In the absence of any real truth tellers in the media who often create false narratives, independent writers, especially a truth teller as yourself, will save us. The truth matters in a society sleep walking into autocracy. Your written words will be remembered in history. It’s changed and "they" can rewrite history as they have done in the past. Now we know, we see, we document on a global scale. It makes it harder to tell a different narrative than the truth, but they try and some believe. In the end writers like yourself will continue to make a difference.

Thank you, that's very kind. Jon Stewart is doing good work, and he's got a huge platform so that's cause for hope. However, I'm vulnerable to the whims of those that control the distribution mechanisms. The fascists who run social media can erase me whenever they want. It seems like I have a little more influence every year, so we'll see if I can make any impact. I really appreciate the support of people like you!

As my own life is a battleground, in which being silenced and marginalised in order that the facade of normality is maintained through the dominant narrative that pervades educational, media political systems it's great to see you raising your voice to help expose the narrowness of the dominant narratives upon which the Western world is founded.
