You Are Being Lied To is a massive collection of articles that ruthlessly destroy the distortions, myths, and outright lies that are fed to us by the government, the media, corporations, history books, organized religion, science and medicine, and society in general. No one is spared, and all sacred cows are candidates for the grinder.
Do you believe any of the following?
- Alcoholics Anonymous is effective.
- Hackers pose a grave threat to the nation.
- There's a hidden code in the Bible.
- The Big Bang is an airtight fact.
- Thousands of species have gone extinct because of deforestation.
- Licking certain toads will get you high.
- Most terrorists are Middle Eastern.
Wake up! You're being lied to.
This book acts as a battering ram against the distortions, myths, and outright lies that have been shoved down our throats by the government, the media, corporations, organized religion, the scientific establishment, and others who want to keep the truth from us. An unprecedented group of researchers--investigative reporters, political dissidents, academics, media watchdogs, scientist-philosophers, social critics, and rogue scholars--paints a picture of a world where crucial stories are ignored or actively suppressed and the official version of events has more holes in it than Swiss cheese. A world where real dangers are downplayed and nonexistent dangers are trumpeted. In short, a world where you are being lied to.

Sandwich shop just a few blocks from the school. American people to fight back against the supreme injustice of twentyfirst century Western society. Which is, of course, precisely the point. For a fractured and disillusioned people, unable to find a common cause, do not represent a threat to the rapidly encroaching system of global fascism. And a population blinded by fear will ultimately turn to “Big Brother” to protect them from nonexistent and/or wholly manufactured threats. As General.
Company they own jointly with Associated Press and United Press International. That company is called News Election Service (NES). Its address is 212 Cortland Street, New York City. Its phone number is (212) 693- vately-held NES counts the votes. I called NES’s executive director, Robert Flaherty, and asked him whether his company was run for profit. He wouldn’t answer. His only response was, “I don’t think that’s part of your story.”’ The company was conceived in 1964, in part as a cost-saving.
Acted alone and that any idea to the contrary is simply “conspiracy theory.” Other evidence indicated that more than one gunman was involved in the RFK shooting. Sirhan carried an eight-shot revolver. Two slugs were recovered from Kennedy’s body, and another five from other victims. An eighth slug passed through ceiling panels. Two additional shots were found in the kitchen’s door frame and were actually identified as bullet holes in official LAPD and FBI photos. But LAPD officials, after some.
Of Sexuality (SSSS), April 24, 1999. SSSS is the principal organization of professional sex educators, counselors, and ther apists in the US. Other panel members were photographer Jock Sturges (Radiant Identities; The Last Day of Summer) and author Judith Levine (My Enemy, My Love: Women, Men, and the Dilemmas of Gender; Harmful to Minors: How Sexual Protectionism Hurts Children, upcoming from the University of Minnesota Press ). I want to use my portion of this panel to examine some current.
Despise such attitudes, it’s because I do. An appalling number of the acts the press (and the publicists who fawn over journalistic dictates) dislikes have tremendous validity. I always felt it was my job to do for erring writers what Edmund Wilson, the literary critic, had done for me. When I was a teenager, I couldn’t make head nor tails of T.S. Eliot. His poetry utterly baffled me. So I came to the conclusion that Eliot’s work was an elaborate hoax, a pastiche of devices designed to fool the.
