Here is a direct message from Tom to Steemit
Tom wanted to make a quick thank you video to you ALL.
I found out years ago, that charities tend to rip people off - and as little as 5% ends up actually going to the cause, with this in mind and make it plain to see we are in touch with Tom in Syria, he put a quick video together for YOU, so without further delay, I bring you Tom Duggan, all the way from Syria today below.

Tom
is unpaid for his independent journalism & also not afraid to call a false flag what it is, he is also critical of Israel as he has every reason to be, he is one of the last REAL independent journalists left, that is why I am intent on funding him, also he has never sold out to corrupt corporations, so he can continue to say it the way it IS - not how some greedy corporation wants him to "spin it" - as they say.
Thank you all for rallying around and making this possible, I have massive faith in steemit as a platform, and even more faith that humanity might actually still exist.
Have a fantastic week one and all.
Deliberator = Definition of deliberator

Thanks Tom for all of your invaluable work, looking forward to reaching the goal. I'm glad that we are making this happen, STEEM changes lives!

I up voted this as much as I could, and also included in the Steemit section of my daily headlines post on my @newsagg account. I also up voted some of your comments to throw a little more your way. I also resteemed it.

Thank you Tom for bringing independent journalism to all of us here on Steemit and around the world - your work is so important. The people deserve to know the truth of what is going on, especially the people of the US, UK and France - we should know our government is terrorizing these countries and stand up to say NO more!
So many thanks to you @deliberator for sharing this with us and also for mentioning me & @lyndsaybowes to Tom! I am blown away to have him thank us and I hope we can get him every bit of equipment he needs and more! He definitely deserves it!

As always maximum respect to you @ameriespeaks, thank you for helping, it is heart warming to say the least as you can see from Tom's face, it gives him a rare moment to have a smile in a long period of sustained war.

Well the long term aim of funding Tom to keep covering Syria then go to Yemen is looking good, so we must be doing something right.

I don't know that I would like to work there, seems a bit dangerous, but they obviously know what they are doing. Not going to see news like this on MSM. I'm watching the bonus video.
