What a great article on Whitney's page. Russia break with the WEF then continue to follow the WEF playbook like the teachers pet. Can Russia use this technology responsibly? I think we all know the answer to this. Let's face it, it doesn't matter if Putin is an enemy of the west or friends with China. The fact is that every government with the capability, whatever bloc you're part of, is implementing the same tech and will use it in exactly the same way. Its actually almost as if communism never ended, it just went underground and hid and reshaped itself in the belly of the WEF long before perestroika. So once again, I am left to say that as much as I am a pacifist, the only way out of this mess around the world is a very bloody deadly revolution. That is not something I say with any joy, believe me. But thanks Edward, your journalism is second to none
I subscribe already so paywall is fine. I also canceled my PayPal account because I had it with the censorship. Venmo is next. Fuck these butt wipes....
So sorry to hear this (although of course we understand)
You publish to be read - it's counterproductive to shut people out
Do you remember Cass Sunstein's 2008 article on Conspiracy Theories? He proposed a "tax" on Conspiracy Theories. Effectively, that's what demonetisation is - a financial attack.
Putting yourself behind a paywall achieves the same result.
We need a new payment mechanism, an alternative to PayPal. Your readers want to donate! Paywalls do not seem like the right answer.
However, no criticism of you at all.
Thank you for your fine articles which have utterly transformed our understanding of Russia and Putin. You make a unique and irreplaceable contribution.
Very good article on Unlimited Hangout, thank you. I have already told you that I was not rich, to say the least but since I got a job for a couple of weeks i will try to ask a friend to help me send you some little money. I told you already that I had no tech unless an old computer offered by one of my student and I don't know how to send money thru techs. I save on buying tobacco leaves that I prepare myself instead of buying commercial taxed tobacco so I might be able to transfer a few coins.
I miss the time when I could have send you a letter...
It seems that on the top of the Hill, a muse of literature and joy had you under a spell... Just great!
Just one thing while you still are in Georgia. You must know that it is the oldest place on earth where earthlings have been alchemizing wine... and in jar. Did you taste it?
I don't know what you are writing about yet, but an interesting plea for money. The idea of Paypal cutting you off is a sign I ought to read more of your work.
I could go broke quickly succumbing to every plea for money on stack. The first one I encountered was the fellow who invited me to click on stack for the first time and I still feel value with his newsletter (but that could change). I recently canceled one because I too easily succumbed to the plea and then had to read about her feelings, including suicide.
From now on I have to have read an author for a longer time, have the idea they are on top of information, something I don't know, something I might comment on, what piques my interest changes from time to time, so there's that too.
Why don't you write an article as to the reasons one ought to pay you instead of just making the plea for beans? What do you have to offer? And I might not like it, so there's that too.
This comment is for everyone making the plea, you are the lucky recipient of what I'm thinking over the course of the last few weeks while participating on stack, I don't care they won't read it. Its all in flux all the time, authors will have to continually earn it if they have a flow of revenue.
Hi there Riley , thanks for an update ! On the lighter side : can you share some thoughts of current state of affairs in sunny summer Georgia ? New citizens etc. Greetings .
I've avoided PayPal like the va** for a long time now, only use it to pay when I REALLY think someone who deserves a buck or two isn't set up to receive it any other way. Good luck!

and i'm glad to have you there, Edward. :)
Hi there Riley , thanks for an update ! On the lighter side : can you share some thoughts of current state of affairs in sunny summer Georgia ? New citizens etc. Greetings .
Is Russia standing up to the WEF ? Or not ? Thank you Riley, this is absolutely central.

David E Martin just did a PayPal, Venmo, Wells Fargo connection on this illegal activity of cutting people off.
He was cut off also. I’m sure he’s filing a lawsuit
