Reacting to antagonized Palestinian snowballing protests to her government’s decision on June 5 to reverse a 47-year old bipartisan consensus on describing eastern Jerusalem as “occupied,” Foreign Minister Julie Bishop on June 13 denied any “change in the Australian government’s position.”
On June 5, Australian Attorney-General George Brandis in a statement said: ’’The description of East Jerusalem as ’Occupied East Jerusalem’ is a term freighted with pejorative (…)

GENOCIDE, GREAT WARS, AND OTHER HUMAN DEPRAVITY
16 June 2014GENOCIDE, GREAT WARS, AND OTHER HUMAN DEPRAVITY
John Chuckman
The word genocide, coined in 1944 in an effort to describe what the Nazis called “the final solution” and what today we call the Holocaust, attempted to distinguish the crime of killing people of a certain identity in such great numbers that you tried eliminating them as a group. Earlier in that century, there had been the mass murder of Armenians by the Turks, an event Hitler once cynically reminded associates was not even (…) -

How long will we stay quiet?
14 June 2014Everyone by now knows that the politicians lie and the media misinform. But nobody seem to care. The World is being pushed to the brink of a global conflict by the same people who brought us disintegration of Yugoslavia, destruction of Afghanistan (like it needed to be more destroyed), total collapse and mayhem which is now Iraq and total obliteration of Libya.
Now, since causing another state to be a failed state (Syria) is not moving to hell fast enough, we got another created mayhem, (…) -
Apartheid Australia backs Apartheid Israel & rejects term "Occupied"for OPT
10 June 2014Australia is a world-leading country in men’s rugby union, women’s netball, and men’s and women’s hockey and cricket, but a politically correct racist (PC racist) Apartheid Australia under an extreme right wing, pro-Zionist, US lackey Coalition government has moved to be the world’s leading supporter after the US of race-based, nuclear terrorist, genocidally racist, democracy-by-genocide Apartheid Israel.
The right-wing, pro-Zionist, pro-war, terracidal and frighteningly Orwellian (…) -
An Argument for Raising the Minimum Wage
9 June 2014Yes, if you raise the minimum wage consumer prices will most likely rise, but so what? They should rise if you are to be honest about what goods should cost. Wages and prices for goods are as low as they are because companies are not paying their workers a living wage and are not paying the full cost of production. If workers are not receiving a living wage how are they staying alive?
They are staying alive because their wages are subsidized by the US government with food stamps and the (…) -
Charles Thiemele & Damalex: the Ivory Coast Syndrome
8 June 2014For a long time Switzerland has been an essential place for oil trading. Several multinational heavy weights are Swiss based, i.e.Glencore, Vitol or Trafigura. In order to take advantage by all means of oil windfalls numerous smaller companies were established in the shadow of these large groups. Damalex, a Swiss-Ivory Coast firm, is a typical example of this new type of black gold diggers!
An empty shell
Damalex is a multi-activities consultancy agency, specializing in the oil and gas (…) -
AMERICA’S FEDERAL JUDICIARY: THE BEST "JUST US" MONEY CAN BUY
7 June 2014Anyone who enrolls in an American law school usually encounters two types of students: those who are self-serving, opportunistic, (and sometimes sociopathic), and thus view their legal education as a pathway to financial prosperity and/or a means to acquire power over their fellow human beings; and those who are idealists and hope to use the law to combat injustice and remedy social wrongs.
In fairness, many of these idealists are not completely altruistic, because the causes they desire (…) -
Climate change inaction by pro-gas, climate criminal Obama’s coal-to-gas plan
6 June 2014The climate emergency has finally been recognized as a serious issue by the Obama Administration. However the latest policy announcement on climate change by President Obama - 30% off 2005 greenhouse gas (GHG) pollution of America’s dirty power plants by 2030 enforceable by the US Environment Protection Authority (EPA) under the Clean Air Act [1, 2] - represents too little too late and falls far short of what is needed to address the worsening climate crisis. Thus the annual GHG (…)
