Judy, If by "reputable" you mean main stream media, I have to disagree when it comes to investigations of very powerful vested interests.
But what I find heartening in this story is indeed now we seem to be seeing more truth in main stream outlets such as Bloomberg. And I am seeing it in Fox going after the Federal Reserve/AIG scandal which may be the biggest fraud in US history. These are really positive signs. There's a lot of gloom about - especially with this Gulf disaster, and the economic recovery seems to have stalled. So I look for these signs that indeed a better world is emerging and we can see light at the end of the tunnel. Whistle-blowers have an important role to play. They don't always get it right - but they help to lead the way for further investigation to uncover the truth. In this case Bloomberg is revealing what many have said for decades. Mike Ruppert has been a long time whistleblower on the role banks and the govt collaborate in the international drugs trade. His work began by exposing undercover CIA operations to bring drugs into the US while he was an LAPD officer. He is a hero in my view and his work nearly cost him his life. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "authfriend" <jst...@...> wrote: > > I'm not disputing that Wachovia is evil, Brian.
