Sikke et år 2019 har været. Åbent oprør er udbrudt i mange lande, terrorisme og "tilfældige grusomheder" fortsætter i uformindsket omfang. Vejret er blevet mere ekstremt end nogensinde. Regeringer er blevet mere korrupte og hæmningsløse en nogensinde. Det anti-humane sociale justeringsvanvid er flyttet fra universiteterne til arbejdspladsen og ind i skolerne og asteroider suser forbi vores lille tabte planet i et alarmerende omfang.
Selvom det har gæret i adskillige år - specielt siden den "dobbelte overraskelse" med valget af Trump og resultatet af Brexit afstemningen - så tog massecensuren et vældigt spring i 2019. Takket være at visse regeringer læner sig op af store Tech Firmaer, har selve internettets natur ændret sig dette år. Udrensningen af dissidente stemmer, som vores, fra søgeresultater og sociale medier har væsentligt afbleget sandhedens internet og erstattet det med tyrehornene fra massemediernes propaganda og ekstremistisk "sort og hvidt" retorik.
Som et resultat er vores læserskarer, som voksede i det meste af sin 18 årige historie igen faldet markant i dette år - med 37 % i forhold til 2018. Siden 2016, er vores enkeltstående besøg faldet med 55%! Vi kunne skrige og råbe over det, men vi tror ikke, det vil gøre noget godt. Faktisk er der for meget skrigen og råben i disse dage - om hvad som helst og alting - det gør helt klart ikke nogen noget godt. Det er derfor, at Sott.net har ændret sine anstrengelser fra at "vække folk op" til a uddybe sine forbindelser med dem "som allerede ser".
I disse tider med monumentale usandfærdigheder, distraktioner 24/7 og sociopolitisk galskab, er fællesskab mere vigtigt end nogensinde. Der er kun så meget "fælleskab", du kan deltage i via din computerskærm, men uanset hvor du er, og i hvilken tilstand du befinder dig selv i, så husk altid, at det vigtigste er, HVEM du er, og hvad du SER.

As far as we're concerned, they can fiddle with search results and shadow-ban us on social media all they want. As Mr. Universe says to Captain Reynolds in Firefly: Serenity, "They can't stop the signal." They can tamp down our reach, but this lighthouse is not going anywhere. Sott.net remains an independent information zone, an ad-free zone, and a free speech zone. They can shut us up 'out there', but as long as there is a global Sott.net community of editors and readers, they can't touch us 'in here'!
We are still sending out a signal in 11 languages, still publishing monthly 'Earth Changes' videos, and still broadcasting weekly radio shows. In fact, our English-language radio shows this year fully migrated to video podcast format. Replacing 'The Truth Perspective', MindMatters covers philosophical, scientific and religious issues for navigating our changing reality, while Objective:Health - which replaced 'The Health & Wellness Show' - discusses the latest research on optimal health. Our current events show NewsReal with Joe & Niall has been on hold since mid-2019, but will be back in the new year. You can find all our video discussions and interviews indexed here.
This year we've added new features to the website, including the most-requested: readers can now find their old comments and be notified of new replies. And we didn't do this by signing over your data to outsourced Israeli comments engines like Spot.im (ahem, RT!) - instead, we custom-built comments notifications, as we have done and will continue to do with the entire Sott.net architecture. Our hope is that greater interaction in the Sott.net community means you all can better keep in touch with each other, and with world events.
SOTT.net and YOUR Contribution
Over the years, we've held a number of fundraisers for specific goals, and the response has always been very positive; obviously, many people do appreciate our work. YOUR contributions - whether as direct donations or product purchases - keep us up-and-running on a daily basis, and we are immensely thankful for all the help we can get. What you have helped us accomplish over the past two decades is amazing. Thanks to you, and in spite of the Internet censors throttling our reach on Google and social media, Sott.net registered an average of 2.4 million unique visitors a month this year.
Almost uniquely these days, Sott.net refuses corporate advertising and sponsorship, achieving its objectives solely via its own resources and reader donations. This is how we manage to keep this website going, and try to provide you with as objective a picture of the global reality as possible - day in, day out, through the diligent efforts of dozens of volunteer editors around the globe. Any and all 'advertisements' you see on our sites are either ads for our own products, which directly support our work, or our non-commercial support for others engaged in the fight against lies, corruption and the general 'ponerization' of our world.
All of this highlights how important YOUR SUPPORT is. The Fight Against Lies goes on and we very much need your help to keep the lighthouse going.
And so, before the end of the fiscal year, we would just like to remind you that if you have a bit of extra income this year, donating to Sott.net, a program of Quantum Future Group, Inc., a U.S. non-profit organization, is tax-deductible in the US. Wouldn't you rather give your money to a good cause, to the fight for truth and real news, than have it funding war, corruption and fake news?
Make your (tax-deductible in the US) donation today. You can send a check or money-order by mail to:
SOTT/Quantum Future Group, Inc.Or you can donate via Credit Card or Paypal. (For direct bank transfer details, please feel free to contact us.)
