Peter B. Collins & Sibel Edmonds Unplugged & on Fire

Boiling Frogs Podcast Show #60

BFP Podcast Logo

Peter B. Collins and Sibel Edmonds discuss the meaning of true alternative media, the role of corporate-foundations in mainstreaming the so-called alternative news, the shameful state of mainstream media as the mouthpiece for the government steered by mega corporations, the joint pseudo alternative-mainstream media black-outs on information pertaining to 9/11, government whistleblowers, secrecy, and the falsification of the truth by tentacles of our shadow government. We go on record with examples of establishment alternatives in disguise and real cases of operatives who sabotage true alternatives like Boiling Frogs Post. We talk about Boiling Frogs Post, our partners and team members, our goals, our pledge to complete independence from the corporates and their foundations, our stand on partisanship, and more!


Here are Peter B. Collins and Sibel Edmonds unplugged & on Fire!


This is the final week of our Boiling Frogs Post subscription drive. As always I want to thank all our subscribers who believe in us; have faith in what we are doing, and have shown their support in action. We want to thank every single one of you who recognize, appreciate and support a true alternative without corporate or foundation ties.

We are entering the final week of our BFP Subscription Drive. We need 176 new subscribers to keep this home reachable to all. Please help us keep this ‘true alternative’ alive and kicking with your subscription. Without a single penny from corporate and their foundations we solely depend on you. Thank you!

How Do You Recognize a True Alternative?


Boiling Frogs Post Subscription Countdown Status


LAEOn September 21, 2011 we broke the story of two CIA analysts at the heart of a notorious failure in the run-up to 9/11who were also involved in the agency’s scandalous rendition and torture cases, and identified them by name. The mainstream media, from the Washington Post to the New Yorker, had been sitting on this story for years, and despite all their resources and in-house legal muscle had chosen to withhold this information from the American public. The popular pseudo alternative outlets have not dared to publish a word on this story, despite us taking the lead and the associated risks of exposing these mammoth government hit-men, and despite their millions of dollars from the corporate-foundations, Soros and the like. Boiling Frogs Post is that kind of an alternative.

We brought to our readers a sobering four-part series on U.S. Psychological Warfare, 9/11 & the American Narrative, written and presented to you by distinguished investigative authors Elizabeth Gould and Paul Fitzgerald. In this series we dared to delve into the real history, context and facts long censored by mainstream authors and quasi alternatives alike. By doing this, once again we managed to ruffle some feathers, and kicked our daring content up another notch or two.

We dedicated an entire month to our podcast coverage of hard-hitting facts and proven cover-ups related to 9/11, and presented to you experts and analysts who have long been outcast by the mainstream media intimidated by naked truths. We dared their ‘marginalization tactics & threats’; they lost-our listeners won.

We have been producing and showcasing our one-of-a-kind video series on topics long-considered ‘no-no’ by the establishment and their tentacles. Our partner, James Corbett, has been delving into ‘hot-potato’ cases; from Afghanistan’s White Gold-Heroin, to the CIA-News Media joint operation and partnership. With documented facts on our side we have been sawing through their thick and crusty cover made of lies. Every day, with every single additional video viewer, we are expanding the number of those in the know, and shrinking the size of their reliable majority.

They want to continue to mislead and misinform Americans on Palestine related issues and developments-we counter that with facts presented by our distinguished and well-respected experts. They want to trick the public into trusting their tentacles in order to manufacture consent-we tear apart their web, wreck their mazes, and connect the dots back to their pockets.

Fundraising ThermometerThat’s who we are. That’s what we’ve been doing. That’s exactly what we want to continue to be doing. That’s what Boiling Frogs Post is about. Do you like what you see here at Boiling Frogs Post? Do you want us to continue? Would you like to finally have a media outlet free of corporate ties, foundation strings, partisan alliances, and shady partnerships?

This time I am going to start with the bad news: we have reached the end of our three-week subscription drive, and we have not made it. We have not reached our goal of having 500 new subscribers for this quarter. We have added only 286 new subscribers. In order to continue what we need is at least 200 more of you to subscribe.

I don’t want to downplay the positive side of this. We have 286 new subscribers who have committed to supporting Boiling Frogs Post. We have 286 new subscribers who believe in us; have faith in what we are doing, and have shown their support in action. We want to thank every single one of them.

Now, what are we going to do? We were hoping to reach our 500 new subscribers objective and offer every single post, podcast, and video report to everyone. But we didn’t make it. That leaves us with two options:

1-    Starting this Monday, October 3, provide our podcast interviews and videos only to Boiling Frogs Post Subscribers.

2-    Extend our subscription drive for another two weeks, and try one more time to reach our goal of 500 new subscribers.

As I have said repeatedly, we want to continue this, expand this website, yet make sure we reach as many people as possible, and offer everything to everyone, with all our materials/information/articles available to all. How is it possible to consolidate both objectives? How can we sustain this website’s operations, and remain open and available to all? Most importantly, how do we accomplish all this without a single penny from corporate ads, and without a single string attaching us to those charlatan corporate-foundations?

We all know the answer. There is only one way: your contribution, commitment and support by subscribing to Boiling Frogs Post. There is NO other way. We have to do this every quarter, and we have to expand our subscription base. For this quarter we needed 500 new subscribers. We need 200 additional subscribers to meet that objective. Per your requests and our team members’ input we are going to extend this quarter’s subscription drive by two weeks until Sunday, October 16. We have been doing our share. We want to continue to do so. Please do your share and give this real alternative a chance. Please support us by subscribing to Boiling Frogs Post. Thank You.

It is One Way or another: We Can’t Have it Both Ways & Here is Why

Boiling Frogs Subscription Countdown: Week 3

Fundraising Thermometer We are beginning our third week in our countdown for 500 new subscribers this quarter to keep Boiling Frogs Post alive. The good news: We have added 224 new subscribers who now have committed to supporting us not only in words but in action. The bad news: we are not even halfway there.

You see, there are some things in life that are either ‘this’ way or ‘that’ way. There are certain expectations in life that can only be fulfilled with ‘one’ course of action or ‘another.’ Certain situations in life don’t allow having it ‘both ways.’ And we believe this is one of those situations.

We can’t say, on one hand, that we are disgusted, sick and tired of corporate media supported by the corporate circle and establishment money, and then not commit to supporting the very few without those corporate strings. We can’t expect to have independent information outlets free of corporate foundations ruled by Soroses-Rockefeller and Carnegies, on one hand, and then not contribute to those who are giving us exactly what we want without those shady foundation attachments.

This is Boiling Frogs Post, an independent website operating without any agenda-driven corporate foundation backing, without a single dime of corporate advertisements, and without any political party affiliation. We are struggling to make this independent information outlet possible while juggling work and family responsibilities. You the friends, readers and supporters of this forum for the irate minority are the sole determinant of our survival, continuation and further expansion. Without your contribution this true alternative will not exist. Without your direct support our options will be boiled down to the corporate mainstream media and corporate foundation pseudo alternatives.

It is time for the reality check of our expectations of independent media and information outlets. It is ‘one’ way or ‘another.’ It is either free to all but paid for and controlled by the corporate establishment, or, it is supported and sustained by us the people for us the people. The choice is ours. The decision is yours. Are you willing to support and sponsor our community? Will you help us continue and expand?

Here is how you can support us: Sign up for the Boiling Frogs Post recurring monthly or annual Subscription program to help us continue and expand this website. We need at least 276 more subscribers this quarter to make it.

Boiling Frogs Post: A Home for the Politically Homeless


When it comes to Crooked Puppets We Take No Prisoners


By Sibel Edmonds

SibelFor the past two years Boiling Frogs Post has been the proud home of the irate minority. When I started this website, even before completing the site’s setup, I had already picked the quote which this site’s principle was going to be based upon. In fact, this particular quote was one of the major catalysts in making the decision to launch Boiling Frogs Post:

It does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority keen to set brush fires in people’s minds.” – Samuel Adams

As you all know, I have been referring to our core group and supporters as our vigilant irate minority friends. The majority has been trying very hard, and most of the time successfully, to paint us, our vigilant minority group, as conspiracy theorists, fringe, loonies or worse. Two years ago I wrote about the story of the poisoned well and here are a few excerpts on the crazy majority and the vigilant minority who refrain from drinking from the poisoned well:

Today in our nation, with the help of the mainstream media and the pseudo alternative-media alike, anyone who dares NOT to drink from the well poisoned by the establishment corruption, greed, abuses and lies, tainted foreign policy agenda, and cover-ups, is destined to find himself stuffed into the same bucket of crazies, loonies, the mad and insane.

Those driven by pure, agenda-free, and nonpartisan civil liberties motives are coined as die-hard unrealistic idealists.

Those in government who dare to come forward, speak up, and tell the truth are labeled as disgruntled whistleblowers.

Those groups who fight for accountability and demand justice are dismissed as extremists.

Those activists who dare to ask for ‘real’ investigations in matters such as 9/11 are grouped and stuffed in a bucket as insane conspiracy theorists.

Those real investigative journalists and reporters who have defied the ‘dictation,’ refusing to become stenographers, have found themselves jobless and without paid outlets to publish.

Two years later here we are still, the vigilant irate minority. And that’s not all. There is another common stand and bond that holds us together. We also happen to be a politically homeless bunch. What do I mean by that? Well, just take a look at what we’ve been saying and doing for the last two years. We fought and opposed the previous regime under Bush. We’ve been countering, exposing and fighting the current regime under Obama; since day one of his presidency. We are looking at the actors on the warm-up stage for the upcoming elections, and shaking our heads in disgust.

We all know too well about the establishment presenting their puppets in two different costumes and under two different labels: Democrats & Republicans. We realize the mockery of democracy and that having a choice is about the establishment giving the people their two choices-the two sides of the same coin, and saying ‘here you go; pick from the two and we get ours either way!’ That’s what I mean by the nonpartisan minority here; a politically homeless group.

We are aware of the pseudo terrorism script being sold to our nation as the pretext for our establishment’s objective of perpetual wars. We do see through the fables, fantasies and lies marketed to our nation’s crazy majority by the mainstream and pseudo alternative media.

Fundraising ThermometerJust take a look at the coverage provided to you by Boiling Frogs Post in the past two years. Look at the list of 54 guests and issues we have presented to you in our Boiling Frogs Podcast Interview Series. Check out our editorial series covering issues ranging from corporate-foundations & their puppet NGOs, to Police State Practices, to 9/11 censored facts, to … Watch our recent exclusive video series-the EyeOpener, daring to delve into ‘no-no’ cases from Afghan Heroin to the Israel Lobby, and see if you can find anything like it in mainstream or pseudo alternative outlets. While you are at it go over the hard-hitting original political ‘toons presented to you by our award-winning cartoonist Paul Jamiol here at Boiling Frogs Post for the past two years.

Boiling Frogs Post has been the home of the vigilant irate minority. It has been the home for politically homeless people like you and me who refuse to drink from the poisoned well. This home is independent. This home is nonpartisan. We do not receive a single penny from corporate-foundation shills or corporate advertisement trap setters. This home relies only on the support provided by a like-minded irate minority like you.

We are starting our Week 2 Subscription Drive Countdown. As you can see we still have a long way to go but only 2 more weeks in which to do it. In order to continue this website and offer our content to everyone out there we need subscribers. We need 500 new subscribers for this quarter to make this happen. Please do your share and help us continue by subscribing to Boiling Frogs Post today. Thank you.

Boiling Frogs Post Boycotts the Culprit Mainstream Media


The Only Way to Remain Independent & Uncompromised


boycottLast week I got an e-mail from a reporter from one of the top three culprit-corporate mainstream media players. In his e-mail, the ‘reporter’ provided a link to a recent article on FBI Translator-Whistleblower Liebowitz. He politely asked me to cover it at Boiling Frogs Post and disseminate, ‘since this is a case directly related to your case, your movement and website, Ms. Edmonds.’ I politely responded,

I am aware of the case and I will include it in my nightly news roundup this evening. However, first I have to go and find a REPUTABLE news source that has provided coverage on this.’

Very quickly, another e-mail followed, asking me,

What are you trying to say? That XYZ is not reputable?! Don’t be ridiculous. It’s outrageous. What is this…some sort of a boycott?!

I thought about this for a few minutes, then, went and checked my nightly news posts and the sources for the last ten weeks, five nights a week. Guess what? I’ve been boycotting these jerks! How about that?! I guess it had not occurred to me in those terms until last week with that reporter’s e-mail. And to make it official, I am going to announce it with pride:

Boiling Frogs Post does not provide coverage or generate hits for the highly dependent and influenced, unreliable and already proven illegitimate mainstream media players. You may consider this an official boycott.

Does this mean it takes me much longer and costs me more time and energy to research and find far more reputable alternative sources for noteworthy news and editorials every night? You bet. Let me give you an example. For that Liebowitz & Israel Espionage story I found far more accurate and comprehensive coverage. And that’s what I published for you that same day. Not only that, in addition to the newsworthy information I also helped show how ‘news & info’ gets to be twisted, sanitized and then delivered by the same top culprits in the MSM. Here is my alternative to the garbage printed by the dependent NY Times:

The New York Times Twisted the Facts in FBI Wiretap of Israel

This is what we mean by providing alternative and completely independent news, editorials, interviews and video at Boiling Frogs Post. To continue this and to be successful at it we must remain ‘Independent.’ This means: not a penny from the corporate media. Not a cent from corporate foundations from Soros to Rockefellers to Carnegie. It also means ‘zero’ partisanship and no party alliances. Then, how do we make this happen??!!

We solely depend on you to exist, continue, move forward, and expand. So please do your share and support us with your subscription. Let us show that it is ‘possible.’ Thank you.

Support Boiling Frogs Post & Let Us Show that it is ‘Possible’


BFP Subscription Countdown Day 2

We say ‘we don’t want corporate media.’ We know that Corporate-Foundation sponsored quasi alternative information sites are equally suspect and under the influence. We admit to the destructive nature of partisan groupings when it comes to news and analyses forums. We want a website that is completely free of corporate money and advertisements, totally detached from agenda-driven foundational sponsorship, and absolutely nonpartisan.

Well, we got it, and here we are: The Boiling Frogs Post. We solely depend on you to exist, continue, move forward, and expand. Please do your share and support us with your subscription. Let us show that it is ‘possible.’

SEDear BFP Irate Minority Members & Supporters,

Last month I provided you with a heads up on coming changes, improvements and expansions to the Boiling Frogs Post. We are now ready to begin the third phase of this independent and nonpartisan website for the members of our irate minority community. A little more than two years ago I started this site as a simple blog. To my surprise (pleasant surprise, that is), very quickly, my simple little ‘blog spot’ began to gain the attention of like-minded readers and supporters. Together we raised this ‘blog spot’ to more of a ‘site.’ And we kept growing. I then began forming partnerships with like-minded friends: Those free of corporate attachments, foundation strings, and partisan blinders:

Peter B Collins and I have been bringing you our one of its kind podcast interview series; with no commercials, and no corporate or foundation sponsorship.

Paul Jamiol has been presenting to you hard-hitting and critical thought provoking editorial-political cartoons.

Elizabeth Gould and Paul Fitzgerald have brought you un-matched analyses and articles on issues rarely-touched by mainstream and pseudo alternatives.

nightly newsBeginning in July this year we started providing you with a nightly news and editorial roundup. Every weeknight we publish a comprehensive list of significant news articles and truly independent critical editorial pieces, selected and filtered from the best and most independent sources. You may have noticed the absence of bologna sold as news by publications such as The New York Times and Washington Post. Call it a kind of a boycott, if you like ;-) Read more
