Fall of the Great Pumpkin
Fall of the Great Pumpkin Welcome to the witching month when America’s entropy-fueled death-wish expresses itself with as much Halloween jollity and merriment as the old Christmas spirit of yore. The outdoor displays alone take on a Babylonian scale, thanks to the plastic factories of China. I saw a half-life-size T-Rex skeleton for sale at […]
US Media: Standards Tossed Overboard
US Media: Standards Tossed Overboard Internet development resulted in disappearance of America’s local media to benefit metropolitan mainstream outlets with large countrywide circulation. Predominantly pro-Democratic, they espouse liberal values, paying little attention to political views and everyday life problems of those who live outside megacities. The mainstream media have lost trust of provincial America to […]
How the US Became a Warmonger Police State
How the US Became a Warmonger Police State Professor David Ray Griffin is a tenacious person.

Sergey Lavrov Says US Media Reminds Him of Soviet Union’s “Pravda” Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov had a few choice words for the U.S. media during a press conference in Cyprus a few days after the NYT and WaPo unleashed a pair of dubiously sourced accusations about what was said between President Trump and the […]

Protests in Mexico Push Country to Brink of Revolution and Nobody’s Talking About It (ANTIMEDIA) San Diego, CA — Long-simmering social tensions in Mexico are threatening to boil over as failing neoliberal reforms to the country’s formerly nationalized gas sector are compounded by open corruption, stagnant standards of living, and rampant inflation. The U.S. media has remained mostly mute on […]
The Deep State Goes to War with President-Elect, Using Unverified Claims, as Democrats Cheer
The Deep State Goes to War with President-Elect, Using Unverified Claims, as Democrats Cheer IN JANUARY, 1961, Dwight Eisenhower delivered his farewell address after serving two terms as U.S. president; the five-star general chose to warn Americans of this specific threat to democracy: “In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought […]
Creating Russia/China Bogeymen
Creating Russia/China Bogeymen Relying on the most unreliable propaganda, Washington’s foreign policy establishment is seeking massive new military spending to counter Russian and Chinese “aggression” — when a more sober analysis would show these “threats” to be wildly exaggerated, as Gilbert Doctorow explains. Where Russia is concerned – and now also China – one can […]
U.S. Radically Changes Its Story of the Boats in Iranian Waters: to an Even More Suspicious Version
U.S. Radically Changes Its Story of the Boats in Iranian Waters: to an Even More Suspicious Version When news first broke of the detention of two U.S. ships in Iranian territorial waters, the U.S. media — aside from depicting it as an act of Iranian aggression — uncritically cited the U.S. government’s explanation for what happened. One of the […]

U.S. Media Condemns Iran’s “Aggression” in Intercepting U.S. Naval Ships — in Iranian Waters News broke last night, hours before President Obama’s State of the Union address, that two U.S. Navy ships “in the Persian Gulf” were “seized” by Iran, and the 10 sailors on board were “arrested.” The Iranian government quickly said, and even the U.S. government […]
A US Media Lost in Propaganda
A US Media Lost in Propaganda There was once a time – perhaps just a brief moment in time – when American journalists were cynical and responsible enough to resist being jerked around by U.S. government propaganda, but that time has long since passed if it ever existed, a reality that William Blum describes. Vulgar, […]
Was Turkey Behind Syria Sarin Attack?
Was Turkey Behind Syria Sarin Attack? From the Archive: As Washington pundits again demand Syrian President Assad’s ouster, a top talking point is that he “gassed his own people” in a Sarin attack in 2013. But that rush to judgment was picked apart by investigative journalist Seymour Hersh and others, as Robert Parry reported in spring 2014. In late August […]
Economic Crisis Goes Mainstream – What Happens Next?
Economic Crisis Goes Mainstream – What Happens Next? Last year, when alternative economic analysts were warning that the commodities crush and oil crash just after the taper of QE3 were blaring signals for a downshift in all other financial indicators, the general response in the mainstream was that we were overreacting and paranoid and that […]
US/Israeli/Saudi ‘Behavior’ Problems
US/Israeli/Saudi ‘Behavior’ Problems There is a madness in how the mainstream U.S. media presents the world to the American people, a delusional perspective that arguably creates an existential threat to humanity’s survival. We have seen this pattern in the biased depiction of the Ukraine crisis and now in how Official Washington is framing the debate over the Iranian […]
Where Porter is On and Off in Explaining US Media Bias on Saudi Aggression against Yemen
Where Porter is On and Off in Explaining US Media Bias on Saudi Aggression against Yemen In an important new article, award-winning journalist Gareth Porter notes that US and Western media are using the term “proxy war” as “a way of softening the harsh reality of Saudi aggression” against Yemen.
