  The Perversity of American Empire posted by staff report via ryall, 2011-06-27 10:19:50
Characteristic of the lunacy that is the rapidly failing American Empire is the cost of air-conditioning for occupation forces in Central Asia. A staggering $20.2 billion annually, which exceeds NASA's entire budget, is wasted so America can fly its flag in unhospitable deserts half way around the globe.
If not for the fact the US prints the world's reserve currency (the greenback) America would already be bankrupt. Perhaps nations that hold the lion's share of US debt may reconsider putting an end to the misery of the American population at home and people in occupied nations by dumping their dollar reserves. By supporting the dollar China and Russia share equally in the destructive madness of US Empire today! (full story and 1 comments)

 USA NOT China is the major threat to resource rich nations posted by freddy, 2011-06-22 10:16:23
Whether the linked news report is a feeble attempt to sell Gillard's "enthusiastic" subservience to America to the Oz public -- she signed off on FIVE (5) full scale US military bases of OCCUPATION while in Washington -- or whether clearly CRAFTED news reports are designed to take pressure off the most unpopular PM in Oz history is unknown at this stage, but attempting to portray China as an aggressor salivating over our resource rich North, which they would have to mine after invading and conquering the nation, is so absurd and preposterous that it could pass for American mainstream 'news!'

Western Media suffers selective Blindness posted by uri, 2011-06-11 11:21:39
The corporate propaganda machine known as the western media is doing itself no favours selectively reporting 'news.' The huge demonstrations and social uprisings in Greece against the IMF, European Reserve Bank and imposed austerity measures, barely rate a mention but Libya, the darling war of Bankers and Oil companies, gains saturation coverage. Social 'revolutions' in the Middle East and North Africa fomented by the CIA gain huge coverage but popular PEOPLE'S revolutions in Europe are ignored. (full story and 2 comments)

Big Banks required Secret Emergency Loans from NY Fed in '08 posted by buster, 2011-05-26 22:25:10
We know today that Capitalism failed completely in 2008, it is currently on 'QE2' life support waiting desperately for the Global introduction of a PENALTY (Carbon) Economy to replace Capitalisms failed Production Economy; so it should come as no surprise that large financial institutions required a 'monetary transfusion' at that time -- the fact that these dealings were kept secret is in character with the methods employed by financial elites to manipulate the global economy and maintain debt slavery as the primary method of social control and Imperial supremacy!

 Oz Carbon Tax in a Nutshell posted by baz, 2011-05-22 20:55:25
First let me say that climate change is REAL and constant, as the geological and meteorological record clearly indicates; BUT that has no bearing whatsoever on the Goldman Sachs designed PENALTY TAX SYSTEM Julia Gillard wishes to IMPOSE on the good citizens of Australia. (full story and 1 comments)

China’s recent Bravado, Hot ‘Yellow’ Air posted by stan, 2011-05-19 20:42:55
China is attempting to assert itself on the world stage by warning “in unequivocal terms that any attack on Pakistan would be construed as an attack on China!” Cop that world, we are pretending we have balls! However, after China’s COWARDLY display with traditional ally Yugoslavia and witnessing Bill Clinton laugh openly after intentionally targeting the Chinese Embassy in Belgrade and killing a number of Chinese officials, please accept our incredulity as a response to your feeble mouse squeaks and that notwithstanding China’s paralysis in direct view of America's latest imperial war in North Africa. We can see them all shaking in their shoes in Washington, as they roll on the floor laughing at the giant yellow mouse that aspires to superpower status – what a pathetic joke! It’s ACTIONS, NOT WORDS that convince and demand respect. (full story and 1 comments)

 Security fears for US Navy Seal team posted by staff report via penguin, 2011-05-12 11:21:05
Deceased American comedian, Bill Hicks, once joked about a US president with integrity and how the real ruling elite would take him alone into a viewing room and show him repeat footage of the Kennedy assassination 'from a completely new angle' to drive the message home that US presidents either do what they're told or end up dead meat.

The Libyan War, American Power and the Decline of the Petrodollar System posted by Peter Dale Scott via nano, 2011-04-29 09:15:27
The present NATO campaign against Gaddafi in Libya has given rise to great confusion, both among those waging this ineffective campaign, and among those observing it. Many whose opinions I normally respect see this as a necessary war against a villain – though some choose to see Gaddafi as the villain, and others point to Obama. (full story)

Fed Chairman Bernanke holds theatrical press conference posted by Zachary Karabell via huang, 2011-04-27 23:25:12
Yesterday, Ben Bernanke departed from the silent, opaque tradition of the Federal Reserve and held a press conference. The event attracted considerable attention, for its novelty as much as for its substance. But those hoping that Bernanke would do his best imitation of Willy Wonka and reveal hidden facets of humor, complexity and charisma were, to say the least, disappointed. (full story and 3 comments)

 'US to recoup [steal] Libyan oil from China' posted by staff report via major mitchell, 2011-04-16 23:49:34
Corporatist Western media constantly portrays a number of Libyan CIA lackeys screaming into cameras that Gaddafi "must go!" -- Western propagandists are careful to present these orchestrated images/frames as the popular sentiment or the majority opinion of Libyans when in fact the OPPOSITE is true.

The Federal Reserve Banking System’s War on Gaddafi posted by quill, 2011-04-14 08:59:12
CIA backed ‘rebels’ in Benghazi have established a Reserve Bank -- complete with governor -- modelled after the infamous, PRIVATELY OWNED, ‘Federal’ Reserve Bank in New York City. It seems that certain Banking interests, JP Morgan and Goldman ‘carbon tax’ Sachs among them, cannot tolerate ANY nation that is not connected (enslaved) by its private Reserve Banking system.

America's Orwellian Lexicon posted by judd, 2011-04-10 22:38:04
The Libyan 'no-fly zone' established by America and its puppet allies via UN resolution 1973, by real definition, amounts to this: "No-Fly" actually means the US and NATO do ALL the FLYING and conduct air strikes unhampered by pesky nations defending their sovereignty! (full story)
