The vast majority of the mainstream media is owned and controlled by a small group of corporations (applies to NZ too) and as such, are not delivering truthful information - in fact, a lot of news these days pre-packaged by government and given to all mainstream channels to deliver to their viewers without question or moderation, and much of this content is outright fabrication.

Even the popular user-contributed information sources such as Wikipedia and other "web 2.0" sources can be severely biased due to mass ignorance and corporate vandalism, which is a new phenomenon whereby corporations that benefit from a particular point of view use their enormous financial wealth to fund masses of people to support it and to argue against anything else - essentially a Web 2.0 evolution of astroturfing. In addition to this sneaky underhanded way of manipulating the truth on the web, the powers that be are working on the ability to regulate content, especially political.

Conspiracy theorists

People who disagree with the mainstream view of events such as 9/11 are viewed as delusional conspiracy theorists. What many people don't know is that the term "conspiracy theorist" was invented and put into wide circulation by the CIA to smear and defame people questioning the JFK assassination! “The CIA’s campaign to popularize the term ‘conspiracy theory’ and make conspiracy belief a target of ridicule and hostility must be credited, unfortunately, with being one of the most successful propaganda initiatives of all time.” In other words, people who use the terms “conspiracy theory” and “conspiracy theorist” as an insult are doing so as the result of a well-documented, undisputed, historically-real conspiracy by the CIA to cover up the JFK assassination. That campaign, by the way, was completely illegal, and the CIA officers involved were criminals; the CIA is barred from all domestic activities, yet routinely breaks the law to conduct domestic operations ranging from propaganda to assassinations. Fortunately thanks to the internet, this is changing and it's now becoming those who support the mainstream who are being seen as the delusional ones.

Good information sources

There are still good objective information sources available though, for example:

These all have very accessible and well-researched knowledge that we can share amongst ourselves and the groups we're involved with.

Turning a blind eye

Human societies see what they want to see. They create national myths of identity out of a composite of historical events and fantasy. They ignore unpleasant facts that intrude on self-glorification. They trust naively in the notion of linear progress and in assured national dominance. This is what nationalism is about—lies. And if a culture loses its ability for thought and expression, if it effectively silences dissident voices, if it retreats into what Sigmund Freud called "screen memories," those reassuring mixtures of fact and fiction, it dies. It surrenders its internal mechanism for puncturing self-delusion. It makes war on beauty and truth. It abolishes the sacred. It turns education into vocational training. It leaves us blind. And this is what has occurred. We are lost at sea in a great tempest. We do not know where we are. We do not know where we are going. And we do not know what is about to happen to us. The psychoanalyst John Steiner calls this phenomenon "turning a blind eye." Read More...

Quote.pngThe conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country. …We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of. This is a logical result of the way in which our democratic society is organized. Vast numbers of human beings must cooperate in this manner if they are to live together as a smoothly functioning society. …In almost every act of our daily lives, whether in the sphere of politics or business, in our social conduct or our ethical thinking, we are dominated by the relatively small number of persons…who understand the mental processes and social patterns of the masses. It is they who pull the wires which control the public mind.
— Edward Bernays – Propaganda – 1928

Look to Brazil for safe, stable investments As the future of the American economy seems to get bleaker by the day, it is tempting to look abroad for business opportunities. Europe and Asia don't provide much hope, but what about somewhere that's both closer to home and sunny year-round? In Brazil is the New America: How Brazil Offers Upward Mobility in a Collapsing World, James D. Davidson shows that the current financial situation in Brazil is a haven for those looking to make money in a world in turmoil.With a population just 62 percent the size of that of the US, Brazil has added 15,023,633 jobs over the past eight years, while the US has lost millions. In a world burdened by bankrupt governments and aging populations, Brazil is solvent, with two people of working age for every dependent. In a world of "Peak Oil" Brazil is energy independent, with 70 billion barrels of oil, 60% of the world's unused arable land, and 15% of its fresh water. Comparatively non-leveraged--and with significant room for growth and expansion, as well as vast natural resources, Brazil is a haven of opportunity.Written by James D. Davidson, the editor/publisher of Strategic Investment and cofounder of Agora and the media outlet, Newsmax, Brazil is the New America details: How the original "America" now embodies the brightest hope for realizing the American Dream while the "Old America" is headed for a dramatic decline in the standard of living Investment opportunities not only for those willing to relocate, but anyone who can consider investing there The cost structure of employment in Brazil versus the United States Brazil has already learned its lesson about the dangers of inflation. Cash has taken the place of credit, and high interest rate returns are now the norm.

Quote.pngIn the name of Allah, the ...beneficent, the merciful... For 40 years, or was it longer, I can't remember, I did all I could to give people houses, hospitals, schools, and when they were hungry, I gave them food. I even made Benghazi into farmland from the desert, I stood up to attacks from that cowboy Ronald Reagan, when he killed my adopted orphaned daughter, he was trying to kill me, instead he killed that poor innocent child. Then I helped my brothers and sisters from Africa with money for the African Union.

I did all I could to help people Understand the concept of real democracy, where people's committees ran our country. But that was never enough, as some told me, even people who had 10 room homes, new suits and furniture, were never satisfied, as selfish as they were they wanted more. They told Americans and other visitors, that they needed "democracy" and "freedom" never realizing it was a cut throat system, where the biggest dog eats the rest, but they were enchanted with those words, never realizing that in America, there was no free medicine, no free hospitals, no free housing, no free education and no free food, except when people had to beg or go to long lines to get soup.

No, no matter what I did, it was never enough for some, but for others, they knew I was the son of Gamal Abdel Nasser, the only true Arab and Muslim leader we've had since Salah-al-Deen, when he claimed the Suez Canal for his people, as I claimed Libya, for my people, it was his footsteps I tried to follow, to keep my people free from colonial domination - from thieves who would steal from us.

Now, I am under attack by the biggest force in military history, my little African son, Obama wants to kill me, to take away the freedom of our country, to take away our free housing, our free medicine, our free education, our free food, and replace it with American style thievery, called "capitalism", but all of us in the Third World know what that means, it means corporations run the countries, run the world, and the people suffer.

So, there is no alternative for me, I must make my stand, and if Allah wishes, I shall die by following His path, the path that has made our country rich with farmland, with food and health, and even allowed us to help our African and Arab brothers and sisters.

I do not wish to die, but if it comes to that, to save this land, my people, all the thousands who are all my children, then so be it.

Let this testament be my voice to the world, that I stood up to crusader attacks of NATO, stood up to cruelty, stood up to betrayal, stood up to the West and its colonialist ambitions, and that I stood with my African brothers, my true Arab and Muslim brothers, as a beacon of light.

When others were building castles, I lived in a modest house, and in a tent. I never forgot my youth in Sirte, I did not spend our national treasury foolishly, and like Salah-al-Deen, our great Muslim leader, who rescued Jerusalem for Islam, I took little for myself...

In the West, some have called me "mad", "crazy", but they know the truth yet continue to lie, they know that our land is independent and free, not in the colonial grip, that my vision, my path, is, and has been clear and for my people and that I will fight to my last breath to keep us free, may Allah almighty help us to remain faithful and free.

Coup in Egypt.jpg

"Hey Everyone, If you have heard about the Egyptian second revolution, I need your help to spread our word to the whole world since CNN and BBC are biased and they don't say the truth and claim it is a military coup in order to interfere in Egypt such as what happened in Iraq and Syria and here is the truth...please, let the world know the truth, that's how u can help our revolution ( America's public opinion, we trust you) Military coup is the seizure of power by military force and unilateral governance. What happened in Egypt is the bias of the army to the legitimate democratic demands of the Egyptian people. and that was our letter to US government but unfortunately US is still supporting Muslim Brotherhood and claiming that our second revolution is a military coup . That's why , you're advised to know why we made this revolution..and also know that US is supporting terrorism in the Middle East...Therefore, we as Egyptians are sending this message to the public opinion of the United States and the whole world in order to find out the truth. On June 30th, millions of Egyptians marched against the current ruling dictatorship of Egypt, the Muslim Brotherhood. They planned to do so peacefully, and have used perfectly legitimate legal means to impeach the current Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi and call for early elections. Egyptians gave the Muslim Brotherhood their chance, and the Muslim Brotherhood has failed miserably. The Muslim Brotherhood was elected under special circumstances after the revolution, and they have failed both to keep any of their promises, and to uphold the spirit of the revolution. They have only proven themselves to be intolerant dictators at best, and violent terrorists at worst, as proven by their bloody history since 1928. As leaders of Egypt they have imprisoned journalists, further strangled civil society, tortured prisoners, arrested people for “blasphemy,” endorsed sectarian violence such as the fatal attacks on the Coptic Cathedral and on Shiite Muslims during worship. President Morsi even appointed as the governor of Luxor the man responsible for the bloody terrorist massacre against tourists in Luxor in 1997. The Muslim Brotherhood is the legitimate mother of every single radical Islamist terrorist group in the region, including Al-Qaeda. Underneath the Muslim Brotherhood’s external diplomacy is a platform of hatred towards the West and towards all democratic values. Any continued support from the current US administration of this terrorist group is shortsighted; with such support, history will repeat itself, as it has happened in Iran and Afghanistan, and we will be closer than we can imagine to witnessing another 9/11, if not worse. We have listened in alarm as Ambassador Patterson has defended Egyptian President Morsi and even went so far as to try to convince one segment of the Egyptian population not to join the protests. We have listened in disbelief as Secretary of State John Kerry talks about “reform” for a terrorist group on Egypt’s account. We ask one thing from the United States government on June 30th, 2013 and thereafter: please step aside and do not take the side of a terrorist group against the Egyptian people. Do not interfere with the democratic aspirations of the Egyptian people. Do not send arms or tear gas to the Egyptian government. Do not allow the Egyptian government to buy arms or tear gas from American companies. Do not interfere. A truly democratic Egypt is in the best interests of the United States, both short term and long term. The strongest and most historic allies and economic partners of the United States are all liberal democracies, not religious dictatorships. Stand on the right side of history by staying out of the way as Egyptians build their own democracy."

The Arab proverb says that a wise person does not get bitten twice from the same place. We must admit that we have been bitten more than once and from many places and God knows what’s ahead of us. The difficulty comes from the multiple roles the Intelligence Services of this world have been playing since they discovered that the most efficient weapon in their possession is their capacity to cater to our tastes and complacency.

We - as Arabs - are not close to forget the number that the world Intelligence and the world media played on us and the ride they took us for when they introduced Al Jazeera channel to our houses and homes making us believe that we finally got our professional objective media that can open new horizons and give us a larger scope and a deeper insight into what was happening in our world. For years we enjoyed this fallacy, we watched every program, followed each topic, delighted in every debate, we seldom shifted to another channel or listened to other sources. We followed minute by minute the assault on Gaza, we held our breath, we became fixed on the screen not able to move for one inch, we were so grateful that we had a channel like al Jazeera. We turned a deaf ear and a blind eye to the fact that it hosted Israelis or that it was funded by Qatar -the country that hosted one of the biggest US military bases in the Gulf -and, even when we noticed that it imposed a total black on what was happening in Qatar, we did not give this fact a great importance.

All these facts we overlooked and we raised the banner of the first evolved media channel the Arab world ever had, praising its high professionalism along with its skilful crew and - above all - its progressive stands. The channel had acquired thus an unquestionable credibility regarding matters of great concern to the Arabs and Muslims. What happened next does not need too much elaboration; what happened when the spring revolutions started was simply the other side of the coin, the hidden side that bore the whole truth. The first side of the coin was the bait offered by the channel in order to hook us, and the second side was the poison given to us. After that, especially after what happened in Libya, and the great direct involvement of Qatar in the Libyan bloody events, we realized that we had to disentangle ourselves from al Jazeera.

This is when we realized that the whole thing was a set up, and that the wolf had again dressed as grand ma. All what preceded was but a step and a preparation for the major event where we will be partaking and witnessing the toppling of Arab rulers - one after the other - in what was called the Arab spring, to reach finally the core of the matter that is: Syria. And as we remained hooked following step by step the bloody massacres in Gaza, we were supposed to remain hooked partaking in the so called democratization of Syria. The channel had turned into its opposite. It had become, biased, unprofessional, prejudiced and fake, disseminating misinformation and fabricating lies about what was happening on the ground

We will not go into the details of how al Jazeera became corrupt; how it distorted facts and falsified evidence and brought fake witnesses and altered videos and resorted to lies and made up events and staged demonstrations and bribed protesters, but we can say that there isn’t one infraction that the idol channel did not commit, to our great shock and surprise sharing directly in instigating various acts of killing and destabilizing.

So much for al Jazeera, and so long; but the tricks of the masters has not ended yet; because, as we are busy making a livelihood and carrying on our multiple duties and responsibilities in life, the rulers of this world were carrying on their multiple schemes and dubious endeavors to disrupt the life of people one way or another. The last born to the administration of this world was something called Wikileaks that kept the whole media busy and so many people mobilized. The Wikileaks acted like a dropped bomb, they were like a media explosion, catering to the great urge of people to know what really happened and how it happened and who was behind what has happened. Finally, truth was no more in a remote place but here at hand, directly on the screen to our great delight. Regarding this, Wikileaks held major answers and not any answers, they are official documents leaked - or released - from the Pentagon and other official departments by a supposed truth seeker whose aspirations were to make truth accessible to the American and other public.

This legendary truth seeker by the name of Bradley Manning did not act alone but leaked the information to another legendary figure with a legendary name this time Master Julian Assange whose legendary looks seem to come straight from a legendary tale. Master Assange is not a conformist Zionist like Mike Zuckerberg of the CIA, consecrated as the head of the largest internet utility in the world, friend of Israelis and Peres; Master Assange is something else, is a revolutionary, a person seeking truth, justice and real change. He is not the idol of the US administration but its enemy, because tracked and chased and sued and pursued seeking asylum from one place to another as a truth seeker threatened by the world order. And even if what Wikileaks reveals in this huge number of documents that touches on many subjects, is mostly insignificant or irrelevant or even flagrant, and even if it made more noise than it revealed truth, still it has acquired a reputation and a credibility that is beyond question.

Finally whether Assange, Manning or al Jazeera, the goal is to have the public hooked and have these people or channels of information acquire a level of credibility that will consecrate them as a trustworthy source of information, after which this channel or person will become qualified to handle and present any event on the world stage, and get the expected reaction from the public. This way we are being treated by the world order like Pavlov’s dog and being manipulated rather than informed; but we are supposed to have grown wise and aware, and we are supposed to get ourselves prepared as to avoid the next poisonous bite coming from the same place that any wise person should avoid as the Arab saying goes.
