Brasscheck.com was the first web site to report on election fraud in the US in depth (1997) and was one of the very earliest news services to seriously question government/media claims about the September 11 attacks.

"In 1920, Upton Sinclair, an outsider to journalism, wrote The Brass Check, the first book exposing the press. It was this book, plus a friendship with the author lasting many years, that influenced me and the books I wrote on the press, beginning in the 1930's."
- George Seldes

September 11, 2001: Fraud and Treason on an Unimaginable Scale

  • Facts about the nature and scope of the terrorist threat to America are being actively withheld from the public. What you are not being told (Published on September 24, 2001. This page has not been updated since this date.)

    Chemically Induced Compliance: The Drugging of Kids and Garbage Science in America

  • Over 1,000,000 American school children are given daily doses of amphetamines and amphetamine-like drugs to regulate their behavior. Why?

    A skeptical view of the anti-gun crusade

  • The "we must do something" chant has resulted in the creation of over 30,000 SWAT teams, undercover cops roaming the streets intimidating and sometimes killing innocent people, and the terror bombing of civilians in Yugoslavia. Now the very same people behind these atrocities want to ban private ownership of firearms. Does this really makes sense?

    No on Prop 21

  • A so called "anti-crime" measure so repressive that even the LAPD and San Francisco Chronicle are against it. Another scam from the Prison Industrial Complex

    Postcards from Seattle

  • Who planned and ordered the terror tactics used by Seattle police and others at the WTO meeting?

    "There are a lot of things going on that nobody seems to want to talk about. It's a bad era. A very bad era."
