#BurnAusterity: Join a ‘Bonfire of Austerity’ action near you

4 November 2013 — Change:How?

They seem to come out once a year, talk a lot and then disappear until the next crisis comes along. It’s all slick PR stuff, no doubt pro bono work from a mind-fucker but what does it all mean and does it lead anywhere?  I mean really, “pin the blame on Cameron”? But not on capitalism? Burn your energy bill? I despair WB]

Tomorrow’s ‘Bonfire of Austerity’ looks set to be one of the biggest days of action for many years. Actions are taking place up and down the country as people are forced into poverty, forced to choose whether to heat the home or put food on the table and forced into the hands of legal loan sharks.

The EyeOpener- PSYOPS 101: The Technology of Psych Warfare

13 November 2012Boiling Frogs

As we have examined in this special series of EyeOpener reports on psychological warfare in recent weeks, Psychological Operations, or PSYOPS, are every bit as vital to military strategists today as they ever were. In fact, in this age of 24/7 online access and the possibilities for new battlegrounds in the “information battlespace” that it affords, Psyops may be even more important than they have ever been in “winning the hearts and minds” (or at least confusing and stupefying the hearts and minds) of enemies the world over.

Bloodbath in Syria By Alexey Pilko

2 November, 2012Voice of Russia

????? ????? ????? ????? ????? ??????????

It is now evident that the recent ceasefire was violated Syria by the radical opposition groups. The terrorist’s activities led to numerous victims and, what is unthinkable, the United Nations was unable to condemn them.

This is due to the irrational and short sighted approach to the Syrian crisis, taken by Western powers. The situation is absolutely clear: it is a vivid example of a policy of double standards demonstrated by the United States, Britain and France.
