You'll find below a panoplia of tools that will allow you to gather
quickly the most (or less) recent NEWS on a given thema, no matter its "kind", sensitivity or
geographical location. Yet of course, in a world where almost all
information sources are OWNED by the slavemasters, your only hope to gather some real info
depends from your ability to "reconstruct" it yourself. Hence the importance of the
ARCHIVED information, and of "older" news (historia docet). To find (some rare snippets of) REAL info, you better check the
[behind the propaganda engines], and especially the
[rare snippets of real info]
subsections.

NEWS AGGREGATORS The semanthic reversing power of
collating
(http://www.marumushi.com/apps/newsmap/: marumushi's newsmap
Some older readers may remember the even more beautiful "news aggregator with a geographical look" that was introduced on
the web 5 years ago and then -alas- disappeared...
There's another "really geographical aggregator, though: http://www.buzztracker.org/.
ARCHIVED ARTICLES Goldmines of references...
Alas! Most newspapers nowadays offer only a chronological
selection (a couple of weeks) or
a short summary of their news,
and mostly
demand money
in order to access their archives.
Yet the following list will allow you to access some COMPLETE
(or crippled but still
quite useful) archives.
"Guardian and Observer articles since September 1, 1998. "Verity" -type search engine" - "We have no plans to introduce a charge to read Guardian articles online" (April 2004)
The Economist (> 1997 - very short excerpts:
"premium" articles for fee)
The Economist's search modules have a NorthernLight type engine that can be quite useful for
quick references. Do not lose time
"loggin in for free": you still wont be allowed to see those
articles.
Archives all the news published since November 1997.
There are two ways of accessing the archive:
Fast search: use the SEARCH box below;
Advanced search (or
click on the link in the search results page).
Since thousands of stories are being added every week, you will probably need to
use more than one search word: The more words you enter, the better your results.
You can enter keywords, but you will get better results by entering longer
free text - eg The night of the first Nato bombings of Serbia.
Default is the most relevant results first, but you can chose
search by date on the results page.
You can use double quotes and the Boolean search terms AND,
OR, NEAR and NOT,
which must
be in uppercase. For example search AND web NEAR engine
Use * as a wildcard. Alger* will find stories about Algeria, Algerians etc.
Querystring example:
http://newssearch.bbc.co.uk/cgi-bin/search/results.pl?scope=newsukfs&tab=news&q=angola Note that if you add,
for instance, ?start=20 to the query string, you go back in time accordingly (to page 20 of the results).
WEEKLY: Average/good snippets of information (in German):
"Hier finden Sie alle Beiträge, die von 1996 bis heute über das Internet veröffentlicht wurden. Es handelt sich nicht um ein
vollständiges Verzeichnis aller gedruckten Artikel unseres Blattes."
ONLY those articles that have been published on the web. Yet those are complete. 52 numbers for every year. Search
function often broken.
Archive Index
DAILY:
"Inserire le parole separate da spazi. Verranno trovati i documenti che contengono
tutte le parole." Seems to search only a small set out of 70000 documents, though.
You may alternatively search the "Corriere della sera" (most important italian daily), its
archives go back to 1992(!) but will allow you to read
for free only all articles of the last two weeks or only
those articles that are SHORTER THAN 1000 characters for
the whole 1992-today period. http://archivio.corriere.it/archivio/form.jsp
DAILY: Subcontinental affairs. This is in fact -funny enough-
"The world's largest daily English language broadsheet" (and also the only
newspaper in english situated among the top indian 10)
DAILY: Europe's Capital most important Newspaper. THEORETICALLY from 1994 onwards,
yet they seem, until now, to have articles only from Mai 2003 onwards. You can
check only the first 150 articles for each query, so refine
your queryes whenever necessary.
DAILY: The San Francisco Chronicle is northern California's largest newspaper, it has a daily circulation of over 500,000 and
has received the Pulitzer Prize on a number of occasions. Its archives are complete and free.
The archive search contains staff written articles only.
DAILY:
Italian minor Newspaper. Its archives, from 1st March, 1998 onwards, are
complete and free. You can even visualize the first page as a JPG
image.
DAILY:
All-European, minor, english Newspaper. Kind of thing you find in the planes, and read only there, if ever.
Yet its archives, from 2002 onwards, are
complete and free. You can often find thattaway full text articles from Associated Press, reuter and New York Times...
Apart from the obvious use for everyday's news checking purposes & in order to delve
into the pseudo-information we get (in order not to slurp it, but to
evaluate thoroughly what's going on),
the various forms above can
come quite handy for many a RESEARCH purpose. As you may imagine, for instance, in a society with extremely reduced attention spans (like our one, duh)
checking what politicians (or whomever) said BEFORE an event you
AFTERWARDS happen to know "the development of"... (a war, a law, a brawl, whatever) can be quite helpful to demonstrate (rarely) their
competence, or (more frequently)
their utter incompetence :-)
Note also that the above choices are necessarily limited and that there are, of course,
MANY MORE historical "news" archives all around the web. To underline but one specific example:
A young (german speaking) student could, using the following
site: http://anno.onb.ac.at/cgi-content/anno,
immediately begin to prepare an "in depth" research on the austrian (and middle european)
history between 1800 and 1938. Bet with you that with such material he could write a book
more solide than many 'non web' historians could ever hope to write. And
this is just ONE example of the incredible richness of the web! Similar archives and uncounted
databases exist
for all countries,
every time frame, all languages... and always for free. You'll find them every time you need them... provided you know how to search!
Special Subjects When special tools are needed
Israelo-Arab questions
"Every image should be seen from the other side"
http://www.memri.org/
Middle East Media Research Institute
(MEMRI) Proof of how linguists can create a media stir simply by translating,
accurately, cherry picked Arabic-language news stories. Deals with
Jihad and terrorism studies project, USA and the middle east,
Reform in the arab and muslim world, Arab-israeli conflict,
Inter-arab relations, Economic studies,
Arab antisemitism documentation project.
They translate with gusto the most inflammatory anti-USA and ant-israeli rhetoric
they can find in the Arabic press. Quite interesting, notwithstanding the obvious bias.
http://www.cair-net.org/default.asp CAIR, Council on American-Islamic Relations,
the counterpiece to memri above: "About Islam and American Muslims"
http://www.debka.com Debka: "A Web Site With the Inside Dope on the Middle East". A crudely designed,
Jerusalem-based Web site that offers Middle Eastern military, diplomatic and
intelligence information of suspected reliability, and yet far more detailed than what
is offered
by many news organizations. Israeli
intelligence snippets from an ex-economist correspondent and some heavy propaganda, but a lot of hard to find israeli news. Warning:
they do not check facts very carefully and moreover they blend facts, fantasy and
propaganda in ways that make it difficult to separate one from the other.

A glimps into the 2003 complete data, for instance inequality:

from this page, and clicking on a single country, you can move around the database at will.
IMF - WORLD ECONOMIC AND FINANCIAL SURVEYS... (the masters of the commercial planetscape)
You can also search the current data either by Country (group),
or by Aggregates, and let the script prepare you
a report on the fly.
EUROSTAT... (the faceless honest bureaucrats)
Clearly a LOT of material in order to reverse the very 'graphical' patterns used by the propaganda slavemasters...
Tricks against "signing in" Also check the webbits section
Those annoying news with signing in options
Can be easily bypassed... as Nemo points out:
Just thought I'd share this with you... While searching for some
info on google I stumbled across a NY Times article. But when I opened
the article all I got was the sign in box. darn. So I thought, try
google cache, but they were clever enough to add a nocache directive.
No luck there.
But the google snippet had some real text from the article, so I know
they are serving google something different than me. trying to make my
mouth water by getting the pages included in the google index but snatching
away the cake before I can eat it!
What the boys didn't think of though, was the google translation tool.
Simply translate the page from X to English and voilla you get served
the cloaked content! I guess NY Times are going to stuff that hole one day, but
in the mean time it makes research so much easier!
That's a neat trick! Probably it should also work for other (news) cloakers... hehehe
This trick is of course -simply put- genial. The idiots that want your data --or your money-- to access their articles
MUST INDICIZE those very "hidden" articles on the main search engines in the first time, else no lemming will
come and smear his data and/or money around. So the complete text must be SEEN by the search engines' bots.
Hence they MUST ALLOW access to the search engines' bots. The more search engines, the more bots... the better.
Google, Fast, Yahoo,
Teoma, you name them.
Hence if you -say- spoof your referral, and/or use a translation service and/or use another of the
many webbits tricks, you'r as good a reader as google
:-)
Try a New york times article
on the form below (but if you use, as you always should, Opera+proxomitron it may not
work... use --for this-- M$IE like the average zombies and you'll do the magic :-)
Of course there are even more "funny" alternatives and tricks for those annoying "signing in" options.
Let's imagine you need an email address on the fly, in order to comply with such silly "registration" purposes, which as you no doubt know are
just attempts to spam you and fill their databases with your preferences, tastes and choices.
Well, you don't even
need to give them one of your own "pre-fabricated" fake identities
(I have myself DOZENS of different completely fake
email addresses, which may come useful inter alia
to track who and where will spam you). But no, you don't need that, in fact you may use the services of
http://www.pookmail.com/,
mailinator and dozens
of other useful "on the fly" emailaddresses fabricators.
You will get an email address THE VERY MOMENT YOU JUST VISIT THE PAGE,
which you'll be able to use "l'espace d'un matin", since it will be deleted after a short while :-)
