The ten best writers

on the Internet

 

Always read the stories

these people write

Let me just say that when a writer on the scene of a dangerous story

deliberately leaves his windows open a crack when he goes to sleep at

night so nearby bombs won't break them when they explode — and the

formula works, although the front door, which was closed tight, DOES

blow in! — well, you have a person whose commitment to an important

story that needs to be told sets an example for every writer on the

planet.

 

As an editor, I can truly say that this is what reporting — not to

mention courage and humanity — is all about.

 

Such a person — a writer, reporter, and seeker of truth — is Dahr

Jamail, whose riveting dispatches as an " unembedded " reporter in Iraq

have enabled millions to transcend the mainstream media blackout of

real news from that tragic venue and better understand the horrific

crimes that are being committed by crazy killers in the name of the

American people.

 

Read a quick interview with him at

http://www.newtopiamagazine.net/content/issue19/features/DahrJamail.php

 

See for yourself about what's really happening in Iraq at

http://dahrjamailiraq.com/weblog/

 

Jamail's vivid narratives about widespread war crimes in Iraq can be

seen on numerous other websites, notably uruknet.com (which everyone

should to) and rense.com (which most everybody does already

look at).

 

People repeatedly ask me: since I can't get any real news from TV or

mainstream newspapers, what should I be reading?

 

There are several ways to answer: best websites, best stories, and

best writers. I wrote a best websites story (too long ago, and now out

of date), best stories I'm working on, but best writers is a topic

that has been on my mind for a long time.

 

I've written about a lot of topics, and people have said nice things

about me. But each time they do, I always think about the shoulders of

the giants I stand upon to get my information. Perhaps a more

appropriate title for this should be " My favorite writers " rather than

" The best writers. " In any case, this is just my feeble attempt to

thank them, and introduce them to you in case you haven't had the

chance to experience their indispensable reports on what's really

happening.

 

Think of it as a real chance to transcend the media mindlock that is —

no exaggeration — killing this planet

 

So without further adieu — except to say my criteria are vital topics,

thorough research, the ability to describe and enrapture, and some

awareness of the manipulated lies that all of us are being told —

here's my list of the ten most important writers on the Internet.

 

1. Dahr Jamail

2. Amy Worthington

3. Michel Chossudovsky

4. Webster Tarpley

5. Joe Vialls

6. Dave MacGowan

7. Chris Floyd

8. Mark Morford

9. Christopher Bollyn

10. Xymphora

 

OK, let's expand it to 25.

 

John Pilger, Henry Makow, Kurt Nimmo, Maureen Farrell, Mike Whitney,

Bev Harris, William Blum, Sherman Skolnick, Bob Feldman, Stan Goff,

Michael Collins Piper, Paul Levy, Leuren Moret, Dr. Ron Paul, Kevin

MacDonald.

 

I've left many great writers off this list, some deliberately,

especially those I talk to regularly, so as to avoid any hint of

nepotism or personal favoritism. Though I stopped at 25 names, there

are hundreds it would behoove everyone to read. My apologies to those

unmentioned; you know who you are. Feel free to write me and complain,

and I'll either apologize and agree, or tell you why they're not on

this list.

 

If the goal of decent people everywhere is to gather the information

and take action to try to make this world and honest and just place,

well, these writers will help you travel a considerable distance

toward that goal.

 

In the interest of space, I will list a link for most writers, but

better is to type (or copy and paste) these names into the Google

searchline and choose from among the hundreds of links that will

emerge for each.

 

1. Dahr Jamail. If you want to really know what's going on in Iraq and

want to escape this jaundiced bias that has most Americans in its grip

and unaware that the U.S. continuing mass murder is a certain crime

against everything human and holy — and if you want to see what real

reporting is all about — read Jamail's dispatches (link above). He is

the bravest writer I know, and that is the most important quality.

 

2. Amy Worthington has done more to explain the government's attack on

our atmosphere and our health than perhaps any other person. If one

paragraph can describe a person's entire output, it is this one, from

her masterful overview titled " Aerosol and Electromagnetic Weapons In

The Age Of Nuclear War " :

 

We continually witness bizarre meteorological occurrences as powerful

electromagnetic devices manipulate both the jet stream and individual

storm fronts to create artificial weather and climatic conditions.

Black operations projects embedded within these aerosol missions are

documented to sicken and disorient select populations with biological

test agents and psychotronic mind/mood control technologies.

 

See http://www.rense.com/general59/aerosolandelectromag.htm

 

3. Michel Chossudovsky not only runs one of the best news sites on the

web, the Center for Research on Globalization

<http://www.globalresearch.ca/> but has had the unique talent of

taking the most important questions of our time and distilling them

down to readable, accurate, and mercifully brief explanations of the

phenomena being discussed. From " Washington's New World Order Weapons

Can Trigger Climate Change " to " Who is Osama bin Laden?, " he cuts to

the quick on all manner of topics about which we have been lied to by

mainstream media.

 

4. Webster Tarpley, famous co-author of " George Bush: The Unauthorized

Biography, " brings a formidable grip of history to his comments on

current events. Two of his best recent offerings include " 9/11

Synthetic Terrorism " on the best new 9/11 website

<http://reopen911.org/index.htm> and my own personal favorite, The

Versailles Thesis

<http://www.members.tripod.com/~american_almanac/versaill.htm> which

will tell you as much about the real history of the past two centuries

as you could ever hope to know.

 

5. Controversial Australian journalist Joe Vialls consistently

produces the most jaw-dropping analyses of current events on the web,

from behind-the-scenes analyses of terror bombings (like, who really

did them) to his magnificent overview of the future of the Western

Hemisphere, Fortress America

<http://www.joevialls.co.uk/myahudi/fortress1.html>, which reveals the

Zionists' real plan to move and expand Eretz Israel once the Middle

East has been destroyed in a nuclear Armageddon.

 

6. Dave MacGowan has written the best single overview of 9/11

<http://davesweb.cnchost.com/nwsltr69.html> and his Center for an

Informed America website <http://davesweb.cnchost.com/index.html>

provides indispensable analyses of topics of interest to us all.

 

7. Chris Floyd is a trenchant columnist for the Moscow Times whose

essays are forwarded to others possibly more than anyone else in the

world. He consistently hits the nail of real information right on the

head with comments like this:

 

This column stands foursquare with the Honorable Donald H. Rumsfeld,

U.S. Secretary of Defense, when he warns that there will be more

terrorist attacks against the American people and civilization at

large. We know, as does the Honorable Donald H. Rumsfeld, U.S.

Secretary of Defense, that this statement is an incontrovertible fact,

a matter of scientific certainty. And how can we and the Honorable

Donald H. Rumsfeld, U.S. Secretary of Defense, be so sure that there

will be more terrorist attacks against the American people and

civilization at large? Because these attacks will be instigated at the

order of the Honorable Donald H. Rumsfeld, U.S. Secretary of Defense.

 

8. Mark Morford. The only mainstream media member of this list, this

columnist for the San Francisco Chronicle is easily the funniest

writer on the net, but best of all, cloaked in his razorlike humor is

an understanding of the world that in simply not seen almost anywhere

else in medialand. Consider

 

Right now. This minute. As I type this and as you read this and as

false Texas dictators rise and sad empires crumble and as this mad

bewildered world spins in its frantically careening orbit, there's a

nearly 50/50 chance that some sort of devious synthetic chemical

manufactured by some massive and largely heartless corporation is

coursing through your bloodstream and humping your brain stem and

molesting your karma and kicking the crap out of your libido and

chattering the teeth of your very bones.

 

I like to say I can never get out of the first paragraph of one of his

stories without breaking into a knowing belly laugh. His self-description?

 

He is also a yoga teacher and fiction writer and an outstanding

parallel parker and fervent wine devotee and former smoker and former

LA rock-god wannabe and careful insinuator and occasional unfair

mudslinger and frequent skeptic and sporadic true believer and

paradoxical contrarian and tattooed love-monkey and vehement

non-conservative and casual coffee drinker and ardent dog lover and

medium sleeper and comparison shopper and funky subtle prurient

neo-pagan gleaner of screaming delicious naked nuances.

 

9. Christopher Bollyn is the big gun of American Free Press (one of

the two most honest weekly newspapers in America) who tackles all the

big subjects and never fails to unearth astonishing facts (like the

fires that burned for weeks under the rubble of the collapsed World

Trade Center) with a profound clarity and objectivity expressed in

ways like this:

 

A year into what has become an increasingly grim occupation, a chorus

of senior journalists are now saying what American Free Press has said

all along: the mainstream media " failed the American public " with its

uncritical acceptance of the administration's dubious claims about the

need to invade Iraq.

 

10. If you want just one daily stop to get a very quick fix on what's

going on in the world, that place would be Xymphora Blogspot. Usually

only a few paragraphs each day, it targets one important subject and

provides a unique perspective that never fails to enlighten. Who

Xymphora actually is I have no clue, except that his comments are

among the most frequently passed around on the net.

 

OK, that was a lot of information passed really fast. We'll recap the

rest of the list even faster.

 

• John Pilger is the famous Australian journalist/filmmaker who never

loses sight of the most significant political issue of our times, the

Israeli genocide of the Palestinians. See http://pilger.carlton.com/

 

• Henry Makow is the controversial Canadian Jew who points out that

Zionists harms Jews as much as anyone else, and that the real center

of the worldwide totalitarian tyranny is in London. See

http://www.savethemales.ca/

 

• Kurt Nimmo is an accomplished journalist known for solid reporting

and a savvy blog at http://www.kurtnimmo.com/blog/

 

• Maureen Farrell is an evocative Buzzflash columnist whose pieces are

archived at http://www.buzzflash.com/farrell/archives.html

 

• Mike Whitney is an outstanding Counterpunch columnist whose pieces

can be seen all over the web, like this one.

http://www.aljazeerah.info/Opinion%20editorials/2004%20opinions/March/3%20o/Bush\

%20and%20Kerry%20separated%20at%20birth%20By%20Mike%20Whitney.htm

 

• Bev Harris is the driving force behind Black Box Voting who has done

more to reveal the hoax that American elections have become than any

other single person.

http://www.blackboxvoting.org/investigations.html

 

• William Blum is the premier chronicler of America's unjust invasions

of other countries. http://members.aol.com/bblum6/American_holocaust.htm

 

• Sherman Skolnick is the mindboggling, encyclopedic investigator of

the nasty underbelly of American history. It is safe to say you'll

never be the same after reading Skolnick. http://www.skolnicksreport.com/

 

• Bob Feldman is the principal revealer of the Gatekeeper syndrome,

one of the most important phenomena in understanding what's really

going on with American media.

http://www.questionsquestions.net/feldman/feldman07.html

 

• Stan Goff is an ex-military guy whose view of American politics

shows what happens when soldiers grow up and become human beings.

http://home.igc.org/~sherrynstan/

 

• Michael Collins Piper is the author of the best book on the Kennedy

assassination and perceptive commentator on current events for the

American Free Press.

http://www.serendipity.li/zionism/final_jgmt_reviews.htm

 

• Paul Levy is an uncommon spiritual analyst among whose essay titles

is " Christ Would Not Support Bush. "

http://www.awakeninthedream.com/html/index.html

 

• Leuren Moret is the world's foremost chronicler of America's tragic

involvement with depleted uranium weapons.

http://www.sfbayview.com/081804/Depleteduranium081804.shtml

 

• Dr. Ron Paul is one of only a handful of conscientious members of

Congress who pronouncements sustain the fleeting hope that one day we

will have an honest government. http://www.house.gov/paul/tst/welcome.htm

 

• Kevin MacDonald is a California professor whose works on Judaism

from an Evolutionary Perspective furnish penetrating insights into

contemporary politics. http://www.csulb.edu/~kmacd/books.html

 

Whew. That's a lot of information, particularly if you spend any time

in the links.

 

Two traits characterize everyone on this list. First is a willingness

to look behind the veneer of media-described events to investigate

subjects of primary importance to our continued survival. Second is

not to be cowed into conformity by the inducements of lying for money

which afflicts so many of our so-called journalists.

 

If our popular media were dominated by personalities like these, the

world would certainly not in the trouble that it is now, where

civilization has been captured by a small group of rich people who

manipulate our reality and plunder our resources for their own

selfish, greedy, and evil purposes.

 

I give you this list as a gift of hope, to show you that it is

possible that honest people CAN rule the world, if the rest of us

would only listen to the descriptions by these wonderful writers, and

try to be as honest as they are.
