In one of the most shocking articles that the New York Times has ever put out, a New York Times reporter has openly admitted that virtually every major mainstream news organization allows government bureaucrats and campaign officials to censor their stories. For example, almost every major news organization in the country has agreed to submit virtually all quotes from anyone involved in the Obama campaign or the Romney campaign to gatekeepers for "quote approval" before they will be published. If the gatekeeper in the Obama campaign does not want a certain quote to get out, the American people will not see it, and the same thing applies to the Romney campaign. The goal is to keep the campaigns as "on message" as possible and to avoid gaffes at all cost. But this kind of thing is not just happening with political campaigns.

For two months thousands of Spain’s coal miners have been on strike. They are fighting to stop the Spanish government’s plans to cut mining subsidies by 64 per cent, putting 30,000 jobs at risk.

They’ve taken their protest directly to the conservative government in Madrid and have been subjected to brutal police repression, fighting back with home-made rockets and dynamite.

Michael Lombardi, lead contributor to Profit Confidential, asserts that following the London InterBank Offered Rate (LIBOR) scandal, proves there is corruption by the big banks. Lombardi thinks that if big banks and central banks are manipulating interest rates and mortgage rates (and thus the stock market), then they are certainly keeping a close watch on the one currency that trades opposite of all fiat currencies—gold.

“The next scandal, I believe, will be about gold bullion being manipulated,” says Lombardi.

Relatives and supporters voiced new allegations that Paya was killed in a car crash caused by another vehicle, but a Madrid newspaper reported the Spaniard at the wheel of the car carrying the dissident told police the accident was his fault.

Is your work a ‘mission from God?’ Surprising polls


The Blues Brothers felt they were 'on a mission from God' in their work. So do a surprising number of other people.

The Blues Brothers, who created a lot of destruction and good music in their attempt to save a nunnery, aren’t the only ones who have seen their work as a “mission from God.” So do more than half of religious Americans, according to useful studies cited in the Scientific Study of Religion.

It’s a good question for all of us, whether explicitly religious or secular-but-spiritual. Do we think we are serving a larger purpose in our salaried work or profession?

"Markets are so rigged by policymakers that I have no meaningful insights to offer."

That's what Nomura International's Investment Strategist, Bob Janjuah, griped five months ago. Since then, policymakers have stepped up their market-rigging, while new revelations of past market-rigging have also come to light.

It's starting to feel like the financial markets are all rigging and no ship.

HARRISBURG, Penn. (Reuters) - Hundreds of demonstrators protested Pennsylvania's controversial new voter identification law on Tuesday, calling it unnecessary and discriminatory.

The law faces a challenge beginning on Wednesday in state court by civil rights groups. The U.S. Justice Department said on Monday it was investigating whether the law discriminates against minorities.
