 ACTA: The Corporate Usurpation of the Internet posted by Nile Bowie via fleet, 2012-01-27 04:45:13
In the wake of a public outcry against internet regulation bills such as SOPA and PIPA, representatives of the EU have signed a new and far more threatening legislation yesterday in Tokyo. Spearheaded by the governments of the United States and Japan and constructed largely in the absence of public awareness, the measures of the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) dramatically alter current international legal framework, while introducing the first substantial processes of global internet governance. With complete contempt towards the democratic process, the negotiations of the treaty were exclusively held between industry representatives and government officials, while excluding elected representatives and members of the press from their hearings.

  Censorship on Twitter posted by staff report via sy, 2012-01-26 19:19:49
Google and CIA business partner have been selectively suppressing information for years that is why Google is facing anti-trust commissions/courts around the globe. Facebook will soon begin some form of selective censorship as pressure mounts to WITHHOLD critical information from society. Elites figure they've got you hooked on social networks so people will accept Orwellian information control, hence the open disclosure of Twitter entering the censorship business.

 Ya Can't Fool Putin! posted by Tass via penny, 2012-01-26 06:50:10
Former KGB and current diminutive Russian leader, Vladimir Putin, seems to have finally got the picture after a DECADE of illegal American military expansionism and CONSTANT war. Putin accused the USA of attempting to "dominate the world" (ya kiddin' me, Vladimir!) One wonders where Putin was during the Russian RETREAT from the Balkans, which set the STAGE for unopposed American expansionism. The US learned then that Russia HAD NO BALLS or principles! You will always be remembered as a diminutive, yelping, cowardly DOG, Putin! (full story)

 Indigenous Aussies Launch Spontaneous Attack on Oz PM Gillard posted by warra, 2012-01-25 23:15:06
Incensed by comments opposition leader Abbott made, inferring that Aborigines were better off today, a group of protesters from the Aboriginal tent embassy in Canberra surrounded a Restaurant the PM and opposition leader were lunching in.
There is no doubt that security was caught flat-footed by the surprise protest, the fear on Gillard's face was palpable. Perhaps now she realises a little of the terror her US support/policies inflict on others.
As representatives of the mass murdering British Crown, Aboriginal protesters were justified in their non-violent attack on Gillard and Abbott. Justice MUST be served and compensation/reparations made for genocide and the destruction of numerous tribal cultures. Notwithstanding pursuing criminal proceedings in local and international courts against the Crown and Australian government for their GENOCIDAL policies and heinous treatment of indigenous Australians since the colonial invasion.

Obama Delivers State of Delusion Address posted by rumple, 2012-01-25 21:37:13
PUPPET president Obama dutifully delivered his rehearsed and scripted State of the Union address to a socially aware America/WORLD recently; and as the majority noted, the one outstanding feature of this address was its COMPLETE disconnect from SOCIAL REALITY. I mean, who is Obama and his handlers trying to kid? So completely divorced from REALITY was the entire mad hatters address that it beggared belief -- one can only wonder who is prescribing the (wrong) medication for the executive these days! The insular dunces that wrote the diatribe really need to get out more. Even the long-suffering, under-educated, spineless American population viewed the entire charade with the cynicism it deserved.

MegaUpload Case -- US Seeks Dominion Over Cyberspace posted by Brett Winterford via Kismo, 2012-01-22 20:19:44
Have we had enough of America's 'permanent war,' 'indefinite detention,' neo-fascist policies or should we ALLOW the US to harness and control Cyberspace -- that is the principal issue behind the Assange and MegaUpload cases?
Not content with illegally invading weaker nations, plundering and killing thousands of innocent civilians -- all in the name of PROFIT -- the clearly criminal US now seeks dominion over Cyberspace, the last truly FREE social space left to humanity. (full story and 1 comments)

 FBI Responds to SOPA Protests with Shutdowns and Warrants posted by staff report via lyn, 2012-01-19 22:19:16
Twenty four hours after Internet advocates held a GLOBAL online protest objecting to proposed anti-piracy legislation, which they claim is censorship at its worst and overreach at best, one of the world's largest file-sharing sites, MegaUpload.com, was shuttered by the FBI and arrest warrants served in New Zealand! [Draconian information control necessarily follows totalitarian Indefinite Detention law in the face of widespread, SUSTAINED, social paralysis/INACTION. As occurred in Nazi Germany, the best thing the civilised and educated German MASSES could do to stop Fascism's swift rise, was sit with their thumbs up their arses!] (full story and 2 comments)

Voters Choice: Ron Paul or Israel Lobby posted by William A. Cook via reed, 2012-01-16 20:06:34
A curious glance at the current crop of presidential candidates makes it clear that Ron Paul stands alone when it comes to the issue of US engagement in foreign wars. He stands with George Washington against foreign entanglements while the rest of the candidates stand with Teddy Roosevelt and the attempted creation of America 's first empire one hundred and twelve years ago. Mark Twain responded to that effort by creating the Anti-imperialist society while he caustically satirized the effort in his depiction of the massacre of the Moros in the Philippines . Now we have more massacres, using drones instead of canons, on equally hapless civilians who are caught unawares or hiding from the wrath of America 's righteousness as we drive to bring virtue to a primitive world.

'Defense' Lunacy USA posted by Kevin Carson via gan, 2012-01-15 20:30:11
US military culture has recently made the headlines again with the urination corpse 'scandal' -- never mind the mass civilian murders, targeted assassinations and ILLEGAL military occupations! The Pentagon has revealed quite plainly how they transform OUR civilized youth into sadistic, homicidal sociopaths fighting CORPORATE wars -- that is the real tragedy. Our soldiers unconsciously know they are fighting dishonorable, CRIMINAL wars for PROFIT. Hence, SUICIDE continues to be the largest killer of US troops, enough said? The real enemy behind all the wars is Wall St. Bankers and Corporate owned Washington politicians! (full story)
