 It Doesn't Hit Until it Hits YOU! posted by jaxie, 2019-12-01 23:27:05
Sydney's five million insouciant, insular population has recently been woken to the real effects of climate change and increased bushfires, while it chokes on yet another toxic cloud of smoke but this time from the south, as the only direction no fires burn is the eastern seaboard – smoke from the north, south and west empty into the Sydney city basin and it affects everyone including pets; the beautiful harbour city is now one of the most polluted in the world, well done Oz State and Federal governments that have had decades to prepare for the effects of climate change and increased bush fires with controlled back burning policies and provisions/regulations for the elimination of accumulated fuel. And for those that imagine such controlled back burning kills flora and fauna, well wake to the fact that it kills far less than out of control bush fires that literally rage and travel scorched earth across the land.

 Spreading 'Democracy' the American Way posted by Larry Romanoff via jess, 2019-11-30 20:32:16
The list is BLANK. But how can that be? We all know that the US has freed dozens of nations from their evil and repressive governments, and installed loving democracies where people lived happily ever after, swamped with freedoms and overwhelmed with human rights. We know this because we’ve read and heard it hundreds, or maybe thousands, of times. It’s in all the US history books. We’ve seen it in so many movies and even read it in comic books when we were kids. It must be true. So why is the list empty? How can that be? (full story)

 Impeachment, Impeachment and the 'News' of Distraction posted by stella, 2019-11-27 19:46:09
Donald Trump as president has received more news coverage during his term as president than all previous presidents put together – now that is something worthy of note as we all know that the concentrated mass media is owned and controlled by elite (CFR members) plutocrats that ensure a particular TAILORED coverage that is in their and other elite interests – have you not noted that the mass, and to a large extend alternative media, is led by an obvious scripted narrative – they CLEARLY sing in chorus and unison a reality never seen previously when the mass media was independent and diverse?

Nobody Can Stop the 'Music' posted by netta, 2019-11-24 21:43:10
Excuse the lyric quote from a once popular Village People song, but it is appropriate, the 'music' in this instance is TRUTH and its dissemination, which today's mass media has failed miserably to broadcast -- it now specialises in distraction, misinformation, omissions, out right LIES and PROPAGANDA, as should be obvious to ALL – anyone that views, listens, reads or believes anything from mainstream media outlets, including digital tech social media outlets, is being managed by a clearly sinister group that maintains its power behind the scenes by controlling the dominant (fictional) cultural narrative, and these forces are now attempting to CENSOR alternative, independent news outlets that continue to publish accurate information.

Putin Exposes US Protection Racket posted by staff report via jess, 2019-11-23 21:06:50
The USA is currently engaged in extorting protection money from its allies in NATO, South Korea, Japan and elsewhere. The gangster line is very simple, 'we are protecting you so you must pay for that protection!' Indeed, protecting us from WHAT? China and Russia have no military expansionist ambitions plain to see today, however, one nation stands out as a mass murdering, violent expansionist nation, guess? Yes, the USA, simply check its heinous murdering track record over the past few decades to confirm. So the question begs, which nation does the world need to protect itself from? Yes, rogue, gangster State, America. (full story)

 Unspeakable Memories: The Day John F Kennedy was Murdered posted by Edward Curtin via claire, 2019-11-23 20:10:58
There is a vast literature on the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, who died on a November 22nd Friday in 1963. I have contributed my small share to such writing in an effort to tell the truth, honor him, and emphasize its profound importance in understanding the history of the last fifty-six years, but more importantly, what is happening in the U.S.A. today. In other words, to understand it in its most gut-wrenching reality: that the American national security state will obliterate any president that dares to buck its imperial war-making machine. It is a lesson not lost on all presidents since Kennedy. (full story)

 The CIA and FBI Are Corrupt, but What About Congress? posted by Philip Giraldi via jaxie, 2019-11-23 19:39:30
The developing story about how the US intelligence and national security agencies may have conspired to influence and possibly even reverse the results of the 2016 presidential election is compelling, even if one is disinclined to believe that such a plot would be possible to execute. Not surprisingly perhaps there have been considerable introspection among former and current officials who have worked in those and related government positions, many of whom would agree that there is urgent need for a considerable restructuring and reining in of the 17 government agencies that have some intelligence or law enforcement function. Most would also agree that much of the real damage that has been done has been the result of the unending global war on terror launched by George W. Bush and Dick Cheney, which has showered the agencies with resources and money while also politicizing their leadership and freeing them from restraints on their behavior. (full story)
