Al Gore's Role in the Goldman Sachs Carbon Con
Richard Pollock via baz, Sunday, Jan 2 2011, 7:42pm
Major Corporate Polluters must be penalised in order to stem the flow of poisons into the environment and as we are aware Corporations PATHOLOGICALLY avoid additional costs. WE must therefore exercise constant VIGILANCE in order to prevent polluters avoiding or shifting responsibility to the public.
The Corporate sector makes astronomical PROFITS that are easily able to absorb the additional cost of cleaner energy production. The Corporations have for far too long avoided safety and low pollution protocols, which decease their profits. It is time that their ill gotten gains were utilised for compensation, reparation and clean energy. Whether or not those additional costs result in low profits is not an issue, as it is the planet and life on earth at stake.
The Corporations must not be allowed to AVOID RESPONSIBILITY and SHIFT the BLAME and COSTS of THEIR polluting onto others. Goldman Sachs (and friends) would have the public pay for their mistakes while continuing to extract profits. The following article reveals the sordid machinations behind the plan to create enormous profits from Carbon Trading. (story and 1 comment and 1 image)

Australian Federal Police supplied ‘hit lists’ to special forces in Afghanistan
Stephen C. Webster via gan, Tuesday, Dec 28 2010, 7:59pm
[A revealing article on the expansion of police powers around the globe, which any healthy society would welcome but for questions of corruption and bias.
The Interpol listed (since the 90's) crime boss, Hashim Thaci, Prime Minister of the illegally excised Serbian province of Kosovo has enjoyed the protection of the USA and its allies since they installed him as puppet PM of the illegally appropriated territory, which also houses the largest US military base in continental Europe. It seems that KNOWN murderers, drug traffickers, arms dealers, white slavers and human organ dealers are only enemies if they do not work for the US/NATO Organised Crime Syndicate -- if the shoe fits, wear it!]
The Australian Federal Police (AFP) are banned from contributing to military operations, yet they helped to compile "hit lists" of drug traffickers in the Afghan capital of Kabul, a leaked US diplomatic cable reportedly revealed. (story and 1 comment and 1 image)

Jim Bergamo via stan, Friday, Dec 24 2010, 10:03pm
Early Wednesday morning, a computer glitch shut down a security checkpoint for a couple of hours at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport. The line snaked out the door as many travelers waited for more than an hour and some missed their flights. One of the first people in line after that shutdown never made it through. She was arrested and banned from the airport.

Some Americans Lament the Rapid Decline of their Nation
Michael Brenner via reed, Thursday, Dec 16 2010, 6:53pm
The casual way that Americans are shredding their liberties is breathtaking. Rights that have been revered as the nation's spiritual heirloom for 225 years are cast aside like so many disposable keepsakes. Only a people confused by runaway emotions, and forgetful of their identity, can act with such feckless abandon.

U.S. seeks to build WikiLeaks conspiracy case
JoAnne Allen and Todd Eastham via gan, Wednesday, Dec 15 2010, 10:35pm
[The world's leading civilian killing nation will stop at nothing to destroy the man that revealed the sordid Truth of American war crimes and the heinous LIES in relation to American wars of plunder in the 21st Century.
How many INNOCENT civilians have we killed in Drone strikes today, America -- notwithstanding the millions previously murdered in the illegal invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan? Drone warfare makes a mockery of every Court and International Convention against war crimes and other crimes against humanity. Perhaps it may be time to RESTORE JUSTICE and LAW and RESIST American war crimes rather than support the persecution of an man that America would see silenced. It is time for every person of conscience to RESIST the USA on EVERY FRONT! Ed.] (story and 1 comment)

Stock Plummets as Bank of America Pre-Empts WikiLeaks' Revelations
AFP Wire via reed, Monday, Dec 13 2010, 8:16pm
The rumour alone that WikiLeaks is about to expose CORPORATE criminal behaviour on Wall St has sent US Banks and Corporatists scurrying like the Lying Criminal Rodents they are!
If anyone doubted the service WikiLeaks renders to society then doubt no more, Bank of America shares ceased their freefall after boardroom Execs decided to admit liability and criminal behaviour, something they never would have contemplated without the threat of exposure hanging over their heads -- JAIL the bastards!

Legal fury at 'war on free speech'

The enduring memory of former Oz PM, John 'deputy sheriff' Howard, protruding from George W Bush's rectum has taught the Australian people a lesson they will not soon forget. While their servile governments kowtow to foreign powers the people will no longer abandon their own -- FUCK cringing politicians in Canberra and fuck mafia Washington; we DEMAND FREEDOM for Oz national, JULIAN ASSANGE or risk FULL SCALE GLOBAL INSURRECTION in the name of (REAL) Liberty, Democracy and FREE SPEECH. Arrest and hold ALL war criminals accountable, RESTORE Representative Government and the Rule of LAW -- free Assange Now! (story and 1 image)

Since when does Interpol care about Sexual Assault?
staff report via reed, Wednesday, Dec 8 2010, 9:42pm
Julian Assange turned himself in Tuesday -- he's been arrested and is being held without bail in London ahead of a hearing on extradition to Sweden. The head of the "stateless" news-leak organization WikiLeaks is accused of sexual assault --and let's be clear, he should face the charges. But since when is Interpol [the investigative arm of the International Criminal Court at The Hague] so vigilant about violence against women? If women's security is suddenly Interpol's priority -- that's big news!

Knee-walking Oz Government under pressure over Assange
staff report via gan, Monday, Dec 6 2010, 10:15pm
Whether or not Julian Assange of WikiLeaks is the ‘real McCoy’ remains to be seen, however, the despicable behaviour of Oz governments shamelessly kowtowing to the Corporate sector and Foreign Imperial Powers must cease. The spineless surrendering of our Sovereignty/CITIZENS to foreigners requires the most vigorous protestations possible. We ‘save or hang’ our own and we do not surrender our Sovereign Rights to ANYONE – that simple! Go Oz, and screw the lying, mass murdering, yanks. O, and Gillard, you are worse than Rudd, beyond pathetic! (story and 1 image)

 WikiLeaks threatens to release 'Digital Thermonuclear Device'
Doug Saunders via stan, Sunday, Dec 5 2010, 7:06pm
Before reading the latest news on the criminal persecution and victimisation of WikiLeaks spokesperson, Julian Assange, consider the screaming hypocrisies for a minute.
Assange has done nothing but REVEAL TRUTH and EXPOSE the LIES of CRIMINALS in HIGH OFFICE -- that act alone amounts to the greatest service rendered to humanity in the 21st Century, make no mistake! Now consider who and why would have this brave man persecuted and hounded into oblivion (which would actually guarantee the opposite effect!)
The USA and Canada have condemned themselves by vocally demanding the murder of Assange. This action amounts to a Muslim Fatwa, think about that -- politicians and people in prominent advisory positions calling for an ILLEGAL summary execution is OUTRAGEOUS!
Surely now even the dimmest Americans are able to identify, as clearly as the international community, the REAL criminals and terrorists IN THEIR MIDST. (story and 11 comments and 1 image and 1 attached file)
