We Are At War!
Information Is Our Only Weapon
Who
will stand against the war machine, who will have the courage to take
the personal abuse and government threats, who will work to catalog the
lies and deceit? Information Clearing House will !!!
History is a good predictor of future behavior
While
the main stream and much of the alternative media were shining up
their patriotic lapel pins, ICH was bring you the facts, and countering
the misinformation and propaganda that led so many of our children and
those of other nations, being led to the slaughter.
Are we warriors for Peace and Justice or Pavlovian dogs, passively consuming government propaganda as it manufactures consent for yet another war of aggression?
We must refuse to be manipulated, We must refuse to be silent witnesses to more torture and human suffering.
We must have a community where we can support each other and share our ideals based on mutual respect for all human life regardless of race, nationality, religion or culture. You can help make this possible.

we do not end war - war will end us. Everybody says that, millions of
people believe it, and nobody does anything. - H.G. Wells, Things to

world has achieved brilliance without wisdom, power without
conscience. Ours is a world of nuclear giants and ethical infants. We
know more about war that we know about peace, more about killing
that we know about living." - Omar Bradley
