Dear Founding Member of the Digital Freedom Platform,

Thank you for stepping up and joining me to fight on the front lines for our most basic fundamental human right to Freedom of Speech.

Now is a critical time as we all bear witness to our civil liberties being eroded every day. We are under attack by dark and powerful forces that oftentimes disguise themselves as governments, regulators, and technology platforms.

But regardless of the enemy, make no mistake: we are in the midst of an Information War.

This is a war unlike anything we have ever seen in human history. It doesn’t require weapons, it doesn’t require armies, and it doesn’t result in immediate bloodshed. But make no mistake, just because it doesn’t resemble the classic version of a war, it is nonetheless just as dangerous.

And unlike conflicts of the past, this is a war being waged inside your own living room, inside your electronic devices, and inside your brain. And do you know the best part? You didn’t even know it was happening.

Until now.

The recent censorship of London Real has shown the world that Freedom of Speech is now an anachronism, a concept apparently lost in time that no longer has relevance. Our forefathers would be ashamed.

Today the digital social media platforms are the only modes of mass person-to-person communication, and now they are being systematically co-opted to become tools of censorship, intimidation, discreditation, and misinformation.

ALL OF THIS MUST STOP NOW.

Which is why we created the Digital Freedom Platform, a censorship free, independent broadcasting system, that is “Of the People, By the People, For the People.”

This is a response to our content being censored, banned and deleted by the trillion dollar Silicon Valley behemoths such as YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, Linkedin, Twitter, Dropbox, Vimeo, and many more.

Our initial crowdfunding campaign was a massive success, generating over $1 million thanks to the generous donations of over 27,000 of our Founding Members and true digital patriots. This made a clear statement to everyone watching: that the London Real Army will fight to ensure our human rights are NEVER AGAIN compromised.

Honestly the scope of the donations was completely humbling. I have never been a man to ask for help and in the entire nine year history of London Real. I never asked for a single dollar of donations. I always believed I should and could do it alone.

But I was wrong. We can only wage this war together.

We all know that“with great power comes great responsibility” and I feel that weight on my shoulders. I wake up knowing that every single day I must fight for our collective freedoms and I take this duty very, very seriously.

Below I have outlined the expenditure plans for our first round of fundraising broken down into the Five Phases. I have also added an additional Phase Six as an ongoing monthly fundraise to allow us to create an entire team of designers, developers, lawyers, and publishers to TAKE THIS FIGHT TO THE ENEMY.

I don’t believe in playing small. It doesn’t work and the enemy doesn’t respect it. In order to win this battle, and that is the ONLY option, I plan to build an infrastructure unseen before in a digital new media startup.

But let me warn you: this war is not for everyone. It takes courage and strength and trust.

Among us there will be naysayers, critics, and controlled opposition.

I guarantee these forces will be deceptive, divisive, and disruptive.

So my advice to you is simple:

DO NOT CONTRIBUTE TO THIS PLATFORM IF YOU DO NOT TRUST ME AND OUR MISSION.

If you choose to become a Founding Member then you must be all in, and support the decisions we make behind the scenes to fight for freedom. Oftentimes we cannot disclose our plans or they will be thwarted by the powerful forces working against us. I’m asking you to trust us and the process and we will deliver.

And if you are one of those individuals who chooses not to support us in this fight that is fine. We will fight for your freedom regardless, and perhaps one day in the future you will thank us.

I want to finish by extending my gratitude to each and every one of you for sacrificing so much to help us spread the truth, to fight for our fundamental human right of Freedom of Speech, and for supporting our message in the face of such strong opposition.

I promise you, we will prevail.

To our freedom,

Brian.
