Welcome to New Basel Refuge
A Sanctuary for Free Speech, Anonymity, and Resistance
In times of uncertainty, when the forces of hate, oppression, and authoritarianism seem to be on the rise, finding a safe space to speak out, connect, and organize has never been more crucial. New Basel Refuge is that space—a digital sanctuary created by and for those who refuse to let their voices be silenced in the face of injustice.
Why New Basel Refuge?
The name New Basel Refuge might seem unfamiliar at first, but its roots go deep. Our name is a homage to Basel, Switzerland—a city that, during World War II, was a crucial waypoint for those fleeing the brutal clutches of the Nazi regime. For those escaping persecution, Basel was a beacon of hope and refuge, offering both physical and ideological shelter. In a time when freedom of expression and assembly seem increasingly threatened, our goal is to continue this tradition of refuge, for those who are fighting fascists with their words, their art, and their actions.
Our Mission: Protecting Free Speech and the Resilient Voices of Resistance
In today’s world, where the rise of fascism, authoritarianism, and oligarchy threatens the very foundations of democracy, it is essential that those who resist are equipped with the tools to do so safely. New Basel Refuge is more than just a newsletter or a service; it is a movement powered by a network of tech-savvy engineers, activists, and visionaries who are committed to ensuring that the voices of the oppressed remain heard—even when the powers that be would prefer silence.
We are living in a time where the rights we once took for granted, such as the First Amendment—our right to free speech and assembly—are under constant attack. What’s legal today may be criminalized tomorrow, and for many, simply standing up for what is right can become a dangerous act. That’s why we are here: to provide a cloak of anonymity, to protect those who have the courage to stand up and speak out, even when the risks are high.
For the Writers, Artists, Journalists, and Whistleblowers
At New Basel Refuge, we welcome all those who share our commitment to protecting freedom and stopping the spread of hate. Whether you are an artist using your craft to challenge oppressive ideologies, a journalist reporting the truth against all odds, a whistleblower exposing corruption, or an activist organizing for a better tomorrow, we are here for you.
We believe in the power of words, images, and ideas to change the world. We also believe that the fruits of your labor—whether in the form of writings, reports, or creative works—should belong to you and not to any ruling elite or corporate machine. The tools of technology, the platforms we use to communicate, and the networks we build, should not serve the interests of the powerful. They should serve the people. New Basel Refuge is dedicated to returning the power to the creators and the activists, to ensuring that your voice remains free and protected.
A Call to Action: Join Us in Building a New Future
As we launch this platform, we extend an open invitation to all those who share our values to join us in this vital work. If you are an artist, journalist, writer, whistleblower, or anyone who believes in the importance of free speech, anonymity, and resistance to authoritarianism, we want you to be part of New Basel Refuge. Together, we will create methods of communicating that protect free speech in tough times.
But this isn't just about talking. It's about doing. We are committed to building resilient systems that are designed to survive and thrive even in the face of government actions that aim to stifle dissent. The tools we create will not only allow you to communicate and organize in secret, but they will be resistant to surveillance, censorship, and attack. Because your safety, your voice, and your work are non-negotiable.
Welcome to New Basel Refuge: A Home for the Courageous, the Free, and the Unyielding.
This is a safe place. A place to speak freely, to resist oppression, and to protect the rights that so many have fought for. This is where you can remain anonymous if you wish, secure in the knowledge that your words and actions will not lead to persecution.
The fight is not over. But as long as there are those who refuse to give in, there will be hope. Welcome to New Basel Refuge. Here, your voice matters, your work matters, and you matter.
Let’s rise together, in solidarity, for a better tomorrow.
