The News Insider, Hijacking the Daily News

Gradually, we started getting good at what we were doing. We would discover, say, a small news article, hidden on some news website under piles of entertainment features, reporting that a group of Abkhaz rebels in Georgia had refused to allow the transportation of natural gas through their territory to supply the US Navy’s 6th fleet. Then, a few weeks later, we’d discover that the leader of those Abkhaz rebels was “assassinated in mysterious circumstances” by a guided rocket targeted to his mobile phone frequency. And shortly afterwards we’d come across a report that the mobile phone was a birthday present to the Abkhaz rebel by the Turkish-American Natural Gas Association. Soon we were knee-deep in the dirty business of unraveling dozens of threads from news stories that were either completely absent or systematically under-reported by mainstream news agencies.

Eventually, we decided to post the results of our daily investigations online. This was the beginning of the News Insider. Each day, we filter through masses of entertainment melodramas and tabloid sensationalism masquerading as news, and we get down to the few news stories of vital importance. These help our readers and us make sense of developments in the areas of world politics, military and diplomatic affairs, and that eternal taboo of mainstream news reporting -intelligence. We handpick our news from over 220 online sources, in English, from 47 countries around the world -from South Africa to Iceland and from Kazakhstan to Japan. In addition, we host intelligent commentaries and exposes by a host of investigative writers, such as former National Security Agency intelligence officer Wayne Madsen, National Defense Industrial Association analyst John Stanton and our own editor-in-chief Louis L. Lingg.

Our mission and aim is to bring back to the headlines those critical news articles that should ideally be flagged by the world’s mainstream press, but are in reality often reported in small print by a profit-oriented news industry geared to the perpetuation of mass ignorance and political apathy. We strive to be the precision lens through which small print news gets magnified on a daily basis.
