Six major media firms control the lion’s share of the news people see, listen to and read every day! That’s an extra-ordinary level of influence they can exert on the popular mindset and on the political decisions made in the interests of ‘the billionaires club!’

The billionaire giants are redoubling their efforts to control the narrative.

Now thanks to social media organs like twitter, youtube, and facebook, they are slowly stomping out views that counter the interests of the wealthy men in the driver’s seat.

Major papers, television stations and radio stations are quick to uphold the realities of the world around us. And any attempts to correct the record will rather quickly be labelled ‘Conspiracy Theories.’

So now, more than ever, community radio is pivotal as a source of probing and thoughtful insights while the freedom of the internet is disintegrating.

Global Research, and our podcast the Global Research News Hour is of course defying that monolith of global propaganda!

We thank CKUW, the campus-based radio station which hosts the GRNH. CKUW broadcasts at 95.9 MHz on the FM band and is based at the University of Winnipeg in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.

Over the next two weeks, until February 19, GRNH is holding its annual fund-raising drive. GRNH does not run paid advertising, nor does it rely on donations by the University of Winnipeg or the state. It is up to listeners like you to help us meet our budgetary requirements and prosper.

Listeners are encouraged to make this drive a success!

Did The Virus Trigger the 2020 Worldwide Economic Crisis?

By Prof Michel Chossudovsky and Michael Welch, February 08 2021

“You lose your job. Small and medium sized enterprises go bankrupt. Even the whole tourist industry is paralyzed. There’s no air transport. There’s no public transport, in some cases. And then they make us believe that this is required to solve a public health crisis!”

– Professor Michel Chossudovsky, from this week’s interview.
