 The
recent disclosure of a top-secret government program that
describes the Internet as an "enemy
weapons system" and proposes a plan to "fight
the net" should come as no surprise to regular readers
of Antiwar.com.
Hey, they're
talking about us!
As the
"mainstream" media fed us a steady diet of lies
cooked up by our government and its
journalistic amen corner, Antiwar.com told the truth about
Iraq – we said there were no
"weapons of mass destruction," no
"links" to al-Qaeda or 9/11, and no
real prospects of implanting "democracy" by force
of arms.
No wonder
they want to "fight the net"!
Of course,
we weren't alone in pointing out these discrepancies between
fact and reality, but it's no accident that a lot of the criticism
that later turned out to be right originated in cyberspace.
Independent journalism flourishes in the atmosphere of freedom
that the Internet makes possible. Our job at Antiwar.com is
to gather the best of this new generation of muckraking reporters,
in the most comprehensive collection of foreign policy-related
links and original articles you'll find anywhere.
And we
do it every day, 24/7, constantly updating our coverage and
working to give you the most up-to-date – and incisive – news
and commentary from an antiwar point of view.
But we
can't do it without you. We depend on our readers to keep
us going. We don't have any big corporate sponsors or major
foundations paying our bills: all that stands between us and
oblivion is your 100%
tax-deductible donation.
Make
it harder for the War Party to "fight the net" –
contribute today.
