Meanwhile, somewhere in América...
"These days, those suspected of money laundering and other crimes linked to América's "narcosistema" don't send out hit men or mob lawyers to take care of nosy reporters and researchers. Instead, they employ former FBI agents, private investigators and high-powered Washington law firms to keep a rein on the media. They spy, they entrap, and they use lawsuits - not bullets - to silence the press."
-- Julie Reynolds, El Andar magazine

Banamex v. Narco News

IT'S SHOWTIME!

Cop v. CIA Comments:

Michael C. Ruppert on the Banamex Lawsuit Against Us

Will You Help To Keep Us Publishing?

"Why the Lawsuit?

To Silence Him"

"Make no mistake. This court fight isn't about any particular story NarcoNews has done. It's about ALL of them, and all of the ones yet to come. And it's a battle over the continued independence of Internet journalism as well. The silencing of Al Giordano and NarcoNews isn't a theoretical possibility that might happen a couple years from now. It's already happening. Al and his volunteer lawyers are hip-deep in it right now. And they need our help."
