RE: I did it on purpose v4vapid & deepdives!

[v4vapid]

Great comments my friend, Iran is definitely a topic that should/could be tackled ahead of military intervention by Western powers. No doubt there are covert operations already in progress: ngos, USAID, clandestine CIA operatives, etc.

I think it's a good time to test out a focused dive, possibly Syria, Iran, (Middle-East) or human trafficking. It won't be limited to a single archive but should reference documentation from a significant source (prior DD archives). I'd like to open it right up but then again I also want to have the research anchored in verifiable sources.

Thoughts?

1. name a couple of sources Wikileaks, Cryprome, CIA, etc.
2. name the main focus. Middle east?
3. find a way to encourage more newcomers to the dives. There are many who seem to be willing. But are holding back somehow. I was in the same boat when i started and a few great minds managed to say the right words to me that made the click.

To me it was daunting to even think about doing 'real journalism' and to be honest it still is. But the quality of mainstream journalism corporate news is so damn horrible that even I dare to feel confident of doing a better job then those fantasy novelists who call themselves journalists.

Doing deepdives is so much more then writing an article about a leak, it's 3 educations in one,

1. you learn about the globalist game of war, corruption and propaganda
2. you learn about journalism, and even if you feel you suck at it, you learn to appriciate the work of the few real journalists who are still doing real journalism
3. You learn about writing. And writing about bullshit really teaches something, as you must find ways to explain that bullshit in a way that people can understand. As most people can not figure out the bullshit , well, because it is bullshit. :-)

DeepDives is worth the challenge, even is your article is not as good as you want it to be. I really would like to encourage anyone to take the challenge. Start simple and you soon be taking the more complex topics.

Specially for those who are aware that this planet is a shit hole that is governed by assholes, those are the people who have the real power to do DeepDives.

:-D
