FULCRUM News Is Now 2,058 Days Old
Wow- how time flies. What did we get right, and wrong, over the years? Crypto came in. The WikiLeaks turned out to be a dud. Assange got destroyed, pizzaheads buried the subject forever. But we won.
We registered FULCRUMNews.com and launched back around January 22, 2017, making our community 2,058 days old at this point.
Slightly over 5 and a half years!
To be certain, about two of those years were yielded to the COVIDpocalypse time suck that disrupted life for all of us — the lockdowns, the extended uncertainty, the not traveling usually as I always used to.
The pandemic has affected our perception of age; everyone is carrying 2 extra years of biological age they don’t feel necessarily in terms of experience… because many didn’t have much in the way of positive or intentionally exciting experiences during these last 2 years.
Yet our site continued publishing throughout the pandemic, we never lost our voice nor our way.
The FULCRUM News podcast is slowed down a bit, we have nothing to prove anymore… but it will remain a platform for the occasional extended research / analysis podcast, or the interesting interview or two with old friends to see where they are now.
Cryptocurrency came in, spectacularly so.
If I could do things over again, I would have never covered those WikiLeaks emails — the world didn’t understand what was in those emails, and probably never will. It cost me years of professional growth and a lot of valuable acquaintances wrote me off after that, but to this day, I don’t think people understood what those emails were about or the significance.
Lost to the deep forever, that topic is.
In a post-pandemic world, FULCRUM will find continued value interviewing intriguing people, explaining complex concepts to smart people, and covering the peer-to-peer currency revolution now underway.
Bitcoin was the entree, Ethereum was the dessert, and all that MAGA faux populism crapola people tried to suck our brand into (but thankfully failed to do so!) turned out to be an absolute waste of time. A waste of time, and in retrospect a kind of mass fraud perpetrated on us all in the truth community.
When I think about how Orange Blob has lowered his drawers to shit on crypto, or how he’s behind the most disastrous vaccine of all time, or the botched containment of COVID itself … when I think of the squandered opportunity that his administration represented, it just blows my mind.
At least crypto came in.
Otherwise today’s world would be too bleak for the careful observer of our gradually decaying republic.
Yet it’s not bleak at all — and out of the bowels of the decaying world will come something original, and individualistic, in ways we can’t yet perceive well.

Here’s to another 5 years of challenging people who are simply wrong, and furthering ideas that are simply worthwhile.
Thanks everyone :)
