Justin King is an investigative journalist and political analyst whose work has appeared in MintPress News, The Fifth Column, AntiMedia, and Digital Journal. Known to millions as “Beau” (formerly Beau of the Fifth Column), he has built a reputation as one of independent media’s most distinctive and uncompromising voices. He previously served as editor of The Fifth Column.
His mission as a journalist is simple: to document the world and, in the process, make it a little better. He has been called an agitator — a label he wears proudly. If his articles get under your skin, he has done his job. He writes to move readers from spectators to participants in the story.
King is known for telling stories from the side the establishment would rather silence. He points out that every major change in history started with people perceived as “bad guys” — and that failing to present the minority view isn’t journalism. As he puts it: if the practices that pass for journalism today were applied throughout history, our only knowledge of Robin Hood would be quotes from the Sheriff of Nottingham, Harriet Tubman would just be a woman smuggling stolen goods, and the French Resistance would be dismissed as bandits.
So when people accuse him of showcasing the unpopular side, he just smiles.

A practical guide for anarchists of every variety on the concrete steps needed to build a more self-reliant, organized movement — from force multiplication and counter-economics to forming alliances and ending factional infighting.
Viyan Antar, 19, was killed fighting Islamic State forces in Northern Syria last month. Undoubtedly, Viyan, like many Kurdish fighters, was gorgeous. Western media outlets sought to capitalize on the death of the “Kurdish Angelina Jolie”. Her photo was plastered all over the media. Her death was used to further the march for war in Syria. Had this been a US soldier, the incident would have been forgotten before her body was cold. In this case, the media’s treatment of the young Kurdish fighter unleashed a firestorm of criticism and sparked multiple debates.
