Unfortunately, still boring anchoring and not a lot of investigative reporting (I don't mean nor expect on pizza, I mean in general). This definitely looks like a "head down" effort on Ben's part for the time being.

We should make Twitter censor our demands to #BringBenBack.

But I agree. This dude has moral chops, from everything I've seen. I wonder if he, after a time, felt he could no longer stand by and keep quiet about the fracas of pizzagate, with all its terrible details, and this was the result.

I have been told that Ben will not be able to speak freely again until he is able to go on his own completely and to do that he needs to raise a significant amount of money.

How can we fundraise with all his social media nixed, in a way that will assure the public the funds get to Ben?

Another question--was Ben fully aware this would be the extent of the fallout? If so, why did he go after Pizzagate before he could comfortably jump ship?

I have a friend close to the situation but I was asked not to talk too openly about it so I won't share any details. I'll say that Ben has not changed, he has not given up but he does have a family to feed. All this does is continue to prove that there is something terrible going on at the highest tier of society and these people are very scared it will come to light.

Regarding fundraising, they are no longer raising money from small donors, they're looking for full financing or nothing at all. If they do get funding they will take small donations for individual projects again like they were doing before with the ISIS video for example.

This is just my opinion, but I think they're missing a large opportunity if they don't accept small donations. There are many on both sides of the political aisle who want to see Ben's work continue, and would be willing to contribute to help make that happen.

The amount they need to raise is very large but I hear you. The fight isn't over yet!

nomorepepperoni

Good to hear. If a little Vermont senator can raise large chunks of change, so can Ben Swann. :)

PS. Can't wait for arrests to start happening so that we might get Ben's based reporting back. He should be hailed as the next Bob Woodward, not scuttled into the shadows.
