The Dot Connector Magazine Joins Forces
with SOTT.net!
with SOTT.net!
The Dot Connector Magazine (DCM) is growing and transforming in a wonderful way: a year and a half after the release of its premier issue, the magazine goes from being a one-man operation to being a full-featured illustrated bi-monthly with a staff of competent and experienced journalists, a publishing house, websites that count over a million visitors a month, and a strong and growing community of readers!
Starting with the next issue, number 10, the Dot Connector joins forces with the SOTT.net team and becomes the official magazine of the Signs Of The Times, a project sponsored by the Fellowship of the Cosmic Mind, pioneered by historian and best-selling author Laura Knight-Jadczyk. I will continue as Editor and Director of Production, but will now be working alongside a team of gifted artists, writers and editors.
This fusion is natural. I knew and loved Laura's and her team's work for years, and knew instinctively that we see the world mostly the same way. To my surprise, our very first meeting showed that our views are not only 'mostly', but exactly the same! So, within half an hour of entering the SOTT headquarters we were already discussing not 'general questions' but the content of the next issue of our Dot Connector!
I have to admit that in the very beginning of the Dot Connector magazine project I underestimated just how important it is to combine forces with a group of like-minded people. Until now, the Dot Connector has been totally independent of any particular group, community or association. It was my thought that editorial and intellectual independence was essential for any publication that aims to reveal the unfettered truth. I came to realize this is only partly true because total independent began to prove counter-productive for two main reasons: first and foremost, a one man magazine operation is simply untenable over the long term. Secondly, the DCM had no network that it served to which readers could become attached and identified with. When somebody stumbled upon the Dot Connector on the Internet and couldn't immediately identify the publisher of the magazine, he or she, even finding it interesting, had no chance to feel it as 'his' or 'her' magazine.
The 'alternative world' has become so vast that, just like mainstream society, it now has its own "left" and "right" wings, and a lot of nuances in between. And as in the mainstream press it is easy to see whose views a newspaper reflects, so in the alternative press it is no longer enough for a magazine to be simply "alternative" - it has to be specific about where exactly it is headed and by and with whom it stands.
Nevertheless, a year and a half of "total independence" was a good experience for me. It helped to clarify my own views, and thus facilitated the choice I finally had to make. Of those many writers and speakers I resonated with a year and a half ago, only a few are left. To be honest, the "alarm bells" inside me are ringing more often now than ever before - at the same time it has become easier to recognize the various 'thought peddlers', disinformation agents and the paid and unpaid, witting or unwitting COINTELPRO volunteers who, unfortunately, constitute the majority of bloggers and forum members today. I was shocked by the number of such types on the Above Top Secret forum for example, where they literally control discussions! On the other hand, I have seen no such censorship or control on the SOTT.net discussion forum. When I talked to the SOTT team members, together and personally, I understood why. They don't just express and defend their opinions - they live them; their position in the articles and forum posts is their position in real and everyday life, tried and tested in the crucible of reality. And I mean down to the smallest detail. If they recommend a healthy food recipe or a food supplement, be sure they have tried it first on themselves!
"Be the change you want to see in the world" - is what this is all about. Start with yourself, and others will follow. It's this example of making no distinction between what you say, what you do, and the way you live, that the new Dot Connector magazine will now follow and live.

Hesitating about subscribing to the Dot Connector? Or have subscribed only recently? Check out this book: Climategate, The Marijuana Conspiracy, Project Blue Beam, and other true stories from the Dot Connector magazine!
The book (came out yesterday!) includes the story of the Dot Connector, the idea behind it, and the selection of articles from the first 8 issues, some of which have never appeared in print!
March 17, 2010
First of all, I'd like to thank everybody who has made a donation to the Dot! You have helped very much to print and post the 8th issue! The last copies have been posted this morning, so if somebody didn't recieve it yet, it's on the way to you!
Another good news is for non-subscribers, for those who have subscribed only recently (when issues #5 and #6 were already out of stock), AND for those who asked us about the possibility of an affiliate program. We have compiled the best articles from all 8 issues into a book, which comes out next week and then, in less than 2 weeks, will become available worldwide through Amazon.com! So, if you have a website or a blog, get ready to promote it (and the Dot Connector!) and receve a commission from every copy sold!
What makes this book unique is that it includes, among others, two articles from our two very first issues, which, as you know, have never appeared in print. It also includes an article, a kind of the Dot Connector's manifesto, which has never been published in the magazine! I wrote it two weeks ago, and this morning was pleased and surprised to hear how perfectly it resonates with what Marcel Messing says in his video interview published yesterday at Project Avalon website. Marcel Messing is a fantastic person, so this video is a must-watch for every freethinker!

Dear Freethinkers and Truth Seekers,
I did everything I could to avoid it, but now my health problems don't really give me other choice but to ask for your help. The Dot Connector is edited and published by a single person, there's no other financing but subscription, which is still not enough. For a full year 2009, I successfully complemented the budget deficit with my personal debts, but this too has finally become insufficient. So, if you can, please
to the Dot Connector! Any amount counts! Thank you so much in advance.

The feedback to our latest issue #7 (January-February 2010) is fantastic! Although our subscribers are mostly based in the U.K. and the U.S., we are especially excited to receive emails from other countries too.
"Thank you for publishing the wonderful article 'Playthings of the gods' by Walter C. Vetsch. Some may find it 'incredible', but, being a regular visitor of the Project Camelot website, I find it more than credible: everything in this article is confirmed by firsthand witnesses - insiders of government-sponsored black projects!" - Anita Pelter, Germany.
"Thanks for another great issue! I'm half way through, and I must say that you are achieving your goal about publishing an archive worthy magazine. It's great! I'm also pleased to see the list of countries in which you have readers. The Dot deserves to circulate by the millions!" - Lars-Roger Moe, Living Earth Alchemy, Norway.
Thank you so much, dear Friends!

As promised yesterday, issue 7 of the Dot Connector is out! Posting copies as they go out of print. Sorry if it goes a little slower this time — "everything hurts but my hair" yet, after the surgery! :-) It doesn't concern the PDF edition, which is available anytime!

January 6, 2010
I'm back and working! Full recovery will take a couple of months, but the new issue (#7, January-February 2010) is ready and goes to print tomorrow! Thank you all those who have sent me wonderful e-mails of support and encouragement!
Wishing you Love, and the best of the rest! :-)

Dear Dot Connector subscribers, readers, friends,
I will be at hospital for an urgent surgery starting from next Sunday, December 27, and will stay there for 10 days. During this period, download links to the free issues 1 & 2 will as usually be e-mailed immediately. As for paid issues (printed and PDF editions), they will have to wait for my return (6th-7th January). Really sorry, and Thank you for understanding!! Very best wishes to every one of you! :-)

We are deeply grateful to Kerry Cassidy and Bill Ryan of Project Camelot for the kind words that they have recently said about the Dot Connector magazine, first at the "Let's Create a New Paradigm" Conference in Brussels (10-11th October 2009), and then on the Project Camelot's website!
We also thank all our old and new subscribers for their support and encouragement! Last week we've been especially excited to recieve a personal message of "heartfelt congratulations and admiration" from Duncan M. Roads -- the editor of the legendary NEXUS Magazine, an uncontestable giant of alternative press.
