A Free and Independent Press undergirds all other freedoms in this country. It is important that we keep small independent newspapers and press rooms alive!

Happy 5th Anniversary to The Standard!

For the past month we have been on the “blink” so they say. We haven’t been as active on the website due to more work than we can keep up with, and quite frankly not enough people or funds to hire the necessary personnel to get it done. Like any other operation or business we must have capital to keep the lights turned on, pay for expenses, buy equipment, hire and pay associates, do research, hire people to do computer and post up work, and general personnel to get things done.

In the past we have exposed many evil agendas and made our readers aware before they got out of hand. Issues like proposed homosexual adoption of children, Critical Race Theory in local schools, LGBTQP+ Agenda in Public Schools, Birth of Cultural Marxism, Judge Releases Audit Report, CDC Admits Vaccines Contain Aborted Human Fetus Cells, Billionaire motives for pushing transgender surgeries, Waco Massacre and Holocaust 30 Years Later, and many other issues exposed. Just know we call a spade a spade.

Even before we started exposing China’s CCP virus, and their plan to wage bio-warfare on the US, along with vaccine deaths and that Funeral Embalmers reveal 85% of Dead Bodies Now Have Strange Blood Clots Since COVID Vaccine Roll-outs, we were under attack. Part of that attack focused on having difficulty keeping our payment processor fully functioning and totally operational. We have since changed our payment and donation processor to Square. We believe that will help all donations actually go through now. For those who have attempted to donate and have been denied, please try it again and report back to us—we need your support now more than ever, please donate! Square is already proving to be a great improvement!

Just know there are those who do not want The Standard to continue revealing the darkness they wish to keep dark! We have had attacks on our website in an attempt to shut down our exposure of their nefarious behavior to American citizens! We have been attacked with SLAPP lawsuits trying to intimidate us and prevent us from exposing their evil and nefarious intents and plans. We have been censored by internet providers, social media and YouTube. We have even had death threats due to what we write! Exposing the darkness can be a dangerous work!

In case you didn’t know, this writer, this website and our print newspaper are totally and thoroughly America First! We will not kowtow to foreign or domestic entities who seek to bully us or intimidate us! We will not cater to those who seek to overthrow this country! Not going to happen! We will Fight Back! And we urge you to Fight Back! Always resist bullies, tyrants and tyranny from the very beginning! The American oath is to “protect and defend America from all enemies both foreign and domestic, so help me God.” That we will do!

Our survival as a country depends on solid information to the people so you can make important decisions for you and your family. Our news stories are reprinted all over the world and read by people just like you.

Some media outlets provide only shallow feel good stories, what I call ‘fluff not real stuff’, or clickbait and hot takes, because that’s what’s cheapest and most profitable for most outlets to produce. Well, that’s NOT what we do at The Standard, and I suspect that’s not the kind of journalism that you want either.

I don’t like asking for money, but this is important: The Standard needs your support now more than ever so we can continue to provide you with rock solid information that makes a difference! Research and printing costs have exploded over the past two years! Unlike many media outlets which already have big donors and budgets, and who have chosen to erect paywalls to see their content, we still provide our content freely, and we will do so as long as possible. But, that’s why we must rely heavily on donors who pledge a small amount of money each month to sustain our work. This provides us with a base of support so we can report on news of vital interest to you our reader, news that makes a difference in our community at large.

Our goal is to add 1,000 more donors in June who will commit to a monthly donation. It’s a challenging goal, but it’s what’s necessary to thrive in today’s challenging media environment. That monthly donation could be as:

  • Student sponsor for $10/month,
  • Friend sponsor for $25/month,
  • Patron for $100/month,
  • Contender for $250/month
  • Champion for $1000/month

Or you may donate any other amount. All we ask is that you be one of our 1000 and donate monthly. And, yes, you can make a one time donation too! Ask your friends and family to support too!

The question is: Will you join this thoughtful community to help sustain The Standard by starting a monthly donation today? We need you now to help us continue to provide news you want and need to be aware of the times we live in.

Please keep The Standard and our writers in your prayers, and please donate and support The Standard!

 

Michael Reed is Publisher of The Standard newspaper, print and online. You may find our videos available on Rumble. The bulk of TheStandardSC video media channel has been censored by dominant social media groups like YouTube. YouTube, owed by Alphabet (Google), removed and destroyed all of our video work without permission or remuneration. That has stopped all potential donations from our many supporters on that venue. If you want to continue to see independent thought and reports please “like”, comment, share with a friend, and donate to support The Standard on this page to assure the continued availability of news that is ignored too often by the dominant media.
