REMINDER: Bette Membership and Donation Drive — Supporting Unpaywalled Content
Your support is critical
***Please take out a membership to support the light of truth.***
My least favorite part of writing is fundraising, but I am able to do this work because of you.
The next time I update you, we will have hit 5,000 subscribers! Bette Dangerous is read in 50 states and 80 countries, and the top four audience overlap is Letters from an American, Lucid, The Good in Us by Mary L. Trump, and Civil Discourse with Joyce Vance. Wow!
My work is entirely reader-funded, and it’s some kind of miracle that I made it this far through 2024 supported by my independent investigative reporting. Thank you to all paid members.
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 two years worth of reports.
I made that decision 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.
Your support allows me to do work that you won’t find in corporate and billionaire-funded media. I don’t have to hide the truth behind euphemisms or pull punches. We are facing a fascist insurgency and the more we understand what is happening, the better our odds are to defeat it. My goal every day is to serve you thoughtful, important, and historic content. Among my recent reports and series:
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 and beyond, I am grateful for you all being my port in the storm.
