Welcome, thanks both. It's funny you mention all the cookie pop ups etc. I spent ages trying to find a news site with the article that loaded in a timely manner and wasn't full of bandwidth wasting crap. Swapped the link as well for a better one eventually. I remember being surprised that I couldn't find one news site that you actually easily read an article on. Sign of the times I suppose.

Once upon a time, not too long ago I used to frown upon and wonder why in the world anyone would copy out an entire article here on Avalon,
in place of, or in addition to providing the link to the actual article.
Now I understand the value of doing so!
More and more when I visit sites these days (including the one you link to One) I am presented with a notice to allow Cookies or remove ad blockers , or to subscribe to a site etc. etc.
In the old days, we would simply visit sites and read articles/content on the sites without being hassled in the above ways.
So if you could provide the text of the entire article (and others as well in similar situations) that would be greatly appreciated!
Many times articles like this one are not copy friendly - they have photos that are essential to the story or a lot of embedded adverstisment etc...
Personally when I post something like Jon Rappoports excellent blog updates - it is no problem, but I find infowars, David Icke's articles often are best to just add the link
Blessings Luke
PS: Thanks One for the link I loved the article and depiction of the three stooges
But yes agree, it is much better to add some of story to work out if it worth ploughing throught the barrage of crappy ads, warnings and click bait. I do sometimes but I am normally in a rush for one reason or another (chores I should be doing etc). Tried to add some text for that BBC doctor post I made about the same time but just couldn't seem to copy any of the text (as you mentioned Luke) which was annoying. My Android tablet is not very cooperative half the time either.
