REJECTED: US surveillance tentacles behind 'Cybercrime' Bill posted by Dylan Welch via Kismo, 2011-08-19 00:03:03
The CRIMINAL powers that have successfully locked down the USA -- genital groping -- are attempting to surreptitiously export their totalitarian, BIG BROTHER, Surveillance State abroad by using the pretext of 'Cybercrime.' However, Australia has seen it all before with the 'child porn' con and attempted paternalistic, State CENSORSHIP. Oz politicians have since learned that it is political suicide to IMPOSE censorship in Oz; so the Gillard government now attempts to implement controls under international guises.

SEC Attorney, Darcy Flynn, Blows Whistle on Wall Street posted by Larry Doyle via fleet, 2011-08-17 23:36:54
This story is written by Rolling Stone’s Matt Taibbi, perhaps Wall Street’s greatest nemesis [that remains to be seen]. I commend him and those from whom he has sourced this information on displaying the courage of their convictions and the embodiment of the true American spirit (?) to bring this story to light. [Everything has been in the "light," as you put, for some time; from the cover-up of 9/11 to the LIES of IRAQ through to LIBYA. And NOTHING, NO accountability whatsoever; where have you been, dreamboat?] (full story)

US/NATO 'blow it' in Libya posted by Jean Bricmont and Diana Johnstone via stan, 2011-08-17 02:32:02
From servile Ban Ki-moon through to every European and US CRIMINAL participant in this FAILED, grotesquely obvious MORALLY unjust, criminal war -- STAND RIGHTFULLY ACCUSED of TERRORISM, you criminal filth

The entire world is WITNESSING the horrid TRUTH unfold daily in Libya, as botched illegal assassination attempts and outrageous civilian killing, rape and ethnic cleansing continue under the PRETEXT of a 'humanitarian intervention;' would someone please dispense the medication to NATO and US officials -- you have 'BLOWN IT,' BIG TIME! And no amount of fickle, titillating media distraction will background this outrage from the public consciousness.

Putin even looks like a mouse! Putin: the MOUSE that roars posted by reg, 2011-08-16 22:23:13
Here he goes again with his FEEBLE, verbal PROTESTATIONS, telling the world what it already knows. You refer (video below) to all the criminal US/NATO interventions from the Balkans through to Libya -- they are ALL characterised by Russian inaction, cowardice and PARALYSIS! (full story)

Col. Gaddafi Confirmed: Gaddafi forces Liberate Misrata posted by Lizzie Phelan via fleet, 2011-08-16 10:45:30
While the journalists suffering from cabin fever in Tripoli’s Rixos hotel, publish their dreams that imperialism’s lackeys (the rebels/rats "tebels") have taken Zawiya, Ghuriyan and Sorman, they are ignoring a decisive moment in the crisis. (full story)

Superpowers Russia and China at Crossroads posted by bluey, 2011-08-16 00:05:52
The leaderships of China and Russia are far more pragmatic and realistic than the self-evident pathological buffoons that run the failing USA. However, it is time the leaderships of both nations made clear to the INTERNATIONAL C-O-M-M-U-N-I-T-Y exactly where they stand in relation to the OVERT/BRAZEN CRIMINAL ACTIVITY of the USA and NATO. It is simply unacceptable for Russia and China to condone the Libyan and other ‘interventions’ in their respective roles as members of the UN Security Council and then make feeble verbal protests when mandates and resolutions are violated and brazen crimes committed by other members.

How Many More Dead Children for Corporate Profit? posted by Donna Smith via reed, 2011-08-15 23:02:15
Below is a photo of a dead child from Pakistan, Syed Wali Shah, 7, that Michael Moore’s site featured when showing the continued prospects of civilian deaths attributable to U.S. drone strikes. Syed is one of 168 children killed in seven years of CIA drone strikes, said the report cited, and in response to the findings, Unicef, the United Nations children’s agency, said: “Even one child death from drone missiles or suicide bombings is one child death too many.” The same report said a minimum of 385 civilians (including the children) were killed over that seven-year period and that makes at least 52 civilians killed by these strikes each year or one each week.

Ban Ki-moon Ban Ki-Moon, the Obedient Secretary General posted by baz, 2011-08-15 10:36:22
UN Secretary General, Ban Ki-Moon, better known as ‘ol’ rubberstamp,’ has FINALLY voiced “concern” over the civilian death toll in the UN sanctioned Libyan “humanitarian” war of regime change and resource theft. But where was Mr Moon when NATO FLAGRANTLY attempted an un-mandated and illegal assassination of Col. Gaddafi, which resulted instead in the deaths of three children under 12 and Gaddafi’s son? Would that violation of the UN mandate and international law constitute a WAR CRIME, Mr Moon, you pathetic, BIASED, servile, spineless dunce! (full story)

William “Willy” Rodriguez and criminal G W Bush “Last Man Out” Makes Shocking 9/11 Disclosure posted by Richard Roepke via stan, 2011-08-14 10:07:10
The following story from a CREDIBLE witness adds to the MOUNTING EVIDENCE that 9/11 was a black flag operation and that the testimony of numerous firemen, police and civilians regarding multiple EXPLOSIONS was/is an accurate account of events! The official NIST report is noted for its outrageous omissions, inadequate analysis and erroneous conclusions.

We re-iterate that a COMPREHENSIVE FORENSIC investigation conducted by independent experts is absolutely imperative if the TRUTH of 9/11 is to be revealed/known. Do not forget that 9/11 remains the major EXCUSE to which corrupt politicians constantly refer as justification for the loss of social liberties and America's criminal wars of plunder and civilian killing. If the government has nothing to HIDE then let's have a proper investigation NOW!

Junkie Nation: $10 TRILLION goes 'missing' from Pentagon since '91 posted by quin, 2011-08-14 00:24:38
The lyrics of an old 70's song relate the tragedy of a father with a very destructive and costly habit, 'there's a hole in Daddy's arm where all the money goes.' You could imagine the sorry consequences, repercussions and conditions that such a 'family' had to endure. (full story and 1 comments)

War and the London Riots -- UK Double Standards on Display AGAIN! posted by Robin Beste via reed, 2011-08-13 10:42:53
Don't hold your breath waiting for UK prime minister David Cameron to express outrage over War Crimes committed by the UK/NATO and the US in Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya, he's too busy playing double standards with alienated British youth. The "sickening violence" that Cameron attributes to British youth for making their dissatisfaction known, is meaningless next to the holocausts and atrocities committed by the British government in Iraq, Central Asia and North Africa.

Crazy eyes, Bachmann Running for the US Presidency posted by doc, 2011-08-12 00:16:15
Over recent years it has become painfully obvious to the international community that the two primary qualities of successful candidates to the office of President of the USA are, wait for it, borderline illiteracy and insincerity -- smooth-talking LIARS and/or nutters have occupied the White House for far too long. A brief review of recent presidents since and including Reagan verifies the FACT! (full story and 1 comments)
