Overview Of Each Platform/Site:

FREE: Defcon Level Main Website - Our free alerts website. Note that paid subscribers see a lot more information than what’s shown for free.

The Standeford Journal And Patreon platforms have more intel and informational ‘meat’ while Defcon Alerts platform is more meant to get out immediate alerts.

FREE/PAID: Defcon Level- Geared toward initial alerts. Contains some of the more immediately important news and intel updates. Initial alerts are usually posted to this platform before being sent out to The Standeford Journal as a complete news article but as they are initial alerts they often do not contain as much information and intel as the news articles on The Standeford Journal. Paid subscribers see a lot more information on both platforms.
FREE/PAID: The Standeford Journal News And Intel Platform - Geared toward news releases and intel updates. Contains geopolitical and non-geopolitical news that isn’t included on the Defcon Alerts platform. This platform usually contains more complete articles than Defcon Alerts and can contain a great deal more information, images, videos, documents, and intel. Paid subscribers see a lot more information. Paid subscribers see a lot more information on both platforms.
PAID: Patreon Alerts/Intel Updates - Contains all geopolitical intel, alerts, and news in one platform. Article layout isn’t as nice as the other two platforms, but if you want to subscribe to just one platform this is the way to go. The highest tier contains intel not included on the other platforms. May not contain some non-geopolitical related news posted on The Standeford Journal.

Not sure which to get? Try both Substack Platforms out. You can even subscribe to both platforms at the same time to get all alerts, news, and intelligence updates.

On A Tight Budget? Although paid gets access to more information, If you’re strapped for cash you can always subscribe to the free version of Defcon Alerts to receive instant alerts and the paid version of The Standeford Journal so you can see the in-depth news and intel. All alerts on this platform are now sent to free users as well as paid.

Why Pay For A Subscription?

Paid subscribers have access to much more news, intel, and information than free subscribers do.

We also believe news and intel should be about information, not indoctrination. It’s not our job to tell readers what to think, we believe each person should be able to decide that on their own. As such, we give straight news and intel.

Independent News And Intel

The alerts, intel and news found on our platforms are completely independent of any government, political, or any other third-party agencies. This means any information we put out there is free from being controlled by third parties. Read on to see how we evaluate our information:

Owner Donald Standeford: “While I try to put important information out there for free, I spend nearly every waking hour researching, monitoring, and writing. This is a full-time job for me, and what I do, and the value you receive is worth a few bucks subscription fee.

I'm an American traveler living in a small tribal village. When I first started doing this I was making often less than a dollar a day and could barely afford rice for my wife and son with ad revenue from my alerts website. I’ve come a long way since then and am now running The Standeford Journal where most of my alerts are also posted, along with more in-depth news and intel than are posted on my alerts website.

Thanks to your support, I’ve been able to put food on the table and set up a few solar panels so that I can work through the daily power outages here.

It’s been a difficult journey to get here, and I attribute any success I have to Jesus Christ and my wonderful family here whom I love dearly.

For those who support my work: Thank you, from both me and my family. For those thinking about it: I’d be grateful, and I humbly submit that the information and alerts that you receive in return are well worth it, but that is something you can decide for yourselves.

We give straight and accurate professional-grade threat alerts, world news, and intelligence updates without the manipulative agendas, fluff, or exaggeration. I will never violate my own integrity/Christian moral values just to increase my follower count. You can count on that".

Subscribe to Defcon Alerts, and The Standeford Journal for in-depth news and intel updates. The Standeford Journal may also include some articles posted on Defcon Alerts but will include many articles not posted here.
Each platform has been reduced in price so that subscribers can enjoy both without breaking the bank.

Who We Are, And What We Are About, And Why A Separate News Site

We give straight and accurate professional-grade threat alerts, world news, and intelligence updates. No manipulative agendas or fluff, completely independent of any governments, government agencies, or third parties.

We run a separate news site for a few reasons:

First of all, it’s difficult for people to sort through breaking alerts when it’s all mixed in with the latest news. Especially if that news isn’t of immediate importance.
Second of all, alerts can sometimes be infrequent depending on the geopolitical situation and global tensions. In the past during peacetime situations, I had times where I had nothing to report on, but now with The Standeford Journal, I can easily shift focus to putting out important news and intel on the news site while still keeping an eye on breaking alerts, the geopolitical situation and developing tensions around the globe. This ensures that I will not run out of things to report on and bridges that gap.

Expect more complete reports from The Standeford Journal, albeit sometimes a little later than the Alerts Platform. There are also reports on The Standeford Journal not posted on the alerts platform, which is mainly meant for putting out quick developing alerts rather than complete articles.

Like Defcon Alerts, articles in The Standeford Journal are also subject to being updated during times when news is in the development phase. Usually, the updates will be posted in the paid section of the article.

The Defcon Alerts platform may put out a flurry of alerts in quick succession during heated conflicts or may be relatively silent during the “in-between” times, or during times of relative geopolitical calm. Subscribe to The Standeford Journal for continued reports during these times.

Rest assured, “During the in-between” times, and during peacetime, I’m still always on the watch and alert!” - Donald Standeford

What If I want To Only Subscribe To One Platform?

If you only want to subscribe to one platform I would suggest Donald’s Patreon platform, or The Standeford Journal, as most alerts are posted there after I have enough information on them to put it out as a news report, and we’re shifting our news-related focus to those platforms. Our Defcon Alerts platform may be extremely active during times of heated geopolitical tensions, or may not be very active in between global tensions.

If you can subscribe to both Defcon Alerts and The Standeford Journal you will get the best of both worlds. And of course, all our alerts are always posted on our Patreon platform, usually before any of the other platforms.

List Of Our Platforms And Social Media Accounts:

Stay Informed! You will find our main paid subscription platforms below. Also remember, that our alerts website Defcon Level is continually updated throughout each day as alerts happen.

Defcon Level - Early access, alerts, geopolitical news, intel - Update Frequency: [Medium] (Alerts/Geopolitical News). Alerts: Sent On Initial Article Submissions Only [Email Alerts Optional].

Patreon Alerts/News & Intel Updates - Early access, all intel included, alerts, and geopolitical news in one platform - Update Frequency: Low, Medium, High (Depending On Tier). Email Alerts: Alerts Sent On All Article Submissions And All Article Updates [Email Alerts Optional]. SUBSCRIBE

— [The Patreon Platform contains all alerts, intel, and news. It also contains some intel and news not posted on Defcon Alerts. The highest Patreon tier is for people who do not mind higher-frequency updates and intel]. —

IMPORTANT NOTE - Although I do a good job getting information out quickly, I value quality over quantity. I do not post meaningless fillers, or try to appease the microwave generation mentality by posting out fast inaccurate, or incomplete information just to get alerts out.

When necessary, I will spend a great deal of time researching a matter to get a more complete picture. Rest assured, I will get information out quickly if the matter in question is urgent. You are subscribing to quality service, not ambiguous one or two-sentence updates with questionable accuracy as is often seen for free on social media.

Bottom line: I don’t post fluff just to fill the void. If you don’t see a lot of alerts or news, it’s probably because not a lot is going on. There will also be times when alerts will be very frequent when there is a lot going on.

What Are The Differences Between Our Platforms?

The Defcon Alerts platform is for receiving quick alerts, where our geopolitical news is posted, and where some of our intel is posted. This contains some document versions for intel, some PDF files, etc.

Not all news intel or attachments are posted on this platform. If you want all intel, alerts, and news in one place, subscribe to our Patreon Platform. Not sure which to get? Try each of them out and see which you prefer.
