Welcome to AltMedia House.

I founded this community to assist in the democratization of media by promoting voices that are suppressed in mainstream media publications, especially pro-Palestinian voices.

This community is 'AltMedia' in the Mearsheimer and Walt sense. Not the Richard Spencer sense.

This community likes John Mearsheimer, Stephen Walt, Alison Weir, Edward Said, Rashid Khalidi, Ilan Pape, Norm Finkelstein, Grant Smith, Chris Hedges, Robert Scheer, Ray McGovern, Larry Johnson, Col. Lawrence Wilkerson, Col. Douglas MacGregor, Max Blumenthal, Anya Parampil, Alastair Crooke, Chas Freeman, Prof. Jeffrey Sachs, Aaron Mate, Phil Giraldi, Matt Hoh, Karen Kwiatkowski, Kevork Almassian, Chief Dennis Fritz, Craig Murray, Scott Horton, Andrew Napolitano, Ali Abunimah, Nora Barrows-Friedman, Jon Elmer, Asa Winstanley, Daniel Davis, Nima Alkhorshid, Pascal Lottaz, Seymour Hersh, Glenn Greenwald, Krystal Ball, Saagar Enjeti, Jeremy Scahill, Ryan Grim, George Galloway, Tucker Carlson, Thomas Massie, John Kiriakou, and everyone proximal to this group.

News outlets we like: the Cradle, Grayzone, MondoWeiss, Antiwar.com, Mintpress, Jacobin, Middle East Monitor, Middle East Eye, Al Jazeera, Information Liberation, israelpalestinenews.org, Electronic Intifada, Drop Site News, Responsible Statecraft, Sonar21, Scheerpost, Breaking Points, Consortium News, 972 Magazine, CounterPunch, The Intercept, The Nation, Haaretz and others like them.

We also browse Israeli newspapers like The Times of Israel and the Jerusalem Post for the ridiculous things they say.

We are cross-platform:

They invented it, back then we called it the Red Scare

You could say that. Maybe their biggest problem with it was that it got stolen from them.

it's older than that. censorship has always hid as "protecting the youth from radical idealists" while letting authoritarians say anything they want to maintain a specific narrative where the limited protected class gets to remain the limited protected class. they've gone by many names. the high priests, the patricians, the nobility, the bourgeoisie, the party, the council, the oligarchs, the billionaires. they also always label an unprotected class as being the root of all the problems the protected class causes.

nothing is new. 1984 describes three great imperial powers locked in permanent combative detente. this is based on george orwell's observations on history, and his prediction that this would not fundamentally change in his lifetime without something changing.
