Mark Karlin, Truthout: 'Watching 'Orwell Rolls in His Grave,' it becomes increasingly clear that we can t see the forest through the trees, because with the consolidation of for-profit corporate media, the forest of information is pretty much owned by just a few companies. And those companies not only frequently create 'facts' to enhance profits, but also create the frame through which public policy is debated to meet their business goals.'

The media is the enemy

Antiwar.com
by Justin Raimondo

08/17/11

The media is a reliable instrument of government just as surely as if it were an official agency, like the Voice of America: it is owned by corporate entities entirely dependent on the good graces of government officials, and whose natural inclinations are to cozy up to Power rather than challenge it. That s why the new internet-based media is so disturbing to these mandarins, whose opinions are no longer automatically elevated to holy writ...

Bank Of America s Backdoor Bailout - Dumping Mortgage Trash Onto Taxpayers Via Fannie Mae

The official bailout of the financial system may be over, but the government is apparently far from finished propping up big banks, as evidenced by the news that Bank of America has struck a deal to dump a bunch of near-worthless home loans on U.S. taxpayers.

The fallout from a frozen Fed

Euro Pacific Capital
by Michael Pento

Years more of free money will result in tremendous economic imbalances, a crumbling currency, rising commodity prices and a ridiculously out of control bond market bubble. And that cannot at all end well...

Former Counterterrorism Czar Accuses Tenet, Other CIA Officials of Cover-Up

Jason Leopold, Truthout: 'In a stunning new interview set to air on a local PBS affiliate in Colorado tonight, former counterterrorism czar Richard Clarke, for the first time, levels explosive allegations against three former top CIA officials - George Tenet, Cofer Black and Richard Blee - accusing them of knowingly withholding intelligence from the Bush and Clinton White House, the FBI, Immigration and the State and Defense Departments about two of the 9/11 hijackers who had entered the United States more than a year before the attacks.'

S&P Downgrade Brought on by Republican Obstructionism

Jeff Madrick, New Deal 2.0: 'Does anyone really think that Standard & Poor's downgrade of US debt would have occurred unless there had been the Congressional stand-off on raising the debt ceiling? For all of S&P's handwringing about the nation's debt problems, Congressional recalcitrance was the driving issue. So when the press says neither the Democrats nor the Republicans can escape blame, it is in truth nonsense.'

Living by the sword

Authority!
by Timothy J Taylor

'Those who live by the sword will likely die by the sword a wise old saying goes. It was proved once again in Afghanistan last week when a U.S. military Chinook helicopter went down killing 30 elite American special operations soldiers. The U.S. military, and most of the U.S. media are still dancing and dodging around the facts and real cause behind the disaster; even though the Taliban took credit immediately...
