Thanks Bari. This is the interview I wish I could have seen 2 years ago. You will no doubt be labeled as a right wing nut by the likes of self-loathing Jews like Katie Halper but I am more confident than ever that many balanced left leaning types are paying attention to you. Paying attention and reflecting. I'm not confident they will share their evolution publicly as they are not very brave. The Secretary was clear and cautious in responding (he did a good job not taking the bait..Ha). The secretary was spot on but the heartbreaking reality is that his former boss just kept getting in the way and giving the gift that just kept on giving to the media propaganda machine. I did and still do trust his assessment of threats. Where I may disagree slightly with him is that I'm confident that many forces in the media (including social media) did everything they could to suppress the truth. Maybe he's just too savoy to know that one statement out of context will feed the rage machine. In the short term we need you and others working through substack to be relentless in doing what you're doing. I hope you will stay firm in conducting more of these and not cave to the Maoists . I agree with you that just how many substack subscriptions can one afford to just understand the truth? That's not sustainable. I hope (and believe) you and others are working to build a reliable free press that is accessible to all. That kind of coordinated effort in developing in this environment without billions seems daunting at best. My hope is that those of us that can MUST contribute $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ to reliable journalism and organizations like FAIR. For Americans of Jewish decent, you must fight back. Those that are drawing the moral equivalence between Hamas and Israel are not your friends. Those that just sit there and say nothing are cowards. Just reading Bari's substack is in important step in building your understanding of the world but if you don't keep your altruism on steroids' in check you will be useful idiot for the Chinese who will leverage your denial.
