I am guilty of the sin of not publishing.
This is something that we might consider a sin as it is a transgression against the faith of those that have signed up on Substack as my subscribers, for whom I am eternally grateful for that vote of confidence and support, and indeed I feel that I am guilty of neglecting you by not publishing more regularly.
What bought on this desire to confess to this feeling of guilt was the fact that over the last couple of weeks I have had a half dozen new subscribers who have signed up despite the lack of articles. These are people that have seen me commenting across the Substack platform, and perhaps on Twitter or Facebook, and have followed the link to my page, and signed up. To each of you who has signed up recently, I thank you for that - it’s been like a kick in the behind, which I definitely need and deserve, to help me to get back to focusing on publishing on a regular basis.
While I am guilty of not publishing on a consistent or regular basis, I am not guilty of the sin of “not writing.” Let me explain.
Since shortly after the Covid-wars started in 2020, I ramped up my daily consumption of reading and watching videos across the Internet. I always read a lot before that, but due to lockdowns, endless restrictions, the complete loss of everything I was doing pre-Covid, and an obsession to try and understand what this public health fascism was really all about, I increased the amount that I consumed exponentially.
The more I learned, the more I realized I didn’t know, and the more rabbit holes I went down. And the more holes I went down, the more holes I could see that warranted investigation. My research, which mirrors that of millions of people around the world, ended up expanding in multiple directions-and it all comes back to the countless attacks on humanity that we see day after day, which made me realize that the real issue is ‘global fascism,’ aka ‘world communism’ aka techno-fascism, aka ‘world government.’ And this obsession of mine has continued for over 3 years now.
During this period I have developed an extensive research library, which I initially called my Covid-19 research, but later renamed Global Fascism, which is made up of two parts. The first part is made up of articles, which I copy and paste, and notes from videos, that I file by date, month, and year. I will often write notes in these files, with my reactions to what I have read or listened to. And the second part is a massive set of folders from A to Z, listing every topic possible, with important notes cut and pasted, and cross references to articles, and a file on each topic where I pour out my thoughts, observations, and conclusions as well.
As a consequence of these habits, almost every day I write volumes, often many thousands of words. Which does distracts me from publishing. And it is, as you could imagine, extremely time consuming. I have often ripped up entire days doing this for as many as 8-12 hours in a given day.
It is easy for me to do this as I love reading. While I can’t say I was a brilliant student at school or university, I admit to being a lazy student, however I have always loved reading, and had a prodigious ability to consume countless books year after year. In grade 8, the first year of high school in Australia, my English teacher challenged our class to a competition to see how many books we could read in a year. I won that competition, with over 120 books for the year. All novels of course. The habit of reading for pleasure continued until I was about 40 years old, and then I developed a passion for understanding our world, and how it works, and most of what I have read since then has been non-fiction and current affairs.
I owe this love of reading to my mother. We always had a huge library of books in our home, as my mum was a prolific reader. I spent countless happy hours reading my way through her collection, which included many famous self help titles, like Think and Growth Rich, a multi-generational best seller, and The Power of Positive Thinking, which helped to create a lifelong passion for constant self-improvement, and the mindset that facilitates it. Without my mum I would not be the person I am today.
This habit of reading and collecting articles is my key methodology for developing my thinking, my knowledge, and my ideas. I collect from articles, videos, and comments across the net. And I have found one of the most valuable sources of information, common sense, and connecting the dots to make sense of the world is the comments sections. While you do often have to wade through a lot of waffle, it is like panning for gold, there are always nuggets of pure gold to be found. A heuristic I use is that the longer the comment the more likely you are to find real gems. The Internet has really facilitated our ability to mine the collective intelligence of the crowd across the world in a way that was never possible before.
But unfortunately in the age of American Big Tech censorship, the Silicon Valley fascists are damaging and degrading this incredible access to knowledge and our collective intelligence. Disinformation was never an issue prior to Covid-19, and there has never been a single study anywhere that proves the claim of the extremists, who are trying to become the Ministry of Truth, that there are harms from misinformaton.
Prior to the Covid-19 attacks on humanity, all it took to check the veracity of anything was a 2 minute Google search, and you would find comments from people around the world that had pointed out the misinformation, or confirmed what you were reading. The algorithms made it easy back then. We did our own fact-checking, and didn’t need to be told by totalitarian billionaires, global institutions, and their fascist government puppets, what to think.
The claims of disinformation, and the dystopian Fact-Checkers, which were introduced by western governments, Big Tech, and Big Media, are a tool used to attack the people that are calling out the lies, fraud and corruption of the global institutions, like the World Health Organization and the United Nations, for example the Covid-19 plandemic & the climate change hoax, and this is benefiting them all, especially the backers, which are the Davos fascist globalists of the World Economic Forum, all of whom are profiting from the lies, fraud, and the true disinformation, which is designed to create real harms, while often masquerading as a benefit, like “safe and effective.”
Actually, long before the Covid-19 public health terrorism started assaulting our lives in early 2020, I had been developing a project since about 2008, which I simply called my “Cost of living Research.” This project is a series of folders and files, from A to Z, where I noted observations and thoughts about the factors that affected the cost of living. This topic fascinates me, as I think it is the key issue for the majority of humanity, and often overlooked, or ignored, by our corrupt puppet politicians, and used as a weapon by the self-appointed global overlords of the United Nations-World Economic Forum swamp, and the hidden hands of what I like to call the IBFC, which is the International Banking and Finance Cartels, which are the true power yanking all our chains. Through this project I have developed some interesting insights which I want to write about in the future too.
Up until early 2021 I had no intention of writing articles. I wanted to focus on my pipeline of books. In 2019 I published my first book, which was written in Thai, a mammoth task which required me to learn the language, and to write the book. The only thing that was harder than learning the Thai language was writing the book in Thai. This book was about the challenges that Thai people face when they learn English, which is just as difficult for them as it is for a native English speaker to learn a tonal language like Thai. The entire sound system of tonal languages, and non-tonal languages, meaning the way that we listen, and the way that we speak, are completely different. My book, which you can see on the Kickstarter crowd funding page, is called PIPPASS™ Let’s Speak English & Stop Speaking Tinglish.
While writing this book I developed a revolutionary new method for explaining how to read and pronounce English words, which is called PIPPASS™ - which is an acronym for Paton’s International Phonic Phonetic Alphabet Sound System. It is a name I made up to give this methodology a unique identity. If you want to know more about it, click on the title name and link, and scroll down the Kickstarter page until you see the topic “More About PIPPASS™.” When Covid-lockdowns shut down the live of 4.5 billion people, including mine, I was busy with this project, promoting my book, writing more books, doing corporate training, and seminars using the ideas developed in my book. That all came to a screeching halt on March 18th 2020 when Thailand went into lockdown mode, and years of work went down the Covid-drain.
In early 2021 I decided I would start blogging about what was happening in the world due to Covid-19, and the endless attacks on people all over the world, as I was frustrated, like everyone else, with the lies and fear mongering of the mainstream media and our corrupt governments.
So, I started blogging on Medium.com, which Substack has vastly outstripped today, because it turns out that Medium is run, or at least controlled by, the self-appointed global fascist overlords of the Censorship Industrial Complex, a term developed by Matt Taibbi, the journalist who broke the Twitter Files.
Initially I was hesitant about signing up for Medium as I was concerned about censorship, having already been relentlessly censored by Facebook and YouTube from early in 2020, like everyone who shared anything that disagreed with their ‘community standards’ - which by the way is code for anyone that disagrees with the lies and the disinformation of the community of the Davos globalists, which includes leaders of the United Nations, the World Health Organization, the Chinese Communist Party, the Democrat party, the G20 leaders, and the World Economic Forum Nazis.
After reading many articles on Medium that appeared to allow both sides of the political divide, and seeing that there was a lively bipartisan discussion in the comments section, I thought it would be safe from censorship.
Big mistake.
I signed up for a Medium account, and then set myself the task of writing every day and started pumping out articles from Monday to Friday. I did it for a few weeks, writing and publishing every day.
And then I wrote an article questioning Biden’s border crisis, meaning the open border. I just asked these questions - ‘If the Biden administration is allowing in huge amounts of illegal migrants and sending them all over America with no Covid-19 testing, did this mean that Covid-19 was not dangerous?” Or Alternatively, “If Covid-19 is dangerous, then why is the Biden administration spreading Covid all over America?” Fair questions. Not statements.
And that was the end of my Medium account. 3 hours later Medium deplatformed me. And when I appealed by email all the cyber-terrorists would say was ‘it goes against our community standards.’ Which of course was rubbish as I had read them very carefully and thoroughly. It violated their policy of not calling out on Biden’s crimes against the American people. That was my sin.
I must confess that when the Medium Nazis de-platformed me I was enraged by it. And it took me a long time to calm down. I regard the censorship and de-platforming by Silicon Valley Big Tech companies as nothing less than international cyber-terrorism, which violates the United States Constitution, violates countless international human rights agreements, and violates human decency. The people behind this are nothing better than Nazis and terrorists.
After many months I finally found Substack, and to date it has been censorship free, but I have yet to reach that same level of commitment I had when I started blogging on Medium. Part of that is due to the overwhelming sense of frustration, which countless people around the world share, of how to stop these relentless Marxist-fascists who are attacking us endlessly. And also the fact that the more I have researched the more I have seen so clearly that the evil attacking us all is at the top of the western nations, and they have their dirty, grubby, psychopathic hands on all the real levers of power.
But this much I do know, is that as long as I draw breath I will never stop attempting to help expose these evil globalists, and to stop them. The psychopaths that are behind the Covid-terrorism, and the eco-terrorism of the climate change hoax, are waging financial and economic war on humanity today, and are responsible for the deaths of countless millions, which according to this article on The Expose, could run to billions, as predicted by Deagel.com as early as 2014. Mass murder is not okay. And ultimately these people must be made to pay. As Dr. Tess Lawrie said in the short video: “Mistakes Were Not Made: An Anthem for Justice” - which was co-written by Margaret Anna Alice, “Don’t let them get away with it.”
So, I am guilty of the sin of not publishing, but I am not guilty of the sin of ‘not writing.’ However writing is not something that should be filed and forgotten, especially if it is worthy of being shared, and so I must do better than I have done, and write for you all more often.
Thank you to all of you that are my subscribers, and to all of you that turn up to read my words even if you are not subscribed - it is greatly appreciated.
Ivan M. Paton
Thank you. Your thoughts ring true.
While I've never published on substack, I have indeed commented. And been overwhelmed. And collected. I have 680+ email drafts with links to share (my sphere of share-ees has dried up because, they say, that's too scary: I just want to have a normal life, living a happy day).
My eyes are always fatigued because of that darned rabbithole. Big Connections: In the USA, in Australia. In the UK. Across the globe.
I obsess and digress.
Keep up the publishing, please, and thanks.
Ivan, I’m SOOO happy to see you again! No need to apologize; we’ve all been through so much & every once in awhile we have to step back from it all - even if we’re still quietly watching & listening. Excellent piece (as always)!
