"Good for Substack’s executives defending the vaccine skeptics, who I’d argue made Substack a popular and important speech platform all by themselves."
That is exactly the reason why I (and I suspect many others) came to Substack. When I joined, I put this as my profile statement and I stand by it:
"I detest the extreme narrative control and wide-spectrum censorship around this Covid-19 crisis. For the record, I dislike liars, I loathe those who profit from human misery." - Ned B.
Shutting down the truth seekers is a on going goal of the deep state that are pulling the strings. The Hatred that they are creating runs deep and some rational adults buy into it.
Hooray to Hamish McKenzie and Substack for standing strong in support of free (or subscription-paid) speech. Those who don't like the speech on Substack can and should go elsewhere. Please don't let the door hit your behind on the way out. You will not be missed.
Substack authors who were "vaccine skeptics" likely saved MILLIONS of lives. Can those who censored the skeptics say the same? Nope!
Readers should be free to choose what they read. Writers should be free to choose what they write. That's what the First Amendment is all about: Our right to speak and your right to listen. If either of those are abridged, we're all lost forever.
If you don't like something on Substack, here's what to do (in case it's not obvious, Platformer, Talia Levin, and others): Ignore it. Object to it. Unsubscribe. Ride away with the horse you rode in on.
As the old saying goes:
"Sticks and stones may break my bones. But names shall never hurt me."
Get some resilience please. Stop being a snowflake.
Note: We are NOT defending Nazis, racists, and fascists. We truly hate what they stand for. But labels slapped without evidence usually are wrong, designed to destroy people who often don't even hold the beliefs assigned to them.
I think we can be reasonably sure that Talia Lavin and her newsletter The Sword and the Sandwich, really cater to the Nazis, racists, and fascists in our country (i.e., the Progressive Democrats).
Bobbleheads don't overwhelmingly have any creativity to work with in my opinion. Their heads only move in the direction of the controller.
I'm watching "The Tattooist of Auschwitz" on Peacock right now. The issue I find interesting in the movie is the way people were portrayed on both sides with the way they individually adapted to the circumstances. Throughout the viewing it has made me think of how I would respond to a situation that dire. Also makes me wonder how well our young people would be able to cope.
Cried my way through Holocaust Studies and lived with survivors my whole adult life. I avoid holocaust films, they upset and depress me. The film seems to be taking an interesting approach. Thank you!
“….Other newsletters have already made the jump. Talia Lavin, a journalist with thousands of paid subscribers on her newsletter The Sword and the Sandwich, moved to a competing service, Buttondown, on Tuesday.“We’ve left Substack behind, after its founders stated, in no uncertain terms, that they’re not just OK with, but in principle supportive of, having loads of out-and-out Nazis on their platform,” she wrote.
A "nazi" turns out to be anyone who doesn't swallow the lies of the left. Someone who tries to silence your right to read and publish the truth is your enemy. Treat them accordingly.
"I’ve recently begun to wonder if my paid and total subscriber numbers are being sabotaged by some kind of nefarious and secret Censorship Industrial Complex operation.'
Absolutely, Bill.
"These groups allegedly offended by “Nazi hate speech” are no doubt really incensed because Substack hasn’t “silenced vaccine skeptics”…yet."
Again, absolutely!
I started my stack almost a year ago and have yet to hit the 3,000 subscriber mark. I think that I'm the only stack author writing about the embalmer clots and posting the nasty photos of them. One would think I would have many more subs.
Embalmers aren't the only ones finding these clots. So are cath lab workers:
We're just a teensy bit jealous of your high numbers compared to ours, Laura Kasner. But we keep on keeping on in hopes someone's life is changed for the better or they're inspired to take positive action.
LOL 🤣. Sometimes we have to read your articles with eyes closed 😝 because the photos are so graphic. Mind you, we passed out in immunology class simply walking past test tubes filled with blood. And we absolutely could not hurt mice or other helpless critters in the name of science. We had to change career direction for these reasons -- squeamishness and compassion.
But your work and that of so many others on Substack, Children's Health Defense, FLCCC / IMA, and The Highwire convinced us that our lifelong trust in "vaccines" and system "doctors" was totally misguided. We flipped 180-degrees and never looked back. Fortunately, just in time to avoid personal health catastrophes.
What's really hard these days, is when I see a baby or a young child and think, are your parents vaccinating you? It makes me very sad. But I have hope that the tide is turning.
I also appreciate the photos I have seen about from embalmers, & how horrible it is to realize how dangerous some vaccines may have contributed to so many deaths (allegedly). People need to see what embalmers, & as you mention, Cath lab workers, are witnessing from clots. Thank you.
Laura, I followed this white clot story when it first came out years ago then it seemed to disappear. I am pleased to see this reference to your Substack and your post. I am going to follow you now! It’s good to make your acquaintance!
This is another case of the accuser accusing others of doing what they do. The parallels of the socialist left and the socialist Nazi party are nearly mirror images. Censorship is a key piece of any totalitarian society just as Nazi Germany was. The irony is dripping off of all of these ultra liberal colleges and universities.
Doc, this is an old story that Matt Taibbi covered as he was concerned with the same censorship issue we all have. The “Nazi” story was enabled by these asshats fooling around with their readings. It was all fake as they screwed with programming and Hamish plus other company heads showed. Substack remains the only app that hasn’t bowed to the leftist lunacy. These Nazi sites were not even visited for like months and some a year plus. Until Substack somehow bows to these leftists it remains true to all the content creators to this day. They have been true to the first amendment. It’s why it’s the only site I use to find the truth and have no problem supporting their views with my money. Keep the faith Hamish knows what will happen to his company if he bows to these jackasses. It would become another leftist echo chamber.
I hope by now people realize that the Guardian and Citizen's Free press are just propaganda machines for the extreme left and those who profit from them.
I read a question/answer from Margret Anna Alice to Hamish McKenzie, (sorry, it was Mills Baker) and he wrote back reassuring her that Substack will stay true to their principles. (this was recent)
Has anyone thought to only read the things that they want to enrich their own lives, like Robert Malone and let the few people with "odd" ideas trade them among themselves!!! You can't stop peoples thoughts and their right to express them...........but we don't have to ever read a word they write, which I don't. It is my right not to.
Name-calling is a hallmark of the left. They invented words like "homophobe," and "anti-choice" to abuse the vocabulary to further their own agenda. Now "Nazi" is in vogue. Which is rather ironic, considering what the word means and who it is that is actually standing against the fascists.
Freedom of Speach...means all Speach. Strange some don't understand that. I am a Jew, however, I realize by shutting down one opinion leaves open the possibility my opinions will be censored eventually.

Didn't you hear (or read), Nazi is the new Buzzword!!☹️☹️
Sadly..as someone born in 1946, I would have preferred to have Nazi only in the history books. Surely they could come up with something more unique.

Your work has been incredibly valuable.
We're just a teensy bit jealous of your high numbers compared to ours, Laura Kasner. But we keep on keeping on in hopes someone's life is changed for the better or they're inspired to take positive action.
Indeed we do, Big E.
I pray that I've been successful in creating vaccine hesitancy. If the photos don't work, I'm not sure what will.
LOL 🤣. Sometimes we have to read your articles with eyes closed 😝 because the photos are so graphic. Mind you, we passed out in immunology class simply walking past test tubes filled with blood.

Big E - I too, have flipped 180 degrees.

This article is over a year old. It would be nice to have an update on any developments in the censorship battle on Substack!
I read a question/answer from Margret Anna Alice to Hamish McKenzie, (sorry, it was Mills Baker) and he wrote back reassuring her that Substack will stay true to their principles. (this was recent)
Legacy Media trying to eliminate competition to get back their dominant position as "policy shapers".
Has anyone thought to only read the things that they want to enrich their own lives, like Robert Malone and let the few people with "odd" ideas trade them among themselves!!! You can't stop peoples thoughts and their right to express them...........but we don't have to ever read a word they write, which I don't. It is my right not to.
free speech for me = free speech for thee
There are plenty of 'safe spaces' for people who feel unable to debate and defend their ideas.
Yes, they are called "institutions of higher education." Lol.
🤣
Name-calling is a hallmark of the left. They invented words like "homophobe," and "anti-choice" to abuse the vocabulary to further their own agenda. Now "Nazi" is in vogue. Which is rather ironic, considering what the word means and who it is that is actually standing against the fascists.
Personally, I definitely will not support or even read those who flee from Freedom of Speech.
Jolly good post! Thank you. Now if I could figure out how to contact Mr. Hamish....
I am actually scrolling through hoping to a link to send a Thank You to Mr. Hamish myself!!
Freedom of Speach...means all Speach. Strange some don't understand that. I am a Jew, however, I realize by shutting down one opinion leaves open the possibility my opinions will be censored eventually.
