Good on you brave one. I cannot pay but when I can you will be one I will. I lose myself on Substack being new and old (80) but I can usually find you!

Ethan - I’m so happy for you. I love your writing and it makes sense. Your vocabulary has entered my lingo - truth bullets, rust, gears… The system. Your suggestion, for we the producers, to encourage our authors to “showcase” each other and show this is NOT a competition. We need all the parts of the society we live in, today. Your words speak to me in writing. Shane over at Firebrand speaks to me in videos and deep dive significant and current research, Waj at the Left Hook educated and informs for all black, white, and brown people - Unite! Nick at Sick of this Shit with Nick - gives daily cultural and military awareness… Rick and Lisa bring a lively community that’s down to Earth and they gather all sorts of information and ideas and links for action. And last but not least, Centered America. Real Gen X intelligent young men, daily briefs and a Daily Action, all of us can do.

Hey Ethan, wow, you’re famous now 😊

Seriously, I’m thrilled you did an interview so we can see the human beyond the screen text, but even more so that some of his followers can be introduced to you.

I’m 10 mins in, need to go to bed - 1.30am in my summer world 🙃 - but just wanted to touch base first.

I’ll be back sometime tomorrow to catch up on the rest of the discussion.

Stay safe ❤️‍🔥👊🏼

Didn’t silver and gold just take a dive? I understand the need to advertise so no shade, here. There were a few headlines a week or so back about silver.

Yeah those aren't my advertisements. This is ripped from Seth's stream

I'm new to this and didn't understand one thing you wrote. sorry. seemed interesting but I'm a senior and everybody says we don't understand tech. we do, we invented it. but it changes faster than we can keep up. maybe some can be reworded for our febil minds. what's changing is not very user friendly.

CJ,

First of all: Do not apologize. And definitely do not call your mind "feeble." You are absolutely right—your generation built the foundation this entire digital world stands on.

If this feels confusing, it is not your fault. The modern system is deliberately designed to be "user-unfriendly." It uses complex language and fast-moving tech to make good people feel like they are obsolete so they stop asking hard questions. That is a trap.

You are welcome here. In fact, we need your experience.

Here is the simple version of what we are doing:

The Vertical War: We believe we are tricked into fighting our neighbors (Left vs. Right) so we don't look up and see the people stealing from us (The Top vs. The Bottom).

The Machine (The Rust): The corrupt systems in banking, government, and media that make life harder for normal people.

The Phalanx (Us): Normal people banding together to build a way out.

My suggestion: Don't worry about the articles yet. Watch the video at the top of this post (the interview). It’s just a conversation. It explains everything in plain English without the jargon.

Start there. We are glad you found us.

- Ethan

Local businesses have charm and people that care. Pieces of art. Don’t be a minnow and let the sharks eat you up

You quit? I am looking forward to this discussion. I’ve been a fan for a long time and I strive to be a paid member. Good to see you, Ethan. 💜

Have hope!

🤜🏽🤛🏻

agriculture, co-ops, if the common people start holding gold and using it with each other, all these systems collapse, the automatically lose all power.

Important. Quickly watch before this vid is removed. About your 401k. https://youtu.be/fQ-mgVb6HzE?si=72stNYHCikCzBYK8

Yes how did you get your account back?

Ethan #VerticalWar Faulkner MF's avatar

Substack support made me promise not to share links to my own content in author's chats who didn't want it. Which to me means, I can't post in any chats except a few I know are safe. I'm not gonna risk it. My views and new subscribers have dropped dramatically because of it...

Laura T 💉 RN BSN's avatar

Remember that fake Ethan? I reported them

Christina Gurchinoff's avatar

Oh shit! Feel free to share on any of my social media sites including Substack.

I loved your interview! Good job! 💜

I live in a small, less than 100k people, in Northern California, and 3 Big Box pharmacies left out of 5 Big Box pharmacy’s and we still have 1 local pharmacy that people go to and I just suggested to my hubby that we should move over to the local pharmacy..

I’m listening right now. I’m in California, Hollywood to be exact, and I’ve been following since Ethan first spoke here.

Please get in touch and let me know if you’re interested in getting this into a more populous media to build a meaningful following.

Ethan #VerticalWar Faulkner MF's avatar

Rafael, this is huge. To hear you’ve been here since the beginning means the world. I am absolutely interested in expanding the front!! Let’s talk.

Yes, I get it. It looks like US of Money Laundering. What’s up with the Mattress Firms on a SECOND FLOOR in a strip mall?I’ve never seen a Mattress Firm delivery truck. I also understand Americans are known to be hoarders,however, do we really need this many Xtra Space Storage facilities?
