I'm saddened to say that Brother Nathanael’s greatly underappreciated site, Real Jew News, is no more. He took it down about three weeks ago. Not just stopped producing material… it got holocausted! An internet search for RJN now leads nowhere.
Happily, you can still find it at The Wayback Machine. Real Jew News is a hidden treasure of a sort. Definitely worth viewing and reading. Both +BN's take on things, and the many comments:

And Brother Nathanel seems to be doing fine. His YT channel Bible With Brother is still up and running:

I suspect the lack of contributions to RJN turned into a drought. Brother Nate had been saying he was in poor shape financially due to declining contributions there towards the end. The Jews probably saw this and approached him with an offer he couldn't refuse. At least that’s how I see it.
Failed Messiah's owner supposedly received - and took - an offer too. Someone wrote an article about it, saying some Orthodox Jews offered him a s*** load of shekels - somewhere around one quarter million USD - to take it down (it has since re-surfaced as an archival project).

If that's what happened with RJN then I hope Brother Nathanael got at least that much, and will get to enjoy his golden years with peace of mind. He deserves to.
Another great site that seems to have folded the tent is The Irish Savant. While the site is still easily accessible online, the Savant hasn't posted an article in over four months, which is highly unusual for him. He mentioned that he was moving abroad but would be back to blogging in less than two weeks. At my age it's a worrisome sign when people disappear like that.
Keep him in your prayers.

Of course there are still lots of good sites out there for those of us who reject imposed narratives. But there are lots of false front websites too... pretending to be something they're not. I can promise you though that this blog isn't one of them.
