The Red Pill was founded in South Africa by 
As George Orwell wrote, 'In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act',
Founded in late 2014, The Red PIll is on its way to become a noteworthy Independent Media Organisation. People, since recorded history, have relied on the news to make better informed choices in their lives, their families lives, and even in their business and jobs. Over the last 100 years or so, the distribution of news has been swallowed up by a handful of entities, and the truth is being suppressed and bent to influence and manufacture the gains of the few at the expense of the many. Through money and power, and the purchasing and control of media and news outlets, the resulting symptom is millions of people are making choices and decisions that most of the time are unknowingly detrimental to their well-being.
Over the last few years, The Red Pill has seen a rise in Independent Media, both locally in South Africa, as well as abroad. Networks like the We Are Change network, The Corbett Report, David Icke, High Impact Flix, Janssen Report, Media Monarchy, Info Wars, Press For Truth, Rebel Media, Ron Paul Liberty Report, SGT Report, The Next News Network, Dollar Vigilante, and Zero Hedge, have all inspired The Red Pill to follow in their footsteps, and forge a new path for others to join and follow.
Special mention must goto South African Independent Media, namely The Rational Standard, who are making waves in the critical thinking space of news information.
Our understanding of Independent Media is where the organisation does not receive funding from one individual or group of people. Example: If you have a radio show, and you rely on sponsors for funding, and one of your sponsors happens to be a pharmaceutical distribution company, you will find it difficult exposing the possible consequences of taking a specific drug manufactured by that particular company. How could you? They are contributing to your well-being, and your organisations well-being. This is a common story with many anecdotal cases.
The Red Pill has chosen a path where it is void of any dominant sponsoring, and is relying on funding through internal initiatives. Some initiatives include a clothing brand that sells 55% Hemp and 45% Organic shirts that is launching before the end of this year. Other sources of funding is through donations throughout network, and individual donations from
The Red Pill is finalising the last touches of their website, as well as preparing a group of writers and editors together to begin spreading more information to the public. As many of the readers will know, self-funding projects, without a steady flow of income, is highly unsustainable. Nevertheless, throughout all the ups and downs, we are still on track, and have confidence that we are in the right time and space to do so.
@steemitWe took the decision to open a Steemit account for several reasons.
Of course, the revenue aspect of Steemit cannot be ignored. As an Independent, you are constantly on the look-out for funding platforms that are in-line with our values and ethics, and Steemit allows for people who are in-line with what we are doing , to give their stamp of approval and vote of confidence, encouraging us to journey further down the Rabbit Hole.
We are preparing to launch a series of articles on a wide range of topics including, Political News, Financial News, Health News and Information, as well as other topics and sub-topics on Steemit. We believe that these topics are important to the average person who is trying to navigate these unprecedented times we live in. So be sure to follow us.

We would also like to thank the following people who have been part of our journey along the way.
