War Crimes Incorporated posted by gan, 2011-01-13 20:33:47
Today’s unwanted but NECESSARY home Truth is, Drone ‘warfare’ is a WAR CRIME. It kills far more civilians than combatants. It fuels VEHEMENT opposition to the U.S. and its puppet allies. But worst of all, it clearly indicates the FAILURE of the U.S. military and their best strategists to deal legally with modern warfare. (full story and 1 comments)

  Assange, a 'martini-drinking' common blackmailer posted by nano, 2011-01-13 04:39:44
No one in the spotlight is really able hide their true nature; every action, from subtle facial expressions to overt behaviour and emphatic discourse reveals much and so it is with onetime media glamour boy, Julian Assange. (full story)

Yes, we CAN RESTORE our DEMOCRACIES posted by paladin, 2011-01-12 07:28:54
The following video is an INSPIRING compilation of speeches and responses by Jack Kennedy, Martin Luther King and Texan Libertarian, Ron Paul.
The conservative executive, Bankers and Corporatists behind them, had two of these men assassinated; is it not time to bring today's KNOWN criminals to trial?

 Rumsfeld’s Book Release – 'Known and Unknown' posted by quill, 2011-01-09 18:52:41
Call me old fashioned but I cannot for the life of me understand why or how a ‘KNOWN’ WAR CRIMINAL is able to brazenly engage in a tawdry exercise of revisionism, self-justification and apologetics for one of the most incompetent and criminal regimes in U.S. history. (full story and 1 comments)

Racial Divide USA posted by swift, 2011-01-09 08:09:09
Think of the LEGION of Corporate and Wall St criminals that instigate wars, corrupt our governments, destroy global economies, pollute our planet, destroy our jobs and continue to receive bonuses. Contrast the treatment of brazen 'white' collar criminals with the unjust VICTIMIZATION of blacks and other racial minorities in America.
The United States is not becoming a Police State, it IS a Police State, as this shocking video clearly indicates. (full story)

 Pentagon Guilty of Criminal Negligence in Iraq -- countless lives needlessly lost posted by swift, 2011-01-07 21:12:56
The following story does an admirable job of describing past events that clearly reveal the incompetence and bungling of the US military during its illegal invasion of Iraq. Indeed, any person, organisation or nation that has had any experience with the yanks knows only too well the lack of expertise, gross negligence and dangerous rustic arrogance that characterises everything American, including its Corporate controlled military. But the story fails miserably in ONE critical area, ANALYSIS! (full story)

 Gay American Novelist Rolls in Pink Grave posted by snowy, 2011-01-05 22:48:46
Mark Twain, famous homosexual social commentator, journalist, raconteur, novelist and adventurer must be having a fit in fag heaven at the moment. An oft quoted Twainian statement, "the difference between the almost right word and the right word is … the difference between the lightening bug and lightning," becomes highly relevant today as the U.S., in true Orwellian mode, and without any intervention from the Capitol, flagrantly attempts to re-write American history.

U.S. Fears Becoming ‘Paper Tiger’ posted by dasha, 2011-01-04 18:55:42
“Darrell Issa, who will take over as chairman of the House of Representatives oversight committee and is calling for Mr Holder's resignation, said of Mr Assange in an interview on Sunday: ''If the President says, 'I can't deal with this guy as a terrorist,' then he has to be able to deal with him as a criminal. Otherwise the world is laughing at this paper tiger we've become.'' (full story and 1 comments)

 Climate Chaos posted by quin, 2010-12-31 19:02:19
The most underreported story of the past year – the mass media has chosen to replace Paris Hilton with Julian Assange as the major distraction -- is dramatic global climate change, the factors responsible and the huge negative social consequences that will result from the extreme weather conditions.

 Beware of Gross Simplifications posted by quill, 2010-12-29 19:24:46
It could easily be said that biological simplifications are ultra-conservative world views; we all remember the Nazi 'master race' and the, ‘them or us’ simplification of dubya Bush, “you’re either with us or you're with the terrorists!” Banal and simplistic statements/logic are indeed the hallmark of CONSERVATISM. It would seem that the brain function -- or rather lack thereof -- associated with the fear response relates directly to LOW LEVELS of INTELLIGENCE rather than physiology, and as our readership is well aware, knowledge dramatically reduces FEAR; put simply, we are afraid of what we do not know -- IGNORANCE in other words, as stated many times on this site, is the ‘MOTHER OF FEAR.’ (full story and 2 comments)

 The Assange Distraction, it’s Working! posted by bluey, 2010-12-25 06:41:57
Now that vociferous progressive feminists, Rachel Maddow included, are supporting the two Swedish women that have made “rape” allegations against Julian Assange, the principal issues of the WikiLeaks exposures have all but vanished from public view; would anyone care to guess what they are again – LOL? For those easily distracted by dykes, nerds and fame seekers of every hue, a gentle reminder; the main issues are ACCOUNTABILITY, STATE TERRORISM, and PURSUING WAR CRIMINALS in HIGH OFFICE etc. (full story and 1 comments)

 Think Nothing of it/YOU! posted by baz, 2010-12-24 20:48:45
Dr Mohamed Haneef, a ‘dark-skinned’ politically scapegoated and victimised Indian national, recently returned to Oz to receive fair, just and DUE compensation for the ordeal he suffered at the hands of the overtly RACIST Howard conservative government. The fervour with which Ministers and the ‘drunken dropkick’ Federal Police Chief of the time, Mick Keelty, pursued this gross injustice was, by Oz standards, quite extraordinary. Keelty spared no expense (millions of taxpayer dollars in fact) in the FAILED attempt to FRAME an INNOCENT MAN on terrorist charges. The Haneef scandal will forever stain the Australian historical record. (full story)

 Be Wise, be Careful, and be Devastatingly Effective posted by styx, 2010-12-23 20:45:38
Can you blame the youth of the world for resorting to violent tactics in Europe and fighting fire with fire? It is understandable; however, it plays into the hands of the ruling elites and gives them EVERY excuse to tighten their already constrictor-like grip on our liberties and freedoms.

Christmas for Secularists posted by dion, 2010-12-22 09:12:56
It’s that time of year again when Christians celebrate the birth of their saviour on the traditional winter solstice pagan calendar. That aside for the moment, it is remarkable how little Christians know about their religion. A good example is the outrageous consumerism and waste that occurs at this time of year, which would undoubtedly be condemned by the Christian saviour himself. Consider Jesus’ loathing of money and wealth; there is no record of Christ even carrying money, on the occasions the Gospels refer to money to illustrate a point, Jesus requests that it be brought to him! Aversion to money seems to be a widespread 'oversight' that affects most Christians and Christian theologians these days, especially the gold-laden Roman Catholic Church and other major Christian groups – brazen HYPOCRITES the lot of them!
