I like Mike Rivero's site (WRH) quite a lot though I disagree with him completely with regards to global warming (climate intensification is a better term anyway) being a fraud (regardless of if the proposed mitigations/solutions of the problem are valid or not – those are separate questions) and healthcare reform as something we should reject. Sadly, in those areas I feel that he uses spurious logic and questionable tactics in constructing his arguments of the type that are usually found in much of the propaganda he attacks quite effectively elsewhere.

whatreallyhappened.com is The Most Important news website on the Internet. Mike Rivero analyses current events through the lens of a deep knowledge of history. And he's got a great sense of humor that all his website and radio fans love.

WHR is more interesting then other similar sites, because it links you to a wider variety of articles, and leaves more space for the reader.

Bravo Michael Rivero
I also first came into contact with WRH after 9-11 and stayed throughout the attack on Afghanistan and the run-up and attack on Iraq. I would add the site is steadfastly anti-war, on principled grounds, but Rivero enjoys pointing out the hypocrisy and tactical disasters as they occur. The WRH photo-essays of the global anti-war rallies were inspiring.
I also appreciate Rivero exposing Israeli atrocities against the indigenous Palestinians; that takes effort and courage to confront. WRH walks a fine line and has occasionally slid into material of questionable antisemitic origin. It's a minor point but a well organized propaganda apparatus can exploit those missteps to discredit an otherwise excellent resource. I prefer the straight facts like the way B'tselem presents them. Can't really accuse them of antisemitism.
I consider Rivero to be a libertarian capitalist like Ron Paul and Peter Schiff. I'm more of a leftist but WRH is my landing page. I always find excellent links about human rights or cover-ups.
As you pointed out, Rivero has also expertly uncovered some crude photographic propaganda such as the fake al-Qaida Israeli agents with their feigned expressions of shame standing without handcuffs or shit covered hoods between two 'IDF commandos'. Or can we ever forget the 'many faces of bin Laden' time-line? The photographic analyses are so devastating most dingbats can't look at them or discuss them intelligently after they look.

I've been a steady reader of WhatReallyHappened.com for seven or eight years now and find it THE most informative of alternative sites. Mike keeps his cool and sense of humour, something I greatly appreciate. This man is one atheist who will certainly have a grand place in heaven. E Pono Mai!

I love WRH. I discovered it in early January and it was an excellent source of information during the Gaza assault, along with a couple of other sites.

Rivero needs to start selling politically-themed punching bags, though. Those of us addicted to his site need some way to vent our rage after each visit!
