Subject: Happy New Year from CEIMSA in 2020.
January
2, 2020
Dear Colleagues and Friends of CEIMSA,
We take this opportunity to wish you a successful and satisfying New
Year, pregnant with new challenges and creative fulfillment.
As usual, instead of superficial presentations of events and fragmented
appearances of optimistic illusions, we at Ceimsa
continue to present thought-provoking materials related to current events from
which satisfaction can be derived only by persistent thought and deliberate
actions (strategies and tactics).
We wish you a most productive and rewarding new year ahead . . . .
Sincerely,
Francis Feeley

Subject: [MCM] The top 25 censored stories of 2018-2019 (MUST-READ)
“THE
TOP 25 CENSORED STORIES OF 2018-2019”
https://www.projectcensored.org/category/the-top-25-censored-stories-of-2018-2019/
The presentation of the Top 25 stories of 2018-2019 extends the tradition originated by Professor Carl Jensen and his Sonoma State University students in 1976, while reflecting how the expansion of the Project to include affiliate faculty and students from campuses across North America has made the Project even more diverse and robust. During this year’s cycle, Project Censored reviewed over 300 Validated Independent News stories (VINs) representing the collective efforts of 283 college students and 24 professors from 15 college and university campuses that participated in the Project’s Campus Affiliates Program during the past year.
