OrwellOrwell wrote Animal Farm in the mid-1940's, a satire on the Soviet Union, on a totalitarian state. "Literary Censorship in England" was an introduction to that novel, but it was suppressed and wasn't discovered until some 30 years later. In it Orwell says that whilst England isn't a totalitarian state, and doesn't have the KBG breathing down peoples necks, the result is pretty much the same

What follows are detailed notes of a talk Chomsky gave at the Z Media Institute in June 1997. The talk was called what makes the mainstream media mainstream?The media readily lends itself to being studied. The evidence of what is and is not being reported, the focus of what is reported, what is ignored or suppressed, etc, can be analysed every day by looking at the press itself.Studying the media

Whilst the main focus of Lendman's article is the BBC's pro-Israeli bias, his overall analysis of the BBC at the begginning of the article seems accurate to me. Pro-government, pro-big business; "a propoganda system for elite interests". Whilst here and there it is possible to find honest investigative reporting on the BBC (for instance Panorama's recent Daylight Robbery by Jane Corbin), such

I've heard many times that the international bankers which owned the Bank of England are the same people that established the US Federal Reserve bank in 1913. I recently came across the following charts from the Congressional House Banking Committee Staff Report, published August 1976, which explain the somewhat complex links between the major London and US banking institutions. They also detail

Whilst I don't know the content of the paper this is nevertheless another major step forward for Jones and the 9/11 Truth movement.

The Gulf of Tonkin incident occurred on 4nd August 1964. On that day the US Maddox, a naval destroyer, was said to have been attacked by North Vietnamese patrol boats whilst carrying out missions in the Gulf of Tonkin. The media lept on the story that the communist Vietnamese had attacked a US vessel. And on the basis of the attack the US Congress passed the Gulf of Tonkin resolution. This

This video explains the prevailing scientific theory as to how life came into being on earth. It details how organic matter, over a period of around a billion years, emerged from inorganic sludge. Crucially, at no point in this process is a deity required. It's a fair question for the theists: what role does your God play in this process?

People are encouraged to take their anger and frustrations out on the government. But the real propogators of tyranny - who have 'demolished civil society', who have purposely marginalised people, creating the fabricated 'wants' that people spend most of their lives pursuing - are the powerful private coporations which back government.

The question Russo started out asking when he began his film was whether or not there was an actual law requiring US citizens to file a 1040 tax return. That is, to pay tax on their labour - an income tax. He'd heard stories that the income tax was unconstitutional and unlawful. Whilst making the film, he found out that - it was.

I recently saw a BBC documentary about the Snow Leopards of Chitral Gol National Park on the Pakistan-Afghanistan border. Quite what is so remarkable about these creatures I find hard to say. I'm going to bypass this problem by simply showing some photographs I found on the internet. [Information below from BBC.

Yesterday I stumbled upon this 10 minute 'What we know and how we know it' film about the Universe. It sheds light on things such as how we've come to measure the vast distances between earth and everything else in the cosmos and how stars originally came into being. And for the record, I think it's a dead fish. Though I wouldn't rule out nothing.

On 2nd November 2007 the late Benazir Bhutto gave an interview to David Frost on his show Frost all over the World in which she claims that Omar Sheikh murdered Osama Bin Laden. The show originally aired on Al Jazeera. However when the BBC got hold of it they sleekly edited out this claim.

I've just read an article by retired senior CIA analyst Ray McGovern in which he describes - as Naomi Wolf did in her essay Fascist America: In Ten Easy Steps - the parallels between the policies of the Bush/Cheney administration and those of Hitler's Nazi party in 1930's Germany. The article is based on a book called Defying Hitler by Sebastian Haffner, a young lawyer who lived in Berlin during

For most of my adult life I thought there probably existed around 2,000 years ago a man called Jesus Christ.

Where the Bible and subsequent manifestations of Christianity were concerned, I thought it probable that much mischief

Remember Move Over, God? No, didn't think so. Well, it was a link to a story about how the US has been experimenting with weather control techniques (also known as geoengineering) since the late 1940's: primarily, and unsurprisingly, for militaristic purposes.

It occurs to me that NIST's assertion that it found no evidence of explosives at the WTC, twinned with its admission that it didn't test for explosives, serves as a pretty good analogy for a particuar kind of response people have to 9/11 Truth. Why don't you believe that the 9/11 Commission lied and ommitted crucial facts in their investigation? Because I've seen no evidence that they did. But

At the end of World War II the US had 50% of the worlds wealth and only 6.3% of the worlds population.
