2012, 8:51pm
War is NOT a priority, what is it good for, NOTHIN' ?
It serves minority criminal elites ONLY, at great cost to the planet and innocent human lives. It is TIME the people of the GLOBE learned that UNITY and friendly relations offer the only hope for future survival. AMERICA'S insatiable greed, permanent war doctrine and divisive ways are anathema to every living thing in this UNIVERSE -- make NO mistake, the plague on the planet that is indefinite detention, civilian killing, AMERICA must be ELIMINATED if the world hopes to live in peace, freedom and harmony.

Huge Turnout as Spaniards Protest Stripping of Labor Rights
staff report via gan, Monday, Feb 20 2012, 7:39am
Reminiscent of the half-million souls that turned out in LA protesting immigration laws some years back, Spaniards took to the streets across Spain in numbers that approached one million. These protests were/are designed to remind elite powers that everything was built on the backs of workers and not to take the masses for granted. (story and 1 image)

Acts of Love
Chris Hedges via ryall, Monday, Feb 20 2012, 6:49am
Love, the deepest human commitment, the force that defies empirical examination and yet is the defining and most glorious element in human life, the love between two people, between children and parents, between friends, between partners, reminds us of why we have been created for our brief sojourns on the planet. Those who cannot love—and I have seen these deformed human beings in the wars and conflicts I covered—are spiritually and emotionally dead. They affirm themselves through destruction, first of others and then, finally, of themselves. Those incapable of love [have] never lived. (story and 3 images)

Prelude to Release of Lab-mutated 'Armageddon' Virus
typhoid tom, Sunday, Feb 19 2012, 11:55pm
If two previous exposed attempts to create a deadly GLOBAL pandemic with lab-tweaked viruses over the past decade hadn't failed and received so much media attention this latest lab-created mutation of the bird flu virus -- easily infecting humans -- wouldn't have attracted my attention. However, we must ask why so much energy and funds have been directed toward creating this "Armageddon virus," as is it popularly known, in the first instance? It is plain to see that certain sick bastards are ready to release this man-made plague on humanity, probably this year. (story and 1 image)

Kevin Rudd the "psychopathic" Spoiler
baz, Sunday, Feb 19 2012, 8:20pm
Former PM and current 'infantile spoiler,' Kevin ‘non-event-photo op’ Rudd, is a psychopath, narcissist and ego-obsessed, according to ALP political insiders. The member for Bendigo, Steve Gibbons -- destined to lose his job if Gillard remains as leader -- was allocated the task of publicly articulating the sentiments of more than half the sitting Labor Party. Well, tell the Oz public something they don’t know!

The IMMORAL Majority
jude, Sunday, Feb 19 2012, 6:03am
Don’t kid yourselves, Americans are brutal and stupid the world knows, but they are NOT stupid to the point of falling for a repeat performance of the Iraq war ruse on Iran; do you also imagine that Americans fell for the ‘humanitarian intervention’ a la Kosovo style in Libya? Right again, almost a perfect repeat performance of the LIES that led to the illegal excision of Kosovo from sovereign Yugoslavia and the largest American military base of occupation (Bondsteel) in continental Europe. The LAW is meaningless where civilian killing America is concerned AND EVERY AMERICAN KNOWS IT! (story and 3 comments and 1 image)

Australian Labor Party Imploding
venom, Friday, Feb 17 2012, 8:14pm
The poisonous intrigues of the Australian Labor Party, especially the corrosive venom former vindictive leader Kevin 'non-event' Rudd continually sprays at sitting leader, Juliar 'carbon tax' Gillard, is tearing the Party apart. The solution is simple get rid of BOTH of them! The TOXIC DUO must be excised from the Party completely otherwise it runs the risk of years, possibly decades, outcast in the political wilderness. Be advised, Labor jellyfish! (story and 1 comment and 2 images)

Syria -- Quote of the Day
bea, Thursday, Feb 16 2012, 9:08pm
Kevin 'yes Rupert' Rudd, former PM of Oz, narcissist and servile no-account politician, made a dutiful (for CFR Murdoch and Washington) media statement today regarding the CIA fomented Syrian rebellion: "... we cannot stand idly by and watch innocent civilians being slaughtered," as we did when criminal NATO flew 26,000 bombing raids over Libya, murdering 30,000 innocent civilians in the process; the ICC didn't see a thing but Banking and Oil elites were extremely happy with the result -- criminal mission accomplished!

'Global Square' equals Global phishing Net
phiz, Thursday, Feb 16 2012, 8:20am
In principle an international platform from which activists could collaborate and discuss various issues and plan actions is a good idea but the current model reeks of the 'man' attempting to locate and net the growing hacktivist army of INVISIBLE/ANONYMOUS hackers -- it is this group that really has the man on the ropes so every effort will be made to locate and capture rogue crewz, solos and groups -- be aware and beware!

Clinton remains irresistible..and not just to women
George Galloway via baz, Wednesday, Feb 15 2012, 9:08pm
AROUND a decade ago I had a boilerplate gag in my speeches, which went something like this: "I'm in favour of us having a special relationship with the United States, I just don't want us to have the kind that Miss Lewinsky had with President Clinton. One sided, undignified, immoral and with the junior partner always on their knees."

Criminal Ruling Elites Own All Western Democracies
quill, Wednesday, Feb 15 2012, 9:49am
As minority criminal forces frenetically pursue war with Iran via their appropriated state and corporate apparatuses; the Pentagon, Judicial System, UN, partial Hague Courts and corporate mass media, I am reminded of the lunatics that nefarious elites place in power to do their biding -- Obama, Cameron, Gillard, Sarkozy, Merkel to name a few.

Delusionists Expect Justice in a Thoroughly Corrupt World
nano, Tuesday, Feb 14 2012, 11:03am
What legal tidbits have made news recently? The appalling miscarriage of justice regarding the sentence handed down to a convicted civilian killing US marine, three months and no jail time! The offender was directly involved in the infamous Haditha massacre; women, children and other unarmed civilians were herded together and deliberately shot in the back of the head by murdering US marines. This travesty is but one of many involving the US military that routinely terrorise, rape and murder innocent civilians and others in occupied countries. (story and 1 comment and 1 image)

Occupy, the protest movement you have in Wonderland
red queen, Tuesday, Feb 14 2012, 5:53am
Let's begin at the beginning, Occupy as a 'movement' goes nowhere; from day one to today it has effected NO CHANGE whatsoever. Videos of PASSIVE idiots allowing themselves to be sprayed with mace by sadistic police is hardly a victorious 'look' is it, vacuum heads? What sort of (defeatist) MESSAGE do mindless Occupy morons think they're sending to the public? To date Occupy has achieved NOTHING, it was and remains a dead-in-the-water STATIC 'movement,' please excuse the American contradictions but I am describing an American protest movement! We should ask why Occupy has achieved nothing POSITIVE to date? The obvious answer would be because it has no agenda, direction or ARTICULATED OBJECTIVES.

Greece is Burning

Fires raged in Athens overnight with reports that more than 40 buildings had been set ablaze in a violent response to the Greek parliament's passage of an unpopular austerity package negotiated with its European creditors - the EU, ECB, and IMF - in exchange for a tranche of new bailout funds.
