 Iraq/Afghan War Veterans Support WikiLeaks posted by baz, 2010-10-27 07:41:03
The soldier fighting the (dirty) war on the ground is a far more reliable witness to war than the lying Politicians and Corporate elitists that placed him/her in the line of fire. Veterans of the Iraq and Afghan wars have come out in support of WikiLeaks, while the rabid political right demands that founder member, Julian Assange, is apprehended and packed off to Guantanamo Bay for informing the public of the war crimes and atrocities the US was witness and/or party to! Fortunately, the demented demand to arrest and incarcerate Assange vindicates WikiLeaks’ actions; what utter lunacy lies behind a demand to arrest a man for exposing war criminals?

 The Global Crisis, The Role and Meaning of Art in Society posted by Caoimhghin Ó Croidheáin via gan, 2010-10-17 18:27:38
As the current world economic crisis deepens, the role and meaning of art in society changes as more and more people are dragged down by the weight of personal debt, unemployment and poverty. Galleries close and less people can afford to buy art creating a new awareness among artists of the fragility of the art market and the economic system behind it that creates an increasingly alienated and elitist exclusivism.

WikiLeaks' Biggest Document Dump Yet Coming Monday posted by David Knowles via Kismo, 2010-10-16 19:24:16
Firstly, it should be noted by those unfamiliar with Oz culture that true Australians have an ACUTE sense of FAIR PLAY and JUSTICE -- those cultural characteristics stem from our cruel penal colony past and the need to cooperate in order to survive harsh conditions and overcome the odds.
Exposing heinous criminals, liars and mass murderers is par for the course; we salute Mr Julian Assange and his international team. May all of Washington DC, Wall St, the Pentagon and their servile allies choke on the TRUTH -- and may all the people of the world awaken to the FACT they are LIONS raised as sheep! Ed.

 U.S. Launches Financial World War posted by Michael Hudson via stan, 2010-10-13 06:28:26
What is to stop U.S. banks and their customers from creating $1 trillion, $10 trillion or even $50 trillion on their computer keyboards to buy up all the bonds and stocks in the world, along with all the land and other assets for sale in the hope of making capital gains and pocketing the arbitrage spreads by debt leveraging at less than 1 per cent interest cost? This is the game that is being played today. (full story and 1 comments)

 'Operation Dark Heart' Author Alleges 9/11 Cover Up posted by staff report via reed, 2010-10-13 05:34:49
Judge Napolitano's Ground-breaking interview with Lt. Col, Anthony Shaffer and former CIA Intelligence officer, Michael Scheuer, shines more light on the world's most inept cover-up, the 'Official' 9/11 Report. Shaffer's recently published book, "Operation Dark Heart" was essentially "censored" by the Pentagon -- 10,000 copies of the first run were purchased by the Pentagon in a failed attempt to suppress facts exposing U.S. criminal activity and improprieties in the Iraq and Afghan invasions and occupations.

Opposing views and adversarial journalism have all but disappeared on the mass media today -- I wonder why (no prizes)? Citizens are only able to make informed decisions based on all available information -- and they are not getting it! Here's an alternative view on the global banking fiasco.

 Big-Money Takeover of America posted by Robert Reich via reed, 2010-10-09 21:02:16
Not only is income and wealth in America more concentrated in fewer hands than it’s been in 80 years, but those hands are buying our democracy as never before – and they’re doing it behind closed doors. (full story)

Is anyone surprised? Fake leader, fake alert! Western 'democracies' have been hijacked by Corporatists! What that (simply) means is that all Western politicians are PUPPETS serving the interests of those that placed them in 'Office' -- note I did not use the word Power, as the POWER remains with the people, never forget it!

Sadistic, cowardly Oz Pigs enjoying their 'work!' posted by bluey, 2010-10-06 08:25:59
If a picture is worth a thousand words then this video is worth millions. I all but went on an indiscriminate Pig killing spree after viewing this sickening video.
You wonder why my reaction? Prior to the invention of Tasers, I was handcuffed, my ankles tied to a chair and mercilessly beaten for six hours by FIVE 'brave' NSW police for a dope infringement. Well, I was once a doper, now I'm permanently altered thanks to the GUTLESS beyond belief, AUSTRALIAN police. Maybe I'm weak or just human but the next Pig that puts a foot wrong in my direction is in for the shock of his very short life! (full story)

Australia's economic growth comes at expense of workers' wages and conditions posted by John McCarthy via stan, 2010-10-05 06:39:32
THE blowout in the cost of living could be directly blamed on companies and governments shifting financial responsibilities and risks on to workers, according a report released by unions. A report, by the Sydney University Workplace Research Centre, found that while Australia had massive economic growth over the past 40 years, wages had been constrained, costs had eaten up a greater percentage of income and more than two million jobs were now part-time or casual.

Deceit and the Political Right posted by Jon Faulkner via dasha, 2010-10-03 07:26:45
Without being entirely dismissive of the progressive response to the right's ascendancy it is painfully obvious that words, no matter how eloquent or apt, fall short when arguing the progressive ideology. Republican sophists use rhetorical argument, albeit in the absence of truth, to great success to refute the progressive left. (full story)
