  Scientific Study Confirms Corporatists Run the World
Andy Coghlan and Debora MacKenzie via gan, Friday, Oct 21 2011, 8:11am
AS protests against financial power sweep the world this week, science may have confirmed the protesters' worst fears. An analysis of the relationships between 43,000 transnational corporations has identified a relatively small group of companies, mainly banks, with disproportionate power over the global economy.

 Gaddafi Reported Murdered by CIA backed Rebel Forces
judd, Thursday, Oct 20 2011, 8:28am
Mixed reports of Col. Gaddafi's capture/death are coming from confused, disparate rebel forces in Libya; however, it is improbably that the US/NATO would allow a captured Gaddafi to stand trial as the experience with Saddam proved compromising and counter-productive. We can all safely assume that reports of Gaddafi's death are accurate, as it was only a matter of time before the might of the US/NATO criminal alliance prevailed over a most wily and irritating African foe.

American invasion of all Africa under way -- China and Russia look on in Dismay
John 'better late than never' Pilger via quin, Wednesday, Oct 19 2011, 9:42pm
On 14 October, President Barack Obama announced he was sending United States special forces troops to Uganda to join the civil war there. In the next few months, US combat troops will be sent to South Sudan, Congo and Central African Republic. They will only “engage” for “self-defence”, says Obama, satirically. With Libya secured, an American invasion of the African continent is under way.

Global Resource Wars: US vs China
darcy, Tuesday, Oct 18 2011, 10:49pm
While the Corporate media DISTRACTS with non-issue news like the DO-NOTHING ‘Occupy’ spectacle, some correspondents are covering REAL news stories; I am referring to the American confrontation with China and the neo-colonial US push for African resources in nations where China has billions already invested -- America/NATO has recently demonstrated in Libya it respects no Chinese claims, investments or established business arrangements, regardless of all the lies and false promises given to Beijing.

Solution to the Impending Banking Crisis
tyco, Monday, Oct 17 2011, 11:29pm
Wake up, the banks are broke, INSOLVENT and ready to fall hard. First Europe then the US, Asia and the rest -- the global Reserve Banking System has FAILED. [In reality the Reserve Banking Cartel created the crisis via its financial (non-productive) profiteering and FRAUD. It bled the global coffers dry and now it (very temporarily) sustains itself on printing toilet paper money -- LUDICROUS! (story and 2 comments)

Ongoing GLOBAL Economic Crisis -- Unpayable debt and insolvency in Europe
Bob Chapman via stan, Saturday, Oct 15 2011, 9:42am
The big question is will Greece succumb to insolvency in November? Our answer is probably not. It should take 3 to 6 months but it is coming no matter how much money and credit is thrown at the problem. The markets on the short-term basis believe it is a coin toss. If the funds are not forthcoming you could see a 60-80 percent haircut on bond losses. If it is 3 to 6 months it will probably be 100%. Many in Europe believe the Merkel-Sarkozy team has a plan that will work, but as yet we do not know what that plan is. In spite of that the euro this past week rallied from $1.32 to $1.38 as the US dollar fell lower.

Afghanistan: 10 Years of NATO Genocide and War Crimes
reed, Saturday, Oct 8 2011, 10:37am
The illegal war and occupation of Afghanistan recently marked its 10 anniversary; yet the core reasons offered by western elites for the invasion and continuing occupation today have no foundation in reality. Indeed, the FBI has never listed Bin Laden as wanted for the 9/11 attacks; nevertheless, Afghanistan was criminally invaded for the benefit of Oil Companies and Banking elites.

The Money Masters: Behind the Global Debt Crisis
Adrian Salbuchi via stan, Monday, Sep 26 2011, 9:57am
In the US, we see untold millions suffering from the impact of mass foreclosures and unemployment; in Greece, Spain, Portugal, Ireland, and Italy, stringent austerity measures are imposed upon the whole population; all coupled with major banking collapses in Iceland, the UK and the US, and indecent bail-outs of “too-big-to-fail” bankers (Newspeak for too powerful to fail).

Economic Collapse and the Dollar Crisis
Bob Chapman via sal, Saturday, Sep 24 2011, 9:28am
It is no secret that the Fed, Bank of England, Bank of Japan and the Swiss national Banks are going to provide dollars to European banks that are the victims of American lenders who have pulled their funds out of Europe for fear of losing their investments. They are phasing out an orderly fashion. The commitments of these central banks are doing three things putting their citizens at more financial risk; driving inflation higher; aiding in the increase in gold prices and following a path they already know is doomed to failure. The players did not want a replay of the Lehman Affair of just three years ago, or the ongoing immediate consequences. (story and 1 image)

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.

Convoys leaving Libya have fuelled speculation on Gaddafi deal with Rebels
Martin Fletcher via stele, Wednesday, Sep 7 2011, 10:38am
Reports emerged yesterday of convoys of vehicles heading south across the border. The reports gave rise to feverish speculation that Colonel Gaddafi and perhaps his sons had finally abandoned the land for which they had vowed to die fighting. (story and 1 comment)

NATO's criminal attack on Libya is new strategic push to the South
Andrew Rettman via gan, Monday, Sep 5 2011, 9:08am
You can trust NATO and the US like you can trust a Cobra.
People are apt to forget that the West went to great pains to befriend Gaddafi after previous US attacks and attempts on his life. Western forces offered many incentives, mutual co-operation and 'friendship' in order to ensure that Gaddafi dismantled his WMD programs. (story and 1 comment and 1 image)

Civil War Erupts On Wall Street
David DeGraw via judd, Saturday, Sep 3 2011, 11:47pm
Finally, after trillions in fraudulent activity, trillions in bailouts, trillions in printed money, billions in political bribing and billions in bonuses, the criminal cartel members on Wall Street are beginning to get what they deserve. As the Eurozone is coming apart at the seams and as the US economy grinds to a halt, the financial elite are starting to turn on each other. The lawsuits are piling up fast. Here’s an extensive roundup:

Russia Recognises LIbyan Rebels as Legitimate Representatives
Steven Erlanger via uri, Thursday, Sep 1 2011, 2:28am
The CFR controlled New York Times is running a story on the carve up of Libya, in the subtext of course. Readers will note words and expressions, like, "consolidate," "reconstruction" and "aid" -- naturally, after terrorist NATO illegally bombed/destroyed a VIABLE SOVEREIGN NATION, killing thousands of innocents in the process! What those words really signify is dividing up the spoils with criminally corrupt and complicit nations INCLUDING RUSSIA, you gutless, unprincipled dog, Putin! Visit Australia, if you have the balls -- for that opportunity I would break my cover, but be assured, you wouldn't be around to enjoy the proceedings. (story and 2 comments and 1 image)

Africa: Unite against US/NATO neo-colonialism or Face Re-conquest
sirius, Tuesday, Aug 30 2011, 10:44am
The civilian killing criminal travesty that is the US/NATO bombing campaign on Libya continues despite US Congressman Kuncinich exposing the pre-planned criminal 'intervention' on the floor of Congress. NATO, oblivious to the legal consequences of its actions, continues its saturation bombing of Gaddafi's home town of Sirte. Since the beginning of the NATO bombing campaign to 'protect civilians' thousands of civilians have been murdered by NATO and rebel forces!

US/NATO: Desperate search for Libyan Puppet Leader to replace Gaddafi
Chris Adams via reg, Tuesday, Aug 30 2011, 1:13am
The current TREASONOUS and universally reviled Australian PM, Julia Gillard, recently signed off on F-I-V-E new, full scale US military bases on Oz soil! Make no mistake, Oz currently only hosts foreign radar and surveillance bases NOT nuclear missile carrying air and sea craft soon to be stationed in Oz!
Gillard, under clear instruction from a FOREIGN POWER -- America -- has without debate or MANDATE compromised Australia's national security to the hilt. Her treasonous action has made Oz a PRIMARY NUCLEAR TARGET in the event of an American provoked conflict with OUR Asian neighbours, which has already been planned! (story and 2 comments)

From servile Ban Ki-moon through to every European and US CRIMINAL participant in this FAILED, grotesquely obvious MORALLY unjust, criminal war -- STAND RIGHTFULLY ACCUSED of TERRORISM, you criminal filth
The entire world is WITNESSING the horrid TRUTH unfold daily in Libya, as botched illegal assassination attempts and outrageous civilian killing, rape and ethnic cleansing continue under the PRETEXT of a 'humanitarian intervention;' would someone please dispense the medication to NATO and US officials -- you have 'BLOWN IT,' BIG TIME!

 Junkie Nation: $10 TRILLION goes 'missing' from Pentagon since '91

The lyrics of an old 70's song relate the tragedy of a father with a very destructive and costly habit, 'there's a hole in Daddy's arm where all the money goes.' You could imagine the sorry consequences, repercussions and conditions that such a 'family' had to endure. (story and 1 comment and 1 audio file)

Total collapse – Oz Stock Exchange in Free Fall
zed, Friday, Aug 5 2011, 11:18am
We have a strong ‘hole in the ground’ economy; nothing has changed in Oz or China, however, Wall St burped and the Oz stock market shit itself! This is the PRICE of Globalism. Perhaps now sovereign nation, sovereign wealth and national independent banks make sense, but our treasonous politicians, working tirelessly for the international banking elite, would rather Aussies suffer than see unelected, unrepresentative, Bankers and Corporatists take a tumble.
