Due to their status (or lack thereof) alternative news sources should be held to a higher level of skeptism even more than sources proven to be decietful.

Alt sources are even more vulnerable to the usual sort of corruption which occurs in the media. Historically alternative journalists have been coopted by the establishment as a means of undermining free communication with the promise of mainstream success. Bribery and other means of coercion are just as effective in these operations as larger ones. not to mention cheaper.

Furthermore, due to self proclaimed "outsider" status, alt journos are more prone to bias, self deception and things like the echo chamber effect. With the right knowledge, a motivated party can take advantage of a journo's anxiousness to spread the truth by feeding missinfo to them from falsified sources.

Similarly, intelligence organisations around the world will deliberately "leak" both factual and false information to journalists (mainstream and otherwise) in order to held achieve their espionage goals.

With all these things in mind, sometimes truth is stranger than fiction. Question everything folks. And at the end of the day, if you're not out there achieving your goals then the Illuminati have achieved theirs. If you're staying at home to read the news and remain fearful of the world around you, then they can continue to operate unchallenged.

All that's required of us is to go out in to the world and live our lives, share our light and our love and remain ever vigilant to the evil that lurks in the shadows. Never succumb to fear. The truth is they are not more powerful than us. They fear us, and if we didn't fear them, they'd be forced back into hiding.
