I Really Need You To Get Behind ICH
So far this month 115 readers have acted to support ICH. (Thank you)
We need 215 more people to click the link below and help us cover operating expenses
The last 3 fundraisers have fallen short of meeting our minimum expenses. Our prudent reserve is exhausted and our plans to add new features and update the website are on hold.
Our readership had a huge increase (40% more website visitors) last month, and our daily newsletter goes out to over 70,000 people around the world, each day.
The website itself has over 28,000 articles and hundreds of video, images and audio files spread out over 3 servers, all of which together with editorial, wages and general expenses depend on you the reader to fund this low budget, independent news service.
To whom will you entrust your liberty? Who will you rely on to tell you the hard facts? Who will you trust to collect and deliver vital information to your email inbox?
Information Clearing House has been described by John Pilger as having a "wonderfully free rebellious spirit" If you agree with John act now click the link http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/support.htm .

"We've lived so long under the spell of hierarchy-from god-kings to feudal lords to party bosses-that only recently have we awakened to see not only that "regular" citizens have the capacity for self-governance, but that without their engagement our huge global crises cannot be addressed.
The changes needed for human society simply to survive, let alone thrive, are so profound that the only way we will move toward them is if we ourselves, regular citizens, feel meaningful ownership of solutions through direct engagement. Our problems are too big, interrelated, and pervasive to yield to directives from on high." - Frances Moore Lappé, Time for Progressives to Grow Up

Imperialism: Bankers, Drug Wars and Genocide
By James Petras
While the Pentagon arms the Mexican government and the US Drug Enforcement Agency enforces the "military solution", the biggest US banks receive, launder and transfer hundreds of billions of dollars to the drug lords' accounts, who then buy modern arms, pay private armies of assassins and corrupt untold numbers of political and law enforcement officials on both sides of the border. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article28138.htm

Escaping the Matrix
Are you ready for the red pill?
By Richard K. Moore
The defining dramatic moment in the film The Matrix occurs just after Morpheus invites Neo to choose between a red pill and a blue pill. The red pill promises "the truth, nothing more." Neo takes the red pill and awakes to reality--something utterly different from anything Neo, or the audience, could have expected. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article28139.htm
