Paul’s Substack

By Paul Wittenberger

Once upon a time, I discovered I had many voices in my head and I needed a place to put them—then Substack came along. "To suggest is to create, to name is to destroy." —Stéphane Mallarmé

He is a talented poet, and I enjoy his poems very much.

Clement’s Newsletter

By Clement Charles

Words of Action

I thank Clement's Newsletter for recommendation of my Substack, but had I understood correctly that this Substack supports Dugin's philosophy and Putin's ultranationalistic policy of his Youth organization? My memoir Wrong Country is about the Soviet political system's criminality and Putin's continuation of this system with the support of Dugin.
