“Until they become conscious they will never rebel, and until after they have rebelled they cannot become conscious.” ― George Orwell, 1984
I wanted to let everyone know about some changes I’ve made to protect myself and the site from the Marxists now in charge of the country. You will see in the donation boxes that donations are now going to Burning Platform LLC. I haven’t sold out and gone corporate. I went through all the hoops, paperwork and considerable cost to create a separate legal entity called Burning Platform LLC in order to shield my personal assets from assault by the cancel culture social justice warriors who will surely come after me in the near future.
Page views in January were 45% higher than the previous January. As more people have lost their free speech rights on Twitter, Facebook and even places like Zero Hedge, they are gravitating to TBP. We’ve been under the radar for the last decade, but as the truth keeps being spoken on this site, they will come for me. The easiest way to shut me down would be to use the legal system to bankrupt me. Therefore, I thought it was prudent to try and put a layer of protection between the site and me personally. And now my name does not appear anywhere on the site. Nothing else will change.

Good idea.

DeSantis told Dr. Fauci he trusted his own state health authorities over financially incentivized federal officials.
“How much do you stand to earn from these vaccines, Dr. Fauci? And, Joe, if you continue with this course of action, I will authorize the state National Guard to protect the movement of Floridians,” DeSantis said.
“Address me as Mr. President or President Biden,” Biden said.
“I will not, and you can go fuck yourself,” DeSantis said before hanging up.
If true thats good news…
In Montana you only fill out a form (something about name acceptance/copying etc) and pay approximately $25/ year for a LLC. All online.
Our previous company was a S Corp and LLC are much easier.
Absofinglutely! This should be interesting.
Amazingly, there are no leaks of private calls?
Go figure.
And like Guest, WV partnerships, S-Corps or LLC are a simple form filed with SOS office and a couple hundred bucks and small yearly renewal.
…And from now on we can just address Admin as Mr. Smith or sir.
I think Admin works!
There’s no way that’s true. Unlike Trump, DeSantis is an actual politician, so he understands that 1) the president (even an illegitimate president) has tremendous power to afflict Florida’s citizens 2) stuff you say – no matter how enjoyable people find it – can come back to haunt you.
If Trump had had more message discipline, it’s possible he could have accomplished more of the nationalist goals that his supporters shared. Smart liberals (those few) see DeSantis as a greater danger than Trump precisely because he’s smart enough to play the game the way you have to. He went to Harvard Law.
I know. Our new king punched out a media person awhile back, remember? Only reason I voted for him. He’s been somewhat disappointing so far. We’ll see.
However I am going to be happy, for one week, our mask mandate is over. Yay!!!
Message discipline? Sort of like George W. Shrub?
DeSantis for President 2024… I can see the bumper stickers already
No dyed in the wool, anti corruption, non Progressive GOP nominee will ever come to fruition. The GOP will fight the hardest against it. Besides, there is no one anyone can name that could withstand the hurricane Trump endured for even a week. They wouldn’t even try: Dole, Bush, Bush, McCain, Romney…
Doesn’t work that way; you are still Asshole to a large percentage of the country.
Admin: I an a former Middletown PA resident – remember TMI, Three Mile Island? I currently live in Moldova, Eastern Europe. Thank you for your site.
That is exactly why LLCs are used, for legal protection. I was surprised you hadn’t done that already.
I was lazy.
I was lazy.
Well, thank God you’re intelligent and capable of seeing the writing on the wall. At the rate things are going pretty soon the only things we’ll be allowed to do on the internet is shop online at Amazon and Walmart.
Also at the rate things are going, soon the law will be whatever suits the Marxists, for both civil and criminal law. We are all terrorists now…
Corporate structures aren’t perfect; they can be pierced, but it is still a good move. Either way Admin has iron balls. It’s good that the LLC has a PO Box. Better than credit-card-only. I do not have iron balls.
Got your generous donation today. Thanks.
Your email still has your last name …
Also, I’m assuming you would prefer for us to stop referring to your first name and/or surname in posts?
I’m not worried about my name being used. Every article ever posted on Zero Hedge has my name.
Remember when old Finnegan’s Wake looked you up and revealed to the world you were a shock jock! That was a good five years ago, at least, I think.
Sally forth Larry, you are doing a fine job.
Stucky could have sent you an email advising you of such in lieu of mentioning it in these comments.
Prudent move. To further the thought I hope you and TMWNN are/have considered how to continue or migrate the site if the inevitable attack is successful in taking it down.
I, for one, would want to know where to go to follow your efforts. Any plans to share?
Good move, Admin.
LOL… Admin is being forced kicking and screaming into the mainstream.
If you wish, and send me an e-mail, I have a couple of comments on legal issues in case you have not considered them.
Smart… Well done sir
I think your site update is worth a donation from myself and any of the many who depend upon your site to get a good idea of what is worth our attending to in a world gone completely bumfucknuts.
Thanks for what you do and for the real devotion to real principles you demonstrate. I have not been here from the beginning, but started reading your articles on other sites until I started bickering with a couple of regulars and became fascinated with the backstory.
Perhaps RiNS will stop seeing how many downvotes he can get for his blasphemy and decide to write a decent ballad about the epic saga of TBP.
Admin didn’t ask but a donation would help the site. I’m all for it!
Hear here!
Thank you, godspeed, I will send some fake money via Satan’s minions next week.
I could send crypto if desired.
Incorporating is an excellent idea, Admin.
It’s not a matter of ‘if’ but ‘when’ the Leftards attack.
Nicely done…best to always stay one step ahead of these LP SJW trolls.
Harrumph.
Sounds sensible.
Nothing wrong with protecting yourself with the laws they enacted to protect themselves. If the law is there, you can use it.
And, you know Admin is correct that now that other sites are subscription only, more and more readers, commenters and, sigh, trolls and troublemakers will be hanging around, trying to create problems.
Is why I am encouraging folks to pony up to the donation meter if they can. Let’s get ahead of the censorship and give Admin some dollars for his efforts here!
Very sage counsel. And “and even places like Zero Hedge…” Yeah but Tyler will spot you claimed add’l free speech posting rights for a nominal subscription fee starting at $300 paid annually. Google and Tyler are da Bomb! ;0

Good job, Admin. I think you should list the site on the stock exchange or sell shares. I would buy a few. Maybe raise enough capital to work this sucker full time.
Thats PHOTOSHOPPED, orrr a bunch of LAZY FARTS working for the Chi-Coms!!!
Might not be a bad idea to LLC ones self.
Your honor, that statement, however factual was made by my LLC likeness.
Very smart move there, Larry.
