Bette Membership and Donation Drive: Supporting Unpaywalled Content
Your support is critical
***Please take out a membership to support the light of truth.***
This is the week of every month when I try to squeeze a dollar out of fifteen cents.
My work is entirely reader-funded, and I am not supported by Kremlin bag men or US billionaires funded by Kremlin bag men.
I made a commitment to remove the paywall on new investigations at Bette Dangerous, and I even went back in time, and removed the paywall on a year’s worth of reports.
I made that move because we are at war, and I am competing with “free” content created by foreign military intelligence aimed at destroying our ability to collectively see the truth.
I spent the day writing my latest Hot Type column — which I will generously excerpt here when it is published, and which you can always request from me if you are not a Byline member — and my blood is still boiling at dangerous levels.
I asked my podcast partner High Fidelity to send me examples of Nazi content on JD Vance’s Rumble platform, and I have not recovered from viewing it.
There’s a reason Vance is whinging about censorship, because somewhere in this country, the wagons of justice are circling, and I just hope it’s in time to save us from ruin.
Repeat after me and the US State Department: “Covert influence operations are not journalism.”
What happens on these pages is journalism — reader-funded and so independent, I can write reports like these:
So please, if you can, take out a membership and support my work or upgrade to a premium subscriber:
If you have been here for awhile and feel you are benefitting from the content, but prefer to make a one-time donation as a thank you, you can do so here or below at the Venmo link:
Please note that paid memberships come with perks. I host community events where we are joined by spectacular experts, and all levels of membership are invited to our Happy Hour and Speakeasy events.
Premium members are invited to join our monthly Founder’s Day events, and those who upgrade to Founding Member are invited to join our event with Opus author Gareth Gore. To Founding Members having difficulty renewing due to Substack’s wonky payment processor, please zip me a note to bettedangourous/gmail as I have a workaround.
Here is an upcoming events calendar:
Paid members also receive recordings of our events, and I am working on a compilation that will include recent appearances by Alex Alvarova, Monique Camarra, Greg Palast, Dietmar Pichler, and Martin Sheil, who will be joining us on Tuesday to break down the 165-page Jack Smith bombshell filing.
I have so much work to do between now and election day, I am grateful for you all being my port in the storm.
