Disingenuous PM, Scott Morrison Political Correctness Clashes with Conservative Religious Belief posted by Tom Westbrook via jane, 2019-07-10 23:27:14
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. (full story)

Who Are The Masters of WAR? -- Watch posted by Pepe Escobar and Eddie Conway via jane, 2019-07-08 20:10:14
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 posted by Binoy Kampmark via james, 2019-07-08 02:57:31
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.

Lackey Royal Marines seize Iranian tanker under Orders from US posted by Chris Marsden via gus, 2019-07-07 23:25:41
Britain’s seizure of an Iranian supertanker carrying 2 million barrels of oil is an act of piracy and a major escalation in tensions that threaten to spiral out of control. It was carried out at the behest of the United States as part of the campaign of military provocations and economic sabotage against Tehran. (full story)

FREEDOM at Issue posted by nano, 2019-07-06 22:39:53
The most popular word that western politicians blurt like oral farts is, freedom, yet it is never defined in a practical sense due to the FACT that freedom does not exist in western democracies or any other political system. (full story)

Google's new 'Real Time' Censorship is Big Brother Technology posted by Kit Knightly via stella, 2019-07-06 00:41:37
Google has changed its algorithms so that it actively suppresses "misinformation" when "bad events" are taking place. This is big news if you're interested in free speech or the free flow of information though nobody in the [mass] media treated it that way. In fact, you probably didn't even see it at all. Almost no papers covered it and the major one that did, The Guardian, buried it back in the "science and technology" section. (full story)

Lock them up! Gamble of the Century – Unprovoked WAR with Iran posted by fran, 2019-07-05 23:11:00
An independent Australian journalist recently published an article with substantial support of her claims that war with Iran is imminent. If this report is accurate and at this stage everything points to its veracity, then we ALL could be doomed as today there is no such thing as a minor conflict involving superpowers, we know that Russia and China both support Iran.

Unrepresentative Criminal Leaders We ARE Easily Able to STOP All Wars and Eliminate Unrepresentative Governments posted by Shirley Leung via stacey, 2019-07-05 21:42:44
Former president Jimmy Carter recently made a profound and damning statement — the United States is the “most warlike nation in the history of the world.” Carter contrasted the United States with China, saying that China is building high-speed trains for its people while the United States is putting all of its resources into mass destruction. Where are high-speed trains in the United States, Carter appropriately wondered. (full story)

Goodbye Dollar as World Reserve Currency posted by Philip Giraldi via gus, 2019-07-04 22:56:43
How the US managed to trick the world into using its currency as the world reserve currency I do not know as it was a recipe for obvious abuse. Alan Greenspan, former 'Federal' Reserve (privately owned) chairman, when questioned on America's burgeoning debt and possible national bankruptcy laughed and said, "we would simply print our way out of debt," to paraphrase. Now wouldn't it be nice if we could all do that? Who allowed this privately owned bank such power? Why, of course the US government, says a lot about fake democracy doesn't it? But the world wore it until it became obvious -- during the Vietnam war -- that America began to abuse its 'printing' privilege due to the fact that the monetary costs of the Indo-Chinese war had blown the national budget.

'O, say can you SEE ..' The Flag – A Colored Piece of Cloth posted by rex, 2019-07-03 23:25:32
It's the 4th of July in fantasy land America, whoopee!

As an international citizen I recall the infamous words of George W Bush referring disdainfully to the American Constitution and Founding documents as “pieces of paper” and then attempting to substitute himself, commander-in-chief, as the sole authority of the land, what a travesty I thought and I'm an Aussie. Where was the revolution to remove such a treasonous government, as is outlined and obliged in the founding documents? Nowhere, and where is America today, in the same place, nowhere -- America has lost its raison d'etre without which no nation/entity is able to survive. (full story)

Unmasking Criminal Ruling Elites and Their Propaganda Apparatus posted by Prof. Nils Melzer via james, 2019-07-02 21:35:44
The following extract, follow link below for entire article, highlights one of the fundamental tricks that modern propaganda utilises to deceive the masses -- put simply it is shifting focus away from the important issue, in this case the war and other crimes against humanity perpetrated by elites and their political puppets in the west onto a distraction, in this case an editor in chief of an independent publishing house, Wikileaks, notwithstanding that the editor in chief, 'it's all about me,' stupid Julian Assange made the task very easy indeed but that is not the point.

Conformity, Regulation and FREEDOM posted by lex, 2019-06-28 23:44:29
As a tertiary student some decades past I was force fed Foucault . After reading his texts it became evident that all were the result of Foucault's personal dilemmas as a homosexual in what was then conservative ruled society and what he had been subjected to in order to 'cure' his/that condition, 'illness' of homosexuality; I am able to make light of it today but for Foucault, as regulated victim, it was traumatic, as is easily determined from his textual productions.
