Being financed to this point would mean that TvNewsLIES could pay for its overhead and any money over this amount could go towards hiring reporters and expanding the new radio program. It would also allow TvNewsLIES could repay my original investment so that I can do things like pay the rent and buy food! Just something to think about. http://tvnewslies.org/html/an_urgent_message.html *Support us with a simple click of the mouse!:* If every subscriber to this site clicked on some of the text ads on the news page we would probably earn enough advertising revenue to keep going without donations! *SHOP WITH US! *b If you use our links on the side of the news page when you shop at your favorite online stores we receive revenue from the online shops and it costs you nothing! *SPECIAL NOTE: I will be introducing Jim Fetzer, the co-founder of Scholars for 9/11 Truth at his presentation at the Vox Pop cafe in Brooklyn, New York tomorrow night.

I'll be wearing a TvNewsLIES shirt!)* *TVNL Editor's Comments: The Controversy about Controversy* Let me give you a little tip. When a controversial issue is raised for discussion and someone attempts to quash the issue your enemy has just revealed him or herself. Regardless if the topic is 9/11 or where your spouse was last night, if a person refuses to address an issue based on the notion that it is btoo absurd to even discussb, you have just identified someone with something to hide. Sometimes they have something to hide from you and sometimes they are hiding something from themselves; but either way you have identified someone who does not want certain information brought out. Many of the Americans who are going to continue their criticism of me and my writing by trashing this commentary agree with me on this even though they don't know it. You see this falls under the bI have nothing to hideb principle. You know, the same principle that has been adopted by the Americans who support secret wire tapping, loss if privacy and government snooping. You know...my critics. These people say that all this is OK because if you have nothing to hide you should not mind if your government violates your privacy. Yet these same people want to stop all discussions related to 9/11, Israel, Zionism, government conspiracies, the Holocaust etc. Why? What are they afraid of? What do they have to hide and what do they have to lose by discussing things? Are they unwilling to teach others where they are wrong or are they afraid of learning something for themselves? You see the more controversial the issue the more we should be discussing it. Dialog is only way to clear up controversy. When you discuss an issue one of three things are going to happen. 1. The person with the controversial view is going to learn something. 2. The person with the counter view is going to learn something. 3. The parties will agree to disagree but they will better understand the respective positions. During the last scene in the movie The Godfather, Al Pacino's character, Don Michael Corleone, is asked by his wife Kay, played by Diane Keaton, if he had his brother-in-law murdered. The Don refused to answer the question based on a simple principle of privacy. His principle: bDon't ask me about my business!b That's it. That was his reason for not answering. And all who were watching the movie knew exactly why the Don made it his business not to talk about his business. And you know what, there are a lot of people out there who refuse to talk about their business, be it 9/11, Israel, etc., based on a similar principle, so to speak. So when you hear someone say that they won't talk about something because you are making an absurd insinuation, that person, even though they may not know it, may just be standing for the same principles that the Don did. So may I suggest to all, don't bbe like Mikeb (Corleone)! Listen, speak and resolve. Leaving an issue to fester is what causes problems, discussing issues should pose no threat to people who have bnothing to hide!b Think about it. - Jesse bEditor, TvNewsLIES.org *NOTE: You can respond to my daily comments on my blog, located here: http://tvnewslies.org/blog * Hey!

A small genetic change to an organism can enable an organisation to seek intellectual copyright, and charge technology fees and other costs for its use. With life forms, unlike a widget on a conveyor belt, the bproductb is self perpetuating (unless that bfeatureb has been removed by the company - a whole other problem on its own). This effectively means, if unchecked, organisations that megalomaniacally tinker with the building blocks of life (seeds, or otherwise), can take control of everything that makes this planet tick. *INTERNATIONAL : **http://www.tvnewslies.org/news/#international* *Crisis creeps towards catastrophe as village after village is wiped out* - First eyewitness accounts reveal ethnic cleansing spreading from Sudan *TVNL Comment: No Bush liberation here!* *MILITARY & VETERANS : **http://www.tvnewslies.org/news/#military* *US marine to be tried *- A US marine accused of "voluntary homicide" in the death of an Italian secret service agent is set to go on trial in absentia in a Rome court. *EDITORIAL : **http://www.tvnewslies.org/news/#editorial* *The Controversy about Controversy* - You see the more controversial the issue the more we should be discussing it.
