Watch on Odysee
I was honoured to be invited to be among the first journalists to join the Independent Media Alliance (IMA).
The IMA was the idea of Whitney Webb (Unlimited Hangout), Ryan Cristián (The Last American Vagabond) and Derrick Broze (The Conscious Resistance Network). The IMA is a collaborative effort focused on promoting objective, fact-based media from a diverse team of journalists, podcasters, and writers.
Whitney, Derrick and Ryan explained why they felt this project was needed.
Whitney Webb said:
The online media landscape, despite the plummeting trust in mainstream media, has never been more weaponized and difficult to navigate. By pooling our collective resources and creating some new resources, the goal is for this group of principled independent journalists and content creators, who have proven themselves over the past several years as willing to challenge official narratives even when difficult, to be able to withstand the increasing pressures of disseminating adversarial content in an increasingly adversarial social media landscape.
Derrick Broze observed:
We believe there has never been a more important time for independent, principled journalists and content creators to collaborate more than ever. Together we have the power to maximize our reach and counter false solutions and narratives which are infecting the indie media and ‘truth community’.
And Ryan Cristián added:
At a time when objective, non-partisan media is under more attack than ever, and the two party illusion has never been more vulnerable, like the cornered animal it is, the system lashes out at those who try to change it. We can all sense the changing of the tides, and none more viscerally than the dying power structure desperate to maintain its power. This desperation has materialized into the rising threat of digital identification, social credit scores, and overall technocratic control, all of which are being forced upon us in hopes that it will stifle, if not completely snuff out, our growing awareness and rising resistance. Enter the manufactured State-serving Mainstream Alternative Media designed to usher you mindlessly into the technocratic panopticon. Whitney, Derrick and I decided to start this Independent Media Alliance to organize against this rising threat using objective, well researched journalism and collaboration.
The IMA’s initial emphasis will be on countering narratives currently being seeded within the “alternative” media space, including, but not limited to, the false two-party paradigm, hopium in politicians, support for imperial wars, 5th Generation Warfare, and Technocratic solutions to legitimate problems (digital IDs pitched as the “only” solution for immigration, voting fraud prevention, etc.) The hope is to expand the content beyond this and investigate any and all matters of concern that come to the attention of IMA members.
The IMA will take several actions in the pursuit of these goals, including regular panels and debates featuring alliance members and guests; collaborative and joint investigations; and launching a new decentralized media network to host relevant content from alliance members. The IMA will also be partnering with decentralized video platform Odysee to ensure that the content cannot be easily censored.
Webb, Cristián, and Broze invited more than a dozen journalists, podcasters, and media outlets to join the alliance. I was delighted to be among them. More investigative researchers and journalists will be joining as the project develops and the aim is to provide a wide range of content, including articles, panel discussions and debates, podcasts, video documentaries, and more.
I share the IMA’s concerns and wholeheartedly support the objectives of the Independent Media Alliance. In addition to myself, the current roster includes:
Hakeem Anwar, Above Phone / Take Back Our Tech
Catherine Austin-Fitts, Solari Report
Jason Bassler, The Free Thought Project
Jason Bermas, The Jason Bermas Show
Catte Black, Off-Guardian
James Corbett, The Corbett Report
Richard Grove, Grand Theft World Podcast
Kit Knightly, Off-Guardian
Hrvoje Morić, Geopolitics and Empire
Steve Poikonen, Slow News Day / AM Wake Up
Charlie Robinson, Macroaggressions Podcast
Carey Wedler, read about Carey here
I hope you enjoy the first panel discussion on the “Fake Binary” where Ryan and Derrick outline the IMA objectives. As we begin this project together I hope you, like me, will support the aims of the IMA.
Most importantly, I hope you will take some inspiration from IMA content to make the changes in your own life that matter to you. As the UN attempts to decree our future and rollout an enslaving Technocracy, we cannot continue to play the same game—and thereby passively accept the imposition of tyranny—while, at the same time, expecting our children to thrive.
We must act, and the IMA hopes to play a small part in encouraging you to take peaceable action.

Be honest Iain, the true purpose for your alliance is to align the narrative of the alt-media “journalists” to champion the cause of anti-government Anarchism.
