Should You Trust Us?
The short answer is no, of course. Trust is earned, and comes with experience.
Only you can decide if the site delivers on its promises.
Bird’s Eye View was developed to offer a reliable resource for whistleblowers and other truth-tellers who are speaking out about challenging, non-mainstream subjects.
Over time, we hope you’ll agree that this is a trustworthy place for information and resources.
But time is a precious resource and no one wants to be sucked into something that isn’t what it claims to be.
So how can you efficiently evaluate if a person or website is trustworthy? There are a few things you might consider, but agenda is a great place to start.
Our Agenda
Oftentimes, it takes some sleuthing to discern the motive behind “free” services. We’ll save you some time and give you the motive and agenda upfront:
At Bird’s Eye View, there’s no political agenda and you’re not being sold anything.
You’re not seen as a consumer or a voter or a follower. You’re simply seen as a human being — a unique individual with your own outlook and purpose, doing your best with this “wild and precious life.”
Bird’s Eye View is a volunteer effort to promote the empowerment of individuals and communities — no matter their political system, party, religion, culture or affiliations.
First and foremost, the purpose of the site is to: Provide resources to support whistleblowers and other truth-tellers who are sharing challenging or disturbing truths — such as corruption, abuse, or knowledge that is complex, or has been hidden.
In addition, the site is designed to:
- Foster increasing awareness and access to a multiplicity of sources and perspectives that can positively transform people and the planet.
- Make independent and alternative sources of information more accessible and verifiable.
- Encourage and inspire curiosity, reasoning, and independence of thought.
- Empower individuals to more effectively discern truth from lies, to address the stress associated with disturbing information, and to take informed, productive action.

What is Known vs Mystery & Opinion
The focus here is on tough, non-mainstream subjects. With such subjects, transparent sourcing is vital in order to be clear about who is reporting what and why. Here we “show our work” so that you can verify and investigate assertions and sources as you wish.
For example, when you select, What is The Deep State? you see a detailed summary of testimony provided by an ex-CIA counterintelligence officer and whistleblower. You can quickly check out his video presentation. That way, you can judge the context, and his integrity, for yourself.
Equally important in sourcing is separating mystery and opinion from what is genuinely known. What is known is only a part of the truth; it’s just the nature of the world that we’re all like blind men feeling different parts of the elephant. Still, separating what is known from what is opinion is the nature of research and scientific investigation, and it’s a jumping-off point from which we can then evaluate hypotheses in a quest for understanding.
So, in the Deep State example, after viewing the video of the ex-CIA officer, you can then return to an organized summary of the key points to more easily review particular aspects of the testimony in a structured way.
Many topics here can seem fantastical if you’re unfamiliar with the evidence, so you’ll often see many sources to get a good sense for who exactly is offering testimony and research. For example, in U.S. Government Crimes Against Civilians, you’ve got quick access to the sources associated with each program. That means you can see the evidence supporting each assertion for yourself: declassified documents, congressional hearings, articles from investigative journalists and videos and books by witnesses.
If a source is included here, there’s evidence that’s it worth considering. But you won’t have to wade through opinions and unacknowledged assumptions to find the actual facts of what is being reported. The evidence itself may point to something outrageous, but the presentation of that evidence is done without adding layers of opinion.
