Truth Alone Will Not Set Us Free

For 9 years, I followed a singular belief: that truth alone would be enough. That even in the face of systematic suppression, truthful reporting would inevitably reach enough minds to stand against rising autocracy.

I was wrong.

This realization comes after years of withstanding direct attacks from forces allied with Peter Thiel and Elon Musk—first, they tried to co-opt my voice, then discredit it when I wouldn't bend.

Since 2016, I've fought every attempt to silence me, staying fiercely independent and committed to uncovering what others wouldn't. Our core community has stood with me through every challenge, proving there's an unwavering audience for uncompromising journalism.

But here's the hard truth I've learned: Facts alone, no matter how powerful, cannot defeat a global machine built to dismantle democracy. That's why Musk's Twitter acquisition became democracy's most significant vulnerability in recent elections.

Using Twitter, Musk has been able to shape-shift reality to suit his purposes. Their operation wasn't meant to silence me completely but to trap my reach in what they call a "cul-de-sac"—a carefully controlled dead end of limited influence.

Truth without reach is truth without power.

While truth remains our compass—the beacon that will guide America through its darkest hour—truth needs amplification to prevail. This demands resources, powerful allies, and most crucially, it demands you—the people who understand what's at stake.

In the coming days, I'll unveil an ambitious new project that addresses the critical lessons of these past nine years. We're already strengthening narativ.org and our direct channels to you—the foundation of this new initiative.

This is not just another membership drive. This is a call to arms for everyone who refuses to stand by while democracy erodes. Your backing helps build the infrastructure needed to challenge autocracy's advance.
