Courtesy of Space Foundation These days, it seems no one is safe from cancel culture, not even the long-dead heroes of the 1960s space race.
Space News reported that Space Foundation had announced in a now-deleted note that “in light of current world events” it would change the name of its fundraising event from “Yuri’s Night” to “A Celebration of Space: Discover What’s Next.” The annual event is to be held at its April Space Symposium conference in Colorado Springs, Colo. Space Foundation describes itself as “a nonprofit advocate organization founded in 1983, offering a gateway to education, information and collaboration for space exploration and space-inspired industries that define the global space ecosystem.” Apparently, its information and advocacy ridiculously only extend so far as what’s acceptable in the present-day politically-charged atmosphere. That’s a curious restrictive political stance for a nonprofit to take considering its supposedly apolitical goal to be educational and informational. For the record, according to Space Foundation’s own website (that has yet to be scrubbed), “Yuri Alekseyevich Gagarin, known all around the globe as Yuri Gagarin, was a Soviet cosmonaut, and the man who achieved what was at the time the biggest milestone in the Space Race: the first human to explore outer space.” Did you notice that? Gagarin was a Soviet citizen, not a Russian. Why then does it appear that Space Foundation decided to cancel him in support of Ukraine (and, in turn, in opposition to the Russian invasion)?
As a pre-teen child in German-occupied Soviet territory, Gagarin “became a saboteur, carrying out small but effective interference work such as mixing chemicals meant for maintenance of the Nazi tanks” and working on a farm until “the Germans were finally routed out of Klushino by The Red Army on Yuri’s tenth birthday, March 9, 1944.” Does that […]
Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
