Chris... I very much appreciate your own thoughts as well as using your platform to repost others from whom you find as a flashlight on the matter of concern. I not only follow you, but having been introduced to Larry Lepard through you, I’ve opened a new friendship and portfolio addition. I have a question... why are so many of your X posts deleted? Now, my favorite quote, from a minister whom I only heard once and don’t recall his name... he was a missionary in Jerusalem at the time... “God does the supernatural in such a natural way, that only the spiritually alert are even aware He is at work.” The essence of Awakening is to enhance our spiritual alertness. You may or may not be a follower of Jesus Christ, but you are working with Him nonetheless... raising that alertness level. Keep beating the drum, sir. Your sound is carrying power to awaken.

Wow. Thierry Breton. This is the very same EU Commissioner (just ask how any EU commissioner is 'elected'...) who, as a person in charge of EU27 economic activity and basket weaving, woke up in September 2021 to announce he was 'concerned' about the elimination of the EU automotive manufacturing sector, due mainly to... EU laws made up by the EU27 commission.

Still, he was only 10 years late to the party.

You can see why the EU27 stands apart as one of the least competent administrations in the world. Oh, and apart from opaque elections, how many times has the EU28 or EU27 budget been completely audited? Not once. Woops.

Why do I constantly get bombarded with QTR "💥🔥 70% off" emails, when I'm already subscribed?

I kinda subscribed as a 'show of solidarity' for the QTR podcasts and with perhaps an occasional good article here on Substack, but 1) the podcasts appear very irregularly and 2) the last two podcasts (Peter Schiff broadcasting from a sauna, and Montana Skeptic ranting about Musk, Russia, China, Arabs) were total train wrecks and 3) the articles here on Substack are mostly 'recycled' articles from other contributors.

p.s. back on topic: in the US similar censorship is happening, instigated by RINO's like DeSantis (and actively supported by RINO's like Trump) all under the guise of 'combating anti-Semitism.'

Oddly, I am a subscriber and not getting requests to subscribe. I'm okay with 'recycled' articles because they introduce me to others that may have something interesting to read/think about.

I have whittled down my reading to some core subscriptions and even then, I must scan and delete because of the volume. I can walk away for a week and 'catch up' as others may imbed material that warrant my attention. I can't live in the world of 'daily outrage' for the simple reason that it destroys the "joie de vivre".

I believe Chris has a podcast that you might find more helpful and listen to during your daily walk?

As bad as the EU & Thierry Breton are, don't forget how X, itself, is already a threat which won't abate any time soon. My post on this:

If only he wasn't so unctuous. "Pedo man" Buyout at 420 guaranteed. Absolute lies about self-driving cars, securities fraud, even tho the stock rumbles higher. He's now in bed with the aptly named Pentagon with SpaceX and Starlink. What a revoltin' development this is!

Only people who are allowed on X have this sentiment , I was blocked for posting covid info along with others I know . Definitely not a free speech platform , he will turn it into WeChat and data mine the users , digital panopticon

This guy technocrat / transhumanist will install your brainchip to fight AI while dancing around like a shaman in a Baphomet suit , no oligarchs are coming to save you

Stop this Musk worshipping non sense please. Musk is the least free speech person. He lies and deceives and tries to hide this behind NDAs and threats. Twitter has become unusable under his leadership and likely will go out of business.

Why aren’t people in the EU and UK erupting against their leadership over these “laws” of censorship and wrong think? They hit the streets in protest for any other reason so why not this?

The pubs are still open, teevee is still putting out propaganda and porn is still available. Life is good!

Fock the EU

I would like to offer a hopeful, if not downright naive, opinion. For too long we anti-statists have been placated by our anonymous echo chamber of self-congratulatory approval and praise. We're going to need that catalyst to actually meet up, connect, and organize to get these big things done to combat this evil. Having the algorithmic echo chamber taken away might just be that kick in the pants we need to get off our a**es.

Sorry if you thought that was the revolution , it was the media trying to engineer a revolution .... I'm thinking French Revolution with guillotines not some punks with molotovs

Takeover of the US by corporations, Koch Brothers, ALEC, defense contractors MIC, virtue signaling lefties, snowflakes, the Squad. it's an ouroboros, not a spectrum.

Use of state money to shut down protected corporate speech, like Ronnie in the Free State of Florida? Where our attorney general elected after the dog stealing Pam Bondi termed out now says “Florida’s public school libraries are a forum for government, not private speech.”https://floridaphoenix.com/2023/12/18/in-florida-youll-read-what-the-gop-wants-you-to-read-and-nothing-else/ It was open and there for us to see. The Jacobins were pretty rough post 1789, you really want to see that here?
