Welcome to the community for independent journalism, a place to post and engage with diverse, free news media from around the world.

The rundown:

  1. Posts should link to a current* article from a credible, independent news source. If there's a paywall, please put the official link in the URL box and add an archive link in the text body of your post. Blogs, editorials, listicles and reports are welcome.

  2. Post title should be the article headline or best fit. Add this tag if an account is needed for access: [sign-in required.]

  3. No misinformation. Provide sources when making substantial or potentially destructive claims.

  4. Be civil. Be respectful. Be cool. Instance rules apply.

  5. Tag NSFW and apply content warnings at your discretion.

*Independent journalism is generally free from government and corporate interests and is not controlled by a major media conglomerate. "Independence" is a gradient, so use your best judgement when posting.

The most reliable, most independent news organizations will have a solid fact-checking record, have diverse revenue streams, not post ads, conduct their own investigations, and use multiple, verified sources.

*Current depends on whether new, publicly available information has been released since the article has last been updated. When in doubt please add the published date to the title in a tag [like this.]

Both communities were created with the goal of increasing media pluralism. Please share and contribute.

Many of us feel, as poet John Donne put it in The Anatomy of the World in 1611, “Tis all in pieces, all coherence gone”.

The Christian tradition tells us to be on the lookout for the Antichrist, who will appear shortly before the big finish. Vast amounts of Christian ink have been used to try and work out when he will come and just how we might identify him when he does.

The lore is deep, the Johannine stuff influential but there is tons of others.

From the Books of Daniel, Ezekiel, the Enochian tradition, the apocalypses of Peter, Adam, Paul, John, Gog and Magog etc.

Around Pseudo-Methodius and Qur'an, look to the east, kinda time seems to when it notches up a gear all the ways to the joys of US rapture obsession, Watchtower, LDS, George Romero, Resident Evil and all that good stuff.

Reading over Michael Penn's early sources on Islam and the end seemed rather real for a few peeps
