Peter Phillips, associate professor of sociology and media research specialist, has led Project Censored at Sonoma State University since 1996. Once again, he brings us a story of incredible importance, not found in the “other” press. This historical documentation and current information is quite horrifying–but as we consider the consequences of 9/11, it’s important for us to know what our government is doing, in spite of the media’s refusal to tell us. Thus the ever-increasing critical value of Project Censored.

As the spectre of martial law looms, and the “need to maintain order” among the population at large in the case of a pandemic or “terrorist attack” is spoken of more often, and more openly, weaponry such as Phillips, et al. reveal in this article will potentially become quite useful to this government and military. It behooves thinking citizens to know the realities of what may lay in store for the populace, horrendous as it may be. We need factual information to make good decisions–here it is.

Phillips’s latest books, “Impeach the President: The Case Against Bush and Cheney,” co-authored with Dennis Loo, and “Censored 2007: The Top 25 Censored Stories” by Phillips and Project Censored, are available here. Both are highly recommended reading.
