Paris Hilton Be Wise, be Careful, and be Devastatingly Effective posted by styx, 2010-12-23 20:45:38
Can you blame the youth of the world for resorting to violent tactics in Europe and fighting fire with fire? It is understandable; however, it plays into the hands of the ruling elites and gives them EVERY excuse to tighten their already constrictor-like grip on our liberties and freedoms.

Some Americans Lament the Rapid Decline of their Nation posted by Michael Brenner via reed, 2010-12-16 18:53:53
The casual way that Americans are shredding their liberties is breathtaking. Rights that have been revered as the nation's spiritual heirloom for 225 years are cast aside like so many disposable keepsakes. Only a people confused by runaway emotions, and forgetful of their identity, can act with such feckless abandon. (full story)

Martin The reticent, timid and uninformed American population posted by Rip Van Winkle, 2010-12-11 21:00:06
High profile progressive political commentators in the US still do not appear to grasp the REALITY of the situation, OR worse, they have become party to the obfuscation and political diversionary tactics of the CORPORATE controlled mass media! (full story)

WikiLeaks/Assange Exploiting Global Discontent over Corporate and Government Corruption posted by stylus, 2010-12-09 20:48:21
The media, by conscious design or by nature, regularly whips culture into a frenzy; it is entirely in character for this to occur. However, when this social phenomenon occurs it is easy to lose sight of the REAL engines that drive the ‘beast.’ (full story)

FEDERAL Labor powerbroker Mark Arbib has been outed as a key source of intelligence on government and internal party machinations to the US embassy.

[After Labor PM Paul Keating sold Oz to Wall St, is anyone surprised to learn that the rot had never been removed from the Party.] (full story)

Kevin Rudd: a widely known inept Minister and Pathological Personality posted by bluey, 2010-12-07 19:39:13
It is not often this site has a kind word for anything American, however, wonders never cease; even the Americans have the measure of our sick little narcissist, Kevin Rudd. WikiLeaks’ latest release revealed that the former US Ambassador to Oz had Kevin Rudd ‘pegged to a tee’ -- ‘assessed accurately,’ for non-Aussie readers! (full story and 1 comments)

Julian Assange: What it means to be an Australian Citizen posted by bluey, 2010-12-03 20:08:24
Responding to a question regarding going back home to Australia at some stage, Julian Assange of WikiLeaks answered as follows:

“I am an Australian citizen and I miss my country a great deal. However, during the last weeks the Australian prime minister, Julia Gillard, and the attorney general, Robert McClelland, have made it clear that not only is my return impossible but that they are actively working to assist the United States government in its attacks on myself and our people. This brings into question what does it mean to be an Australian citizen - does that mean anything at all? Or are we all to be treated like David Hicks at the first possible opportunity merely so that Australian politicians and diplomats can be invited to the best US embassy cocktail parties.” [Emphasis added.] (full story and 3 comments)

Julian Assange WikiLeaks/Assange: US instigated Interpol attack posted by cleaves, 2010-12-01 02:40:05
For those not fully conversant with American ‘foreign policy’ strategies they reduce to intimidation and/or bribery, either embargos, economic sanctions, or massive loans ‘aid’ (America prints money from thin air, remember) that enslave poorer nations; but the most popular tactics employed today are illegal military invasions, plunder and the mass murder of unfortunate civilians. You will note that the tactics America employs today are akin to those utilised by Nazi Germany, including ACCUSING the VICTIM! (full story and 3 comments)

China, Russia, Iran are Dumping the Dollar posted by Bob Chapman via fleet, 2010-11-21 22:03:00
Something is going on that your government does not want you to know about. Very few journalists have written about it and little or nothing has appeared in the mainstream media. The story could be one of the major stories of our time. (full story)

Nun receiving a 'pat-down' -- what next? A Measure of American Subservience and Slavery posted by stele, 2010-11-19 22:21:45
Perhaps in its blind desire for ever more profits and less resistance, Corporate ruled America has crossed the line of tolerance – but we think not, as it is plain for the world to see that there is no limit to American servility and no slave like an American slave -- pathetic! (full story)

WikiLeaks is Not about One Person posted by stylus, 2010-11-12 18:23:57
And the first person to agree would be Julian Assange -- who, incidentally, has made the short list for TIME magazine's most influential person of 2010.

Truth and full disclosure are about making it very difficulty for criminals in high places to function and deceive the population -- in other words WikiLeaks servers the interests of a healthy, DEMOCRATIC society. Those that oppose WikiLeaks should be watched very carefully indeed, as they are clearly CORRUPT and/or involved in CRIMINAL activity -- it really is that simple, Jethro! (full story)

Obama: A servant of big business posted by Patrick Martin via gan, 2010-11-10 18:29:20
"To describe Obama as chastened by defeat would be an exaggeration, since it might suggest that before the election he had been engaged in an aggressive campaign against his opponents. He was low-key, conciliatory and, above all, prostrate before corporate America, whose servant he is." (full story and 1 comments)
