Let's hope Substack doesn't get to the point where payment processors refuse to service them. I cannot see it getting that point with this platform in particular, but I cannot say I would be surprised to see it happen in this environment either.

The earliest invocation of Russia I remember hearing was at, I believe, the second Presidential debate somewhere around September 2015. I remember shouting out dumbfounded in my house watching Clinton fabricate some nonsense conspiracy. Then it blew up and became a multi-year, socially damaging crusade. I agree completely, this casual logic ignorance that these institutions didn't make themselves untrustworthy is appalling. People hate these people because these people are terrible, not because Russia or space aliens beamed messages into their brains on social media. The supposition that people are just stupid sheep (which is what they themselves think and want) is beyond offensive.

Lastly, it makes so little sense to me to sit there hyping propaganda about Russia because one could easily look at it and say, "Well god damn, the United States is weak and stupid. Look how this Putin guys runs circles around them in his sleep." I have not seen anyone bring this up but this is the perspective I always see when the Russiagate clown car pulls up. I don't see the logic behind this course of action in terms of image.

It was that Tucker interview that brought me to you and substack and it was well worth the travel. It's well past tiresome and well into dangerous what the main stream media is doing to our country. We need to turn every breath of fresh air, like yours, into a torrential wind if we are to win this fight against the propaganda we are force fed. Thanks you for what you are doing !
