They introduce the Kibbutz House as a lived-in space rather than their usual studio setup, with a big meeting house, and they note there are 10 to 12 people visible outside, though the space could accommodate more (even 50) for meetings. The property includes farm animals (chickens and goats) and about 100 acres of land, offering plenty for everyone. It’s located about a mile from the research Kibbutz, the studio, and Neighborhood News.
Aaron Adler describes their past collaboration during the height of COVID, noting they did about a year of shows with him. He recalls daily coverage on Neighborhood News during that period, mentioning “23 times.” He mentions former contributor Andy DeBala, who has since moved on, and notes that many other citizen journalists are waiting to be found and could be invited to the studio. The goal is to put the neighborhood in news and highlight contributors from all walks of life—farmers, doctors, nurses, engineers, and others—though he jokes that lawyers might be avoided because “we have to sue somebody.”
George has built a large research community with connections across Europe and across the United States, from Frau Hodel and Simon in Europe to people in California, New York, Florida, and Seattle. The space is described as a natural fit for featuring collaborations and for contributing to ongoing news stories, with contributors appearing on graphics and in front of the camera as a kind of minor costar.
They specifically invite people to contribute to a news story that “everyone’s still talking about,” the Charlie Kirk murder, and urge people to visit during that week at 8015 Summerfield, Lambertville, Michigan 40144. Doors will be open at 9 AM. Attendees can bring key pieces of evidence or information, or simply come to hang out and make coffee for the live broadcast with George; one speaker even recounts cleaning the toilet upon arrival.
They encourage involvement from people in Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, and Pennsylvania, emphasizing that this is the week to visit. The session closes with thanks to Aaron Adler for making it possible, and to Mark Buckley, with a shared wish that everyone who can make it would participate.
