John Pilger is good value, one of the best living commentators on our times (except if you are a right-wing conservative who never steps outside mainstream TV and has never heard of him). Interesting times indeed.

Pilger & Fisk on Iraq Coverage: The Real Danger Lies Within
by G�rill Hus and Guri Wiggen

OSLO - If the reality in Iraq is one thing and the reporting of it remains another, it is because much of the media wants it that way, say two leading journalists who have been reporting the 'other' side of the Iraq story.

The level of self-censorship in the media has risen not just during the Iraq war but also since 9/11, says Robert Fisk from The Independent newspaper published in Britain and John Pilger, Australian broadcaster and film-maker........

........ Pilger sees reason for optimism. �There is a movement of resistance globally from the landless peoples movement in Brazil to the huge anti-war movement,� he says. �Nothing like this has ever happened before in my lifetime.� The superpower in Washington is being challenged by the other superpower, he says; the superpower of public opinion.

That's why sites like this and the internet in general are so important.
More people than ever before are able to commmunicate and receive info that they otherwise couldn't get.

As the leaders of the world become more and more interested in their own affairs/agendas, the people are gaining a power and voice which they've never had before.

The NWO may be a small faction of the world's "elite" who have recognized this and aim to stop it, but I have news for them:

There has never been a better time to be alive and it's only going to get better. (for the people)
