Incisive article about the 'oft peddled myths' of file sharing, and Record Industry greed and lies.

What good's an election without alternatives? | spiked

From the article: "In the midst of the most profound financial and economic crisis in living memory, what issues are the political class arguing over? Not how our society should produce and distribute its wealth in the future, but how much a few bankers should get in bonuses and which bankers or bureaucrats should sit on financial regulation committees.

After eight years of a grim and unwinnable war in Afghanistan, what are the big questions dominating public debate? The technical question of how many troops and helicopters should be there and the etiquette question of whether government ministers should attend dead British soldiers' homecoming ceremonies. The question of what any British troops have been doing killing and dying in Afghanistan since 2001, the political case for and against such interventions, hardly gets a look in."

Top 25 Censored Stories for 2007 | Project Censored

Censorship is something that happens elsewhere. In the UK and US the mass media industry chooses to 'ignore' certain stories and 'concentrate' on others. Why could be more important than the genocide in Congo? Remember East Timor? What could be more news worthy that the torturing to death or detainees by our brave forces in Afghanistan? Don't worry though, UK subjects, American CIA torture flights out of Afghanistan and Iraq do not stop for refueling at American military bases on our soil, before the long haul across the Atlantic, honest.

From the page: "In particular, behemoth telecom corporations like Comcast, Verizon, and AT&T want to set up toll booths on the Internet. If these companies get their way, content providers with deep pockets will be afforded optimum bandwidth while the rest of us will be left spinning in cyberspace. No longer will everyone enjoy an equal voice in the freest and most comprehensive democratic forum ever devised by humankind.

As might be expected, none of these new developments are being addressed by the MSM. "

From the page: "Two decades of research show that marijuana use may actually reduce driver accidents."

Highlighting the truth in barrage of lies and propaganda is a thankless task. With one side of the argument shuffling everything into an (evil) 'drugs' catchall it's difficult to talk reasonably about managing the use of cannabis, LSD, Ecstasy, cocaine or heroin. However, we can only keep trying to unpick the obfuscating conflations. That's cutting the crap to you.
