 And the House came Tumbling Down
stylus, Friday, Sep 23 2011, 11:34am
What a tragedy for NATO and the Libyan people that CIA-backed rebels are further from securing -- for any length of time -- any Libyan territory whatsoever. Today the situation continues to deteriorate and is worse than at any time during the West’s criminal ‘humanitarian’ bombing campaign. Oil Transnationals and the Reserve Banking cartel behind this and every other conflict/war raging today, now stand in full view of the world AND HISTORY with their pants around their ankles revealing -- for those equipped with a magnifying glass -- their tiny, FEAR-retracted penises!

 The People Support Politicians that Support the People
nano, Friday, Sep 23 2011, 1:13am
In view of the above self-evident Truth, why are today’s politicians UNIVERSALLY REVILED by the masses? The question is almost rhetorical as the answer is obvious – TODAY’S POLITICIANS DO NOT SUPPORT THE MAJORITY BUT INSTEAD SERVE MINORITY INTERESTS THAT ARE DIAMETRICALLY OPPOSED TO THE INTERESTS OF THE MAJORITY!

US economy, cot case!
Brendan Conway via stan, Thursday, Sep 22 2011, 2:13pm
NEW YORK (Dow Jones)--Investors staged a global flight from risk Thursday that sent U.S. stocks plummeting and 10-year Treasury yields to 1940s levels, after a gloomy outlook by the Federal Reserve renewed fears of a global economic slowdown.

Bankers and Corporations really 'care' [about THEIR profits]
eddy, Thursday, Sep 22 2011, 8:45am
Borderless, stateless Transnationals, corrupt and poison EVERYTHING they touch. They are rogue, stateless entities exploiting everything and answering to no one. Every war waged since the Balkan intervention has had Corporatists behind it. Millions of innocents have died so a few, profit only driven, psychopaths could turn a decadent buck.
In Australia Transnationals rape, plunder and POLLUTE OUR environment and then take over 80% of the profits offshore. They own our servile, 'Carbon Tax' politicians and continue to corrupt every level of government in the country.

Wall St Sips Champagne While Watching Protesters
citizen, Wednesday, Sep 21 2011, 11:01pm
A nation that fails to learn from history is doomed to repeat it -- in this case a direct reference to the insularity of aristocrats (elitists) and the fomenting 'French' revolution is unmistakeable.
It will end badly for arrogant, insular, elitist criminals. A PR stunt gone horribly wrong for Wall St, no doubt, but thanks heaps. You have been outmanoeuvred at every turn and we know where you live -- the Forbes 'headless 400' - LOL! (story and 1 image)

Criminal Empire, Criminal War
Gareth Porter via gan, Wednesday, Sep 21 2011, 10:27pm
[Hard learning] American forces in Central Asia are engaging in outright crime in their futile attempts to gain control of the region. I refer to targeted criminal assassinations, euphemistically referred to by the Corporate military as, "night raids." Those who do not learn from history are forced to repeat it -- the well known adage here applies.
The US utilised EXACTLY the same tactic in Vietnam -- then known as the PHOENIX PROGRAM -- assassinating thousands of innocent individuals on rumour alone. The result, as history clearly teaches us, was the fueling of HUGE OPPOSITION to American forces, which eventually culminated in a humiliating DEFEAT for the INEPT EMPIRE, nothing has changed today.

Impending Global Economic Collapse
quill, Tuesday, Sep 20 2011, 11:07pm
The IMF issued a warning today (see link) that the GLOBAL ECONOMY is in dire straits, however, spokespersons were careful to understate the gravity of the situation. Nonetheless, couched in misleading metaphors and the coded language of deceptive economists – ‘headwinds,’ indeed -- is the TRUTH of an imminent collapse! Anyone with ‘eyes’ to see can see. The collapse of ’08 is now entering terminal stage. The global economy was never in recovery just on life support with printed toilet paper money which quickly evaporated in the mad UNREGULATED rush to cover criminal debts and HIDE HUGE INSOLVENCIES. White collar thieves continued to shower themselves in more bonuses while the moron masses remained passive, watching the remainder of their real funds get sucked into the bottomless pit of an impossible recovery – how’s your super going, morons?

The Truth and Obama
Chris Hedges via gan, Monday, Sep 19 2011, 11:29pm
The truth is Obama never fell from anything, he was always a resource of the REAL executive powers, a selectee! NEVER forget the powers offered the US presidency to Colin Powell first, 'community organiser' Obama was a very poor second choice, as duped America is discovering today. Obama ALWAYS served minority elite interests to whom he is COMPLETELY beholden! Nevertheless, Hedges' essay is refreshingly gritty, honest and ACCURATE; his willingness to confront the REALITY of American politics and the servile president separates him from the bought herd of media slaves and commentators that continue to present Obama as some sort of authority figure -- Obama was placed in the presidency to serve the UNREPRESENTATIVE, minority interests that placed him there.

The US integrates Oz into its Global Missile 'Defence'
darcy, Monday, Sep 19 2011, 1:07pm
America's latest colonial outpost, AUSTRALIA, is to be utilised as an offensive military launchpad against China, should it ever challenge US hegemony. The first stage of Gillard's treasonous sell out has begun.
Aussie citizens are no doubt overjoyed at the prospect of becoming primary nuclear targets but America could care less, Australia has always been viewed as an exploitable piece of convenient real estate populated by beer swilling, uninformed drongos. (story and 1 image)

Google to Face Senate Hearings
nano, Sunday, Sep 18 2011, 11:37am
Before I proceed with surveillance and information juggernaut Google, I would like to address the “too big to …..,” issue.
Only a few decades past, media concentration laws prohibited the formation of the HUGE information and media companies that exist today -- a direct result of relentless political lobbying and ‘sweetening’ by minority interests. I would also like to draw attention to the changes in society’s mobility, freedoms and liberties that have contracted as media concentration in fewer hands has increased – an undeniable correlation exists between the two phenomena.

Libya’s and Serbia’s COWARDLY ally, CHINA
stan, Saturday, Sep 17 2011, 12:20am
The cowardly Chinese (dog) ambassador to the UN, Li Baodong, said Friday that China would “continue to support” (?) the Libyan people in their efforts to maintain sovereignty, well, ya could’ve fooled me and the rest of the world! ‘Support’ like that no one needs! One can only wonder what Gaddafi thinks of his gutless ally today. Yes, indeed, China WAS regarded as ally and friend by the Libyan people as it was by the Serbian people that is, until China showed its TRUE COLOUR, YELLOW as in COWARD! (story and 2 comments)

Mormon Presidential Candidate Praises Psychopath Cheney
stan, Thursday, Sep 15 2011, 11:16am
Mormon Republican candidate, Mitt ‘tell ‘em anything’ Romney, recently revealed during a Town Hall in Arizona that he is an ardent admirer of Dick Cheney; "that's the kind of person I'd like to have [as vice-president] -- a person of wisdom and judgment," what! Let’s not dwell too long on the fact that Cheney is a shameless torturer, war criminal and textbook psychopath, but he’s the kind of person Romney believes is capable of leading a nuclear superpower, but to where Mr. ‘white horse prophesy?’ Many Mormons believe a prophesy which describes a time when the nation is brought to its knees by rampant corruption, crime, immorality, disastrous policies and lack of moral leadership. A Mormon, in the nick of time, wins the presidency and leads the nation out of the mire to salvation in ‘Salt Lake City,’ not quite but you get the drift. (story and 1 image)

The 9/11 Ruse
Michael Parenti via reed, Wednesday, Sep 14 2011, 11:15pm
For more than a week--and extending into September 12 and probably continuing a while longer-- the American media have saturated the airwaves with 9/11 stories including sad tragic tales of friends of people who knew relatives who were lost or affected in some way by the terrible attacks of ten years ago. We kept hearing how we as a people and a nation "were never the same after 9/11." (So we might as well bomb Afghanistan for ten years and destroy Iraq and now Libya.)

Time and Reality
lark, Wednesday, Sep 14 2011, 12:21pm
Time, that dynamic arbitrary form of measure upon which all western culture rides simply does not exist. We, everything exists in an indestructible continuum which is verifiable as continuous experience. Arguments attempting to validate an arbitrary form of measure (time) in an infinite continuum are absurd, have you ever attempted to introduce the ‘past’ or ‘future’ into the voluptuous, explosive present/NOW? At best we are only able to veil continuous reality with allusions (false notions) fictions and myths, even memory is a process that occurs in the present; is anyone able to experience the past in the past or future in the future? NO! All experience/reality is NOW, including what we imagine the past or future to be. Put simply nothing exists or has ever existed outside the (continuous) present -- disbelievers, please try in vain to produce the past or future! (story and 2 images)

‘Our’ Politicians: who do they really serve?
snowy, Tuesday, Sep 13 2011, 2:59pm
Remember the days when our pollies had acute survival instincts and gauged PUBLIC OPINION and support and dreaded any loss in popularity? One characteristic they all shared regardless of stripe was a strong survival instinct. When politicians lost popularity/support they quickly adjusted their tactics and policies to more closely align to the public will – yes, indeed those days reflected representative DEMOCRACY or majority rule, the PUBLIC groaned and our pollies jumped!

The Libyan Deal in a Nutshell
baz, Tuesday, Sep 13 2011, 9:18am
The US/NATO gets to steal the Oil and other energy resources – after a massive ‘humanitarian’ bombing campaign – and their al-Qaeda, fundamentalist, jihadist allies on the ground get government with western approval to impose sharia law. A retrograde move for the Libyan people but do Western Corporatist forces behind this criminal war give a damn once they have what they want?
