London editor of Vanity Fair, Henry Porter has written an insightful piece on the sorry state of the media and their corporate and government overlords. "I visit the States three or four times a year, and watching the television news in hotel rooms in the last three years has been like witnessing a time-lapse study of emasculation," explains Porter as he ruminates over the unmasking of the infamous government insider who exposed the Nixon administration's illegal activities.

US Takes 7 Months Before It Buries Mad Cow Story On A Friday

Posted by Pile (7650 views) Add this story to MyYahoo Add this article to del.icio.us Submit article to Reddit Add story to Furl Add story to StumbleUpon [E-Mail link]


Late Friday, June 24, is a perfect time to bury bad news in Washington, DC. That's when Mike Johanns, the United States Secretary of Agriculture held a news conference. He announced that a beef cow suspected last November to be positive with mad cow disease, and finally properly tested, was indeed positive. Even now the USDA is keeping secret which state the cow was from, but Texas has long been mentioned in media articles. The initially-botched finding of a second mad cow in the United States emphasizes the failure of the United States Department of Agriculture and the Food and Drug Administration to protect Americans from the deadly dementia called mad cow disease.

British: Let's Get This Straight On Terrorism and Lies

[Terroir-ism]
George Galloway is a member of Parliament for Bethnal Green and Bow and stands (falsely) accused by conservative US senators of taking bribes from Iraq in an oil-for-food scandal. His statement before the US Senate is a truly righteous, withering, and devastating critique of the US position in Iraq:

I told the world that Iraq, contrary to your claims did not have weapons of mass destruction.

I told the world, contrary to your claims, that Iraq had no connection to al-Qaeda.

I told the world, contrary to your claims, that Iraq had no connection to the atrocity on 9/11 2001.

I told the world, contrary to your claims, that the Iraqi people would resist a British and American invasion of their country and that the fall of Baghdad would not be the beginning of the end, but merely the end of the beginning.

Senator, in everything I said about Iraq, I turned out to be right and you turned out to be wrong and 100,000 people paid with their lives; 1600 of them American soldiers sent to their deaths on a pack of lies; 15,000 of them wounded, many of them disabled forever on a pack of lies.

The Downing Street Memo, recently leaked, reveals that President George W. Bush decided to overthrow Iraqi President Saddam Hussein in the summer 2002 and—determined to ensure that U.S. intelligence data supported his policies—"fixed" the intelligence and facts. Meanwhile the American press keeps this story low profile.

Just in case there was any doubt among the integrity or intent of the "save Terri" movement, the parents of Terri Schiavo have authorized a conservative direct-mailing firm to sell a list of their financial supporters, making it likely that thousands of strangers moved by her plight will receive a steady stream of solicitations from anti-abortion and conservative groups.

In a story coincedentally related to the fact that Louisiana ranks near the top in toxic pollution,
KFC outlets in China have apologized to customers and stopped selling "New Orleans" flavor roast chicken wings and chicken burgers after finding a seasoning used in the products contains an industrial dye linked to cancer. Of course, is the American media covering this? Nope but Canada is.

The World Health Organization said Friday that people should eat less food containing acrylamide, a chemical associated with fried foods that has caused cancer in laboratory rats.

WHO called on governments to urge the food industry to "lower significantly" the acrylamide content in foods such as french fries, potato chips, coffee and grain-based products including bread.

Bush Plants Gay Christian Prostitute In White House Press Corps

Posted by Pile (19289 views) Add this story to MyYahoo Add this article to del.icio.us Submit article to Reddit Add story to Furl Add story to StumbleUpon [E-Mail link]


Another big scandal that mainstream media will gloss over? How about the planting of a fake news reporter, from a fake news agency, in the White House Press Corps by the Bush administration? A paid operative, Bible-preaching Christian that's apparently into gay porn, that didn't even use his real name, but is associated with a number of right-wing propaganda operations!

As the plot thickens and internet cyber sleuths try to track down the "rats nest" of conservative schemers, hiding behind pseudonyms and dummy corporations, Some in Congress are requesting an immediate formal investigation.

UPDATE: Washington Post picks the story up from Bloggers. Score another for alterna-media doing the work of emaciated journalists. Another good expose can be found here.

I especially like the guy's interesting collection of domain names:
Thepeopleschurchdc.org
Dcbiblemarathon.org
Faithfullyspeaking.org
Theconservativeguy.com
Theconservativelegal.com
The-conservative-guy.com
conservative-guy.com
Hotmilitarystud.com
Militaryescorts.com
Militaryescortsm4m.com

Nothing like a Bible-preaching, conservative white house "journalist" who doubles as a pimp for gay military prostitutes.

UPDATE: Editor and Publisher has exposed the guy's real name as James Guckert and that WH Press Secretary knew about his deception.

UPDATE: More evidence of Guckert's lies to CNN and his gay prostitution site. He can't hide the fact that the site was archived and still viewable even though he took it down BUSTED!

UPDATE: Joe Conason asks Where is the 'Liberal Media' that should be covering this story?

UPDATE: Washington Post Continues the saga now that nude pictures are floating around.

UPDATE: Gannon may be the thread that unravels the CBS "memo-gate" scandal, and more Sex, Lies & Jeff Gannon.

U.S. Was "One Word Away" From Nuclear War

Posted by Pile (10524 views) Add this story to MyYahoo Add this article to del.icio.us Submit article to Reddit Add story to Furl Add story to StumbleUpon [E-Mail link]


Historians have long noted that the United States and the Soviet Union came within a whisper of nuclear war during the 13-day standoff after the United States discovered that Moscow had secretly installed nuclear missiles in Cuba. However, what was discovered last year (and apparently not widely covered in the media) was that Russia was in the process of approving a nuclear strike, but one of the three submarine commanders involved decided to not go along with the order.

The information came to light during an assembly of U.S. and Russian authorities for an event commemorating the 40th anniversary. Interesting that the mainstream media last year didn't think that coming so close to world destruction was newsworthy?
