For years, the US has had a military base in Saudi Arabia: the Washington Post, the New York Times, and AP all knew about it – but kept it secret on behalf of the US government.

What else are they hiding?

For 17 years, we've been exposing the hidden truth about US foreign policy, giving you the real news – and the kind of commentary the "mainstream" abjures. But we can't do it without your help.

By putting this little blurb up here we're hoping enough readers will respond so we can avoid devoting most of our front page to the fundraising drive – because there's just too much going on.

You can't trust the "mainstream" media – so who can you trust? You're looking at the answer to that question. Help us keep independent journalism alive: make your tax-deductible donation today.
