Alternative Media and the Pursuit of Truth: Part 3
UnHerd, OffGuardian, and Tablet Magazine.
This is the third article in a series on alternative media. Part 1 can be found here, and Part 2 can be found here. Before getting to the next three sources, here’s a reminder of the purpose of this series along with important disclaimers (from Part 2):
In the first article of this series, I explained why alternative media is essential to finding the truth. Many larger and traditionally trusted media platforms are failing to report all the facts; some are even actively concealing the truth and instead reporting false narratives. Consequently, I wanted to share some of the best alternative media sources I’ve found in order to help others find the truth. . . .
As a reminder, providing the links below is not necessarily an endorsement of everything on these sites; rather, I share these sites because they are willing to report facts and evidence that many other sites will not and because they are willing to follow that evidence wherever it leads. Even if we ultimately come to different conclusions from some of the authors, their willingness to engage with facts and evidence is commendable.
Here are three more sites for Part 3:
UnHerd
I first learned of UnHerd in 2020 when I came across one of their “LockdownTV” episodes on YouTube (linked below). Freddie Sayers, the interviewer in these videos, intently listened to scientists and public health officials who questioned the devastating lockdowns and other interventions imposed by governments around the world. Sayers serves as the Executive Editor of UnHerd and serves alongside a team of individuals who are committed to both truth and freedom. As the website explains, “UnHerd aims to do two things: to push back against the herd mentality with new and bold thinking, and to provide a platform for otherwise unheard ideas, people and places.” Below is a link to the website’s homepage, its YouTube channel (truly excellent videos), and links to several of the best articles and videos I’ve found.
“The Danger of Safetyism” (article by Matthew Crawford)
OffGuardian
OffGuardian has been an incredibly valuable resource over the past two years. Not only does the site link to a great deal of data and evidence, but its commentary on many larger world issues has been so accurate it’s almost prescient. Specifically, OffGuardian has published articles on covid passports, digital currencies, and many more issues that have uncovered larger agendas behind many popular narratives. Here’s more from the website:
“OffGuardian was launched in February 2015 and takes its name from the fact its founders had all been censored on and/or banned from the Guardian’s ‘Comment is Free’ sections. Our editors & admins are based in the US, UK & Europe.
OffG is dedicated to open discourse and free expression, and will often host articles on both sides of any particular issue. Unless stated otherwise all opinions reflect the views of the author, not the site or its editors.”
“How Google and Wikipedia Brainwash You”
“‘Programmable Digital Currency’: The next stage of the new normal?”
“30 facts you NEED to know: Your Covid Cribsheet”
“The Propaganda War (Part II)”
“Covid19 Death Figures ‘A Substantial Over-Estimate’” (from April 2020!)
“COVID 19 is a Statistical Nonsense” (May 2020)
“12 Experts Questioning the Coronavirus Panic” (March 2020)
Tablet Magazine
Some of the most powerful articles I’ve read in the past year have come from Tablet Magazine. Like all sites, I may not agree with everything published by this “daily online magazine of Jewish news, ideas, and culture,” but the content I have read is incredibly thought-provoking. Moreover, the articles I’ve read (especially the articles below) are not only excellent sources of information but can truly stir both the heart and mind. Below is a link to the homepage as well as some of the best articles I’ve read.
“The Masked Ball of Cowardice”
“I Have Been Through This Before”
“How the Pandemic Is Changing the Norms of Science”
