 Obama ‘blah, blah’ chirp American Newswires .. posted by harley, 2010-02-03 21:05:45
In dread and/or denial U.S. newswires continue to treat Obama as if he’s an independent thinking person/leader of some sort – are you people for real? Laugh, cry or whatever, but it’s painfully clear, Obama is completely subservient to the powers that placed him in office. The neo-con agenda hasn’t missed a beat, and you wonder why the world doesn’t take you seriously anymore. Enough of this Obama ‘blah, blah,’ as if he’s something other than a SHAMELESS, black lackey, errand boy, house slave, puppet, for corporate vested interests and entrenched financial elites!

  “It’s just a shot away” posted by ryall, 2010-02-02 09:36:35
It is with profound unease informed Aussies react to the news of Barack Obama’s planned visit to Oz in late March. We are a rough, racist, xenophobic culture down here and many misinterpret our coarse manner and humour at times, I refer to tongue in cheek references of al-Qaeda snipers nested in Sydney’s Opera House waiting for Hillary Clinton’s visit, which was abruptly cancelled using the Haiti earthquake as an excuse. However, Obama’s visit is a far more serious matter, especially in the context of his complete inability to deliver on any of his pre-election promises and his overt perpetuation of neo-con policies. Obama is now despised by both sides of politics – a very unenviable position indeed! (full story)

 Secret Banking Cabal Emerges From AIG Shadows posted by David Reilly via reed, 2010-02-01 07:50:38
The idea of secret banking cabals that control the country and global economy are a given among conspiracy theorists who stockpile ammo, bottled water and peanut butter. After this week’s congressional hearing into the bailout of American International Group Inc., you have to wonder if those folks are crazy after all. (full story)

 FOX rated No.1 ‘News’ Channel in US! posted by fleet, 2010-01-30 21:22:51
Slightly over 1,000 Americans surveyed, in a population approaching three hundred million, rated FOX News, ‘most trusted’ news outlet with a 50%-plus, approval rating; a figure well above the nearest competitor, CNN, with a 39% approval rating. The reason for Murdoch’s apparent success is plain to see – Murdoch completely dumped the charade of impartiality and deliberately wooed a partisan audience with the most biased and twisted commentary imaginable – so what’s the problem? People forget that News and the media are BUSINESSES, ie CORPORATE ENTITIES designed to turn a buck above ALL other considerations, TRUTH has little to do with it unless it happens to support an existing policy direction.

Blair REVEALS true nature at CHILCOT posted by quill, 2010-01-29 21:42:43
Proven War Criminal, Tony Blair, is presently performing before the Chilcot inquiry -- a non-legal, toothless entity/inquiry designed to placate growing public anger regarding the clearly illegal Iraq invasion and subsequent CIVILIAN HOLOCAUST. A holocaust that was initiated by Blair, Bush and Howard – the coalition of willing criminals AND the nefarious Corporate interests behind them! (full story and 6 comments)

Out of Sync with the masses of the world posted by quin, 2010-01-28 20:42:41
Predictably, the Corporatist mass media is desperately saturating the airwaves with a ‘new’ strategy to win an UNWINNABLE war in Afghanistan. Over 60 puppet political leaders met in London yesterday to demonstrate and make public a show of unity on extending the occupation/war in Afghanistan! The entire media exercise was designed to legitimise a continuing presence in South Asia and convince a very wary public that the ‘new strategy,’ of “re-integration” would work. However, the London charade was/is as transparent as a pair of whore’s knickers! (full story and 2 comments)

Afghanistan promises to be the first of a series of defeats in store for mass murdering, criminal, BROKEN, America. Regardless of the badly camouflaged, face-saving talk of “re-integration,” ‘power sharing,’ with avowed enemies the Taliban, REALITY dictates America has been squarely DEFEATED!

 The Iraq Holocaust and the American Farce posted by bagger, 2010-01-25 18:44:26
Figures over one million are sketchy but at least one million INNOCENT CIVILIANS have been killed as a DIRECT result of the ILLEGAL, pre-emptive, US-led INVASION of Iraq – based on LIES! STEADY as we go! Newswires today are ‘alive’ with reports of the execution in Iraq of Saddam’s cousin, ‘Chemical Ali,’ who is responsible for killing TENS of thousands of innocent Kurds – no disputing that estimate. According to American death penalty standards justice has been served in Iraq, RIGHT? The WORLD now waits IMPATIENTLY for the TRIAL of HOLOCAUST perpetrators Richard Cheney, George W Bush, Tony Blair, John Howard and their senior staff on charges of mass murder and other crimes against humanity – AND THERE IS NO ESCAPING THE FACTS!
