Published to launch the new beta platform for INSURGE intelligence<\/a>, a crowdfunded journalism platform for Open Inquiry and coordinated action in service of people and planet. Become an owner of the media revolution<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Imagine a world in which everybody gave away their freedom, willingly, in return for being able to belong to a toxic network which, rather than enriching their lives, profited from eroding civil discourse, polarizing communities, and manipulating their\u00a0minds.<\/h4>\n
