Why Can’t the American Government Stop Talking About RT?

February 9, 2015 By Andrey Panevin 3 Comments

In the current climate of political Russophobia, the American government just can’t stop talking about RT News (Russia Today). Secretary of State John Kerry has blasted it as a “propaganda bullhorn.”

The Chair of the US Broadcasting Board of Governors labelled it beside Boko Haram and ISIS and now Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland has called it a broadcaster of “untruths … with a tiny, tiny viewership.”

The obvious question to ask is, why do they insist on talking about RT if it really is all the things they call it? The answer is just as obvious. It is because they understand that RT is the opposite of all of these things, and people are beginning to find out.

A Microcosm Of American Politics: Reports From #MillionMaskMarch DC

November 13, 2014 By Caroline Scullin 1 Comment

This is what makes Anonymous such a novel concept: Instead of specific groupings of activists who come together over a single shared interest, Anon invites and encourages any and all to take a passionate stance against injustices or oppressions that exist in our world. Being that Anonymous is world-wide, the range of issues being presented is vast.

On November 5th of each year, “Anons,” collectively masked with their iconic Guy Fawkes grins and armed with their poignant messages printed on hand-made signs, set out to participate in Million Mask Marches in their respective cities. The purpose of the march is to educate and inform citizens while simultaneously making a loud statement of dissent to the Establishment.

The following accounts outline our personal experiences at the 2014 Million Mask March in Washington, D.C.

Sweeping The Globe: #MillionMaskMarch Impossible To Ignore

November 10, 2014 By Endarken 1 Comment

Over 400 cities worldwide demonstrated what a REAL “Wave of Action” looks like, celebrating Guy Fawkes Day (November 5th) by congregating in major city centres the world over to spread messages of awakening to their fellow citizens and commemorate the growth of the Anonymous movement.

Becoming ever larger with each passing year, the Million Mask March (known as MMM) 2014 marks the first major penetration of the event into mainstream media coverage, despite their desperate attempt to black-out MMM in previous years. With this year’s event covered by Reuters and The Guardian, and not just RT, it does seem that the MSM worm is turning. And the BBC have now learned the hard way that if you refuse to cover thousands of protesters converging on a major city centre they may well just bring their grievances to your front doorstep, leaving you little choice but to acknowledge their presence.
