Greetings to Clark World Citizens. I hope this podcast finds you well. Welcome to our final story for the month of December, 2023, issue 2007.

As I mentioned last month,

this is part two of two.

So if you want to listen to this big story all in one go, please go back to last month's issue for 8 or die, part one.

I want to thank you again for your support all throughout this month, all throughout

past months, past years, past decades. You are the ones who allow us to continue doing this job each and every month.

Without your support, we can't put together issues.

So, if you are inclined to do so, the last story of this month, we ask, please consider

going to Patreon.com for slash Clark's World and seeing how you can help monetarily support our efforts each and every month.

So as I mentioned, 8 or die, part 2, continued from Issue 2006 last month.
