In recent years, the message sent by the Establishment’s conspirators hasn’t exactly been subtle ... Also, note my own 'Yes or No' questions at the end of this piece.
I was going to write a piece setting up my next (and most-thorough analysis yet) of my own Substack metrics. The only reason I spend so many hours doing this analysis is I've become convinced the Censorship Industrial Complex is continuing to work overtime to suppress the reach of "Contrarian" voices like my own (and, now (probably), on Substack).
I'm trying to figure out the best way to illustrate why this truth-suppression program is so important to the "Narrative Protectors."
And then I realized that this USAID "bombshell" story illustrates my point. The entire purpose of this program is to prevent dissident commentary or research from ever "going viral" and reaching enough people in the public to trigger a Great Purge.
Everything is a Fear Campaign and our rulers also feel fear. What they fear most of all is the public belatedly realizing they've been scammed and then coming after said "leaders" with their proverbial pitchforks in hand.
The Censorship Industrial Complex is simply a pro-active program to protect these leaders and allow them to finish the rest of their unfinished agendas and enjoy all their many perks while they still occupy this planet.
So this was a set-up piece for my next "Substack metrics" piece, which, I think, will definitively show that "something" has changed on Substack.
Bill, do you think there is merit to a "cafeteria" or group approach to Substack subscriptions, wherein, for example, a subscriber could get 3 stacks for $10/mo, or 10 for $25, etc? With authors opting in or out of same....?
I support any reform that would help independent author reach more citizens and make more money from their vital work. I've spent a lot of time thinking about solutions that might better achieve this goal. I want to help writers like myself ... and help readers save money and be exposed to the articles they'd be most likely to read.
Great to hear! Do you have any firm numbers that could quantify this growth? For a week or so, my total subscriber numbers were spiking. However, my last five dispatches produced zero new free or paid subscribers - so my trends have reverted to the previous norm.
I just did some calcs - 66 new subs in the past week and 90 new followers on the app, also in the past week. If a large account re-stacks one of my articles I will get a significant burst, but I did not have a burst this week.
I look at my dashboard and it goes up every day by around 10-20 subscribers. When I publish an article, I usually get about 5 or so unsubscribes, and then it rockets back up again by about 20-30 new subs. The daily growth is very consistent.
I do not have many paid subscribers given how high my free subs are now.
The title here was a real attention grabber you should work on that as (from the number of likes and comments) I wasn’t the only one who noticed. Titles are everything. What’s really interesting is good old Bari Weiss over at The Free Press getting (rightfully) raked over the coals by her paid subscribers (the only ones allowed to comment after all — I could only like and agree) for today’s edition wherein one of her “journalists “ whines about the NED getting defunded by mean old orange man and electric car man—who in the world would say the national endowment for democracy is bad—it’s for muh democracy! But it was “balanced” by a nice piece about how smart JD Vance is. Balance! How sweet. Commenters also noticed they haven’t written one word about what complete assholes democrats look like while screaming about their slush funds and the evil Kennedy and Tulsi and Kash trying to ruin their other pet slush funds/ brown shirts. The comments were brutal and spot on. She’d better pay attention since USAID won’t be there to bail her ass out.
BTW, at that Mike Lindell speech I covered in Huntsville, Lindell told his audience he had been spending months coming up with a plan to block the efforts to steal the 2024 Presidential Election (aka "Too Big to Steal.")
Thanks to Lindell and many others, this program/project actually worked. So I'm sure that today Mr. Lindell's moved to an even higher place on the Deep State's Enemy List.
However, one would think Lindell's friend President Trump appreciates his efforts and, maybe My Pillow is going to make one of the Great Company Comebacks of my lifetime in the next four years.
If this column generates a couple of new paid subscriptions, I'm going to ask Carrie to order us a couple of his pillows. (We actually do need some new pillows).
I have an abundance of pillows, so does everyone in my family, towels(the best I've ever owned or used), sheets, dog bed, and anything else I can use that MyPillow sells that I've purchased over the last 4 years to do my part supporting the second hardest working man in the country. What these demons did to him, Trump, and everyone around them is disgusting and anti-American. Our government and intel agencies are still massively corrupted by generations of Stalin Communist party infiltrators who filled the Universities and intelligence agencies immediately following WW2 in the late 40's when the CIA was first being created. John Brennan voted for a loud and proud Communist in his early life who said he'd take up weapons against this country if he had the opportunity and this guy is now in the top circle of the CIA. There's much more I want to say, but I'll leave it at that. You struck a nerve in me on this one
This is the second or third article I've written on the "lynching" of Mike Lindell. Again, just note all the people and companies that participated in this effort to punish him and send a message to other business people and leaders who might emulate him.
"Bed Bath & Beyond ****was**** an American big-box retail chain specializing in housewares, furniture, and specialty items. Headquartered in Union, New Jersey, the chain operated stores in the United States and Canada, and was once counted among the Fortune 500 and the Forbes Global 2000. The chain filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in April 2023 and liquidated all of its remaining stores, with the last closing on July 30, 2023"
I turned FOX News off for good the day they fired Tucker Carlson. I watch almost no television anymore. I hate paying my quickly rising and highest cable bill ever. With internet package it's up over $200 now. I'll be cutting the cord permanently soon, but as you said, I'm taking names and making 'notes'
Upon further contemplation, "carrots" (bribes) work pretty good too. I'm reminded of the story I wrote about 10 months ago about a citizen journalist from Tennessee who pointed out the massive amount of money that was used to buy off the Education Complex (to keep schools shutdown and keep everyone wearing masks). The same lady lady later turned her focus to showing how much doctors get for administering Covid vaccines.
USAID is a "carrot" intended to reward media companies that "play ball" and protect all the bogus and toxic narratives. But "InterNews" is also a stick designed to club any company that is foolish enough to advertise with a media company that's supposed to be put out of business (to set an example to other would-be apostates and keep everyone in "the herd.")
.... So I hereby revise the caption under my photo. "Carrots and sticks probably work equally well with different groups whose behavior needs to be modified."
This has just been done to Trump in America,and is currently being done to Elon Musk.
“Our Democracy”= whatever the CIA says it is !
This is what Chuck Schumer is referring to when he says “six ways to Sunday”. This being discussed is only one of the six ways!
Please understand this!
The CIA was not supposed to direct operations inward towards Americans.
From its inception the CIA has been controlled by the private central bankers. The whole time they have been corrupted. From the start when the CIA was started with Nazi spys during the days of project paperclip. They were given a get out of jail card with the top secret classification system that has always been against the intended checks , and balances.
They are literally a criminal organization that is way more powerful than any other branch of government. They are not even supposed to be a branch of government!
Our founders never intended for this extra branch of government with secret operations.
Those in government who allowed it never intended for it to be inward pointing.
Again the CIA was never to protect America, or our constitution rights & freedoms it was always about consolidation of power to the blob( the monopoly stakeholder collective capitalism public, and private partnership( MSCCPPP) that has bastardized our free market capitalism to the point that it is Fascism/ communism rebranded now.

There's no way to "reform" the CIA (or these public health organizations). You have to abolish them all.
I think you'd have to nuke Langley, Virginia "just to be sure." Give everyone plenty of time to get out of town before we drop the bomb on the CIA headquarters.
So the auditing being done now shows that very few NIH studies on cancer etc. can be replicated.
But critics of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. say "science" disproves that vaccines, or the massive increase in extremely early administration of vaccines over the past 60 years, is causing the massive increase in Autism that occurred at the exact same time.
Maybe that's why my newsletter isn't growing as fast as I thought it would have by now - I selected the wrong name for my newsletter!
When I came up with the name of this newsletter, I just wanted to "brand" my name. I had worked selling advertising for newspapers and radio stations and had concluded that "branding campaigns" really were important.
It gets confusing. I can remember Meryl Nass, Mark Oshinskie and Alex Berenson better than I can the real names of some of these stacks.
One of my favorites is "Screaming into the Void," but I use "Simulation Commander" more than that. I think A Midwestern Doctor's newsletter is called "Forgotten Medicine" or something like that. But I just call it AMD (A Midwestern Doctor.)
I actually view myself as a columnist since I grew up loving columnists like Lewis Grizzard, Mike Royko or Paul Finebaum. And everyone just knew these people by their name.
Still not clear on just who the perps are and how it is so incredibly coordinated. Deep state? Sure. The very rich? Sure? WEF? Maybe, probably. The Democratic party? They play a role, but I think they are not in the drivers seat. Other supranational organizations? Could well be. Is there any one head for all of this? Wish I knew, but what difference would that knowledge make?
Oh, it's much longer than 5yrs since demonitizing & shadow banning began. You might ask Robert Spencer or Pamela Geller, or David Horowitz. I think it was happening to them 15-20yrs ago.

I just pointed a friend to you - who also writes a substack and - surprise - is also suddenly losing subscribers.
Something's definitely going on here, and it's not good.
Bill, do you think there is merit to a "cafeteria" or group approach to Substack subscriptions, wherein, for example, a subscriber could get 3 stacks for $10/mo, or 10 for $25, etc? With authors opting in or out of same....?

I am gaining tons of subscribers. My paid/free ratio is still very low but they are really rocketing up.

👍👍👍 🔥🔥🔥 !!!
B R I L L I A N T, please continue educating the people in how to ask the RIGHT questions !!!
I'm a big fan of The Socratic Method. I say this knowing that the leaders of his day killed Socrates for using the method he invented.
Excellent questions 👏👏👏
Actions speak louder than words.
True. But, boy, do they work hard censoring words they don't like or fear.
The "actions" that mattered most were the ramp up of the Censorship Industrial Complex. So what our rulers fear most of all is ... words.
So the auditing being done now shows that very few NIH studies on cancer etc. can be replicated.
But critics of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. say "science" disproves that vaccines, or the massive increase in extremely early administration of vaccines over the past 60 years, is causing the massive increase in Autism that occurred at the exact same time.
Excellent questions 👏👏👏
Speaking of Tucker Carlson (we’ve never heard from him and he was given of vial of the clots in September):
https://laurakasner.substack.com/p/tucker-meets-the-clots
AND…… Chris Cuomo told Tom Haviland he would cover our story a couple of weeks ago. He’s now ghosted Tom.
Hang in there, the story will find its way.
Reader - thank you for the encouragement.
I must always remind myself that this is in God’s timing. Not ours. 🙏🙏🙏
Bill you need a spicier name for your substack.
The Insurrection is taken! Hands off or FAFO.
Maybe Sedition?
Maybe that's why my newsletter isn't growing as fast as I thought it would have by now - I selected the wrong name for my newsletter!
When I came up with the name of this newsletter, I just wanted to "brand" my name. I had worked selling advertising for newspapers and radio stations and had concluded that "branding campaigns" really were important.
Jenna McCarthy told me how important naming your Substack is. I can thank her husband Joe for suggesting “Clotastrophe”.
"Clotastrophe" is a superb name.
On the other hand, Bat Cattitude— that's a fun name, however I never remember that. What I remember is "el gato."
Not going to name names but many substackers, some of them fine writers indeed, have blandly forgettable names for their substacks.
"Clotastrophe" is inspired.
It gets confusing. I can remember Meryl Nass, Mark Oshinskie and Alex Berenson better than I can the real names of some of these stacks.
One of my favorites is "Screaming into the Void," but I use "Simulation Commander" more than that. I think A Midwestern Doctor's newsletter is called "Forgotten Medicine" or something like that. But I just call it AMD (A Midwestern Doctor.)
I actually view myself as a columnist since I grew up loving columnists like Lewis Grizzard, Mike Royko or Paul Finebaum. And everyone just knew these people by their name.
We'd ask: "Did you read Finebaum today?"
I like it as it is, Bill Rice Jr's Newsletter. Works for me.
You can change the name, though the dot com address is harder to change.
Still not clear on just who the perps are and how it is so incredibly coordinated. Deep state? Sure. The very rich? Sure? WEF? Maybe, probably. The Democratic party? They play a role, but I think they are not in the drivers seat. Other supranational organizations? Could well be. Is there any one head for all of this? Wish I knew, but what difference would that knowledge make?
if there is a known head of the hydra that makes all the difference.
Oh, it's much longer than 5yrs since demonitizing & shadow banning began. You might ask Robert Spencer or Pamela Geller, or David Horowitz. I think it was happening to them 15-20yrs ago.
Thanks for the short boycott list in 2 parts.
OT, my reaction to RFK Jr.'s confirmation:
