Support Independent Media: Contribute to Toward Freedom
Toward Freedom is an important source of independent news, which Project Censored constantly reviews. We have found their research, news and analysis both trustworthy and accurate. A financial gift for Toward Freedom is support for media democracy. - Peter Phillips, Director of Project Censored |
The world heaved a collective sign of relief this November. But while the end of the disastrous George W. Bush administration will bring new opportunities for progressive change, a significant shift in foreign policy is only likely to happen if US activists pressure the Barack Obama administration. A key element of any social movement is an independent news source that reports on stories the corporate outlets ignore. Please help us continue our important work, click here to contribute to Toward Freedom today. |

 A decade ago, ordinary Americans would not have tolerated such widespread use of the Taser, a stun gun delivering a 50,000-volt shock. They would not have tolerated the electrocution of unarmed, non-threatening civilians without following the normal "escalation of force" policy. Ironically, American political leaders and the media once cast aspersion on the regimes of Guatemala and Argentina, which used cattle-prods on prisoners. Cattle-prods only deliver 25,000-volt shocks, half that of the Taser.

 Lesbianism in India has traditionally been the great unmentionable – and the treatment meted out to women who love women still leads many couples to opt for suicide pacts, often burning themselves to death. But in the wake of a groundbreaking film, lesbians are asserting themselves more – and seeing some encouraging signs of change. |

 On November 1st, in Montpelier, the capital of Vermont, one hundred activists gathered to protest against General Dynamics, a weapons manufacturer operating in the state. Speaking to the crowd in front of the statehouse, VT-based filmmaker Eugene Jarecki talked about the presidential election and activism. "There’s a moment of real crossroads here," he said. "But it’s a crossroad for all of us not to be happy and go to bed but for all of us to be absolutely unrelenting and dissatisfied until real change happens." |

 There are plans to deploy ‘black boxes’ in UK ISPs’ networking hubs so that the government can capture and record every website that UK citizens visit. A similar operation is in full swing in the United States, where the NSA has hooked up their own ‘black boxes’ to American Internet Service Providers’ (ISPs) networks to capture ‘questionable content’ passing through these networks. Unlike the Americans, who only examine questionable content, the UK government is planning to develop a database to hold the contents of all messages passing along their nations’ telecommunications networks. |
