The Relentless Focus on Gun Crime Feeds Surging Gun Sale

The Relentless Focus on Gun Crime Feeds Surging Gun Sale by AWR Hawkins In an August 10 column, which was equal portions cathartic and panic stricken, The Economist basically admitted that the media’s relentless focus on gun crime results in more gun sales in America.

The Routine Use of Fake Images and Video Footage by the Western Media By Prof Michel Chossudovsky Image. CNN Report: “Chinese Cops” in Tibet: Footage of a protest movement in India, 2008 It has become routine for the mainstream media including network TV to present fake images and footage of protest movements.

More Accusations of Nonexistent Russian Aggression in Ukraine

More Accusations of Nonexistent Russian Aggression in Ukraine Big Lies repeated ad nauseam get most people to believe them.

They lied claiming “(n)early six months after Russia agreed to an immediate cease-fire in eastern Ukraine, its forces continue to shell and rocket Ukrainian positions on a daily basis.” Far from pulling back heavy weapons or withdrawing its troops as required by the agreement, it has built military bases and deployed 9,000 troops inside Ukraine and stationed another 50,000 just… View Article

FBI Says Citizens Should Have No Secrets That The Government Can’t Access

However, like a frog sitting idly in a pan of steadily-warming water, too many Americans still seem unaware that the slow boil of big government is killing their constitutional liberties.

Don’t Be Fooled by the Political Game: The Illusion of Freedom in America

Don’t Be Fooled by the Political Game: The Illusion of Freedom in America By John W. Whitehead “The shaping of the will of Congress and the choosing of the American president has become a privilege reserved to the country’s equestrian classes, a.k.a. the 20% of the population that holds 93% of the wealth, the happy few who run the corporations and the banks, own and operate the news and entertainment media, compose the laws and govern the universities, control the philanthropic foundations, the policy institutes, the casinos, and the sports arenas.”—Journalist Lewis Lapham Being a citizen in the American corporate… View Article
