Dear treasured Armageddon Prose reader,
This is not a complaint but a statement of fact: I put a lot of myself into putting this publication together and regularly disseminating fresh articles and have since fashioning it in 2021 out of nothing, which at some point I hope will pay off in financial terms.
Because I am aware of the cornucopia of content available in alternative media, I don’t take it for granted that any reader would feel compelled to contribute financially to Armageddon Prose and I don’t begrudge anyone who doesn’t, which is why I make all of my content available for free and leave it up to whomever would like to chip in to do so.
If you have ever done this kind of work, perhaps you might appreciate that a huge chunk of the time and energy devoted to producing Armageddon Prose content is spent not on gathering news and writing (and editing and often re-writing) high-quality material itself but rather on the administrative minutia — sending and responding to emails, the accounting, the uploading, the troubleshooting, etc. Although at first blush this might appear to be the case, what I do is not just scribbling my thoughts down in a Word file and calling it a day.
Monthly subscriptions through Substack are only $5/month, or you can get a yearly one for $50.
Of course, there are other methods by which you can support AP:
· Locals
· the AP merch store. (I’m gonna get my artist wife to design more exclusive AP art and put it in products, so if you’re interested, check in from time to time to see what’s new.)
· Patreon. (Although they are commies who throttle my stuff and have previously threatened to deplatform me for COVID heresy.)
· Bitcoin public address: bc1qvq4hgnx3eu09e0m2kk5uanxnm8ljfmpefwhawv
God bless and, as always, my deepest thanks for your readership, whether you contribute financially or not.
Back in the late 80s, before and after spending the warm part of 1987 collecting petition signatures to get Dr. Ron Paul on the ballot in four states as the Libertarian Party's candidate for president, I served as the only office volunteer for the Colorado Libertarian Party. In addition to writing a couple of book reviews for the Colorado Liberty, the party's monthly newsletter and a weekly letter to the Colorado Statesman, a weekly political paper, I was in charge of maintaining the answering machine message and responding to calls left on it, keeping the office open for those who wanted to pick up materials and/or ask questions about the political philosophies of the party.
I was elected to the Communications Chair of the party by acclimation at the 1987 convention, but drafted by the Ron Paul ballot access before I could fill the seat. The do nothing chair that I'd beat in the election wound up continuing to do nothing in my absence.
I understand intimately the dregs of being a self-appointed volunteer and can only assure you that there are a few who appreciate your service to the truth.
but i am for independent journalism, if i support you, then you will be dependent upon me, and no longer independent...
therefore, i can't support you, so you will remain independent...
simpleton logic, my friend...
