We can't do this alone!

Over recent months, our flag ship Rebel News site has become one of the best sources of independent news and analysis. With contributions from over 150 alternative and mainstream sources and a growing number of original writers, Rebel News delivers - seven days a week - hundreds of news items and commentary to thousands of readers.

All of this has been made possible by men and women like yourself who understand what's at stake and share our commitment. Don't rely on others to keep us going. Don't be a free rider. If you haven't already done so recently, make a donation now using the on-line form half way down on the right side of our homepage, just below the red stop sign.
