    Thank you so very much, and your kindness really helps make a difference. It's just under half of the additional monthly cost of a non-US-based safety-net backup that we can now turn to to rescue the entire forum if hosts with US-based servers are ever ordered to close down NWO-critical sites.

    And that may not be out of the question now: do see the Internet Censorship thread, which now has a lot of information on it... more literally every day.

    About the new daily system backup we have, I posted this in October when Tommy eventually found a perfect solution. I've been sleeping just a little better at night ever since then.
    As most reading this will know, we have a commitment never to monetize the forum or make it commercial in any way. (We tried adding a subscription for a few months about a decade ago — I think in the early days of the original pre-2010 forum, but I learned once and for all that was a real mistake and it was soon voided.) With Project Camelot, Kerry Cassidy and I always held the principle that this information wasn't ours to sell, so we never sold or copyrighted a thing. The returns always came in other surprising ways.

    Thank you CurEus

    After watching the shadow-banning/outright removal of freedom of speech in the last couple of days, it is imperative we have global contact.

    Since 2008 Camelot and since then Avalon have been a fantastic source of usually balanced information. Many good-hearted folk are still with us, and have since joined us.

    Let’s keep up the good work to ensure our longevity in these disgraceful times, to hopefully enable open and honest debate, trade helpful information to those in need, and to never give in to those who would remove our freedoms.

    Please consider a donation, however small, as I and many others using this forum need each other, have made good friends, and are very constructive in rationalising current (and potential) events.

    Much love to all in these conflicting times

    Thank you for reminding me of how lucky we really are to still have this forum.
    I usually take it for granted that things will keep working the way they are, but I feel we shouldn't wait until we read a desperate plea but just make sure the forum can keep on without Bill having to worry about the financial side of it all the time.

    I'm going to donate right after posting this.


    Update: Done!

    I just learned that Mozilla firefox is going to cesner Trump.

    Seriously it is a search engine and should be totally neutral if they censure Trump what else are they up to?

    Very sophisticated people can do raw searches, alas I am not one of them.

    I heard Brave is "okay" but hopefully others more knowledgeable can weigh in.

    I set up automatic payment years ago and continue to donate a small amount monthly.

    Even though I am not very active here on PA these days, I feel this forum is very important and it must be kept going.

    With deep gratitude to Bill and all the mods who donate their time. In a world like today, a place like PA can be a sanctuary. Let's all remember that.

    With love,
