Best way you can do that is by becoming a paid subscriber on the substack.

I provide a weekly commentary of world events.

I also organize every week or two private group chats with supporters only where we shoot the breeze on world events.

You can donate, purchase a console if you want to chat with me, and do check out all

of my affiliates and leave a podcast review if you haven't already joining us.
