We have entered the Substack era

Twenty years ago, Craigslist captured the classified ads that were the lifeblood of the newspaper business model. Ten years ago social media captured the remaining corporate ads that newspapers relied on. Newspapers shrunk, consolidated, and went bankrupt. They tried to move online, first as a free offering for paid print subscribers and then as an online only subscription model. But only a few newspapers are making it financially. Owning a newspaper is now like owning an NFL team or a racehorse — a hobby for billionaires like Jeff Bezos or Carlos Slim.

Cable news profited from the chaos of the Trump era but now that the Orange Man is gone, their fortunes are slumping as well. CNN and MSNBC no longer report the news, instead they just have a host plus a few guests discussing the reporting done by the NY Times. Television news is now wholly dependent on advertising from the pharmaceutical industry and their coverage reflects that.

So for the last two years the NY Times, Washington Post, CNN, MSNBC, the Atlantic, the Economist, New Yorker, etc. have lied to us every single day about the coronavirus pandemic. They committed mass murder by denigrating treatments that are safe, inexpensive, and effective. And they exaggerated the benefits and minimized the harms from coronavirus vaccines. The entire bourgeois news industry now works directly for the cartel.

For a while Twitter hosted a thriving conversation where a wide range of critical thinkers posted data and analysis that were better than anything in the mainstream press. But then Jack Dorsey went full Nazi and deplatformed anyone who questioned the Pharma narrative. And Zuckerberg gleefully implemented Stasi-like censorship on Facebook and Instagram because it fulfilled his totalitarian fantasies.

Now the conversation has moved over to Substack and it is extraordinary. The combination of no censorship plus a way for the best writers to monetize their work has led to a flourishing of original reporting and brilliant critique. I am grateful to everyone who has subscribed to my account since I launched a month ago and I am enjoying the intellectual freedom of writing on this site.

I subscribe to 25 accounts. Substack reader (still in beta) organizes posts chronologically in a newsfeed so that one can read them like a newspaper. I want to direct your attention to a handful of accounts that are better than anything in the mainstream press. One literally cannot understand the coronavirus pandemic unless one is reading their work right now:

Alex Berenson should win a Pulitzer Prize for his investigative reporting:

Unreported Truths
On the Pfizer study that caused Twitter to block me
On July 28, Pfizer researchers offered updated results from the company’s pivotal Covid vaccine clinical trial - the 44,000-person study providing the key data supporting use of the vaccine worldwide. Last week’s report is the final clean update we will…

I’m envious of the scholarly accounts that were smart enough to make themselves anonymous from the beginning. Eugyppius is amazing:

More on Original Antigenic Sin and the Folly of Our Universal Vaccination Campaign
To review: We have now had ten months of mass vaccination against SARS-CoV-2. Nearly 7 billion doses have been administered worldwide. This unprecedented campaign has not eradicated Corona; it has not even suppressed infections. Instead, case statistics have ballooned almost everywhere. While the vaccinated appear to enjoy some protection against severe…

El Gato Malo was one of my favorite accounts on Twitter (he’s a genius and hilarious too) and I’m so glad that his writing has found a home on Substack:

bad cattitude
are leaky vaccines driving delta variant evolution and making it more deadly?
one of the great fears in any vaccination campaign is that the vaccine can wind up becoming the driver viral evolution and making the virus more dangerous. this is a special concern around imperfect (so called “leaky”) vaccines that are non-sterilizing. such vaccines do not stop spread or contagion of the virus. this means the virus will have lots of…

Aaron Siri just joined Substack. He’s one of the finest attorneys in the country. He will make a great Attorney General one day:

Injecting Freedom
Study Destroys Justification for Vaccine Mandates
Civil and individual rights are only meaningful if they continue to protect individuals during difficult situations. It is why the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the right of neo-Nazis to march through Jewish neighborhoods. It is why it upheld the right to burn the American flag. Protecting these rights when it is difficult protects us all. It assures th…

Steve Kirsch just launched a week ago and he is doing brilliant work:

Steve Kirsch's newsletter
15 things everyone needs to know about COVID and how to treat it
If I could only tell you 15 things, here’s what I’d say… Avoid all the COVID vaccines, even Novavax. Just say no. It’s not for anyone. No exceptions. The data shows that these vaccines kill more people than they save. You can end up dead or disabled or with a compromised immune system for the rest of your life. For kids, for example, we will kill over 10…

The original reporting by James Lyons-Weiler is extraordinary:

Popular Rationalism
An Evolutionary Explanation on Why Natural Immunity is Vastly Superior
SARS-CoV-2 uses all of the weapons it has in its arsenal. Why aren’t we? I have been waiting for some time to write this article, in part because it involves complex ideas from evolutionary theory that most people will have little reasons to immediately understand, and in part due to the need for data to emerge to determine whether the predictions suppo…
