Over the last 8yrs there have been many news worthy stories and events that haven't got the full coverage they deserve.Why?
Because they are volatile,damaging to governments and they tell the truth of what is going on in the world today.
Below is a list of just a few of the most censored events since the
dawn of the new century....
1. Multinational Corporations Profit From International Brutality.
In the name of commerce, huge multinational corporations collaborate with repressive governments, and in the process, support significant human rights
violations. Corporations often argue that their presence and investment will improve human rights. This practice is referred to as “constructive
engagement”. Major international energy corporations such as Mobil, Exxon, Enron, and UNOCAL have engaged in major business ventures in countries
known as major human rights violators....

2.The U.S. and NATO Deliberately Started the War with Yugoslavia.
The US and NATO pushed for war with Yugoslavia by demanding full military occupation of the entire country as a condition of not bombing. Belgrade
could not accept the U.S. drafted two-part Rambouillet ultimatum, not only because it was a thinly veiled plan to detach Kosovo from Serbia, but also
because it contained provisions even worse than loss of that historic province, provisions no sovereign country in the world could possibly
accept...

3.Evidence Indicates No Pre-war Genocide in Kosovo and Possible Plot to Create Disinformation.
According to the New York Times, the “turning point” to NATO’s decision to go to war against Yugoslavia occurred on January 20, 1999 when
U.S. diplomat William Walker led a group of news reporters to discover a so-called Serb massacre of some 45 Albanians in Racak, Kosovo. This story
made international headlines and was later used to justify the NATO bombings...

4.U.S. Media Ignores Humanitarian Aspects of Famine in Korea.
A humanitarian food crisis of staggering proportions has been developing in North Korea, yet nowhere has there been an outcry like the one fueled
by media worldwide for Ethiopia. Instead, the media chooses to focus on the implication of the threat posed by North Korea as they continue their
nuclear testing...

5.The Vatican’s U. N. Status Challenged.
While permanent observers, such as the Holy See, cannot vote in the General Assembly, in most UN conferences they are granted the full status
enjoyed by UN member states, including not only a voice, but also a vote. During debate, the Holy See, alone among the world’s religions, can make
as many interventions as a member state...

6.CIA Kidnaps Suspects for Overseas Torture and Execution.
U.S.agents are involved in abducting people they suspect of terrorist activities and sending them to countries where torture during interrogation
is legal, according to U.S. diplomatic sources. Suspects are shipped to allied countries where they are denied legal assistance and imprisoned without
any specific charges made against them. The prisoners have been taken to countries such as Egypt and Jordan (whose intelligence agencies have close
ties to the CIA) where they can be subjected to interrogation tactics, including torture and threats to family, which are illegal in the United
States...

7.Bush administration manipulates science and censors scientists.
A study by the EPA found that the bipartisan Senate Clear Air bill would do more to prevent American deaths than the Bush administration's
proposed air pollution plan, known as "Clear Skies." This study was promptly repressed by the Bush administration....An Environmental News Service
report summed it up thusly: "President George W. Bush has suppressed and distorted scientific analysis from federal agencies, subjected government
scientists to 'censorship and political oversight,' and taken actions that have undermined the quality of scientific advisory panels."

8.High Uranium Levels Found in Troops and Civilians.
Last year, Project Censored included the United States' and Great Britain's continued use of depleted uranium weapons--despite ample evidence of
its acute health effects--among its top 10 underreported stories. Almost 10,000 U.S. troops had died within 10 years of serving in the first Gulf War,
researchers had found. And more than a third of those still alive had filed Gulf War Syndrome-related claims.

9.Surveillance Society Quietly Moves In.
It's a well-known dirty trick in the halls of government: If you want to pass unpopular legislation that you know won't stand up to scrutiny,
just wait until the public isn't looking.That's precisely what the White House did Dec. 13, 2003, the day American troops captured Saddam
Hussein...

Fears that the UK would "sleep-walk into a surveillance society" have become a reality, the government's information commissioner has
said.

10.U.S. Uses Tsunami to Military Advantage in Southeast Asia.
During subsequent tsunami relief operations, the U.S. reactivated its military co-operation agreements with Thailand and the Visiting Forces
Agreement with the Philippines. U.S. Navy also vessels utilized facilities in Singapore, keeping with previous treaties. Further, the U.S. marines and
the navy arrived in Sri Lanka to bolster relief measures despite the tsunami-hit island s initial reluctance to permit their entry...

11.The Real Oil for Food Scam.
The U.S. has accused UN officials of corruption in Iraq’s oil for food program. According to Joy Gordon and Scott Ritter the charge was actually
an attempt to disguise and cover up long term U.S. government complicity in this corruption. Ritter says, “this posturing is nothing more than a
hypocritical charade, designed to shift attention away from the debacle of George Bush’s self-made quagmire in Iraq, and legitimize the invasion of
Iraq by using Iraqi corruption and not the now-missing weapons of mass destruction, as the excuse.” Gordon arrives at the conclusion that,
“perhaps it is unsurprising that today the only role its seems the United States expects the UN to play in the continuing drama of Iraq is that of
scapegoat.”

12.Future of Internet Debate Ignored by Media.
Throughout 2005 and 2006, a large underground debate raged regarding the future of the Internet. More recently referred to as “network
neutrality,” the issue has become a tug of war with cable companies on the one hand and consumers and Internet service providers on the other. Yet
despite important legislative proposals and Supreme Court decisions throughout 2005, the issue was almost completely ignored in the headlines until
2006.1 And, except for occasional coverage on CNBC’s Kudlow & Kramer, mainstream television remains hands-off to this day...

13.Halliburton Charged with Selling Nuclear Technologies to Iran.
According to journalist Jason Leopold, sources at former Cheney company Halliburton allege that, as recently as January of 2005, Halliburton sold
key components for a nuclear reactor to an Iranian oil development company. Leopold says his Halliburton sources have intimate knowledge of the
business dealings of both Halliburton and Oriental Oil Kish, one of Iran’s largest private oil companies...
