A list of websites for good alternative information

[CurEus]

I mentioned in another thread today that referenced this thread.

It seems that the veracity of some of the "credible" websites shifts over time into the realm of fantasy speculation and fantastic claims. I can't help but wonder if VT and others are set up as a "credible" sites so that later on they can then be used to sew discord and plant disinformation. It certainly happened to most newspapers, magazines, and network newscasts. Although from what I here agency handlers are sitting in the TV studios these days....

I thin we need to update this listing a bit.....

We must remain ever vigilant it seems.

Freedom must ever be coupled with responsibility....was it Thomas Jefferson who said something to that effect?

Greetings Master!


This week I'd like to take a moment to tell you about our first Constellations! Modern Masters' Constellations are projects, campaigns, organizations, and businesses that are earnestly working to bring a new, beautiful world closer to us.

As we progress in our partnerships with and support of these constellations, our members will be able to benefit from and contribute to these inspiring projects. Through our partnership with these Constellations, you'll receive discounts, free memberships, and front-row seats to the unfolding of the world we all long for.

Our first constellation is the Peace Through Forgiveness Project. The Peace Through Forgiveness project aims to inspire One Billion people around the world and to involve them in regular forgiveness practices.

Read more about the Peace Through Forgiveness project, and why the MM team is involved here.

The second Constellation is Uni-Wiki. Uni-Wiki is co-authored by the Modern Masters team and Fade To Black. It is designed to empower humanity by creating a space where all knowledge is respected and all human experience is upheld. Most immediately, it will do this by providing a site for organizing knowledge, defining issues and presenting the research of the paranormal and consciousness community.

Uni-Wiki is just beginning, and you can read more about it here! https://uniwiki.org/wiki/Main_Page

Bumping thread.

Perhaps no one is interested or this just was not seen due to time posted. ??

I see value here with this new site. Anyone else feel the same? Thanks.

Found this “400 links google doesn’t want you to visit” on this site and am intrigued by it. Still trying to find sites within this archive that I don’t have to wonder about if they are accurate or not, any ideas/favorites?
Thanks

[Jax_realm]

Thanks a lot

Ohhhhhhhhh I fell like I have won the lottery!

I wish I could read 100x faster but would probably go insane with information overload!
Thank you to everyone who are contributing, this is truly a gift for inquiring minds!

[UPDATE] >>> OffGuardian website

They will be experiencing some downtime shortly due to a server move and upgrade

___________________________

OffG Is Moving…Again
Source: https://off-guardian.org/2020/11/20/...-moving-again/

Last year, in response to increased traffic, OffG had to move to a new host server.

This year, the coronavirus happened. And as such our traffic has increased even more. So we need to move to a new server…again.

The new server will be faster, bigger and – most importantly – more secure. So we can (hopefully) look forward to less disruption from DDOS attacks in the future.

This process should not take more than a few days, and – if all goes as planned – will result in little to no downtime. However, there are a few things everyone should know:

- We will be closing all comment sections for the 24 hours prior to the move.
- We will not be posting any new articles for the 24 hours prior to the move.

Both of these decisions are designed to make sure no data is lost in the transfer.

There might be some downtime while the new IP is propagating.

The specific date is yet to be decided, but it will definitely be before the end of November. We will announce it when it is known, and will be pinning posts on all our social media with the relevant details.

A final word of thanks to all our supporters, without whom this move would not be possible.

How many of those websites are now being bought up and run by the intel companies without exposing the purchases? Their funds seem endless, considering that many are taxpayer fed.
And Yes, the use of the word "fed" means federal, pernicious, parasitic, and the best corruption that taxpayer funding can buy. Of course without your knowledge and certainly hidden in the details, excused by the illusions of the threats they have created.

I do wonder whether this thread needs reviewing at all. Not a criticism, but it's been some while I think and I'm not sure how many of these sites are still in operation - please consider these two sentences just a housekeeping note for now

Here is one of my all time favourites, hands down one of the best out there and one I periodically dip into:

http://www.gnosis.org/

And as permanently bookmarked as is possible to do the page/s specific to the Apocryphon of John which never fails to fascinate:

http://www.gnosis.org/naghamm/nhl_sbj.htm

An extract:

Among the several dozen ancient Gnostic manuscripts rediscovered in modern times, the Secret Book of John is generally agreed to be the most important. It has been called the locus classicus for the Gnostic mythological system – in sum, it is the preeminent “Gnostic Gospel”, a sacred reservoir for the defining essence of Gnostic myth and revelation. It breathes with the life of vision that vitalized early Christianity, a life suppressed and then largely forgotten in later ages. From a modern reading of this crucially important and recently rediscovered "Gospel", we are granted fundamental insights into the lost foundations of Christian tradition.

Apocryphon Iohannis – the Apocryphon of John – is the title that appears on the original manuscripts, and by this title the text has been known in scholarly circles over the last fifty years. In Greek, apocryphon literally means “hidden” or “secret”, thus in recent popular literature the title is usually translated as either the Secret Book of John or The Secret Revelation of John.

Saint John the Evangelist, by El GrecoBy its own declaration, the Secret Book of John is a sacred text intended to be shared only with individuals properly prepared to receive its revelation. In second-century Christian communions circulation of the text probably remained restricted. Amazingly, despite limited circulation and the effective later efforts by evolving Christian orthodoxy to destroy all such “heretical” scriptures, four separate manuscripts of the SBJ have survived into our own age. Three of these were found among the Nag Hammadi codices discovered in 1945, while a fourth copy was independently recovered fifty years earlier from another site in Egypt. All four versions date to the fourth century. Three of the four appear to be independently produced Coptic translations of an original text in Greek. Two of the four manuscripts (NHC II and NHC IV) are so similar that they most likely represent copies of a single common source.

To put in context the uniqueness of finding four complete copies of a document of this extreme antiquity, note that we possess only two fairly complete manuscripts of the canonical gospels of equal age (the Codex Vaticanus and Sinaiticus). Only a few fragments of canonical texts with dates of creation earlier than the fourth century have survived. These four manuscripts of the Apocryphon of John represent some of the oldest known surviving books. From the ancient sands of Egypt, they come to our modern age bearing a timeless message.

The Secret Book of John is the one Gnostic text every student seeking to understand the roots of ancient Christianity must read. At first reading it will seem unlike anything encountered in the New Testament – excepting perhaps the Apocalypse of John. Like the Apocalypse, this too is a revelation text, a secret and sacred vision. It is the story of God, and by reflection, the story of Humankind – a penetrating psychological reflection on the source of consciousness and the existential predicament of an eternal light indwelling life. It is not an intellectual curiosity, nor is it a text to be "surfed", in the perverse sense of modern internet reading. As Prof. Karen King notes:

In antiquity, readers studied the Secret Revelation of John in order to perfect the divine image of their souls; it was composed, translated, and distributed largely to further salvation—or to refute its claims to aid in salvation. In the modern world, however, it has rarely been read with such goals in mind. It usually finds its place either in the theology of orthodox Christianity as a chapter on Gnostic heresy or in disputes about the historical origins and definition of Gnosticism. Within the academy more narrowly its value largely has to do with intellectual production and prestige, including concerns about tenure and promotion—salvation, if you will, of a rather different sort. As the Secret Revelation of John becomes known more widely, we may expect it to have new and varied impacts on early Christian historiography, constructive theology, and personal appropriation. In any case, modern readers do not stand outside the work's history, but take it up on a new historical stage. (King, p 23)

The resources in this collection are intended to assist study of the Secret Revelation—the Secret Book, the Apocryphon—of John, to help it become more widely known, to aid the "personal appropriation" by modern readers who now surprisingly find themselves part of its history.

In addition to the materials presented here, we strongly advise serious students obtain two excellent books. The first is Stevan Davies' superb new translation of The Secret Book of John. Davies has produced a readable translation that is profoundly true to the source material: it is both accurate and beautiful. Davies' translation is accompanied by an excellent verse by verse commentary on facing pages. For any reader, this is the place to start. The second book is Karen King's The Secret Revelation of John. This is an extensive and scholarly – but still very readable – study of the text and the cultural milieu that influenced and in turn was influenced by the Apocryphon Iohannis.

I encounter this phenomenon quite often ... Is it me 'outgrowing' the views and information shared by an independent content creator, or does that ICC become more 'radically bogged down' in a particular narrative, or does the ICC embrace sensationalism at the expense of rationality to get clicks?

Ancient texts are timeless, like the Gnostic texts, but even a commentator on those texts can be limited in knowledge and interpretation and can be vulnerable to getting bogged down in a personal point of view or fall prey to producing content for clicks or donations.

So, I do not see the contributions here as having to meet some kind of standard but rather as additions to a library where you may freely read what you wish (a comment or description with the contribution is always useful), then move on.

@TinTin ... I have always been drawn to Gnosticism so heartfelt thanks for your useful post.
