NO MORE FAKE NEWS FUNDRAISER
SEPTEMBER 8, 2011. In my ten years as the sole owner and writer for nomorefakenews, I’ve never tried a fundraiser, but here we go, I’m doing one now.
Since 2000, when I launched this site, I’ve written tons of words, and most of them have been offered for free. I continue to do that. You can read them at my site, or you can sign up for the email list and receive them in your inbox almost every day.
I was blogging long before the word came into use. I also was carrying out investigations, and providing unique information on deep medical fraud, politics behind the scenes, and many other current subjects.
Of course, my main thrust is imagination, creative power, and magic, and this information, too, is unique.
So now I’m letting you know that you can support the site and my work. You can buy products listed in the site store, or simply, through PayPal, make a donation, in order to keep the work going.
If you see value in the work, and you prefer it to TV, newspapers, mainstream thought, and caches of online hubs, consider donating.
Go to www.PayPal.com, click on the “send money” link, then enter the email address, qjrconsulting@gmail.com That gets you into my account. Then enter a sum of $$. You don’t have to have your own PayPal account to donate.
My strategy, over the last ten-plus years is the following: take things to the limit, and then go beyond the limit. Find and transmit the knowledge that makes a difference vis-a-vis human potential, the potential of the individual. Don’t settle for what I’ve already discovered. Go farther. Don’t water it down. Don’t talk down. Talk up. Frontiers are only interesting as long as they are the edge. When one edge has been covered, find a new edge.
At times, I’ve considered trying to “discover a happy medium.” I’ve considered “making my work more respectable” for the masses. I’ve considered creating a few slogans and turning them into a bandwagon I then try to load people on to. I’ve considered finding a few popular themes and hammering on them with mindless repetition, so I’ll be “better understood.”
Each time, I’ve said no. I’ve rejected those approaches. They stand for everything I abhor, because the people I would reach in that way are not the people I’m looking for. Nor am I looking for that person within myself. I came to the internet because I saw it as a way to publish everything I couldn’t publish as a working reporter.
I still have a passion for the work. It increases and clarifies over time. I have many projects I’m bringing to fruition, aside from my site. It would be lovely to have a billionaire step forward and offer major resources—at which point I, in turn, would offer everything I do as open source. Free. Seminars, books, lectures, DVDs, The Magic Theater, etc. But in the absence of that, I reach out to you.
I’ve lived three or four lifetimes in my last ten years on the internet. Things have happened that are truly remarkable. And it’s not slowing down. People from all over the planet are responding to the work. It’s very gratifying.
Each day is a fresh beginning, filled with as many possibilities and realities as I can discover and invent. I’m setting no limits and I know there are no limits.
That is my m.o. That’s how I operate. No holds barred.
This fundraiser will run through the end of September. I won’t be posting a giant thermometer indicating how much money has come in, but I will mention the fundraiser in my articles.
And with your help, moving forward will be a little easier.
Thanks,
Jon
