 GOOGLE faces slap on wrist for numerous Breaches and other Crimes
quill, Friday, Apr 29 2011, 10:21pm
Spying Search Engine (CIA partnership) Surveillance and Data Trawling Juggernaut GOOGLE faces a $50 million slap on wrist lawsuit for illegal location tracking; however, with the CIA in tow and its overall Billions in profits, $50m amounts to very little. Surely it is high time Corporate CEOs were JAILED for illegal activities -- fines are clearly NOT strong enough disincentives, as they do not impact Executives directly responsible for the crimes committed. Restoring social integrity and eliminating government and judicial corruption is as easy as enforcing the LAW and dispensing appropriate sentences/PENALTIES! (story and 2 comments and 1 image)

 The Libyan War, American Power and the Decline of the Petrodollar System
Peter Dale Scott via nano, Friday, Apr 29 2011, 9:15am
The present NATO campaign against Gaddafi in Libya has given rise to great confusion, both among those waging this ineffective campaign, and among those observing it. Many whose opinions I normally respect see this as a necessary war against a villain – though some choose to see Gaddafi as the villain, and others point to Obama.

Irrelevant Royal Wedding backgrounds REAL News
bluey, Friday, Apr 29 2011, 6:26am
Australian TV gives blanket coverage to prince Billy and his new wife Kate the commoner – let’s hope SHE doesn’t fuck her riding instructor and have his bastard son! That’s the ugly truth of Billy’s mum, Diana the slut, of which the WORLD is fully aware, BUT who really cares? (story and 1 comment and 1 image)

TSA employee touches miss USA's CUNT numerous times
stele, Thursday, Apr 28 2011, 10:21am
I am known as a street rough and habitual cusser, not the sort of person easily upset, yet this video -- made spontaneously by Miss America, Susie Castillo, after being molested by a TSA employee -- I found extremely disturbing for a number of reasons, not least of which is the demeaning experience of having one's genitals groped in public by a perfect stranger!

FUKUSHIMA = 2,000 Atomic Bombs
Bob Nichols via dasha, Thursday, Apr 28 2011, 1:50am
(San Francisco) – Radioactive contamination equivalent to the Fukushima, Japan disaster in terms of the hated “Mushroom Cloud” Atomic Bombs is two thousand (2,000) 500 Kiloton Atomic Bombs.* Each 500kt Atomic Bomb is 33 times bigger than the American Bomb that destroyed Hiroshima on August 6, 1945.

Fed Chairman Bernanke holds theatrical press conference
Zachary Karabell via huang, Wednesday, Apr 27 2011, 11:25pm
Yesterday, Ben Bernanke departed from the silent, opaque tradition of the Federal Reserve and held a press conference. The event attracted considerable attention, for its novelty as much as for its substance. But those hoping that Bernanke would do his best imitation of Willy Wonka and reveal hidden facets of humor, complexity and charisma were, to say the least, disappointed. (story and 3 comments)

Cold Hard UNDENIABLE Truth
nano, Tuesday, Apr 26 2011, 10:57pm
While the mainstream media is buzzing with Middle East and North African CIA fomented revolts and ‘humanitarian’ (oil grabs) revolutions, failed regime change, criminal assassination attempts by the USA and puppet allies; western propagandists, now armed with software able to saturate social network sites with multiple accounts, have been careful to ensure that ‘their messages,’ on facefuck, twit-ter and yourtube(brain) outnumber the REAL person accounts carrying accurate information! But we’re not fooled by these media subterfuges, are we? At ‘least’ only about 90 moronic percent of us at any rate! (story and 4 comments)

WikiLeaks: Pakistani Intel ISI Considered Terrorists by US
staff report via gan, Tuesday, Apr 26 2011, 10:44am
'Anyone linked to Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence Directorate should be treated like Al-Qaeda or Taliban,' Guantanamo interrogators advised. Makes you wonder about former test cricketer Imran Khan's sudden and very public opposition to US Drone strikes in Pakistan -- where have you been hiding over the past few criminal Drone strike years, Imran, and who (USA) supports you now?

UN report: Sri Lanka committed war crimes
M Krishnamoorthy via stele, Tuesday, Apr 26 2011, 9:58am
Years after the events and release of numerous videos depicting Sinhalese troops summarily executing Tamils, the UN finally confirms the KNOWN but adds that it is powerless to act on this report! Interesting stance in view of all the American (and Israeli) criminal interventions over the past decade the UN approved -- the 'humanitarian' Libyan Oil grab rages as I write.
Since these war crimes were committed, Sri Lanka has politically and strategically befriended Russia and China even though US Drones and satellite information assisted the Sri Lankan military in eliminating LTTE rebels.

Corporatists Conducting Illegal Surveillance
Yukari Iwatani Kane via Kismo, Tuesday, Apr 26 2011, 12:26am
Once again Corporatists have been busted conducting illegal surveillance on citizens. Steve Jobs of Apple is squealing that his company doesn't track and record users' locations, he points the finger squarely at data and communications juggernaut, GOOGLE; however, there's that 'little matter' of undeclared keystroke recording on iPhones, Steve, you reprehensible lying, Corporatist, pig! Corporatists are ALL tarred with the same brush and will suffer the same fate for turning on the people.
We should never forget that LIAR Eric Schmidt, CEO of Google, formed an unholy surveillance partnership with the CIA after stating publicly that Google wouldn't abuse data information -- I mean the SPYING, MURDERING, CIA, Schmidt, for Christ's sake! (story and 1 comment and 1 image)

Pakistanis Rally Against [criminal] US Drone Strikes
Aizaz Mohmand via jalal, Monday, Apr 25 2011, 12:30pm
Outraged Pakistanis are finally expressing opposition to the civilian killing US Drone campaign in the NW Frontier region of Pakistan. After numerous missile strikes against women, children and village leaders, the long suffering people of Pakistan have had enough of American MURDER portrayed in the Western media as legitimate warfare.
Injustice has turned to rage in many regions of the world, common PEOPLE in Muslim nations are aware that the US has no mandate from any organisation on the planet to MURDER CIVILIANS -- which it does almost daily with its imprecise, cowardly Drone weaponry. (story and 1 image)

America: Corporate State, Criminal State
gan, Monday, Apr 25 2011, 9:00am
WikiLeaks has released a trove of files relating to Guantanamo Bay and its inmates. We refer researchers to mirror sites for details; however, we would mention one outstanding FACT the files reveal: one hundred and fifty (150) illegally detained inmates were KNOWN to authorities to be innocent of terrorist activities, yet these Muslims presented an awkward propaganda dilemma for the criminal, civilian killing, TORTURING, US military and White House – how many probing questions would criminally corrupt authorities be required to answer if it became widely known that some of the so-called, “worst of the worst,” were in fact INNOCENT?

US atrocities reach all time high in Afghanistan
Zia Sarhadi via dasha, Sunday, Apr 24 2011, 10:10am
The USA national debt is over fourteen (14) trillion dollars and counting. If you wonder where the money to fight America's criminal wars comes from just ask Ben Bernanke of the privately owned Federal Reserve Bank and he'll euphemistically inform you that he prints it on demand from thin air -- nice trick Banksters!.
Until such time as China and Russia dump their dollar reserves in one giant unified action, they too indirectly support all America's criminal wars. The list grows from the Balkans through to Libya due to dollar support. Is there a better way to ensure world supremacy than by blackmailing (or corrupting) nations to trade in dollars while maintaining the unique ability to print as many as you wish? If YOU want peace then refuse to trade or deal in US dollars -- that simple!

State Legal Institutions thoroughly Corrupt
quill, Sunday, Apr 24 2011, 1:15am
American puppet president Obama and the reprehensibly servile Australian PM, Julia Gillard, have legal backgrounds and so are clearly AWARE of the legal implications of their actions. Both have PUBLICLY declared the criminal 'guilt' of Julian Assange and Bradley Manning (respectively) PRIOR to any trial or even a charge being laid in the instance of Assange.
