That's a more powerful superhero lineup than Avengers Endgame. God bless them all.

Fantastic compilation, comrade. Novak Djokovic should be on this list too. And don't forget Yuri Bezmenov, the ultimate dissident ;) Did you work on any of these demoralized ads? https://yuribezmenov.substack.com/p/how-to-advertise

Excellent. I recently discovered Whitney Webb. Thank you for recognizing all these brave souls. I would also include the former NBA player Enes Kantor Freedom. I'm sure there are tons that aren't included but he, too, has sacrificed his career for his strong stance against the CCP.

yes, so true... and worthy for sure... I realized at a certain point that so many would be neglected. Ultimately, I opted to focus on those who I had been impacted by the most... everyone's list would be different, of course... but the important part is that we start celebrating these people

Thanks Yuri! Yes, Novak is a true hero! I just followed you, btw. Excellent woke ad compilation. And did I make any of them? NEVER! Great to meet you.

Thank you for this descriptive list. I suspect that most of us had our own path over these past few years, perhaps including most of these powerful voices, and probably adding many others, some of whom are unknown by name other than an online handle—El Gato Malo, Ethical Skeptic, etc. Many of us have felt adrift, having left the shores of a previous belief system, or ideology. But these leaders have held lights aloft on the path forward, and helped show how to be courageous and stand upright. Thanks, one and all.

Great list!

Wish you could have included the bad cat, El Gato Malo.

I enjoyed reading your run down of warriors. Most of them I know well. Some need more attention. These, and other unmentioned free thinkers need to be highlighted in their good fight for humanity.

That's a darn good list. Been listening to all for a few years now. Thanks.

Thanks... and those were just what I pulled from my head... the list is actually so much deeper. This has been the ultimate hoax... it fooled me in the beginning because I couldn't imagine anyone would ever go to this length to gain power... but clearly, at the very least, the "pandemic" has been exploited to the hilt... if not intentionally done... either way, it's a disaster and also, an indictment against governments who are incompetent in the extreme, but who instead, would have us give them more power, not less
