 Talking Junk Economics and Eating Caviar posted by stan, 2010-02-11 21:35:48
Politicians, Economists, Bankers and Corporatists continue to spout pure, unadulterated shit (lies of recovery) while in the REAL WORLD the global economy slips further into decline. However, the public seems to be buying the nonsensical drivel issuing from the mouths of paid commentators, partisan economists, and puppet politicians – but not for long! (full story and 2 comments)

 Preludes to Dynamic Social Change posted by lynx, 2010-02-07 19:55:34
Yawning chasms of DISPARITY and INEQUITY have preceded every social r/evolution in history; are we blind to the signs in the sky today? NO! However, the (let them eat cake) arrogant attitude of self-styled elites blinds them to the consequences of their criminal, corrupt actions. Take for example, Financiers, Bankers and Corporate CEOs; they insider trade, exploit, LIE and CHEAT, O-P-E-N-L-Y displaying the UTMOST CONTEMPT for the masses, LAW and GOVERNMENT, then rub the noses of the public and our once functional regulatory social institutions in their excrement! What would you suppose are the consequences of these appalling actions; history bulges with information? (full story)

The American Presidency, what presidency? posted by Sheila Stuff via fray, 2010-02-07 06:03:26
It boggles the mind reading this very accurate account of the completely ineffective role of the U.S. President today.
From George H Bush, Clinton to Obama the exact same status quo is in operation and the same private ruling interests are in control of the nation! However, the American people continue to argue the toss regarding Obama's total lack of credibility and influence in the REAL affairs of the nation. Instead of confronting the reality of a paper mache 'Hope and Change' President, we get distracting Obama blah blah! American democracy is dead, the Republic has been lost to private, vested interests for decades! (full story)

  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!

Obama Roundly Condemned by American Intellectuals posted by harley, 2010-01-24 20:53:46
American intellectuals have added their voice to the rapidly growing chorus of condemnation directed at President ‘Hope and Change!’ Obama is now choking on his previous promises and pledges. Maintaining the status quo for Corporatists and acquiescing to Pentagon Militarists could hardly be described as ‘Change;’ notwithstanding that escalating WAR is the most HOPE-LESS human endeavour imaginable!

 Tony Abbott has been HARNESSED posted by stan, 2010-01-24 09:10:31
The clearest indication that, all snarl and toothless bite, Tony Abbott has been made to heel is his failure to OPPOSE Kevin Rudd’s hugely UNPOPULAR Internet CENSORSHIP policy – a political opportunity gone begging! At this point a brief word from our snarling, biting, sponsor; YOU, Mr Abbott, are all growl and no substance, clearly you are too spineless to uphold your Party’s ideology of individual freedoms for FEAR of offending Rupert Murdoch’s censorship dictates to Kevin Rudd – pathetic!

US Policy: ‘on the nose’ more than ever posted by wisp, 2010-01-23 08:37:39
In badly co-ordinated policy and propaganda presentations, reminiscent of US intelligence agency bungles, Secretary of State Mrs Clinton presented a speech extolling the virtues of uncensored freedom of expression in the digital world while her fearless, corporate puppet leader Obaa’ma implemented what is termed, ‘Cognitive Infiltration;’ which is a strategy designed to directly interfere and subvert individuals or groups deemed to be 'conspiracy theorists,' (CTs) notwithstanding Clinton's inferred claim that conspiracy whackos have as much right to free expression as anyone else, Barack!

Life Imitates Bad Sci-Fi Movie posted by fray, 2010-01-22 18:38:40
A completely servile US president is currently distracting the public with intimations of (Bank) reform while minority ruling ELITES pull off another MAJOR COUP – you dumb, anaesthetised, DISTRACTED fuck’s – no apologies! The US Supreme Court has just handed down a decision allowing ‘Corporate Entities’ the same rights under the First Amendment as living citizens; which effectively allows CORPORATISTS to buy government, and by extension, the LEGISLATIVE PROCESS or LAW! ‘Say goodbye to ‘Hollywood,’ nightmare fantasy has just become REALITY!

 Obama: ‘neither cold nor hot ..’ posted by fish, 2010-01-21 21:48:43
The title refers to a radical Christian text that almost didn’t make into the New Testament, I would add here that what is NEW and reformed makes redundant and OBSOLETE what is OLD, referring to Jewish teaching in the OLD Testament. In other words all direction and guidance for Christians is to be obtained from the New Testament, as is clearly indicated in Hebrews 8:13 -- but to the advice couched in REVELATION 3: 15-16.

A Very American Coup posted by William J. Astore via fran, 2010-01-20 19:38:58
Here’s a bit of cheery news: Last week, Secretary of Defense Robert Gates met with the nation's top defense company executives, including the CEOs of those mega-military-industrial combines Lockheed Martin and Boeing, and called for a “closer partnership.” He also made them a promise. He pledged, according to his spokesman, “to work with the White House to secure steady growth in the Pentagon's budgets over time. (full story)

 US Administration finally discovers ‘real’ al-Qaeda stronghold in YEMEN! posted by birdie, 2010-01-06 21:54:42
WE should have known, especially after Obama’s own National Security Advisor, Gen. James Jones, stated that the ACTUAL number of al-Qaeda fighters in Afghanistan is "fewer than a hundred!" What! You mean thousands of innocent lives have been lost and the world’s most powerful military has been mobilsed to fight less than 100 fighters? Well, if nothing else it certainly portrays al-Qaeda as nothing short of superhuman, perhaps even divine! How else would it be possible for less than 100 fighters to take on the most powerful military in the world? Or is it perhaps the case that WE are being DECEIVED, YET AGAIN?

Oz government remains in Racist denial posted by snowy, 2010-01-06 07:57:34
Like a recidivist alcoholic Kevin Rudd’s CENSORSHIP government continues to avoid the RACIST REALITY in Oz, and as every therapist would advise, you can’t cure a problem without first acknowledging it exists! The entire world is aware of xenophobic, racist, backward Australia thanks to former PM John Howard’s OVERT racism making headlines around the globe. However, an opportunity to HEAL and take the nation forward presented itself to pathetic little Kevin Rudd, who seems more concerned with CENSORSHIP issues and DENIAL than FACING leadership challenges!

 Oz Racism: absurd claim made by useless Labor Politician posted by bluey, 2010-01-04 21:58:29
The Australian public broadcaster, which should know better than to run with and kow-tow to the new CENSORSHIP GOVERNMENT, ran a story on the COWARDLY, racially motivated, stabbing murder of a 21yo Indian student, titled: “No evidence for race link in Indian attacks ..” [Learn that banner headlines are important, Aunty!] (full story and 2 comments)

 CENSORSHIP in Oz: in your IT Face posted by Kismo, 2009-12-21 23:34:49
It is astounding that commentators and IT media in Oz CONTINUE TO DESCRIBE Kevin Rudd’s brazen INTERNET CENSORSHIP policy as ‘filtering’ – prohibition of media information of any type is CENSORSHIP; get it straight and USE the appropriate and ACCURATE TERM! If it requires rubbing the ringed and stupefied noses of some Aussie dreamboats in the soiled fabric of our language to get the point home, then so be it! (full story and 1 comments)
