Look, I'm gonna be straight with you. The suits and the gatekeepers do not want you building your own stack. They want you renting it. They want you dependent, quiet, and one vague “policy update” away from losing your audience.
So I'm doing the opposite.
I'm Ryan “Dickie” Thompson. Over at Veracity Life, we've been building open source anti censorship tools for people who are tired of being managed. If you can't audit it, you can't trust it. Period.
Everything starts here: https://github.com/veracitylife
What You're Getting (And What I Cut)
I trimmed the fat. No proxies project. No ViewBot. What's left is a tight, usable lineup of open source anti censorship tools focused on verification, archiving, automation, and independent radio infrastructure.
Here are the 8 Veracity Life repositories I'm spotlighting:
- VeriFact-WordPress-Fact-Checking-Plugin
- Archive-Forge-SWT
- Spun-Web-Archive-Pro
- Spun-Web-Make.com-Workflows—Blueprints—Scenerios
- The-Clovis-Star-Gnostic-Library
- AirwaveAuidioPlayerMatrix
- AirwaveAutomatorFREEChrome
- AirwaveAutomator-Chrome
Spotlight add-ons:
Let me tell you what they do and why they matter if you care about not getting memory-holed.
Why Open Source Is the Only Honest Path Forward
Closed systems demand trust. Trust is expensive, and it gets abused constantly.
Open systems demand verification. Verification is cheaper, and it scales.
That's the whole reason I keep saying open source anti censorship tools. This isn't “free software” as in “free beer.” It's free as in “you don't need permission.”
When code is open, you can:
- Audit for spyware behavior
- Fork when the maintainer disappears
- Patch your own bugs instead of begging support
- Build competitors without getting your API key revoked
You don't become “safe.” You become harder to control. That's the point.
Truth Verification Without Outsourced Hall Monitors
Centralized “fact-checking” is a power choke point. Sometimes it's honest. A lot of times it's politics wearing a lab coat and a smug expression.
VeriFact is the opposite posture.
VeriFact-WordPress-Fact-Checking-Plugin
Repo: https://github.com/veracitylife/VeriFact-WordPress-Fact-Checking-Plugin
This WordPress plugin connects to a VeriFact FastAPI fact-checking service. The goal is simple: editors run checks inside WordPress while the organization owns the rules, logs, and workflow.
Here's the practical value of these open source anti censorship tools:
- Build a repeatable internal verification process
- Keep your own audit trail
- Standardize how claims get reviewed without outsourcing truth to a third party
If you can't audit the pipeline, you don't own the truth process. Full stop.
Archive It Before Someone “Revises History”
If you've never been memory-holed, you might think archiving is paranoid. If you have been memory-holed, archiving feels like basic hygiene.
Things vanish. Links rot. Platforms flip policies. And suddenly it's “we can't verify that ever existed.”
Archive-Forge-SWT
Repo: https://github.com/veracitylife/Archive-Forge-SWT
This is the pro-grade WordPress plugin for automatically submitting content to the Internet Archive (Wayback Machine). It handles individual submission, auto submission for new content, and advanced archiving controls.
Deletion is rarely dramatic. It's usually “quiet moderation,” broken embeds, dead links, and payment processor tantrums. Archiving won't fix everything, but it gives you receipts.
Spun-Web-Archive-Pro
Not everyone needs the full toolbox. This is the lighter-weight archiving option: same mission, different weight class.
If Archive-Forge-SWT is the toolbox, Spun-Web-Archive-Pro is the wrench you keep in your pocket. Both are essential open source anti censorship tools for anyone publishing content that might attract heat.
My advice: Auto-submit on publish for cornerstone posts. Manually submit “controversial” pieces immediately after they go live. And keep local backups too, because redundancy is the whole game.
Automation for People Who Have Better Things to Do
You asked me to keep only one workflows repo, so here it is.
Spun-Web-Make.com-Workflows—Blueprints—Scenerios
Repo: https://github.com/veracitylife/Spun-Web-Make.com-Workflows—Blueprints—Scenerios
This is a public library of Make.com automation blueprints ready to import.
Here's why I consider automation part of open source anti censorship tools: dependency isn't just speech. It's ops. It's funnels. It's publishing pipelines. It's the little chores that burn you out until you quit.
A few sane use cases:
- Lead capture routing without duct tape
- Auto-notifications when a page goes down
- Auto-archive triggers tied to publish events
- Content ops checklists that run every time you hit “publish”
If you run a small media outfit, automation is the difference between “independent” and “exhausted.”
Forbidden Texts and the Right to Read What They Buried
Institutions love controlling access to information. That's not a conspiracy theory. It's history.
The-Clovis-Star-Gnostic-Library
Repo: https://github.com/veracitylife/The-Clovis-Star-Gnostic-Library
This is a static HTML collection of ancient writings that have been hidden or censored.
Static matters. It's portable. Easy to mirror. Harder to kill.
Whether you agree with the material or not is irrelevant. The principle is the point: people should be able to read what institutions tried to bury. That's open source anti censorship tools applied to knowledge preservation, not just tech.
Airwave: Independent Radio Infrastructure for Streaming Rebels
This is where my heart lives. Independent media.
Corporate platforms can throttle you, demonetize you, or memory-hole your reach without a real appeal. So the answer is simple: build your own pipes.
AirwaveAuidioPlayerMatrix
Repo: https://github.com/veracitylife/AirwaveAuidioPlayerMatrix
A WordPress plugin for building an audio player matrix for radio and streaming projects. Multi-stream setups, community stations, and a central “listen page” you actually control.
AirwaveAutomatorFREEChrome
Repo: https://github.com/veracitylife/AirwaveAutomatorFREEChrome
A Chrome extension that lets you listen to a radio stream and chat with guests and DJs. This is community infrastructure, not algorithm-chasing.
AirwaveAutomator-Chrome
Repo: https://github.com/veracitylife/airwaveautomator
Another Chrome extension in the Airwave ecosystem, focused on streaming plus chat and listener interaction.
Here's why these belong in a list of open source anti censorship tools: if you can broadcast without begging for distribution, you're already winning.
Licenses: Freedom With Rules, Not Vibes
Across these repos you'll see MIT, GPL v2, GPL v3, and Apache 2.0.
Quick street-level breakdown:
- MIT: Permissive, easy adoption
- GPL: Share-alike, keeps derivatives open
- Apache 2.0: Permissive, plus patent language
If you build on this stack, respect the license. Freedom does not mean “no responsibilities.”
How to Actually Deploy This Stack
If you publish content that attracts heat, here's a sane playbook:
- Install archiving first (Archive-Forge-SWT or Spun-Web-Archive-Pro)
- Add verification tooling (VeriFact concept, even if you start manual)
- Automate the annoying parts (Make.com blueprints)
- Build audience redundancy (Airwave plus email plus mirrors)
That's what open source anti censorship tools are for. Not vibes. Continuity.
If you do nothing else, do archiving. People underestimate how fast narratives get rewritten.
Fork It. Break It. Improve It.
No cult energy. No weird pledges.
If you want to contribute:
- Fork what you use
- File issues when you find bugs
- Submit pull requests with fixes or docs
- Tell me what broke in your environment
I'm not building tools to control you. I'm building tools so you can't be controlled.
