 Trilateral Commission: global elite gather in D.C. posted by James P. Tucker Jr. via reed, 2008-05-06 21:46:55
The Trilateral Commission—one of the three most powerful globalist groups in the world—held closed-door meetings right here in Washington, D.C. from April 25 to 28. True to form, those members of the media who knew about the meeting—or were themselves participants in the proceedings—refused to discuss what went on inside or report on the attendees. Luckily, AFP’s own editor, Jim Tucker, was on the scene to bust this clandestine confabulation wide open. (full story)

Australia, remember? posted by major mitchell, 2008-05-05 22:16:31
Australia is making a weak gesture to remember its once proud rebel fighting past. Furnished with a cringing government grant of $120,000, archaeologists are undertaking a dig at Glenrowan, the site of Ned Kelly’s last stand against colonial oppressors and the corrupt authorities of the time. They hope to unearth new artefacts and solve some popular folk legends that Kelly's brother escaped the siege. It is encouraging that Australia -- now in the most cowardly phase of its history -- reminds itself that it once possessed a fearless, indomitable, fighting, INDEPENDENT spirit.

  Rich-poor divide no longer a ‘gap’ now a yawning, unbridgeable chasm posted by gan, 2008-05-04 07:52:59
For a very brief period in the second half of the twentieth century, ‘first world’ nations experienced relative equality. The poor could, with immense difficulty, bridge the affluence gap and become wealthy. Today everyone but the cliques and privileged insiders are shut out permanently! The world has returned to the enduring paradigm of privileged elites and everyone else; the access corridors to equity/equality have been shut tight – why share the remaining spoils and perhaps increase competition for the rapidly decreasing commodities and resources of the world?

 Will Serbia sell its soul for EU membership? posted by dragan, 2008-04-29 20:09:42
What is the EU really offering Serbia after the ICC acquitted KLA war criminal, Ramush Haradinaj, of heinous war crimes charges? It is now clear western interests seek the dissolution of the Serbian State. The West’s support of known criminals in secessionist Kosovo is additional proof of the lengths to which the West will go to (illegally) secure sovereign Serbian territories. (full story)

 Latin America: the attack on democracy posted by John Pilger via rialator, 2008-04-25 09:20:48
Beyond the sound and fury of its conquest of Iraq and campaign against Iran, the world's dominant power is waging a largely unreported war on another continent - Latin America. Using proxies, Washington aims to restore and reinforce the political control of a privileged group calling itself middle-class, to shift the responsibility for massacres and drug trafficking away from the psychotic regime in Colombia and its mafiosi, and to extinguish hopes raised among Latin America's impoverished majority by the reform governments of Venezuela, Ecuador and Bolivia.

Prior to responding to the latest gibberish from the White House -- you know, the domicile on the misspelt ‘Capitol’ Hill that houses the leaders of the ONCE most powerful nation on the planet, America! [Now famed for its nose-diving economy, stunningly inaccurate intelligence agencies, illegal activities, expansionist wars of plunder and aggression, torture, illegal detention etc, etc; all brought to you by men and women of unusual intelligence and skill!] (full story and 1 comments)

Meltdown of U.S. Dollar Underway as China Dumps the Currency posted by David Gutierrez via reed, 2008-04-17 20:02:11
Comments by China that it intends to move away from its reliance on the dollar triggered a sharp drop in the Dow Jones Industrial Average and heightened worldwide fears about the U.S. currency's stability. Chinese Central Bank Vice Director Xiu Jian said that his country is planning to shift much of its $1.4 trillion national currency reserve from dollars to more stable currencies, such as the euro or Canadian dollar. After these comments, the dollar fell to record lows relative to other currencies -- the lowest ever against the euro, the lowest in a generation against the British pound, and the lowest in 57 years against the Canadian dollar.

Our globe trotting PM has returned home after making no positive impact in world affairs, however, our Kevin did manage to aggravate China and offend Japan – well done, Kevin! Our media darling PM did arouse the curiosity of some unimportant commentators; who was this curious mandarin speaking oddity from Australia and what real impact did he hope to effect on the world reading from an American script?

Obama wins first battle for the democratisation of America posted by banjo, 2008-04-12 23:04:16
Referring to specifics – THE INTERNET – Barack Obama sent shock waves through traditional ruling communities in the USA and western WORLD! The rich and powerful had just been given a wake-up call by a black American of Kenyan and Irish ancestry. Alarm and consternation has befallen members of the Bilderberg group; their traditional power-base -- wealth -- had just been threatened by a ‘dark’ horse Senator from Illinios! “We have created a parallel public financing system where the American people decide -- if they want to support a campaign they can get on the Internet and finance it,” Obama stated at a Washington fundraiser. “And they will have as much access and influence over the course and direction of our campaign that traditionally [was] reserved for the wealthy and the powerful,” he added!
