BREAKING: The Parnas Perspective is the Number One News Substack in the Entire World

I’m still trying to process this, but here it is — we are now the number one news Substack in the world.

Not in our niche. Not in our country. Not among independents. In. The. World.

Three months ago, this didn’t exist. There was no team. No funding. No billionaire backing us. No advertising deals. No corporate safety net. Just me, a laptop, a fire in my chest, and a deep belief that journalism could still mean something.

And then there was you.

You showed up. You subscribed. You read. You shared. You pushed back against the noise and said: we want truth, not spin. You chose to believe in this little experiment in independent journalism — and now we’re here.

Let’s be clear about what this moment means:

We built the #1 news Substack in the world with zero corporate dollars.
We did it without ads, without clickbait, and without compromise.
We did it without any permission from the gatekeepers.

And we did it together.

This is not just about me. This is about a movement. A hunger. A refusal to settle for the packaged narratives we’re sold every day.

We are redefining what media looks like.
We are proving that truth still matters.
We are building something no one can buy, censor, or spin.

So today, I just want to say: thank you.

Thank you for believing in this work.
Thank you for making it possible.
Thank you for standing with me.

The road ahead is long — and we’ve only just begun. But if this is what we’ve built in three months, imagine what’s coming next.

Let’s keep going. Let’s grow even bigger. Let’s keep breaking the mold.

With gratitude,
Aaron
