- BBC ShameOctober 31, 2011Source: Craig MurrayBBC journalism hit a new low today. The BBC News channel devoted only a single sentence to Palestine’s diplomatic coup in gaining full membership of Unesco. It used that single sentence once at 18.23 and once during the following hour. And this is that single sentence: “Israel says that Unesco’s decision to admit Palestine to full membership will damage the prospects for peace in the Middle East.” No other view was given, We did not hear what Palestine says, or what Unesco says, or what any of the huge majority of 107 countries which voted for Palestine say. The only view we were given was the Israeli view, and there was no ques...

- OBL’s Death: The Mystery Of Helicopter CrashOctober 30, 2011Source: Opinion MakerThe helicopter crash at Abbottabad is akin to the fall of building 7 at New York. By Dr Ghayur Ayub The tail of US helicopter at Osama compound The death of OBL added another scepticism about the man whose whole life spiraled around skeptic stories. Someone rightly said all information about bin Laden should be treated with a healthy dose of scepticism. Even President Obama gave it a sceptic touch when he used the term remains instead of body in his news breaking announcement when he said the military took custody of his remains. Scepticism reached its peak on the night he was supposedly killed in a compound in Abbottabad. Enough is written...
- November 9th Communications Shutdown: A System Reboot Needed to Activate New Code?October 30, 2011Source: (title unknown)The PPJ Gazette John Boering October 30, 2011 My take on the communications shutdown: In what is obviously a muscle flexing exercise meant to show the public just how much power and control the federal government really has, all communications will be cut off for an estimated three minutes on November 9th, 2011. Claiming this is a test of the emergency response system, the terror alert system, and any other excuse they can come up with, Fema (that would be the same FEMA in charge of those camps they deny exist) will conduct a complete communications shutdown: all TV, radio, internet, and phone systems will be disabled simultaneously. This wi...

I am not fan of Monbiot but he is right. It is strange synergy between so-called left and right in the West. They are one of the same, they belong to neoliberal, imperialist, neonazi coin. When I read article like this I go back in history and remind myself that Rosa Luxembourg is murdered by social-democrat government. Or, in one book I read that Goring belonged to left fraction of Nazi regime.
It is no different today. People like Herman, Chomsky, Cockburn, Pilger, Johnson, Petras. guy from Globalresearch.ca are corporatist pawns who imitate “free speech” and “investigative journalism”. And it appears that include the creator of this site.
In other words there are no better, there are worst: because they entering confusion in honest and well interned people,
They are in like of thinking like this guy:
http://www.jihadwatch.org/2006/10/who-are-we-who-are-our-enemies—the-cost-of-historical-amnesia.html

I doubt any of those you quote thinks like the author of the Jihad-watch piece; I certainly don’t. The difference is that I (we) prefer to focus on the crimes of today ILLUMINATED by history, rather than seeking to justify our own barbarity on the 300 years old alleged babarities of our alleged enemies
How about a suggestion as to just who we should be listening too?
What Chomsky and Herman and the rest of the camp are writing is not journalism nor history. It is garbage and sensationalism, they simply mudding the water and trying to grab an attention of media and population.
The fresh example are Chris Hedges and Huan Cole, both, alleged antiglobalists and antiimperialists, and yet they are supporting aggression and cannibalization of Libya under excuse that Qaddafi is tyrant!
These people do not have decency, integrity and intellectual capacity toward the truth. They grew up and raised in totalitarian regime and atmosphere of fear, and they will write whatever they been ordered. Vast majority of journalists and academia is product of liberal totalitarianism, or, nation (racist) state. H.G. Wells called it: Liberal Fascism. Divide on “left” and “right” is superficial, progressive as well.
“How about a suggestion as to just who we should be listening too?”
Nobody, read this: “Who Funds the Progressive Media?”

Certainly not Cockburn, Hedges, Huan Cole, crypto-left Chomsky, Herman etc.
“What Chomsky and Herman and the rest of the camp are writing is not journalism nor history…. The fresh example are Chris Hedges and Huan Cole….”
Who exactly is “the rest of the camp” you’re referring to, and who is outside of it?
E.g., Pilger and Cole stand on the opposite sides in relation to the Libyan conflict. You really claim they are in the same camp, or they are both sell-outs? How exactly?
More basically: unlike Hedges and Cole, Chomsky, Pilger and Herman are in the eighth / ninth decade of their lives. The later three cannot be intellectually as quick and supple-minded as in their younger days, though they still rely on the available evidence.
You condemn them after their lifetimes of work that is outstanding both intellectually and morally. Isn’t that graceless, nay, INDECENT?
P.S. I forgot to mention Cockburn; everything I said of Pilger applies to Cockburn as well.
