Craig Murray is a Scottish historian, journalist and acclaimed human rights activist. He is a former 22 year career diplomat amd Ambassador.

After his five months reporting from the frontline in Lebanon a year ago, he is now heading to Venezuela to report from that current target of USA aggression.

The aim is to counter the bias of billionaire and western state owned mainstream media.

Written articles, video broadcasts, TV segments for Byoblu and frequent interviews with other alternative media outlets are planned.

Unfortunately this is expensive. A full time interpreter, a local cinematographer, and a driver with vehicle prepared to travel with the team to at risk areas, are required as well as accommodation, workspace, research and production assistance. Plus Craig has to eat.

Craig has launched into this, from his own pocket, with faith that enough people are sick of being fed lies, to support true reporting from the ground.
