Hello Brandon. Welcome. Great post. There is a lot there. I hope others will offer discussion. It will take me some time to digest it and reply. It is great to have you here. I hope you will review what I have written in the posts I have published so far and offer corrections. I value constructive criticism and many of the technical articles I have written are not really my area, I am just doing my best. This is an experiment. An attempt at a think tank of diverse equal partners working together to examine the entire range of root causes for the world's problems and the entire range of possible solutions, in the hope that the best solutions can be discovered through constructive dialogue.

As for me accepting any payment for this Substack, I want to make it perfectly clear as follows. My current best guess at the root cause of the world's problems is embedded in what is written in caps below. But, really, this is mainly about me never accepting any kind of monetary reward for what anything I do on this Solution Seeking Substack.

I DO NOT INTEND TO EVER ACCEPT PAYMENT FOR WHAT I DO HERE ON THIS SOLUTION SEEKING SUBSTACK. DOING MY BEST TO WORK WITH WELL MEANING DIVERSE EQUAL PARTNERS TO STOP THE CLASS WAR BEING WAGED AGAINST ALL LIFE ON THE PLANET BY WARREN BUFFET'S CLASS THROUGH THE HARM PUPPETS THAT CLASS HAS INSTALLED AT MOST OR ALL POWER POSITIONS WORLD WIDE IS THE ONLY REWARD I WILL ACCEPT.

Those of you want to contribute financially are welcome to consider contributing to Brandon's Substack, but please do not contribute financially to this Solution Seeking Substack. I apologize for any Substack requests to pay me you might get. If you know how to turn those off, please advise.

Thanks again.

I fully support the need for payment on your Substack and invite others to support you with a paid subscription. My financial situation is tricky for the next few months so I have to be frugal, but I am seriously considering updating my subscription on your Substack to Paid. I advise others to please consider this too.

Please bear with me while I attempt to understand the valuable information you have provided so I can ask meaningful questions. It might take me some time.

One simple discussion topic comes to mind.

The goals in this post include coercing the NSA, other intelligence agencies, the Russian intelligence agencies, etc. to read this Substack and perhaps send infiltrators to study it and try to destroy it from within. We will analyze how they do that, regroup appropriately, learn from the experience, and improve.

https://solutionseeking.substack.com/p/edward-snowdens-contributions-to

I wonder how to include the CCP intelligence agencies in those who have this on their radar and are required by the very nature of their spying jobs to read and understand what is posted here. Further, I assume that the CCP intelligence agencies are already here, but are there lawful and effective ways of increasing the odds that they join us covertly or overtly?

The top of their command chain are vetted, surveilled, and probably wirelessly remotely controlled puppets for our enemy. But, perhaps, some of the subordinates are good people who are compartmentalized and never have been allowed to consider some of the viewpoints presented here. The enemy divides and conquer us. Why not try that on them, through this Substack, by coercing the intelligence agencies to read the viewpoints presented herein?

Chinese culture is something I've had difficulty understanding, even though I've been open to the 5,000-year-old healing arts and other sorts of wisdom (or "wisdom") they've developed (acupuncture, feng shui, their version of herbal medicine, etc.).

As to the political aspects, I didn't start paying attention at all till I learned of Shen Yun and the atrocities they've suffered at the hands of the CCP.

I agree that CCP infiltration is or will be an issue.

I volunteered two years with Movement for a People's Party here in the US hoping there really could be an alternative to the duopoly police state if we continued to use the current electoral system. (Nope.) That group was horribly infiltrated during the time I was there (mostly by Democrat operatives...or worse, CIA). But it wasn't always possible to tell who was which. Maybe after someone was 'purged,' in retrospect, some of the clues might start to line up for those of us not already privy to any insider knowledge.

And the intra-'office' (within-MPP) communications landscape was very tricky to navigate in the presence of these agents. Calling them out openly seemed never to work, really. They could always claim otherwise and pull all sorts of victim posturing.

One evening when I caught the vibe, clearly, from a CCP infiltrator, I made the mistake of going for the kill, so to speak. Wrong move. Accomplished nothing except proving that calling them out just does not work.

Thanks. This is interesting and potentially useful information.

I have some ideas about how to handle this kind of thing in Solution Seeking Substack. When things get challenging and/or complex it is often easier to tell who is WHO. "Know thy enemy by being thy enemy. Visualize what it would be like to be an infil-TRAITOR. Visualize how you would try to gain trust and how you might accomplish your objectives without anybody noticing it was you." One advantage and disadvantage we have is that we can easily store all of this and look at it later. On my Mac's Safari it is either Print To File or Save As PDF. This think tank is online. Therefore, the enemy only has to collect the data from Bluffdale storage or whatever. It does not need to drop an agent in here to infiltrate. But it might decide to drop an agent in here to steer this group towards failure, incite something unlawful here and destroy the group that way, litter the discussions with idiotic troll nonsense, divert us into paths that go nowhere, etc. A lot of this is going to happen with or without an enemy agent here. It is expected. That is the nature of contemporary society and the contemporary internet. As this proceeds, we will probably be tested, and, maybe, shut down. I think we would be wise to prepare for those kinds of things. What do you think about what I wrote here?

What you outline indicates, to me, that we need a different platform for the longer term, even if used mainly for adjunct conversations.

(I haven't the experience or the expertise to be able to point to a likely candidate, unfortunately. I just know quite a few to rule out.)

I very much appreciate your position on this in all CAPS , I think it has to be that way for all who do it if possible, as long as we play the debt instrument dependency game , they have us by the short hairs, nun the less, we must also survive to stay in the game, so self sufficiency and preparedness are the keys. I have lived outside the system, self employed my entire life , so I know this can be done , no its not easy. He is correct about CCP, but it must be remembered WHO financed and built them into this position, David Rockefeller always bragged , CHINA and the CCP was his model of success and what he wanted forced upon the. entire world. China cannot survive now without outside conquest and resources, so they are the muscle to achieve what Mr Rockefeller and friends want.

Thank you for the incredible information. It should save many lives.

In 2020 I discovered CDS (Chlorine Dioxide Solution). It was critical in significant health recoveries. I believe I probably need to stay on it for what remains of my life. Dr. Andreas Kalcker and Dr. Ana Mihalcea indicate that CDS is moderately successful and EDTA chelation is more effective. Some may not have the ability to use your services or those of somebody like Dr. Ana Mihalcea. EDTA enemas have been discussed. Perhaps by living in a low microwave environment (less than 0.0005 mW/m2), taking a healthy dose of CDS, along with a modified Z stack (zinc, quercertin, vitamin D-3, but a dose of vitamin C under 1 gm/day), one can prevent the nano tech structure from growing? Are we at the stage where we should be spending more time in Faraday cages and sleeping in them, while eliminating cell phone use (emergencies only) and avoiding AC EMF's, DC EMF's and dirty electricity? Many great people are self sufficient, rural, do not have access to the advanced medical technologies, and have chosen to opt out of the system, so the quality services you discuss may not be available to them. What are their best choices?

"

Hi Larry, we have worked with Dr Andreas Kalcker. The CDS dissolves the rouleaux. We worked to dissolve the ribbons and it took 6 months in an incubator. EDTA 30 minutes according to patents and I have seen EDTA clear blood within 1 day after infusion. I don't know if Comusav has done more studies on this, but for our group it did not dissolve the ribbons from vaxxed people fast enough.

This is very advanced and sophisticated. Strangely, I am probably doing as much of this that is possible with my limited capabilities at this time. And I fear I see the effects in others, friends abroad, friends locally, who are not even doing what I am doing. I am taking approximately three times the recommended daily dose of CDS Protocol C, am on a keto schedule where I only consume all calories and supplement during a 4-6 hour window (when I stop the CDS to allow for absorption and cycling), spend 90% of my time in Faraday cages with levels lower than the 0.099999 mW/m2 you quote, have worn silver Faraday cage material shirts around my torso all the time for several years except when showering (new, I get 40-50 dB protection, they oxidize down to around 20 dB after about a year, so it is not convenient or inexpensive). All my water has at least 5 PPM CDS in it and is double Berkey filtered, it is city water, and I have noted strange new viscosity surface tension effects in the beading of the water in the sink starting about a year and a half ago. My cat is rejecting more and more of the bought cat food, perhaps his superior senses can detect what the enemy is putting in everything? I found that I could no longer buy the right type of EDTA for chelation on Amazon but found it elsewhere, ordered more than I could ever use, received it, and am considering experimenting with EDTA enemas and making my own EDTA creams, to see if maybe I can try to help others who do not have the means to get the quality help that people like Dr. Ana M. and you provide. Advice on any or all of this would be sincerely appreciated. Further, if you want to create a publication suggestion for me dealing with your expert response and advice for me and others, please do, and perhaps you can either publish it on your Substack (where I could cross reference) or I could publish it here on this Substack. Thank you for your help. My goal here is to try to save and enhance lives to the best of my ability.

I completely agree. My simple best guess model (there are several models) is that all nation states are run by puppets that work for the undisclosed entity that controls the world. This undisclosed entity has cleverly set nation states against each other (divide and conquer) and the CCP against the US. So, if this is correct, the preferred way for the enemy to harm Americans with Voice To Skull or other EMF weapons is to have another nation state, CCP, Russia, etc. do it. That way it can continue to enslave us further through taxes so our military can act like it is protecting us when in actuality the DoD is working to harm us. It is a great system for our enemy. Horrible for us. Is there a solution that can resolve this situation? I have put my best guess out here and I see all kinds of problems with it. Other solutions have been floated in the labyrinth of Substack comments. The main reason I am here is to try to work with active well meaning equal diverse participants so we can discover the best solution for what I see as the most urgent problem. IE. How to stop Buffet's class from destroying humanity and all life on the planet? All of the solutions are valid and please continue to freely comment about all meaningful relevant things during this formative stage. We may split into sub groups as this matures that support each other but concentrate on the type of solution seeking of choice.

I am going to keep looking, for I am not convinced that there is no solution to this. It might be complex, it might consist of many solutions or many parts, but I feel it is out there. How many times did Edison fail before inventing the light bulb? This is much more challenging, maybe impossible, but I do not intend on giving in or giving up. Let's do our best to solve it? If we look at everything and find we can't solve it, then we will at least have a repository of all possible solutions in one place?

Agreed , but since this is a multifaceted 4th and5th generational war against us , so must be our actions and solutions. I too will never give up and NOTHING I ever say would even imply that, They just have a several hundred year jump start on us, and are quite cohesive in their efforts , we are quite divided, as you have said that is their main tactic Im convinced that the solutions to the death shots and depopulation agenda can be found in a COMBINATION of the life works of KEELEY, TESLA . SCHAUBERGER, RIFE and the brilliant people here liker DR ANA and fellow researchers. ADD to that NATURE has its own divine intelligence and forward evolution and will do its part to remove what is not aligned with IT , it has always done so. Beyond that , WE must move our energy to activate the yet unused parts of our brains and exist in a frequency their evil cannot touch, all the rest is a bit of chasing the tiger by the tail

Thanks. I read "A People’s Revolution ended WWI," on your cue. Also watched the CommonSpace video embedded there.

The video sums up pointedly: "Those ordinary soldiers and workers who ended the war by turning on their own governments are forgotten – because their actions represent the danger to the powerful today."

I cannot vouch for the source, linked below, but when I read these two mini-tomes, last August, it got me thinking about just the sort of questions you and the article that you linked are raising:

http://mileswmathis.com/putsch.pdf (added 2/8/16)

http://mileswmathis.com/stalin.pdf (added 4/16/19)

Those links come from this page, which seems to have been rearranged since I previously visited: http://mileswmathis.com/bestfake.html

This Miles person places the blame for the wars on controlling, corrupt industrialists, who persist in trying to engineer society to suit their own aims. Rings true to me, for what that's worth.

Of course, the so-called victors always write the history we are taught. And they can't even get a lot of the basics right. So, in my mind, the question of what to believe really is still fairly open, when it comes to the history that so many take for granted.

Thank you for your thoughtful comment. You make several relevant points. I will not claim to understand much of the complexities in the links you provided. Perhaps one trumps them all?

His Story would have us believe that the Mongols, after defeating all the best armies Europe could provide in Hungary, suddenly went back to Mongolia for (s)elections, and Europe was saved. To me, that, and this alternative explanation, are, simply very improbable.

https://www.sciencealert.com/scientists-finally-know-what-stopped-mongol-hordes-from-conquering-europe

Is it not also possible that the Mongols sent messengers to the rulers of Europe with a message like following... WE HAVE DESTROYED YOUR ARMIES. YOU WILL SURRENDER UNDER OUR TERMS OR WE WILL DESTROY YOUR CIVILIZATION. OUR TERMS ARE THAT YOU LEADERS WILL BE ABLE TO CONTINUE TO LIVE YOUR OPULENT LIVES AS PUPPETS. OUR RULER WILL PULL YOUR STRINGS. GET OUT OF LINE AND THE COOKS AND PERSONAL SERVANTS WE WILL INSTALL IN YOUR LIVING QUARTERS WILL MURDER YOU. EITHER ALL OF YOU ACCEPT THIS DEAL SOON OR WE DESTROY YOUR ENTIRE CIVILIZATION.

What I just crudely wrote in capitals above is more in line with the way the Mongols acted before the European magical retreat His Story would have us believe. Is it not possible that the lineage of that Mongol ruler now rules this entire planet?

For me everything is a probability. I am skeptical of all things, especially what I think is most probably true. And, I prefer things I can understand rather than relying on anything like His Story. For example, if I drop something like a rock, things like that have always dropped in accordance with the so called laws of gravity, so I assume something similar will happen in the future unless I am away from the earth and in space.

This internet is run by our enemy. We type into a keyboard and then things come back to us. We cannot know what happens once we hit "Send". We cannot know what happened between when we hit "Send" and we get a reply from something purporting to be something?

The internet cannot even lie about current events like COVID in a believable way. Why would we ever trust anything it says about His Story?

Are there clues in all of this that might lead us towards saving the planet? That is my focus in what remains of my life. I am also getting some very weird behavior as I try to write this. Things I write getting highlighted and changed right before my eyes. I should take a screen grab movie of it. I will send this and then edit the inevitable mistakes. Auto correct? More like Auto mistake.

Is it not possible that our planet is an experiment run by an advanced alien race? Is it not possible that this race has gifted the human part of our enemy (what some call the "elite") with what it needs to gain, consolidate, and retain power? Is it not possible that we are like lab rats in this experiment? Is it not possible that this experiment could also be part of a simulation, somewhat like Simulism, where all that really exists is our consciousness, and the rest is just programmed in? Is it not possible that Prison Planet Earth is one simulation that has been set up to see what happens if a selfish immoral criminal cowardly cabal is gifted with the technology and other things it needs to rule Prison Planet Earth? Does not this model presented in questions here explain all of the details you present? Is there merit in keeping this model in mind, but also, other models of how things work? Is it not good to attempt to derive and continually test and improve different models and theories for how everything works, using Occam's razor (simplest possible explanation), and when an exception is found, either the model has to change, have limits placed on it, or a new model is required?

Is "bead" a mistranscription of "head"?

Anyway, I could almost read the account at that link as a parable that is describing today!

Worthless "jewels" might, today, be interpreted as those not-very-smart-to-be-using, so-called 'smart'-phones to which most are hopelessly tethered.

Mouths "shut by golden chains" IS (obviously) censorship.

And "Watch! watch! watch!" is very good advice that can be applied today.

This comment of yours, Cathy, is one of the ones I was noticing got shifted to the wrong spot. It used to be down here at the very bottom, but in the last day or so, Larry's comments got shifted below yours, so now you're indented...but in relationship to which comment you're responding to?

Well, I happen to remember the context, but I'd have to go hunting to find the exact spot again where this reply of yours should have landed.

This is the sort of comment tree weirdness that Larry has been referring to.

...anyway, as long as I'm here...

Ever notice the energetic frequency of the names Odin and Minerva versus that of Nimrod? I'm noticing a clarity with the first two and a lot of 'static' with the name Nimrod. I'd never thought about such perception in relation to historical names before. Hmm.

You are most certainly welcome!

And I forgot to include my observations that we paid for these "golden chains": We traded in true autonomy for fake, consumerist 'autonomy' that is tied to the most basic sorts of self-gratification, and we also spent our own hard-earned currency for these tools of our own surveillance and control.

Not a fair trade, at all.

True. Our enemy is very clever. It knows how to plan several options, simulate several futures, monitor, adapt, spy, propagandize, compartmentalize, brainwash, poison, lie, brain damage, etc. What do its victims do? For one, its victims find conformist or controlled opposition leaders who magically have what on the surface appear to be great solutions for the problems the enemy created. Then the victims generally do not question those leaders leaders, somewhat blindly follow advice, and are surprised when things continue to get worse. How many examples of this have occurred since the enemy launched its COVID and associated acts of war around 2020? If you explore all the posts I have published to this Substack, some of the many seemingly impossible challenges we face will be described. My purpose here is to figure out how to replace this system that serves only one undisclosed unaudited entity at the top of the command chain of the puppets who control this world, and replace it with something that optimizes the harmonious well being of all life. My opinion is that this is the most important, urgent, and challenging thing ever attempted in human history. It will not be easy. Maybe it is not even possible. But I am going to do my best. Thanks for being here and for what you contribute.

Others have suggested Gab and Bastion. I have a Gab account and am not familiar with Bastion. My hope is that more will participate so we can make at least have a backup plan. For now, the strange sporadic comment reply tree errors seem to be resolved, but I think it is wise to have a backup plan no matter what. And, also, participants and observers of Solution Seeking Substack should consider the merits of creating backups in case any of us are no longer ready, willing and able to participate. The enemy excels at taking groups like this down. Now that we have an investment of work and thought here, perhaps we should create our own archives? Another possibility is to create a mirror site run by a different admin (not me). I am not sure when to send out a post discussing all of this, and what to include on that post. Suggestions, comments, corrections, etc. would be really appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks for liking the comment before replying. With the way Substack comments are set up, often that is the only way I can find your comment in the labyrinth and understand the context and comment you are replying to.

The following is my experience. I ordered some of this paint a few years ago. The fine print in the Amazon page at that time contained an expiration date but I did not read it. There is also an expiration date on the paint bucker but I did not read it. Approximately a year later somebody told me to be careful to use the paint before its expiration date. I checked the expiration date and it had barely expired. I falsely assume I could wait a few months and the paint would still be good. A few months later, approximately 4 months after the expiration date, I did an experiment where I printed a small box with the paint. The 40-50 dB others were getting with the paint was under 20 dB for me, this is not even as good as a simple mylar space blanker. Maybe I got a bad batch, maybe I did something wrong? Please see the comment below.

Q: I got this product but could not use it and it expired 2 months ago. Is it useless now? Are there any recommendations for using it now?

A: Hello, Thank you for reaching out to us. Once the product is used after expiry it may or may not work as well. I would recommend purchasing new paint to guarantee effectiveness.

I get the sense, Larry, that this comment of yours is responding to the one of mine in which I mentioned the Gab double posting. But of course it's not showing up in the right spot, per the recent comment tree weirdness that's been going on here at substack over several days, now.

Same thing happened to one of Cathy's posts. (I recently responded to her, and then you responded to me, and both showed up in the right place.) But only one of hers that I'm aware of has shown up in the wrong spot. And I see also at least one by "Thomas Guitarman" is hanging out at the top, where it makes absolutely no sense out of context. (Begins with "agreed," and is clearly a response to a comment of yours, not a posting to the subject of the main article.)

The recent 'consistency' in all this--if there is any, which is hardly the case--is that many of your responses are being dumped down here at the bottom.

...or at least on my browser, on my computer, that's where they're showing.

For what it's worth.

Thanks. It is worth a lot. We are at a stage of this think tank where there are many possibilities. Perhaps we stall here for a while and try to figure out where we go from here? Even if this fails in some ways, I view it as a learning opportunity and a success. I have been sleep deprived the past few days trying to keep up with this and some other life challenges. If others want to do something similar but better I hope they will invite us/me. What next?

Hello Cathy. Thank you for the great suggestion. I did find a setting for "Default Comment Sort" and I changed it to Chronological, which probably makes most sense for our think tank kind of comments. However, this is probably not the problem. When Substack puts the comment in the wrong place (not where it should be as a reply but somewhere else), it should not matter what this setting (or any other setting I could find) is?

EG. Right now, as I type this, my reply is to your comment "Larry, have you checked you". No matter what the sort setting is, this comment should be in the comment tree under your comment, not sporadically put somewhere else. Let's see where this comment goes. You may want to see if you can find your comments in the expected place? You may want to try to look again at the comment trails and see what comments do not make sense in context, possibly because Substack put them in the wrong place. If this comment of mine goes anywhere but directly under the tree branch of your comment, Substack has made a placement mistake, and I have found that, once that mistake is made, no change of sorting will correct it. I also found that I can make something 3 comments and they all get handled correctly, and then, for whatever reason, the next comment goes to the wrong place.

I really want to see the Substack spruce code for how it assigns comment reply the array location and/or how the database assigns the interrelated sort indexes. From a programmer's perspective, this really seems nefarious to me.

PS [The following was added in an edit a few minutes after saving the initial reply]:

This reply, so far, appears to have gone to the right place, in the tree, nested under your comment.

Maybe, just maybe, doing what you suggested will fix this? Maybe the comment allocation code Substack is using for comment array and/or database index assignments is somehow handled better (and does not make sporadic mistakes) if the owner sets up comments to sort Chronologically. Even if that is so, I really want to see the Substack source code. None of this should have happened, why did is suddenly pop up for us here, ajnd why only us? I have made multiple comments on the Substack's of other authors and have only seen this happen in Solution Seeking Substack. Others Solution Seekers concur.

I will now save this to PDF. For future reference, and to allow me to get back here in a browser in the future, the URL of what I save is:

Here is one possible way to contact Substack Support. Maybe several squeaky wheels can get the grease? I am consider an ADDENDUM and pinned comment to invite others to also contact Substack Support.

Okay. Will do.

By the way, the comment with the links referred to in the comment in which I used the word "bollixed" temporarily shifted, not because of the current software/AI interference, but because of the 'normal' shifting that happens on substack when a comment is liked.

...in my opinion.

(This starts to get really confusing, really fast.)

The sorting does complicate the analysis of this issue. There are changes in comment location due to sorting. Sorting can be Top first, Chronological, or New First. But the comments that are sporadically assigned to the wrong place are our main problem here. This might be a time wasting, frustrating, confusing, vortex that could destroy us if we don't handle it properly? It is also a learning and team building opportunity if we handle it well. It is a test. We will have other tests.

Thank you and I agree. So far, this thread appears to be in the right place. If that changes, I think I can recreate it.

Oops, maybe I (wrote) too soon. Look at where this comment is please. Does it look like it is in the right place to you?

[Edited Jan 18 5:13 AM]

This comment is definitely out of place. I found it and labelled it.

[Reply to Brek 9:55 AM US Pacific time Jan. 19 2023]

I just got the email from Brek shown below. I am making this reply at 9:55 AM US Pacific time Jan. 19 2023. Substack will not let me see Brek's comment (shown below). When I click "Return to Thread" I cannot find his comment. So I am replying blind. This is not a workable platform for the kinds of reliable accurate comment reply placement we need.

Below in quotes is the text of the email Substack sent me, the email that got me here, wherever "here" is...

"

Brek replied to your comment on Did World War 1 End Due To Military Mutinies And People's Revolutions?.

This is in reply to a comment of yours that is clearly one of the ones being misplaced. (In case you have trouble locating, here's the direct link: https://solutionseeking.substack.com/p/did-world-war-1-end-due-to-military/comment/12002512 ) It doesn't fit the context of the thread's discussion in which it appears.

I found this comment at the very end of the Choronological sort of comments Jan 19 10:o1 US Pacific time. It looks like a new twist on the comment errors, where even the comments in substack emails are lost right at the stage where the victim uses the email to try to find the parent comment being replied to.

This has caused me to fall behind in the comment replies. This threatens to destroy this Solution Seeking Substack. What we are trying is challenging enough without this kind of needless idiotic challenge.

Substack has its stratically advantageous uses. But it is not the place for us to dialogue on and analyze solutions using comments. A few joined me on Gab, which appears set up to ensure religious divide and conquer turn some non Christians off. Suggestions please?

I believe this instance of confusion might've been my 'fault.' Sorry about that!

I recognize my comment--I deleted it almost immediately after posting, having the impulse that encouraging either of us to chase down these comment tree issues is a huge distraction and it might be better just to let go.

I should've had that impulse BEFORE clicking "Post"! Again, my apologies.

Anyway, you apparently can still read in substack's auto-mail what it was that I wrote and then immediately deleted. If there's any usefulness to what I wrote, it's still there.

Does substack NOT indicate to you in their auto-mail that the comment was deleted by the poster?

Very strange 'feature,' if not. (What's the point of notifying you of a deleted comment?)

Interesting. Thanks. I see no indication that the comment was deleted. This might be a future suggestion for Substack support or maybe you can open a ticket with Substack if you don't already have an active ticket? My understanding is that Substack wants only one open active support ticket per user and that they are busy, of I would open a new ticket about this now. I added emails I just received from Substack about the other issues here.
