A Bird's Eye View

The bird is the word! Here are some of the things going in the world - but presented in a manner not seen on the idiot box.

T

here is a lot of confusing stuff going on in the world, and the mainstream media doesn't always get it right. But never fear, the Underground Network crew is here! We're distilling it down to bite-sized chunks so that you understand what's really going on. Or at least sound intelligent at that next [insert presidential candidate name] rally!

We are filling in this information as we speak, so be patient. If you have some ideas, send us a message.

Corporate influence control over gov't.

TPP

See "Free Trade"

Brexit

Britain voting to leave the European Union (NOT EUROPE - Europe's been around far longer than the EU!)

Far Left

The secret code-word for "You are a whacko if you subscribe to these views" (See Far-Right)
