Wonderful! Thank you for sharing all that about your fascinating background and experience that led you to do what you are doing today! And we are all the better for it.

I find that some of the finest journalists working out there never intended to become such, and did not go thru formal "journalism school" -- just like another fine independent reporter, Vanessa Beeley!

So glad to finally see you in these parts, Patrick! (Oh, and love the photograph!)

My twin daughters each got their Bachelors in OR & Masters overseas, 1 in Norway, 1 in Paris. They've also lived in quite a few different countries for 20 yrs, including countries I'd never heard of before. So glad 1 daughter is not still living in countries in the Middle East, where she spent 4 yrs- 1 yr in Kabul in the OR National Guard, which I have a whole different outlook on now, & not favorable.

I follow you on X & on your programs because you are an educator and I am a student at the age of 65. I have a lot to learn, but I've also learned a lot. Real education is key. Researching for ourselves is a must. Biggest eye-opener is how much we've been gaslighted by people we thought were 'the good guys'.

Thank you, Patrick. I may have been hoodwinked in the past, but I'm awake & learning the truth now.

Don't need to know any of the details about this guy as I've read and/or listened to his work for years and count him as a friend.

This guy is the real deal and operates not just from his intellectual capacities but also from a deep well of compassion.

If we lived in a sane world he would be more widely recognized for the extraordinary journalist he is and the astute geopolitical observer that he is.

Please take care of yourself amidst the maelstrom Patrick. All the best- MB.

Thank you Patrick - I really enjoyed reading “a bit” more about you - having followed you for quite some while now, it’s great to hear a little more about Patrick Henningsen the person - and what has brought you here in life to this point. Just to say thank you for all you do to bring us information and analysis!

Substack is Infinitely better now! Welcome! Now you will have even less free time, but, in exchange, more allies, friends and fans! Love that you are also a photographer!

Hi Patrick great to see you on Substack. I remember seeing you first on RT standing amongst the rubble in Syria. Then saw you on UKC, everywhere I watched you seemed to appear. Alternative View, Al Jezzera, Didn't see you in London marching against the Iraq war, but there was one million of us. Finally got to meet you in 2023, three times in the same year. Are you stalking me ? LOL Looking forward to reading what you write about on here. Take Care of yourself Love Little Carol xxx

Hey Patrick,

you’ve led an incredibly fascinating and fearless journey—one that’s clearly shaped by a deep commitment to truth, free speech, and independent journalism. I’ve really enjoyed hearing you speak across interviews on X and other platforms—your insight and clarity always cut through the noise. Looking forward to continuing to follow your work and the thought-provoking content you share. Keep pushing the envelope.

Substack will not upgrade you to paid even though it's one click for me to add others.. yours gets an error message that payment method is invalid despite years of other monthly subscriptions processed.. maybe check with Substack to see why it's throttled!

Maybe doublecheck to see logged in with the correct email address associated with the subscription, if not, may need to update your account information. That's what the chat bot just told me!

What a wonderful introduction, Patrick! I don't remember seeing anything else quite like it when signing up to an account on here, so it's much appreciated.

I've followed your work for many years, and value it tremendously, so am wishing you a brilliant and fruitful time on this platform.

Cheers,

Steve
