I’m a delivery driver for one of the 3 big delivery companies (fed ex ups Amazon) and I work in Oswego County where this is located. I’ve done just about every route in the area, if you live in Oswego and order from Amazon, I’ve probably knocked on your front door before.
I’m not from the area originally, and when I started delivering out there, I was honestly shocked by some of the extreme poverty you find in the deep corners of the country that surround the city. Trailer parks with every roof covered in tarps because the people who own it don’t have the money to replace the roof. Cars that are more rust than steel. And the people who live in these dilapidated trailers and old farm houses often answer the door with pale skin bloodshot eyes twitching from whatever substance is destroying them.
Fulton is a great example of a small city 10 minutes from Oswego that used to host a giant Nestlé factory, now the factory moved overseas and the whole landscape is just abandoned warehouses surrounded by desperate people and crumbling infrastructure
I remember when I first started, I had to learn to not sheet houses as “can’t deliver, vacant” because early on I did just that only to find out that there was an old lady living in this trailer that, I thought, there was absolutely no chance a human could be living in
Here’s a good article about the crushing despair that surrounds the area it’s really brutal to see every day
So anyway, thanks for looking out for my neck of the woods DC we certainly need it. And if anybody’s thinking about donating, you can take it from me that it’s going to good church going God-fearing people, even if they are struggling with substance abuse, and lack of economic opportunity.
Has the fact that the entire country launches fireworks in celebration of your birthday ever gotten to your head? I imagine it’s hard to stay humble with while having such status.
By the way, Darryl — if you ever overcome your shyness, you should consider doing a tour around the country so people can meet you in person. I live in Austin, so I’m hoping you eventually make your way here.
Every year I keep thinking how you must have planned your birthday to be on the 4th of July. Clever move, dude! Cold beers, sizzling burgers, family and friends, fireworks, etc, etc. across the country.
Also called intimidation, bribery, extortion and down right meanness. Shame on you, denying desperate people just so you can satisfy your pleasure. You don’t deserve Darryl.
Happy Birthday, Darryl! Will send in a contribution in honor of your next spin around the sun. Sure wish I had known about Kristina's House of Hope earlier. Although she hid her disease quite well—our family had thought she had been sober for decades—my sister died last year of just such circumstances. Ironically, she lived only an hour away....Perhaps she would have been helped had she been aware of this sanctuary. Thanks for your courage in voicing perspectives many of us suscribers seem to have in common.

I had no idea they were that close. My county borders Oswego. Might just skip all this fancy online money shuffling and leave cash in their mailbox.

Happy Birthday! I donated what I could — you're doing incredibly important work.
You, Judge Napolitano, and Glenn Greenwald are among the few voices I truly respect and follow closely. Keep it up.
I'd include Whitney Webb in that distinguished company.

I second that!
To another year round the Sun. Long May You Roam Darryl Cooper. May your voice that carries the goodness of your heart travel ever further...⚘️🕊🗡

Have yourself a very happy birthday!
Hi Darryl,
Yes, you do have some balls to ask your subscribers to contribute to your local women's shelter in honor of your birthday.
Since you have been beyond tardy in getting your WW2 podcast out to us, I say, I will contribute when the podcast is dropped. It's called leverage.
The faster and better you get the job done, the bigger my contribution will be.
BTW, a very happy burthday 🎭
to you!
Ha, fair enough.
Also called intimidation, bribery, extortion and down right meanness. Shame on you, denying desperate people just so you can satisfy your pleasure. You don’t deserve Darryl.
Gosh Marjorie: just chill.
Man, the struggle sessions when Cooper finally gets this cult off the ground are gonna be intense.
I want it now.
Sent some sats, happy birthday Darryl
Darryl. you are such a sweetie.
Thanks for including a bitcoin donation address 💪
Thanks for all you do!
Mr Cooper, Sir!
Very happy to contribute something, even without the new podcast lol. I owe you big time for the work you have put in thus far- I am much inspired!
Thank you for all of it, and thank you for telling us about KHOH.
Truly ❤️God’s work.
Happy birthday Darryl, I hope it was a good one! And such a great cause to raise awareness toward.
