A great idea. Caitlin Johnstone is relentless and incorruptible, one of a handful in this compliant and corrupted world. I will be looking into it.

Caitlin, I have yet to witness you writing anything treasonous to America. At no time have you advocated for betraying our citizens or government to an enemy, foreign or domestic.

I disagree with much of your writing, but it's always sincere and interesting. Never has it been treasonous. I would not like to see you damaging your credibility by providing your detractors with a talking point that supports their efforts toward calumny and marginalization.

Please reconsider the titular association with the term "treason." You are not a traitor.

Thanks Kaitlin, you do say things other professional media dare not say, and for that we are grateful. One idea, if we continue to make China our primary enemy, when many insist on labeling COVID-19 an "Asian Flu." Asian-Americans will never be first class citizens in America. Many Asian support our onslaught against China, but there will be some who will put there race first and ally with the Peoples's Republic.

Commit an act of treazine today. Sneak a copy onto the magazine rack at your doctor’s or dentist’s office. Leave a copy at the cafe. Tuck one into the Bible before you depart from your motel room. Intentionally leave a copy on the printer at work.

What a wonderful idea! I’ve been thinking myself that there should be better ways for people who don’t use Telegram or Substack to avoid MSM’s propaganda. Thanks for your contributions — the world is better with you in it.

UGH, gotta admit, I'm relatively new to Caitlin's stuff. I was really, and I mean REALLY looking for an antidote to the mainstream false dichotomy of left vs. right etc. Sadly after reading one story from the newsletter which I bought I have serious reservations that Caitlin is what I was looking for.

Caitlin, it appears to me, is stuck in 1970s style leftism, of which I was raised, Angela Davis, Gus Hall anyone?

For instance, In the story about the black guy being executed in Alabama, I find Caitlin's logic bordering on silliness. First off the victim of the perp was a black woman. Weird that Caitlin can't see the inherent issue that comes of this. Can't execute a black guy because of systemic racism? but if we don't' execute the perp of a black woman it's also systemic racism.. We can't win here.

Obviously we shouldn't be executing anyone, but come on Caitlin, that's some weak-sauce that skin color had anything to do here. Caitlin still sees George Wallace running Alabama.

Now if the guy got hoodwinked at trial that's one thing. But Caitlin didn't mention that at all. Just that the dude was black, in Alabama and the courts wanted some lady to dress differently. Seems another "white savior" complex at work here. And man, does that get old

Secondly, Caitlin goes OFF on Christianity in this article yet she uses as a reason for not executing the perp the fact the families of the victim didn't want him executed. Did Caitlin not see their own testimony?

"“We pray that God allows us to find healing after today and that one day our criminal justice system will listen to the cries of families like ours even if it goes against what the state wishes,” their statement read. “Our voices matter and so does the life of Mr. Joe Nathan James, Jr.”

They forgave the perp for his atrocities. A very Christian thing to do. So, bash Christians on the one end but not recognize their goodness on the other is disappointing.

Lastly Caitlin is very apolegetic to the f'in PERP. She says "I am so sorry for everything." The perp killed an innocent lady and you're apologizing...to him??? What the hell is that???

Damn, it's so frustrating. I was sooo hoping the populist would rise on the left, but it won't.

It's gonna have to be the right that adopts the guts of Eugene Debs, throw in a bit of Huey Long add some Pat Buchanan and Ron Paul to save this place.
