…With Confidence But Sadness And Frustration

The biggest question I’m currently asking myself is how something so obvious to me, is either not observed, completely ignored or worse, seen to be the opposite by so many others? ( It’s disconcerting if not down right uncomfortable to perceive something so obvious when others don’t.) Leaving aside the greedy, the corrupt and the brainwashed from birth, my best answer so far is the complicity of the mainstream media in ignoring, covering up or even facilitating the events I’m witnessing.

The mass slaughter, displacement and land theft being perpetrated on the Palestinian people is well documented and can be easily seen if you take the time to look in the right places. But the average person who relies on the local or national morning or evening news can easily go weeks without hearing anything about the plight of the Palestinians. If the topic is mentioned it is almost always to refer to the difficulties and supposed suffering of Zionists whether in Israel or on the streets of New York. Or to be told over and over and over that protesting a genocide or even wearing the wrong clothing is “antisemitic.” A term used to describe so many things that it has really lost significance.

The reason I’m still so confident in the conclusions that I have drawn, is that I rely on the trustworthy journalists and experts that I have followed long enough to know that they have integrity, care about truth and in most cases have sacrificed some fame and or fortune to do their jobs properly. It’s individuals and outlets like this that are linked at the bottom of this page.

If your sole source of information is legacy media and you don’t trust anything else, here are a couple of rare clips from CNN and MSNBC that might start you asking more questions and seeking answers from other places… like the links I’ve listed below.
