 Looting and mindless destruction suits existing ruling Elites posted by zed, 2011-08-10 12:15:02
Before we proceed I would remind everyone that real anarchy is a non-hierarchical system of self-government sustained by MUTUAL COOPERATION -- which implies [for] the GOOD OF ALL! The only social exception to that rule would be self-centred, self-serving vermin that exploit their fellow human beings. Today that category of human filth is represented by Banksters, Corporatists and the puppet politicians that serve them. NATO and the US war machine commit the most heinous war and other CRIMES against humanity on a daily basis in order to satisfy the insatiable appetite minority elites have for accruing ‘wealth’ or turning a profit. Let us today make a CLEAR distinction between mutually assisting groups and the EXPLOITATIVE, unrepresentative, minority CRIMINAL elites that currently rule our respective societies.

  Democracy Betrayed posted by zed, 2011-07-26 11:23:52
If we, the democratic majority, condone or allow elected representatives to renege or back-peddle on promises then we must accept the responsibility for the failure of democracy. Democracy demands that the will of the majority is uncompromisingly served, no ‘ifs or buts!’ Everyone is able to comprehend the simple principles embodied in the Democratic ideal.

 ‘Extreme Nationalist’ – the New Bogeyman posted by kent, 2011-07-24 03:45:41
In the wake of the recent massacres in Norway, which killed over ninety citizens, the world was surprised to learn that the killer was NOT a bearded Jihadist – such is the power of mass media saturation over an extended period. The lunatic in this instance was a Norwegian local with a right wing Christian fundamentalist background. What is interesting to note however, are the numerous instances of media racial profiling; the killer is universally described as blonde, six feet tall, blue eyes etc, emphasising that extremists are not necessarily swarthy or dark featured 'foreigners.' The media seems less concerned with the fact that lunacy knows no racial boundaries than it is with highlighting the home grown terrorist factor! Or could the almost uniform media accounts of this tragedy be hiding another Iraq style WMD LIE and new 'terrorist' bogeyman creation? (full story and 2 comments)

A Solution posted by dasha, 2011-07-24 01:50:42
How did we get into the mess we’re in today?
If we extricate ourselves from the distracting, lying, misrepresentations of the mass media propaganda apparatus for a moment the cause and SOLUTION stares us in the face. (full story)

Reality and its Enemies posted by joe, 2011-07-14 13:32:04
How many times have you heard people say, ‘look what your country has done for you,’ in an attempt to bring a stray back to the fold and re-join the guilt-ridden, denialist population of America? (full story)

 Ruling Criminal Elites COMPLETELY Divorced From Reality posted by bluey, 2011-07-07 05:46:44
Anyone with a functional brain to bless themselves with SEES clearly the reality we live in today. Daily WAR CRIMES committed by the US and NATO in Central Asia and Libya under the noses of the Hague Courts and Ban ‘kneepads’ Moon of the UN! Killing civilians whether it is reported accurately on the Corporate media or not continues to be a WAR CRIME. ‘Insurgents’ in the form of children collecting firewood or wedding parties, or traditional tribal meetings or extended family gatherings with women and children of all ages seem to be favourite targets of criminal America and its servile allies – BUT WHO ARE THEY TRYING TO KID labelling these groups “insurgents?” The world woke up after the outrages committed by the Bush regime, to quote then Secretary of Defence, Rumsfeld, “we know Saddam has weapons of mass destruction because he just has!” Cheney and Blair were worse, even that grotesque little flea, Oz PM, John Howard, stuttered similar LIES.

It’s hard, soul-destroying work slaving for minority Ruling Elites posted by zed, 2011-06-25 01:29:26
Have you noticed? Obama looks like shit lately, rapidly greying hair, at his relatively youthful age; eyes sinking into the back of his blackened eye-sockets, generally burnt-out appearance, etc – the self-assured arrogance of being THEIR ‘chosen one,’ is GONE – we could have told him so!

America Doesn’t Commit War Crimes it Commits Euphemisms posted by beau, 2011-06-17 22:10:04
Allow me to introduce myself, my name is very bad grammar and tortured English. I am American! Proud to call the loss of personal Freedom and Liberty, ‘Homeland Security;’ very proud to participate in the ‘Patriot Act’ and wave our blood-soaked star-spangled banner at every Illegal war we wage; prouder still to refer to the millions of civilians we have murdered in Korea, Indo-China, Central Asia and Africa, as ‘Collateral Damage;’ extremely proud of our legal system which maintains its integrity by allowing our agencies and military to ‘Waterboard’ instead of Torture; and very tolerant of strangers touching my genitals in order to ‘Keep me Safe.’ Perhaps I could sum it all up by simply stating we live in our own private asylum for the criminally insane called the United States of America!

The Phantasm of Opposition in Today’s World posted by Al, 2011-06-11 02:10:01
First, allow me to qualify the title for those who stubbornly refuse to believe or acknowledge the existence of an elitist, Financial/Corporatist, globalist agenda.
THREE independent NUCLEAR superpowers exist in the world today. We know the combined force of any two could easily OBLITERATE the third; I refer of course to Russia, China and America. Now, recall the Sino-Russian military alliance designed as a political and military counter-balance to the perceived strength of the USA. Indeed, the combined strength of Russia and China easily exceeds that of America alone, though with the addition of Western European nuclear powers the balance becomes almost equal again, though the Sino-Russian pact remains the stronger.

 Robert Gates: maintain occupation of all invaded territories posted by stan, 2011-06-09 23:26:03
US career politician, Robert Gates, dutifully lectured NATO defence chiefs recently on the need to maintain occupying forces in invaded territories and NOT to withdraw THEIR troops when the US begins to reduce its forces in Afghanistan. Gates cited the threat of ‘instability’ (which invasion and foreign occupation creates) and the likely loss of the precarious ‘gains’ made by occupying forces as causes for concern.

 Pope Ratzinger: A Dead Spiritual Loss posted by fish, 2011-06-09 00:10:32
Recently the Roman Catholic Pope, in a failed PR exercise, took questions from children regarding God and Catholic theology; a nine year old girl put it straight to the Pontiff, ‘why is there so much suffering, hunger and war in the world?’ The Pope answered honestly, “I don’t know!” How’s that for a spiritually bankrupt FRAUD? The Pope’s only saving grace is that he answered the question honestly. (full story and 1 comments)

Obama’s unilaterally declared Libyan war Illegal posted by jango, 2011-06-07 21:20:14

  Armed vs Unarmed Resistance posted by nano, 2011-06-01 00:51:02
When neo-cons were drafting the Project for the New American Century (PNAC) or world hegemony by any other name, criminal neo-con corporate facilitators confronted the problem of State sovereignty, International Law and human rights – THEIR ‘solution,’ as the world is NOW aware, was to ignore or corrupt International Legal Institutions, disregard State Sovereignty and completely ignore the rights/lives of innocent civilians, as the horrendous civilian death toll, which now ranges in the millions, clearly indicates. From the start it became apparent that the free world was dealing with a new, State CRIMINAL force! (full story and 1 comments)

Practical Lessons from the Strauss-Kahn ‘Assassination’ posted by quill, 2011-05-17 23:02:56
This analysis will concern itself less with the popular ‘guilt or innocence debate’ than it will with practical lessons to be learnt by various States, groups, bodies, institutions and capable individuals around the globe, but particularly in Europe. (full story and 2 comments)
