Recommended Readings (2016/03/11)

Welcome to this weeks recommended readings. There will be more on the possible Brexit and the European Union in general. Last week, Ne News Radio spoke about the Nazi roots of the European Union (it was in the recommended readings for pilot week) as well as US foreign policy and how the people of the world are fighting back against the American Empire, and in particular their military bases and how the so-called "War on Terror" is actually being used to bring the world under the control of the United States and their corporations (http://www.globalresearch.ca/the-worldwide-network-of-us-military-bases/5564). We will also look at changes to the media laws in Australia and how it is good news...for the likes of Rupert Murdoch (https://independentaustralia.net/business/business-display/what-changes-to-australias-media-ownership-laws-are-being-proposed,8734).

Trojan Horses and Color Revolutions: The Role of the National Endowment for Democracy (NED)

William Blum William Blum 7 August 2017 Image: Award winning author William Blum This article is a chapter from Rogue State: A Guide to the World’s Only Superpower by William Blum published in 2005. How many Americans could identify the National Endowment for Democracy? An organization which often does exactly the opposite of what its name implies. The NED was set up in the early 1980s under President Reagan in the wake of all the negative revelations about the CIA in the second half of the 1970s. The latter was a remarkable period. Spurred by Watergate – the Church committee of the Senate, the Pike committee of the House, and the Rockefeller Commission, created by the president, were all busy investigating the CIA. Seemingly every other day there was a new headline about the discovery of some awful thing, even criminal conduct, the CIA had been mixed up in for years. The Agency was getting an exceedingly bad name, and it was causing the powers-th...

CIA Backed Color Revolutions

F. William Engdahl New Eastern Outlook 1 October 2017 Many readers likely never heard the name of the remarkable Serbia-born political operator named Srđa Popović . Yet he and his organization, CANVAS, have played a lead role in most every CIA-backed Color Revolution since he led the toppling of Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic in 2000, at least fifty according to last count. Now he has turned his sights on Hungary and Hungary’s popular and defiant Prime Minister Victor Orban .

It‘s clear that Popović was not in town to promote his Hungarian book on nonviolent regime change but rather to give aid to the anti-Orban parties before Hungarian elections in spring of 2018. Many in Hungary smell the oily hand of Hungarian-born regime-change financier George Soros behind the Popović appe...

EDITORIAL: Privatisation: The Root of Fascism And Theft

Ne News 26 February 2017 Around the world, governments are privatising public services, ranging from power to water, from telecommunications to transport, and from roads to banks. Some so-called 'libertarians' and some in the alternative media are openly calling for mass privatisation, claiming that private enterprises can run everything more efficiently than governments and to save money. But what should be noted is that privatisation is nothing short of theft, with governments conspiring with private multinationals to steal from taxpayers assets that taxpayers own. This has happened in Australia with the selling off of QANTAS, Commonwealth Bank, Telstra and most recently Medibank Private. The far-right wing thinktank the Institute of Public Affairs is calling for more privatisation, including the ABC, SBS (the two public broadcasters in Australia), Australia Post and the Australian Institute of Sport among others (https://ipa.org.au/publications/2080/be-like-gough-75-r...
