This Thomas Paine (True Pundit), has consistently provided good intel, typically information otherwise purposely buried and/or ignored by the fake news, and has a boatload of insiders providing information that otherwise wouldn't see the light of day. To the best of my knowledge he's also never been accused of burning a source.

That he may have some premium account where he charges a fee, so fucking what. Don't subscribe then, I never have and I am still grateful for his work. If you haven't noticed, risking your life exposing corruption as a real journalist isn't exactly a lucrative profession. To the best of my knowledge, he's not stealing millions with some scam like most connected to DC. Go back and blow Anderson Pooper at his multi-million condo if you're so butt-hurt.
