Thanks Stripe and Substack for Taking Away the Only Income I had! Go Fuck Yourselves ;)
Don't worry, I'll survive...?
[This was sent directly through email first, just in case Substack decided to be gay..like always]
Firstly, thank you so much for supporting me and the other writers at Liberty Magazine in the past. It really has meant the word to us. Liberty Magazine will be leaving Substack very soon; we just have some loose ends to tie up and then we will officially leave. As stated in my last Substack post, Stripe has frozen our accounts, so any money that you would have sent to Liberty Magazine has now either been refunded, refused, or to put it in their terms "lost". I am not the only one that has had this issue. In fact I just had a lovely conversation with
For now though, let me tell you exactly what we plan to do in the future:
To prevent anyone from shutting us down again, we are currently in the process of setting up a virtual private server (VPS) which will host our newly bought domain. This new website will host both our recently launched bookstore (Montag Publishing House) and Liberty Magazine's newsletter.
Christian's podcast, "Men of the Book," will be held every Sunday at 7 PM EST, however, Tim McClain will not continue to co-host, instead he has asked to take a back seat (due to his busy schedule) and instead is working hard to set up our new website. Instead, we have Texas native and production expert, Jeremy, who will be co-hosting the podcast with Christian. The podcast will be live-streamed on our DLive and Rumble, however, Rumble uses PayPal as a payment processor (PayPal has a long history of banning right-wingers), so we will be looking to diversify where our videos are found in the future.
One of the options we have is creating our own video server that anyone can access. And the idea has crossed my mind to invite people like Alex Rosen and Predator Poachers to join our server to make sure that no one can take down our content.
In the future we will be using an app developed by FUTO and Louis Rossmann called Grayjay. This app will allow any of you to follow our content without having to fear that we have been censored or that we are having server issues. For instance, lets say that our private server goes down while video sharing, we would still be able to stream to any other platform with the use of Grayjay.
The company will eventually be moving to Texas so that we can centralize and work more closely with our staff. (Well, as soon as I can afford to).
Finally, you're probably wondering how we intend to accept online payments in the future, well thankfully we are in talks with Revere Payments, the official payment processor of CPAC. While the negotiation between myself and Revere Payments takes place, we will be accepting other forms of payment through sources such as:
Bitcoin: bc1q34xvy60zvvxlpvn76vfpe3gxqplrf72pklarm3
Ko-fi: https://ko-fi.com/samara76
Cash App: $LibertyMagazine
PayPal: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=23E5MPLHVV6XW
As of right now, we don't have a physical P.O. Box for you to send checks to, the reason being as stated above, we intend to move the company to Texas and thus we will refrain from setting up a P.O. Box in our current state. Please consider donating to help support us. As you can imagine this has put my livelihood at stake and I'm not quite sure I can afford to pay my bills in the near future without your help. I was working a part time job so I could spend more time working behind the scenes to build infrastructure for Liberty Magazine. Any amount helps, thank you and God bless.

They had a lot of excuses, mostly they chocked it up to errors and mistakes. I imagine they don't want to market that they froze my account for the same reason they froze Donald Trump's. Bad for business if you just say that you hate your customers so you have to act more deceptively. For instance, people were getting payments refunded without them asking or with my approval, payments would no longer go through, money would go missing, random fees would be incurred, etc. Robert Malone has recently written about how they are now asking for more financial details and more and more people are lining up to say they have had similar experiences. This isn't going to go well for Substack.
Paypal once stole hundreds of dollars from me. No explanation, nothing. They told me for six months that they were investigating and that they would let me know what they decided. After that, they just said the money was gone, that it was consumed as part of the investigation. I'll never use Paypal again. Then, Square saw that I filed for an FFL and froze my funds.
We cannot trust any of these financial institutions to give us what is rightfully ours, and this is exactly what we can expect from a CBDC system when that is forced upon us.
We will have to find another way.
