  After Thousands of Years of Slavery the Chinese People Begin Removing their Shackles posted by staff report via Kwang, 2012-03-03 22:42:42
Napoleon once referred to China as the ‘sleeping giant;’ indeed Napoleon’s observation has proven correct today as China emerges from thousands of years of oppression, poverty and social slavery to challenge America, an empire in rapid decline due to a political disease that once ravaged China – corrupt, minority rule!

 Afghans Turn On Reviled Occupiers posted by Eric S. Margolis via gan, 2012-03-03 20:52:23
Shock, incomprehension, fury. Americans are feeling these raw emotions as news keeps coming in of more attacks by Afghan government soldiers and officials on US and NATO troops. Six US troops were killed last week as a result of protests across Afghanistan following the burning of the Holy Quran by incredibly dim-witted [par for the course] American soldiers. “Aren’t they supposed to be our allies? We are over there to save them! What outrageous ingratitude,” ask angry, confused American occupiers. (full story)

 The Demented Diatribes of Servile Dunce Obama posted by quill, 2012-03-03 01:37:44
Obama’s latest speech to the party faithful in New York City last night betrayed the astounding degree to which the ruling American elite are separated from reality, the American population and the free citizens of the WORLD.
Whatever else this tap dancing clown’s remarks betrayed, no doubt whatsoever exists regarding the ever-widening chasm between the clearly insular plutocratic ruling elites and the PEOPLE of America and the WORLD. (full story)

Syria: A Conspiracy Revealed posted by Felicity Arbuthnot via stele, 2012-03-02 07:12:11
It was political analyst Mahdi Darius Nazemroaya, in November 2006, who wrote in detail of US plans for the Middle East.
“The term ‘New Middle East’, was introduced to the world in June 2006, in Tel Aviv,†by U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice (who was credited by the Western media for coining the term) in replacement of the older and more imposing term, the “Greater Middle East”, he wrote. (full story)

 The Oz Martyrs Brigade, Julian Assange and Jennifer Robinson posted by zed, 2012-03-01 22:44:04
One wonders at times whether it's insularity, dissociative narcissism or just plain martyr complexes induced by adolescent naivety, idealism and perhaps one too many ‘martinis’ or bottles of ‘gushing’ red wine that place people in circumstances destined to fail tragically.

 'Friends of Syria conference' SHAM Exposed posted by harry H, 2012-03-01 06:08:18
Need the thinking world doubt it? The West's (proxy) intervention in Syria is now thoroughly exposed and no-one is buying the 'friends of Syria' SHAM conference. Amazingly, cowardly dog China and circus bear Russia remain steadfast in their opposition to any external interference in the affairs of sovereign Syria. However, the corporate ruled west desires another failed state in Syria along Libyan lines in order to advance their strategic ambitions in the Middle East. Once unified and debt-free, Libya is now completely 'Balkanised'/fragmented into dozens of powerless and arguing tribal fiefdoms, courtesy of NATO and the US. Internal divisions and bickering between tribal factions allows for easier corruption and 'management' as various warlords seek assistance from major powers. Meanwhile parasitic western banks, with reconstruction loans, and plundering transnational oil companies are having a field day in once debt-free, unified Libya -- now see if YOU can work out the true gambit of US and NATO criminal interventions around the globe!

 Ben Roberts-Smith -- what 'You' know is what 'THEY' tell you! posted by dasha, 2012-02-28 22:50:13
In the wake of a backlash against mindless TV hosts ridiculing an undeniably brave though clearly misled Aussie soldier, comes the facile propaganda effort from the powers -- video below
Few would deny this man's bravery or dedication but in VIEW of OVERWHELMING FACTS available in the public domain, his efforts are clearly misplaced. (full story and 2 comments)

 Hackers Assist Beleaguered WikiLeaks posted by Cassandra Vinograd via no-one, 2012-02-27 10:13:52
Hacker group Anonymous has delivered a trove of five million emails hacked from the analysis/intelligence firm Stratfor to WikiLeaks. Assange was in dire need of a haul like this as his site has been floundering since the Iraq/diplomatic cable release. Hopefully Assange will learn which side his bread is buttered on and give credit where it's due; not necessarily by name but by recognition of his 'anonymous' sources. (full story)
