In an authoritarian state that is diverging from the rule of law (such as the country we have now), obedience and “going along to get along” are held up as the primary virtues.

All the evil doers are “just following orders. ”

But some people stand up and say no.

They pay a terrible price and we should support and honor them.

Big money makers, useless and dangerous

Honest doctors telling the truth.

Yes, it occasionally happens.

Honest doctors telling the truth about stents, angioplasties, colonoscopies, flu shots, HPV vaccines, mammograms, and other medical scams.

What do all these procedures have in common?

They make doctors a ton of money.

On this day in 2013, documents liberated by Edward Snowden and published by the Guardian revealed the existence of a massive Illegal surveillance system used against US citizens by the NSA.

A talk with Edward Snowden about how far gone we are…

And what we must do to take the Internet back.

If you don’t know the kinds of things Snowden discovered about the ways the Internet is abused by the US government and corporations, this will be eye opening.

Please share widely

A very important video. I strongly encourage you to watch and share widely.

Ron Paul makes the case as clearly as it can me made both from a speech he gave years ago and recent comments.

The attack on Julian Assange is an attack on you and your right to be protected from a criminal government.

And now he will he be jailed

In the last 20 years, Wikilieaks has done more worthwhile reporting than ALL over other news outlets COMBINED.

Lee Camp lays it all out. A huge percentage of what we know about official misconduct comes from Assange and Wikileaks.

The list is staggering.

And after seven years of house arrest, he has disappeared into the bowels of the federal prison system.

Reporting you won’t find anywhere else

Who identified and reported on the anti-Russian hysteria as it was being cooked up (pre-Trump) over FIVE years ago?

Who brought you rare and never-seen-before street-level reporting on the dire conditions in Gaza today?

Who went to Venezuela – two years ago – at no small risk, to document how right wing thugs were using street violence to destabilize the country?

Who kept calling “BS” on the Russia probe and focused attention on the rampant criminality of the Trump administration?

This great work – and much more – is all coming from one source: Abby Martin and Robbie Martin.

A great physicist once said: “Time is nature’s way of keeping everything from happening all at once.”

It took us a while to get to talk with these singular activist-reporters, but it was worth the wait.

I can’t possibly overstate my admiration for them and their work and I encourage you to follow and support it as we do.

How to follow them.

We don’t get the government, health care, education or environment we deserve, but we do get the news media we deserve.

If we don’t like being fed corporate news propaganda all day, there’s a simple solution: Support the news media that supports you.

No one gives you more bang for your buck than these two.

One of Abby Martin’s many greatest hits

Poisoned and then punished

In praise of Kevin Shipp, whistleblower.

Excerpt from the Jason Goodman YouTube channel.

Poisoned and then punished…

The CIA was found culpable in the poisoning of this former employee, a security officer, and his family.

Then when a judge ordered the Agency to compensate them financially, they backed out of a signed agreement and convinced the judge to dismiss the case of the grounds of “national security.”

Shipp was threatened with punishment if he ever talked about the case.

He talked about it anyway.
