I’m making a big move in the next few days. I have to confront and pack every last little thing around here and it serves me right for obtaining all these things in the first place, but suffice to say, I’m near blind from packing trauma.
When I’m at the airport with Lewis I will allow my nerves a rest.
(Lewis is all packed.)
Seismic Wave Of Globalist Resignations, Deaths and Vanishings
Crazy times, huge news stories every day. W
I can’t quite do justice to all the breaking news, especially about the mass resignations of major globalist leeches, aka “leaders.”
I have listened to, and highly recommend, this interview, about how it connects to the monetary system. There is good news in this interview, btw.
Orders of Business—Smaller Stuff
—The Like button on my end (for comments) is totally disabled. Have tried everything suggested to me, have tried everything Substack tech support suggested. Will persist until it is fixed.
—Not long ago, I lost 1,000 or so subscribers in a day. Please check your subscription status and make sure it is correct. I feel something is “bugging” Substack.
—I am so grateful to all of you for making this all possible. We will be expanding into new “forms” in coming months. June will be the month of metamorphosis. Our travel magazine is not a pipe dream.
Please check your subscription status and if you were unsubscribed without it being willful, let me know. (In that case I guess you’re not seeing this email…)

PS: Here’s a photo of George Trow when he lived in the Catskills.
Here’s my George Trow piece from last year. Thinking about his work again—he wrote about freedom and lack of freedom. He understood American lack of freedom better than any American writer I can think of. But it’s dark and not reassuring.
What would he have said, as a gay man, about the LGBTQ/Pharma alliance? Impossible to imagine.

I "liked" this email and it showed up and brought me to the comments, so that much is working. Seems like Substack is definitely having issues.
Oh my, packing and moving, for any reason, is such a tedious and stressful thing. Take care.
You lost 1,000 subscribers in one day?! Good grief. That should not be possible. The "Spider Sense" of many Substack authors has us thinking "something is going on" with Substack and/or its payment processors or whoever handles the emails, etc.
I just saw I've added no new paid subscribers in the last 30 days. I don't think I've ever gone 30 days without adding at least one paid subscriber. A well-known Substack author who is a friend of mine, says he just lost eight paid subscribers (I think) in one day or one week.
My open rate has also plummeted. My articles used to be opened by 43 to 50 percent of my subscribers. Now my Open Rate is about 31 to 34 percent. The bottom line is my articles aren't being read by as many people as they used to be (or my growth rate has fallen off a cliff).
There are many possible explanations for this and maybe I'm just being paranoid ... or maybe "someone" is targetting "Contrarian" Substack authors.
P.S. I've also had issues with the "like" button and have heard other reports of this ... and I'm getting a lot more "disputes" and having to pay $15 dispute fees. (I haven't won a dispute either).
