Links and Disclosures
The Narco News Bulletin works to tell the truth. We call
it as we see it. Yet we are conscious that it's our truth. The
whole truth can only be constructed by the participation of the
people. Thus, we strive to work together, to collaborate, with
your truth and the truths of others, "to make a bigger truth."
Narco News is a project in authentic journalism.
We do not accept advertising. We do not charge a price for our
reports.
Narco News has no bank account. During our
legal battle against Banamex-Citigroup in the New York Supreme
Court, we did have a
defense fund, titled
Drug War on Trial, exclusively for our legal expenses. We were
victorious in that battle, but are still in debt and preparing
a countersuit to collect our damages from this frivolous narco-lawsuit.
In sum, Narco News
makes no profit, raises no funds, and seeks to keep free speech
free from economic pressures.
The annual budget of Narco
News -- $270 U.S. dollars for the website -- is paid for by our
