acratas.net: the 'cursed' blog the establishment wants to silence
What do 9/11, the pandemic and October 7 have in common? For those behind acratas.net, the hand of international Zionism pulling the strings. A blog founded in 2006 that, according to its operators, takes no money from anyone, has become a target of the official narrative. When you try to access it from certain browsers, an insecure-site warning appears. It is not because of bicho – they insist – but because of the ideas.
A 'cursed place' with no profit motive
The blog, founded by the user Mess, describes itself as a space for free thought, with no advertising or sponsorships. In a context where the counter-information of the 2000s has been disappearing or being absorbed, acratas.net keeps going with a minimal team. They publish analyses ranging from the consequences of circumcision to global geopolitics. One of their most cited articles links the death of Elizabeth II to ELbichito vaccines. Those who defend it consider it Spain's most original opinion blog; those who criticize it, a nest of childish conspiracies.
The theory of October 7 and 9/11 as false flags
The thread in question drifts toward two major topics. The first: the October 7, 2023 attack in Israel. According to the thesis defended there, Israel financed Hamas through the UAE, Mossad knew of the plans and allowed the massacre as a pretext to unleash the destruction of Gaza. It is not a new idea – it was already applied to 9/11 with the Bush administration and Rumsfeld – but here it is presented as a systematic pattern of the elites. The second topic: the pandemic as an illegal lockdown designed to imitate the Chinese model, and the West's envy of the Asian giant.
Not everyone buys it. Some readers recall that acratas.net was a reference site 20 years ago alongside La Haine or Rebelión, but that it has lost steam both in readers and authors. The webmaster's tone, who responds to criticism with insults, does not help either. "If you don't like it, don't read it. We don't justify ourselves here," he snapped at a user.
Poll and ostracism
An improvised poll revealed that only 1 in 4 participants had a good opinion of the blog. The rest consider it part of the past or outright dangerous because of its anti-system and antisemitic drift. Even so, its creators present it as a think tank that evolved into the "El Sens" project. They interpret the threat of being an "insecure site" in browsers as further proof that the system wants to eliminate any dissenting voice.
The debate over acratas.net is not an isolated case. It is the story of how independent counter-information spaces survive – or not – in the era of algorithmic censorship and tech giants. And as long as the blog remains on WordPress, with not a cent of funding, the question is whether it will endure another 20 years or end up in the same archive as Kaos en la Red.
