I wonder if one form of shadow banning is reflected in a functional change on Substack in recent months: previously, when I clicked on a link to another Substack post while I was in the app, the freshly linked post would appear inside the app. Now it appears on my default browser. In order to like or comment, I have to log in, again.
I’m always logged in on my app. It appears to me that this is a gatekeeping function.
Patriot Nurse was over the target today on youtube. And so were you in this article: "'literal’ homicides have no doubt happened more than the Man on the Street realizes." Now let me ask - why does the "Man on the Street" fail to realize this?
Bill, The Powers that Be are not monolithic. I believe the bible speaks of a day where the globe is taken over by a monstrous ideology which is empowered by a marking system that provides economic and commercial conformity and worshipful allegiance of conscience. This growing beast system requires all the elements you described in your essay to be fully functioning in order to control all people. But until that time fully sets in, the system is not monolithic and they will fail here and there and there is room for real victories. Resistance is required to delay the onset of this Satanic dark system—keep up the good work and thank you for everything you do!
Nuremberg 2.0 is an International Public Grand Jury, including Reiner Fuellmich's "Grand Jury". A.I. properly describes it that way... Nuremberg 1.0 & WW2, was staged by Hitler and his friends to create the UN & WHO.
Substack was awesome, and now it’s less so, although somehow I found your work! I think two things have happened: Substack has decided to let itself be used as a money-launderer for a bunch of left-leaning accounts, a la Act Blue; and they decided to implement an algorithm that serves up posts to users rather than just letting the feed be the people you follow, in the time-order posted. It’s worse for us early adopters but certainly good for the owners.
After what happened with the Grace Schara case it is pretty clear that the courts will not help. I will have an article about the trial shortly - I am listening to the entire thing.
It was very distressing to me to read in one of your previous articles that Substack may also now be compromised. If so, the only solution is for other brave souls to open another platform. And if that one becomes compromised, another one, and so on.
Plan B, another work-around, may be needed. Substack served a vital purpose and is still important, but it's becoming increasingly clear to me it's NOT going to be the media platform that allows the masses to KNOW they've been duped and harmed by our corrupt rulers.
I would love to introduce you to decentralized, serverless networks. However nobody is going to spend tens of millions of dollars advertising them to you. You can host and share your own content in a decentralized network, in myriad forms of organization.
If you have the brain and spirit for it, become familiar with I2p, Ipfs, Zeronet, GPG, web-of-trust. You'll be able to homebrew your own communities. And they'll be the only real ones left.
Not so distressing to me, I figured it was inevitable. They have the economic power to buy anything, almost. No reason to think Substack at some point wouldn't succumb to either economic temptation or something darker. The same substacks are still publishing at least. You're right, might be time to pivot. And at some point, pivot again. As Bill said, they are relentless. That's simply part of the landscape.
Hi Bill, I just wanted to start by saying a big thank you for having supported my work. This piece you just wrote is very important. And I read it with great care.
These forces will indeed always be there trying to counter "dissidents" like ourselves. Though Substack has been a light in this tunnel, cracks have started to emerge as you have written about. As for my Substack, I've notice a very significant decline in daily additional subscribers. So, I know there must be some funny business (read shadow-banning) going on. Not sure how, but the proof is in the pudding.
Substack also have significant vulnerabilities with Stripe as its payment processor in particular. About a year and a half ago I was a guest alongside Dr. Robert Malone taking about 5th Generation Warfare and his Substack had just gotten attacked (see https://fournier.substack.com/i/142883584/substack-under-attack) and I had told him on the show that Mark Carney was on the board of Stripe at the time and the censoring-by-financial-repression likely came from him. He was [perhaps a bit naively] a bit surprised. Since Dr. Malone has more financial means than common folk like us, he was able to lawyer-up and get Stripe to back off. Once Stripe targets us, maybe we won't have that luxury.
It's hard to tell where things will go along with Substack, but my intuition tells me that they (TPTB) are going to employ their usual Chinese "death by a thousand cuts" means to accomplish it - just like they have done to infiltrate the media and all our politicians.
Both the U.S. and Canada have tons of legislation in place (e.g., Bills C-2 and C-8 in Canada) to crush the speech of dissenters like us, EU/Germany-style.
They already do it - especially on X - with "freedom of reach" (I am super shadow-banned on that platform) and see its markings starting to manifest here on Substack, as I previously alluded to.
Time will tell, but it's probably best to prepare for a bumpy ride. That is why I started posting on NOSTR (Primal) also. We need to be pro-active and think of other means too - decentralised ones especially.
You know Bill - for 4 generations in Vicksburg they did NOT celebrate the 4th.....I kind of feel a kinship with them folks there suffered so.....Vicksburg surrendered on July 4 for a reason - and then meanwhile day before Pickett's charge was done - and rumor I heard is Lee had diarrhea - and sometimes the "littlest" things change history in the heat of the moment.
Broken record me: the weak point in their surrounding wall of anti-dissident propaganda , suppression, and social-media censorship IS THE CONSERVATIVE PART OF IT. Attack THERE. I.e., DON'T focus so much on "What RFK Is Or Isn't Doing," for it is time to aggressively demand review of what political players in the GOP and conservative establishment are--or are not--doing (e.g., notice how the BIO memo that MWDoc features talks about AEI) .
(The distinct "religious-leader part of the wall" is another weak point.)
When they run out of obvious dissidents, they will turn on imaginary dissdents (if history is any guide: Stalin's purges). Eventually the system will devour itself and crumble under its own weight... if it is any consolation to those who will not survive the purges to come.
Patrick Henry looked like the person who would be a brave and brilliant patriot. He meant business and wasn't playing.

I hope everyone who reads the comments clicks on your link.
Glad I did.

Good pick-up. I am experiencing the same thing.

He still imagines he is ruled by his own kind.
good one

Thanks, Arnold. We're in trouble if "The Resistance" stops resisting.
Signing oaths, esp. those one be under penalties of perjury, qualifies.

Bill I found that in Australia they were literally killing dissidents even outside Emergency powers.

Outstanding analysis! Best I've seen.
It’s a house of cards…
I suggest work from the bottom up, white ant this thing…
Go after those who are ‘following orders’, and sabotaging our society.
Call them to account.
See for example:
‘Restrict the freedoms of the unvaccinated’
Where is the BETA report that called for this treachery? https://elizabethhart.substack.com/p/restrict-the-freedoms-of-the-unvaccinated
Great article. I tried to hit it with a like, but couldn’t.

For the latter, I call these their "ENABLERS" (or sometimes operatives). I've written about this very phenomenon in several of my posts, but my latest touches upon this subject as it relates to the current monetary reset taking place (see https://fournier.substack.com/i/166799868/agents-of-change-those-implementing-the-new-western-monetary-system).

Thanks again for covering this important topic.

Mixed memories on my end no doubt.

I'm wondering if congressional interest in online content production is a good thing or--typical for Congress--a bad thing. Bills that hone in on platform transparency (one of your interests) make sense (on the surface). https://justthenews.com/events/hold-republicans-split-potential-regime-change-war-iran-following-trump-post-about-miga?utm_source=daily&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=newsletter

Brownstone Institute is suspect to me.
