Donate to the Cooperative Research Project NOW
I dont usually get political on this blog since its meant more as a forum for tutelage on various front-end issues, but this is a special occasion. A very generous user has pledged to match donations up to $10,000 at http://www.cooperativeresearch.org and they have less than 24 hours left to get the remaining $894 they need.
For those of you unfamiliar with this work, its a website that grew out of an investigative journalism project started by Paul Thompson after the 9-11 World Trade Center attacks. Its original focus was very clear: put together a timeline of events leading up to the attacks to sort of "follow the money". The result was a disturbing pattern of oil money, neoconservatives, defense contractors, and CIA/Pentagon involvement that leads up to the highest ranks of US government for the last 20 years. It is the story that the mainstream press in the US won't touch because they are afraid. This isn't some crackpot conspiracy website; these are actual journalists collaborating online and in plain view on a very important project to bring truth to the brainwashed American public.
Now that the Democrats have siezed control of Congress in the wake of the public's dissatisfaction with what is happening in Iraq, some of the connections compiled in this work have a chance of seeing daylight. In other words, America is finally starting to get its head out of its ass about all this stuff.
In the years since 9-11, the timeline has blossomed into a full-blown wiki-style collaborative website that supports grassroots investigative journalism. Some of their other projects include investigations on Hurrican Katrina, the decision to invade Iraq, prisoner abuse scandals in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the confrontation with Iran. This website is meant as a civic oversight and now that Congress is set to begin investigating these things, they are trying to get their ducks in a row. So please check out the site and donate today.
I realize alot of my readers are international visitors, but you can donate, too. The unfortunate fact of life right now is that the detrimental policies of the US government effect each and every one of us on this planet -- socially and probably more importantly at this point, environmentally. So please consider donating to this cause at this critical juncture. Link
