In the late, lamented TV show "Max Headroom", the title character once said; "Have you any idea how successful censorship is on TV? Don't know the answer? Hmmmmm...successful, isn't it?"

"MediaLens is a response based on our conviction that mainstream newspapers and broadcasters provide a profoundly distorted picture of our world. We are convinced that the increasingly centralised, corporate nature of the media means that it acts as a de facto propaganda system for corporate and other establishment interests. The costs incurred as a result of this propaganda, in terms of human suffering and environmental degradation, are incalculable." - from the website

COMMENTARY SITES

DOUG BASHAM & LYDIA CORNELL
Doug Basham, a local Las Vegas radio talk show host who openly locked horns with the conservative talk show hosts of the station he was on (KDWN, AM 720). Unfortunately, his political viewpoints were not shared by the station's management and several of the station's other show hosts (despite having very favorable ratings), and his show was, in Basham's own words, "Dixie Chicked".
He has returned to the air with a one-hour radio call-in show on KLAV (1230 AM), Weekday mornings at 8 AM Pacific (11 AM Eastern), co-hosted by actress and writer
Lydia Cornell. His program can also be heard over the internet via his website.

ERIC BLUMRICH ("BUSH FLASH")

Bush Flash


Eric is a computer genius who has created some powerful anti-war Flash animations on the USA's involvement in world politics. They take a while a load, and some contain VERY GRAPHIC images, so be forewarned!
Also, he has a
great selection of links.

THE BOONDOCKS
Aaron McGruder's comic strip that can be best described as a street-wise version of "Doonesbury", with much sharper (and double-edged) satire.

CapedMaskedAndArmed.com
Incredible detourned videos with news links, photos and art to download for stickers.

CHRISTIAN BUTTERBACH
His personal tri-lingual (English, French, German) website of his many articles and commentaries on individual sovereignty, anarchism, panarchism and exterritorialism ("The Exterritorial Imperative").

DANIEL ELLSBERG
The man who blew the whistle on how the US Government lied about Vietnam, by leaking "The Pentagon Papers". He gives his commentary on current events here.

DOONESBURY
Garry Trudeau's political strip, and a frequent target of conservative editorial writers. You can also visit the
Doonesbury Town Hall and Web Presence.

THE EAGLE'S NEST
Links to various activist and environmentalist groups.

"The Fire This Time"
This review says it best:
"A terrifying and timely audio essay by documentary film-maker Grant Wakefield, which deconstructs Western foreign policy towards Iraq from the post-1918 British occupation to the Gulf war and ensuing economic sanctions. Splicing a wealth of news footage, political statements and narration into traditional Arabic music and new tunes donated by the likes of Aphex Twin and Speedy J, it's a judicious montage in which politicians, military advisers and a complicit media all indict themselves as wrong-headed, duplicitous or just plain evil. As well as its own coherent argument, it gives a too rarely heard voice to the Iraqi people, and has been assembled with such originality that it creates its own new genre of protest record. It comes packaged with an instrumental version, for when the aural assault of disc one becomes, as it should, too sickening and awful to bear."
- THE INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY - 16th February 2003 - 5 / 5

"All images are copyright-free and can be reproduced/forwarded free-of-charge, since it's a non-profit action. I beg you to promote this art as much as you can. You don't need even to give me credit for this. I don't care about credits. The only thing I have in mind is to make Palestine visible for the world, since Jewish/Israeli lobby is always trying to deny existence of Palestine as nation, people and culture." - Carlos Latuff

ANTI-WAR SONGS
What amazes me is that there are a number of major label artists who are writing songs that openly oppose the war, yet NONE of them are getting any airplay (I won't mention names,
Clear Channel!) or even being mentioned in the major media!

Examples:

JYNKZ
Fine artist and independent musician who has written and recorded the moving anti-war anthem
"We Don't Want Your War", which has been played and sung at protest rallies around the world. You can hear and download it free from his website, as well as other songs he has composed and recorded. His CD's are also available for sale at this website.

JOHN FOGERTY
The former front-man for
Creedence Clearwater Revival is now a soloist and has released the single "Deja Vu (All Over Again)", a commentary on contemporary American politics, from the album of the same name.
(Ex-Revival members, Stu Cook [drums] and Doug “Cosmo” Clifford [bass] have teamed up to form Creedence Clearwater Revisited.)

JOHN MELLENCAMP
The former Mr. John Cougar and long-time Southern Rock star ("Hurts So Good", "Little Pink Houses", "Small Town", "Scarecrow"), has recorded an anti-war folk song! You can download an MP3 file of his song "To Washington" from his website (Go to the
"Trouble No More" page and scroll down. You can see the video for the song there in Real Video, QuickTime and Windows Media Player formats (Scroll down the page).
The song, a reworking of Woody Guthrie's "From Baltimore to Washington", also appears on his latest CD, "Trouble No More".

STOP THE WAR BIRGADE
Led by Stephen Darnell Summers, this rap group, consisting of U.S Army veterans based in Germany opposed to what they see as "American Imperialism", recorded a song entitled
"Just Say No". It was recorded in 1990, during the FIRST Gulf War, but still packs a punch. It can be listened to from this website.
A new song, "Hey Joe (George)", recorded in 2003, has been added to this website (Explicit Lyrics).
Note: This site plays a segment of the song when opened.

Riot Folk Records
"We are a collective of radical musicians acting as an anti-profit record label/performance troupe. We're participating in the resistance by writing and distributing music that teaches, provokes, heals, and inspires." - from the website

New Rulers of the World

A documentary film by John Pilger

'Global economy' is a modern Orwellian term. On the surface, it is instant financial trading, mobile phones, McDonald's, Starbucks, holidays booked on the net. Beneath this gloss, it is the globalisation of poverty, a world where most human beings never make a phone call and live on less than two dollars a day, where 6,000 children die every day from diarrhea because most have no access to clean water.
