This article deals with all my stories on "early spread." However, I should mention that many of my articles that I am sure might be perceived as a threat to the Powers that Be don't have anything to do with when this virus first began to spread. It would have taken me 1,900 more words to summarize some of those articles.
You were giving me a money "tip" Bill in one of your last posts. So being as paranoid as you , I didn't believe it for a moment . Something about knowing who are dealing with ...invaluable. Then again , Canada seems hell bent on taking away our health along with our money , any money tip would be greatly appreciated .
I received "weird" direct messages from the Vigilant Fox. The first couple were pretty complimentary. Then the last one was about purchasing two types of crypo.
So - the final digits there - the true "Bill Rice Jr." must have different digits - is that a correct inference - and seriously if this 993048 doesn't realize there is a trail back DIRECT - then must be sort of clueless - cause this is behavior easily considered illegal - and prosecution is called for to put this sort of behavior on notice - "tis unacceptable" at any respected forum.
I figured somebody would know a way to tell the difference - I mean all of us reading at the "real Bill's" place - we all know he wouldn't post such rubbish - STILL - if SubStack doesn't deter this, then SubStack will just be a fad I'm sad to say.....so I hope deterrence is put in place and I think an argument could be made that the behavior of lets call "it" a "993048" is slander in a way if not equivalent to counterfeiting offense that could be prosecuted.
But - hells-bells, jurisprudence in the us of a has already proven itself worthless - that is why big changes are on the way and they won't be a "simulation" Mr Commander - they are going to be real changes that affect each and every citizen - hope you are ready - I think I am.
EDIT: Oops ... I forgot to add the "share" button to this article. That's a bad oversight as the share button is our side's greatest weapon to use to get contrarian articles in front of more readers - to get around the proverbial "gatekeepers of the news" who might want to suppress the reach of certain articles.
Anyway, if anyone wants to use this weapon, I've now added it.
Here’s the thing: I read probably 15-20 substacks a day, and 95% of the time I read the comments. You start to recognize names. After months and months of reading comments, you get to “know” the commenters, and their opinions and often their politics. Every time I’ve seen a troll, either under their own “name”nor as an imposter using someone’s name I regularly see commenting, I instinctively know something’s wrong. We just have to be alert. This is only going to intensify in the months to come as they become more and more desperate.
It’s a plague on X/Twitter and Reddit, and to a lesser extent on YouTube. Don’t forget the Comments to YouTube videos. Google uses the numbers for the algorithm adjustments. 👍🏼
(Anyone who wants to post a Substack article on X, hit me up. I paid for a URL shortener to cloak the Substack link and skip Elon’s censoring stormtroopers. I can make new URLs linking back to Substack). 👍🏼👍🏼
I've noticed quite a few "new" commenters who relentlessly attack my comments and personally insult me. I think it's either a semi-organized chaos campaign by Biden supporters who are panicking after looking at his bad polling or it's a disorganized frenzy by Biden supporters who feel hopeless and just want to attack people who don't echo their beliefs on Ukraine/Russia, Israel/Gaza and, of course, Fauci's Ouchies...
That right there. They say Biden will spend $3 billion this campaign. On what? Not to promote Biden, because there’s nothing to promote. Seriously.
>>> The DNC already is paying people, and lots of them, to act as ordered.
When RFK Jr. visited Hawaii earlier this year to kick off signature gathering to get him on the state’s ballot, folks noticed some protesters arrived holding signs generally protesting Bobby. (These “protesters” looked homeless, btw as if recruited right off the street).
So a Bobby supporter meandered over and asked nicely why they were there.
“I was paid to do this” was the answer.
In February. A whole shitload of Pharma and MIC money is purchasing their campaign army as we speak.
The more fixated they are on a particular issue the more abusive they tend to be. It's a way of creating discord and derailing the main work of the author. I block them.
I can't even mention the topics because if I do, they will swarm and begin the abuse and just use the same copy/paste, usually with lots of all caps.
I think some of these people are paid trolls but some of them really are true believers and totally fixated on their ideology. Nothing deters them from their 'message.'
had it a while ago, I try to respond maybe once, then just ignore them. Some people might just be that angry or nasty, and I let them cook in their own kettle. And if it is a bot, if you don't react they probably stop.
What I'd like to know is, how did Bill's tormenters get his readers' (OUR) email addresses?? That is a real concern because, if they can do that, Substack's security is porous.
Probably some moles on the inside. I really worry for Trump and Kennedy. There's some seriously deranged people that I fear will do anything to get rid of them even if they both lose the election.
A friend reports that she's also gettimg spam emails, but hers are coming signed by "The Vigilant Fox", another conservative contrarian writer on Substack.
Substack has porous security. We have all been warned.
Thanks, Mark. I enjoyed your debunking of the NY Times piece. I keep looking for "evidence" that might disprove my "early spread hypothesis," but I can't find any.
The most damning or convincing evidence is probably all the investigations that should have occurred ... but never did.
Fwiw, when I said "red badge" I was referring to the red checkmark from Substack itself that your name is a "bestseller" author with "hundreds of paid subscribers." The fake Bill Rice, Jr account has no such Substack red checkmark, so it was easy to see it was fake. Like Twi(X)tter's blue checks to distinguish real from fake accounts.
My thoughts are that one only becomes a target for malevolence when they gain a wide enough readership/influence circle to threaten the regime. I'm not sure if your readership has crossed that threshold yet. If the red checkmark said you had "thousands of paid subscribers" or tens of thousands I suspect that would make you more susceptible to malicious government narrative-instigated attacks. If they're already progressing to targeting authors with "hundreds of paid subscribers" for attack they're already either really close to final victory, sweeping up smaller and smaller piles of debris, or they're really close to losing, and pulling out all the stops to cover their tracks, like shooting all the prisoners in the death camps hours before the liberating army arrives. I don't think we're at either of those points now. Which makes me lean more towards spammers or freelance haters, not organized.
But I do sense a shift in Substack to a form of shadow-banning. Like you've shared before, I can't pinpoint it, point to clear and convincing evidence. But I sense it in terms of engagement with others, it feels a bit off.
Thanks for clarifying the "red badge" reference. Yes, I only have approximately 6,000 Substack subscibers (289 are "paid.") Still, these metrics - as modest as they are - probably put me in the top 1 percent of Substack authors.
Some of my stories are shared and linked by other alternative media sites and routinely get tens of thousands of "views" or "reads." A couple have been read by more than 100,000 people.
If I am being targetted, my guess would be the reason for this is I am writing about a few topics that are thermo-nuclear. And it's more than just my "early spread" stories. For example, my "embalmers clots" stories. Also, I've written many stories about Substack maybe being under attack. Not many Substack authors are doing this.
Hi Bill! No you are not paranoid… and I’ve been trying to figure out how to message my Substack writers that I pay for ( I’m a Founding Member with you ) to say “ y’all have disappeared “…. I have all your Substack email addresses starred as VIP and yet suddenly some of you are not showing up at all but most of you are back in my Junk box….if I open up my Substack app , your entries are there, but your content is not being delivered to my primary GMail address. I guess if there is censoring going on, have the owners of Substack condoned this or are they unaware??
Keep doing what you are doing! You are a hero and they don’t like heros! Your honesty and integrity go against their darkness and so they try to knock a few kinks in your armor, no matter, they are falling apart day by day. Maybe it’s a left handed compliment acknowledging that your work makes quite a difference! Sending you lots of encouragement, we need you!!!
I use linux and have a local borough owned email address..... I got this message supposedly from you, Bill, on May 11 at 1:33 AM Alaska Daylight Time with a phone # having a 210 area code;
"Thankx for the comments, I'll introduce you to a life changing 1nvestment that can change your financial life. If you're interested text me directly" blah blah blah
AAAaand it's still happening. Got the same message just now, 7:10AM, as a comment again on your Depopulation Cult piece - this time I was asked to reach out on what's ap. 847 area code.
It's probably not based on content but popularity. The reason is usually to sell shady bitcoin deals or something akin to that. Steve Kirsch gets those now and then, he calls them "Evil Steve."
Yes my daughter lived in Mesa AZ November 2019 .. she was serving at a First Watch breakfast restaurant. She got very sick and went into Urgent Care . The doctor tested her for the current (at that time) flu strains in circulation and she was negative for any of them . He concluded she had a respiratory infection and of course prescribed the same old standard of antibiotics . As you stated this doctor had no knowledge of a Wuhan virus in November 2019. She was so sick she could barely get out of bed. I saw a clip where Bill Gates released a jar of mosquitos in a room of listeners .. I’ve wondered if he released the virus as well .. the day after a Trump Rally in January or February 2020 in which Trump acknowledged the virus but said there had been no deaths, there lo and behold was the first death in a nursing home ….. in of all places Seattle WA, where Gates lives !
Thanks for sharing another possible "early spread" anecdote, Ginger. Your daughter tested "negative" for flu, which was very common and had rough symptoms which were probably a little different than previous bouts with flu-like bugs.
One thing that strikes me about these anecdotes is how many there are ... and that they are spread around the country - basically I've found these type anecdotes from all 50 states.
It was nice that you responded personally to me when I subscribed to your substack. Also, that you are very actively involved in the comment section. I doubt anyone was fooled by the one hacking your account and offering investment advice. You've made it clear you want to make a living in journalism not as an investment advisor!!! LOL. Just deleted.
I know an individual who was very sick in late October after attending a large conference. The individual thought nothing of it until til months later when “they”caught COVID. Expressed that symptoms in late October were same as current symptoms.

Yep. There were two of them I saw - both bizarre. Whatever you do, don't click on them or text the number that was given.
You know - one "tell" at least on your own place - is there is a symbol by your name - that means easy vision that you are the real "Bill".
This article is very timely.
Ken
I got one of those “tips” too complete with a phone number to call. I ignored it.
You got more than I did .
I received "weird" direct messages from the Vigilant Fox. The first couple were pretty complimentary. Then the last one was about purchasing two types of crypo.
At that point, I figured he had been hacked.
Go to https://substack.com/@billricejr993048 and report this guy.
So - the final digits there - the true "Bill Rice Jr." must have different digits - is that a correct inference - and seriously if this 993048 doesn't realize there is a trail back DIRECT - then must be sort of clueless - cause this is behavior easily considered illegal - and prosecution is called for to put this sort of behavior on notice - "tis unacceptable" at any respected forum.

Yes, the real Bill Rice is https://substack.com/@billricejr

Best to you,

Did it on 3 investment posts already.
Done. Hope it helps.
I hate those people don't you? I report as many as possible on Utoob.
I haven't tried to report any on SS, because they seem to be much fewer here.
Did you offer to provide me with an investment opportunity or was that just another attack on your substack?
That was not me, Thomas. It was some kind of "attack."
Sorry to learn they don’t like a truth teller !
You remember when Sally Field won that Oscar and said, "You like me. You really like me!"
With me, I think it's, "You don't like me. You really don't like me."
Of course, I don't want them to like me.
Uh - that means there are some "clubs" you don't desire membership - I'm the same way Bill!

Were all those protest signs identical and neatly printed? Like the pro-Hamas signs seen on university campuses of late?
Report back: No, not printed, and differing messages, but ALL in the same handwriting. Enough so that it was evident it was a paid operation.
Thank you: Proof that our pals on the left have central planning staffs.
I’ll ask and report back. 👍🏼
They don't want a monkey wrench thrown in their money machine.!
This comment wins the internet today! 😆👏🏼👏🏼
Unfortunately no body read it!
Thanks!
I used to get a LOT of these accounts as well. They are incredibly fixated. This is a good guide to the types of attacks employed on forums: https://ronaldthomaswest.com/2017/08/21/the-gentlepersons-guide-to-forum-spies/
Good point on the fixated aspect!
The more fixated they are on a particular issue the more abusive they tend to be. It's a way of creating discord and derailing the main work of the author. I block them.

I think some of these people are paid trolls but some of them really are true believers and totally fixated on their ideology. Nothing deters them from their 'message.'
Spammers or regular readers, the all caps people drive me nuts!
Why do they do that fam?
`\_(•_•)_/`
I've had several of all caps people tell me it's due to medical problems they have.
had it a while ago, I try to respond maybe once, then just ignore them. Some people might just be that angry or nasty, and I let them cook in their own kettle. And if it is a bot, if you don't react they probably stop.
Yep. They're everywhere. I get sick of them!
There's somethin' happenin' here ....
What it is ain't eactly clear ....
Paranoia strikes deep ....
Into your life it will creep ....
it starts when you're always afraid
step out of line the man come and take you away.
Prophetic, huh!? And ironic how many in my boomer generation were all about revolting against “The Man”, and now ARE The Man!
disgusting isn't it? eric clapton and van morrison are exceptions; they both took a lot of flak for speaking out.
Yesss that is so true!
Mostly say “Hoo-ray for my side.”
What I'd like to know is, how did Bill's tormenters get his readers' (OUR) email addresses?? That is a real concern because, if they can do that, Substack's security is porous.
I use Proton and they got it.
I use fastmail ($20 a year) and as far as I know I didn't get one of these emails (but I'm bad at checking too).
It is on the thread on the Substack, two comments on 2 different Stacks.
Good (and scary) question, Roger.
Probably some moles on the inside. I really worry for Trump and Kennedy. There's some seriously deranged people that I fear will do anything to get rid of them even if they both lose the election.
A friend reports that she's also gettimg spam emails, but hers are coming signed by "The Vigilant Fox", another conservative contrarian writer on Substack.
Substack has porous security. We have all been warned.
I use Outlook, not Gmail - but it is no better, being a Billy Gates product.
Bill, your message is very important. I attributed the "early spread" idea to you in my book.
Please stay on task.
Mark
Thanks, Mark. I enjoyed your debunking of the NY Times piece. I keep looking for "evidence" that might disprove my "early spread hypothesis," but I can't find any.
The most damning or convincing evidence is probably all the investigations that should have occurred ... but never did.
I think it’s AI bots…I’ve seen a lot of strange activity on Substack the past few weeks.
Things to consider. Or it could just be spammers.
Fwiw, when I said "red badge" I was referring to the red checkmark from Substack itself that your name is a "bestseller" author with "hundreds of paid subscribers."

Whoa, you're still on gmail?
That's the problem.
They did the same thing to me, and I switched to protonmail -- no problems since.
Ugh…. In the mean time, do ya think Bill has been hacked?? Wild!!!
No, somebody just set up an impersonation account -- you can tell because the fake Bill Rice doesn't have the little red checkmark.
Also all the fake posts littered throughout this comment section don’t have “author” under his name. Only his real posts do
Ugh… the thought…..
I've had that issue before you have to contact their customer service to get it fixed which isn't easy but they will fix it.
Thanks! Who is “ they” in this case?
Don’t use gmail…just a suggestion…Mrs. McFarland…🤔
Oh I know… but the point is … it’s happening and it shouldn’t!
Yep!🔥

210 is San Antonio Texas (?) according to allareacodes.com

Here is where you can instantly file a report to Substack Trust & Safety: https://support.substack.com/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=1900000051827
Include the profile link of the imposter and some screenshots of his activity. They will get right on it, ban the imposter and remove all his posts.
