ON SUBSTACK
Not sure I totally agree with
on this one but I do agree that you should be reaching an audience directly, without the filter of a social media company and the false validation or artifical amplification of likes/RTs while others are heavily suppressed.I always try to get the perspective of a local.
brings a viewpoint we can’t get in the USA on this one. And he’s become a friend, thanks to Substack Notes.Damn that
for being so damn on point when she’s trying to be satirical. I adore her posts, and abhor the people whose horrible behavior she writes hilariously describes, colorfully.We’re going to cover all of the first 4 CTI Files uncovered by
and + Michael Shellenberger (who I can’t tag) on How Did We Miss That. These are also really important, the offshoot of a larger strategy documented back in 2020 by Whitney Webb at Unlimited Hangout.One of the best aggregators on the web. Such respect for the people who maually curate a large sample consistently, daily. I did it for 3+ years. It’s exhausting and mostly thankless.
is awesome, and if you can, PLEASE support them!

Listen to us talk about the current state of Internet censorship, how it is being used against people speaking loudly against the ethnic cleansing of Gaza. They perfected the model on the 2020 Election & COVID, then refined it further with Ukraine/Russia (when are we going to start winning, again?).Very simple.
has a way of boiling something down to it’s simplest form to analyze if we should condone or condemn it.AT&T investigated itself and realized how horrible they are politically. Will they do something about it? Guessing no. They need to bribe Republicans to pass authoritarian policies, too. They buy politicians on both sides of the aisle unapologetically to help them avoid anti-trust suits, push for favorable bills & potentially to avoid the attention of the people they buy off. Great money chasers at
