12. DU helps preserve the record...

Unlike Corporate McPravda, which still sings the praises of the Gippet, the late Alexander Cockburn and Lou Cannon went on the record to show the Ronald Reagan was not in possession of his critical faculties when "acting" as president. The news made barely a ripple in the corporate owned press, like the 500,000 dead Iraqi kids from US sanctions, showing the truth is secondary to sticking to the "right" story line.

Recognized for his work unmasking "The Splendid Blond Beast" -- the NAZI influence on US intelligence and politics -- Christopher Simpson's important work ran in Covert Action Information Bulletin, a magazine started by turned-CIA man Philip Agee and a few intellectuals who weren't buying the company line. CAIB turned into Covert Action Quarterly and from there descended into chaos, caused by overwork, internal strife and the hypocrisies made plain by a shortage of cash flow.

Seeing how so much of our nation's history has been relegated top secret, goes a long way of explaining how the crooks and traitors have managed to get off the hook time and again.
