I think I uncovered (what should be) two blockbuster pieces of news from simply reading Reader Comments sections.
Two and 1/2 years ago, I found a post from a man named “Shane” from Marin County, California who said convincingly that he had Covid in the “fall of 2019” “far earlier than anyone else he’d heard of.”
Shane made these comments in the NY Times Comment Section. He went on to say he got two positive antibody tests and even listed the places he got these tests. So if Shane is telling the truth, we know that someone had a bad case of Covid probably in September or October 2019. This would be the fist “known” Covid case in the world … if the NY Times had went to the trouble of identifying and interviewing Shane, which the paper could have done but didn’t do of course.
After I found the fist Covid case in America, last month I found the first Covid case in the UK - a lady who had a severe case (requiring hospitalization!) in November 2019. She also said she tested positive for antibodies.
So this lady, if she is not fibbing, would be the fist known case in the UK by months … if the Daily Mail (where she made her comments) had followed up with the person making these stunning claims.
I should note that I have emailed the NY Times' "news tip" email address three times now, including a link to their own Reader Comments section and telling whoever reads these "news tips" they ought to at least contact Shane. They must have his email address, street address and credit card info. I know this because I had to give all that info when I was a paid subsciber. Anyway, Crickets, from the NY Times. "All the news that's fit to print."

My doctor in S. FL said that she became convinced that it had swept through her office staff in early Nov. 2019. Everyone got sick, treated it as flu, but knew it was something different. Puzzled her.
Boy, I'd love to interview your doctor. Next time you talk to her ask her if she'd let me talk to her. I can do it and keep her anonymous. But a doctor saying that about November cases with her own staff might be fairly significant to my thesis. Thanks for sharing this anecdote.
Thanks. Can't hurt to ask, I guess. My personal doctor told me that it was his "gut instinct" that the virus was here in late 2019. I've got a friend in medical sales. He tells me he heard the same thing from plenty of his doctor customers.
Unfortunately, I no longer trust her. She refused to treat any patients with COVID. and is no longer doing ANY hospital visitation, at all. I had to pull that out of her with direct questions. I know that her other patients don't know that she essentially abandoned them.
Of course, she knew that I knew early about HCQ & IVM, and got them for me and my friends, so I guess she thought I'd be OK, but still...
There was a significant antibody test done on blood donations pre-November 2019. That settled it for me- might take some digging to find the conclusive reference.
Makes a lot more sense than ground zero for the U.S. being a nursing home in Seattle. 😂
Wow Bill! You are SOOO RIGHT! As a little old retired lady that doesn't physically socialize much at all anymore....Substack has become my world of information & LEARNING! And, man oh man, l am so very grateful for all l have learned....
So many wonderful, knowledgeable authors who have been incredibly informative but yes, it's the commenters with their brilliant insights & the fantastic links they share that is my very favorite feature of Substack.
In a world that has gone evil & insane over the past 3 years (well, long before but l was unaware)....anyway, Substack with it's amazing commenters has kept me sane & informed. And allows me, in my own small way, to help others in my sphere of influence, to pass critical information on to others.
Substack has been a blessing! As have you dear man! Keep up your great work! You are very much appreciated!
Thanks for those nice words, Laurie. Goal 1 is to grow my audience, but Goal 2 is to produce a lively and fun Reader Comment Section that people want to check out from time to time.
I also comb Reader Comments carefully because I get some great news tips there. Plus, some commenters know things nobody else knows and they make original points nobody else has made. And I have found hundreds of linked articles that I never would have found otherwise.
It's very interesting that you noticed the importance of comments... We are a gurerilla army, fighting for truth against evil people...This is effective warfare, AND because our enemies used it first on us, we know it's effective.
Americanthinker.com has a paid comment section. Before you had to pay to comment, the comments at some times were more brilliant than the subject covered in the article being commented on. Their paywall ruined the comment section.
There are a lot of brilliant educated people looking for real news information.
Used to love that site! Then Moran and a bunch of others went very nasty on Trump in 2015. They got proved wrong and backed off, but now, I don't trust them. But yes, it was a truly mind-provoking site, great comments as well.
Ditto!! Once I found Substack I felt like I’d entered a sane world full of helpful information. I tell others about Substack being my go-to place & how the commenting community is as good as the official writers.
We all talk about possible solutions. I think one of the easiest to achieve, which might make a real difference, is if more people discovered Substack. We've somehow got to go around the "gatekeepers of the news." So if we can keep educating more people about Substack. If these people can just find 10 really good sites, this will/might change their world view.
I’d never heard of Substack until I read your article about going independent to make it on your own. We American’s not only root for the underdog, we support the underdogs.
Kane @ CFP did a pretty good analogy of the breakdown % of readers (something like 3.8%) that would support his effort financially to supplant the Drudge Report in web traffic… and the money that he would need to accomplish that goal. I couldn’t wait to contribute to that worthy cause!… to take down the pompous, arrogant traitor, Matt Drudge. Is there anything worse than a traitor? I think not!
The word of mouth through free speech and people sharing links is so incredibly powerful… It absolutely rocked the elite power brokers of the MSM/NWO agenda… and it was we the readers at CFP that helped build that site into the juggernaut that it is becoming. Kane did the heavy lifting, but we did our part as well. I hope Kane doesn’t ever forget his roots… now that he has a site that is well worth a Billion $$$ which happened in a very short time frame.
I watch CFP’s web traffic #’s as Kane reports them every month to his readers so we can see “our” progress… and they just keep creeping up higher every month… Which proves, there’s more good guys out there than bad guys, we vastly outnumber them. We’re in a war for the hearts and minds of our nation to save our nation (The Great Awakening) and we’re winning that war, most people don’t even realize that fact.
Hear! Hear! I need to make a contribution to CFP too. I'll do that. If the world was "fair," he'd have at least 10 big regular advertisers at his site. These are middle-of-the-road, salt-of-the-earth Americans who advertisers should be lining up to reach. Sites like CFP are actually being boycotted by corporate America, which is an indirect form of censorship. I might do a story on this topic in the future.
Kane has poled his readership multiple times about a couple ads on the site which wouldn’t bother me in the least… but wow, some people get their panties in a wad over an ad and respond “absolutely no ads”!!!
I don’t get that but that’s just me…
And no ads is going to work on CFP for only so long. At some point fairly soon, it’ll take a million + bucks to run that site to keep it growing in page views. I have no problem with a banner ad and/or targeted ads (targeted conservative ads aka MyPillow) but detest the pop-up ads = click, I’m outta there.
You can’t make a buck with an empty cart, it’s gonna take something to keep the lights on and Wheaties in the cupboard. Popcorn farts and fairy dust only works in the leftists world of economics.
People are starving for truth and people are diligently hunting those people who will bring “it”. Glad I found your page, now lets grow it.
Oh, so it's an intentional decision to not run ads. I didn't know that. Thanks for telling me. All the more reason to support the site with contributions. He is definitely running lots of taboo articles we'd never see otherwise.
Don't be ridiculous. The site had to BEG programmers to help him last time when it crashed. If its that well runned and robust, they would have hired true professionals. I'm not as impressed with CFP anymore. In the beginning, I thought they were a breath of fresh air. Now, they are just like the rest of the media and social media sites. In fact, their shadow banning is the worse of them all. I still go to the site from time to time to catch up on interesting subjects, but I seldom read any comments because its becoming obvious that it is a cesspool.
Exactly what I found. I used to avoid comment sections because the quality of comments was so poor. Now I get as much information from comments on my go-to sites as I do from the articles. Lots of intelligent people out there who haven't been fooled.
I found substack because of censorship. I appreciate the comment section greatly, having a voice and have found many helpful & relevant links from other commenters. I had become gun shy to share after being censored on Facebook and YouTube constantly.
Our stories are identical. I sincerely think Substack is a Secret Weapon in fighting all of these false narratives. This makes me think some powerful people must be plotting how to silence or sabotage this platform, although I hope I am wrong.
I had a comment about the Grant Wahl tragedy removed the other day and I am going to not renew my subscription to The Athletic. I was highly respectful of him and they removed it. They can go to hell.
I read zero hedge but I don’t have a subscription.
I can tell you that although we all know that the vaccines have hurt far too many people that there will be a day that will come where my words to some of these people will get me in a lot of trouble because I’m coming for them. They can always say I’m sorry and I will walk the other way but if they don’t it’s game on. Depending on what Elon has on Fauci that day may come as soon as today.
Never in my entire life have I stood by allowing someone to hurt another person. Why would I suddenly make that OK to occur at this stage? That’s why if they say they are sorry it will force me to look deep inside but if they don’t I’m making their lives miserable.
So The Athletic is still the same. If nothing else, it seems like some executive might say, "You know, banning posters who don't agree with us probably isn't helping us grow our revenues."
I guess they don't care. The woke or politically correct message is more important than growing the business.
Probably. But how are they getting the money? I guess they are being subsidized by the Powers that Be or get all kind of benefits and favors from "playing ball." Or: They are afraid to NOT play ball. It seems to me they might be cutting their own throats ... but they don't care.
That's what I want to know. We know that the censorship club was huge and active -- it looks like they basically just sat around waiting for people to tweet 'bad' things they could get banned for. How on earth has nobody exposed this before -- if not at Twitter, then FB/Google/etc?
I did a story a couple weeks ago on the "Misinformation Warriors" who are getting all these grants to identify people like us and stop them. They have seeded colleges all across America, plus media sites are being paid to do this as well. It's a huge operation that has been growing for years. This suggests that someone knew this ground-work had to be done before they started implementing the rest of their real program.
Most people don’t realize the Trump presidency was a Military operation and, that Military operation continues to this day. President Trump signed the Insurrection Act before leaving office in January 2021… which put the US Military in charge… I saw a stat a couple months ago that the Military said there’s 6/10’s of 1% of Americans that know what’s actually going on… and roughly 3% that kinda know what’s going on (stats were based on IP addresses in the US).
If you want to have a great day, go to realrawnews.com and scroll back through the tribunal pages of the Deep State Traitors that have been arrested, tried, sentenced and most of them hanged in GITMO… Go back to (roughly) August/September of 2021 and you’ll have a very nice day when you come to Anthony Fauci’s tribunal.
The US Military is in control, they showed us their CGI capabilities very early on… they can create anything under the sun that they want us to see or hear… any person, voice, place, location, weather it doesn’t matter.
Don’t believe it? Joe BidAn’s Inauguration took place at 11:50 AM on January 20, 2021. That is/was Illegal (a clue). Joe BidAn’s Inauguration that was televised on that day was a bright, sunny day but the actual weather in Washington DC was a grey, cloudy, overcast day (another clue).
After Joe BidAn’s Inauguration, Joe received a 10 gun salute by two cannons which is a funeral salute or a visiting dignitaries salute. An actual President receives a 24 gun salute by four cannons. If you have not seen this incredible, precision in that ceremony, go on YouTube, well worth watching.
The Capital grounds was fenced off in January 2021 with a double fence and there was 25,000 National Guard protecting that perimeter so nobody could get in, but more importantly, nobody could get out. The US National Guard is on Active Duty right now in all 50 states and 6 territories.
If you spend about 8-10 hours on real raw news.com going back through the tribunals, you’ll be very happy. One of my favorites is FBI Director/traitor Jim Comey’s.
The Deep State has been being arrested for six years. John McCain was at the beginning and he didn’t die of brain cancer, he died from lack of oxygen to his brain ;-)
Jon I know you are telling the truth about the facts of the Insurrection Act and some other things as I have done the same research.
However I’m going to ask you what I say to others. If this is a white hat operation why would they ever inject our military with that poison? Sorry but that’s the line for me that tells me no one is coming to save us and we have to fight ourselves for our freedom.
People are suffering enough in this country right now and we are being overrun by illegals so if one day Donald Trump stands up and says surprise we had to do this so that we could arrest a whole bunch of people I truly believe the American people will tell him to stick it where the sun doesn’t shine. The clock is ticking we don’t have any more time because no one is ever going to remove these illegals from this country and you can’t get the poison out of peoples bodies that was put in through the vaccine so the clock cannot turn back
Joe, should have mentioned… Military intel has posted numerous times on Telegram,
“sometimes you have to show the people and it is not all going to be clean”… which means we are all going to feel some pain as we go through this Military operation to rid the world of the Pedophile, Adrenochrome… (drug of the elites made from the blood of adrenalized/terrorized children) = 8 million per year. The Trump presidency was a Military operation first and foremost to stop this satanic evil throughout the world.
By the way, what MASSIVE Internet search engine has an operating system named Chrome? Google… and what is Google’s main frame computer system called? Adreno.
The entire government’s, corporations, social media, politicians, hollywood and much of the music industry is tied into this incredible evil because of “who the are”.
Jon I’m sorry but almost everything you have said I have confirmed. I’m also sorry to say that people like us are on our own. No one is coming to save us. It’s our fight.
Lol Joe… I feel your pain and sentiment as well. As I said, I think the good guys underestimated just how close we were to losing America to the Cabal… I did an extremely deep dive on our US Government a couple months ago. We have never, in our history, ever had a nation by the people and for the people…
If you have not watched the videos on Rumble with US Army Sgt Robert Horton, do so. UNBELIEVABLE what we’ve been living under (common wealth of Great Britain). Ben Franklin and George Washington betrayed us to the king of England from the get go… Ever wonder why the USPS cannot turn a profit? Ya, that’s right, through postal codes, Ben Franklin and George Washington set up a hidden system through the 19 enumerated powers whereby the king of England got a piece of EVERYTHING the US citizens were doing…
The US Government is (was) a corporation 1871 Act of England. Lincoln was assassinated because he discovered WTH was going on… Ulysses S Grant fulfilled the betrayal of America and so the hidden tax on American’s continued.
Roosevelt had to declare bankruptcy on the first US corporation in 1933. The IRS was initially incorporated in the Philippines and was then moved to Puerto Rico in 1933 and is where the IRS corporation fillings were until May 4, 2020…
Why was the whole world against Trump? What can the President of a corporation do? The President can file bankruptcy on a corporation and dissolve the corporation which is exactly what Trump did. Now we know why the whole world hates Trump, he took away the world’s free ride on the backs of American taxpayers.
If you question any of this # 1 Joe BidAn (Actor) took an oath to a dissolved, bankrupted corporation (which is illegal in and of itself).
You can search US.gov/federalregistry and you will not find the IRS listed among the Federal agencies in the US government. Why? The IRS WAS NEVER ratified by Congress into law just like 200+ other Federal bureaucracies.
The IRS is owned by the American Bar Association (ABA). Does it now make sense why nobody can make sense of the tax code (by design)
Joe, the US Military is the only way the cabal could be arrested, tried and convicted. The US Judicial system is just as corrupt as the DNC, they own the majority of corrupt judges… Case after case would have been thrown out and the Cabal (Matrix) would continue to live on… We are watching a real time movie.

Jon I’m a big Telegram user. Who is this military that’s doing this? General Milley? He’s got pedo written all over his face.
Seriously I go back to the injections. Good guys in the military would have stopped that. We know from congressional testimony that our soldiers have been hurt badly.
Bill, at first I debated whether or not I should use my real name, or hide behind an pseudonym or partial name in the avatar.
Then, I did a self-berating talking to with myself, and decided "screw it."
No longer am I going to hide my real feelings about covid being a bioweapon, covid death shots being a bioweapon, the Pentagon being corrupt as hell, the VA is giving us veterans one more chance to die for our country by pushing the covid death shots and boosters, and the fact that our governments want us dead.
If DHS wants to raid my house with FBI jackbooted thugs at 6:00 a.m., just give me enough time to open the door to lessen the damage.
Last Friday, police executed a search warrant at Thomas' home looking for her 16-year-old son who was suspected of robbing a store. The execution of the search warrant consisted of smashing in all the windows, tearing off doors, kicking in window units, ripping walls off, and destroying furniture. Cops even smashed the basketball goal outside the home—just for good measure.
"They made sure I could not live in my home," said Thomas, who is now homeless along with her three other children.
Thomas said when police notified her of the search warrant and detained her on her way home, she offered to cooperate fully, going so far as to offer them a key.
I got temporarily banned from a prominent professional website for being anti-covid vax. I would not have even discussed it there had Biden not tried to use employers to force it on people (months after it was clear it did not stop transmission). Have not posted there since.
Comments are a very good way to draw people to a website. So, don't just frequent places you are allowed to comment, stay off the sites that censor and ban. Use browser extensions like blocksite if you need help to break the habit. This will help create new market opportunities (like Rumble, Twitter 2.0, substack, etc), disincentivize censorship, and help us return to a decentralized internet, as it was meant to be prior to the creation of that train wreck we call "social media".
I love that you’ve done an article on the comments section! And ditto all those comments before mine. Every time I recommend substack, I always add, and read the comments, all of them if you can. The knowledge and links I’ve gained are at least equal to that of the articles I’ve read.
The Substack family has seriously saved my sanity ❤️
I woke up at the start of Covid. I was sent to work at home from a computer. Not much was getting done and I had time on my hands. I went to ABC news site, which allowed comments, to point out the flaws of the scamdemic. I noticed my comments were being deleted. I’ve been a conservative activist ever since. This is all I do.
Thanks for sharing this anecdote. These censors or "content moderators" are everywhere. And they are now brazen. It's stunning how many people willingly do this job. And they must think they are doing great work and are great Americans.
Lets not forget that thousands of citizens willingly followed the mass psychosis in Germany in the 1930's, thousands of citizens during the "Cultural Revolution" in China, etc. Its a human sheeple thing. Most really dont want to take responsibility for choosing freedom over slavery. Freedom costs far more, it takes sacrifice while slavery of the soul is a slow death.
Remember that the victors write the history books. And in some cases you might not have all the information. Central banks and Masonic lodges got cast out of Germany in those years, could this be why Germany was destroyed by the allies led by them?
I love CFP and comment on there from time to time, and was disappointed to have one of my posts addressing his choice of a Politico article by about the Methodist church split which drew a parallel to that same church's split over slavery in the mid 19th century vs today's split over LGBTQ (it also had no comment section).
The title was: " Why You Should Be Worried About the Split in the Methodist Church, Protestants are splitting up over LGBTQ issues. In the 1840s, it was slavery that opened a rift." There were several other reports on the topic he had to choose from with more credible and balanced reporting. I won't detail further, but rather than Kane answering me he simply deleted it (I think). I hope it was just a glitch on one end or another because that seems out of character and inconsistent.
The comment was not insulting or inflammatory to anyone, or by any stretch an attack on LGBTQ. Perhaps the point of placing it in his aggregator was just that it WAS inflammatory and to call attention to it? If that was the case it would have helped to have somewhere to comment about it as I did on his general comment section.
I use a different nom de guerre than Avatarczar, but he does have my email to contact about his reason. On the other hand he has only the comment section from what I can see.
I am glad that us nobody commentators have a voice and am grateful to Kane for featuring your writing. It's awesome to find that somebody is listening and reading something besides what passes for journalism today. Keep it up and I hope your readership continues to grow exponentially.
Thanks for sharing that and the nice words about my site. CFP is no doubt responsible for the rapid growth of my site. Given how many visits that site gets it should be over-flowing with banner ads. So CFP, like all the contrarian and conservative sites, is being boycotted by "mainstream" companies with their advertising spends.
That Methodist Church story is a big one. I'm a Methodist and our local First United Church just split from the main Methodist organization. I'm thinking about starting a local Substack to cover local news (not as controversial as my stuff here). When I do that, I need to write my own story on that topic. That might be one I could put at my "national" Substack and my local Substack.
I am glad Kane is doing this and appreciate him taking the fire from the left to bring us something closer to Drudge once had. I quit following their page years ago. I hope he can weather the boycotting as more and more of these large companies wake up to how they've been played.
I think I found you on Twitter, and I just recently returned to it myself. It's like the wild west, and so much more fun.
Hi, Bill, I just started reading your Substack. I didn't know you live in Alabama! I never go to al.com for anything. I try to discourage my husband, though to be fair, he doesn't visit the site often. Have you checked out Yellowhammer News https://yellowhammernews.com/ ?
Great article! I have said for years that sites without comment sections are worthless because the paper is too afraid to have their narrative blown up!
And for a little touch of irony, I'll use THIS comment section for a relevant link about I got banned from the Royals subreddit for simply stating that it's almost certain that Whit Merrifield knows somebody who was harmed by the vaccine!
If we both have an extremely similar story about getting banned when standing up for the bodily autonomy of athletes who never had anything to worry about with regards to covid, how many millions of others are out there looking for a new site to join into the conversation?
It pays to read Reader Comments.
I think I uncovered (what should be) two blockbuster pieces of news from simply reading Reader Comments sections.
Two and 1/2 years ago, I found a post from a man named “Shane” from Marin County, California who said convincingly that he had Covid in the “fall of 2019” “far earlier than anyone else he’d heard of.”

So this lady, if she is not fibbing, would be the fist known case in the UK by months … if the Daily Mail (where she made her comments) had followed up with the person making these stunning claims.
Here’s the link about her story:
https://billricejr.substack.com/p/well-i-just-found-the-first-covid
And here’s an article I wrote that tells Shane’s story:
https://billricejr.substack.com/p/covid-was-spreading-across-us-in
… Can’t say I’m not providing some global scoops here at “Bill Rice, Jr.’s Newsletter!”
I should note that I have emailed the NY Times' "news tip" email address three times now, including a link to their own Reader Comments section and telling whoever reads these "news tips" they ought to at least contact Shane. They must have his email address, street address and credit card info. I know this because I had to give all that info when I was a paid subsciber. Anyway, Crickets, from the NY Times.

I may see her in January. I always go in with notes. I'll make the list now
Thanks. Can't hurt to ask, I guess. My personal doctor told me that it was his "gut instinct" that the virus was here in late 2019. I've got a friend in medical sales. He tells me he heard the same thing from plenty of his doctor customers.

The word of mouth through free speech and people sharing links is so incredibly powerful… It absolutely rocked the elite power brokers of the MSM/NWO agenda… and it was we the readers at CFP that helped build that site into the juggernaut that it is becoming. Kane did the heavy lifting, but we did our part as well. I hope Kane doesn’t ever forget his roots… now that he has a site that is well worth a Billion $$$ which happened in a very short time frame.
I watch CFP’s web traffic #’s as Kane reports them every month to his readers so we can see “our” progress… and they just keep creeping up higher every month… Which proves, there’s more good guys out there than bad guys, we vastly outnumber them. We’re in a war for the hearts and minds of our nation to save our nation (The Great Awakening) and we’re winning that war, most people don’t even realize that fact.
Hear! Hear! I need to make a contribution to CFP too. I'll do that. If the world was "fair," he'd have at least 10 big regular advertisers at his site. These are middle-of-the-road, salt-of-the-earth Americans who advertisers should be lining up to reach. Sites like CFP are actually being boycotted by corporate America, which is an indirect form of censorship. I might do a story on this topic in the future.
Kane has poled his readership multiple times about a couple ads on the site which wouldn’t bother me in the least… but wow, some people get their panties in a wad over an ad and respond “absolutely no ads”!!!
I don’t get that but that’s just me…
And no ads is going to work on CFP for only so long. At some point fairly soon, it’ll take a million + bucks to run that site to keep it growing in page views. I have no problem with a banner ad and/or targeted ads (targeted conservative ads aka MyPillow) but detest the pop-up ads = click, I’m outta there.
You can’t make a buck with an empty cart, it’s gonna take something to keep the lights on and Wheaties in the cupboard. Popcorn farts and fairy dust only works in the leftists world of economics.
People are starving for truth and people are diligently hunting those people who will bring “it”. Glad I found your page, now lets grow it.
Oh, so it's an intentional decision to not run ads. I didn't know that. Thanks for telling me. All the more reason to support the site with contributions. He is definitely running lots of taboo articles we'd never see otherwise.
Don't be ridiculous. The site had to BEG programmers to help him last time when it crashed. If its that well runned and robust, they would have hired true professionals. I'm not as impressed with CFP anymore. In the beginning, I thought they were a breath of fresh air. Now, they are just like the rest of the media and social media sites. In fact, their shadow banning is the worse of them all. I still go to the site from time to time to catch up on interesting subjects, but I seldom read any comments because its becoming obvious that it is a cesspool.
And you get to "know" some other commenters across different stacks. It gives you someone to somewhat interact with.
Exactly what I found. I used to avoid comment sections because the quality of comments was so poor. Now I get as much information from comments on my go-to sites as I do from the articles. Lots of intelligent people out there who haven't been fooled.
Some of the best links to other articles and videos have been on Substack.
There is a true desire to share information.
I found substack because of censorship. I appreciate the comment section greatly, having a voice and have found many helpful & relevant links from other commenters. I had become gun shy to share after being censored on Facebook and YouTube constantly.
Our stories are identical. I sincerely think Substack is a Secret Weapon in fighting all of these false narratives. This makes me think some powerful people must be plotting how to silence or sabotage this platform, although I hope I am wrong.
There have been efforts over the last 6 months by "fact-checkers" to shut down Substack. Went nowhere.
The self-censorship is the most insidious part.
I had a comment about the Grant Wahl tragedy removed the other day and I am going to not renew my subscription to The Athletic. I was highly respectful of him and they removed it. They can go to hell.
I read zero hedge but I don’t have a subscription.
I can tell you that although we all know that the vaccines have hurt far too many people that there will be a day that will come where my words to some of these people will get me in a lot of trouble because I’m coming for them. They can always say I’m sorry and I will walk the other way but if they don’t it’s game on. Depending on what Elon has on Fauci that day may come as soon as today.
Never in my entire life have I stood by allowing someone to hurt another person. Why would I suddenly make that OK to occur at this stage? That’s why if they say they are sorry it will force me to look deep inside but if they don’t I’m making their lives miserable.
So The Athletic is still the same. If nothing else, it seems like some executive might say, "You know, banning posters who don't agree with us probably isn't helping us grow our revenues."
I guess they don't care. The woke or politically correct message is more important than growing the business.
They don’t care. Linked In just banned a friend of mine for talking about the death of a 7 year old girl in Canada from the vax.
I continue to say it’s not the execs of these firms we should go after but the rank and file employees that make the censorship machine run.
Why don't these rank and file employees revolt or become whistleblowers ... at least a few of them? That would help.
Money. We are seeing what people in private sector and government will do for money
Probably. But how are they getting the money? I guess they are being subsidized by the Powers that Be or get all kind of benefits and favors from "playing ball." Or: They are afraid to NOT play ball. It seems to me they might be cutting their own throats ... but they don't care.
Ron Paul's explanation of foreign policy come home:
Do what we want, we give you money. Don't do what we want, we destroy you.
That's what I want to know. We know that the censorship club was huge and active -- it looks like they basically just sat around waiting for people to tweet 'bad' things they could get banned for. How on earth has nobody exposed this before -- if not at Twitter, then FB/Google/etc?
I did a story a couple weeks ago on the "Misinformation Warriors" who are getting all these grants to identify people like us and stop them. They have seeded colleges all across America, plus media sites are being paid to do this as well. It's a huge operation that has been growing for years. This suggests that someone knew this ground-work had to be done before they started implementing the rest of their real program.
The Long March through the Institutions.
Most people don’t realize the Trump presidency was a Military operation and, that Military operation continues to this day. President Trump signed the Insurrection Act before leaving office in January 2021… which put the US Military in charge… I saw a stat a couple months ago that the Military said there’s 6/10’s of 1% of Americans that know what’s actually going on… and roughly 3% that kinda know what’s going on (stats were based on IP addresses in the US).
If you want to have a great day, go to realrawnews.com and scroll back through the tribunal pages of the Deep State Traitors that have been arrested, tried, sentenced and most of them hanged in GITMO… Go back to (roughly) August/September of 2021 and you’ll have a very nice day when you come to Anthony Fauci’s tribunal.
The US Military is in control, they showed us their CGI capabilities very early on… they can create anything under the sun that they want us to see or hear… any person, voice, place, location, weather it doesn’t matter.
Don’t believe it? Joe BidAn’s Inauguration took place at 11:50 AM on January 20, 2021. That is/was Illegal (a clue). Joe BidAn’s Inauguration that was televised on that day was a bright, sunny day but the actual weather in Washington DC was a grey, cloudy, overcast day (another clue).
After Joe BidAn’s Inauguration, Joe received a 10 gun salute by two cannons which is a funeral salute or a visiting dignitaries salute. An actual President receives a 24 gun salute by four cannons. If you have not seen this incredible, precision in that ceremony, go on YouTube, well worth watching.
The Capital grounds was fenced off in January 2021 with a double fence and there was 25,000 National Guard protecting that perimeter so nobody could get in, but more importantly, nobody could get out. The US National Guard is on Active Duty right now in all 50 states and 6 territories.
If you spend about 8-10 hours on real raw news.com going back through the tribunals, you’ll be very happy. One of my favorites is FBI Director/traitor Jim Comey’s.
The Deep State has been being arrested for six years. John McCain was at the beginning and he didn’t die of brain cancer, he died from lack of oxygen to his brain ;-)
Jon I know you are telling the truth about the facts of the Insurrection Act and some other things as I have done the same research.
However I’m going to ask you what I say to others. If this is a white hat operation why would they ever inject our military with that poison? Sorry but that’s the line for me that tells me no one is coming to save us and we have to fight ourselves for our freedom.
People are suffering enough in this country right now and we are being overrun by illegals so if one day Donald Trump stands up and says surprise we had to do this so that we could arrest a whole bunch of people I truly believe the American people will tell him to stick it where the sun doesn’t shine. The clock is ticking we don’t have any more time because no one is ever going to remove these illegals from this country and you can’t get the poison out of peoples bodies that was put in through the vaccine so the clock cannot turn back
Joe, should have mentioned… Military intel has posted numerous times on Telegram,
“sometimes you have to show the people and it is not all going to be clean”… which means we are all going to feel some pain as we go through this Military operation to rid the world of the Pedophile, Adrenochrome… (drug of the elites made from the blood of adrenalized/terrorized children) = 8 million per year. The Trump presidency was a Military operation first and foremost to stop this satanic evil throughout the world.
By the way, what MASSIVE Internet search engine has an operating system named Chrome? Google… and what is Google’s main frame computer system called? Adreno.
The entire government’s, corporations, social media, politicians, hollywood and much of the music industry is tied into this incredible evil because of “who the are”.
Have you researched the Reptilians yet?
Jon I’m sorry but almost everything you have said I have confirmed. I’m also sorry to say that people like us are on our own. No one is coming to save us. It’s our fight.
Lol Joe… I feel your pain and sentiment as well. As I said, I think the good guys underestimated just how close we were to losing America to the Cabal… I did an extremely deep dive on our US Government a couple months ago. We have never, in our history, ever had a nation by the people and for the people…
If you have not watched the videos on Rumble with US Army Sgt Robert Horton, do so. UNBELIEVABLE what we’ve been living under (common wealth of Great Britain). Ben Franklin and George Washington betrayed us to the king of England from the get go… Ever wonder why the USPS cannot turn a profit? Ya, that’s right, through postal codes, Ben Franklin and George Washington set up a hidden system through the 19 enumerated powers whereby the king of England got a piece of EVERYTHING the US citizens were doing…
The US Government is (was) a corporation 1871 Act of England. Lincoln was assassinated because he discovered WTH was going on… Ulysses S Grant fulfilled the betrayal of America and so the hidden tax on American’s continued.
Roosevelt had to declare bankruptcy on the first US corporation in 1933. The IRS was initially incorporated in the Philippines and was then moved to Puerto Rico in 1933 and is where the IRS corporation fillings were until May 4, 2020…
Why was the whole world against Trump? What can the President of a corporation do? The President can file bankruptcy on a corporation and dissolve the corporation which is exactly what Trump did. Now we know why the whole world hates Trump, he took away the world’s free ride on the backs of American taxpayers.
If you question any of this # 1 Joe BidAn (Actor) took an oath to a dissolved, bankrupted corporation (which is illegal in and of itself).
You can search US.gov/federalregistry and you will not find the IRS listed among the Federal agencies in the US government. Why? The IRS WAS NEVER ratified by Congress into law just like 200+ other Federal bureaucracies.
The IRS is owned by the American Bar Association (ABA). Does it now make sense why nobody can make sense of the tax code (by design)
Joe, the US Military is the only way the cabal could be arrested, tried and convicted. The US Judicial system is just as corrupt as the DNC, they own the majority of corrupt judges… Case after case would have been thrown out and the Cabal (Matrix) would continue to live on… We are watching a real time movie.

PS Hsretoucherq on telegram is John F Kennedy Jr. He had to fake his own death because the Clinton mafia was going to murder him… JFK Jr explains in detail how and what happened… C4 was planted in the tail of his plane with an altitude detonator… Which told JFK, someone in his inner security detail had betrayed him… He had to disappear for the duration but JFK Jr will be Trumps VP running mate which will bring the nation together somewhat and will win in a landslide election where the US Military will run the national election… This is all explained in the links I’ve provided… You’ll have to go deep as this is all, old news.
Any questions just ask. J
Jon I’m a big Telegram user. Who is this military that’s doing this? General Milley? He’s got pedo written all over his face.
Seriously I go back to the injections. Good guys in the military would have stopped that. We know from congressional testimony that our soldiers have been hurt badly.
Bill, at first I debated whether or not I should use my real name, or hide behind an pseudonym or partial name in the avatar.
Then, I did a self-berating talking to with myself, and decided "screw it."
No longer am I going to hide my real feelings about covid being a bioweapon, covid death shots being a bioweapon, the Pentagon being corrupt as hell, the VA is giving us veterans one more chance to die for our country by pushing the covid death shots and boosters, and the fact that our governments want us dead.
If DHS wants to raid my house with FBI jackbooted thugs at 6:00 a.m., just give me enough time to open the door to lessen the damage.
Bravo!!
LOL knowing the FBI, they would close the door just so they'd have an excuse to blow it up.
Oh, yeah. They will take your door out. Just extra punishment for you and your family.

Last Friday, police executed a search warrant at Thomas' home looking for her 16-year-old son who was suspected of robbing a store. The execution of the search warrant consisted of smashing in all the windows, tearing off doors, kicking in window units, ripping walls off, and destroying furniture. Cops even smashed the basketball goal outside the home—just for good measure.
"They made sure I could not live in my home," said Thomas, who is now homeless along with her three other children.
Thomas said when police notified her of the search warrant and detained her on her way home, she offered to cooperate fully, going so far as to offer them a key.
Seig heil! 🤚
I've hated cops for so long. (Speaking about the ones in my area. I can't speak for the rest of the US.) Very corrupt. "Kiss-my-ass-or-else" tyrants.
My heart bleeds for that woman and her family. The pigs should have to pay for the damages.
I got temporarily banned from a prominent professional website for being anti-covid vax. I would not have even discussed it there had Biden not tried to use employers to force it on people (months after it was clear it did not stop transmission). Have not posted there since.
Comments are a very good way to draw people to a website. So, don't just frequent places you are allowed to comment, stay off the sites that censor and ban. Use browser extensions like blocksite if you need help to break the habit. This will help create new market opportunities (like Rumble, Twitter 2.0, substack, etc), disincentivize censorship, and help us return to a decentralized internet, as it was meant to be prior to the creation of that train wreck we call "social media".
I love that you’ve done an article on the comments section! And ditto all those comments before mine. Every time I recommend substack, I always add, and read the comments, all of them if you can. The knowledge and links I’ve gained are at least equal to that of the articles I’ve read.
The Substack family has seriously saved my sanity ❤️
This is a good post. I am going to upgrade to paid because the author deserves it for speaking so much truth.
Thank you! This was an easy article. I've been meaning to "call out" The Athletic and al.com since I started my Substack.
Thank you!
I woke up at the start of Covid. I was sent to work at home from a computer. Not much was getting done and I had time on my hands. I went to ABC news site, which allowed comments, to point out the flaws of the scamdemic. I noticed my comments were being deleted. I’ve been a conservative activist ever since. This is all I do.
Thanks for sharing this anecdote. These censors or "content moderators" are everywhere. And they are now brazen. It's stunning how many people willingly do this job. And they must think they are doing great work and are great Americans.
Lets not forget that thousands of citizens willingly followed the mass psychosis in Germany in the 1930's, thousands of citizens during the "Cultural Revolution" in China, etc. Its a human sheeple thing. Most really dont want to take responsibility for choosing freedom over slavery. Freedom costs far more, it takes sacrifice while slavery of the soul is a slow death.
Remember that the victors write the history books. And in some cases you might not have all the information. Central banks and Masonic lodges got cast out of Germany in those years, could this be why Germany was destroyed by the allies led by them?
Keep shinning the light into those DARK places! Love to see the roaches scurrying.
Thanks, Bill, for your article about comments! I'm going to do more of it myself.
Excellent article Bill.
I love CFP and comment on there from time to time, and was disappointed to have one of my posts addressing his choice of a Politico article by about the Methodist church split which drew a parallel to that same church's split over slavery in the mid 19th century vs today's split over LGBTQ (it also had no comment section).
The title was: " Why You Should Be Worried About the Split in the Methodist Church, Protestants are splitting up over LGBTQ issues. In the 1840s, it was slavery that opened a rift." There were several other reports on the topic he had to choose from with more credible and balanced reporting. I won't detail further, but rather than Kane answering me he simply deleted it (I think). I hope it was just a glitch on one end or another because that seems out of character and inconsistent.
The comment was not insulting or inflammatory to anyone, or by any stretch an attack on LGBTQ. Perhaps the point of placing it in his aggregator was just that it WAS inflammatory and to call attention to it? If that was the case it would have helped to have somewhere to comment about it as I did on his general comment section.
I use a different nom de guerre than Avatarczar, but he does have my email to contact about his reason. On the other hand he has only the comment section from what I can see.
I am glad that us nobody commentators have a voice and am grateful to Kane for featuring your writing. It's awesome to find that somebody is listening and reading something besides what passes for journalism today. Keep it up and I hope your readership continues to grow exponentially.
All the best
Thanks for sharing that and the nice words about my site. CFP is no doubt responsible for the rapid growth of my site. Given how many visits that site gets it should be over-flowing with banner ads. So CFP, like all the contrarian and conservative sites, is being boycotted by "mainstream" companies with their advertising spends.
That Methodist Church story is a big one. I'm a Methodist and our local First United Church just split from the main Methodist organization. I'm thinking about starting a local Substack to cover local news (not as controversial as my stuff here). When I do that, I need to write my own story on that topic. That might be one I could put at my "national" Substack and my local Substack.
I am glad Kane is doing this and appreciate him taking the fire from the left to bring us something closer to Drudge once had. I quit following their page years ago. I hope he can weather the boycotting as more and more of these large companies wake up to how they've been played.
I think I found you on Twitter, and I just recently returned to it myself. It's like the wild west, and so much more fun.
Have a great day!
Your experience is not unique. I have encountered a lot of censorship from the site- from really odd angles as I mentioned in my posts.
Hi, Bill, I just started reading your Substack. I didn't know you live in Alabama! I never go to al.com for anything. I try to discourage my husband, though to be fair, he doesn't visit the site often. Have you checked out Yellowhammer News https://yellowhammernews.com/ ?
Great article! I have said for years that sites without comment sections are worthless because the paper is too afraid to have their narrative blown up!
And for a little touch of irony, I'll use THIS comment section for a relevant link about I got banned from the Royals subreddit for simply stating that it's almost certain that Whit Merrifield knows somebody who was harmed by the vaccine!
https://simulationcommander.substack.com/p/vaccine-injuries-and-whit-merrifield
Highly recommended Substack here. I'll check it out now.
If we both have an extremely similar story about getting banned when standing up for the bodily autonomy of athletes who never had anything to worry about with regards to covid, how many millions of others are out there looking for a new site to join into the conversation?
I like your point of view here.
May I suggest one of the greatest reader comments sections on some of the best articles on the web:
theconservativetreehouse.com
Thanks for the link. I'll check it out. Here is another excellent and "contrarian" Covid site I've discovered in the last year:
https://www.conservativewoman.co.uk
The comments are not what they once were (been a Treehouse reader since Trayvon days). Most insightful political commentary on the net, IMO.
