“I have often wondered why WND is the only publication that prints the truth about what appears to be happening to our sovereignty (and why the MSM does not.)”

I wonder how Lou Dobbs and Glen Beck get away with reporting on it. Lou Dobbs, especially, has gone into great detail on exactly what’s been happening. Can’t see him risking his reputation by reporting on something that wasn’t true. Like some Freepers, the non-media OBLers will call him a conspiracy theorist...but if what he’s reported is SO outrageous, why has none of the MSM even tried to refute his reports? They don’t make fun of him, try to ruin him, call him a tinfoil hat wearer, etc. Instead, they completely ignore the ‘outrageous’ reports. Odd don’t you think?

Indeed. I've seen this behavior  in other places as well over the years. It seems that certain outlets are allowed to report certain things that others are not. NPR is actually able to get away with a lot of this. I noticed years ago when I listened to NPR as a form of opposition research that occasionally I'd hear these little snippets that made my paranoid brain pay attention. Many times it would only be that one snippet of news, and never another mention, kind of like the little one-inch news bytes you'll see in some newspapers. I always read those, because there are sometimes some really important bits of information there that you'll never see or hear about again.

My working hypothesis for quite a while was that the Powers That Be wanted some kind of fig leaf so they could say "hey, this wasn't a secret. It's been reported all along". Another possibility I've entertained is that the PTB make sure this stuff shows up in order to keep themselves informed. They know where and how to look for what's really going on, and it just flies right under most folks radar.

I'm still not really certain what is going on, but it is curious.
