Thanks and welcome aboard. Been having writers block for some reason lately so not too too much original writing, but I like to think Im putting out good info either way.
Agreed! No worry about sharing others' content. I'm immersed now in reviewing the huge list of stacks you've subscribed to ~ many of which are new to me.
Much appreciated ~ both original and shared content!
It seems we have a lot in common and I'm glad your stack was recommended by Christopher Cook! I'm looking forward to reading through some of your earlier stacks.
A very smart approach on your welcome. I do pay money to several sites, but I'm retired and the future looks grim. But if I find value in your work, I won't be a parasite. You didn't mention where you live. I'm always interested in that (not detailed) because it does affect our worldview. I live in Eastern NC in a small town very near a military base. I'm often out of step with my neighbors and acquaintances. I'm looking forward to hearing what you have to say because I'm always looking for truth, and not too interested in beliefs.
I'm in PA pretty much right along the border with NJ (If you know Billy Joel's song Allentown, that's written about this area). Regarding my worldview and how it came about, all I can really think of is my mother always taught me to question everything. Plus I began reading an encyclopedia set I had when I was 4 yrs old, and maybe in 2nd grade I taught myself some real basic coding after my dad got me a computer, so I suppose the thirty for knowledge has been there from the start. And I would suspect that being I am what I call a 'math & science' nerd, my brain just goes where the info leads. In math (and coding) there is no room for feelings or agendas, it just is. It works or it doesn't. And that's kinda how I try to approach everything. Obviously I, like everyone, have my biases on certain issues, but I have no problem whatsoever changing my mind when something goes against any preconceived notions I may have (goes back to math brain).
Isn't it amazing how the internet lets us know people that we would never meet otherwise? I'm 75, and don't have a math mind at all. But I'm very, very interested in truth. Maybe it's because I've had to reevaluate almost everything I thought I knew. It started with 9/11 because once the bell has been rung, it can't be unrung. Like you, I had a parent that encouraged me to think, but it took years to take root. He would argue with a post, so the landscape was planted years ago.
While I don't have a math mind, I don't like basing anything on feelings. We all have them, but I think feelings are not facts, and we can control our feelings by how we think.
I look forward to reading your newsletter and hope I can keep up!
78 here & I knew JFK, RFK, MLK, etc were murdered by the CIA but never connected all the dots until this Psyop. It was VERY DIFFICULT to accept that 9/11 was caused by our government. Who would think that Americans would murder over 3,000 Americans to cover up missing money. Now I know that every horrible thing that has happened in the USA in the past since JFK was done by these monsters. And who knows they probably killed Lincoln. And you are absolutely right, once the bell has been rung it can’t be unrung. I never thought I would be so disillusioned at the end of my life.
I think its safe to assume nearly all assassinations, whether attempted or successful, of heads of state and other prominent people all throughout history, no matter the nation, have been perpetrated by who ever the specific 'they' may be at the time.
Looking forward to reading Your work here. Truly wish I had $$$ to pay, but sadly... Zippy for now. (Been zippy for 15 years, and is a long story.)
I have a substack, too, but not much there. LOL!
Yea I understand zippy all too well
[hugs!]
So glad to find your newsletter! Looking forward to reading more . . . .

Someone linked it in another substack. Just thought you’d like to know.
Hey Joel! Nice intro! It sounds as though we have a lot in common. I'm looking forward to reading through your stacks.

Great intro to who you are btw!
Thank you, and welcome to my train wreck :)
