N.B. We sincerely apologize to the many SOTNers who have written us in
the wake of our notification of closure to this community of truly great
truth-seekers. Responding to such a large barrage of emails has presented
an impossible task, especially in light of our demanding website issues, so
we ask that the following update serve as an alternate though inadequate
reply. Thank you all for your understanding and patience.
Dear Friends of SOTN:
Since our announcement of Friday, May 30, that SOTN was closing
down this June, we have received an overwhelming outpouring of
support and deep gratitude which we did not expect.
Please know — ALL OF YOU — that the whole SOTN team has very much
appreciated this awesome (and ongoing) display of thankfulness and
respect. WOW!!! Thank you guys and gals! Didn’t know so many readers
considered SOTN “the best of the best of the best”. It’s been quite humbling
to say the least.
Among all the sentiments strongly expressed, the primary one was: How
can WE keep 17 years of SOTN’s unique and valuable content
accessible on the Internet?
As our followers know, SOTN does not solicit donations on this Alt Media
platform; nor do we sell any products or services for income. Neither
does SOTN receive any advertising revenue from the typical ad delivery
networks. All of which means that we had to fund our own existence
from the beginning. In fact, if we did not receive the extremely generous
largesse from ONE individual and very enthusiastic benefactor, SOTN
would have closed down years ago.
To the point, we were surprised to hear many folks write that they would
gladly contribute whatever they could to this cause: Keeping all the SOTN
related websites and/or archives up and running. Our biggest challenge
with this approach, quite frankly, is that all the crowdfunding sites are
highly antagonistic to SOTN content and would likely steal the donations.
Even the so-called ‘conservative’ fundraising platforms are extremely
inimical to Alt Media sites that post our type of highly radioactive content
like this: DIRE WW3 WARNING: Same Perps Who Started First
Two World Wars Hellbent On A Third.
In any event, we are seriously looking into this possibility — somehow
receiving donations in a systematic manner — at the moment. And, in
the meantime, posting at SOTN will be sporadic and unpredictable
throughout the month of June … or until we resolve this matter.
KEY POINT: Of course, the main challenge SOTN has always had to
deal with is cybersecurity. As many readers have recently commented
in their emails to us, when you’re directly over the target(s), as we often
are, the perpetrators really hate it and will mess with your security and
site anyway they can. FYI, the perps and their agents actually own all
the cybersecurity companies so they really do have a wide-open backdoor
into all client websites. Let that reality sink in.
If anyone has any ideas about (i) maintaining an SOTN archive that we
should be considering, or (ii) funding sources to keep all the sites online,
please email us at: SOTNeditor@protonmail.com.
Semper Fi!
&
With Deep Gratitude,
SOTN Team
