2015: Reviewing the Most Important and the Most Censored Stories of the Year
Global Research News Hour Episode 126
Not only does the absence of media help to maintain a climate of impunity for those who would seek to harm, undermine or even annihilate Indigenous Peoples, it offers a platform of consent that perpetrators—including corporations, right-wing militias, NGOs and governments – can use to justify morally reprehensible acts.” Introduction to People Land Truth 2014, a publication of Intercontinental Cry.
