News & Comment
The news defines, by what it includes and excludes, the context in which we live our lives, and that context in turn determins how we behave. Control the news and you control the population. Therefore those who wish to control society make sure they control (own) the mainstream media; whereas those who refuse to be pawns in this control-trip avoid the mainstream media at all costs. Your choice!

Robert Foster brilliantly captures some of the issues that are now coming to a head as we approach 2012, the completion of another long cycle in the Mayan Calendar. He even manages to get an interview with Noam Chomsky! (Source The Juice Media)
Treason in the US Senate- Reality Report - 2 Dec 2011
The US Senate has committed treason by passing the Indefinite Detention Bill (S.1867) which violates constitutional rights in favour of the government being able to detain indefinitely anyone they label a potential terrorist, replacing liberty with fascism.
RT.com has one of the best news stream channels around, covering many issues that the conventional media ignores. The channel can be a bit Russia-centric at times, but its global news reports are second to none:
And below is a tiny selection of diverse news stories, commentary and documentaries that might challenge your world view:
Fascism Given the Green Light by the US Senate / RT News / Dec 2011
On 2 Dec, the Senate passed the National Defense Authorization Act (S.1867), which enables the US government to detain indefinitely anyone they merely suspect of being of being a terrorist, without trial or due process, blowing away constitutional rights.
Global Revolution TV - Live Streaming Since September 2011
This is the news channel for the demonstrations going on around the world to protest the effects of uncontrolled capitalism on society and the economy. These protests can only get worse as governments try to stamp on constitutional democratic freedoms.
The US is becoming increasingly intolerant of dissension and protest - Nov 2011
Although the student UC Davis protest was a peaceful one, University Chancellor Linda Katehi, pictured right, called in the police to break it up anyway. Here, Lt. John Pike calmly pepper-sprays students. Petition for Linda Katehi's resignation. (more info)
Wicked Witch Osama and Wizard Obama! (17 May 2011)
David Duke believes that 9-11, the Afghan/Iraq Wars could all have been avoided by not letting Israel control the US and British foreign policy. Duke should have made a clear distinction between the Jewish religion/race and the political Zionist movement (there are many Jews against Zionism), but he does make some cogent points.
War is Peace—Freedom is Slavery—Ignorance is Stength/FKNnews (13 May 2011)
Deek Jackson sums up the current state of world politics beautifully. Here he looks at the commercial benefits of war to the few, internet censorship and telephone tapping.
5/13/11 Fukushima Update by Fairewinds' Arnie Gundersen (13 May 2011)
The media now gives scant coverage of the ongoing Fukushima nuclear meltdown, but at least nuclear consultant Arnie Gundersen is giving informed and intelligent updates. Here he talks about how radiation must now be entering the ground water.
Fuel Rods Ejected over 2 miles (3.2 kilometres) (3 May 2011)
Nuclear Engineer, Arnie Gundersen, gives an update on the Fukushima crisis. The nuclear industry, the Japanese government and our own governments are playing down this crisis. In reality, a huge amount of radioactive material has been released.

Banksters & Government FINALLY exposed by Mainstream Media (Mar 2011)
MSNBC broadcast the above news piece to finally say what all those 'conspiracy theorists' have said for decades. But as MSNBC is ultimately owned by the bankers, what is actually going on? Why would the bankers want this exposed at this time?
Stansberry & Associates Predict US Disaster (22 Mar 2011)
This is a marketing video released by an investment research company but it gives an excellent overview of the financial crisis looming in the United States. The US is very close to bankruptcy, and the dollar will soon lose its reserve currency status at which point the s*** will really hit the fan. Watch it here. This will have huge global financial implications, and is likely to spell the end of the world fiat money era.
Radioactive Bullshit Fallout - FKN Newz (19 Mar 2011)
First part of this humorous video really puts the radiation leak in Japan into perspective. Before 1971, over 500 nuclear divices were detonated, releasing orders of magnitude more radioactive material than has been release in Japan. Even the depleted uranium used in Iraq is on a far larger and more damaging scale.
Bank of America Emails Released (14 Mar 2011)
The disclosure group Anonymous have released emails showing that Bank of America allegedly tried to modify loan documents before the sale of Balboa Insurance. This is likely to be the leak that Assange of WikiLeaks referred to back in November. Click here for more information. According to Wikileaks, Bank of America have subsequently been using private intel firms to attack them.
PayPal Morally Bankrupt (Feb 2011)
Towards the end of last year, they closed the donation account for Wikileaks. Now, just a few months on, they have stopped the account of Courage to Resist, which registered a PayPal account in 2006. As a private company, PayPal is under no obligation to deliver a service, and the cowards closed this account without any justification, behind closed doors. As Jeff Paterson wrote on Cryptome, "While there may be no legal obligation to provide services, there is an ethical obligation. By shutting out legitimate nonprofit activity, PayPal shows itself to be morally bankrupt." We urge all our readers to stop using their PayPal accounts wherever possible and use alternatives.
The Implosion of the US economy was a deliberate buy-out strategy (Dec 2010)
Catherine Austin Fitts, the former Assistant Secretary of Housing under George H. W. Bush, reveals how the US economy was deliberately imploded in a coup d'état to syphon off trillions of dollars in what amounts to a leverage buyout of a country.
Wikileaks and Free Speech Under Attack (December 2010)
Wikileaks founder Julian Assange has now been arrested after Sweden issued an international arrest warrent for what appear to be trumped up "sex chrimes" charges. Not only that but Wikileaks itself has had its domain hosting withdrawn. But don't worry, hundreds and soon thousands of mirrors sites have sprung up offering the world the right to know what their elected governments are saying and doing behind closed doors. You can find the mirror sites here. We will be updating this link as and when it changes. People are waking up to the fact that our "democratic" governments are actually the worst terrorists, and that the only way to defeat terrorism once and for all is to have the sort of transparency of information that Wikileaks offers. If you support free speech and democracy then you have a duty to support Wikileads and Assange.
Dylan Ratigan interviews Daniel Ellsberg on WikiLeaks (Sept 2010)
Ellsberg reminds viewers that soldiers in the US army swear to specifically defend the Constitution, not to uphold the orders of their government or leaders. From this perspective, Bradley Manning is a true patriot and should not be called a traitor.
WikiLeaks' Collateral Murder: U.S. Soldier Ethan McCord (10 Aug 2010)
Ethan McCord was on the ground during the 2007 Apache helicopter footage leaked to WikiLeaks. Here he gives an account of US war crimes from a soldier's perspective, joining Bradley Manning as the two bravest men in the US military. <support site>
The BP Oil Spill (June 2010)
BP is a multinational company (44% British-owned, 39% American-owned and 17% rest-of-the-world-owned) responsible for the catastrophic oil spill currently affecting the US Gulf. This is the oil company that has cynically run a PR campaign, in recent years, to make the oil business look positively green — reworking its logo to a green/yellow flower, symbolically investing in clean alternative energy, using the phrase "beyond petroleum" beside its logo, and decorating its petrol stations with eco-bling wind turbines. But the nature of this false PR-derived image has now well and truly been exposed by the recent blow-out in the Gulf, an careless accident responsible for one of the worst oil-spill environmental disasters. And this is on top of $373m fines BP paid in 2007 to the US Department of Justice for environmental crimes and for committing fraud. As the oil runs out, deep well drilling, with its increased risk of high-pressure blow-outs, is going to become the norm. Welcome to the future of oil exploration. (Check out the controversial Alex Jones video in the ecology section.)
US will start WW3 by attacking Iran - Michel Chossudovsky (Feb 2010)
Whereas the West and Israel believe Iran is developing a nuclear bomb, Tehran denies this insisting that its intentions are peaceful. Canadian researcher, Michel Chossudovsky, believes the US wants a war with Iran for its own political ends.
Israel is completely out of control (10 June 2010)
If any other country acted with the lawlessness, ruthlessness and barbarism that Israel routinely does today, it would, at the very least, suffer trade sanctions. But Israel can act with impunity because it has unconditional US backing. So we have a rogue nation, under the illusion of its divine right to flout international law and human morality, acting truly like an enfant terrible — thugs who can murder anyone they please and destroying anything that gets in the way of their Zionist objectives. It okay for Israel to have illegal nuclear weapons, but it's not okay for Iran to pursue legal nuclear power. It is okay for Israel to steal land from others, but it is not okay for those others to oppose the theft (and if they do they are branded terrorists). It is okay for Israel to perpetrate war crimes, but if you even suggest accountability you will be branded an anti-Semite. It is time for Jews around the world to condemn Israel/Zionism and stand up for humanity and international law, just as it is also time for Muslims everywhere to condemn Islamic fanaticism. At the root of the problem is religion: can you really worship a barbaric god without turning into a barbarian?
Ray McGovern Gives His Insight into the Coming Israel/Iran Conflict (May 2010)
Alex Jones talks with Ray McGovern, a retired CIA officer, about the current political situation in the Middle East and how much of it is to do with controlling natural resources and access to those resources. See Part 2, Part 3 & Part 4
Alex Jones Discusses Wikileaks Release of Pentagon Video (Apr 2010)
Jones discusses the Pentagon video leaked by Wikileaks showing US troops murdering innocent civilians, including children. Americans should stop allowing fear of being branded unpatriotic preventing them standing up to this evil.
Wikileaks co-founder speaks about US military video leak (5 Apr 2010)
Julian Assange, co-founder of WikiLeaks, discusses WikiLeaks' release of the military video (below) which shows the moral corruption of modern warfare and the US military's lies over its insistence that it only targets insurgents.
The leaked US military video that shows the US military lies (3 Apr 2010)
When an internal US army video was leaked to wikileaks.org, the US military was furious because it showed that what had been reported as an attack on insurgents was actually an attack on journalists and children. This is a common military lie.
9/11 truthers attend Treason in America (Mar 2010)
A growing number of Americans believe 9/11 was an inside job. 9/11 truthers attended a two day conference called Treason in America. There are now over 1000 architects and engineers that question the collapse of all three WTC buildings.
AE911Truth.org Video Showing Fire Did Not Destroy WTC (Mar 2010)
This one will not go away until those responsible are apprehended. 9-11 is the iconic false-flag operation of the 21st Century, the elephant in the room that no longer can be ignored by mainstream media. Visit ae911truth.org.
Iraq War Inquiry Farce (Jan 2010)
Despite being chaired by a government stooge, the Chilcot Enquiry is inadvertently (and embarrassingly for the government) digging up a lot more than it is comfortable dealing with. The bottom line is that the war was illegal, and so government ministers, including Blair, who ignored legal advice and invaded Iraq (killing hundreds of thousands of innocent people in the process) must be guilty of war crimes by definition (and such crimes of aggression cannot be mitigated by Blair harping on about how he believed he was doing the right thing at the time — I am sure the Hitler sincerely believed, with equal conviction, that he was doing the right thing. So when this new inquiry turned its attention to the strange death of Dr. David Kelly, a former UN weapons inspector who committed "suicide" before he could publish a 40,000 word book exposing government lies on non-existent WMDs and information on secret germ warfare experiments, it was reveiled that his medical records had been classified for 70 years. In reality, the circumstances around Kelly's "suicide" are highly suspicious, and it is most likely that he was murdered by MI5 agents who were seen at his house half an hour before his body was found, and who carted off the computer on which his book was written. Kelly, a micro-biologist, believed that the Israelis are working on viruses that target Arabs (12 other senior germ-warfare micro-biologists linked have "died" over the past decade).

Alternative Cancer Doctor is Kidnapped by the FDA (Dec 09)
Dr. Greg Caton has been researching and developing effective alternative cancer treatments for the last 20 plus years. However, the powers that be and the big pharmaceuticals needed Caton to be silenced regarding his cancer treatments, and so, on the 2 December 2009, Greg Caton was kidnapped by the FDA in Ecuador where he has been living and working perfectly legally, flown back to the US, and has not been seen or heard of since.

Alan Jones Talks to Lord Monckton about the Copenhagen Treaty (Dec 09)
Is the Copenhagen Treaty a means to the end of world dictatorship? Even if it CO2 reduction is vitally important for our future, few are aware that this issue is being underhandedly used by the UN to set up a one-world government.
The Arrest of Professor Joseph Moshe (13 Aug 09)
Joseph Moshe is a biological scientist who made the mistake of contacting a radio show in the US to warn listeners that pharmaceutical giant Baxter are deliberately trying to start a plague using vaccines as bio-weapons. The next day his car was surrounded by a SWAT team and he has since disappeared. We had a Youtube video link of it but that video has strangely disappeared.
Polish Politicians Care About Their People (5th Nov 09)
The Polish Health Minister gives a speech in Parliament on swine flu vaccine safety. This level of honesty and openness wouldn't happen in other countries because most politicians have strong interests in the pharmaceutical industry.
Noam Chomsky: Obama Recyles George W. Bush's Plans (May 2009)
President Obama is king of retoric and has done a wonderful PR job for the United States both to the world's populations and to Americans themselves. But dig below the surface and his actual policies are little different from Bush's.
Pepe Escobar argues the US is indeed in a privileged position: not only it unleashes a global financial crisis, it then sucks up money from all over the world, based on the fact that the US in fact remains the "manager" of choice of global capitalism. (Realnews video)
Tony Blair: Middle East "Peace Envoy" (Feb/Mar 2009)
The man who deliberately misled Britain into the illegal invasion of Iraq which killed hundreds of thousands of its citizens, and then who turned a blind-eye to the US torture program, is now being paid large amounts of money as an international "peace envoy" for the Middle East, helping to broker peace between Israel and the Palestinians. If this wasn't ridiculous enough, he has also recently accepted a bribe — the 2009 Dan David Prize of $1m from Tel Aviv University for his "exceptional leadership and steadfast determination in helping to engineer agreements and forge lasting solutions to areas in conflict." Considering the facts, including the recent revelation that Blair even refused to debate the Iraq invasion with his own cabinet, this is clearly a cynical attempt by an "academic" institution to buy political favor, and presents a huge conflict of interest for Blair in his new "peace envoy" role. But as nobody really takes his new role seriously, he will no doubt be able to continue this farcical charade.
Gaza Villages Wiped Off the Map: Reporter Jonathan Miller shows the on the result of the recent Israeli invasion of Gaza. Israel may well be guilty of war crimes, but will be immune to prosecution due to US veto support.
Pat Condell's Youtube response to the internet censorship of Fitna, Geert Wilders film on the horrors of Islamic Fundamentalism.
FITNA - Geert Wilders' documentary that has caused so much controversey. We have it here so you can judge for yourself rather than have it censored from you. (But hurry, this video won't last long before it is censored off!)
Democracy Now! interview with James Bamford, author of "The Shadow Factory" in which he exposes the NSA's program to automatically tap, record and transcribe domestic and international phone conversations.
The Loose Change documentary on 9-11 remains one of the very best showing the holes (chasms) in the official story of terrorist attack. Nobody can watch this video and not have at least some suspicions raised.
US Martial Law is a reality that is just around the corner. If you are an American citizen, you need to watch this video.
Islam will soon be the dominant religion in the world. Whether you like Islam or nor, due to the vastly higher fertility rates of Moslems worldwide and the very low fertility rate of Westerners, Islam will very soon dominate the world.
The Rise of the Forth Reich (The European Union)
The Red House Report was the Nazi's "Plan B" written in November 1944 when they realized that the war was lost. It described a secret meeting that took place at the Maison Rouge Hotel in Strasbourg on August 10th in which it was decided that, although the military-driven Third Reich had failed, a commercially-driven Forth Reich could rise from its ashes. This would be achieved by having the German industrial network (much of it secret) rebuild Germany as quickly as possible, a plan economically helped by the Allied Forces who wanted stability in the region. Then, when the time was right, German industry would take over the whole of Europe through supranational organisations, giving the control necessary for a successful resurrection of the Nazi party – the Forth Reich.
Today, we can see that this plan has been followed to the letter, and what started as the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC) developed into the European Economic Community (EEC) and finally into the political-economic superstate known today as the European Union (EU). And the dictatorial control that the EU imposes on its member countries and their respective citizens is reflective of its Nazi roots and ultimate Nazi/Fascist agenda of centralized political and corporate control.
