Give Mainstream News the Flick! Working to corporate agendas and government allegiances, mainstream media has been found

repeatedly obscuring and falsifying ‘news’, while blacking-out important stories completely. As a

result, public confidence in mainstream news has steadily declined over recent years while

"alternative media" has risen in its place, filling the void of real news, views and analyses that go

unheard and unexamined in mainstream circles.

With over 50 of the most compelling "alternative" online media

sources, this list will help you on your search for truth.

Zen Gardner

Zen Gardner likes to distill, synthesize and

pull up the big picture – and then reveal how

all of this affects the individual and the

motivating realities that lie beneath. What is

our role? What do we do or not do now that

we know we’ve been deceived on so

many levels, all while keeping an attitude of conscious awareness? The awakening is an amazing

phenomenon that even so-called alternatives and activists are often cynical about. This is because

many haven’t yet seen or felt the shift fully for themselves or identified the amazing manifestations of

this rise in conscious awareness. Moving into the next dimension of understanding – intuition, heart

knowledge or whatever people want to call it – is the final frontier for humanity and our true source of

power. Once we fully awaken, the playing field morphs into a whole new paradigm with much greater

means of effectiveness becoming available.
