Value for Value
Issue #144
Have you enjoyed reading this newsletter since I started publishing it 33 months ago? Are you better informed? Has it provided useful, practical, timely and actionable information? Has it helped you to profit, prevent or solve a problem, or avoid pain or regret? Has it helped you improve your health, knowledge, finances or preparations? Has it allowed you to discover great books and documentaries? Has it helped you become a better person? Has it helped you live a more fulfilled life? Has it provided good value?
If so, please consider supporting my work by becoming a paid subscriber. If I have provided value to you, you can return some of that value to me. It has never been more important to support independent writers like the ones here on Substack. I support a number of them myself.
Independent, fearless journalists who pursue the truth no matter where it may lead are nearly extinct. The Legacy Media has been captured and hopelessly corrupted by the Pharma-Big Food-Big Tech-Military Industrial Complex. Writers who are critical thinkers, ask questions, raise concerns, criticize the Powers That Be, and speak Truth to Power are increasingly being shadow banned, censored, demonetized, deplatformed and canceled.
Now more than ever, they need your support to keep pursuing the truth and publishing it for all to see. The fate of your family, your community and even the world depends on this tiny group of passionate, fearless writers.
Additionally, due to massive and unprecedented debt and leverage, moral hazard, accelerating societal decline, dependence on fragile technology and infrastructure, and a maelstrom of complex systems, we are rapidly approaching a sudden cascading collapse, and time is running out to prepare. There are few other publications that provide the information you'll need to make it through the coming Hard Times.
For hundreds of years, patrons have supported promising artists so they would have the time and energy to fully pursue their craft. You don't need to be wealthy to become a patron, and I don't need thousands of patrons. Heck, even just one very generous donation from a Founding Member would allow me to continue publishing this newsletter.
If you'd like to support me monthly, you can do so for $6, or get an annual paid subscription for $59. If you'd like to do more, you can become a Founding Member for $250 (or whatever amount you feel led to do). You can also gift a paid subscription to someone else, and a group (2 or more) paid subscription is 20% less.
Another huge way that you could support me is by telling your friends about me and this newsletter. Forward an issue to them that you think they would like. Send them the URL to my website. And most importantly, post a link to an issue somewhere online, which always gets me a number of new subscribers.
In closing, I would like to find out what type of content you would like to see more of, so please take this quick poll.
You are the reason I write this newsletter every week, and I appreciate your interest, feedback and support. Thank you!

Just upgraded to paid subscriber, reckoning I got a bargain at this nominal fee. As distorted as the legacy is and has been for years, it seems it's about to get much worse as AI continues to accelerate across all media platforms. How to separate the wheat from the chaff when our lives may depend on getting it right? Research effort on our part, continued good work on Rob's part, seem to be our best if not only hope.
