History Main / VoiceOfTheResistance

** The Other Light during Christ's Millennial Reign in ''Kingdom Come'' rely mostly on their manifesto which claims that GodIsEvil because He ruined the name and reputation of Lucifer, plus He won't allow "naturals" to [[DeathsHourglass live past 100 years of age]] as unbelievers.

* In the Dread Empire's Fall books, the Resistance publishes a newspaper through the enemy-controlled computer systems.

* John Connor in ''[[{{Terminator}} Terminator: Salvation]]'', as per the page quote. His broadcasts contain his message of hope, along with useful advice about fighting the machines.
** He is doing that against his superiors' wishes, though.

** Well, not every city has been destroyed yet, just those with populations over 1 million

*** Rendered hilarious by the fact that the more tech-saavy counter-revolutionaries had collected the parts to build their own photocopier.

* Al-Manar, multimedia organization run by Hezbollah of Lebanon. Do NOT click go to its website within the United States (at least). BigBrotherIsWatching.[[hottip:*:You won't get arrested, but you might get red-flagged.]]

Attention tropers! Calling all willing and able-bodied [[CoolPeopleRebelAgainstAuthority rebels and sympathizers]] everywhere! TheEvilArmy has swept upon us in a flash, supplanting our administrators, monitoring our discussions, and flooding our on-site ads with propaganda! YKTTW is no longer safe! All formerly reliable channels have been domineered! TheQuisling controls all stations, papers, and broadcasts!

* China Mieville's ''PerdidoStreetStation'' has the city being run by an oppressive government, but there's an underground newspaper named "the Runagate Rampant." Of course, this being a CrapsackWorld, things don't work out so well for them.

** A purportedly secret radio station which nonetheless has a call-in number. More than enough for the FCC to come down on them like a hammer.
*** [=RFR=] takes place in Canada. So maybe as long as they keep their [=CanCon=] quotas, the CRTC won't care.

* In ''WorldWarZ'', the resistance radio 'Radio Free Earth' was actually an international effort to broadcast information to survivors around the world. It's "resistance" because zombies cover most of the planet. The transmissions were broadcast from a ship at sea, with a full crew of operators in relative safety. The translators and broadcast operators have hectic, but important jobs, sending the information to as many regions in as many languages as possible. The operators in reception get to spend every possible moment gathering information by listening in to government and civilian transmissions from around the world as the zombies take over. By the time the book takes place, ''every one of the latter has already killed themselves''.

* [[MeaningfulName Michael Liberty]] in the {{Starcraft}} expanded universe.

* The TropeNamer is ''{{Babylon 5}}''--"The Voice of the Resistance" was broadcast from the Babylon 5 station by Susan Ivanova when Earth was under the control of [[PresidentEvil President Clark]].
** [[OlderThanTheyThink It would be the trope namer]], if that very name hadn't been used many times and ''far'' earlier in RealLife.
** In fact Sheridan mentions getting the name from the French Resistance.

* TheBBC served this purpose for occupied Europe during WorldWarII, even to the extent that it was used to give secret messages to the French Resistance.
** They would begin their news broadcasts with, "This is London calling." Thus The Clash song.

Now war is declared, and battle come down.''
