Note to ICH community.
 
For years, we have been having a continuing problem with Gmail, who often reject our newsletter, sending it to the spam or trash folders.  
 
More than 20,000 of our newsletter recipients receive our news using their Gmail accounts and often find the following graphic inserted into our newsletter by Gmail, which as you can imagine has a very negative effect on our new community members.
 
Gmail inserts this scandalous message into our newsletter to discourage our readers. 

 
Another form of intimidation, Google often removes the links from the articles, making it difficult and time consuming for our readers to find the items listed in our newsletter.
 
Google refuses to list our website or articles we publish in their "news section" thereby reducing our ability to reach new readers and grow our community, in spite of our having been active for more than 18 years and never been accused of posting fake news as has our mainstream Pro-War press.
 
I am bringing this to your attention again because we will be making some changes to our newsletter format. In today's newsletter the links to the individual news items and opinion pieces are embedded into the title of the article. Click on the link to read the article in full.
 
I would ask that anyone who has experienced these problems get a new email address and re-subscribe to the newsletter.  
 
As you may know, ICH has developed a reputation as one of the webs most trusted sources of news and information and is recommended around the world by some of our most valued and respected journalists.
 
Help us to inform others by posting the newsletter or articles to your social media, in order that we can escape this Gmail gulag. Free speech has being imprisoned. 
 
If you have any problems with our newsletter, please remember you can read the articles on our website at http://www.informationclearinghouse.info
