NoBeliefs Website

According to its introduction page, the main goal of this website is to inspire "free thinking". It says that free thinking can enable a person to see through the many dangerous false beliefs that are common in modern societies and cause great harm to the world. It also says that many important social and political reformers have been freethinkers, and mentions Thomas Jefferson, Elizabeth Cady Stanton (a fighter for womens' rights), Richard Dawkins, and Thomas Paine as examples.

The coverage includes modern social issues as well as important historical debates and controvercies, especially those which still aren't completely resolved even today. Examples of the types of subjects discussed include future energy shortages, preservation of natural environment and wildlife habitat, religious intolerance, biological evolution, roots of modern terrorism, and needed reforms in modern financial systems.

A section of the site called "The Dark Bible" describes various "atrocities" which the bible attributes to God, such as the great flood, the killing of the first-born Egyptian children, and the destruction of Jericho. It also discusses the devil, demonic possession, and the many modern Christians who ignore the original teachings of Jesus.

InfoWars

The InfoWars website covers the ongoing efforts of governments and large corporations to control the public's access to information and to counteract independent news reporting by disseminating disinformation and propaganda. Although the site includes some global coverage, it focuses much of its attention on the activities of the United States government, particularly its attempts to eliminate or restrict the basic constitutional rights of the American people, such as the rights of free speech and freedom of the press.

When I visited the site, the home page featured an article about how government policies led to the current American economic problems, and how the administration is trying to hide the true extent of the economy's woes. There was also an article comparing the propaganda of the current administration to the Nazi propaganda of the Hitler years.

One article which caught my eye concerned the growing efforts of governments and corporations to gain more control over the internet. The article described proposed changes which would give advantages to large corporate and government sites and hinder access to small sites created by individuals and small businesses. There was also a discussion of attempts by the current administration to force internet service companies to provide records of which sites certain internet users have visited.
