 The Money Masters: Behind the Global Debt Crisis posted by Adrian Salbuchi via stan, 2011-09-26 09:57:03
In the US, we see untold millions suffering from the impact of mass foreclosures and unemployment; in Greece, Spain, Portugal, Ireland, and Italy, stringent austerity measures are imposed upon the whole population; all coupled with major banking collapses in Iceland, the UK and the US, and indecent bail-outs of “too-big-to-fail” bankers (Newspeak for too powerful to fail).

Guess Who's ABOVE the Law, Suckers? posted by sam, 2011-09-25 12:12:58
If you haven't noticed, the law against killing civilians in a war zone has NOT been rescinded -- killing innocent men, women and children, continues to be illegal but what do NATO and American leaders care, they have literally been getting away with mass murder/HOLOCAUSTS since Iraq.

 Economic Collapse and the Dollar Crisis posted by Bob Chapman via sal, 2011-09-24 09:28:42
It is no secret that the Fed, Bank of England, Bank of Japan and the Swiss national Banks are going to provide dollars to European banks that are the victims of American lenders who have pulled their funds out of Europe for fear of losing their investments. They are phasing out an orderly fashion. The commitments of these central banks are doing three things putting their citizens at more financial risk; driving inflation higher; aiding in the increase in gold prices and following a path they already know is doomed to failure. The players did not want a replay of the Lehman Affair of just three years ago, or the ongoing immediate consequences. (full story)

"The failure of ROSAT was controversially blamed on Russian computer hackers. Although it was never conclusively proven, experts claimed it was consistent with similar cyber-attacks." (full story and 4 comments)

Forget American ‘US and Them’ – WE are ONE! posted by stele, 2011-09-24 00:45:09
Social unity, cooperation and equality are imperative for the long term sustainability, survival and overall success of any society. It is no accident that all the world’s great religions insist on brother/sisterhood; indeed, all the great social movements of history were founded on good fellowship and mutual cooperation.

 And the House came Tumbling Down posted by stylus, 2011-09-23 11:34:42
What a tragedy for NATO and the Libyan people that CIA-backed rebels are further from securing -- for any length of time -- any Libyan territory whatsoever. Today the situation continues to deteriorate and is worse than at any time during the West’s criminal ‘humanitarian’ bombing campaign. Oil Transnationals and the Reserve Banking cartel behind this and every other conflict/war raging today, now stand in full view of the world AND HISTORY with their pants around their ankles revealing -- for those equipped with a magnifying glass -- their tiny, FEAR-retracted penises!

The People Support Politicians that Support the People posted by nano, 2011-09-23 01:13:38
In view of the above self-evident Truth, why are today’s politicians UNIVERSALLY REVILED by the masses? The question is almost rhetorical as the answer is obvious – TODAY’S POLITICIANS DO NOT SUPPORT THE MAJORITY BUT INSTEAD SERVE MINORITY INTERESTS THAT ARE DIAMETRICALLY OPPOSED TO THE INTERESTS OF THE MAJORITY!

US economy, cot case! posted by Brendan Conway via stan, 2011-09-22 14:13:27
NEW YORK (Dow Jones)--Investors staged a global flight from risk Thursday that sent U.S. stocks plummeting and 10-year Treasury yields to 1940s levels, after a gloomy outlook by the Federal Reserve renewed fears of a global economic slowdown. (full story)

Bankers and Corporations really 'care' [about THEIR profits] posted by eddy, 2011-09-22 08:45:37
Borderless, stateless Transnationals, corrupt and poison EVERYTHING they touch. They are rogue, stateless entities exploiting everything and answering to no one. Every war waged since the Balkan intervention has had Corporatists behind it. Millions of innocents have died so a few, profit only driven, psychopaths could turn a decadent buck.
In Australia Transnationals rape, plunder and POLLUTE OUR environment and then take over 80% of the profits offshore. They own our servile, 'Carbon Tax' politicians and continue to corrupt every level of government in the country. (full story)

 Wall St Sips Champagne While Watching Protesters posted by citizen, 2011-09-21 23:01:59
A nation that fails to learn from history is doomed to repeat it -- in this case a direct reference to the insularity of aristocrats (elitists) and the fomenting 'French' revolution is unmistakeable.
It will end badly for arrogant, insular, elitist criminals. A PR stunt gone horribly wrong for Wall St, no doubt, but thanks heaps. You have been outmanoeuvred at every turn and we know where you live -- the Forbes 'headless 400' - LOL! (full story)

Criminal Empire, Criminal War posted by Gareth Porter via gan, 2011-09-21 22:27:43
[Hard learning] American forces in Central Asia are engaging in outright crime in their futile attempts to gain control of the region. I refer to targeted criminal assassinations, euphemistically referred to by the Corporate military as, "night raids." Those who do not learn from history are forced to repeat it -- the well known adage here applies.
The US utilised EXACTLY the same tactic in Vietnam -- then known as the PHOENIX PROGRAM -- assassinating thousands of innocent individuals on rumour alone. The result, as history clearly teaches us, was the fueling of HUGE OPPOSITION to American forces, which eventually culminated in a humiliating DEFEAT for the INEPT EMPIRE, nothing has changed today.

Impending Global Economic Collapse posted by quill, 2011-09-20 23:07:25
The IMF issued a warning today (see link) that the GLOBAL ECONOMY is in dire straits, however, spokespersons were careful to understate the gravity of the situation. Nonetheless, couched in misleading metaphors and the coded language of deceptive economists – ‘headwinds,’ indeed -- is the TRUTH of an imminent collapse! Anyone with ‘eyes’ to see can see. The collapse of ’08 is now entering terminal stage. The global economy was never in recovery just on life support with printed toilet paper money which quickly evaporated in the mad UNREGULATED rush to cover criminal debts and HIDE HUGE INSOLVENCIES. White collar thieves continued to shower themselves in more bonuses while the moron masses remained passive, watching the remainder of their real funds get sucked into the bottomless pit of an impossible recovery – how’s your super going, morons?

 The Truth and Obama posted by Chris Hedges via gan, 2011-09-19 23:29:54
The truth is Obama never fell from anything, he was always a resource of the REAL executive powers, a selectee! NEVER forget the powers offered the US presidency to Colin Powell first, 'community organiser' Obama was a very poor second choice, as duped America is discovering today. Obama ALWAYS served minority elite interests to whom he is COMPLETELY beholden! Nevertheless, Hedges' essay is refreshingly gritty, honest and ACCURATE; his willingness to confront the REALITY of American politics and the servile president separates him from the bought herd of media slaves and commentators that continue to present Obama as some sort of authority figure -- Obama was placed in the presidency to serve the UNREPRESENTATIVE, minority interests that placed him there.
