Former CBS Sharyl Attkinsson news reporter talks about news media corruption.

“The problem isn’t fixable.”

The only thing they seem to be good at is smearing their ideological enemies.

One often used trick: “Repeat the narrative.”

One news media outlet prints a pack of lies and then the other outlets simple repeat it, thus repeating the narrative.

How they all work together against Palestine – and you

Excerpt from the new movie WitchHunt

What do Israel, right wing nuts, and racists have in common?

A film that shows how they all work together against Palestine – and you.

Behind it all: arm sales and a beachhead in the oil-rich Middle East.

“Centuries-old” – not

I love the way this guy cuts through the news media BS about the “centuries-old” Israeli-Palestinian “conflict.”

It’s most definitely not a century’s old religious war.

First, it’s has nothing to do with religion.

It’s about land.

Second, it’s not century’s old.

The overwhelmingly Muslim-Christian Palestine population was very friendly to the tiny Jewish minority until the British got involved in the region after World War I.

A historical appraisal

A sober, non-dramatic description of the Nazi program that started as political gamesmanship (targeting the weak and the “other”) and ended in the industrial strength slaughter of hundreds of thousands of unarmed civilians.

We haven’t run information on this subject before for a couple of reasons:

1. We object to calling anything THE Holocaust. There have been many holocausts in human history.

2. There are holocausts going on right now that merit at least as much attention.

3. A whole industry has grown up around “THE Holocaust” which serves the dual purpose of generating income to legions grifters (“There’s no business like Sho’ah business”) and provide political cover for the ongoing Israeli genocide of Palestinians

That said, the premeditated mass slaughter of Jewish civilians, primarily in eastern Europe, did take place at the hands of the German military and looking at how such an atrocity came to be deserves sober study and reflection.

It’s not just people with non-authoritarian opinions or health and medical experts who are outside of Big Pharma.

It’s everybody. YouTube is screwing everybody.

This is the classic Silicon Valley “bait and switch.”

AOL did it.

In the early days, they contracted with dozens of content producers and gave them share of the traffic they generated. Then when the company was profitable, they threw them off the service.

Google did it.

In the early years, they took hundreds of millions of dollars in advertising from small businesses, the only advertisers that would give their AdWords platform a chance. Then when corporate advertisers showed up, they put every imaginable barrier up to them, closing their accounts arbitrarily and undermining thousands of small businesses.

Facebook did it.

They encouraged everyone to sign their friends up to follow them and then restricted people from accessing the very list of people who signed up to follow their Facebook pages.

A year ago…this optimistic documentary heralded the coming of a New Age in which people with ideas could bypass the mass media and attain higher profiles than crap newscasters and network TV hosts.

When this documentary was released just one year ago, it was true, but in just a year’s time, it’s all been undone.

Experimental vaccines tested on US troops

A video we first posted 13 years ago and we’re still one of the only news outlets covering this subject.

Make no mistake. The fascistic pro-Big Pharma media blitz that is shouting down any question of vaccine safety has its roots in this:

Vaccines are Big Pharma’s biggest cash cow and within that market the military is the richest target.

No price sensitivity and 1.3 million who can be ordered at the drop of hat to roll up their sleeves and take any shot no matter how reckless, untested and dangerous.

Question: How do thousands of soldiers get “Gulf War Illness” if they’ve never deployed overseas?

Answer: Forced vaccinations.

Arrogance on parade

On this day in 1985, the Red, White and Blue administration of Ronald Reagan illegally arranged for 96 anti-tank missiles to be sent to Iran.

What was Iran Contra?

For starters, it was high treason.

What happened?

The US illegally sold arms to Iran and then used the profits to illegally fund terrorists in Nicaragua in an attempt to undermine the government of that country.

And they traded guns for drugs too (though that part was left out of mainstream news reporting.)

The Arkansas branch of this criminal enterprise (Mena) put Bill Clinton on the map.

Note what fantastic and arrogant liars Oliver North and company are.

The short version:

Truman said “no”, Eisenhower said “yes”

On this day in 1953, the CIA staged a coup in Iran overturning its democratically elected leader.

We have been paying the price for this illegal act ever since.

Why did they do it?

Iran nationalized its oil. What does that mean? They told British Petroleum “the oil in our country belongs to us.”

This caused British Petroleum (BP) and the UK government to flip out.

They went to the US and asked to different presidents to intervene. Truman, to his great credit, said “no.” Eisenhower said “yes.”

The country was given over to the corrupt Shah who in exchange for billions in bribes and arms gave turned the country’s oil over to BP. To keep control over people who never elected him the Shah employed CIA torture experts to help set up a secret police.

And we wonder why there is turmoil in the region.

Unfortunately this “success” led to other CIA supported coups – in Guatemala, in Indonesia, in Vietnam, in the Congo, in the Dominican Republic, in Brazil, and in Chile.

Between 1947 and 1989, the United States tried to change other nations’ governments 72 times. Most of the attempts failed.

How Lyndon Johnson lied us into a catastrophe

On this day in 1964, Congress passed the “Gulf of Tonkin Resolution” which began massive escalation of the US war and occupation of Viet Nam.

This is a bit slow moving video, but stick with it.

It’s full of gems:

1. The “incident” never happened and at least one of the radar man on duty knew and reported it (“Radar men” were later blamed for the false report.”
2. The Gulf of Tonkin resolution and all the immediate retaliatory actions after the “incident” had to have been planned weeks if not months in advance of August 4th.
3. We were lied into the Vietnam War with a faked incident attributed to North Vietnam – a classic false flag operation.

In 1964, Lyndon Johnson ran and won the presidency on a campaign of “No War in Vietnam.”

Then “something” happened on the night of August 4th in the Gulf of Tonkin (after a previous incident on August 7th) in international waters off of Vietnam.

Just six days later, the normally slow-moving Congress passed the infamous Gulf of Tonkin Resolution which formed the basis for military action in Vietnam.

It was all based on a deliberate fraud as this former active duty Navy lieutenant explains.

One two US Senators opposed the resolution: Senators Wayne Morse (D-OR) and Ernest Gruening (D-AK).

Senator Gruening objected to “sending our American boys into combat in a war in which we have no business, which is not our war, into which we have been misguidedly drawn, which is steadily being escalated”.
