The taxpayer-funded Australian Broadcasting Corporation (the ABC) is Australia’s equivalent of the UK BBC. Like the UK BBC, the ABC has an appalling record of remorseless lying by omission and lying by commission. The extent of this travesty by the ABC can be readily assessed by using the ABC Search Engine that enables one to “search the entire ABC site” for patent falsehoods that the ABC promulgates and for horrendous truths that it refuses to report. The most appalling Awful Truth that the (…)

US lackey Australia recently announced during the visit to Australia of US President Obama that 2,500 US Marines will be indefinitely based in Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia, and that there will be increased use of Australia by the US Navy and the US Air Force.
Decent anti-war Australians are appalled at this cementing of Australian association with genocidal US state terrorism just as the US Alliance is about to leave Iraq (4.6 million war-related deaths, 1990-2011) and is (…)

"There seems to be a growing anger maybe resentment is a better word - about the celebrations scheduled for Thursday for the Libya mission. The Harper government has planned a full-on extravaganza with a flyby of 10 aircraft over Parliament Hill and a medal awards ceremony attended by the Prime Minister himself for Lt. Gen. Charles Bouchard, who oversaw the NATO mission that helped oust Moammar Gadhafi...

Stop the War will be joining CND in a Cut War not Welfare - Jobs
not Bombs contingent on the November 30th demonstration in London
called by public sector trade unions. There will be similar
demonstrations up and down the country - we urge our supporters
to join them.
One third of the budget deficit could be wiped out by ending
spending on foreign wars and scrapping trident. Reports today say
that even if NATO leaves Afghanistan the West will be picking up

Truth Wins Out’s acclaimed Center Against Religious Extremism (TWOCARE), offers original, in-depth, and on-site reporting.
“Please, come join us,” insisted an attractive college student flashing her bright Aquafresh smile.
Before I was able to decline her friendly invitation I was gently pulled into a large prayer circle of thirty or so Charismatic Christians. “I’m sorry my hand is sweaty,” the girl said with a sheepish grin.
Those were the last words she spoke that I understood. We (…)

I wonder which republican candidate, in this debate, will promise the largest cuts to Social Security and medicare and SWEAR not to raise taxes on the rich who currently pay little to nothing? (ask Warren Buffet who wants, incidentally, to pay more in taxes) Which one will promise bigger war budgets than Obama’s already HUGE-ER-THAN-BUSH one? Who will propose the Xtian version of Muslim Sharia law? Does one of them hate gays more than another? And who will waterboard the most, uh, entrapped (…)

There is a conspiracy of silence about the war in Afghanistan, despite the fact
that the occupation is in growing trouble. Five British soldiers have died in
the last ten days but their deaths have barely been reported. Britain and the
US are trying to push an agreement that they can keep thousands of soldiers in
the country after the so-called withdrawal date of 2014. Polls show this is
deeply unpopular with the Afghans. On Saturday 1,000 students marched against
the deal in (…)

America’s majority who supported the Occupy Wall Street movement (OWS), within the 99% of all Americans, are being smeared by agent propagandists within the punditry of mainstream media (MSM). For example, Michael Gerson’s black demagoguery, of the closet-right-wing Washington Post, is a good example. In one of his recent columns he declared the OWS movement seems little more than a “…confused set of grievances…” and paints the movement to have little ideological coherence save Marxist (…)

Last February, euphoric celebrations followed Mubarak’s ouster. Across the Middle East and North Africa, people rejoiced.
Activist Saed Karazon told AFP:
"What happened in Egypt is not only for the Egyptian people, it is for all Arabs. The whole Arab world is going to change."
A month earlier, Zine El Abidine Ben Ali fled Tunisia for Saudi Arabia following weeks of violent protests. A Tunis student said, "It’s wonderful. Two dictators have fallen in less than a month."
In Cairo, (…)

by John Seed, Dissident Voice - Ad Hoc Committee to Oppose the Halifax War Conference
Halifax, the principal NATO port on the North Atlantic and the headquarters of Maritime Command, is hosting yet another “Halifax International Security Forum” November 18-20 for the third year in a row. Three hundred hand-picked militarists will be occupying the luxurious Halifax Westin Hotel at the expense of the Canadian taxpayer. Participation in the HISF is by invitation only; the people are excluded. (…)
