Democracynow.org, Get the News as it is!

Modern day television and radio have been swamped with hundreds or even thousands of stations and channels, but crippled by the corrupt hands of media censorship. Even in such a scenario, Democracy Now begs to differ! Upholding the concept of ‘Independent Media', Democracy Now has over 500 stations spread across the length and breadth of North America.

Even the numerous fans who tune in to listen/watch the news are not with varied opinion that for a true democracy, citizens should have access to independent media content. And that is the ground rule that Democracy Now applies, which is the largest community media collaboration in the US.

At Democracy Now, news is treated as it should be. DemocracyNow.org, the online replica gives you a complete picture of The War and Peace Report, hosted by award winning journalists Amy Goodman and Juan Gonzales. Hear the news reports online and feel contended on the truth being unraveled. Flip through the headlines of the day and if in case you don't read English rely on the Democracy Now's daily news summary translated into Spanish. Also get the most recent and the sensational picks with the complete and detailed report. And if you have missed out any of the previous episodes have a glance through Previous Shows to fill in the gaps that you worry about.

What's more, Democracy Now has come up with ‘podcast' of shows that allows for quick automatic downloads every day right on to your computers or portable MP3 players. Moreover the site also leaves an option to add Democracy Now radio to your community.

And why don't you take a look at the cool stuff in the online store; everything you pay for go directly towards continued production of your favorite show. You can buy Democracy Now daily shows, Democracy Now customized T-shirts, coffee mugs, hats, bumper stickers, DVD videos and more!

Democracy Now is run solely by the fund the company receives from the listeners, viewers and other foundations that take up to sponsor the cause of free media. And this could be probably the one site online, where you wouldn't have those ad links or blocks interrupting your way. And more importantly, the site does not accept any sort of fund reserves from government, which allows it to uphold the concept of Independent Media.

Democracy Now's attempt to provide its audience with news and perspectives that are hardly heard, is indeed worth appreciating.

I have been listening to Amy Goodman for approximately four years now. The show is the most informative news cast program that I have ever heard. Amy you have large following in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice I.D. system for which I have just been released. Keep up the good work! I shall continue to look forward to listening to the show. Keep socking it to Bush and his band of thieves.

Respectfully;

Report: The Real America

Re-Edited

June 18, 2008

America has just as many human rights violation as China, Russia, and other countries. African American men, and Native Americans Indians are treated like animals. Why haven’t any no said anything about it? America is an evil country. The CIA agents are stationed in every country around the world. Their purpose is to control the country’s government they are stationed in. The CIA through the U.S government spends millions of dollars to control the outcome of elections, and sponsor over throw of the governments America has vital interest in. They will support any leader, even if the person they support is a brutal dictator, and murderer. It don’t matter, so long as they have control over that leader. Someone please tell the American government to shut the hell up!

They want a pro-American government in every country around the world, so American corporations (the rich white men of Wall Street) can control the economy of the country, at any cost. The United Nation is suppose to be a force for truth, and justice. Shame on you for allowing America government to put economic sanctions on countries, and people they have an economic disagreement. I’m an African American, I tell you America is no democracy, it’s called a democracy, and it’s made to look like one, but it’s not. It's operated like a whore house, it’s one of the most corrupt, and morally bankrupt government on earth. The U.S government at the federal, State, and local level is a place where political favors are bought, and sold everyday, at the expense of poor Americans, and there are millions of poor people in America. They only have excess to less, than 20% of America’s wealth.

Wall Street instructs American courts to give hundreds of thousands African American men, and women long prison sentences for minor, and non-violent criminal offenses. African American men are twice as likely to be sentence to the death penalty, than a white man that committed the same offenses. The more people in American prison the higher the return on Wall Street’s investments in these prisons. The Korean, Vietnam, and the Iraq war was started by the real leaders of America, the rich white men on Wall Street, these are the real rulers of America, not the USA government. Remember the golden rule, the people with the gold makes the rules, and laws. They have more power, than the U.S government

The American government lied about the reasons America attack Korea, Vietnam, and Iraq. Those countries were no threat to America. It don’t matter how many different presidents, and congressmen Americans elect, the rich white men of Wall Street will always control the America government. They contribute (invest) tens of millions of dollars in both political parties, and control congress, the senate, and the office of the president. They receive high rates of returns on their contributions (investments). Wall street own, and control the media in America, TV stations, news paper, and radio, so when they want to attack a country they demonize the leaders of the country, and proclaim them to be a threat to the American people , and the free world. The country they intend to attack were never a threat to American, they want the country's resources. Notice these cowards only attack small countries, with small militaries.

The rich white men of Wall Street own control America’s prison system, that why there’s well over 2,000,000 people in America’s prison systems, and they receive a high rate of return on their investments. They give black men long sentences for minor, none violent criminal offenses. These men are beaten, raped by other prisoners, starved, and tortured. The people that control Wall Street are 20% of the population, but control 80% of the wealth of America, all without running for any political office, and they answer to no one. These men are brutal dictators, and they rule America with an iron fist. That’s why there will always be a place for men like George Bush in America. George Bush was no accident. He was made president by the oil companies (Wall Street). Keep remembering the golden rule.

Wall Street (The Ruling Elite) control America, and they are evil, racist, hypercritical, and self-righteous in every way. They want to control the world. America government has many human rights violations. They force the Native American Indian off fertile lands onto land that can’t grow anything, but weeds. The America government owes the Native Americans hundreds of millions for many broken treaties, and treaty violations. America government owes African American reparations for slavery, and especially for post slavery. During Post slavery African Americans where beaten, torture, and/or killed, almost on a daily bases. The Jim Crowe laws where pasted at the beginning of post slavery against the African American people by the U.S government to prevent African American from competing with white people in business, so the African American would be forced to work for, and stay subservient to white men. African American men today are twice as likely to be turned down for a business loans. We can't get business loans, government contracts, economic bailouts, economic stimulus packages, or government subsidies, like our white counter part, we can only work for white men.

The system was designed, so the money African American made go right back into the pockets of white men, just like it did at the beginning of post slavery, and its still that way. That’s way Martin Luther King, John F. Kennedy, and Bobby Kennedy were assassinated, they wanted to raise Afr8ican American standard of living. The men that were arrested for their murders were fall guys (patsies). These men threaten Wall Street economic base, and that’s low wages labor. Low wage laborers are important to Wall Street’s bottom line. Wall Street is responsible for America compani
