  Innuendo and accusation in Alastair Campbell's diaries posted by Andrew Grice via watson, 2012-06-17 02:29:36
Alastair Campbell's 'personal' and highly subjective diaries make the claim that 'CFR' Rupert Murdoch pushed/'forced,' servant to the Banker and Corporate elite, Tony Blair, into the Iraq war! Now think before swallowing; the source is the diary of a UK politician and 'rides' with a given -- few informed analysts and commentators would doubt Murdoch's elitist credentials and his desire to push the PNAC plan; HOWEVER, Tony Blair, the most gushing faithful servant to the elites required no 'force' or urging to unswervingly serve his Banker and corporatist masters, which is bloody obvious. Tony 'JP Morgan' BLAIR, for pete's sake! (full story)

 Austerity for Oz! posted by baz, 2012-06-15 00:41:54
Almost on cue, the Banker and Transnational cartels have utilised their faithful SERVANT, former conservative Treasurer, Peter Costello, to submit a report and of course warn of dire consequences for Queensland, arising from the State's debt.
You could almost pick the day this would occur, after UNESCO's warning of threats to the Great Barrier Reef, ARISING DIRECTLY from rampant Corporate EXPLOITATION and the social unrest/protests over under-regulated CSG exploitation, or toxic 'FRACKING,' as it is internationally known.

WASHINGTON -- A critical document from President Barack Obama's free trade negotiations with eight Pacific nations was leaked online early Wednesday morning, revealing that the administration intends to bestow radical new political powers upon multinational corporations, contradicting prior promises.

 Banks cut cosy deals with each other while You get shafted posted by Robert Scheer via stan, 2012-06-14 09:45:15
Statistics are boring, but it’s important to wrap your head around this latest one from the Federal Reserve as the definitive epitaph for the American dream. Wall Street’s financial shenanigans, the banking games that made some fat cats outrageously wealthy as they turned home mortgages into toxic securities, wiped out 20 years of growth in American families’ net worth.

The Mistake of Popular Appeal posted by 'radium', 2012-06-13 23:15:57
Who needs it? Centers of power have always been highly localized and relatively easy to target. The objective was/is and always will be, to target the 'centers' of control, NOT waste time and effort attempting to attract or 'save' the moronic masses. 'Get over' any culturally inculcated martyr or savior complexes -- the fight has always been between opposing elites and may the more capable, skilled and intelligent group prevail!

 Oregon man contracts Bubonic Plague posted by pasteur, 2012-06-13 12:22:15
News of bubonic plague in Oregon coincides with a local story of noxious cane toad control in Australia. An interesting parallel can be drawn from the two stories by those seeking an easy, inexpensive means by which to spread deadly pathogens -- bio-warfare in other words.

 India, no 'linchpin' in US strategy against China posted by Shastri Ramachandaran via sadh, 2012-06-13 01:41:15
In January, when the Obama administration came out with its ambition of a military "pivot" to Asia, it caused confusion and unease in the region. Earlier this month, speaking at the Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore, which was attended by most Asian defense ministers, US Defense Secretary Leon Panetta eschewed the term "pivot" and referred to a "rebalancing" toward Asia.

 NATO: A Criminal Globalist Militay Force posted by Vijay Prashad via Captain, 2012-06-12 00:20:44
NATO went to war in Libya to protect civilians through a U.N. mandate (Resolution 1973). Given legitimacy by the U.N. Human Rights Council and by the International Criminal Court, NATO began its ten thousand bombing missions. It quickly exceeded the U.N. mandate, moving for regime change using immense violence. All attempts to find a peaceful solution were blocked. The African Union's high-level panel was prevented from entering Libya as the NATO barrage began. (full story)

The Revolutionary Organisation behind Jesus Christ posted by finn, 2012-06-11 03:32:24
Don’t kid yourself children, Jesus was sent on his mission by an organised group that existed long before he was born. He was not a God or even possessed of supernatural powers but a healer of minds and souls and a very brave, charismatic social revolutionary; he could no more fly than any man or elephant could fly! The implausible/impossible fantasy aspects of the story are cultivated by organised religion to weaken and intimidate believers into obeying a supernatural ‘all-powerful’ being that seems always to require the assistance of men to do the simplest things. You see, all Gods are the product of the pens of scribes and propagandists. But Jesus is the exception; he was a man, a most inspiring social reformer. (full story)
