Keeping Hope Alive in the Time of Lies

I have trouble with recordings on my Substack podcast, but I managed to upload this one! It’s a good day!

Here’s the first of my “inspirational essays” that I said I would start writing once a month. I barely got it in there, right at the end of May! Phew!

In the future, these essays will be for paid subscribers, however, for now I will make them available for everyone, since it’s a new thing. If you wish to support my writing, please consider becoming a paid subscriber. Thank you to those who have done so thus far!

A similar fate awaited the air forces of Jordan, Syria and Iraq. History Collection
