For the last few months, I've been recuperating from back surgery while working behind the scenes to launch the media network I believe is desperately needed: Status Coup.
But, gotta keep it real: I've had bad cabin fever as my natural desire is to get out there and show you what's really happening in this growingly oligarchic country. And so, here I go!
For the next few days, I'll be reporting in the Roanoke, Virginia area and the Appalachian Trail. Just yesterday, a mother and a daughter climbed down from their trees—where they both sat in protest for over 30 days to stop their trees from being cut down to make way for ANOTHER dangerous, disastrous pipeline. But the story is FAR from over.
Like so many others across the U.S., "Red" Terry and Minor Terry's property is being stolen via eminent domain in order for greedy, reckless big oil companies to make a few more billion bucks this year. In this case, it's the "natural" gas Mountain Valley Pipeline being rammed through some of the most beautiful, pristine land in the country and DEMOCRATIC Governor Ralph Northam (remember the DNC and Tom Perez spending millions so this "progressive" could become Governor in 2017?) looking the other way while he continues to take legal bribes from the oil companies.
I'll be down speaking with the residents and people whose land, air, water, and futures are at risk for the next few days, reporting on my YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. And, of course, doing a little rabble-rousing when there's opportunity!
Personally, I think this critical reporting is more important than whether our president had relations with a porn star or Rudy Giuliani put his foot in his mouth. Unfortunately, corporate media won't touch these stories, so I hope you'll consider SUPPORTING my reporting for this trip via Patreon or Paypal.
Your support is how we together will launch a desperately needed media revolution!
