TVNL Editor's Comments: How many decades have passed without a real effort to prepare for a world in which the demand for oil exceeds the supply? There is no greater example of a reason to deny people involved in the energy industry from any political position that influences energy policy. The same logic should be applied to virtually all similar conflicts of interest, most importantly when it comes to life and death related industries such as war and medicine. Business and politics should never mix; today they are virtually indistinguishable. Think about it! – Jesse, Editor, TvNewsLIES.org

9/11 News : http://www.tvnewslies.org/news/#911

· Four in 9/11 Plot Are Called Tied to Qaeda in '00 - More than a year before the Sept. 11 attacks, a small, highly classified military intelligence unit identified Mohammed Atta and three other future hijackers as likely members of a cell of Al Qaeda operating in the United States, according to a former defense intelligence official and a Republican member of Congress.
TVNL Comment: You HAVE to ask yourself why this news is coming out now, so long after the events and so long after the official report being issued. One reason MAY be is that it helps to make the official story appear more credible in that it supports the theory that 19 hijackers were responsible for the events. This news is being made public at a time where a great deal of information that puts the official conspiracy theory into doubt is gaining public attention. Why was this news not made public earlier? Is it because it would make the administration look incompetent or make it look as if the administration ignored even more warnings than previously thought? This is very suspicious!

EDITORIAL : http://www.tvnewslies.org/news/#editorial

· The Failed “War on Terror” - U.S. government officials, both politicians and career bureaucrats, always imply that a tradeoff exists between security and liberty and that we cannot have both. This view, however, depends on buying into key erroneous assumptions made by those same officials.

· Why Iran will lead to World War 3 - That, of course, is exactly what the US and Israel would prefer since they have no intention of complying with international standards or treaties and are entirely committed to a military confrontation with Iran. It now looks as though they may have the pretext for carrying out such an attack.

· The Atomic Bomb and the End of World War II: A Collection of Primary Sources - With the material that follows, the National Security Archive publishes the most comprehensive on-line collection to date of declassified U.S. government documents on the atomic bomb and the end of the war in the Pacific.

JOURNALISM & MEDIA : http://www.tvnewslies.org/news/#media

All indications suggest that the clock is ticking toward some kind of showdown between criminal hackers and the good guys. Unfortunately, the bad guys have a head start.

· MAINSTREAM MEDIA PLAYS SECOND FIDDLE - Some of the most important websites on the internet today are the independent news websites, those who have no corporate interests and no party line to toe.
