Offshore Windmills-An Environmental Disaster for the Gulf of Maine

About The Maine Anchor

Truth is non - Partisan

Maine’s Alternative Source For News

The Maine Anchor is a online and printed platform of investigative journalism based in Maine, USA.

It is run largely by a group of volunteers whose main goal is to truthfully report on key issues which impact each and every one of our fellow Americans. Our immediate concerns are mask safety, experimental genetic technology, medical freedom, Maine energy and environmental topics and much more.

Who are We? The Maine Anchor is non – partisan as a whole, and our contributors identify as Democrat, Republican, Green Party, and Independent. (Our Libertarian contributors neither confirm nor deny any political affiliation, and will shoot you if you ask.) Among the ranks of our newspaper and growing community are nurses, doctors, lawyers, citizens, nationals, granola people, radical liberals (as well as the regular kind), gun nuts, farmers, holistic practitioners, and people of many trades and walks of life.

The binding tie is that we all love and appreciate our country and communities. We may often disagree on many matters, but these days all of us are completely on the same page in regard to issues which none of us can avoid the impact of. The issues that we all share the brunt of, well, we must discuss them openly and with transparency no matter how sensitive the topic. We do not sugar coat.

Journalism is a community service, and our group was born out of heartfelt service towards community. Throughout the coming publications by our team, we want to invite our readers to take a step back from all the noise in order to try to make some sense of all of this unfolding chaos.

We want to bring you the most important news first. In other words, the absolute most relevant information which matters to us all, right now. While we may use some satire and humor to get our stories and viewpoints across, much of what we discuss is of grave concern. Reporting stories on these subjects is not easy.
