Rick Wiles is the father of “citizen reporting.” He pioneered alternative media long before the arrival of blogs and podcasts. On May 24, Trunews started its 16th consecutive year of news reporting. The program is heard on the Internet, BlogTalkRadio.com, three powerful worldband shortwave radio stations, and 50,000 watt KBXD in Dallas/Ft. Worth. Trunews has an extremely loyal audience around the world. The program is 100% listener-supported. Trunews owns an 11,000 square foot office building in Vero Beach, FL where it produces the daily newscast. Guests include members of the US Congress, members of the European Parliament, members of the British Parliament, scientists, astronauts, climatologists, billionaires, investors, top-selling authors, and retired US generals. Respected guests include billionaire Jim Rogers, Swiss investor Marc Faber, EU Parliament member Nigel Farage, Georgia Congressman Paul Broun, retired US General Paul Vallele, retired US General Jerry Boykin, retired CIA special operations officer Clare Lopez, former NASA scientist John Casey, international businessman Simon Black, futurist Chris Martenson, obesity expert Dr. Robert Lustig, and Lord Christopher Monckton.
