It's hard to know what's really happening in the world outside your own personal experience. The headlines tell one story: "Horrific atrocities in Syria!" "Nukes in Iran!" "The new Russian threat!" But your instincts tell another.

What to believe? Whom to believe?

Since 1995, we've been bringing our readers the facts about American foreign policy and its consequences, both foreign and domestic. We shine a skeptical light on the war propaganda you are subjected to day after day – and we keep on shining it until we get at the truth. We exposed the fraud behind Iraq's "weapons of mass destruction," we fingered Scooter Libby before anyone else did, and we are now busy exposing the lies behind the bipartisan drive to destroy Iran.

But we can't continue our work without your financial support. Every dollar goes to fight the War Party's crazy agenda of perpetual conflict and global hegemony. Faced with necessary cutbacks, we've been fighting an uphill battle against a well-funded opponent. We need your tax-deductible contribution now more than ever before. Please give as much as you can as soon as you can.
