Rebekah. Massive thanks for your understanding that there are some us, like me, impoverished pensioners that just can't afford any subscriptions. Thank you again for removing your paywall.

I remember an old Keith Laumer tale, a pulp sci-fi thriller called The Wasp. Quite apropos. Although we dissenters have an amoebic, slow ๐ŸŒ, inchoate consensus forming, and we feel isolated, there really, truly is a shitload of us. We grope towards awareness and determination. Challenge The Narrative everyday. Step up. It is ALL ABOUT Central Bank Digital Currency trackable monopoly money, Digital IDs and STFU. Oz has been HIJACKED by the WEF/WHO/UN/US. Step up. Policy-wise we need to de-corporatise, to nationalise. Let's have our own Currency, backed by OUR resources basket. No Panopticon. No Surveillance Capitalism and 15 minute prisons, I mean cities. Cut pollution, NOT power. โœŠ๏ธ we gave to change our fate. ๐Ÿ‘

Thanks Rebekah. While I understand the motivation of some for paywalls, your decision makes it clear that the community is also important. Many people are able to support only some writers, or for only some of the time. (In a similar - but also different - way, there are too many charities to support, and choosing between them when one has limited resources is always hard.) I hope that enough people keep supporting you, to maintain your high quality work for the whole community, as much as they are able to, while also supporting others in the community. Keep up the good work - thank you.

Generous decision. Thank you. I too get a lot from the comments...they always expand the story. The thing with substacks is that there are now so many of them and you canโ€™t subscribe to all you might wish too. Also some like Robert Malone just turned into novellas and youโ€™d need a day to read it all.

From Over Here, Rebekah, thank you. I do what I do for no reward, except seeing the defeat of WEF/WHO.

You were writing great stuff and so I was happy to give you some deserved kudo's, but now you have my full respect. To go AGAINST the insidiously excessive "mo money, mo money, no matter what" dogma that's rife in society- takes guts and integrity. Especially knowing you're making the choice to forgo extra income when it is your sole stream.

To choose moral right or ethics ABOVE more money, thank you, it gives me hope that the human spirit has not been crushed by industry. Bravo!

You gave people a lot of hope Ben. We all knew the system was rigged against you (us). Hope you're ok.

I can't help but think that all of this is just lawyers making money off our misery. I know so many people in Perth with no records who have been subject to covid lawfare, FPOs, and have had their lives ruined including being tortured in Hakea for minor alleged offenses (later dropped). It's bad out here Ben.

They called that being humble in the old days, and it was one of the highest compliments to be given, until the meaning got lost and it became uncool.๐Ÿ˜‰
