Independant Journalism Provides Precise and Truthful Information; Free Media is a Mandatory Institution of a Free Society. Elite Rulers Twist Headlines to Control You.

---

Independant journalism is essential to a free society because it provides citizens with true and factual information which isn’t presented by mainstream media.

The mainstream media is wholly owned by the criminal elite bankers, intent on distraction.

People need to have accurate information if they’re going to hold the government accountable for its actions.

Unfortunately independent journalists are very often in danger for their lives because they expose truths that some people don’t want revealed to the public.

However, despite the danger, independant journalism is necessary for the United States to function as a free democratic country.

As reported in October of 2006, many journalists who report on government corruption and human rights issues in other countries, are arrested or killed as punishment and as an example to other journalists of what can happen to them.

For instance, on July 9, 2004, American independent journalist Paul Klebnikov was murdered in Moscow.

It is believed that his murder was related to his interest in learning more about the misappropriation of Russian funds that were supposed to be used to rebuild the Republic of Chechnya.

One common strength that many independent journalists share is their driving determination to find the truth and share it with the world.

NOTE, INDEPENDENT IS A WORD COMMONLY MIS-SPELLED BY PEOPLE SEARCHING ON THE INTERNET.

Protection for Independent Journalists

Laws for protecting independant journalism are being stricken from the books, so that, what once were occurrences only on foreign soil when a journalist went against the party line, are now real possibilities in the U.S. due to actions like the 2001 Partriot Act.

Journalists who would uncover fraud or criminal ties to government leaders are now in danger of finding themselves in prison or worse, as the ÒtraitorÓ label has been polished for ready use by the Bush Administration for all future presidents to use.

Journalism for the Masses?

Problems for independent journalists exist within the United States as much as they do across borders, though the issues are different.

In this country mainstream journalists, whether aware of it directly or not, are working for the elite banking cabal, the men who pull the puppet strings in Washington and who own the Federal Reserve Bank.

This watered down version of the news has become standard fare in America, where Big Business advertisers, many in league with the global elite and pressing for a New World Order, threaten to pull advertising dollars it the news gets too close to home.

Having grown accustomed to white-washed news, many Americans are offended by news and information that makes them think too much or brings issues to the surface that they would rather not know about.

The Internet, for those Americans who want to get to the truth of what is happening in this country and around the world, is a very powerful tool.

Independant journalism has found a place on the Internet where journalists are at liberty to report about those hard-core issues that they are passionate about.

Independant journalism plays an important role in providing us with independent information so we can think for ourselves.

Without this source, the United States turns into an oligarchy where the news is filtered so that we see and hear only what the global bankers want us to.

Independent journalists keep not only the United States government but also all Americans accountable for what happens in this country.

They provide us with documented and verified information that shows all sides of the news and not just the slanted view the elite owned media flashes across the screen.

Democracy and Journalism

Independent journalists depend on democracy to allow them to do their job, just as democracy depends on journalists to provide truthful and relevant information.

This was said best by Alexis de Tocqueville (1805-1859), a French political historian, when he visited the United States over 200 years ago: “You can’t have real newspapers without democracy, and you can’t have democracy without newspapers”.

Journalists have taken on the role of being watchdogs in many democratic countries around the world, keeping an eye on what the government is doing.

Essentially, journalism gives a voice to people who don’t know how to speak for themselves.

Many human rights abuse cases that normally would have been covered up by government organizations, are exposed by independent journalists who feel the importance of upholding the rights and freedoms of all people.

The Committee of Concerned Journalists (CCJ) has a statement of purpose that accurately describes free and unrestricted journalism is all about: “The central purpose of journalism is to provide citizens with accurate and reliable information they need to function in a free society”.
