Yeah, I never started writing on Substack thinking I would ever make money or think it's going to be the next "YouTube millionaire" opportunity. I felt that what I had to say was more important than an income (even though that would be nice). Like others have mentioned, I agree with you regarding some of these other writers. I have much more respect for those authors who stay engaged with their readers and have smaller followings and I don't subscribe to the big Stacks because the banter gets lost in the weeds.
I thought I had an opportunity when my post about the YGLs went up to monetise this blog but I quickly found out that was not going to happen. And considering the reach that it had at the time (probably 1000s of tweets linking to it) it is still surprising to me that there’s only just under 100 likes on it. Free speech might apply here to a degree but reach seems to be moderated.
Money sure does create issues in Our lives... I ask for none for My work, asking for shares instead. But then... I'm already homeless and destitute, so I can't lose much. And I'm working to solve for the problems money creates, the least not being that it will promote psychopaths to the top of the heap.
I agree 100% with Your assessment of Malone, et al. And I ponder the Many who speak of "no virus" (which I agree with) who also are not seeking solutions but rather have a "move on" aspect going.
Why, when We see the issues to We point to them and then suggest nothing We can do to solve for the problems. I have no support (in shares) of anyOne "big" in the scene. It's like They want to keep the status quo so They can profit off it. Never mind that We ALL (except for the psychopaths) profit to the max when We eliminate the need for money and are able to survive richly therefore.
I will miss the regular posts You make, but grasp Your position. May We solve for poverty and the need to add Our energy into a slave system to have enough to live.
Yeadon looks genuine still to me in his advocacy against the covid vaccines. But coming on as Tim whatever to my blog and dissing me was a shit move on his part, so he joins my list of to dos.
Yeah, Yeadon seems sincere, and as I recall, touched His toes into the "no virus" side of things. But I ponder why He has not met with an "accident" as so Many high-up Ones who pull away from the establishment do - unless Their roll is to mislead.
CJ Hopkins kicked me off his substack last month for mentioning (in a comment) an article by P.C.Roberts on controversial historian David Irving (who is best known, famously or infamously, depending on one's bloodtype, for actually doing research on the great H*). Hopkins accused me of supporting a H* denier, which (his words) "is one of the quickest ways to get banned from my replies." << but Hopkins'reasoning here's wrong on two counts, because I only mentioned Irving's work, not supporting it per sé and Irving's not a H* denier but a researcher whose work has pivoted towards a non-mainstream narrative. all the while bantering away with Hopkins himself being in this vile court case in Germany, defending freedom of speech.
Don’t take it personally mary-Lou? I hadn’t heard of him…not that that means anything.
I looked him up and thought he was quite ordinary. There are a lot of quite-aggressive comments, which is a reflection of him and it was said many paid commenters are leaving. Perhaps, take it more as a compliment.
thank you for the comment, but indeed, I was mainly surprised by the whole thing. the main point (for me at least) is that anyone's published work is, per definition, open to further scrutiny, whether one does or doesn't agree with its content. also I got more interested in research that looked further into the image-bulding surrounding the H* ever since I learnt that big Hollywood names were directly involved in filming the liberation of the German concentration camps (and thus able & expected to direct the narrative) - https://hyperallergic.com/426644/lamoth-filming-the-camps-the-holocaust/
He has 10k+ commentators and his posts are open. Which means from my experience (backed up by what others have said) that he has about 1% paid subscribers which correlates to about 4k income a year. So he must have a sponsor.
Irving does have a few biases but it’s not like his foes didn’t have their own. I have read one of his books but I don’t think that it was on the H* (that could be a few things really). I havn’t read any Deborah Lipstadt books I must admit. Hopkins is clearly overcompensating in banning you but then Germany does have those H* laws so maybe he has to overcompensate on that issue considering his current position. Probably not a great idea to double down.
And you are correct that both have/are facing similar trials. But I doubt that Hopkins is about to be bankrupted and nor will he be found guilty in my view.
I think that he’s had one win but is still up on the charges. He’s done some theatre productions in the past (like about 3 in 30 years) so maybe this is another one of those.
Maybe better if I say, I have very noisy tree trimmers working here so was distracted. The head guy is from Napier…good to hang out for a short while with a Kiwi.
spot on. 'all the world's a stage' and sometimes it shows more clearly than at other times. big TQ for all the work you do. leaving Notes seems wise: they're not easy to read or comment on.
If anybody wonders why Michael Yeadon comes across as nervous half the time well it might be due to all these fucking dystopian IP (trademarks, patents etc) that he’s involved with. I thought that was the bad guys doing this Michael?
I’ve just found his old LinkedIn account. Interesting reading.
That firm that he started up with all 3 employees that Pfizer both invested in and gave him the IP to start his company with and a company that was later sold to Novartis for 345m USD doesn’t really look like a real firm to me. Despite all the generous funding from the venture capital end of town.
Also in last year of Uni he was at Porter Down for a year or more.
Oh no writing a brain worms blog isn't paying your bills? Time to get a job Richard
James Halcrow and Sasha Latypova - made for each other.
Sasha is my alt
Your alt is David Seymour.
you poor baby. Trashing people does not pay?? So sad for you.
You seem to do ok by it, Sasha.

Agree with you about the larger authors.

Yes my aim in researching these guys was not so much to catch them out but rather to understand the motivation.
I grasp. [smile] I too don't look to catching People out, but to grasp whether They're motivated by heart or by money.

(Tucker C. is one of those, in My estimation...)
His back story, before he went to Uni, sounds a bit batshit as well tbh.
Can't say I'm familiar with His back story... And I will likely not bother to go looking... LOL! Better things to do with My time, I suppose. Haha!
Reuters investigates a skeptics story.
Tell me what you think if you go and have a look.
Yes, indeed, just use it as a way of publishing what you were going to do anyway.
Certainly don't want you to be under pressure to research all the frauds.
Only if it is a bit of fun doing the "gotcha".
I have been trying to do more light hearted things.
Like art classes and fitness classes and more drinks with the boys.
Best wishes to you and thank you for what you have done.
Thanks Cairn.

I skimmed through his case and I think I read that he got off - not guilty.
I think that he’s had one win but is still up on the charges. He’s done some theatre productions in the past (like about 3 in 30 years) so maybe this is another one of those.
It was the one in the German Court that I read about.
I know. I was joking, suggesting that it was all theatre.
Is that what Hopkins is known for - theatre?
I am a bit slow…have told you that before.
Maybe better if I say, I have very noisy tree trimmers working here so was distracted. The head guy is from Napier…good to hang out for a short while with a Kiwi.
Saying that I’m no fan of David Irving. But freedom of speech laws arn’t for those you support, they’re also for those who you don’t support.
spot on. 'all the world's a stage' and sometimes it shows more clearly than at other times. big TQ for all the work you do. leaving Notes seems wise: they're not easy to read or comment on.
I don't do notes.
Have I been missing out?
I assume so, but hey, I have enough going on in my life.
Probably a little too like Twitter.
There's a bit more democracy on line, but after a while people judge one by what one has already said.
A bit like Toastmasters.
Have to leave because everyone is predictable and playing favourites.

There is something odd with him. I find him difficult to watch.
I'm a bit nervous myself since 2020.
Oblivious prior.
I’ve been to Deal, Sandwich, Broadstairs. Such idyllic little places. And yet Pfizer is there.
Are they on the tourist trail?
Never heard of them.
No they’re not although all are somewhat popular with locals. I just happened to end up there a couple of times.
Thanks for the coffee btw.
I’ve just found his old LinkedIn account. Interesting reading.

Also in last year of Uni he was at Porter Down for a year or more.
The profile pic is a bit odd as well.

Not a happy grin for sure.
Guess he is naturally a nervous guy.
A big thank you Richard.
You put in a lot of work, engage well with all of us and by doing so the topics are kept lively,
along with a lot of fun. Quite a skill there. I look forward to what you consider next to be worthy
of exposure - only of course, when it suits and within your own time frame.
Thanks Fay.
It’s the final scene in the movie The Thing. Everyone is suspect including you and I. Passing you the whiskey bottle.
Thanks. Good idea.
