Members of the Octopus profit from global war. They finance both sides and make a killing. The soliders and civilians lose. There's only one group of winners, and they're all playing for the same team.   more... Bush and the Neocons haven't even bothered to change the names to confuse people. It's the New World Order and the Project for a New American Century now. They know that most people are too young to remember and too stupid to study history. They engineered the 9/11 attacks so that they could profit from the war on terror. They're not trying to win the war in Iraq, they're trying to prolong it. They're awarding no-bid contract to their friends and jacking up the price of oil. It's a naked power grab, and it's all about money. They've been lying to you. They showed you cartoons and called it news. You lose, and they win.  less

Edward Herman and Noam Chomsky demolish one of the central tenets
of our political culture, the idea of the "liberal media." Instead, utilizing a
systematic model based on massive empirical research,   more...they reveal the
manner in which the news media are so subordinated to corporate and
conservative interests that their function can only be described as that

If a key Indicator of the Health of a Democracy is the State of its
Journalism, the United States is in Deep Trouble. In Rich Media, Poor
Democracy, Robert McChesney lays the Blame for this State of Affairs
  more...Squarely at the Doors of the Corporate Boardrooms of Big Media, which
far from Delivering on Their Promises of More Choice and More Diversity,
have Organized a System Characterized by a LACK of COMPETITION,
Homogenization of Opinion and Formulaic PROGRAMMING.

Through numerous examples, McChesney, and media scholar,
Mark Crispin Miller, demonstrate how journalism has been compromised
by the corporate bosses of conglomerates such as Disney, Sony,
Viacom, News Corp, and AOL Time Warner to produce a system of
news that is high on sensationalism and low on information. They
suggest that unless citizen activism can reclaim the commons, this
New Corporate System will be characterized by a rich media and an
ever impoverished, Poor Democracy.

A lot (most all) people do not realize that most of the "News" you see

Sex Industry Act
» Sign this petition at www.bigapplenews.net (left column)
THE PETITION
The Sex Industry is defined as an
industry where Sex workers may be
employed as prostitutes, strippers,
go-go   more...dancers, burlesque
performers, escorts, dominatrices,
peepshow workers, phone sex
operators, hustlers, foot fetish
models, brothel workers, or porn
stars among other things. Some sex
workers are paid to engage in sex
acts which involve varying degrees
of physical contact with clients.
Other sex workers are paid to
engage in live sexual performance,
such as web cam sex and phone
sex. Others are paid merely to be
companions. The petition to create
a bill does not in any way oppose
the Sex Industry. Its entire purpose
is to increase the minimum legal age
for sex workers from 18 to 21.
DESIRED OUTCOME
The petition is to garner support to
pass a bill in NYS to raise the
minimum age of sex industry
workers from 18 to 21 to prevent the
commercial exploitation of young
people.
WHO WE NEED TO INFLUENCE
The petition needs to influence the
legislators of NY, NJ, & CT in phase
one, and the Congress of the United
States in phase two.

Few of us realize how many products we use today are by-products of oil. Our current civilization could not exist without oil. But the "easy oil"   more...has been long since been found.

Now oil companies must scour the ends of the earth to discover new sources. As it stands, we need the oil, but to what extreme will we go?

This documentary explores the exploitation of third world countries for ownership over their precious oil reserves in exchange for chemical waste, environmental disasters and further improverishment.
