PR Firms = Propaganda The tip of th e iceberg that we call the American media. It's not what it once was (if it EVER was, to begin with)... John Stauber is a left-wing American writer and political activist who co-authored five books about propaganda by governments, private interests and the PR industry. They include one book about industry manipulating science, Trust Us, We're Experts, one about the history and current scope of the public relations industry (Toxic Sludge is Good for You), and one about mad cow disease (Mad Cow USA), which predicted the surfacing of the disease within the United States. In July 2003 he and Sheldon Rampton wrote Weapons of Mass Deception: The Uses of Propaganda in Bush's War on Iraq, that argued that the Bush administration deceived the US into supporting the war. In 2004, the two wrote Banana Republicans, which argued that the Republican Party is turning the U.S. into a one-party state. The book argues that the far-right and its functionaries in the media, lobbying establishment and electoral system are undermining dissent and squelching pluralistic politics in the United States. Stauber is the founder and executive director of the The Center for Media & Democracy, which sponsors PR Watch and SourceWatch. Since the 1960s, he has worked with public interest, consumer, family farm, environmental and community organizations at the local, state and national level. He edits and writes for the Center's quarterly newsmagazine, PR Watch. Tags: media propaganda public relations |

Dollar Collapse - Firms Which Underpin Trillions In Home Loans Implode - Bailout Equals Dollar Destruction Peter Schiff sees socialization of United States bubble economy will sink the Federal Reserve Note. US mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are facing growing pressure as fears intensify about a potential calamity at the firms, which underpin trillions of dollars in home loans. Together they own or guarantee some US$5.2 trillion in loans, or about 40 per cent of the total value of home loans in the United States. Peter Schiff at Euro Pacific Capital said the two giants were likely to need government bailouts in view of the "dubious quality of their mortgage portfolios". "Together both firms have less than US$90 billion in capital reserves to ensure losses on more than US$5 trillion in mortgage debt ... Clearly, Fannie and Freddie would have no ability to survive without a government bailout. This means that taxpayers will be on the hook for hundreds of billions of losses, perhaps even more than one trillion." Tags: Dollar Collapse Peter Schiff Freddie Mae Fannie Mac Bailout |
