Thanks for another piece of great journalism. If you have the time or inclination, I'm curious how Peter Halligan is so prolific as a citizen journalist, compared with many others I follow. Even allowing for a lot of reposts, that is still a hefty chunk of information to consume and analyze!

Over the years I have subscribed to quality sites and scan news aggregator sites that have intelligent editors.

I also access official government and reputable data sites, sites of regulators and follow closely those with quality who I judge to (consciously or unconsciously) adhere to the ancient roman of virtue and excellence.

I insert my "baggage" but most of my articles - (except a few extracting data from primary government sources such as the analysis of US government spending on EcoHealth Alliance and Moderna by government department or US mortality data over time by cause of death) are sourced from the internet and personal emails from friends and contcts - including SubStack subscribers.

On short, anyone can get the information and I cite sources where I have used them.

Now I feel tired after realising from your comment I have posted almost 2,000 articles in a year with only my birthday and the day after to party! haha.

Thanks for sharing all this. I doubt i'm alone in finding your 'baggage' of thoughts and opinions insightful and enjoyable.

Yep, it's always the same, poor people in rich countries giving to the rich people in rich countries.

Same happening in Australia no doubt. PM Albanese & BG are close buddies apparently.
