One hell of a wake up call..glad you are OK! Thanks for the really informative and insightful article. From Ketchum, to BOMA to Ukraine - you sure are covering a lot of ground Perry. Thanks very much for all you are doing to make our little town - and the world, a better place! And thanks for The Sun - which continues to expand my thinking.

Be SAFE and happy holidays!

Pleased you are applying your considerable talents and energy to helping bend the arc of the moral universe toward global justice and away from the malicious intentions of those clinging desperately to power at war against the will of the people. Everything is connected and inseparable. South Korea and Syria ain't havin' none of it, and I sense a flow is developing that will have tyranny on the run soon. Political movements predicated on racism and xenophobia and motivated by greed will soon rot in the light of freedom and democracy. Thanks for all the sunlight you have brought to accelerate the decay of associated injustices, Perry. Well done!

Incredible front-line reporting. Still can’t believe we receive this through a local substack. Thank you for bringing the outside world in to this isolated island that is the valley.

Perry, I venture to say that if you're not already corresponding with Edward Fishman, doing so is unlikely to be a waste of your time.

Have a look at his palmares regarding his experience:

You guys are doing the Lord's work there. I can't believe our country is losing the resolve to see this through.

It is terrifying to me that NATO won't stand up to Russia. The cost of losing Ukraine is so much greater than defeating Russia. It's like no one is in charge. Ugh.

I think the European part of NATO will try all to hold up their end, I'm personally worried about new administration here and deepening attitude of isolation.
