Back in July of 2016, I did a two-part article, “American Samizdat — Publication Forbidden in U.S.”, which went down the rabbit-hole of news-suppression (censorship) in the United States but left, for the future, a more detailed description of the money-track back to the individuals who control that censorship in […]

How Should We Deal With Russia?
Is it possible to have a dialogue with Russia from a position of strength, false accusations, infringing upon its interests, and openly interfering in its internal affairs? Lately, the topic of Russia seems to be a constant on high-level political platforms and the news feeds of leading media outlets in […]
US Mass Media-Government Ties Remain Strong On Russia-Bashing
Conducted by Leslie Stahl, the lead November 3 CBS 60 Minutes segment on Maria Butina, is on par with Stahl’s January 7, 2018 hit job on RT. At play, is a concerted effort to misrepresent mainstream Russian perspectives. This establishment bias against Russia/Russians typically doesn’t acknowledge certain aspects like the […]
Tragedy of Nemtsov’s death hijacked by denigrators of Putin
The day following Boris Nemtsov’s murder on Friday, February 27, Western media were in a gluttonous frenzy over the tragedy. The death is being offered as affirmation of the nearly-unanimous villainous image that Putin has in the West. He is believed to be a “ruthless dictator who will stop at […]
Is tolerance of dishonesty the fundamental problem in our culture?
NBC-TV’s star news-anchor (America’s most popular) Brian Williams got caught repeatedly lying and fabricating his fake-‘courageous’ personal involvement in news stories that he had ‘reported.’ At LinkedIn, Rob Wyse headlined recently, “Brian Williams Essentially Lied on His Resume, Or Exaggerated The Truth,” and he noted there: “Whether you call it a lie, or an exaggeration — […]
Lies, Damned Lies, and Killing Fields in Syria
The world has an America problem. Washington’s paranoiac claims of armed altruism in Syria are a humbug. They regularly lie to use force and shamelessly sell wars to the American people. They bully nations to accept their version of the half truths. The US officials gave false evidence to annihilate […]
US Media Rigged Ahead of Russian Elections
In the spirit of recognizing mobs of terrorists as legitimate national governments before a sovereign nation’s true leadership is murdered by US-led NATO operations, as was the case in Libya, the Western media is already decrying Russia’s upcoming elections as “rigged” before they’ve even taken place. Leading the preemptive media […]
Campaign Finance Revolution
Several Occupy Wall Street splinter groups are now coalescing around a set of political demands. One that is long overdue and enjoys unanimous support is campaign finance reform. All the formulas that I have seen center on publicly funded elections. While this would be a huge step in the right […]
Free Speech, Its Loss and the Consequences
We in the “West” have long thought that we have free speech, that’s only true in a limited way. For freedom of speech is much more than being able to go down to the bar and bad-mouth the government, however important that is. It also means a press free to […]
Falsified Major Media Reports on Libya
Major media specialize in what they do best: truth inversion (aka bad fiction), not doing what journalists are supposed to do – their job, especially covering imperial wars for dominance and rich spoils. With Libya’s National Transitional Council (NTC) falling apart and rebel forces in disarray, today’s headlines belie the […]
Battle For Minds: Is Russia Destroying American Monopoly?
What kind of danger does the Russia Today TV-channel threaten the USA with? The answer is plain — with an ability to quickly win over the sympathies of the viewers. Currently its auditory makes up 380 million people from around the world. RT is not trying to hide the fact, […]
Demonizing Iran
Dave LINDORFF (USA) On April 21, the Wall Street Journal had a lead story about Israeli planning to possibly “go it alone” in an attack on Iran if the US were not to “succeed” in its diplomatic efforts to get Iran to “stop” it’s alleged attempts to develop a nuclear […]
