## Resource

Thanks for everyone who came out for this livestream version of the Dispatches Mailbag. I usually do this for subscribers, but wanted to try it out in this venue. In this livestream, I answer questions from you on the topics you want me to cover. I discuss the preparations I’m taking as the economic crisis starts to really hit, the end of Knowledge Fight and the toll of studying extremism and fascism, whether we’ll ever really learn the truth behind the lies the administration is telling us, including suspicions of conspiracies to stage assassination attempts, the Democratic Party’s disastrous platform heading into November and their corporate relationships, the state of my current book project, and more. Appreciate everyone who asked questions and who tuned in. Hang in there. Dispatches From A Collapsing State desperately needs your support.
