Exploiting Emotions About Paris to Blame Snowden, Distract from Actual Culprits Who Empowered ISIS
Exploiting Emotions About Paris to Blame Snowden, Distract from Actual Culprits Who Empowered ISIS Whistleblowers are always accused of helping America’s enemies (top Nixon aides accused Daniel Ellsberg of being a Soviet spy and causing the deaths of Americans with his leak); it’s just the tactical playbook that’s automatically used. So it’s of course unsurprising that ever since Edward Snowden’s […]

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 […]

The ‘Anti-Knowledge’ of the Elites
The ‘Anti-Knowledge’ of the Elites Exclusive: It’s fairly easy to spot the “anti-knowledge” spouted by the Tea Party and the Religious Right’s favorite candidates, but a more subtle form of reality-deprived “group think” pervades America’s elites though it is rarely noted in the polite circles of the mainstream media, writes Mike Lofgren. In a previous piece, I […]

BBC Protects U.K.’s Close Ally Saudi Arabia With Incredibly Dishonest and Biased Editing The BBC loves to boast about how “objective” and “neutral” it is.

The Importance of the Official 9/11 Myth
The Importance of the Official 9/11 Myth People sometimes wonder why is it important to investigate the alleged hijackers and others officially accused of committing the 9/11 crimes. After all, the accused 19 hijackers could not have accomplished most of what happened. The answer is that the official accounts are important because they are part […]

MH-17 Case: ‘Old’ Journalism vs. ‘New’
MH-17 Case: ‘Old’ Journalism vs. ‘New’ Exclusive: For skilled intelligence operatives, the Internet can be a devil’s playground, a place to circulate doctored photos, audio and documents, making investigations based on “social media” and such sources particularly risky, a point worth recalling in the mystery of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17, says Robert Parry. The first thing any thinking person learns […]

Red Swan Descending The proverbial peddlers of Florida swampland can now move over. They can’t hold a candle to the red suzerains of Beijing. The latter had drawn a line in the sand at 7.0% GDP growth. Conveniently enough, the “consensus” estimate of so-called street economists was pegged at 6.8% for Q3, thereby giving authorities one thin decimal point through which to thread a “beat” at 6.9%. By golly they did it! Even […]
The New Cold War and the Death of the Discourse
The New Cold War and the Death of the Discourse The truth is often ignored, at first, and when that becomes impossible, truth-tellers are often punished. As two incidents starkly reveal, this is certainly the case when it comes to the civil war in Ukraine and Washington’s unfolding cold war with Russia. The first illustration […]
