completely free. You just go to Michael more.com
and just put your email address in there.
We don't want to hear any other information from you just your
email so I can send you the podcast.
Make it easier for you to listen to my weekly podcast Rumble with
Michael Moore. So so what I'm going to do here
is read this this inaugural letter that I wrote To everybody
on my mailing list and Tuesday of this week.
And but I wanted you to hear it. I wanted you to hear it in my
voice and, and I want to encourage you to join and get
this newsletter for free. So, before we get started, let
me just acknowledge our founding underwriter of Rumble with
Michael Moore and now my letter to all of you, So our Empire has
once again, lost another War. The last war we won was 76 years
ago. This past Sunday at some point.
Don't we get relegated out of the Premier League Don't we
eventually get sold off to Yahoo in 2001 in the days after 9/11.
Mine was a lonely voice? Insisting, that we not invade
Afghanistan on September 15th, 2001.
I sent a personal letter to my email list saying this.
I feel I have a responsibility as an American to speak out and
say what needs to be said that we the United States of America
are culpable in committing many acts of Terror and bloodshed.
And we had better get a clue about the culture of violence,
in which we have been active, participants, I know it's a hard
thing to hear right now, but if I and others don't say it, I
fear. We will soon be in a war that
will do nothing to protect us. It's almost 20 years ago.
In a subsequent letter, I asked the nearly 1 million people on
my list to join me in. Trying to stop this war.
Many of you were on that list, you inundated congress with
calls and letters and although we couldn't stop that war nor
the one in Iraq. We did continue to organize to
march, to vote in, to raise a generation, who grew up to be
overwhelmingly for peace. Judah, tested War.
In fact, since 9/11 nearly 80 million young people have become
a voting age. I continued sending you those
letters sometimes upwards of 20,000 of you would write me
back. These were the days though
before social media, but soon we would all switch to likes and
tweets. And letters and emails began to
fade. I miss that immensely, the more
personal, and intimate discourse that we could have And it wasn't
long before many others missed it too.
Facebook had made a stupid Twitter made us angry Instagram.
Just made us hungry for well-lit food.
Emails, you know, the thoughtful letter to long lost friend or
the angry missive to a member of Congress.
Did eventually make a glorious comeback.
So I want to reconnect with all of you in this manner by sending
you my weekly letter with a bunch of new thinking and fresh
ideas and how we can turn things around.
We are in the midst of trying to survive three massive pandemics
all at once. Covid climate and the coup.
We are in a disastrous ecological pandemic that may
also be the cause of the coronavirus pandemic Mother.
Nature has decided the only way to protect her Earth is to
attack those trying to kill it us.
By fire flood virus dead oceans drought bats.
Bio mass starvation. She she's just throwing
everything at us to see what sticks.
And I'm guessing, she's thinking, Hmm, two, or three
more. Pandemics should do the trick
with these mutant Apes. The final pandemic thrust upon
us has been the impending death of our democracy.
A plague of millions of white people who know that their race
is being depopulated and are hell-bent.
On destroying what's left of our system of Elections governance
and our hopes of equity and fairness and freedom.
They are the super spreaders of hate.
Ignorance. And our only comfort right now
is that there are about 10 million more of us than there
are of them. And thanks to their believing.
That covid is a hoax and bleach is a medicine.
We are now going to ironically outlive them because we lined up
and got the shots that prompt himself ordered for us.
So maybe there's hope. Here's how my new letter to you
will work. I've teamed up with an amazing
free service for writers and artists called sub stack.
Some stack is a publishing platform that I and many other
writers, believed to be a better and easier way to send you our
latest ratings, rants podcast videos, ideas recipes, all of
it, by way of a simple, elegant email.
That's informative subversive and entertaining.
A place where we can write you a poem, sing, you a song helped.
Open the only abortion clinic in your state discombobulated, the
domestic insurgents, eliminate the filibuster and the Senate
barber shop and show you our plan.
How to get 93% of the world vaccinated.
Each week, I'll share my new writings a random thought or to
my weekly podcast, which will be embedded right here.
In this email, just click play. Boom, there's the podcast. my
weekly letter will also contain some bits and Bobs or or maybe
something I've run across from a far corner of the world that I
know you're going to like all of this will come to you in one
Breezy. Email a simple easy to use and
share letter from Mike from me to you just like that.
And you can share your thoughts back with me.
Here's how to think of this, think of it as a million of Us
coming together and acting as one.
Finding ways to embrace each other.
To embrace and protect our democracy.
And to embrace this fragile World, which we inhabit.
I have been a witness to 40 plus years of those, in power
seeking, the dumbest down. Demoralize us, Crush our spirits
and keep us in a place with little or no political or
economic power. If we want to speak up to write
the broadcast ourselves, to have our voices heard, where do we
go? Ask Anderson Cooper to have us
on his show tonight. Instead of a hedge fund closing,
a local paper, how about just giving it to us?
And then there's social media. And let's be honest, there are
all massive corporations complete with their own often
Insidious motivations to drive eyeballs.
That's what they call it to drive eyeballs.
To get clicks. No matter what the cost is to
our social fabric. That's what passes now is.
Freedom of speech. My dear friends, I am longing
for a place to have intelligent civilizations.
Change of new and brave and beautifully, radical ideas.
A platform where I can write what I want to say to have a
thoughtful conversation with you, to truly connect without
the trolls. And the bigots stinking up the
place I want to act with you all of us now, In ways that will
actually affect change because you and I both know that our
time is running out. I've been shaken by loss this
year. Subsumed by the Injustice of it.
All and consumed in a quiet rage and by some strange accident of,
will I began recording a podcast in my tiny guest bedroom?
Exactly two weeks before the first covid death.
After that. I didn't stop.
I've done two hundred and five episodes of my Rumble podcast
and thanks to many of you. 30 million of those episodes have
been downloaded. I honestly don't know where I'd
be. If I hadn't had the chance to
talk with all of you, through my road NT USB microphone here, two
to four times a week. During this last year and a
half. And well hey we got rid of the
former guy, right? Right.
Yeah, I know. I know nearly half of this
country. Sick mad unvaccinated.
And they ate it all up. And they might again.
But remember, we are the majority now.
In 80 million of those Millennials have saved us, saved
us for now. So this is my plea, my promise
to you, we have a choice. We are all in Earth's.
I see you together right now and yes, we can beat back the
monster, but it won't be easy and it won't work unless we all
lock arms and fight the greatest nonviolent fight of Our Lives.
