My Top Information Sources and Some Astounding News
Jan. 27, 2004
Dear
friends,
I
find that when government dominates media, the Internet is the most
powerful tool to stay informed. To keep up on news not covered in the
mainstream media, I depend on some great, alternative information
sources. As several people have asked about this, I'm
sending you this email with these excellent news summaries and how
to subscribe to them. I've also got links to two dynamite articles below the
summaries. I largely depend on three free (donation-based) Internet news
sources.
Truth-Out sends
out one daily email giving only the headlines of about 10 articles. They
provide a link for each headline if you want to read the full article. I
simply scan the headlines for anything that grabs me. Many days nothing grabs
me and I move through the email in less than a minute. Other days, I find two
or three fascinating articles which I don't find in the general media. I
find Truth-Out's information to be highly reliable and useful. To get on
their list, see www.truthout.org and
click on "Subscribe" near the bottom of the page.
GlobalCirclenet sends
out emails once or twice a week. Each email lists and numbers 10 to
25 headlines. Underneath this concise list, you can read a summary of the
article or sometimes the entire article. Links to the original sources are
usually provided. Besides thumbnail excerpts, readers are provided links to
many news sources largely unknown in the U.S and elsewhere. Subscribe with an
email to:
globalnetnews-summary-subscribe@yahoogroups.com
Information Clearing House (ICH) sends out a daily email giving headlines and brief summaries of
a good number of articles, with links to original sources. This one takes a
little more time to go through, as there is no list of headlines. Even so, if
there is nothing that catches my eye, it only takes a minute or two for
me skip through and read all the headlines. Usually, however, there are at
least one or two articles I want to read. And even the headlines in
themselves help to keep me up on what's going on. You can subscribe by going
to http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/ and
giving your email address in the subscribe box at the bottom of the page.
For
those who are interested in being more actively involved in global
transformation, I highly recommend MoveOn.This organization has a membership
of two million people who are making a big difference. They have carefully
written petitions which are completely legitimate and listened to in Congress
(most Internet petitions which simply require names are not considered
seriously). They have also led some fantastic campaigns which often only
require a few minutes of your time or a modest donation. They send out an
email every few days on average with ideas for action. Join in and
help to create a better world! Go to http://www.moveon.org/front/ and
click on "Sign Up for Action Updates."
I
highly recommend each of the above resources. They take very little of
my time, yet I know I am keeping myself well informed and joining in making a
big difference. Below are two astounding articles have come out just in
the last few days on one or more of the above news lists. The first is:
"Are Parallels To Nazi Germany Crazy?" This incredible article is from the San
Francisco Chronicle website. People are starting to wake up!

The
second article is a transcript of a speech by Republican Presidential
candidate John Buchanan, who is running against Bush. Buchanan is
running on the platform that Bush had foreknowledge of 9-11! He says we
need to get this country back to democracy. He's even been getting some media
attention.

For
those who are interested in the websites I manage, the WantToKnow.info
website continues to get several hundred visitors every day with an
occasional spike to several thousand. We've now had a total of about
140,000 visitors. Some high level officials have contacted us through this
website to offer both support and important information. We are making a big
difference.
The
other three websites, Moment of Love, Global Community for All, and Web of
Love, are averaging anywhere from 10 to 50 visitors a day. I'd love to
find more volunteers interested in adding inspirational content and making
these sites more attractive. I welcome any thoughts that you might have on
this. All four of these website are a manifestation of my deep commitment to
personal and global transformation through love and empowerment. Thanks for
your commitment to creating a better world, and you have a great day and week
ahead!
With
love and very best wishes,
Fred
