Politics & Stuff

It's a shame we will never live the lifes we all dream.

Only the elite do what they want and controll everything else.

We are just free slaves with the illusion of actually owning something.

I sure do love internet censorship, harsher copyright laws, ISP spying, the limitation of free speech and empowering multi-national corporations. Thanks Obama! Thanks New Zealand! I love the TPP and TTIP!

You absolute fucking cunts. Jump into the ocean and I hope your gold lined pockets drowns you.

Wait until corporations start suing governments for health regulations that 'hurt their profits'.

Tobacco companies actually do it all the time in third world countries. They even did it in Australia and lost the case. But most third world country governments can't afford what the corporations are suing for so they just end up changing the laws made to protect their own citizens to avoid going to court. John Oliver did a decent piece on it some time ago.

Now just imagine that for oil companies suing against pollution regulations, or chemotherapy companies suing against funding for cancer cure research!

I sure can't wait for my girlfriend to have to pay even more money on her medical supplies that she needs to live! Oh boy, what a world we live in. I'm sure glad we are overpaying for medicine that should be generic! Thanks America! Even better will be when 'diabetes' manufacturers start suing company that is designing the bionic pancreas! Who needs more efficient ways to deliver insulin to a deprived body! Not me and my girlfriend!

Tobacco companies are losing incredibly fast in Australia. They can sue all they want but the Australian government past, present and future has tobacco by the balls and isn't letting go. I can't say what this bullshit fukcking TPP will do though; hopefully nothing as then the last two and a half decades of limiting tobacco's influence will be for nothing.

I am literally enraged by TPP and the subversive manner it is going through legislation.

Never mind fictional Breaking Bad. In real life Alberquerque, New Mexico, cops have shot dead 29 people in five years. Here they shoot a homeless man camping, then set the dogs on him.

Police in America are given a seige warfare mentality. It's hammered into their psyche that the world is 'Us Vs. Them'. The war on drugs doesn't help either. The common folk carry some heavy weaponary in America, assault rifles, shotguns, pistols, etc. So in turn the police are given military grade weaponry. People are surprised that police have a mean streak? Fucks sake people, don't surprised when someone has a gun they shoot it!

Interesting video.

Half of the people they have shot dead in Alberquerque have been mentally ill and unarmed. Disgusting.

Obama's only explanation right now is "Why would I sign something that bad?". I don't know, why don't you tell us. If its not that bad, why negotiate it in secret? Why ask for a fast track authority over it? If it is good for people not for corporations why is it not shared with the public but shared with hundreds of corporate lobbyist lawyers?

There is still chance, even if incredible slim, now that the senate refused to give him fast-track authority. But every single NGO, union, community organization, church, activist...etc. need to act now before it reaches congress.

Incidentally, today happens to be the 30s anniversary of the Philadelphia police bombing a residential neighborhood to target a black libiration organization. 11 people died including 5 children. The entire neighborhood was burned down leaving 250 people homeless.

I wonder how many young people now in the US actually know of this...

I think you are refering to the Tulsa Riot which happened in 1920 and not in Phile.

No, I'm referring to the May 1985 bombing of the MOVE organization by the Phile police. Google it. You won't find much about it in mainstream media sources, you'll find it in non-corporate media sources, you might find something in wikipedia.

Well the Tulsa Riot was way worse and sort of similar.

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Yes, but this draws many similarities to what is still happening now. It was in the near future, after the civil rights movements, and committed by the police. Btw, just like almost all the cases of police brutality now, no one from the police was charged. They bombed a residential area, prevented firefighters from extinguishing the fire, shot at people attempting to escape the fire, let five children burn to death and no one was even charged of anything.

But late, what are your thoughts on Dzhokhar Tsarnaev being sentenced to death for his role in the Boston Bombings?

strap him up with explosives and blow him up...see how he likes it

It's basically a decision that induces a lot of ant-US sentiment and ensures the creation of more people like him. Violence creates more violence.

Regardless of the case itself, capital punishment is always the barbaric and cowardly choice.

Islamic State militants have taken near complete control of the Syrian city of Palmyra, home to some of the world's most magnificent ancient ruins.

There are fears that the militants will destroy the ruins, which Unesco has designated a World Heritage site.

They'll only destroy what can't be easily transported to be sold. Did the same in the Iraqi museums.

More worryingly, ISIS now controls over 50% of the areas in Syria after taking Palmyra. The war in/on Syria is going to last at least 10-15 more years, imo.
