A Real Scandal the Mainstream Media Won’t Touch
By Anthony Gregory • Wednesday September 30, 2009 10:19 AM PDT • 3 Comments
Sibel Edmonds, U.S. translator-turned gagged whistleblower, describes in her interview by Philip Giraldi in The American Conservative about one of the greatest scandals of our time, involving serious breaches of national security and foreign lobbyists blackmailing members of Congress. Stories like this are usually buried, however, as more superficial scandals always seem more sexy and easily analyzed in partisan sound bytes.

If anyone was under the delusion that we have an independent media that acts as a watchdog against government corruption, the total silence over Sibel’s revelations should suffice as a cure.
How could anyone remotely familiar with the allegations not realize that the “news” the public gets is controlled and censored? Today’s “journalists” should be ashamed of their profession.

The reason why Ms Edmonds’ information is being ignored by the corporate media is simple: covering her story would expose the Achilles heel of the War Party: the 9-11 coverup.

Sure is nice to know that all the corruption of any magnitude all seems to have its roots in the hierarchy of politics/politicians. It is just too bad that the journalists, or the majority of them, in media today are without a clue of how to even begin investigating any story that falls into their laps. Or are just bought off with another bribe. What a great group of human beings these people are. Those of us here in the society of normal and regular people who live life by the golden rule can only hope the death we all succumbe to will hold something proportionate to our goods or bads while alive. All I can say is these people doing these bad things make me sick. btw—Ms. Edmonds, you are quite fetching.
