Hello everyone, it's Sunday. We have had this tropical storm here in Southwest Florida. And this is another yet another unplanned video segment for my community members at NewsBud and Patreon. And this is not about politics, this is not about geopolitics. I have been receiving so many questions that fall within this category of personal information. Initially, my reaction to these types of questions was, well, I have2/10
two separate life. It's my work life, my activism life, and on the other side, it's my personal life, okay? And I have, for the past 20 years, I have been keeping these two tracks completely separate, okay? And but with that said, and again, emphasizing that I very much so value people keeping their personal private lives private, I can understand. I do understand the curiosity, okay? And3/10
I don't think that there is anything wrong with it. And I decided, for the first time ever, to address some of these questions, okay, in queries. And in order to do that, I have been compiling all these questions that I have been receiving in the past six months. And I selected about seven, eight questions that seemed to be the repeated theme. So people may be asking4/10
them using different phrases or words, but pretty much they are asking about the same thing. So here it is, very casual, maybe even something that may end up being disastrous. I'm not sure. But I'm not sure if it's going to be unedited because I don't have the time. And I wanted to be dishonest, open, hard to hard chat about your curiosities, about certain things that I5/10
have not really spoken about, talked about publicly. And I'm not sure if I'm solving too much into my private family lives. I'm going to try to satisfy hopefully some of those questions, some of you who have had this, I guess, intense curiosity about certain aspects of my non-pop-like life. Now, within this category, even though this is not going to be really work-related, news-butt-related, I will be6/10
talking about the recent changes at news-butt. And this change started occurring about a year ago. And I believe, especially for my news-butt community members, I owe them this explanation of why certain changes have been made, what brought about those decisions to make these changes, and give a little bit of background overview on that. I know it's been long-due, and I'm doing it right now. And during7/10
this segment, I'm going to talk about that as well. Some of you may know that I was away for two years. I was living this ex-fat life in Turkey. We moved there in August 2018. And we came back to the United States on May 16, only four months ago or so. So let's begin. This is again for my community members, because I really don't owe any8/10
kind of answers or explanations for anyone outside my communities. And I guess that is self-explanatory. I don't have to explain that further. This is the community that has been supporting my work. At least several thousand members at News-butt, they have been with me since 2008, 2009, when I launched oiling frogs post with my exclusive podcast programs. And actually, in some ways, I'm looking forward to connecting9/10
with you in this non-political, non-geopolitical, personal, unedited, unplugged segment. And I'm looking forward to receiving your feedback from News-butt, from Patreon. And now let's tune in. Here it is. I have a print of this questions that I have compiled from you. And let's talk about all those. I may start a little bit stiff, but bear with me as you know me, those of you who know10/10
me. I usually get to warm up and kind of chill and get more relaxed as I get going and I start talking. Again, this is the first time for me, and I totally appreciate you being so understanding about maybe the initial reluctance of talking fluently about these topics. Thank you all, and let's begin.
