Rupert Murdoch, Glenn Beck, and the Google Fight
This past summer, Glenn Beck kicked off his mental meltdown by saying that President Obama has a deep-seated hatred of white people.

Author John Perkins is no stranger to economic scandals. After all, he started his career as an economic hitman, where he would help corporations force smaller nations to go along with their economic scams so that CEOs could get a larger bonus every year. That’s why he wasn’t surprised when our financial system completed fell apart.

Mike Papantonio talks about how all of this happened with...
