The Forbidden Network started as a simple habit: reading the book they didn’t want taught, and asking who “they” actually were. What began as notes shared with a few hundred readers has grown into a publication followed by over 14,000 people who are tired of being told what version of history, culture, and current events to accept.
We are not an outlet with a newsroom or a corporate parent. We are one person, a stack of primary sources, and a readership that would rather sit with an uncomfortable document than a comfortable headline.
Every dispatch follows the same rule: no claim without a source you can check yourself. We link the documents, the court filings, the out-of-print editions — so you’re never asked to simply take our word for it.
The Forbidden Network is entirely reader-funded. There is no paywall, and there never will be — every dispatch is free to everyone, funded by the people who read it. If that sounds like something worth keeping alive, you can support the work below.
