The rulers of our country still want to bury the truth.* *Now more than ever, we need credible, independent journalism. Consortium News has had an unwavering commitment to principled, nonpartisan reporting since Parry started the site.* <https://consortiumnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/Obits.jpg> * Bob’s obituaries in the New York Times and Washington Post* *After losing Bob earlier this year, his commitment to independent journalism lives on with Consortium News. That commitment can be seen in the stories we continue to publish, such as persistent nonpartisan analysis of the so-calledRussia-gate scandal. <https://consortiumnews.com/category/russiagate/>* - *New writers, filing original stories to Consortium News, such as Max Blumentha <https://consortiumnews.com/2018/08/27/the-other-side-of-john-mccain/>l andPepe Escobar. <https://consortiumnews.com/2018/08/29/back-in-the-great-game-the-revenge-of-eurasian-land-powers/> * - *Consortium News Radio launched in August with an interview of Peter Van Buren <https://consortiumnews.com/2018/08/09/consortium-news-radio-episode-1-peter-van-buren/>, a former State Department official, whistleblower and victim of Twitter censorship. * - *A collaboration with the Pacifica Radio network and KPFA station in Berkeley, Consortium News on Flashpoints. <https://consortiumnews.com/category/consortium-news-on-flash-points/>* - *The Consortium News Podcast launched in September <https://consortiumnews.com/2018/09/04/new-consortium-news-launches-audio-and-video-podcasts/>. * - *The ongoing series of Memos to the President from the Veterans Intelligence Professionals for Sanity. <https://consortiumnews.com/vips-memos/>* - *A 12-hour streaming, online vigil in defense of Julian Assange <https://consortiumnews.com/2018/09/01/an-online-vigil-in-defense-of-julian-assange-with-daniel-ellsberg-craig-murray-bill-binney-and-ray-mcgovern/> with Daniel Ellsberg, Craig Murray, Bill Binney, Ray McGovern and other participants.* *Today, our fall fund drive begins, and we are asking for a commitment from you. We are setting our fall fund drive target at $35,000, the amount needed to continue our independent journalism, which has been challenging misguided conventional wisdom for more than two decades. * *Help us take Consortium News into its next phase as a trusted source of independent news and views.* *You can donate here <https://org.salsalabs.com/o/1868/p/salsa/donation/common/public/?donate_page_KEY=14124&okay=True> by credit card online (we accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover), by PayPal (our PayPal account is named after our first email address, “[email protected] <[email protected]>”), or by mailing a check to Consortium for Independent Journalism (CIJ) at 2200 Wilson Blvd., Suite 102-231, Arlington, VA 22201.* *We are registered with PayPal’s Giving Fund under the name Consortium for Independent Journalism.
