 WikiLeaks/Assange: US instigated Interpol attack
cleaves, Wednesday, Dec 1 2010, 2:40am
For those not fully conversant with American ‘foreign policy’ strategies they reduce to intimidation and/or bribery, either embargos, economic sanctions, or massive loans ‘aid’ (America prints money from thin air, remember) that enslave poorer nations; but the most popular tactics employed today are illegal military invasions, plunder and the mass murder of unfortunate civilians. You will note that the tactics America employs today are akin to those utilised by Nazi Germany, including ACCUSING the VICTIM! (story and 3 comments and 1 image and 1 video)

Fireblight: A Matter of Backbone and Sovereignty
happy jack, Monday, Nov 29 2010, 9:01pm
A foreign organisation, the World Trade Organisation (WTO) is demanding that Australia open its quarantine doors to the possibility of fireblight disease from imported New Zealand apples. Oz has enforced a ban on NZ apples for decades and as we are aware our local industry is not only able to supply local markets but exports volumes to Asia and other nations. So why the imposition from a foreign 'authority' telling us what to do with our crucial food crops – the answer lies somewhere between a jelly fish and servile mammals without backbones.

The Federal Reserve and the Pathology of Power
charles hugh smith via stan, Saturday, Nov 20 2010, 5:35pm
The Federal Reserve is an example not just of run-of-the-mill hubris but of the far more profound Pathology of Power. The rule of law has been supplanted in the U.S. by self-serving propaganda campaigns serving State and financial Elites: this is the Pathology of Power. The Federal Reserve is an instructive example because it is so blatant.

The Stench of American Hypocrisy
Paul Craig Roberts via reed, Monday, Nov 15 2010, 5:44pm
"The list of criminal actions by presidents Bush and Obama, Vice President Cheney, the CIA, the NSA, the US military, and other branches of the government is long and growing. For example, both president Bush and vice president Cheney violated US and international laws against torture. Amnesty International and the American Civil Liberties Union responded to Bush’s recent admission that he authorized torture with calls for a criminal investigation of Bush’s crime."

Obama: A servant of big business
Patrick Martin via gan, Wednesday, Nov 10 2010, 6:29pm
"To describe Obama as chastened by defeat would be an exaggeration, since it might suggest that before the election he had been engaged in an aggressive campaign against his opponents. He was low-key, conciliatory and, above all, prostrate before corporate America, whose servant he is." (story and 1 comment and 1 image)

 Universal Declaration of Human Rights
Liberty, Friday, Nov 5 2010, 8:42am
So few people are aware of their inalienable rights these days we thought we would publish them here and allow every reader to determine for themselves the identity of the nation today that flagrantly ignores the sanctity and preciousness of human life. The civilian killing tactics (drone warfare) of the USA breaches numerous Articles, leaving no doubt as to its terrorist status. Read, learn and hold the culpable accountable. These rights are enshrined in Law and make a mockery of the biased Hague Courts. The articles should be read to any court that pretends to deliver justice or ignores the crimes of known terrorist States.

Strawman Politics -- The Phantom Left
Chris Hedges via fleet, Tuesday, Nov 2 2010, 9:16am
The American left is a phantom. It is conjured up by the right wing to tag Barack Obama as a socialist and used by the liberal class to justify its complacency and lethargy. It diverts attention from corporate power. It perpetuates the myth of a democratic system that is influenced by the votes of citizens, political platforms and the work of legislators. It keeps the world neatly divided into a left and a right. The phantom left functions as a convenient scapegoat. The right wing blames it for moral degeneration and fiscal chaos. The liberal class uses it to call for “moderation.” And while we waste our time talking nonsense, the engines of corporate power—masked, ruthless and unexamined—happily devour the state.

Chemical Companies, Monsanto/GM Crops Threaten Eco Collapse
Jerome Taylor via nann, Friday, Oct 29 2010, 7:59pm
First the bees now bats have succumbed to the horrors of pollution and genetic tampering with our food crops. Nevertheless, we allow Monsanto and a host of Chemical Corporations to continue to turn a profit!
The typically short term 'solution' Corporations are pursuing is to purchase unpolluted and untampered with arable land offshore in poorer nations and other food producing nations stupid enough (Australia) to surrender their prized fertile lands to Transnational Corporations -- that, by nature, would eventually see all viable ecologies replicating the destruction which is occurring in the USA.
