 NATO Chicago Protests posted by Captain, 2012-05-21 12:20:09
It was heartening to see Iraq and Afghan veterans marching in Chicago with throngs of civilian protesters. Veterans made passionate anti-war statements before throwing their war medals at the NATO venue; "I choose life," one veteran exclaimed as he tossed his medals away. Who knows more about the injustices of war than those that fight it and the innocents unjustly affected by it? Obama and the war mongers have no idea of the horrors of war, which why they so easily advocate war instead of Peace. (full story and 2 comments)

The Suppression of Information in the 21st Century posted by Prof. James F. Tracy via stan, 2012-05-20 09:37:38
The police state’s framework for suppressing information and opinion arguably threatens all forms of independent thought and appears poised to intensify as the “war on terror” continues. As the recent emergence of US plans for indoctrination in reeducation camps reveals, Western governments’ actual enemy is the capacity for a people to exercise critical thought en route to intervening in and altering political-economic processes.

NATO expands because it is UNCHALLENGED by (COWARDLY) Russia and China posted by lux, 2012-05-20 01:11:38
That's basically the long and short of it. All the ballyhoo surrounding the clearly criminal organisation of NATO is of no major consequence; NATO will continue its criminal military occupations, murder and expansionism until it is challenged by a greater or equal force on the world stage -- THAT SIMPLE!
It is a known that the combined military and nuclear strength of China and Russia is equal to that of the West -- and is fully capable of reducing continental America and Western Europe to ash! (full story and 1 comments)

 In the Absence of One Shred of Supporting Evidence posted by ken, 2012-05-20 00:03:27
I've got a question for all the dreamboats out there. In the absence of any -- that means there is NONE -- corroborating or supporting evidence, do YOU believe the '20' times revised fairy tale of the Bin Laden assassination by American Navy Seals? If so, then go watch American idol or better yet there's a new comic book movie with Captain America and all the other comical 'Avengers', you vacuum-heads! (full story)

Millions say, ‘No, thanks’ to Facebook posted by Anick Jesdanun via reed, 2012-05-19 13:49:25
Too much hype and too little substance, Facebook, the policeman's friend and privacy advocates' nightmare. The real world is tiring of fake friends, snoopers and CIA/NSA surveillance. (full story and 1 comments)

 Talk is cheap, Medvedev - a show of Force is required posted by Gleb Bryanski via ben, 2012-05-18 23:12:21
We've heard it all before, Russia making 'threatening' noises but DOING NOTHING DEFINITIVE to support their 'hot air;' Putin was notorious for making ineffective, threatening 'noises!'
Consider for a moment the MANY regions/areas that Russia is able to legally intervene and challenge criminal US/NATO, and it becomes clear, the criminally corrupt Russian leadership is colluding with western criminal elites. A show of opposition must be maintained by performing political puppets in order to perpetuate the myth/ILLUSION of opposing superpowers. Until we witness a REAL reversal of US/NATO military expansionism -- you can blow your hot air (appropriately) out your COWARDLY, colluding arse, Russia (and China). (full story and 1 comments)

 Chicago G8/NATO Reality posted by Ewen MacAskill via brad, 2012-05-18 10:14:59
Sometimes we are jarred back into Reality with all the 'grace' and finesse of a mule kick. That 'kick' can come in many forms, on this occasion it came in the form of a headline from the UK Guardian, here it is unmodified:
"G8 and Nato summits: will our world leaders get anything done?" (full story)

 Federal Court Overrules NDAA Provision posted by Glenn Greenwald via stan, 2012-05-17 23:10:01
A federal district judge today, the newly-appointed Katherine Forrest of the Southern District of New York, issued a ruling: one which preliminarily enjoins enforcement of the highly controversial indefinite provisions of the National Defense Authorization Act, enacted by Congress and signed into law by [puppet] President Obama last December. This afternoon’s ruling came as part of a lawsuit brought by seven dissident plaintiffs — including Chris Hedges, Dan Ellsberg, Noam Chomsky, and Birgitta Jonsdottir — alleging that the NDAA violates ”both their free speech and associational rights guaranteed by the First Amendment as well as due process rights guaranteed by the Fifth Amendment of the United States Constitution.” (full story and 1 comments)

 Battle for the Mind - loss of Focus today equals loss of Freedom posted by will, 2012-05-17 22:47:03
I am constantly reminded of the deteriorating mental condition of the moronic masses and their postage stamp attention spans these days. The major issues and crimes of our time have almost become footnotes in the mass media while prurient or hollow stories steal the attention of the morons. It is well that we remember that there is a price for everything and that "the price of ignorance is slavery!" (full story)

A 12yo explains modern Reserve Banking posted by stele, 2012-05-17 09:02:31
Though the video relates to Canada, it applies to any nation that is part of the global Reserve Banking system. Australia also had a national people's Bank, the appropriately named 'Commonwealth Bank' -- which was PRIVATISED by Labor Prime Minister, Paul Keating, who also dutifully floated our sovereign currency on Wall Street, thereby enslaving the nation to FOREIGN Big money interests!

Absolutely no apologies for the gross metaphor but what does it take to get a decisive reaction from Russia and China -- if indeed these two COWERING 'superpowers' are capable of reacting at all? (full story)
