CRYPTOGON READER CONTRIBUTES $100
February 10th, 2007WOW! Thanks, DR!
Hint: In five years of running Cryptogon, I’ve never had an exclusive area for contributors or subscribers. That is about to change. All Cryptogon readers, including people who haven’t contributed yet, will continue to have access to the type of content that they have come to know and rely upon over the years, but contributors are going to have access to more.
This is something I’ve wanted to do for a long time. I’ll provide details soon.

Excellent news. The better to keep trolls in the darkness under the bridge abutment, exactly where their ugly misshapen souls belong.
Given the current course of elite policy, it seems only a matter of time anyway before we’re reduced to tiny islands of attempted sanity scattered across the surface of the electro-chemical swamp they would make of the earth.
Such a bleak view is perhaps a bit too negative, but based on centuries worth of tea leaves and old bones, such a prognostication doesn’t feel far from wrong. Like Kevin, I’m truly hoping my instincts are wrong — but they usually aren’t.
That said, we’re doing our damndest here on our own “farmlet” to manifest a more positive future the only way we know how. By moving past the high-and-mighty posturing of so much dystopian theorizing and DOING something about the problem.
For all the good things I can think of to say about hard-working dissidents like LATOC’s Matt Savinar, for example, I grew tired of the whole mess a few years ago. Our own migration from the states occured in late 2001, nearer the front-end of the growing American diaspora.
Don’t get me wrong, in the balance I see hard-working fellows like Mr. Savinar providing a service to those just now pulling their heads from the sand. But what about all those folks who’ve been reading “die-off” and dissident lit for years and are still behind the eight ball?
I’d rather die trying.
Assuming a subscription cost no more than Mike Ruppert’s late, great FTW, I’m in. I had a good income before I fled the USA, but am now earning 1/3rd of the old salary in New Zealand’s quasi third world economy. Agree with Doug, what I want is an info source for the American diaspora. All the other immigrants here have a support community, the Koreans, the Chinese, the Indians, the Tongans, the South Africans, the Somalis…but we are alone.
Despite the seemingly sclerotic flow, my gut still tells me the rate of North Americans moving offshore will continue to increase in the months and years approaching. Empires tend to create economic and conflict-driven refugee populations, until the cycle of bread & circus eventually crashes and they themselves disintegrate, shifting large numbers away from urban areas.
Exile has been a popular form of self-preservation for many centuries, if we’re to believe the literary record. Connections with fellow ex-pats will accumulate over the years, especially as our numbers rise. The exchange of more concrete coordinates with those in the vicinity happened for centuries via an early wireless technology known as the “grapevine”.
“American Refugees”
There’s a great title up for grabs. Any takers?
Pookie prefers the term “American Escapees”.

Sorry OT, here is a link from a MSM source CBC in Canada.
I second the motion to keep the pricing like FTW.
Speaking of FTW, I remember Kevin you commented that ‘Ruppert goes off, half cocked, to a third world country and, surprise, surprise, it’s not easy.’

However, I humbly request you read this latest post from FTW describing the exact conditions of the departure. It is a sobering reality for anyone interested in the non-MSM views of reality.
