Consider Making a Donation to Global Research

While “Truth” is a powerful instrument, “the Lie” is generously funded by the lobby groups and corporate charities. And that is why we need the support of our readers.

When the Lie becomes the Truth, there is no turning backwards. 

Support Global Research.

Today, more than ever before, war depends on deception. To oppose war without seeing through the deceptions currently being practiced by governments and the mainstream media is to act in vain. Global Research bravely takes on this task, challenges these myths and deceptions. And that is why it is a vital resource for us all. This is why I have made its website my homepage and why I have taken out a membership. I hope you will do the same. – Prof. Graeme MacQueen
