If Twitter starts blocking links to Substack pages, can't we still use a URL shortener like Bitly? Or does Twitter have the ability to figure out the redirected url?

Whenever someone mentions the ADL, we all need to remind ourselves that this organization is run by Bolsheviks, and is only a purveyor of hatred. We all know what needs to happen to Bolsheviks, and what they have done to the world.

Same thing. "Bolshevik" means "majority", or at least those claiming to be in the majority. "We outnumber you, so you'd better just roll over and do as we say!"

Are you speaking of Bolsheviks or are you really expressing "zionist" hatred without even knowing it? I suspect the latter and maybe you don't even know about those pirates on the land....bandits....misfits....with no home to call their own....the "kazars" I think they are called. Nomads and theives. Khazarians and zionism go hand-n-hand.

So, two dogs barking at the Bolsheviks might benefit from a history lesson regarding who backed financially the Bolsheviks and who is friend and who is enemy. In my view the zionist are the enemy of humanity and the proof is already in the pudding if you study history and don't look for scapegoats.

Kazars and Bolsheviks are 2 names for basically the same group. Kazars are originally from Ukraine, which was part of Russia for a very long time and still has a huge number of Russians who speak Russian. They are also of the same religion.

I don't think I can agree with that simple explanation, but there might be something to it....cause and effect can be difficult to differentiate and of course it depends upon associations one has in their own mind with any given word, but if communication is to be improved, then I believe semantics are truly not trivial and need to be taken seriously. Semantics matter in real time.

I don't think Kazars and Bolsheviks are one in the same - but it is a matter of interpretation and probably outside the scope of this article, but maybe somebody ought post a thread to discuss this topic. If so, god bless em I reckon.

With all that said, I don't think it is a coincidence that troubles happening in *kraine homeland of the Kazars have flamed up the way they have lately in the 21st century when old ideas get dismissed and new better ideas discussed. I prefer transparency and discussing ideas direct at the table versus trickery and deception to achieve ones objectives evidently nefariously.

Now, let me sip my drink please and did you know Lenin met Kropotkin one time? If not, just ask and I'll provide a transcript of what was discussed.

ps - if nothing else, give this some consideration if you are a student of history - it was a meeting between two minds from different generations but sharing culture changing - https://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/kropotkin-peter/1917/a-meeting.html

Myself, I'm a student of Kropotkin - he is a hero of mine.

My reasoning is based on this: Kazar Jews are the ones trying to overthrow govt. in U.S. and bring in Communism; Bolsheviks did the same thing in Russia. They are both descended from the original Jews who worshipped idols, not God and who were basically pagan in their practices and beliefs. They are actually Satanists - which is what Bolsheviks also are. But both are Communists and basically of the same tribe. I do not like or want Communism in any form at all. I was in USSR in 1977, also Bulgaria and Romania - all 3 were still Communist then. What I saw convinced me I NEVER want to live under the tyranny that is Communism.

I don't think Kropotkin ascribed to the "communist" ideology as implemented by Lenin, but nor do I think the kazars and the bolsheviks are one in the same....

I believe Kropotkin espoused that those who work together, be they members of a community, or a species trying to survive in Siberia.....those that work together are the most fit. I don't think Lenin really ascribed to that, but I also don't think it does any good getting lost in semantic games.

At the end of the day, we all ought know who the main bully is in the 21st century and it ain't the communist for eff sake. It is in our own backyard where these bullies reside and I think it is time for better ideas and I think Kropotkin's work called "Mutual Aid" speaks to this. So what is the value in holding onto past grudges when the future beckons just like Odessa does.

It is no wonder the rest of the world is rapidly abandoning the US $. I would as well if that was an option.

You make a relevant observation on my use of the term. Maybe I shouldn't hide behind my generalized label, but I hesitate to go down the rabbit hole. I think we can agree on much of what you said.

Fair enough - it is tough enough to figure out how to get a meal on the table for so many and those who have made their living on trickery and deception foundationally - I think in the 21st century they will be eliminated once and for all for the sake of humanity and it will happen swiftly.

Funny to have just this morning introduced my eye doctor to Substack. He was chastising me for not having an eye exam since 2019. At the risk of alienating myself as an “established” patient, I answered honestly about my thoughts on Covid/masks/vax. Totally surprised to find a complete comrade! Wanted to know where I found my “news”. I’m a researcher so was doing pretty well on my own, but Substack put me on steroids. Twitter is just sound bites. Substack is Content… especially when you dig into the comments.

Coincidentally, I never reactivated my Twitter account… only used it to follow local sports events anyways. 🤣.

After the betting was complete - and I was "all in"....

Musk drops his hand on the table and says its a "flush" - all hearts.

I breath a sigh of relief and say in response - "full house" 2's over 3's.

I rake the pot in and say to Musk - you are a jerk and it

has been fun taking your money.

BK - this is the way it would go down in my imagination and Substack matters to me - I'm an investor.

Punks piss me off when they think they are too smart for their own britches.

Thanks for the GREAT easy to read and understand explanation! I'd read several others and hadn't a clue what the fuss was all about! That being said please hear me out because I think I speak for many!

I personally don't find this the least bit alarming or upsetting at all! In reality, I attribute Substacks success to the mere fact it specifically lays below the radar and hasn't been infiltrated!! Put in simpler terms I TRUST Substack - implicitly!!!!!!

EVEN BETTER - I derive some of the very best information from the comment section that (thus far) hasn't turned into a obscene vile shouting match! I have come to know and respect many of these subscribers!

I have said this a dozen times - you people put so much unwarranted emphasis in Social Media and I am a perfect example why things still work . . . WITHOUT IT!

I don't own nor watch TV - I do not own a smart phone! And I sure as hell do NOT partake in any form of social media! And yet, I managed to find this GROUP! Amazing ain't it? For those of us who do rely on it for income and require more subscribers perhaps you're being a bit selfish and should look to other means! I mean no malice but this is a GREAT VENUE - lets not destroy it!

Most of what I have learned I obtain from Substack and guess what? If I happen to miss something someone includes a link to an article or other Substack!! And better yet if I need to share something with someone I simply copy and paste the article into an email (remember those)and send it to all my friends which I do ALL! DAY! LONG! I even print out articles and hand them to friends! This is also a way to get more readers (need be - but also under the radar) from people we know and can trust!!

LET THIS ARGUMENT GO!!! PLEASE PLEASE SHUT UP - we have a GREAT thing going here - the very last thing we need is MORE exposure to ruin everything! I think the only thing I missed were Mark Halperins Twitter links to sports incredible plays and funny animals! NO BIG DEAL someone usually emails the same to me anyhow!!!

Let this go - leave it alone - close the door so no one knows we're here!!! stop bitching and complaining! Privacy is a GREAT thing (WHY I AM NOT ON SM) I am privileged to be part of this auspicious community! Please don't destroy it!

Bill Rice, Jr. - great article Bill and one that needed to be written. btw, my husband read one of the 2 articles of yours you recommended. I think it was the one on early spread evidence in one document. He says you did a great job, good article and he thinks you're on the right track - he has nothing more to add because we still don't know any more than what we've been told about the origins of the virus. It does seem that it was lab-created though. He will be reading the other article in the next day or 2. We've been very busy the past week putting out fires over some very serious matters - we're OK now but were very busy and now need some rest. This is why it took me so long to get back to you. (as a reminder, my husband is a virologist/immunologist who I told you would read your articles and comment if he had anything to add.)

Thank you. Your point ties in with the subject of this article. To make sure more readers receive rare and valuable stories, we're going to need a growing Substack. Ideally, the works of these invaluable writers would be amplified by Twitters - not blocked.

Agreed! Substack is one of the last free speech zones on the internet - and for that, I'm hugely appreciative. I'm not in a financial position right now to donate $ otherwise I'd be donating to several writers, including you Bill. Hopefully, there are better times ahead for all of us. If this war between Twitter and Substack continues, it may well be that Substack emerges as a HUGE force for good and for news, simply because it believes in free speech. I do see more and more writers joining it and leaving places like Twitter, so I hope that continues.

That's what I tweeted when this whole thing happened: Twitter and Substack should work together. People are saying that because it just makes sense.

The Twitter-Substack drama continues with a reply to Elon from Substack's Chris Best:

Substack came to my attention probably by way of Steve Kirsch. Steve Kirsch came to my attention likely through the Centre for Research on Globalization (globalresearch.ca) or What Really Happened. The latter two websites I have followed since November, 2001. Another website I have read for years belongs to James Howard Kunstler.

Websites I avoid include Twitter, Facebook, and Google. I do use Startpage as a search engine, which in turn uses Google, but at least hypothetically keeps one's information private.

Bill Hull is a pretty common name - there are two of us in the rural county where I live - not related through the Hull family.

My grandparents had a dairy farm, and I worked many years in the dairy industry. I have never had my own farm or any cattle of my own.

Thanks for letting me know, you're not the one I used to be neighbors with. Interestingly, the one I knew was born and raised ion a farm and his dad was in the dairy industry. When he retired, he owned dairy cows. interesting that 2 different Hull families had dairy cows IMO.

The momentum is in one direction that being clamping down on anything contrary to the government line. Any information that contradicts the globalist narrative or exposes their inconsistency or fraud will be strangled or outright crushed. It doesn't mean we should let it happen but to those whom rule, freedom is the exception to the rule.

Musk knows there’s good help and advice out there when in a pickle. Trust will always be an issue. That’s why free speech and enterprise are so important...they can assist in self-directed guidance. Hope Musk reaches out and conjures up a sit down with Chris Best, Hamish McKenzie, Jairaj Sethi. It just might HELP everyone involved. Who knows...it might even help Musk trigger the answers he seeks 😉.

Musk needs to forget about making money from Twitter and simply try to let it be what it should be. If he does that, he might help save the world ... He would then go down in the history books. Once more people realize that Twitter (and Substack) helped nab all the "bad guys" ... they'll probably prosper financially too.

Anyone remember myspace, second life, ICQ? Gone, although for other reasons, but still. Platforms come and go. When Twitter was heavily censored, people moved to Gettr. When, not if, when Substack will be censored, another platform will emerge. Until they establish the Universal Great Firewall where everything is censored except government approved websites. By the way, the Great Firewall Of Europe is already in place. I have to use a US VPN to access certain websites. At some point we will have to switch to typewriters and mechanical letter copying presses. Good luck censoring that. Unless they ration or outlaw ordinary paper. Oh, I shouldn't say that. Don't give them ideas.

Am I minority in that I am not reliant on Twitter, or any social media? Although I got a Twitter account after Musk took over, I only follow about half a dozen people and only look occasionally. I don’t Tweet. I get my information from a collection of blogs and sites built up over the years so I am independent of MSM and social media for News

and trustworthy commentary or even thought provoking stuff with which I don’t always agree. I started following authors on substack just about a year ago from links from other blogs, web sites but none via social media. Perhaps I am missing something, but I just do not understand that some people have no lives unless they are on Twitter or other social media. It is not the whole world - or maybe it is. But it seems to me to be more like a drug addiction.

The reason there’s a substack issue is because of my posts on substack that I spread to all the Nikola Tesla, Tesla and Elon Musk Facebook Groups. I’ve been publishing on these groups for 13 years, and am or have been the Admin for a dozen of these groups. My original Facebook Page from 2009 still remains @ https://facebook.com/christopher.l.edwards13. My previous Tesla Leaks 2.0 Facebook Group Admin account was removed on January 5th 2021, that had 10,000 posts, and was a member of 500 Groups, and maxed out at 5000 friends. But, was turned over to the Admin of Nikola Tesla’s World, before they deleted it. And, all the data was backed up, and now available on the Tesla Leaks Website. All the Admin’s of all of the Nikola Tesla groups knows exactly who Chris Edwards is. Including the Science Center at Wardenclyffe, the Tesla Museum’s, the Tesla Science Foundations, Tesla Ambassadors… and everyone else. They are also my friends on my latest, 9th Facebook account. So, surely, they know, that I know that they know what’s going on here! @ http://nurembergtrials.net and http://teslaleaks.com

I have no idea why so many people still clamor to be on Twitter. Its basically just like MSM media, so that in and of itself is telling.

It has been and always will be a honey trap. Musk is no hero.

Please dump that craphole as soon as possible and move on.
