It's Fall - and we have to ask... Can you help? Independent websites like ours give you essential alternatives to MSM. We do not charge you, nor withhold part of the article you're reading. Our people work for the cause, not pay. Every Fall, the web hosting and security companies bill us. Every Fall, we ask you to chip in to pay these 2 bills. Can you help out again this year? If not us, help another alternative site! It's imperative!! Keep alternatives afloat! * * * * *

With thousands of advertisements seen by Americans every day, and a corporate media that reinforces the needs of Empire, propaganda in the U.S. is more pervasive and effective than ever before.

The manipulation of public opinion through suggestion can be traced back to the father of modern propaganda, Edward Bernays, who discovered that preying on the subconscious mind was the best way to sell products people don't need, and wars people don't want. To get a deeper understanding of how propaganda functions in today's society, Abby Martin interviews Professor Mark Crispin Miller, professor of Media Studies at New York University.

Can You Help, Please?

We ask yearly each Autumn for your support

to pay for web hosting & security.

Please keep the lifeboat afloat.

Support "alternative" websites year-round!

For freedom of speech, for freedom of information.

For your own sake.

Can You Help, Please?

It’s that time of year again when we find our supply completely depleted.

We know you’re constantly bombarded with year-long requests. We ask once for donations in the Fall when our biggest bill - web hosting & security – takes the last of our supply. All staff and contributors are volunteer. Your contribution goes directly for the website (of which newsletters are one part) and is eligible for a charitable tax deduction.
