Bringing You Real Truth and No Lies

In the digital age, information is power. This is why various organizations, governments, and corporations try so hard to control it. It’s up to us, you and me, to stop that. Reals Project stands firm against the self interests of corpo-fascists by providing people with the power to discern fact from fiction, to spot lies and uncover truth, and to elevate ourselves from control.

Reals Project takes popular news stories and sees it from all perspectives, taking into account socio-historical and political contexts so that our readers get a bigger picture than what traditional news outlets give them. We want to free your mind.
