Shaun, thank you for all your diligent research, witness, and love in your quest for reporting the truth about Gaza and other horrific injustices. I have learned so much from you over the years. I know you are in so much agony but it gives me hope that you are surrounded by a loving family-- your own and all of us readers who appreciate you so much. May you find rest and peace when you need it as you continue your medical treatment. We are all rooting for your recovery.

This news is disheartening. You have had issues with your body since you were beat up in school. May your body heal expeditiously, so that you may continue on your soul's journey.

I have had 4 surgeries to fuse 4 cervical and 4 lumbar vertebrae. It worked out very well for me. I wish you the same success. Thank you for all that you do to keep us informed 💞

I definitely do pray for you Shaun. When I have a problem I think of all the suffering in Gaza and realize how blessed I am to have a roof over my head and food to eat. Then I feel truly blessed even though we have a deranged psychopath in the White House so I don’t know what to expect from day to day. It’s really scary 😱

Keeping you in my prayers Shaun. Continued prayers for a cease fire and talks for Gaza.

Shaun: You might try to consider the software feature of soak and type opposed to typing manually using your fingers. Just a thought. Peace and good health to you. 💝

Too bad we're running low on paid subscriptions, however a large percentage of people reading the news here are seniors that's survival is their SSA income. It's impossible to pay for subscriptions and pay your bills. That's why I have made many comments about unpaid subscribers not being able to participate or comment.

I find that a bit like the fascism we are fighting.

Just because we can't afford to pay for everyone that writes or videos Substacks doesn't mean we aren't educated and deserve to be invited as everyone.

Has Substack now just become another payment for play?

I have a very, very strong opinion on this, Hanneke: I refuse to hide any of my information behind a paywall, which is basically a means test. If the information is important enough to share, it is important enough to share with everyone.

I have recently fought through my issues with Stripe enough to offer people the option to subscribe to my substack, DrRimaTruthReports.substack.com, if they want to, but what they get is the good feeling that comes with support, no special comment rights, no paywall nonsense.

Furthermore, I absolutely refuse to pay for any substack that puts any information or commenting options behind a paywall. So there are lots of people with pretty interesting information that I am not reading since they have decided to act in a way that I find unworthy of people trying to stop a genocide or prevent the destruction of representative democracy or save lives.

So, yes, I agree with you!

I agree, Hanneke. It’s impossible on a fixed income to pay for all the subscriptions you’d like to. It seems like many are charging more per month than they used to, also.

This is one of the issues Shaun has been pushing hard - getting uncensored information out to people. But he can't continue to do all the work himself, especially as he faces additional health problems. That's why paid subscriptions are so important. Those of us who can contribute can help him get paid staff.

You are so right about getting information out to as many people as possible. Good point! Hopefully more can contribute enough on a regular basis to keep the info coming.

I'm doing all research myself and am working my but of. I'm 72 and have cancer, collective minimum SSA income but whatever I research and am working on a full information website for the people to realize their is one way to freeing us from this regime.

All the Substack post with the bad news won't set us free.

Firstly. Hey Shaun I am so sorry you are in pain. When I had shingles which is pain along the nerves, I was prescribed pregabalin

Have you tried? It worked for me. I cannot share anything on substack. The little toolbar that usually pops up near the bottom has vanished. Is there a glitch?
