AlterNet publishes original content as well as journalism from a wide variety of other sources. AlterNet states that its mission is to "inspire citizen action and advocacy on the environment, human rights and civil liberties, social justice, media, and health care issues". AlterNet's tagline is "The Mix is the Message."

Overview

Founded in 1998, AlterNet publishes a combination of policy critiques, investigative reports and analysis, grassroots success stories, and personal narratives. Its coverage emphasizes the discovery of solutions to social problems, and its editorial philosophy is "to uphold a commitment to fairness, equality, and global stewardship, while making connections across generational, ethnic, and issue lines".

War on Drugs

The War on Drugs is an American term commonly applied to a campaign of prohibition of drugs, military aid, and military intervention, with the stated aim being to reduce the illegal drug trade. This initiative includes a set of drug policies that are intended to discourage the production, distribution, and consumption of psychoactive drugs that the participating governments and the UN have made illegal. The term was popularized by the media shortly after a press conference given on 18 June 1971, by United States President Richard Nixon—the day after publication of a special message from President Nixon to the Congress on Drug Abuse Prevention and Control—during which he declared drug abuse "public enemy number one". That message to the Congress included text about devoting more federal resources to the "prevention of new addicts, and the rehabilitation of those who are addicted", but that part did not receive the same public attention as the term "war on drugs". However, two years even prior to this, Nixon had formally declared a "war on drugs" that would be directed toward eradication, interdiction, and incarceration. Today, the Drug Policy Alliance, which advocates for an end to the War on Drugs, estimates that the United States spends $51 billion annually on these initiatives.

Exile is to be away from one's home while being explicitly refused permission to return.

Project Exile, a controversial federal program started in Richmond, Virginia in 1997

Tax exile, one who chooses to leave their native country and instead to domicile themselves in a foreign nation where taxes are lower or nil

Alternative media

Alternative media are media that differ from established or dominant types of media in terms of their content, how they are produced or how they are distributed. Alternative media take many forms including but not limited to print, audio, video, Internet and street art. Some examples include the counter-culture zines of the 1960s, ethnic and indigenous media such as the First People’s television network in Canada (later rebranded Aboriginal Peoples Television Network), and more recently online open publishing journalism sites such as Indymedia.

While mainstream mass media on the whole represent government and corporate interests, alternative media tend to be non-commercial projects that advocate the interests of those excluded from the mainstream, for example, the poor, political and ethnic minorities, labor groups, feminists, and GLBTQ identities. These media broadcast ignored or overlooked viewpoints, such as those heard in the progressive news program Democracy Now!, and create communities of identity, as seen for example in the It Gets Better Project that was created on YouTube in response to a rise in gay teen suicides at the time it was created.

Twisted

I can't stop thinking about it
It's captured in my soul
Crazy things you're doing
You know, I'm loosing control
The harder I fight, the better it feels
When it finally takes over
Leaves my body shaking
The harder I fight, the better it feel
When it finally takes me over
Leaves my mind torn
I'm twisted
Can't believe what you've done to me
Twisted on your love
Can't believe you're making love to me
I'm pushed to the limit
Strained against the wall
Driving deeper inside
Till you reach my heart
The harder I fight, the better it feels
When it finally takes me over
Leaves my body shaking
The harder I fight, the better it feels
When it finally takes me over
Leaves my mind torn
I'm twisted
Can't believe what you've done to me
Twisted on your love
