Help Keep Consortiumnews Afloat

From Editor Robert Parry: Even though our Web site offers unique insights into the dark side of American politics especially dirty tricks involving foreign policy election years are tough on our fundraising because people also are supporting their favored candidates. But we are running out of money and need your help.

If we can raise at least $10,000 in the next week, I will press ahead with two postponed investigations, one examining whether Mitt Romney’s secretive business activities crossed over into money-laundering and the other exploring a secret deal that media mogul Rupert Murdoch struck with Republicans three decades ago.

There are also new suspicions about who and what is behind the recent violence targeting U.S. diplomatic posts in the Middle East, a story that must be investigated in real time if the attacks are not to be exploited for electoral advantage.

Robert Parry broke many of the Iran-Contra stories in the 1980s for the Associated Press and Newsweek. He founded Consortiumnews.com in 1995 as the Internet’s first investigative magazine. He saw it as a way to combine modern technology and old-fashioned journalism to counter the increasing triviality of the mainstream U.S. news media.

    This is the response you get to an appeal for help just to stay alive? This is how much people care about an independent news source in an age of corporate control of news and incessant use of propaganda and outright lying? It’s hard enough to keep on seeking out the truth these days, but I shudder to think of what it must be like to write the truth when there aren’t enough people who care about the truth enough to contribute a measly 50 grand to keep Consortium going. I have been donating monthly since I discovered this site, and anyone who visits here once a week or more and doesn’t contribute is guilty of theft in my book.

    When will Mr. Parry get a new picture of himself up? That one must be at least 20 years old.

    Ask your kleptocratic war criminal president.
    He owes you, now that you told your readers what dumb fucks they were for failing to support him.

    It might help if Consortium did not practice censorship.

    Especially on any post related to 9/11
