I was a daily listener to the Critical Hour and very much enjoyed your commentary as well as those of other guests. I was shocked as to how quickly things were shut down and I'll sorely miss the insightful commentary that was offered. Political Misfits were on vacation for a week and probably were unaware of the impending closure. The Critical Hour was one of the best put together shows I've seen bar none and something like this needs to be reconstituted. I agree that it was perilous to rely on an Russian platform for this sort of thing, but let's keep in mind that they've shut down anyone who doesn't offer the desired narrative. In the meantime, I intend to follow you and the other guests separately.

Thanks, Gregory. Wilmer and Garland really did put together a great show. I'll have to start doing more if my own audio and video commentaries to make up for the loss.

"This is another moment in the aggressive elite campaign to close the Overton window and control the narrative—a campaign that’s necessary because

they are losing the argument, and are therefore desperate to shut down the conversation."

Right on.

Thanks,Jim, for closing it up. I appreciate all of you. Garland, leon, Steve, John, Michelle, you and all the brilliant people. You are all so knowledgeable and insightful.

I have a feeling everyone will end up popping up on existing (Substack) and new platforms, so it's just goodbye for now. <3

I was so disappointed today to hear the last of my daily dose of sanity. Of all the voices I've enjoyed on many of the shows over Sputnik radio, you are the only one to acknowledge what a loss it is to us, the listeners. It was so easy to hear you all in one place. I found balance and perspectives that will be more challenging to find, though I know you will all find other outlets. It will just be harder to find all of you. Thanks for many hours of insights and views that help make sense of our world.

Thanks, Bernadette. I know from you, Priscilla, and some of the other folks at NYC Free Assange that the show was heard and made a difference. So, I definitely wanted to recognize the loss for the listeteners. You are right to point out that it was a unique place where so many different voices could be heard in a two-hour segment every day. Searching around for discrete individual podcasts won't be the same.
