US: A study released by a far-left organization is presented by mainstream media as though it were objective and accurate.

The decision was based on the argument that, to allow lawsuits would open the door to a flood of them, especially from parents of autistic children, and threaten the supply and sale of childhood vaccines. [In other words, the Court made its decision, not on the basis of what would be fair to victims of vaccines but what would be best for the makers of vaccines.] Yahoo 2011 Feb 22 (Cached)

Virginia’s bill fails that proposed state issuance of gold and silver coins as an alternative currency, but another bill authorizing the minting of gold and silver commemorative coins is on its way to the Governor. [Many sound-money advocates favored the original bill, but they did not read the Constitution. Article 1 Section 10 forbids states to issue money. That is a function of the federal government. However, there is no obstacle to minting “commemorative medallions.” If people elect to use those in barter instead of Federal Reserve Notes, oh, well.] Washington Post 2011 Feb 21 (Cached)
Monsanto’s “Roundup” spray used on its GMO soy crops is linked to spontaneous abortions and sudden-death syndrome in livestock. [The active ingredient in the spray is Glyphosate, which stimulates the growth of fungi and pathogens. These are what appear to be causing the harm.

US: Science conference hosted by UN promotes government-orchestrated reduction of population. It claims that, otherwise, the world will be a horrible place within just 40 years. [Here we go again. Every time governments want to justify an additional grab of power, they create scare scenarios of pending doom. There is no science to back up these predictions. Statistics show a population decline in much of the advanced world, with primitive regions expected to follow suit as life-style and education improve.] DailyMail 2011 Feb 21 (Cached)
US: Federal, state, and local government debts now equal the high mark after World War II � and are greater than the size of the entire economy. [When the war was over, the debt fell rapidly; but, today, it is continuing upward in a vertical climb.]

The UN wants 2% of every nation’s income (that includes 2% or your income) supposedly to fight global warming. Promised ‘benefits’ are millions of new jobs and better health for all. [What they didn’t say is that taking 2% of the world’s income will cause the loss of twice as many old jobs as the the new ones created. Oh, did we mention that global warming is a myth?] Guardian 2011 Feb 20 (Cached)

ANALYSIS
Reports and commentaries that look beyond the news to identify historical facts and trends that must be understood to place the news into perspective. This is our “think-tank” section that makes it possible to anticipate future events.
The “revolutions” in the Arab world are not what they appear to be on the surface. This analysis probes the problem of acting with rage against a known tyrant but being in the dark about who is waiting in the wings to pick up the pieces afterward.

Here is an excellent analysis of “Which Path to Persia,” a strategy paper prepared by the Brookings Institute, which is a think tank funded by mega-corporations within the orbit of the CFR.
