A big thank you to all of you for your support. I was planning to send out a thank you message once we hit 100 subscribers, and you have forced my hand. Due to a certain concise report (about how the best evidence shows the jabs were useless at best from the beginning and can now be expected to be outright harmful) that has gone semi-viral, Okay Then News has gone from under 100 total subscribers to nearly 300. And we have gone from 1 paid subscriber (you know who you are, you beautiful person!) to 6. This really blew me away, and provided a real moment of joy, at a time that has been very bleak for me, as it no doubt has been for many of you. You literally had me in tears. So that’s it. What follows is a little about me, and a little about what we’re aiming for next, as we intend to (continue to) fight the COVID-19 hysteria on multiple fronts.
I am Dr Raphael Lataster. A (very casual) university lecturer and research assistant, usually hovering around The University of Sydney, who probably will now seek to cut all ties… My Phd is in Religion, though mostly concerned Analytic Philosophy, which largely revolves around evidence and logic. I have an MA in Religion and also a Masters in Applied Finance. My undergrad degree was a BPharm, and I did work as a pharmacist for several years, so I do have some Health experience, and an earned distrust of Big Pharma. I even was working for a few major Australian children’s hospitals until recently, having been fired for refusing the jab. This has all but destroyed me financially, mentally, and physically - I am still trying to pick up the pieces. But I have taken great satisfaction, one of the few beacons of hope for me in such times, in running OTN, in performing a public service by briefly (and with little to no commentary/ranting) highlighting instances where the mainstream narrative is riddled with contradictions, generally only using mainstream news sources (yes, against them) and the evidence from scientific journal articles.
The next big goal for OTN is to hit 100 paid subscribers. At that point, even though our net annual income will be less than $10,000, I intend to shift to this project (which includes the forums at CovidSkeptics.com, with the host’s ads to be removed) full-time. And that also means I can move on from topics that may irk many of you (skeptical research about religion), devoting all of my intellectual pursuits to exposing fake news. At the very least, I hope to be rewarded for my efforts here with something approaching a minimum wage income. Beyond that starving artist mentality, I could increase the quantity and quality of these reports, produce audio/video podcasts, and launch related projects, including waging legal warfare on all those that wronged me, the unjabbed in general, and our jab-injured loved ones. And above all, I want OTN (and the CovidSkeptics forums) to be available freely to all, without any ads, funded only via the contributions of voluntary paid subscribers.
And if none of that happens, it’s fine. It would be awesome enough if you could just continue to share the document, Science summary: COVID jabs initially useless, now harmful, as much as possible, to finally get through to those who still, despite all the scientific evidence, think that the jabs are necessary, effective, and safe. It not only would further wake people up to the corruption all around them; it could even save lives.
Thank you again,
Dr Raphael Lataster
Raphael,
I so much appreciate your open and honest tone. It would be great if there were news sources we could trust to be 100% accurate. I think that is an unrealistic and unachievable goal and so I've given up that pursuit. What I am looking for is honesty and integrity, which, in the end, recognizes, admits, and corrects mistakes when they are made, while still holding to an unwavering commitment to report the facts. I sense that in you and your reporting. I'm one of those new subscribers so I don't know much about OTN so there is still work to be done on your part in terms of developing your good reputation. I just want to encourage you to keep up the good work!
" I can move on . . . devoting all of my intellectual pursuits to exposing fake news."
You're going to be a very busy guy. Since the PLANdemic has ushered in a new level of state-sanctioned propaganda, can you tell me what in the dinosaur media is not fake news? I will admit I recently saw Ed Dowd on Tucker Carlson, who previously gave a full hour to RFK Jr. And Peter McCullough has appeared on several FNC shows, notably Laura Ingram and Shannon Bream. Much of even FNC hosts will toe the party line to discredit exposing the COVID fraud as Steve Kirsch found out the hard way. He offered to provide hard data of vaccine casualties and the FNC host. . . on air. . . refused the information. As for the rest, CNN, NBC, ABC, CBS, MSNBC, I"ve never seen a segment of my trusted sources even given any air time. That's a lot of ground for you to cover. Look at the bright side. You will never run out of material until the biggest fraud ever perpetrated on humanity is exposed. . . and snowflakes' heads will be exploding everywhere.
From what I read from others around the globe, fake news is a universal mental disorder. It seems national media globally are constitutional incapable of telling the truth. I"m especially interested in what you experience in Australia. My impression is at one time, Aussies were a particular hearty independent breed. What happened?
