Globalresearch

Globalresearch is a LaRoucheite "anti-Western" webshite that can't distinguish between serious analysis and discreditable junk — and so publishes both. It's basically the tankie equivalent to Infowars or WND.
While some of GlobalResearch's articles discuss legitimate humanitarian concerns, its view of science, economics, and geopolitics is conspiracist — if something goes wrong, the Jews West didit! The site has long been a crank magnet: If you disagree with "Western" sources on 9/11, or HAARP, or vaccines, or H1N1, or climate change, or anything published by the "mainstream" media, then GlobalResearch is guaranteed to have a page you will love.
The website (under the domain names , , , and sister site ) is run by the Montreal-based non-profit The Centre for Research on Globalisation (CRG) founded by Michel Chossudovsky ,About GlobalResearch (archived from May 20, 2019).Contact GlobalResearch (archived from April 3, 2020). a professor emeritus of economics at the University of Ottawa, Canada.Michel Chossudovsky University of Ottawa (archived from March 10, 2013).
Whenever someone makes a remarkable claim and cites GlobalResearch, they are almost certainly wrong. GlobalResearch is such a bad reference that it has been put on the anti-spam blacklist for English Wikipedia.MediaWiki talk:Spam-blacklist: Difference between revisions Wikipedia.
Do not confuse Globalresearch with globalnews.ca, which is a perfectly ordinary news site, basically the Canadian equivalent to CNN.
==What it thinks it is==
GlobalResearch describes itself as "one of the leading alternative news media in North America" and believes it is a repository for "news articles, in-depth reports and analysis on issues which are barely covered by the mainstream media". GlobalResearch is strongly anti-capitalist,. GlobalResearch.. GlobalResearch. anti-imperialist,. GlobalResearch. and anti-globalist.. GlobalResearch.
==Scope==
Because many of its articles are reposts from other sites (and in turn other sites repost from GlobalResearch), it is hard to determine the reception GlobalResearch receives. As of February 2016, GlobalResearch itself asserted that it has more than 6.92 million page views and more than 2.7 million unique visitors per month. Its YouTube had over 23,000 subscribers and 3.4 million viewsAbout GlobalResearchTV (Joined Nov 4, 2008) YouTube (archived from June 16, 2017). and its Facebook had over 279k likes as of April 2020.GlobalResearchCRG Facebook (archived from April 4, 2020). Alexa ranked globalresearch.ca at 19,710th worldwide (a lot of traffic),globalresearch.ca Alexa (archived from 5 Apr 2020 05:45:48 UTC). while globalresearch.orgglobalresearch.org Alexa (archived from 5 Apr 2020 05:53:23 UTC). globalresearch.com,globalresearch.com Alexa (archived from 5 Apr 2020 05:54:08 UTC). and mondialisation.camondialisation.ca Alexa (archived from 5 Apr 2020 05:54:30 UTC). had virtually no traffic.
==Noted sources==
Globalresearch acts as both a fake news clearinghouse, and as a source for originally-written fake news as attributed to "Global Research News"Global Research News — Archive Global Research News (archived from April 2, 2020). or "Global Research".Global Research — Archive Global Research News (archived from April 2, 2020). Globalresearch contributors are happy to source information from anyone who seems vaguely aligned with their ideology, even if said contributors are full of horseshit:
==Conspiracy theories==
Despite presenting itself as a source of scholarly analysis, Global Research mostly consists of polemicists. The prevalent strand is that a New World Order is being implemented by global elites (primarily governments and corporations)."The Globalization of Poverty: Deconstructing the New World Order" by Michel Chossudovsky (May 17, 2017) Global Research (archived from March 29, 2020).World Bank Whistleblower Reveals How the Global Elite Rules the World by Michael Snyder, The Economic Collapse Blog (30 September 2013) via Global Research (February 21, 2018) (archived from March 29, 2020). Many of the articles accept conspiracy theories, pseudoscience, and propaganda in order to further this narrative.

===FBI Refuses to Uncover Plot to Assassinate Occupy Leaders===
This article is a truly beautiful example of the site's moonbattery.FBI Refuses to Uncover Plot to Assassinate Occupy Leaders by Joshua Krause, Activist Post (15 February 2015) via Global Research (February 16, 2015) (archived from March 21, 2020). In the real world, Freedom of Information Act request was sent for details on an assassination plot for members of the Occupy Houston movement. The FBI argued that the documents are legally exempted from the Freedom of Information Act, because they contained the identities of confidential sources who were members of organized violent groups.Occupy Houston assassination plot records won't be released by Dylan Baddour (Updated 12:11 pm, Wednesday, February 11, 2015) Houston Chronicle (archived from November 22, 2015).FBI Gets OK on Alleged Murder Plot Info Cache by Cameron Langford (February 06, 2015; Last Update: 9:46 AM PT) Courthouse News Service (archived from April 16, 2015).[redacted Plans to Engage in Attacks against Protestors in Houston] (12 October 2011) FBI Intelligence Watch Report (archived from 5 Apr 2020 19:41:44 UTC). In the Globalresearch world, Chussodovsky quotes:
From this, Joshua Krause, writing for Global Research, concludes:FBI Refuses to Uncover Plot to Assassinate Occupy Leaders by Joshua Krause, Activist Post (15 February 2015) via Global Research (February 16, 2015) (archived from March 21, 2020).
Global Research is engaging in classic conspiracist JAQing off: rather than actually trying to find out what the FBI did, or waiting for the details on the group to be revealed, Global Research fills in the blanks with The Big Bad United States Government, providing no reasons to believe this, but merely hoping that the lack of counterevidence is sufficient.
===The Doctrine of Superior People: The Bond between Israel and World Zionism===
Globalresearch approvingly reuses James Petras' article, which borders on antisemitism. Petras writes:
It's one thing for Petras to disprove Jewish supremacist arguments, which are fundamentally racialist and irrational. It's wholly another to assert that Jews worldwide knowingly conspire to control the events of the world. (This was quite literally Hitler's worldview in reference to the Jews, whom he blamed for every international event.)
Petras describes centuries of Jewish thought with:
Yet surely the highly religious Christian and Islamic societies of the time had exactly the same problem; singling out Judaism for this treatment is suspicious.
Petras writes:
Petras fails to consider that Jews likely avoided being visibly Jewish because of antisemitism, and manages to paint 1800s-1950s Europe as "highly secular".
Petras also does not distinguish between being ethnically Jewish and being religiously Jewish (you can be one without being the other), and ignores the fact that Jewish cultural traditions arising from Judaism are often still found within non-practicing Jews. He writes:
Einstein, for example, truly discarded Judaism and became an atheist/deist. But he did not show disdain for his ethnic background, and expressed identification and solidarity with fellow Jews.
Petras continues with:
The article then proceeds to list a whole bunch of Jews who have done terrible things. One can't imagine why they'd leave those people off lists meant to celebrate pride. Why doesn't the LGBT community include in their list of historical LGBT people? Surely they must be hiding something!
For articles like these, the Jewish Tribune described Globalresearch as "rife with anti-Jewish conspiracy theories and Holocaust denial". In response, Chussodovsky argues that Globalresearch is "anti-Zionist, not antisemitic". It appears that Globalresearch is completely unable to distinguish the line between anti-Zionism and antisemitism, much like it is unable to distinguish the line between "anti-Western" conspiracies and genuine news, and so ends up supporting both.
The antisemitism (and anti-globalism) on Globalresearch is either remarkable or explainable by Chossudovsky's background. Chossudovsky is the son of a Russian Jewish emigré with a distinguished UN career (Evgeny Chossudovsky), and Michel Chossudovsky claims that his father supported the Palestinian cause, the Centre for Research on Globalization and Global Research.Evgeny Chossudovsky: Writer with a distinguished UN career The Irish Times (18 January 2006) via Global Research (February 12, 2006) (archived from March 27, 2020). Global Research was not as far as is known flirting with antisemitism prior to Evgeny's death.
==="America is on a 'Hot War Footing': House Legislation Paves the Way for War with Russia?"===
Globalresearch asserts that most of mainstream media is ultimately controlled by NATO and the US government.America is on a "Hot War Footing": House Legislation Paves the Way for War with Russia? by Michel Chossudovsky (December 05, 2014) Global Research (archived from March 27, 2020).
Globalresearch is correct that no major news sources covered the resolution, (though the Ron Paul InstituteReckless Congress 'Declares War' on Russia by Ron Paul (December 4, 2014) Ron Paul Institute for Peace and Prosperity (archived from March 27, 2020). and InquisitrUkraine: Lethal Aid And Weapons Authorized By U.S. House Resolution 758, Will Obama Take On Vladimir Putin? by by Patrick Frye (December 7, 2014) The Inqusitr. both managed to get their digs in) but they fail to provide any reason to believe that the media "has been instructed not to cover" the issue, rather than looking for more viewer-enticing stories — say, the graphic war that's actually going on in Ukraine. Moreover, a resolution is not a bill — it merely says that Congress is really, really pissed at Russia,H.Res.758 — Strongly condemning the actions of the Russian Federation, under President Vladimir Putin, which has carried out a policy of aggression against neighboring countries aimed at political and economic domination. 113th Congress (2013-2014) Congress.gov. rather than putting it on "hot war footing".
===Miscellaneous anti-Western bias===
Globalresearch appears to fully believe that the West can do no right, and anything which opposes the "West" (i.e., the US and its allies) can do no wrong. It can be argued they're justified in this thinking, seeing how it was the West that started the Iraq War, the West that overthrew Salvador Allende and instated neoliberal criminal Pinochet as dictator of Chile, alongside the West's long history of colonial "ventures" (read: imperialism) overseas as just mere examples. Examples:
*During the 2011 Libyan civil war the site was an apologist for Muammar al-Gaddafi, reproducing his propaganda and painting him as a paragon of a modern leader.Why the NATO powers are trying to assassinate Moammar Gaddafi: Protecting civilians or western oil companies? by Brian Becker (June 13, 2011) Global Research (archived from March 26, 2020).Libya: Ten Things About Gaddafi They Don’t Want You to Know Urban Times (16 May 2014) via Global Research (November 30, 2018) (archived from march 28, 2020).

==Russian propaganda? Conspiracy theories about GlobalResearch==
GlobalResearch is listed in Andrew Weisburd's Disinfo Network, based on how many other alleged disinfo sites referred to said website during the height of the Ukraine crisis.The Fringes of Disinfo: A Network Based on Referrers (2016 February 07) Aktivnyye Meropriyatiya (archived from March 29, 2016). This supports the above section, which notes that many of GlobalResearch's sources are Russian government or extremely pro-Russian authors. GlobalResearch is also listed in the Washington Post's PropOrNot list of sites that "Reliably Echo Russian Propaganda".An Initial Set of Sites That Reliably Echo Russian Propaganda (November 30, 2016) Is It Propaganda Or Not?.
Fringe-ier websites have taken the same stance. Websites ToInformIsToInfluenceRussian Propaganda Expose: GlobalResearch (November 3, 2014) To Inform is to Influence (archived from November 12, 2014). The site alleges that Globalresearch is a paid shill. and MadCowNewsTrue Lies: Canada's Global Research Trolls the Internet by Daniel Hopsicker (August 14, 2014) MadCowNews. both make the similar arguments and come to the same conclusion.
All that said, the simpler solution (which also explains everything GlobalResearch has done) is to simply assume that GlobalResearch is merely a nutty anti-Western site, rather than a knowing member of the Russian disinformation conspiracy.
