Happy New Year — Bail-In Passed for Europe’s Banks
Happy New Year — Bail-In Passed for Europe’s Banks The mainstream media is not extensively reporting on the “experimental” bail-in that the EU imposed on Cyrus.

How the Public Get Suckered
How the Public Get Suckered The US aristocracy’s control over all the mainstream ‘news’ is ironclad – and this includes the political magazines, such as National Review, and The Nation; as well as ‘intellectual’ magazines, such as Harpers and The Atlantic. American ‘news’ media stifle democracy in America; they’re not part of democracy, in America. They’re like poison that’s presented as being ‘medicine’ […]
America’s Debt to Bradley Manning
America’s Debt to Bradley Manning From the Archive: The U.S. mainstream media is again embracing a U.N. report critical of Iran’s alleged past work on a nuclear bomb, but leaks from Pvt.

6 Positive Signs That Mainstream Media is Collapsing There is an information awakening taking place right now, and mainstream media is being outed for what it really is: corporate and government controlled propaganda.

PBS Joins the MSM’s Syria-Russia Bias
PBS Joins the MSM’s Syria-Russia Bias Mainstream U.S. media systematically excludes points of view on world affairs that deviate from Official Washington’s “group think.” With no lessons learned from the Iraq-WMD debacle, the MSM only lets on establishment or right-wing pundits with conformist points of view on crises with Syria and Russia, notes Rick Sterling. PBS Newshour is considered high-quality journalism by many […]

FOURTH TURNING – SOCIAL & CULTURAL DISTRESS DIVIDING THE NATION I wrote the first three parts of this article back in September and planned to finish it in early October, but life intervened and truthfully I don’t think I was ready to confront how bad things will likely get as this Fourth Turning moves into […]

Why NYT Dissed the ‘Drone Papers’
Why NYT Dissed the ‘Drone Papers’ When the “Downing Street Memo” surfaced in the UK in 2006 revealing that the intelligence to justify the Iraq War had been “fixed” around the policy, the mainstream U.S. media largely ignored it. The same has now happened with the leak of documents about President Obama’s drone war, writes John […]
Globalization and Terror
Globalization and Terror For people in the modern world, there may be nothing more difficult to comprehend than the group calling itself the Islamic State, or ISIS. The beheadings, rapes, and other acts of cruelty seem beyond understanding, as does the wanton destruction of priceless ancient monuments. Perhaps most mystifying of all is the way […]
Can’t Anyone Fix This?
Can’t Anyone Fix This? The legacy mainstream media has a collective brain like dog’s — it exists in an eternal present, so that whatever’s happening right now is all there is. Thus, Hillary’s performance in the first Democratic debate, being as bad but not worse than her competitors’, means she has a lock on the […]
The Stooge and the Statesman
The Stooge and the Statesman If your bubble has burst, you can hardly listen to him through to the end. And if you somehow succeed you will develop an increased awareness of his deception. And of your own disgust. Over 4,700 words that perfectly fit the narrative that the mainstream media daily foist off on […]

The Stock Markets Of The 10 Largest Global Economies Are All Crashing You would think that the simultaneous crashing of all of the largest stock markets around the world would be very big news.
