 Why is there no news from Libya?

Answer: because the news does not favour the western criminal interests that demolished the country. (story and 1 comment)

 Karachi: Over 100,000 Protest Illegal US Drone Strikes
jalal, Saturday, Jan 28 2012, 9:09pm
While the US announces it will cut funds to its regular army/military, it not so subtly channelled those funds to support new, high-tech weapons and robotic warfare strategies. The problem is, as the world is well aware, robot Drones are war crime weapons, as they indiscriminately kill countless civilians -- and killing civilians (“bugsplat”) in war constitutes a war crime, for everyone except the US and NATO it would seem!

'Trawled' Data Revealed the Identities of Gillard Protest Informants
lynx, Friday, Jan 27 2012, 8:37pm
Unencrypted voice data illegally trawled from mobile networks by 'big brother' has revealed the identities of two individuals allegedly responsible for informing aboriginal protesters of the location of opposition leader Tony Abbott and treasonous PM, Juliar 'Goldman Tax' Gillard -- both of whom are legal parliamentary representatives of the Queen! This issue actually goes straight to LONDON, the Palace and international criminal courts for the heinous crimes of GENOCIDE and cultural annihilation. But first a note on security and surveillance!

 ACTA: The Corporate Usurpation of the Internet
Nile Bowie via fleet, Friday, Jan 27 2012, 4:45am
In the wake of a public outcry against internet regulation bills such as SOPA and PIPA, representatives of the EU have signed a new and far more threatening legislation yesterday in Tokyo. Spearheaded by the governments of the United States and Japan and constructed largely in the absence of public awareness, the measures of the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) dramatically alter current international legal framework, while introducing the first substantial processes of global internet governance. With complete contempt towards the democratic process, the negotiations of the treaty were exclusively held between industry representatives and government officials, while excluding elected representatives and members of the press from their hearings.

Censorship on Twitter
staff report via sy, Thursday, Jan 26 2012, 7:19pm
Google and CIA business partner have been selectively suppressing information for years that is why Google is facing anti-trust commissions/courts around the globe. Facebook will soon begin some form of selective censorship as pressure mounts to WITHHOLD critical information from society. Elites figure they've got you hooked on social networks so people will accept Orwellian information control, hence the open disclosure of Twitter entering the censorship business.

Ya Can't Fool Putin!
Tass via penny, Thursday, Jan 26 2012, 6:50am
Former KGB and current diminutive Russian leader, Vladimir Putin, seems to have finally got the picture after a DECADE of illegal American military expansionism and CONSTANT war. Putin accused the USA of attempting to "dominate the world" (ya kiddin' me, Vladimir!) One wonders where Putin was during the Russian RETREAT from the Balkans, which set the STAGE for unopposed American expansionism. The US learned then that Russia HAD NO BALLS or principles! You will always be remembered as a diminutive, yelping, cowardly DOG, Putin! (story and 1 image)

Indigenous Aussies Launch Spontaneous Attack on Oz PM Gillard
warra, Wednesday, Jan 25 2012, 11:15pm
Incensed by comments opposition leader Abbott made, inferring that Aborigines were better off today, a group of protesters from the Aboriginal tent embassy in Canberra surrounded a Restaurant the PM and opposition leader were lunching in.
There is no doubt that security was caught flat-footed by the surprise protest, the fear on Gillard's face was palpable. Perhaps now she realises a little of the terror her US support/policies inflict on others.
As representatives of the mass murdering British Crown, Aboriginal protesters were justified in their non-violent attack on Gillard and Abbott. Justice MUST be served and compensation/reparations made for genocide and the destruction of numerous tribal cultures. Notwithstanding pursuing criminal proceedings in local and international courts against the Crown and Australian government for their GENOCIDAL policies and heinous treatment of indigenous Australians since the colonial invasion.

Obama Delivers State of Delusion Address
rumple, Wednesday, Jan 25 2012, 9:37pm
PUPPET president Obama dutifully delivered his rehearsed and scripted State of the Union address to a socially aware America/WORLD recently; and as the majority noted, the one outstanding feature of this address was its COMPLETE disconnect from SOCIAL REALITY. I mean, who is Obama and his handlers trying to kid? So completely divorced from REALITY was the entire mad hatters address that it beggared belief -- one can only wonder who is prescribing the (wrong) medication for the executive these days! The insular dunces that wrote the diatribe really need to get out more. Even the long-suffering, under-educated, spineless American population viewed the entire charade with the cynicism it deserved.

US 'Justice': A Marine who Murdered Women and Children gets 3 Months
staff report via stele, Monday, Jan 23 2012, 8:50pm
As if to 'stick it' to the entire CIVILISED World, the US military -- now legally empowered by Obama to DETAIN civilians/anyone anywhere on suspicion, INDEFINITELY -- handed down a THREE month sentence to one of their own for MURDERING unarmed women and children in Haditha, Iraq -- have we had enough of this arrogant, CRIMINALLY CORRUPT NATION, YET? It is painfully apparent that War Crimes seem to apply to everyone EXCEPT the US military. So, how's this for a variation on a recent US theme: 'we came, we saw, we assassinated!' Brazen CORRUPTION and lawlessness gives license to EVERYONE to respond IN KIND! (story and 6 comments and 1 image)

MegaUpload Case -- US Seeks Dominion Over Cyberspace
Brett Winterford via Kismo, Sunday, Jan 22 2012, 8:19pm
Have we had enough of America's 'permanent war,' 'indefinite detention,' neo-fascist policies or should we ALLOW the US to harness and control Cyberspace -- that is the principal issue behind the Assange and MegaUpload cases?
Not content with illegally invading weaker nations, plundering and killing thousands of innocent civilians -- all in the name of PROFIT -- the clearly criminal US now seeks dominion over Cyberspace, the last truly FREE social space left to humanity. (story and 1 comment)

Google (and other media) Suppress Ron Paul
sysadmin, Friday, Jan 20 2012, 10:29pm
The story linked below covers Ron Paul introducing legislation on the floor of the House to REPEAL the plainly Nazi 'indefinite detention without trial or charge' provision in the NDAA, which shameless PUPPET president Obama signed into law on New Year's eve -- dig that for timing -- notwithstanding that Obama said he would veto the provision! But the WORLD has learned over the past four years that Obama reneges on all his promises and pledges, moreso than any other politician ON EARTH (suckers) -- so much for president 'INTEGRITY!'

FBI Responds to SOPA Protests with Shutdowns and Warrants
staff report via lyn, Thursday, Jan 19 2012, 10:19pm
Twenty four hours after Internet advocates held a GLOBAL online protest objecting to proposed anti-piracy legislation, which they claim is censorship at its worst and overreach at best, one of the world's largest file-sharing sites, MegaUpload.com, was shuttered by the FBI and arrest warrants served in New Zealand! [Draconian information control necessarily follows totalitarian Indefinite Detention law in the face of widespread, SUSTAINED, social paralysis/INACTION. As occurred in Nazi Germany, the best thing the civilised and educated German MASSES could do to stop Fascism's swift rise, was sit with their thumbs up their arses!] (story and 2 comments and 1 image)
