Occupy Wall Street Update

Well, at least the mainstream media - affectionately referred to as the MSM - is finally mentioning the Occupy Wall Street protests but as far as stating the real purpose of them and how the number of protestors has reached the thousands, they have continued to understate and play it down. As usual, RT News pulls no punches.

Castro Calls Out Obama for Genocide in Libya

From: RT.com 

Fidel Castro is calling out US President Barack Obama for his words before world leaders last week at the United Nations in New York City. According to Castro, Obama misrepresented the wars America has involved itself in, calling his speech before the United Nations last week gibberish and blaming the US and NATO for the mass murders of the Libyan people.

“In spite of the shameful monopoly of the mass information media and the fascist methods of the United States and its allies to confuse and deceive world opinion, the resistance of the people grows, and that can be appreciated in the debates being produced in the United Nations,” Castro wrote over the weekend on the cubadebate.cu website.

Whistleblowers Reveal Tight-Knit Relationship Between U.S. Officials And Drug Cartels

The relationship between the global drug trade and the government of the United States of America is a long, complicated and irrefutable one. Some of the most infamous dealings that have come to light have involved the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and various drug trafficking rings throughout the world. However, it now appears that the  CIA involvement in drug trafficking is just one aspect of an incredibly close relationship between so-called authorities in America and the drug cartels they pretend to fight. Two former law enforcement officials and confidential informants for the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) have now revealed that drug cartels have ties to elected officials, high-level police and even judges. Even more disturbing, these men said that drugs are dropped by small planes on properties along the border between the United States and Mexico which are then escorted to their next stop by U.S law enforcement. One of the whistleblowers has said that he was asked by the FBI to accept drug shipments coming from Mexico through his ranching company.

What do these two brave whistleblowers get in return? Termination of their position as informants, death threats and FBI-issued memos designed to keep other agencies from investigating their allegations.One of these men is a retired sheriff’s deputy, Greg Gonzales and the other is a former livestock investigator for New Mexico, Wesley Dutton. During their 18-months as confidential informants for the FBI, they assisted in several investigations which included an inquiry that led to the arrest of FBI Special Agent John Shipley for selling guns to drug cartels.

Remember when Mark Zuckerberg said you need to get over the fact that there is no privacy on the internet? He meant it. Many of you have likely viewed the video below. It documents Facebook’s connection to the CIA. Many people, however, think the fun of posting on and the interaction of Facebook overshadows the downside, or they merely ignore the negative aspects. Well, it turns out it is worse than we previously thought.

Activist Post Deleted! Google Erases Popular Alternative News Source

From: Before It's News

Zen Gardner

At mid-day on Friday, September 23, 2011, the popular alternative news blog, ActivistPost.com, was taken offline. Activist Post receives over one million views per month and has been hosted by Google’s Blogger since its founding in June 2010. “We remain puzzled as to why Activist Post was erased completely by Google,” said chief editor and co-founder Michael Edwards. “When we tried to load our back-up file into our secondary Blogger account, that was blocked as well,” he added. It remains unclear whether Google has acted to censor ActivistPost.com for their controversial reporting.  Google is becoming somewhat notorious for clamping down on truth and liberty activists, of which Activist Post is known for. “Clearly, this is a huge set back for us and the work we do,” said co-founder Eric Blair.  “Our entire crew is working on resolving the issue and restoring the website.  We certainly look forward to an explanation from Google.” Activist Post will file an appeal with Google to restore the site in full, and asks their loyal supporters to make their voices heard as well.  However, they also are seeking other hosting services to avoid these types of censorship issues in the future. “We want to thank our loyal readers, contributors, and advertisers for being patient while we work this out.  We plan to come on even stronger in face of this adversity,” Edwards said.

Occupy Wall Street Protest Ignored by Mainstream Media

From: The Promethean Post

Michael Anthony

Keith Olbermann asks why the  American mainstream media is not covering the Occupy Wall Street protest? Well, if there's a protest about the corruption of those who own and control the corporate American media, you obviously won't hear about it from the corporate American media:) Good thing we have alternatives right? Except for the majority of Americans who get their news solely from television. I also find it a little hard to believe that Yahoo unintentionally blocked OccupyWallSt.org emails as well. Yahoo getting caught for this and having to publicly apologize is a very big deal that should get more attention.

No-Fly Zones on the Moon?!

The Promethean Post

Michael Anthony

From a recent article in The Hindu Moon to have no-fly zones by month end, NASA announces no-fly zones on the Moon! By the end of the month NASA will be declaring a long list of landing sites and artifacts from the Apollo missions as “historical sites” and “property of the US government”. These locations will be considered off limits. “Apollo 11 and 17 sites [will] remain off-limits, with ground-travel buffers of 75 meters and 225 meters from each respective lunar lander,” states the July 20 guidelines of NASA, obtained by the Science journal.

According to Science, by the end of the month NASA is expected to provide a set of “recommendations” for spacecraft and astronauts visiting the “U.S. government property on the moon.” However, these recommendations will not be legally binding due to the 1967 Outer Space Treaty, which clearly states that the lunar surface has no owner.

The Iraq War and the Power of Propaganda

From: The National Interest 

Paul Pillar

It is extraordinary that the makers of the Iraq War in the George W. Bush administration got so many people to go along with such an ill-conceived project of such a small number of zealous proponents (a “cabal,” in Lawrence Wilkerson's phrase). Being able to exploit the national anguish and anger over 9/11 was a critical ingredient, of course. But the success of the war-selling campaign was testimony to what a determined use of the opinion-molding capabilities of the government of the day, including the bully pulpit of the presidency, can accomplish. The dragging of even many Democrats and liberals into going along with the project was less a matter of instilling any specific mistaken belief than of instilling a mood and momentum. It was a matter of sending a war train hurtling down the track and daring anyone to get in the way.

Those "Crazy 9/11 Conspiracies" again

From: The Promethean Post

Michael Anthony - Editor of Promethean Post

This piece is no way an attempt to report any of the millions of facts, cases and details regarding the countless problems with the "official" story of the events of 9/11. There are enough thoroughly researched and well documented books, studies, and documentary films that have already done so with great success. It is rather a wake up call for those who simply refuse or have trouble believing that there is more to the story. The following article, 9/11 and the Orwellian Redefinition of "Conspiracy Theory" by Paul Craig Roberts eloquently addresses how the corporate media’s response to facts about 9/11 that don’t support the accepted “official” story of the government are continuously disregarded as “wild conspiracy theories”. Instead of addressing the considerable amount of facts and evidence amassed by credible experts, the corporate establishment media continuously attempts to ridicule and discredit those who speak out about them in an effort to dogmatically reinforce the government's story. Please note that Paul Craig Roberts is not a "conspiracy theorist", he actually served as an Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for the Reagan administration and has been an editor and columnist for The Wall Street Journal, Business Week, and Scripps Howard News Service. He has written and co-written eight books, contributed numerous chapters and articles to other books and has been published by many journals of scholarship. To quote Roberts directly,

“A ‘conspiracy theory’ no longer means an event explained by a conspiracy.  Instead, it now means any explanation, or even a fact, that is out of step with the government’s explanation and that of its media pimps.”

The Rise of Alternative News Media

From: The Promethean Post

Michael Anthony - Editor of Promethean Post

In case you haven't noticed, the mainstream American "media" is quickly becoming a joke on the world scene. The corporatized, politically compliant American news media, as an independent investigative arm, has all but collapsed. The American people need to start questioning (if they haven't already) why we consistently hear different, even contradictory stories from alternative, independent and foreign media coverage of the same events.

For example, the celebrated "assassination" of Osama Bin Laden was blasted all over American mainstream media for days on end. A ridiculous story was fed to the people, contradicted and amended multiple times, and finally we got to hear what every political talking head had to say about. The majority of them saying how great a "victory" this was for America and continual patting ourselves on the back, followed by video footage of ignorant masses of people celebrating in the streets, eerily similar to the celebrations conveniently filmed in Afghanistan after 9-11. This sounds like another great way to make some new enemies and fuel more hatred in order to prolong the instigated "War on Terror". Watch the following video by James Corbett of The Corbett Report for a better understanding of the mainstream media's feeble attempt to deceive. It's almost comical..

War for peace?

From: The Promethean Post

Michael Anthony

Does anybody else out there find it strange that the US is currently engaged in multiple wars while the economy is on the verge of collapse and the debt that our country has incurred could never be paid off. I came across a stunning fact the other day which pointed out that, even if every American was taxed 100% of their earnings for the rest of their lives, we would still be unable to pay off a fraction of our country's debt! According to my research into the orchestrated collapse of our financial system, this is all part of a larger plan to bring about the end of our current financial system, with the forced solution of a global financial system, currency and government. If anyone is interested in this subject, I would highly recommend Crisis By Design -The Global Financial Coup by John Truman Wolf. 

This leads me back to my question about the strangeness of our government and its allies' choice to continue these expensive wars for such a long period of time. Does anyone remember the basis of Obama's campaign? Change we can believe in? Have we forgotten his promises to close our base in Guantanamo and bring our troops back home from Iraq and Afghanistan? Does it not seem odd that we have done none of these things and we've actually just entered into another armed conflict, this time in Libya? Another "humanitarian" war for peace? There is clearly much more to the story here.
