Rhetoric
coming out of Washington is constantly using and abusing the term
“democracy” as a concept to be defended and cheered. But what we see in
the US is a far-cry from any real and accountable system of democracy.
In
fact, the United States of America couldn’t be farther from being “the
land of milk and honey” as it once proclaimed itself to be; its promise
of wealth and stability, the oft-referenced yet seldom seen “American
dream”, is undeniably buried in the realm of wishful thinking for the
majority of people, that is.
Elections give the illusion of choice while maintaining a status quo that sees the rich get richer and the poor scrambling to redefine their definitions of “rock bottom”. (See Andy Kroll, “Billionaires Unchained: America is a Democracy of the Wealthy“).
The good news is, the majority can no longer afford (quite literally) to stay complacent in the face of rampant financial exploitation by a ruling minority that knows no bounds to its powerlust.
Global
Research doesn’t shy away from exposing corporate exploitation and
media manipulation; we confront it head on through in-depth and
independent coverage of global events.
To
maintain our complete independence, Global Research does not accept
government or corporate funding. It may seem obvious, but how can any
organization or individual have the freedom to speak the truth if they
are funded by the very agencies actively engaged in the dissemination of
disinformation? Our independence matters to us and we know it matters
to you, our readers.
Our
readers are helping the beacon of truth shine brighter by passing on
the information, engaging in research and dialogue, and achieving real
and sustainable empowerment.
Therefore, we ask you to come together and show your support by making a donation and/or starting a membership

reaches as many people as possible. Please help us in the fight against
mainstream media lies, we cannot do it without your support.
