Wow! I can see your research is truly top-notch and well-compiled, D. Hope this post of yours -- as have countless other Stacks of yours -- reach far and wide.
BTW is it just me, or do you also get this sense Substack algorithms are potentially undermining the work of us anti-est. muckrakers? I see your recent few posts don't appear to reach the same amount of likes/restacks as they did last month and wonder if it's purely a sudden lack of reader engagement or if Substack intentionally doesn't add your post to the homepage feed of your subscribers.
Considering Substack is still interestingly thriving as an almost-fully "free speech" platform where actual bans aren't nearly as prevalent relative to other platforms, I wonder if there's potentially backdoor deals made i.e. company directors agree to promote MSM hacks and manipulate algorithms to the detriment of dissident critics trying to gain readership traction.
Hmm... I never considered if article length is a major factor on this issue, as in my own publication both brief (i.e. my exposure of RFK, Jr.'s Zionist debauchery) and lengthy (i.e. my "Rothschild-Hitler" and "the ADL is a right-wing hate group" exposes) postings have gained significant traction. Since it looks like the topical focus of your recent posts fall under the same umbrella as those from last month, I can't help but think there's algorithmic manipulation.
If you're interested, I can do both a word count + likes/restacks analysis of your Stacks from Dec. 2024 -- present and compile a nice graph seeing if there's correlations somewhere.
Yes. Substack is very liberal leaning. They absolutely censor the feeds but you can get around it with subscribers and paid subscribers so if you build a following that engages and shares, you can beat the algorithm.
One small note: You forgot to mention the White Helmets as the people who most likely "placed" the chlorine cylinders at Douma. (I've read Robert Fisk and others.)
Clearing the air of the previous Trump admins mistakes would do wonders for his long term credibility. I see multiple TDS vitriol here on Substack from various people and sadly I believe it should stop. Two things come to mind (among others) that are significant.
One: OWS. Trump is painted as the perpetrator by many on this platform as well as others.
Two: this Syrian gas tragedy.
Please let’s not forget that from Trump’s very first day in the Oval Office, he became surrounded by traitors; literally operatives of the Deep State. He started his first term at such a disadvantage from lies and deception that he never fully recovered.
The Syrian problem as well as OWS were manufactured not by Trump but by the already in place traitors of our free society. He quite seriously never had a chance to right some of these wrongs.
His biggest problem today I believe is his ego. Admitting mistakes like these in his first term in my opinion would go a long way to cement solid leadership and foundations for his new appointees such as Gabbard to route out these evil doers.
Strong willed men such as Donald Trump have a very hard time admitting mistakes, but can we not allow him some grace? Our Heavenly Father obviously sees his worth or he would already be dead: eliminated from history.
I see a huge difference in him since the Butler assassins attempt failed.
Can we see the second chance this courageous man has been given as an act of divine covering? To me? God is not finished with him nor our blessed USA. As patriots, let’s not get all wound up in past mistakes. He’s taking a wrecking ball to the elitists and statists and they’re running scared.
If he can allow Tulsi Gabbard to do her thing (admit mistakes where they were made) and move on, I believe we may be on a bright path to human freedom and enlightenment equal to or better than the Renaissance.
If we stay stuck in bitterness, name calling, convictions of the past, the Deep State will win and a new Dark Age will meet us very soon.
Have you looked into what Assad did at the Hama massacre?
Multiple PLO massacres of Christians in Syria also not long ago.
I'd not heard of this entity before, thank you for reporting.
Look up NATO HQ for perspective if you haven't yet and note that the Lebanon embassy for the US has 15,000 employees and sits on 40 acres and five subterranean floors yet could not capture two wanted Hezbollah guys for 30 plus years with 2 million dollar rewards on their heads.

Lebanon was the only Christian-majority nation in the Middle East.
It's where I was born.
We prided ourselves on inclusivity. Always welcoming Arab Muslim refugees from all over the Middle East.
We had the best economy despite having no natural oil. The best universities.
They called Beirut the "Paris of the Middle East" and the Mountains of Lebanon was a tourist destination.
My early childhood was idyllic, my father was a prosperous businessman in town and my mother was at home with me, an only child.
Slowly, the Arab Muslims began to become the majority in Lebanon and our rights began to wither away.
Soon, we would find ourselves unable to leave our small Christian town without fear of being stopped and killed by Arabs. In Lebanon your religion is on your government issued ID.
As the war intensified and the radical Islamists made their way south, my home was hit by an errant rocket and my life was forever changed.
We spent the next almost decade in a bomb shelter, scraping together pennies and eating dandelions and roots just to survive.
If it was not for Israel coming in and surrounding our town, I do not know If I would be here today.
Lebanon is now a country 100% controlled and run by Hezbollah. I lost my country of birth.
I thank God every single day I was able to immigrate to America and live out the dream that BILLIONS of people only dream of having.
Now here in America, my adopted country that I have come to love so much, I see the same threats and warning signs happening now that took place in Lebanon when I was a child.
This is my warning to you, America, reverse course now while you still can.
It's not too late to save our freedom and preserve it for the next generation.
Ask Scott Ritter what happens to those reporting inconvenient truths when they are supposed to be supporting bogus justifications for starting desirable wars.

It could be because my last few posts have been longer, but it could be an algorithm thing as well.

If you have the time, that would be great!
Awesome! I think I'll get to that right now and generate a findings "report" for you maybe even by tomorrow.
Thank you!
The Islamic deflectionist blowhard blathers and bloviates and refuses to learn that Islam is the problem

Great article…what a mind 💥…scary stuff but the truth has to come out.
Thank You Dissident

Hmmmmmmm. The government has two faces

Follow-up on my previous comment.
At the time, in April 2017, I wrote about how easy sarin is to produce, refuting one claim of the Assad did it folks: https://socraticgadfly.blogspot.com/2017/04/once-again-lets-slow-walk-syria.html
A few months later, I wrote about what Hersh wrote, and said Erdogan, even more than US or UK, had the most to gain out of all this: https://socraticgadfly.blogspot.com/2017/06/sy-hersh-no-assad-didnt-do-it-this.html
I wrote about the weaponizing of the White Helmets here: https://socraticgadfly.blogspot.com/2018/11/white-helmets-russian-meme-vs.html
