PAGES USED FOR RESEARCH WHILE WRITING FOR THE ZINE
Disinformation is a great page for finding information about conspiracies, ancient riddles, and a lot of articles that fuel paranoia.
The Page of Paranoia is a good starting point for research into the world of conspirators. It has links to the FBI and CIA, as well as other sites about conspiracy theories. It also has some just for fun sites such as make your own conspiracy and Evil Bert. And finally, to round it all out, links that feed paranoia, such as the X-Files and Nowhere Man.
Conspire.com Based on the book "50 Greatest Conspiracies of All Time", it includes some highlights from the book, some links to other sources, and information on getting the book.
Black Vault Along with nearly 1,200 pages of official US government documents, you will find a lot of other UFO information as well. Very extensive. Great if you always wanted to utilize the FOI act but are too lazy to sit down and actually write for documents.
Matrix Conspiracies ParaScope's area for investigative reports on conspiracies, crimes, cover-ups and disturbing social, political and economic goings-on. Something strange is happening.
Religious Tolerance and Cult Like Groups
Ontario Consultants on Religious Tolerance I used this page to research modern day witch hunts and religion based hatred. It's a great site, with links to people who hate you no matter what religion you are. Great for messing with the psycho fundamentalists.
Operation Clambake Dedicatedto exposing the secrets of Scientology. I used this as part of my research for an article I wrote for the first issue.
Scientology this is the Scientology home page, so you can go see for yourself how ridiculous they are. But you wont find any of their secrets here, you have to either pay tousands of dollars, or go to the site above.
Independent Films
View Askewniverse From the people who brought you Clerks, Mallrats, and Chasing Amy. Find everything you ever wanted to know about the movies and the people them. Indie Wire Site dedicated to the world of indie film. Very comprehensive, I've used them often.

IndieZine Electronic magazine dedicated to the independent filmmaker and screenwriter (and those who wannabe!). Subscription information and free magazine preview.

Other Good Sites I use a lot
Free the West Memphis Three This site provides all the information you need about the three guys wrongfully convicted of the Robin Hood Hills murders back in 1993. They're very dedicated to the cause and very helpful. They'll gladly answer any questions you can't find on the site.
Alternet is an excellent alternative to your usual news source.
Generation Fuck You is a web directory of many great sites featuring a wide variety of information that you wont find on CNN.com. A lot of the links are dead, but it's still worth checking out because the ones that work are really interesting.
Writer's Write has a lot of good stuff, like classified, workshops, market boards,etc. One of the best writer's sites out there.
Purdue Online Writing Lab With instructional "handouts", resources and links. Pretty decent.
The Art of Writing another good source, with an instant mus contest that looks kind of cool, but just didn't work for me. The idea is to create a story based on the criteria they give you.
Inkspot is another one of my favorites. You can sign up for a free newsletter (I didn't, I never actually read those things, they just end up in my trash folder), find classifieds, polls, columns, and links.
The Blue Ribbon Campaign Everyone who uses the internet knows what this, go check out their site.
Banned Books and Censorship A very comprehensive site with dozens of links to more information, as well as articles and quotes about the issue.
Comic Book Legal Defense Fund is exactly what it sounds like, because comics deserve to be protected by free speech as much as anything else.

friend's site. Newly designed, still has prank calls and other bizarre stuff
though.
