I am seeing that its getting more and more difficult to find true alternative news and “conspiracy sites” due to censorship and my suspicion (as most of us are aware of this censorship) is that this trend will continue until its next to impossible for the average internet user to find any alternative information on topics that really matter.
Why don’t we on this site create a permanent link on this site with a list of all or most alternative sites and make sure its duplicated or mirrored across multiple other alternative sites so that its always available? I do know there is a thread on such links, but I think one has to search for it, thus a link would remove one or two extra steps for the end user.

Maybe we can also get our members who are part of other websites to approach admins in those sites and other alternative site to do the same so that this information can never be fully censored. I think such a move is tied to survival of this site as an alternative site. The fact that we can still find projectavalon.net in search engines is no guarantee that this will continue in the future. If someone has a better idea, I would love to hear it. Thanks

I'm in fact pulling together such a list that I'm also proposing I include in the Avalon Library. It's been largely inspired by this thread, here: A list of websites for good alternative information (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?59681-A-list-of-websites-for-good-alternative-information/page6) and members' contributions. :thumbsup:

And this thread, recently started: What are your sources of information on the web
(http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?106321-What-are-your-sources-of-information-on-the-web-Who-do-you-trust)
What is always advisable to do is to bookmark sites although not being a smartphone user I'm uncertain how easy that is to do via smartphone platforms.

It's also extremely important to download any videos/material on various sites that you find to be compelling and important for revealing the truth of otherwise twisted disinformation.

These 'backups' can then be uploaded to the net in the future when required.

I can’t write much now but wanted to show my support for this threads title.

This and the entire censorship Orewellian nightmare we are witnessing is such a serious and dangerous concern almost nothing else compares.

Thanks Tintin and everyone else for participating. I was thinking more along the lines of having a link maybe under “site links” on http://www.projectavalon.net where it would be accessible easily to anyone that visit the site. And a couple or so designated members or modes can always update the content so that the links remain up to date. In such an example, you Tintin would post what you already have now and you can add more links as you find them. As soon as it is updated it would reflect on any alternative site that has the same link. However, the question to add a link to the site may be directed towards Bill Ryan, the web designer and or mod team.

I think many will agree that the situation is so critical that if we do not start taking counter measures now, it will be much more difficult to win this war of your mind. I would love to see some of us approaching as many alternative sites as is possible to put up the same link once we have one. The content would be the same and common among as many alternative sites as possible. While book marking is great for those that already know the sites, any new researchers would not have such an option readily available and it is important that new researchers find this information.
