When it comes to the greatest American reporter of the truth, there is no one that rose to the level of Robert Parry......no one. It is as simple as that. He and his Consortium News team have led the global awakening with honest determination and wonderful integrity. He is truly an admirable human being and was consistent in his approach to attaining and reporting factual information about global politics and wars for profit. The world has lost a shining light today. He has raised the bar for all of us, and I, for one, am respectfully sad for his family, friends and the global community today. May his life long examples for all of us live on and grow into a beautiful tree with strong healthy branches and ripe fruit so we can continue to wake people up and make this world a much better place. He has played a major role in all of our journeys, whether many realize it or not. Thank you Caitlin for a lovely tribute to him on this very solemn day.
