New York Times Admits CIA Must Approve Everything It Publishes

7 years ago

The New York Times has been forced to (quietly – on Christmas Eve) admit to its readers that the CIA must approve every article they write before being published. When the NYT got criticised for redacting a recent op-ed about 9/11, they published an explanation to their readers in which they unintentionally confess that the White House and intelligence services control everything they print. Endofinnocence.com reports: As you can probably guess, their readers did not respond to their cry for help, and if their readers don’t care, why would they care? In the … Read More

32 years ago

Iran-Contra Affair pardons. George H. W. Bush (R) granted clemency to five convicted government officials and Caspar Weinberger, whose trial had not yet begun. This action prevented any further investigation into the matter. Weinberger had been indicted by attorney Lawrence Walsh on five felony charges related to the Iran-Contra affair, including accusations that he’d lied to Congress and obstructed Congress. This is the indictment that ousted one corrupt drug running U.S. president in his bid for re-election in favor of another corrupt president, Bill Clinton. A month after the election, … Read More

President Ronald Reagan’s Radio Address on Christmas to the Nation

41 years ago

My fellow Americans: Like so many of your homes, the White House is brimming with greens, colorful decorations, and a tree trimmed and ready for Christmas day. And when Nancy and I look out from our upstairs windows, we can see the National Christmas Tree standing in majestic beauty. Its lights fill the air with a spirit of love, hope, and joy from the heart of America. I shared that spirit recently when a young girl named Amy Benham helped me light our national tree. Amy had said … Read More

[Broadcast nationally at 5:15 p.m.] Fellow citizens everywhere: Again our thoughts and aspirations and the hopes of future years turn to a little town in the hills of Judea where on a winter’s night two thousand years ago the prophecy of Isaiah was fulfilled. Shepherds keeping the watch by night over their flock heard the glad tidings of great joy from the angels of the Lord singing, “Glory to God in the Highest and on Earth, peace, good will toward men.” The message of Bethlehem best sums up … Read More

The FBI Poisoned Alcohol During the Prohibition Era Killing an Estimated 10,000 People and Sickening, Blinding, & Paralyzing Tens of Thousands Mo…

98 years ago

It was Christmas Eve 1926, the streets aglitter with snow and lights, when the man afraid of Santa Claus stumbled into the emergency room at New York City’s Bellevue Hospital. He was flushed, gasping with fear: Santa Claus, he kept telling the nurses, was just behind him, wielding a baseball bat. Before hospital staff realized how sick he was—the alcohol-induced hallucination was just a symptom—the man died. So did another holiday partygoer. And another. As dusk fell on Christmas, the hospital staff tallied up more than 60 people … Read More

The KKK is Founded by Six Confederate Veterans as the Terrorist Arm of the Democratic Party

159 years ago

Democratic Party leaders and media surrogates falsely link the Republican Party to the Ku Klux Klan. In reality, it was Democrats who started the Ku Klux Klan that became the terrorist arm of the Democratic Party. History.com even has it right: In Pulaski, Tennessee, a group of Confederate veterans convenes to form a secret society that they christen the “Ku Klux Klan.” The KKK rapidly grew from a secret social fraternity to a paramilitary force bent on reversing the federal government’s progressive Reconstruction era-activities in the South, especially policies that elevated … Read More
