A VOTE FOR THE OLD NAME
2015 Aug 30 from Serg Remy
I preferred Unfiltered News! It just sounds better.

SITE NOW EASIER TO USE ON SMARTPHONE
2015 Aug 29 from Carol Stuthridge Thank you for mobilizing the website! It’s much easier to use on my phone. Did you know that mobile Internet viewing now exceeds PC Internet viewing? Good work!

NEW SITE A JOY TO NAVIGATE

[This message was received shortly after the single-news-column version was published. Twiliz may have been the first person to view it on a smartphone.]
Good Day, Mr. Griffin. I am finding the new site a joy to navigate, especially on my G4 cellphone. Thank you for a solid upgrade!

NEW SITE A SHOCK AT FIRST
2015 Aug 25 from Christina Sophia
Well, it was sort of a ‘shock’ to see it at first, and the two photos with the first two news items threw me a little as I have become so accustomed to seeing the cartoon near the top. If you are discontinuing those I will miss them, as I always enjoyed them each week. It usually takes some getting used to changes, but I think I’m already used to the new look (took an hour), and now that I have read it all for this week, I don’t find the format very different.

I am liking the slight re-organization of content with the news in two columns and the color changes – which are not extreme – and are pleasant to look at. The new header is great and the blue border attractive. I would say you have achieved a more integrated graphic/symbolic look that suits your content and purpose. Even if I didn’t like it however, I would not stop reading it for such a reason!

KNOWLEDGE FROM 1850s
2015 Aug 25 from Alejandro Szita
Dear Ed, this is just to let you know that your rendition of The Law by Monsieur Bastiat is the most extraordinary piece of enlightened knowledge I have yet studied. I have read many books, listened to many lectures, but this voice from the 1850s has a clarity of mind that I have never encountered so far. Thank you for bringing this knowledge to life.

OLD FORMAT LOOKED TIRED
2015 Aug 24 from Keller Wieler
Hi here, actually the new format seems nice and simple, easy to read on my mac computer and large screen. it has easy to read font, easy flow, simple columns, and no ads cluttering along the way down the page. the old format just looked tired to me, and it looked old school. it was more cluttery, and some of the stuff on the sides columns made it look a little cheesy… so, this new format is a welcome refreshment.

NEW FORMAT HARDER TO READ
2015 Aug 24 from Claudia Park
I thought your old format was just fine. The new one is much harder to read and follow. Sorry.

SHORT AND SWEET RESPONSE
2015 Aug 24 from Sherry P. Jackson
I love the new look! It’s user friendly and easier to follow.

THUMBS DOWN ON TWO COLUMNS
2015 Aug 24 from Bmobley
I, too, don’t like the new design. The side-by-side columns make it very aggravating to move from one subject to another. Still love the content though!

TOO MUCH SCROLLING
2015 Aug 24 from Dena
As for your news site, I can’t say that I “hate” it but I don’t like the fact that I have to scroll back and forth (really up and down) to read the whole page. I read left, then right, then if the article was long have to scroll back up to get the next article. Much more time consuming than being able to read straight down like the old one, because i’m always losing my place and end up re-reading stuff.

CONTENT WITH EITHER FORMAT
2015 Aug 24 from Paul
I read your column every week. It’s among the best alternative news sources I repeatedly turn to. The content is what is important, and that is continuing at the same high level. As to format, I’m content with either. The new may be a small improvement. Thanks for your ongoing efforts.

TWO COLUMNS IS DISTRACTING
2015 Aug 24 from Carolyn
I don’t like the multi-column forma, and find myself moving back and forth from column one to column two to make sure I catch everything. I can’t tell the difference between the stories in columns 1 and 2 – I think 1 is “analysis,” but the format of some of the stories seem the same as some in column 2. It’s distracting to have to switch back and forth between the columns. I do enjoy your compendium of news, and thank you for putting it together.

GOOD THINGS IN THE NEW FORMAT
2015 Aug 24 from Steve Youngblood
I must admit I wasn’t thrilled with the changes at first, but that is to be expected with anything new. People are used to the old format. But after just 2 or 3 issues, I do like the new format better. It is more aesthetically pleasing, better spacing, the colors are a good choice, and the two columns are a nice touch. By far the best of all is the change on the hyperlink. Before the link seemed to be the whole text summary, the whole paragraph. I post these articles to Facebook, and other social media, so I copy the text. A lot of times I would have liked to copy a segment of it, and it wouldn’t let me do that b/c it was a paragraph long link. So having the ability to just click on (Story) is a big improvement to me.

As a general comment, I just want to say that it’s all great info, and even though I spend a lot of time keeping up with what’s going on, you always seem to find important issues that other sites missed. So I greatly appreciate you sharing the articles, and even more important, your excellent analysis to help us understand the big picture. So thank you for all the years of keeping us informed with all the vital information and perspective you selflessly share. I support the site by buying the excellent products as much as I can afford to. Keep up the great work, and I think the new format is great.

LIKES THE OLD FORMAT BETTER
2015 Aug 24 from Iman
Sorry, I liked it better before the change. I view it full page.

NEW FORMATY IS GREAT
2015 Aug 24 from Sue
I like the new look. It’s very readable and the colors are pleasing to the eye and easy to follow. Thank you to all who worked on it. It’s great.

NEW SITE HAS ‘FLARE’
2015 Aug 24 from Ed Anderson
I believe your new web site design works just fine and it is just as functional as the old site but with a little more contemporary flare. Keep up the good work in providing us with the news and analysis we can’t find anywhere else.

NEW SITE LENDS MORE LEGITIMACY
2015 Aug 24 from Alejandro Szita
I believe your new website design is quite an improvement over the previous one which indeed looked a bit outdated. This design is clearer, more modern, it looks cooler and, in my opinion, it lends more legitimacy to its content.

PUT IT BACK THE WAY IT WAS
2015 Aug 24 from Ron Pulham
You call that a redesign? You just changed the header, changed the background to blue, and replaced the ads on the left with news and comments. I don’t like ads any more than the next guy, but the content in the left margin looks out of place. My advice is to either do a complete re-design, or put it back the way it was.

RECHARGE
Aging is linked to shortening of telomeres, the tips of chromo-somes found in all cells.Every time cells replace themselves, telomeres become shorter. Eventually, they become so short that chromosomes are damaged and cells no longer can regenerate. Aging is the result. RECHARGE holds the promise of reversing that process. (More)

FREEDOM IN ONE LESSON
A Discourse by G. Edward Griffin.Agents of a just state derive authority solely from the citizens they serve. That means the state may use physical force to do only those things that individual citizens may use force to do, which is the defense of life, liberty, and property - nothing more. The state, therefore, must be purely defensive, not creative or aggressive, in all that it does. Freedom flows from that. DVD (More)

THE CREATURE FROM JEKYLL ISLAND; A Second Look at The Federal Reserve, by G. Edward Griffin. This is the classic exposure of the Fed that has become one of the best-selling books in its category of all time. 5th Edition includes a no-holds barred analysis of bank bailouts under the Bush and Obama Administrations that are shown to be nothing less than legalized plunder of the American people.

TAKE BACK YOUR POWER
The 2013 NSA spying scandal exposed vast programs to monitor personal phone calls and emails. Now governments and utility companies are working together to reach into homes by means of so-called "smart meters" and data-harvesting devices. The results are surveillance of private activities, higher electric bills, and a proven health risk. DVD(More)

GOT CHEMTRAIL TOXICITY?
EnvioShield was developed to combat the symptoms of toxicity that many people experience during times when the sky is laden with gray haze from high-flying aircraft. It includes a wide spectrum of herbal remedies and nutritional supplements known for their ability to help eliminate toxic metals, chemicals, and pathogens. (More)

WORLD WITHOUT CANCER

The Story of Vitamin B17 G. Edward Griffin marshals evidence that cancer is a deficiency disease, like scurvy or pellagra, caused by the lack of an essential food factor in modern man's diet. That substance is amygdalin, also known as vitamin B17 or Laetrile. Why has orthodox medicine rejected this concept? The answer is to be found, not in science, but in politics ‒ the economic agenda of those who dominate the medical industry. (More)

GLOBAL WARMING AND GLOBAL FEUDALISM
A discourse by G. Edward Griffin.Griffin fields questions about the UN, global warming, and how these topics are tied together. Is the UN our last best hope for peace or global feudalism? Who controls the UN? What is Agenda 21? Is population-control justified to save the planet? Is the UN's report on global warming based on science or politics? If the mission of the World Health Organization is not world health, then what is it? (More)

REMOVE CHLORINE FROM YOUR SHOWER

It is common for health-conscious families to install chlorine-removal filters in their kitchens, but we absorb more chlorine through our skin when taking a bath than we do from drinking water. That's because the body's skin surface is larger than the intestinal surface and because the lungs, too, are efficient absorbers, and we inhale a substantial amount of chlorine gas while bathing.

BLUE
We are told that human activity is threatening the Earth. The 'green' response is to sacrifice freedom, living standards, and property rights to save the planet. This is not a sustainable solution because it ends in human servitude to the state. The real agenda is not conservancy of nature, but political control over people. The new Green is merely the old Red. BLUE exposes this subversive agenda. (More)

HEALING THE GERSON WAY
Diseases like cancer have been cured by a therapy that has been known for over 80 years. It is based on a simple and logical principle: The body can resist most diseases if it has access to the nutrients found in natural foods. The way to treat these diseases is not to attack the symptoms with toxic drugs but to restore the missing nutrients. This book shows how to do that. (More)
