The Cornerstone Freedom – Speech posted by lex, 2019-07-18 00:36:44 Today we live in a “post-truth, post-modern” culture where anything goes except FREE SPEECH/expression; well, needless to say I have been dragged into court on numerous occasions for my traditional views and language and have not lost one case, costs, including my lost $250/hour as a consultant, have always been covered by the 'politically correct' loser, which in Oz law occurs most of the time, bench discretion notwithstanding.

 PM Morrison's 'Religious Freedom' bill Hits Reality Fan posted by Phoebe Hosier via jane, 2019-07-17 22:50:11 Reprehensible political opportunist (the Folau case) PM Scott Morrison, is playing with fire with his proposed 'Religious Freedom' bill. This is what happens when religious fantacists and delusional fanatics attempt to impose their un-real, implausible and irrational religious views on a secular/reality based State. Good luck with the bill Scomo, you exposed reprehensible, opportunist, FRAUD! You already know that Folau is in breach of the contract he signed, therefore has no legal case in his "unfair dismissal" claim, but that didn't stop you trying to EXPLOIT the situation politically, you are as transparent as wet tissue, you disgrace!
All religions are FICTIONS proven by the FACT that MAN wrote ALL religious texts, therefore, all Gods, 10,000 since recorded history, have been created by MAN. Everything you divorced from reality religionists know about your respective God has been written by man. So who is the real creator of all Gods, stupid? (full story) prose / international
Putin Breaks out of the Antiquated Thought Box posted by Matthew Ehret via darcy, 2019-07-17 00:58:33 Whether or not Putin is serious or not I do not know, however, to hear of his visionary thoughts and our human responsibility to our children and a sustainable future is a breath of fresh air compared to the usual vision-less, polluting crap we hear from other world leaders today. I hope it becomes infectious, as the world is sick and tired of the usual negative radio blah blah and the shit that issues from the mouths of dead-head, puppet western politicians.

Election 2020 USA posted by james, 2019-07-16 22:49:16 The American (unthinking) population (herd) is already being media-primed for the 2020 presidential election, the mass AND alternative media (shame on you) are awash with related stories/fictions regarding same; however, ALL coverage focuses on a binary choice between known vomits and turds – how could the American population be so easily led to the slaughter AGAIN when it is crystal clear US politicians that represent one of two major parties are pathological LIARS and duplicitous, reprehensible sell-outs? Surely this must be a case of mass cultural masochism, a cultural pathology, sickness? (full story) prose / international
Worshipping Media Electronic Images posted by Chris Hedges via jason, 2019-07-15 20:51:44 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 posted by Caitlin Johnstone via stella, 2019-07-14 22:19:25 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! posted by David William Pear via libby, 2019-07-14 00:41:47 "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.] (full story) prose / international
Restoring LOST Democracies posted by dee, 2019-07-13 00:14:58 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 posted by darcy, 2019-07-12 22:04:22 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 posted by jake, 2019-07-12 02:07:52 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.

Relating to, "Political Correctness Clashes with Conservative Religious Belief" posted by Marika Stein via cyd, 2019-07-11 04:02:43 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 posted by Pepe Escobar via claire, 2019-07-11 01:48:41 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. (full story) prose / international
 The Taliban Have Won in Afghanistan posted by Brian Cloughley via stella, 2019-07-11 01:35:52 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 posted by Pepe Escobar via gayle, 2019-07-11 01:25:23 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.
