I think that, partly for financial reasons, the rougher, cheaper paper, the better. We may even do like they did in colonial times....print as cheaply as possible and then leave them "lying around" for people to read. At the time, they were leaving them on people's doorstep :)

Keisha: True...that's what "REwriting" is for :)

John: Printed material would have a much larger cost associated with it BUT...a magazine would be a WONderful way to reach "non-computer" people :)

True...hindsight is 20/20.... I think if you started tackling issues, some of your readers would have left :( Then again...after awhile...some new ones would start showing up :)

Back to work (I hope...this place is habit forming)....

youhavetoforgiveme, I maintain 7 blogs which get virtually no readers. They're still there though.

This web site gets a great many hits and new members every day.

There are, as you know, many web sites devoted to the truth. They all get traffic of varying degrees. I used to publish a magazine for older adults and I had close to 1 million readers at a point. If you can figure out a way to reach an audience that size I'd love to hear about it. That's where the mainstream media has us beat. My magazine was just for fun. We didn't tackle issues, ever. I should have thinking about it now in retrospect. Hindsight is always 20/20.

I think we may be on to something here :) Now writers and researchers we are in no shortage of here...that's the easy part...the hard part is trying to find a medium to make our content available to the masses (as a whole) without forcing them to pay attention (like a commercial).... Unless anyone here knows of a winning lottery ticket holder...it looks like the Internet is going to be our only realistic option....

We're doing this already...just not on the scale that we would like to.... In some small way, I this this discussion is worthy of moving it somewhere other than any one person's blog post. Any ideas? :)

It's not quite a hurdle. It's a monumental task unlike any previously in history. It's the information age and we're all inundated. Glad you're up to the task. Me three.

Jellyfish don't have human white blood cells? Since when?

lol...I should be a good candidate for a think tank...my wife keeps telling me that I think too much ;)

Agreed...people WANTING to discover more are always better suited to learn something than those who have the truth forced upon them :)

Seems to me that the best way to skin this cat would be to "attack the problem from the flank". In other words, instead of telling people what the truth is, ask questions (that we already know the answer to) or ask questions that hopefully sparks further investigation....

As an example: Jeff posted an article about the government "bombing" a small town in Washington State and in the video, some moron started the vicious rumor that Navy jets were bombing jellyfish 50 miles away and the carcasses were flying through the atmosphere and then coming back down ("raining") the gooey sticky substance that was coming down six times over three weeks. So my question was:

If that's true, how do you explain jellyfish having HUMAN white cells?

So at this point I guess the real "attack" is to get the sheeple to believe, do, and want MORE than what the their bullshit government offers them.....

Exactly...now we're getting somewhere...basically this all boils down to using correct tags and keywords-- and then having our own version of MSM to drive home how the government really is against us. One guy shouting something crazy is a moron. Three guys shouting the same thing are assholes...what about a million? What if a million people were all shouting at the sheeple that the vaccine is a deliberate poison, and not the cure? :) Who knows...at least they might stop taking it every year "on command" ;)

I'll have to agree with KLC. While I prefer not to be a quiter, and I'll also never quit, the reality here on the ground is that most Americans are as dumb as a rock. My kid who's 28, my girlfriends kid who's 22, are two of the most ill-educated and apathetic people I've ever met. Don't misunderstand, they're both really kind people, big hearts, good friends, no drugs, all of that. But when you try to have an intelligent conversation with either of them their eyes quickly glaze over. Their vocabulary is severely limited and all they really want to do is live life without political, economic or social dialogue which are merely distractions for them. American Idol, the latest Hip Hop song, Playstation basketball and other critically important items are what makes up their daily agenda.

I should have bought Fluoride free toothpaste while raising my daughter.
