    My main thrust for six years now has been trying to get the money out of UK politics. I am always amazed at the stubbornness with which people oppose the idea…but this is exactly what the Establishment wants. The idea of US paying politicians (rather than banks, media, multinationals and shady billionaires) seems to repel people. They just don’t get that it is the only way to return the system to the People.

    I think I would probably nominate this piece as a Global Top Ten blogpost of 2014. Information is dead, truth is relative, spin is universal, and evidence is either doctored or missing. In Arabia there is a now a ‘news cinema’ genre that works 24/7 faking atrocities. A similar form exists in Ukraine, Russia, and Spain. Here in France I cannot write the truth about banks (as Mish already discovered to his chagrin), in Greece I cannot publish details of demonstrations, in the UK we are about to criminalise non-criminality with the new ‘non-violent extremism’ law – pure Orwellian drivel – and across the border in Spain, one cannot blog to contradict official economic figures.
    Yet alongside this blatantly fascist censorship, the aim of most ‘news’ output is to misinform…and if that fails, to obfuscate. The two outstanding examples for me this year were the MH17 (where in truth, zero responsibility attaches to Putin) and the oil price manipulation – a tableau in which everyone tried to shoot every competitor in the head, and wound up shooting themselves in the foot.
    My apologies for taking so long to find this site: it is outstanding…and the photography chosen suggests a great eye. Good luck.
