Hacktivist Group 'Anonymous' Responds to recent Arrests posted by staff report via TKiss, 2011-07-22 10:30:59
It should be remembered that Julian Assange lost credibility by making unfounded claims and threats he was unable to carry out.

Steady as she goes, crew.

There is nothing to prove, maintain focus on the primary objective, the job to be done. Never become 're-active' like Assange; there is NO identity! Glamour boy Assange became a victim of his own persona/ego/IDENTITY -- WE have no such WEAKNESS!

Economy Destroyed: The Enemy is [Wall St.] Washington posted by Paul Craig Roberts via reed, 2011-07-22 02:17:36
Recently, the bond rating agencies that gave junk derivatives triple-A ratings threatened to downgrade US Treasury bonds if the White House and Congress did not reach a deficit reduction deal and debt ceiling increase. The downgrade threat is not credible, and neither is the default threat. Both are make-believe crises that are being hyped in order to force cutbacks in Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security.

Libya is a US/NATO War Crime in Progress posted by zad, 2011-07-21 09:29:41
Since the beginning of this UN approved war crime, Libyan citizens fleeing rebel held territory detail the same story of rape, murder, torture and ethnic cleansing. However, these accounts have been constantly ignored by the western mainstream media/propaganda apparatus. (full story and 1 comments)

Global Financial Alert! posted by stan, 2011-07-21 02:06:15
With an OVERT policy of confiscation (theft) -- Libya’s sovereign wealth fund and other LARGE funds; economic blackmail in the form of choking financial flows (WikiLeaks) -- many nations and LARGE investors are REVIEWING their policy of placing funds or INVESTING with US/Western Financial and Banking Institutions. You could hardly blame them. (full story)

John Bolton Rabid Neo-Con Imperialist Spells Out Real US Foreign Policy posted by John Bolton via joe, 2011-07-21 00:32:46
John Bolton is a neo-con able to put a sentence together so make no mistake regarding the militaristic, permanent war views of the neo-fascist American Right. Referring to Libya, Bolton's view could probably be summed up in the following extract:

"But in the last four months, neither America nor its NATO allies have successfully identified and strengthened (quietly or otherwise), a truly significant cadre of pro-Western voices in Libya." [Emphasis added.]

Whatever happened to the SOVEREIGNTY OF NATIONS, Mr. Bolton? (full story)

For those who required proof or the means of discovering the Truth behind recent global Revolutions, the following video (linked) offers much material to verify what was suspected all along. The globalist agenda (PNAC) as pursued by minority elites (plutocrats) are behind what appear to be peoples’ movements! (full story)

Murdoch – it only matters when you get caught! posted by stele, 2011-07-18 00:01:15
Make no mistake, Murdoch is (was?) a King maker/breaker and a major propagandist – he learned his skills in Australia, much to the cost of various former and current (Kevin Rudd) politicians. (full story)

Unrepresentative Oz PM, Juliar Gillard Oz PM Gillard Delusions of Grandeur posted by gan, 2011-07-17 11:14:11
What on earth does Gillard think she's doing planning to IMPOSE and unwanted, un-mandated Carbon TAX on Australia? After failing to convince the public with simplistic slogans, rhetoric and an astounding lack of real detail on how carbon emissions will be accurately measured etc., Gillard is now dipping into the public purse to pay for a $25 million Ad campaign in a last ditch effort to sell the unsellable! This latest attempt at a sell will no doubt earn her nothing but scorn and contempt, as many people view this extravagant decision as symptomatic of lunacy! The reality is PLAIN TO SEE -- AUSTRALIA DOESN'T WANT THIS TAX, Juliar! (full story)

Col. Gaddafi Libya on Time Clock posted by nano, 2011-07-17 00:15:42
After months of NATO bombing civilian targets, including the capital Tripoli, and numerous failed (illegal) assassination attempts on Col. Gaddafi, any semblance to a ‘humanitarian intervention’ in Libya has been ‘shot to ribbons’ or should we say (illegally) bombed to rubble and dust. The entire grab for Libya’s oil and resource wealth by Western terrorists has failed. The plan is in tatters as TIME was of the essence. The wily Gaddafi has far too much support from his people and other African nations to be easily eliminated like Balkan leaders of the past. (full story)

The Emperor has no Economy posted by Ted Rall via fleet, 2011-07-16 03:15:46
The Associated Press' Paul Wiseman had one of the snappier headlines last week: "The Economic Recovery Turns Two - Feel Better?"

"After previous recessions, people in all income groups tended to benefit," Wiseman wrote. "This time, ordinary Americans are struggling with job insecurity, too much debt, and pay raises that haven't kept up with prices at the grocery store and gas station. The economy's meager gains are going mostly to the wealthiest…A big chunk of the economy's gains has gone to investors in the form of higher corporate profits."

Wiseman quoted David Rosenberg, chief economist at Gluskin Sheff and Associates in Toronto: "The spoils have really gone to capital, to the shareholders." (full story)

The Oz Carbon Con Spelled Out posted by snowy, 2011-07-16 00:29:08
Fortunately Australian MORONS number only about 30% of the population according to the latest carbon poll, the reverse of the illiterate USA. So we address the following to the gullible, mindless THIRD swept away by simplistic American slogans and thin unconvincing explanations. (full story and 2 comments)

Farmers call for end to CSIRO genetically modified wheat trials posted by staff report via gan, 2011-07-15 11:25:56
Greenpeace is joined by an Oz farmers group concerned over the threat that GM wheat presents to our multi-million dollar wheat industry. Farmers are demanding that government cease all trials of GM wheat in Australia.

If Canberra's boot-licking attitude to US Corporatists doesn't cease soon, especially since allowing the most dangerous and evil Corporation on the planet (Monsanto) to jeopardise our food sovereignty, then the entire parliament must be jettisoned in favour of representative Independents. Gillard is but the latest boot-licking yank lackey PM after Rudd and Washington servant, Howard.

Onya Greenpeace for taking action against a Canberra experimental GM wheat farm. Your efforts have been rewarded with support from many quarters -- killer seed Company Monsanto requires 'killing' themselves! Oz Food Sovereignty MUST be protected from killer-seeds Monsanto and other GM food Companies at all costs.

American World View is WAR – the Primary cause for its Impending Demise posted by Kismo, 2011-07-15 03:01:48
A recently released Pentagon report has declared the Internet a WAR ZONE -- well, of course it has, it’s a POV snapshot from the military, a distorted reality the US Banking/Military/Corporate complex is unsuccessfully attempting to impose on the world population in order to justify and continue on its mass murdering, plundering course. I mean, how could the US even attempt to justify killing millions of civilians, ruining/enslaving European nations and sticking its destructive nose into EVERYBODY'S business without declaring War on almost everything?
