Support Independent Investigative Journalism

Your support makes this work possible.

I don't take advertising. I'm not funded by billionaires. I don't answer to corporate media.

This is investigative journalism for truth-seekers, by a truth-seeker.

Why Direct Support Matters

When you support independent journalism directly:

  • No Corporate Censorship – I investigate what matters, not what advertisers approve
  • No Billionaire Agenda – No hidden strings or conflicts of interest
  • No Clickbait Incentives – Quality over viral moments
  • Just Truth – Thoroughly researched, rigorously sourced
  • Platform Independence – Can't be deplatformed or silenced

Philosophy: Everything becomes free eventually. Members get early access and extras. Public gets everything 30 days later.

🎯 Current Funding Goal

💡 Why Prospector? It's the sweet spot for most supporters—giving you early access to all investigations, topic voting, Discord community, and name credits for the price of two coffees. Perfect if you want the core substance without premium extras.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why Ko-fi instead of Patreon?
A: Less censorship, accepts crypto, aligns better with sovereignty principles, and Ko-fi takes 0% commission.

Q: Do I get anything if I don't subscribe?
A: Yes! All content becomes free 30 days after members get it. Members pay for early access and extras.

Q: Can I cancel anytime?
A: Absolutely. No contracts, no guilt trips, no hard feelings. Freedom of association works both ways.

Q: What's the difference between tiers?
