For accurate information, seek foreign media

We don’t get real news from US media
Sadly, the best investigative journalism today comes from foreign new services. Major US media play shallow partisan games; but media from countries not controlled by the US government looked more objectively at events here. –Illustration at right by Pixelboy Studio.blogspot.com

Russia Today analyzes the entire political spectrum, not just the Republican/Democrat Tweedle Dee/Dum twins, and seriously investigates under-the-radar trends. On this day, Pakistan Daily published a more thorough investigative article on the US Federal Reserve System than any seen in US news.

It’s astonishing to see the critical analyses considered appropriate for readers of the best foreign news, contrasted with the weak-minded, Establishment pablum spoon fed Americans by our major media.

For Americans to be as well-informed on US news as many foreigners, it takes turning off TV’s highly-paid cheerleaders who fail to face facts about the bankrupt US Empire. With a bit of internet research we can access multiple sources for real US news, rather than infotainment and fear-based propaganda. Here’s a small section of the Pakistan Daily article:

“The United States grew rapidly for 120 years with virtually no inflation. With the creation of the Federal Reserve in 1913, the inflation genie was let out of the bottle. Nixon’s closing of the gold window in 1971 unleashed a tsunami of inflation, covered up by statistical manipulation by the Fed and government.

For those who prefer seeing what real things cost, below is a chart with some key financial items for the average person. If it feels like your family has fallen behind since 1971, you’re right. Your pay has not come close to keeping up with the cost of a new house, a new car or gas to fill up that car. This is why it takes two parents working just to keep up with inflation.

Items…………………………….. 1971………. 2007……….. %increase
Average cost of new house$28,000… $314,000…… 112%
Median Income…………………. 10,300…….. 58,700…… 570%
Average monthly rent………. …….150…………..730……..48%
Cost a a gallon of gas ………………….. 0.40 ……… 2.80.. 700%

Average new car price …………. 3,430…….. 28,000……. 816%
US postage stamp ……………………….0.08…………
0.41… 512%
Movie ticket……………………………… 1.50………… 7.00… 467% ”

    Since the established media is unreliable at best, we all need to educate ourselves and others to help redirect the world toward peace and freedom.
