🚨 Silenced on Social Media — Alive Here: We Need 329 More Members to Cross 3,000!
Instagram banned me. Twitter deleted me. The algorithms bury us. But here, truth lives — free for all. Help us cross 3,000 members today.
🕌 Jummah Mubarak!
Family, if you didn’t know, Friday is the holiest day of the week for Muslims. And on this day we say, “Jummah Mubarak” — which in Arabic simply means “Blessed Friday.” For us Jummah is the sacred day where we pray together, but it’s also a day of truth, justice, and accountability before Allah — and before each other.
I just landed in California. I speak here later tonight and again tomorrow. As you may know, I had a serious spinal surgery in March and have to have two more surgeries this year - including my next one on this Monday to address nerve damage in my right arm. It has made typing and working much harder, but my mind is still sharp and I’m in good spirits. I’d love your prayers.
THANK ALL OF YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT. It means the world to me.
This work truly only survives because of you! We now have 2,671 members — and we are just 329 away from our next big goal of 3,000.
I need you to please stand with me by becoming a monthly, annual, or founding member today.
Silenced on Platforms, Alive Here
Across social media, I have been silenced. Instagram has banned me. Twitter/X has deleted my posts at Israel’s request. Algorithms throttle our reach because we refuse to bow to propaganda.
The message from the powerful is clear: they do not want you to hear the truth.
And yet — every day, right here, I tell it anyway.
I tell the stories that CNN, MSNBC, and even so-called “progressive” outlets ignore. I name the war crimes they excuse. I show you Gaza, unfiltered. I expose corruption in Washington, Wall Street, and Tel Aviv alike.
That’s why I need you to join. Because when the platforms cut us off, the only thing that keeps us alive is our own community.
Free for All, Because Truth Shouldn’t Be Paywalled
Every major news outlet in America has put Gaza behind a paywall. The New York Times, The Washington Post, CNN, The Wall Street Journal — all of them charge people to read about genocide.
I believe that’s unethical.
That’s why every single article I’ve written on Gaza and this genocide is 100% free for all. You don’t need a credit card. You don’t need a subscription. You don’t need a password. Because when children are being bombed and starved, when entire families are being erased, truth is not a product — it’s a lifeline.
But here’s the reality: making it free for millions of people to read means I depend even more on those who can step up. If you believe that genocide coverage should never be locked behind a paywall, then I’m asking you — urgently — to become a monthly, annual, or founding member today.
Look at the Numbers
The New York Times, which has defended this genocide and carried Israel’s water again and again, has 12 million paying subscribers.
Here, we are fighting to reach just 3,000. That’s my next big goal — and we are 329 people away.
Let me be blunt: the leading news platform on Substack is run by an open Zionist, bankrolled by Democratic Party insiders. That’s who dominates this space right now. And I am standing against them every single day, telling the truth they will never tell.
When you become a member, you’re not just supporting me — you are funding the fight against propaganda itself.

Why Membership Matters
We are not corporate. We are not sponsored. We have no billionaire patrons. What we have is each other.
Monthly members ($10/month) keep the lights on, help us plan and publish consistently.
Annual members ($100/year) get two months free and give us the stability to build long-term projects.
Founding members ($500+/year) make it possible to grow, to take risks, to invest in bigger investigations and reach more people.
Every single membership matters. Every single one closes the gap between silence and truth.
What You Get and What You Give
When you become a member, you get access to subscriber-only posts, the full archive, the ability to comment, join the community, and shape the conversation. You’ll also get exclusive podcasts and behind-the-scenes updates.
But let me be real: what matters most is not what you get. It’s what you give.
You give us independence.
You give us courage.
You give us the freedom to publish pieces that the New York Times, CNN, and Substack’s insiders never would.
Every time you click subscribe, you send a message: fearless media still matters.
Why Now
Our next big goal is 3,000 members. That’s how we build staying power. That’s how we hire, expand, and fight harder.
I am asking you today, not tomorrow, not next week — today. Because every delay helps the people who want us gone.
If you’ve read our coverage of Gaza, if you’ve shared our exposés, if you’ve ever thought “this is work that must survive”— then this is the moment to turn that conviction into action.
Stand With Us
Family, the choice is simple. Either independent, fearless journalism survives, or it doesn’t. Either we build our own platform together, or we let billionaires, party operatives, and war criminals own the story.
I cannot do this without you. Please, right now, become a monthly, annual, or founding member.
Let’s show the world that truth-telling cannot be silenced.
Love and appreciate each of you.
Your friend and brother,
Shaun

🤯 Did you know that Israel had Jewish spies pretend to be Muslims to marry Palestinian women and start families with them?
🚨 Family, what you’re about to read is one of the most disturbing stories in Israel’s history — a story even most Israelis don’t know. It’s not about bombs or wars. It’s about how Israel infiltrated Arab villages by destroying the sanctity of marriage itself,

Family, before we dive in — this work survives only because of you. The New York Times has 12 million subscribers. We are fighting to reach 3,000. And I am keeping every piece on Gaza free for all. If you value truth without paywalls, please become a monthly, annual, or founding member today.
I am so grateful for each of you!
Keep it up Shaun 👍
