a few can percieve the real world through a wide gathering of information and study of history.it is hard for those few to make any inroads into public ignorance,even your own family and friends are resistant to accepting any uncomfortable or disturbing information,people have been dumbed down,they have to work longer hours to try and pay the bills,they have little interest in foreign affairs and their predjudice decides what they believe,a very few social manipulators are responsible for all the worlds ills,dont forget the last two world wars were white on white,its not about race,its about class.

Thanks Andre, we who can't go need you to go in our stead. We need journalists to take the risks and report. I know enough to not trust lame stream media, and I have a cadre of journalists I believe make their best efforts to tell the truth. I don't think they get the coverage they deserve and it saddens me to see which stories and which journalists are given lots of time to lay out their side of the story. Keep up the good work, but also never forget to take care of yourself.

Do not expect solutions from Vletchek, Parenti or Chomsky. They will present the real, true facts for you to consider evaluate, investigate and ponder..YOU make your mind up as to WHAT you can do. Draw your own conclusions. Act upon your morality and...let your own conscience be your guide. The Great Spirit may bless you.

Excellent article. The truth is that all those well-paid "famous" reporters are nothing but agents recruited in university who sell out to CIA/MI6/Mossad/etc., in return of having their careers "made" for them.

This is a great article by Andre Vltchek. However, I find some of his articles somewhat annoying, in his almost total condemnation of everyone who lives in Western Civilisation - where he himself is from. So far as I remember, he is from Russia, then lived in New York for 10 years He then decides to spend almost all of his time, travelling throughout warzones and other cultures throughout the rest of the world. Fine, I don't have a problem with that, and I agree with most of his views. But then he comes back to the Western World, to flog his books etc, and not just slags of the Governments and control systems, but almost everyone. Sure, many ordinary people in The West, are brainwashed, uneducated zombies. However, it is not their fault, they have been brainwashed by nonsense on TV and the atrocious MSM media. In fact, I find most people I meet in Western countries, very pleasant and helpful. Don't condemn all the people, because we have got lousy governments. Maybe he thinks we live in democracies, where everyone has got easy access to truthful information, are well educated, and can make sensible choices, on how we are governed. Severely criticising us all, is not particularly helpful. Tony

Andre is very tiresome and tiring. His screeds con't help anyone worldwide but appeal to his insider cronies. Here is a survey of Indonesians who don't trust his writing and dislike his off the rails hyperbole: https://www.reddit.com/r/indonesia/comments/2dvl2... He beats his own chest more than even Eric Draitser.

Well Vlad, some years ago someone I knew said something to me and it took me many years and a lot of misery to finally understand. I doubt he really understood, what he was saying. I guess it is something people just say, but it take people having gone through........... to understand. Here is goes Vlad, I am sure you get it, really get it: WHAT EVER GOOD YOU DO IN THIS LIFE, YOU DO IT TO YOURSELF!

Excellent and so true. I live in ecuador and although this is by no mean a war zone, i sense what andre writes about when sharing life every day with poor and simple but real people facing real issues. Nothing to do with what is ever reported in the news. Bravo andre. Yes we do need you.

It should be a requirement that before anyone can even run for President, he should have experience spending time with ordinary people in many different countries.

Andre, you are 100% right, without exception. There is reality. The senses of people know it. Science is very good at discovering the depth of it. There is imagined reality, which is all fake. This is called religion. There is news. There is hardly anything new or real about it. It is written pseudo fiction. Oftentimes biased. They are stories of opinions pretending to be linked to reality. They don't. They fill the front pages in all formats and outlets. Put out enough fakes and people believe they are real. Then there is propaganda. Today this constitutes just about all of big media, corporate controlled media, and media controlled by government apparatus. They conduct wars of ideologies. They are tools, very precisely designed tools to manipulate the minds and society. They frequently work. Today with networked digital information, they work wonders. This is how the rich control the poor. And yes, this is how millions of fools buy iPhone to convince themselves they are smart.

.Excellent truths of a bitter reality. You do not get rewarded in this physical world for doing the right thing, except for self satisfaction in fleeting moments. Honors to you Andre for fighting the fight for a world needing light - truth - humanity. Great things are done by individuals. Blessings to all this 2018 and as you can may we fight the fight together wherever we stand.

As a war correspondent Vltchek may be second to none. But he suggests no solution, and time is running out. My solution is to nuke the heart of US aggression, and the heart of Zionism. Is there a better one?

Andre what glorious writing . Thank you for sharing your truly inspiring thoughts and reporting reality.Even if a times you doubt it you are not alone millions share your conviction.You do justice to the cause and are in good company. Martha Gelhorn , John Pilger,Wilfred Birchett , Oliver Stone ...all knew and know what it was like to get their arses kicked along with thousands of others who just quietly did the right thing...I salute you ps.....and I thank Tom at ICH for enriching our lives in bringing such soul food to the table...may 2018 see more and more people coming to your marvelous website and 'donating' for that better world you bravely fight for...

Appreciation and admiration to you. You are one of the rare jewels we have for the insights into this horrendous world of wars we are seeing. If people actually just STOPPED and thought about about all the killing and why it was happening, and put themselves in the places of those being attacked by outside forces, maybe they would do something to bring it all to an end. I ask people "What would you do if another country came into our nation and attacked us?" And they answer "We'd wipe their butts off the face of the planet. Nobody messes with Americans!" And yet it saddens me they are so impervious to not see the same in another mans nation or another mans life. Their only concern is for their own..

Excellent article. Makes we want to immediately go and study journalism. There are not enough true investigative journalists in the world, they need or encouragement and support.
