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. (full story)

  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.

 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)

 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? (full story)

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.

 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.
