(Justin Deschamps) One of our biggest payment processors permanently closed our accounts, leaving us without a major source of funding.

Before I talk about what happened, I just want to thank you for any support you’ve offered over the years. It means a great deal to me and the small team I work with.
I’m the founder of Stillness in the Storm and co-founder of Vigilant News. I started this site over nine years ago, in 2013. At the time, my partner and I just wanted to share information we were encountering in our attempt to understand why the world was such a messed up place. I had no idea how big the site would become. We have over 100 million pageviews, 700,000 a month, and 190,000 unique visits a month.
Paypal banned my account today, sending me the following message:

We need your help now more than ever. We’re a reader-supported site and it costs about $3500 per month to run. (I don’t collect a regular salary from this.)

Together we’ll continue to fight against censorship.
Stillness in the Storm Editor: Why did we post this?
The news is important to all people because it is where we come to know new things about the world, which leads to the development of more life goals that lead to life wisdom. The news also serves as a social connection tool, as we tend to relate to those who know about and believe the things we do. With the power of an open truth-seeking mind in hand, the individual can grow wise and the collective can prosper.

I’m so sorry, Justin. I’ve had a run-in with PayPal several years ago with selling a mobile to a guy in Ukraine. He was clearly a scammer, but, PayPal’s process favored him over a long-time 100% up votes user on eBay. They offered zero avenue for my appeal, so I have never again done business with them. Not because it was a lot of money – it wasn’t, but because of the principle. Given their ethics were completely questionable then, I’m not at all surprised they now act against anyone going against their preferred narrative. For everyone reading this and if you question what’s happening, look up the mass psychosis brought on by Goebbels, et al, in pre-WWII Germany. The tactics are EXACTLY the same as Hitler’s. Exactly. I see no reason yet for the totalitarians to reverse course. This will get a lot worse before it gets better. Forget about the T-man – he has been pushing with constant email solicitations for money, and pushing vackscenes, so he’s DS now as well. Please go out and get on a school board or county commission. Get involved in the community. I think grass roots is the only way. And don’t resort to violence, as that makes you a target for Biden’s SS, the Fake BI. And NEVER give up telling the truth as best you can. That is their real enemy – Truth. That and love. Love your neighbors. That will change the vibration of all around us. :)
They banned thelastamericanvagabond last year too. Closed my personal account. They literally seize and steal funds from people for decades. Despite the Fulford garbage, this site looked like a genuine attempt at providing news compared to several others. Good luck
