" It is the function of the CIA to keep the world unstable and to propagandize the American people to hate, so we will let the establishment spend any amount of money on arms. " - John Stockwell
 
"Even open-minded people will often find themselves unable to take seriously the likes of [Noam] Chomsky, [Edward] Herman, [Howard] Zinn and [Susan] George on first encountering their work; it just does not seem possible that we could be so mistaken in what we believe. The individual may assume that these writers must be somehow joking, wildly over-stating the case, paranoid, or have some sort of axe to grind. We may actually become angry with them for telling us these terrible things about our society and insist that this simply 'can't be true'. It takes real effort to keep reading, to resist the reassuring messages of the mass media and be prepared to consider the evidence again." - David Edwards
 
"The corporate grip on opinion in the United States is one of the wonders of the Western world. No First World country has ever managed to eliminate so entirely from its media all objectivity - much less dissent." - Gore Vidal 
 
With Your Help We Are Changing Lives 
 
We received this message this morning.

Thank YOU, ICH! Your work is purely astonishing -- absolutely "unmatched".
What I have both "learned" and especially "UN-learned" has thoroughly changed my life.

PLEASE carry on your fight to "educate" (formerly) brain-washed/-dead Americans to the lies, deceptions and myths we have been spoon-fed from birth -- and the rampant "evil" it has spawned globally, and for decades.

Thanks to Robert and all of you for making this service possible.   
Help us to "educate" the brain-washed, to the lies, deceptions and myths that we have been spoon-fed from birth.
 
Please p rovide whatever you can $5 - $10, $20, $50, $100- http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/support.htm
 
Thank you -  Tom Feeley
