WATCH: The FBI War on Tupac Shakur and Black Leaders by John Potash

"The FBI War on Tupac Shakur and Black Leaders contains a wealth of names, dates and events detailing the use of COINTELPRO style tactics by the FBI against two generations of leftist activists and political rap artists. Based on 12 years of research; sources include over 100 interviews, FOIA-released CIA and FBI documents, court transcripts, and many mainstream media outlets. The FBI War on Tupac Shakurpresents evidence that U.S. Intelligence employed similar tactics to assassinate Tupac Shakur, Robert F. Kennedy, environmentalist Judi Bari, and Filberto Ojeda Rios. Plus additional material including how the FBI deputized 23,000 corporate executives, the Intelligence targeting of author Richard Wright and evidence of police intelligence cover-up around Jam Master Jay's murder. The author quotes CIA and FBI whistleblowers who describe the agencies' continued COINTELPRO activity, particularly against the black left. Of special interest in the author's analysis of the control of US Intelligence over media and culture." - AK PRESS

UNDERSTANDING THE PROPAGANDA WAR AGAINST SYRIA

"Almost as important as the content of the claims, was the nature of who made them. The UN Human Rights Council, Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International and countless other organizations which are dependent on funding from the US and its allies lent credence to such charges, providing an air of legitimacy to claims which, otherwise, would have been dismissed as little more than NATO propaganda. In this way, these organizations are complicit in the instigation of war and the devastation wrought on Libya."

DEMOCRACY NOW! AND “PROGRESSIVE ALTERNATIVE MEDIA”: CHEERLEADERS FOR IMPERIALISM AND WAR

Recall that the Libyan leader was lynched on a roadside by a NATO-directed mob, and sodomised with a knife before being shot dead. It may also be recalled that "Democracy Now" gave prominent broadcasts supporting NATO’s intervention in Libya and justifying the criminal subversion of that country. Going by the latest coverage on Syria, Democracy Now is acting once again under a "progressive" cloak as a propaganda tool for US-led imperialist intervention. Given the misplaced respect among many of the public seeking independent, alternative, accurate news and analysis, this insidious role of Democracy Now is reprehensible. May it be suggested, in the name of media transparency, that the programme be aptly renamed "Imperialism Now".

SIX QUESTIONS FOR THE MEDIA, THE UN AND NGOS REGARDING THE HOULA MASSACRE

Syria 360: "I received this statement through private correspondence with Marinella Corregia. I am posting the original Italian version. It appears on her website as “Lettera aperta al Ministro degli Esteri: Massacro degli innocenti a Hulé (Siria), contraddizioni dei media e dei politici internazionali”."

Fantasy of the Fatherland

"From CIA-sponsored color revolutions to corporate paternalism, we are taught to be intellectually infantile and politically illiterate. Those who awaken from this L-dopa state are quickly categorized as non-conforming and shuttled off to re-education camps, prison plantations, or meaningless lives of poverty."

Laws vs. Color Revolutions in Latin America | ALBA

"The US intelligence is making systematic efforts to energize the political opposition in Latin American countries deemed unfriendly in Washington. The strategy encompasses the radicalization of the existing political parties and groups plus the creation of new ones pursuing ever more aggressive agendas, and the formation of a network of seemingly harmless NGOs ready to launch massive attacks against the regimes in their respective countries whenever their sponsors and curators chose to unleash them."

The International Campaign Against Evo Morales

"No es ningún secreto que Al Jazeera se ha convertido en una herramienta fundamental de propaganda sirviendo a las potencias imperialistas en las campañas de desestabilización que se expanden a una velocidad sin precedente por todo el mundo. Lo que quizás sea menos conocido es la campaña de desestabilización organizada contra el presidente boliviano Evo Morales, la cual él eludió y superó con éxito a finales de 2011, cuando los medios de comunicación reportaron varias muertes, entre ellas un bebé, todo lo cual resultó ser una completa fabricación."
