For those who are lurking, but don’t know how to help, your time has come.
**Your mission is to preserve potential online evidence. **
This will be done with archive.is. (There are other archiving sites as well, but this is the one I use.)
Why is archiving important? Because TPTB are changing/removing online evidence. As soon as someone publicly points it out, complicit media makes it disappear. We have all seen posts referencing Archive.is. But a lot of us diggers are limited to only mobile devices (I am one of those), or we just don’t understand how it works in general or what the purpose is.
FOR EVERY RESEARCHER:
It is important to Archive.is your link before publicly posting it. Otherwise it is like the fish that got away; no proof except your words. Best Practice is to practically archive.is every source you come across.
Technical Quick Start Guide to using Archive.is
Open a browser tab.
Navigate to the www.archive.is website on a browser tab. (You will keep coming back and forth to this tab. It is the machine that feeds your page into the archive.is library. Make it a favorite in your browser.)
Open a second browser tab (to search with). Search your keyword and go to webpage. Copy the web addresses.
Flip over to the archive.is tab. Paste the web address here. Save/Search. It may require a few clicks, depending on whether it has been archived before.
{If someone could do a short tutorial on Archive.is for Dummies, that would be great!)
Now flip back to your search tab, and go back down your rabbit hole!
**
Maintaining a Running Record**
It would be helpful to the investigation to maintain a bread crumb trail for the rabbit hole you are digging in. That way, once you come upon a big connection that hasn’t been mentioned, you can copy and paste your trail of preserved evidence!
If you want to maintain a running record, copy the key info (such as headlines or paragraph containing info) and paste into Word, and then also obtain the Archive.is web address. NOTE: Short and long archive.is web addresses can be found under the Share option
Once you understand how to use Archive.is, you can let your interest guide you from here. There are two ways that I have approached the process, using Wikis and MSM/News Media sites.
Wiki:
Select a wiki entry.
Look for interesting connections and key information.
Follow the links down the Wiki rabbit hole.
Stop at each destination and Archive.is it.
Copy/Paste bread crumb path (archive.is link) into Word or other local software.
.
News Media:
Find any interesting new media story, video or photo.
Follow the webpage’s algorithm on suggested stories.
Archive each story as you go (sometimes I don’t even read them).
Copy/Paste bread crumb path (archive.is link) into Word or other local software.
We can use these type of comparisons to prove MSM is covering up and spewing pr0paganda. The general masses of sheeple need woken up to the sleazy media tactics that can be objectively seen.

As someone pointed out in another thread, it would even be a good idea to download a copy of the article or evidence and put it onto an external hard drive or flash device. External storage these days are cheap and preserve critical evidence from being digitally bleached.

Nice post. I suggest to use pastebin your text notes every now and then too... the pastebins are indexed by search engines and other researchers can find your notes and follow along.

We do not promote violence or weaponry. Our tools are information and memes. Please remove "call to arms"

Great info, please change your title. We just replaced a sticky because of this exact language "call to arms".
