May Subscription Drive
A shamefully shameless reminder
Thank you to everyone who has subscribed to my substack so far and your interesting comments! We might not always see eye to eye but discussing important topics hopefully means we can determine what the truth is in this chaotic world.
A special thanks goes to my paid subscribers. Your generosity enables me to spend longer researching the topics I write about. As you will all appreciate, for every article written, ten others have been researched, started to be written and then discarded. It all takes a lot of time.
So this is where the shameless subscription drive comes in. But before I even get going, let me offer you a discount.
If you have enjoyed what you have read so far, enjoyed the must-reads I provide and enjoy the community in which to discuss an eclectic range of topics then please consider upgrading to a paid subscription. This will allow me to spend longer producing more quality pieces.
I try to keep as much of my content free and ideally it would all be free but paid subscribers need extras. Think of it as buying me a coffee every month.
Remember, every subscription to an independent author is two fingers up to the monopoly MSM who no longer dare to challenge the narrative with original or probing analysis. The power-hungry censorship brigade have made it clear they are after substackers, so vote with your wallets to ensure free speech remains. Whilst substack are making money, they will remain censor free but any sign of weakness and they will turn into the next Twitter.
As a further incentive to subscribe (as if my persuasion techniques haven’t made you sign up already - nudge nudge), for the next 24 hours, you can get 20% off!
Thank you for supporting me and expect better to come, the longer I can spend focussing on this substack!

I work in a field where it is very difficult to discount because I basically sell my time. Also, I have loyal clients, some of whom have worked with me for 30 years, and they are responsible for my (relative) success.
I have never discounted my fees, especially for newcomers, because I felt it would be an insult to my existing, full price paying clientele. So my approach is to incentivize my existing clients to bring in new people, and give them some kind of give back when they refer new clients. I love the new clients, but don’t feel it’s right to ‘give them a break,’ over the clients who have paid full price all along.
Now I am not saying I’m insulted by your discount. I’m just suggesting another possible way to bring in new readers that actually may be more effective than a typical discount.
I love your Substack and pass it on on a regular basis!
NE’s stack is money we’ll spent. There is such value in the variety of articles and it keeps my echo chamber in check. I also enjoy the dialogue In the comment’s section.
