(Publisher's Note: We started FreedomsPhoenix in September of 2005 and have archived 20 years of News - Articles - Columns and Radio Shows and Podcasts {about a half a million entries} and from the beginning we knew we would have to include Metadata that would Identify the entries for future reference WHEN they were eliminated from the Internet. Now you know why we have the Mid-Pages that include the original links, what publication/author, summary of content, graphics and reader comments.
These features were important For Just This Reason... Censorship! The Tungsten/Gold issue is one of those issues that are being scrubbed. With our own servers and the use of IPFS tech we are one of the most secure storage locations for the chronology of information deemed important by individuals with a libertarian perspective...
