In its own words:
"A collaborative, specialized encyclopedia of the people, organizations, and issues shaping the public agenda. SourceWatch profiles the activities of front groups, PR spinners, industry-friendly experts, industry-funded organizations, and think tanks trying to manipulate public opinion on behalf of corporations or government. We also highlight key public policies they are trying to affect and provide ways to get involved."

Main focus: Fracking, ALEC, Koch Brothers, State Policy Network, US/National Debt

SourceWatch is very useful as a reference, though does have its blindspots, such as in 9/11 and other false flags where it uncritically repeats the official narrative. It is under the umbrella of the Center for Media and Democracy (CMD) which is a nonprofit watchdog and advocacy organization based in Madison, Wisconsin. CMD publishes PR Watch, SourceWatch, and ALECexposed.org.

"Bailout"	http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Bailout	A globally organised shift of money from ordinary taxpayers to the already hyper-rich who control the banking and political systems.

"Conspiracy theory"	http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Conspiracy theory	An enemy image used to equate scepticism of government with craziness. It was developed by the CIA to try to contain doubt about the FBI's "Oswald did it, case closed" approach to the JFK assassination. It is now being associated with dangerous and violent insanity, in an effort to promote internet censorship of free speech.
"Counter-terrorism"	http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Counter-terrorism	A component of the military-industrial-terrorism-congressional complex which has seen a dramatic growth since 9-11. Originally referred to special forces trained in terrorist warfare, it became a broader meaning for loss of civil liberties and a culture of fear and mistrust.

"National security"	http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/National security	Like the idea of 'Patriotism', the notion of 'National Security' is one designed to bind all members of a society together. By evoking fear of its opposite it creates a suitable psychological frame for the abdication of personal responsibility to the nation state.

Bush with the support of the UK, and most NATO members (at least formally) and other Western-aligned countries.

Event	Description
Open Society Foundations	A NGO operating in more countries than McDonald's. It has the tendency to support politicians (at times through astroturfing) and activists that get branded as "extreme left" as its founder is billionaire and bane of the pound George Soros. This polarizing perspective causes the abnormal influence of the OSF to go somewhat unanswered.
The Ford Foundation	In addition to its own billionaire agenda, also known to have been $$$ middleman for covert CIA funding.
