Google, your data suppression methods are obvious, easily recorded, abysmally inept and generally pathetic.
The simple fact that you actively engage in suppressing this and other alternative news sites means we have won and TRUTH will prevail in the end.

Worshipping Media Electronic Images
Chris Hedges via jason, Monday, Jul 15 2019, 8:51pm
Donald Trump, like much of the American public, is entranced by electronic images. He interprets reality through the distortions of digital media. His decisions, opinions, political positions, prejudices and sense of self are reflected back to him on screens. He views himself and the world around him as a vast television show with himself as the star. His primary concerns as president are his ratings, his popularity and his image. He is a creature—maybe the poster child—of the modern, post-literate culture, a culture that critics such as Marshall McLuhan, Daniel Boorstin, James W. Carey and Neil Postman warned us about.

Government That Tortures Journalists [Assange] Bans RT From 'Media Freedom' Conference
Caitlin Johnstone via stella, Sunday, Jul 14 2019, 10:19pm
This blatantly HYPOCRITICAL act by the British Foreign Office is staggering to say the very least but as we know it's par for the course today, where shadowy powers are now openly attempting to control the free flow of information in the western world. Censorship and shaped information, commonly known as PROPAGANDA, disseminated by the western mainstream media is clearly under threat from numerous independent and opposing media voices/sources -- the solution for mainstream media is simple, eliminate ALL dissenting, questioning and opposing voices in order to misinform the population and maintain what has proven to be a LYING mainstream media discourse that serves elite only interests, pure and simple. The fact that it's now in the open and unchallenged is disconcerting for freedom loving people everywhere, as without Truth society is lost to those (elites) that control available information.

Iran Should Never Trust a US Promise Again; nor should Anybody Else!
David William Pear via libby, Sunday, Jul 14 2019, 12:41am
"My name is wasi'chu. I know thee, I have found thee, & I will not let thee go."
The Lakota were the first people who lived on the northern plains of what today is the United States. Lakota means "human beings". Wasi'chu is their word for a human condition based on inhumanity, racism, exploitation, and greed. It is a sickness, a seemingly incurable, contagious and fatal disease, which begot the ever-advancing society of the West".["The Continuing Indian Wars", by Bruce Johansen and Robert Maestas.]

Restoring LOST Democracies
dee, Saturday, Jul 13 2019, 12:14am
Democracy by definition is rule by the MAJORITY, either directly or via Representation, which is more practical. However, what happens when our representatives renege on the deal and immediately begin to act in the interests of wealthy minorities? Answer: Democracy DIES, as there is no such thing as minority rule in any democracy, YET that is exactly the reality in every so-called democracy in the world today.

Details Behind the Political Stoush Between Political Correctness and Religion in Oz
darcy, Friday, Jul 12 2019, 10:04pm
It had to happen sooner or later. Rabid political correctness (PC) vs established conservative political institutions, in this case Religion, and what a pathetic and revealing exposure it is turning out to be.

 More to the Oz Folau Debate than meets the superficial Eye
jake, Friday, Jul 12 2019, 2:07am
Religion is a belief system which ideologies/beliefs avoid the rigours of reason, the rational and common sense, religion's implausible and impossible claims which cannot and never will be substantiated should not be allowed to interfere with reason and the rational for obvious reasons, particularly myth, fiction and fantasy applied to REAL situations in the REAL world, as quite clearly, it would lead society back to the superstitious dark ages.

Please forgive my comment in the publishing section but I couldn't resist as the issue of 'political correctness' is affecting Australian and other western societies to an alarming degree.

The Deep State vs. WikiLeaks
Pepe Escobar via claire, Thursday, Jul 11 2019, 1:48am
The Made by FBI indictment of Julian Assange does look like a dead man walking. No evidence. No documents. No surefire testimony. Just a crossfire of conditionals. But never underestimate the legalese contortionism of US government (USG) functionaries. As much as Assange may not be characterized as a journalist and publisher, the thrust of the affidavit is to accuse him of conspiring to commit espionage. (story and 1 image)

The Taliban Have Won in Afghanistan
Brian Cloughley via stella, Thursday, Jul 11 2019, 1:35am
On June 26 two US special forces soldiers were killed in Afghanistan, bringing the total of US military personnel who have died in that useless war to 2429, according to Casualties, an independent casualty tracker. No matter what one might think about the rights and wrongs of the war in Afghanistan, it is sad to record such fatalities, and the question that comes to mind is: What did they die for?

Debunking the Indo-Pacific Myth
Pepe Escobar via gayle, Thursday, Jul 11 2019, 1:25am
The Trump administration is obsessively spinning the concept of a “free and open Indo-Pacific”. Apart from a small coterie of scholars, very few people around the world, especially across the Global South, know what that means since the then incipient strategy was first unveiled at the 2017 APEC forum in Vietnam.

Political Correctness Clashes with Conservative Religious Belief
Tom Westbrook via jane, Wednesday, Jul 10 2019, 11:27pm
As a textual analyst this story is a treat. It was triggered by a religious national rugby player, Israel Folau, stating on instagram that all homosexuals, drunks, adulterers/fornicators and other 'deviants' would all go to hell, which claims under one category or the other, include the entire earth's population of humans, as everyone has fornicated and those that haven't are masturbators, as American Christian Evangelicals are noted to be the largest group that views and downloads porn. But it gets better, as Folau was sacked by some Rugby authority for his politically incorrect outburst, notwithstanding that religious belief is a personal matter. So the REAL story is in the secondary layer discourse not the primary as presented by the media, in which political opportunists now revel, as will be explained below. (story and 1 image)

 Who Are The Masters of WAR? -- Watch
Pepe Escobar and Eddie Conway via jane, Monday, Jul 8 2019, 8:10pm
The title is indeed a good question as the masters of war NEVER do the fighting and dying, WE do that, convinced by LIES, orchestrated propaganda and pretexts, designed to present a profitable target as a threat. I refer all readers to the lyrics of Bob Dylan's, "Masters of War" and General Smedley Butler's "War is a Racket" and this poem if in any doubt regarding who the nefarious interests are that provoke mass murdering illegal wars for the PROFIT of the few.

Going Nuclear in the Antipodes: Australia’s Megadeath Complex
Binoy Kampmark via james, Monday, Jul 8 2019, 2:57am
The antipodes has had a fraught relationship with the nuclear option. At the distant ends of the earth, New Zealand took a stand against the death complex, assuming the forefront of restricting the deployment of nuclear assets in its proximity. This drove Australia bonkers with moral envy and strategic fury. The New Zealand Nuclear Free Zone, Disarmament and Arms Control Act 1987 made the country a nuclear and biological weapons-free area. It was a thumbing, defiant gesture against the United States, but what is sometimes forgotten is that it was also a statement to other powers – including France – who might venture to experiment and test their weapons in the Pacific environs.
