The media needs to up their game. They are severely outspent, out manned and out gunned by their subjects. Start spending serious money to out criminals in our government. We will thank you for it and click on those ads. washingtonpost.com/national-secur…
Sometimes its hard to tell if they are serious about defending the public interest or stirring the pot. We just survived four years of criminal conspiracy and sedition. There oughta be something worth digging into. bestcommunicationsdegrees.com/biggest-media-…
Right now the media has access to all the same commerical tools used by JSOC and governments to unmask fuckery and hunt terrorists or dissidents. But it costs money. The government is using it against journalists so why not level the playing field? fas.org/sgp/crs/terror…

#Iraqwar is trending. I knew it was a fraud and spoke out. I also went there before and during to document the crime being committed.
The late Danny Schechter did a great doc on this. Yes I helped. That's me mumbling in the intro and explaining what its like to be embedded with journalists. Homemade but earnest it's an attempt to show the collusion of the media in the murder of Iraqis.
Tired of the bullshit being fed into the public from embedded media, I created IraqSlogger with Eason Jordan. The most insightful and real reporting from the ground in Iraq. iraqslogger.powweb.com

Interesting article by @ChristopherJM. Williams has shown up in some interesting slots. Lincoln Group is one. the other is Ex Umbra linked to Dewey before he died. Former Marine who did GRS for a tiny bit and then ran Erik's Special Programs. protectionfromabuse.org/thomas-william…
There is a funny story about Erik Prince hounding Dewey for his black book and then getting nailed in the act after the funeral. I will let the guy who caught him tell the whole story.
You might remember when President Paranoia thought he was being bugged, Williams was EVP of Whitefish MT based Aymntor Group, a private "find fix and finish" group that was pitched by pros but got fucked by towhead... leading to angry recriminations. buzzfeednews.com/article/aramro…

"Tourist" is the latest movie about Wagner mercenaries in Africa. Blood Diamonds meets Hybrid Warfare. You got give Putin credit for seizing the narrative. Which reminds me. How many of you racked up "Shugalei"? ImageImageImage
Sociologist Maxim Shugalei and interpreter Samer Hassan "are trying to survive in a terrorist prison when they uncover the broader picture which would never appear in a mainstream media." So lets make an actiona flick!
Here is the whole movie. But seriously there are some serious benefits of state propaganda reshaping events into action movies. Please submit your proposal below.
