Okay, I know this post is a radical departure from what I normally write about, but I found the subject so disturbing that I couldn't not write about it.
It all started the other day, when a friend of mine posted a link to this photo on Facebook:
(The link to the photo can be found here.)
I TRIED to do some research, given my dodgy island connection...
This should be me but I'm really too lazy to get out of bed.
What's interesting is that the first page of Google's search results didn't turn up anything written on Amber Lyon in the mainstream media. Nothing from the New York Times or the Huffington Post or the BBC. This is a woman making very serious allegations against one of the largest news networks in the world and there's nothing about it in the news.
The search results did lead me to an interview Lyon did with Joe Rogan last October 4. Please click here for the link. It is almost three hours long and you do have to bear with Rogan touting T-shirts and fitness equipment and, worse, editorializing, and Lyon does say "systematic" quite systematically but do listen to it so that, at the very least, you can form your own opinion about what you think you know.
The actual interview begins from around 4:00 and the meat of it happens before 39:41. Then you can skip to 46:58 and there are some interesting bits from there to 1:15:14, and then 1:31:51 to 1:38:05 and maybe 2:42:17 to 2:48:11, but really if you stop any time after 39:41, it's okay.
This interview with Lyon led me to another name, that of former White House political adviser, Gwyneth Todd, another name that won't turn up anything written by the mainstream media in Google's search results. This is a women who, in 2007, thwarted a plan by a Naval official to create a false flag event that could have led to the U.S. declaring war on Iran, yet her name remains unreported in the press.
We, Filipinos, know something about false flag events, don't we? In 1972, then Defense Minister (now, Senate President), Juan Ponce Enrile staged a fake assassination attempt on his life that then President, Ferdinand Marcos, used to justify the declaration of Martial Law.
On the trail of Gwyneth Todd, I followed this link to a blog called "Infinite Unknown" which, in turn, contained a link to a very detailed account of the Todd affair in the Washington Post. I'm now on the ninth page of my Google search results for Todd (- it's starting to show me links to Gwyneth Paltrow), and the Post article still hasn't turned up. The third page did lead me to something in the Sydney Morning Herald and, the fourth, to an article in the Guardian, but both do not make mention of her allegations on the false flag event. This leads credence to Infinite Unknown's assertion that the Post article has been "scrubbed" from search engines.
Lyon and Todd have leveled some very serious accusations against their former employers, CNN and the government of the United States of America, respectively. There are huge stories in there that should have been picked up by the media and investigated, and presented to the public for scrutiny. Apart from Joseph Stein of the Washington Post, whose article can no longer be found in search engine results, no one else has bothered to report the stories and find out if the allegations are true or false.
Has the term "independent media" always been oxymoron? Have entire news networks now become "special advertising sections"? If everyone and everything has a price, I wonder how high a price the Truth must command to be silenced or distorted. So far, the silence is deafening, but it speaks volumes.
