 Stand Corrected, Napoleon! posted by cid, 2012-04-23 05:41:34
It was Napoleon Bonaparte who famously stated that China was the sleeping giant and to be aware of its inevitable awakening. However, Napoleon's perceptions were limited by the cultural consciousness of his time. China has awakened and is predictably threatening the balance of global power, but what's new? Nations rising and falling is an old story. THE SLEEPING GIANT IS NOT CHINA, but the PEOPLE, the GLOBAL POPULATION is the REAL SLEEPING GIANT today! People everywhere are sick and tired of corrupt governments and elite rule. (full story)

Successive SPINELESS and SERVILE Oz governments have allowed Corporations to EXPLOIT average Aussies for decades without demanding explanations for BRAZEN overcharging.

The Circular, Ineffective Discourse of the American Left posted by rad, 2012-04-21 22:55:52
During my university days I learned to emulate my Academic lecturers -- it reduced to stating the obvious in the most tortured, convoluted and obscure language possible. After I became proficient in this retrogressive art I began receiving high grades and so I continued this conscious (but ridiculous) process until I graduated -- after which time I quickly abandoned this absurd practice.

China’s Rise, America’s Fall posted by Ron Unz via stan, 2012-04-20 10:16:48
The rise of China surely ranks among the most important world developments of the last 100 years. With America still trapped in its fifth year of economic hardship, and the Chinese economy poised to surpass our own before the end of this decade, China looms very large on the horizon. We are living in the early years of what journalists once dubbed “The Pacific Century,” yet there are worrisome signs it may instead become known as “The Chinese Century.” (full story)

Obama the Dunce and the Afghan 'Train Wreck' posted by Conn Hallinan via stele, 2012-04-18 23:08:52
AGAIN, the MYTH of 'superpower' has been shattered but this time by a rag tag group of dedicated fighters with minimal arms and technology. Regardless of all the zillions of dollars and high tech weaponry of the invaders, Afghanistan is an utter FAILURE, as was Vietnam! PROVING that a population that opposes and RESISTS invaders ALWAYS prevails. Are you reading this you gutless Iraqi Arabs and tragic, once fighting, Serbs -- take back YOUR nations? (full story)
