Substack Blog`

I have been intrigued by Substack ever since I heard about it.  I have blogged here on this WordPress sight for a long time. I have messed with creating content on Medium and LinkedIn.  Never saw the advantage to it.  A long time ago, I had a Tumblr blog and messed with that site too.

I started blogging at Substack here:  jeffreycarter.substack.com WordPress won’t let me put a good link, so just type jeffreycarter.substack.com and you will see the new blog.  (Free email subscriptions there!) I am also writing occasionally at The Epoch Times. Please subscribe.  Recently I joined the FairTax.org board.  Please write your congressperson in support of the Fair Tax.  I am on Twitter @pointsnfigures1.  I killed my old Twitter account at pointsnfigures due to their shadow banning and other stuff.  Go Elon!

So far, the WordPress platform is a bit easier to blog on.  Maybe it’s because I am used to it.  I think that the email subscriber part of Substack is significantly better than WordPress.

I don’t know if I will ever charge for content or not.   I have friends like Brian Lund that do.  It’s obvious writers that who had followers like Bari Weiss and Glenn Greenwald are making a lot of money on Substack via paid subscribers.  Alex Berenson recently started writing there too.

I do know that I am suspicious of all social media companies.  It’s obvious Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, etc are focusing on advancing an agenda that I do not subscribe to in any way shape, or form.  Parler was shut down by collusion between Big Tech and the Federal government which ought to give any freedom-loving person pause.  I have an account at Parler, Gab, MeWe, and Codias.  But, Parler before the forced shutdown was decent.  After, not so much.  Twitter is a left-wing echo chamber being D +60, but the ones I just mentioned are different kinds of echo chambers.

Access to free and transparent information is a hallmark of having a functioning democratic republic.  We don’t have that today.  Information is manipulated.  It’s slanted.  There is bias.

I saw the other day where President Biden ticked off some stats on Covid.  They were all fake.  Heavily manipulated.  Any statistician worth their salt could have called him out-but only a few reporters that understand stats did.

We have entered dangerous times in America.  It is clear that there are three subsets of people and their values are radically different.  This doesn’t end well, and it might be that the sooner it starts the better we are for it.
