What Else is the Mainstream Media Lying About?

Fair enough. Even though the media is owned by huge corporations, there are honest, crackerjack journalists out there who will dig and fight in order to expose, the real story.
However, I would counter, editors kneel at the alter of a corporate boss. The US is tied for 53rd in the world for press freedom with Botswana, Croatia and Tonga. http://www.rsf.org/article.php3?id_article=19388
Rather than listing the hundreds of lies, omissions, distortions, 'coincidences' and physical impossibilities that make up the official narrative of the events of 9/11, facts that my good friend refuses to even look at, because he saw the planes hit the towers with his own eyes and knows what happened, I'd like to take a look at the mainstream media instead. Since a lie encompasses omissions and distortions, as well as the simple act of not telling the truth, I'm wondering what else the mainstream media is lying about to the American people.
Depleted Uranium-The US military used depleted uranium munitions in Gulf War 1, Bosnia, Gulf War 2 and, through sales and gifts to Israel, in Lebanon. Our soldiers are being poisoned, disabled and eventually murdered by our own government. In addition, the regions of the world where D.U. is dispersed are basically poisoned forever. This includes the food, the water, the soil and the genetics of all species of life, forever!
Impending Collapse of the Petrol Dollar-When Iran and Russia and Venezuela start selling their oil for Euros instead of dollars, the dollar will become virtually worthless and the U.S. economy will crash. The US is the largest debtor nation in the world and yet, the media claims we're the most powerful economy on the planet.
C.F.R.-The Council on Foreign Relations dictates domestic and foreign policy for the U.S. and the C.F.R. provides the U.S. voters with a choice of C.F.R. Bush or C.F.R. Kerry. I believe Barry Goldwater was the only major party candidate for president since the 40's that was not a member. This club of elitists has unlimited power over our lives.
The Federal Reserve Bank-Created by the Federal Reserve Act of 1913, this traitorous Act gave a private cabal of the most powerful bankers, the job of printing our money supply, loaning it to the government and then charging an interest rate for repayment of this loan. Before 1913, the U.S. government printed the dollar and it was worth a dollar-now it is worth 4 cents!
The IRS-The Internal Revenue Service was created to collect an unconstitutional garnishment of a tax on our labor, in order to pay the interest on the Federal Reserve 'loan' to the US government. Quite simply, income is defined in the Constitution as earnings from investments, from employment overseas and from employment by the federal government. Further more, Supreme Court rulings have codified and upheld the principle that labor is not taxable. Our representatives know this, our judges know this and I suspect quite a few journalists, editors and media moguls know this as well. This is a fraud on a massive scale and yet, I still haven't seen a story on this. But, I have seen America: Freedom to Fascism http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-4312730277175242198&hl=en and I have read Cracking the Code http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6994111921004029996&hl=en . Every American citizen should do the same ASAP.
CIA-ISI-Al Qaeda---The CIA funds the Pakistani ISI which in turn funds the group (given its name by US intelligence by the way) Al Qaeda.
http://prisonplanet.com/articles/october2006/061006alqaedacrap.htm Daniel Pearl was murdered in Pakistan tracking down the money trail of 9/11-the trail that the 9/11 Commission couldn't track, believed to be relatively unimportant, and subsequently, left out of its report. Daniel Pearl was a crackerjack journalist and he was brutally murdered by 'terrorists' in ISI Pakistan. It was not because he was Jewish. I believe that is the implication the press left us with, before they completely forgot the story.
The War Time President-Only Congress can declare war. Congress has not declared war on Afghanistan, Iraq or 'terror', therefore, we are not at war. Therefore, George Bush is not a war time president. He is however, a warring president, who illegally starts wars, murders civilians and divides foreign countries as he divides the US.
FEMA Camps and Chertoff-Halliburton is building FEMA camps in the US, complete with razor wire and guard towers. Department of Homeland Security chief, Michael Chertoff, who has complete control over FEMA, maintains dual citizenship with Israel and is, in fact, the son of a Mossad agent. I can't remember the mainstream media exposing these frightening facts to the US public. http://prisonplanet.com/articles/September2006/170906Camp.htm
Toxic Dust at the WTC site--Who was responsible for giving the all clear to rescue workers and citizens? The EPA chief, Christine Whitman, under pressure from above, told rescue workers to go to work and to not wear protective masks so as not to scare people. Wall Street had to open! 50% of the Metal of Honor iron workers at the WTC cleanup site now suffer from long term health problems.

A whistle blower was raided by government jackboots for his heroic and patriotic action. http://www.informationliberation.com/index.php?id=15804
The North American Union Superhighway to Hell-The North American Union is being formed right in front of our faces and completely behind our backs. This is the death of American sovereignty and the death of the Constitution. Read Representative Ron Paul's article. He explains it better than I ever could. http://prisonplanet.com/articles/October2006/311006NAFTA.htm
Bin Laden is Not Wanted for the terrorist acts of 9/11-The FBI does not list Bin Laden as being wanted for 9/11, because there is no hard evidence. It's as clear as day on the FBI most wanted site and yet, I have Never seen anyone in the mainstream media even mention this, let alone cover it. Read about it here.http://www.teamliberty.net/id267.html The government refuses to authenticate the Bin Laden confession video. It is clearly a fake. http://www.teamliberty.net/id284.html
AIPAC-The most powerful lobby in D.C. is the American Israeli PAC. New members of Congress learn this immediately after the election. If you speak out against Israeli aggression or you challenge unchecked US support and military sales to Israel, you will be labeled an anti-Semite and targeted. If you play the game you will be rewarded with money, re-election and powerful seats and chairs. How many stories do you recall seeing or reading about this obscene obstructive influence over the will of our elected representatives?
The Telecommunications Lobby-The second most powerful lobby in D.C. is the telecommunications lobby. Not only does this lobby represent a politicians' access to publicity, but this lobby's economic might actually funds the political machines. President Clinton signed the Telecommunications Act that enabled the biggest fish to swallow all of the smaller fish and left us with just a few, gigantic multinational corporations providing all of the programming on the people's airwaves. Thanks to President Reagan's decapitation of the Fairness Doctrine, money is the only access for a political candidate to the people's airwaves. I highly recommend the documentary Orwell Rolls in His Grave. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=1925114769515892401 I guess it's fairly self explanatory as to why the mainstream media hasn't covered this story.
Integrity of Elections-The fairness and accuracy of the election system is never called into question on corporate TV, radio or print. With the exception of Lou Dobbs and Rolling Stone (only because RFK Jr. provided the research and authorship), you cannot find a challenge to this completely manipulated system. Through the HAVA (Help America Vote Act), jammed through by Abramoff partners such as convicted felon, congressman Bob Ney, billions of federal money was supplied to states for the purchase of electronic voting machines. These machines use secretive software that is easily hacked and they are not required to leave a paper trail. There is no way to actually check the count. We won't even go into voter suppression and illegal redistricting schemes, both of which are slaps in the face of democracy. I highly recommend Hacked, the mind blowing documentary featuring Bev Harris. http://www.jonesreport.com/articles/061106_hacking_democracy.html By the way, the http://BradBlog.com has been enlightening citizens along with http://BlackBoxVoting.org for years now. They are bloggers telling the truth.
Exit Polls-In the modern age, the media has always provided exit polls, which are incredibly accurate predictors of actual election returns. However, in 2004, although Kerry was leading in Ohio (and 11 other key states) all day long, when the final returns came in, Bush had won. The media could not explain this of course, so now instead of providing the information, the polls are held until after the returns are in. These polls can now be manipulated to reflect the actual result. The funny thing is that they were always accurate, until electronic machines started counting our votes. Once again, I guess I can understand why the mainstream media hasn't covered this story.
Press for Truth-The families of the victims of the 9/11 tragedy demanded an investigation and finally, after 14 months, the President allowed a handpicked commission to investigate. The families estimate that 30% of their questions were answered by the 9/11 Commission Report. This is an outrage to be sure. If you want to know what the families think and what they've been through and where it stands today, please watch Press for Truth. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=5589099104255077250
Foley is the Tip of the Iceberg-If you think that Representative Mark Foley's homosexual page scandal is proof that the mainstream media does its job, investigates and exposes the scoundrels in D.C., you will be disappointed to find out that his behavior while reprehensible, was relatively mild compared to the real story. Child sex rings that reach to the top? Cover ups by the FBI? You bet. Watch this documentary.
Conspiracy of Silence click here
Rumsfeld's Disease-Donald Rumsfeld worked for years, intimidated the FDA and stated that he didn't care how many people died, he wanted aspartame cleared to enter our food supply. We now have Rumsfeld's disease from this poison. The US Department of Health and Human Services lists over 90 reported symptoms associated with ingestion of this poison. Among these are memory loss, seizures, heart rate changes, numbness, breathing difficulties, fatigue and neurological maladies.
Trillions Missing from the Pentagon-On September 10, 2001, Donald Rumsfeld announced that 2.3 TRILLION dollars were missing from the Pentagon. We all know what happened on September 11 of that year and so, that story was sidelined. The war in Iraq has cost somewhere around the mind numbing amount of 350 billion dollars. The missing money figure at the Pentagon has now reached somewhere around 4 TRILLION dollars! This is astounding and I haven't seen journalist one tracking down this story.
