Truth Under Siege

We’re going subscription-only. Support fearless journalism, unlock exclusive investigations exposing political corruption, assassination plots, and foreign interference. Act now, truth needs you.

Important Announcement to Our Valued Readers:

Starting April 7, 2025, Gunpowder Chronicles will transition exclusively to subscription-based access, available as either a free or paid subscription.

To mark this significant shift and celebrate a personal milestone, the 10-year anniversary of making Britain my permanent home, I’m offering a special 15% discount for all paid subscriptions activated before April 14.

Gunpowder Chronicles, a fiercely independent London-based platform powered by VX Media, is dedicated to revealing the truths behind global affairs, national security, and foreign policies.

My investigative¹ work has shed critical light on political corruption, disinformation, and foreign interference, from exposing figures such as Gabriel Escobar², Miroslav Lajcak³, Edi Rama⁴, and Berat Buzhala⁵, to revealing Richard Grenell's ties to Russian operatives⁶, which caused significant political fallout in Washington, and uncovering plots aimed at subverting Kosovo’s democracy and assassinating⁷ a sitting Prime Minister.

Our commitment to fearless journalism has not been without repercussions. We've faced targeted cyberattacks and punitive sanctions, significantly impacting our subscriber community. Despite these challenges, our resolve remains unshaken, but financial realities compel us to seek your support.

Screenshot 1: Our subscriber numbers reflect the intensity of the attacks we've faced: currently standing at 20 paid subscribers and a total of 627 subscribers—down by 23,057 subscribers compared to the previous 30 days. Our content views have also suffered significantly, showing a sharp decline of 38,854 views in the same period. Screenshot 2: The financial toll is clear: our gross annualised revenue remains static at $1,126, highlighting the urgent need for your support. Despite these setbacks, we've seen slight growth via our app subscriptions up by 8 subscribers. Our email open rate has also improved by 1.08%, reinforcing the continued commitment and engagement of our core audience.

Upgrade today, take advantage of this limited-time offer and ensure uninterrupted access to our groundbreaking investigations. Our most critical exposé yet arrives this April, and you won't want to miss it.

Thank you for standing with us in pursuit of truth and accountability.
