That’s a tough question. I made over 7,000 posts in the last 15 months, most of them articles that the mainstream media purposely avoid reporting on. When originally answering this question all of the articles I posted were about the increasing threat of America becoming a police state (if it isn’t already). So I decided to just create a link to my ‘police state’ tag (above) and recreate the list. This is what I came up with:
1. The series of drone strikes by the Obama administration in Pakistan, Yemen, Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia, etc.
2. The LIBOR scandal.
3. The uprising in Bahrain and Obama’s role in arming the monarch against pro-democracy protesters.
4. The internet censorship campaign by the government called “Operation in Our Sites” which has resulted in at least 750 domains being seized.
5. Obama’s ‘kill list’ which includes American citizens.
6. HSBC’s laundering of money to Mexican drug cartels and being slapped on the wrist by the U.S. government.
7. Wireless wiretapping by the Obama administration with impunity.
8. America arming 15,000-17,000 African troops to fight a proxy war in Somalia.
9. The state repression against anarchists in the Pacific Northwest, which has been proven to be a ‘witch hunt’ (read second last paragraph).
10. The internal documents released by the government which revealed that the banks and U.S government worked together to repress the Occupy Movement before it even started.
