Kicking Against the Establishment: It’s Time for Truth in Media
Rhetoric coming out of Washington is
constantly using and abusing the term “democracy” as a concept to be
defended and cheered. But what we see in the US is a far-cry from any
real and accountable system of democracy.
In fact, the United States of
America couldn’t be farther from being “the land of milk and honey” as
it once proclaimed itself to be; its promise of wealth and stability,
the oft-referenced yet seldom seen “American dream”, is undeniably
buried in the realm of wishful thinking — for the majority of people,
that is.
Elections give the illusion of choice while maintaining a status quo that sees the rich get richer and the poor scrambling to redefine their definitions of “rock bottom”. (See Andy Kroll, “Billionaires Unchained: America is a Democracy of the Wealthy“).
The good news is, the majority can no longer afford (quite literally) to stay complacent in the face of rampant financial exploitation by a ruling minority that knows no bounds to its powerlust.
Global Research doesn’t shy away from
exposing corporate exploitation and media manipulation; we confront it
head on through in-depth and independent coverage of global event:
“Global Research has
moved to the forefront of institutions presenting a hard-hitting,
progressive, and intelligent critique of world politics and in
particular of American foreign policy. I check it every day just to see
who is on there and what they are saying. We need to keep this unique
Voice alive and kicking against the Establishment.”

To maintain our complete independence,
Global Research does not accept government or corporate funding. It may
seem obvious, but how can any organization or individual have the
freedom to speak the truth if they are funded by the very agencies
actively engaged in the dissemination of disinformation? Our
independence matters to us and we know it matters to you, our readers.
Our readers are helping the beacon of
truth shine brighter by passing on the information, engaging in research
and dialogue, and achieving real and sustainable empowerment.
Therefore, we ask you to come together and show your support by making a donation and/or starting a membership

reaches as many people as possible. Please help us in the fight against
mainstream media lies, we cannot do it without your support.
