Steeds meer journalisten zijn de leugens beu

ben swamVolgens Journalist, en winnaar van twee Emmy Awards, Ben Swann, valt de reguliere media door leugens steeds meer uiteen. Steeds meer journalisten zijn de propaganda beu, willen eerlijke antwoorden, en zijn bereid om taboes te doorbreken. De mainstream media is niet meer geloofwaardig. Waar zijn bijvoorbeeld de bewijzen over de beweringen die ons dagelijks worden voorgeschoteld (denk aan Syrie)?  Met onderwerpen als Bilderberg, wapenbezit, Monsato en de nieuw media. Journalistiek is voor en door de mensen en het goede nieuws is ook dat de vakmensen dit gaan inzien.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ben Swann Bio

 

Bio:

I have spent 14 years working as a journalist in broadcast news.  I won’t bore you with all the details but suffice to say I began my career as a news photographer and moved up the ladder to reporter, morning anchor/reporter, prime time anchor/reporter.  Along the way I won two Emmy Awards and two Edward R. Murrow awards.  For a number of years I covered Mexico’s drug war.  At that time, I realized that national media was not interested in the truth of what was happening in Mexico or the problems associated with the failed “war on drugs” in the United States.

In 2010, I moved north to Cincinnati, Ohio to take a prime time anchor job with WXIX and there I became the producer/writer/anchor of a segment called “Reality Check”.  It was while covering the 2012 Republican Presidential primary that I began to confront the problems in the American electoral process, the stranglehold of America’s two party system and the suppression of voters’ choices by mainstream media.

In 2012, I became the first journalist in the nation to confront President Barack Obama directly in an interview about the Constitutionality of his “kill list” and the only journalist to confront Mitt Romney about the railroading of duly elected delegates during the 2012 Republican National Convention.

Thanks to a passionate following, my work has become an internet phenomenon with over 10 million video views in over 140 countries.

Why BenSwann.com? 1. Our culture is truth deficient. The historical centers of truth have broken down. 2. The average U.S. citizen has lost their voice to the affluent with money and power. 3. Voters are disenfranchised from the party system. The rise of “independents” has simply defined what people are not, but has struggled to bring clarity to who they are.

We are building solutions to these problems.

We are speaking truth to power through media, culture, and technology to empower the voice of the people toward liberty and freedom.

Journalism in its purest form is a high calling.  In its worst (current) form, it is nothing more than propaganda and distraction for the masses.  The Fourth Estate, as journalism has historically been called, was derived for the purpose of holding elected leaders, legislators and public servants accountable to the people.  Nearly every major issue the United States faces today; loss of civil liberties, the drug war, foreign wars and intervention, the growing police state, the endless printing of currency, the rise and fall of the petro-dollar, drone strikes, American soil as a battlefield, total disregard for rule of law, and so on, can be directly traced to a lack of exposure by, or understanding from journalists.

For two and half years I have heard day after day about media blackout, about corporations having too much control over media, about the need for honesty and truth.  I have heard about how the American public is asleep and there is no one in MSM speaking about the issues of our disappearing liberties, no one to push back against the left/right paradigm.

What I have done is stepped out in response to what millions of Americans from the Tea Party and Occupy movements, from independents to the fast growing Liberty movement have been crying out for.  The opportunity is here… not MY opportunity, YOUR opportunity.

This project is about restoring power to the people.  It will be journalism by the people and for the people.
