Mr. Lendman's commentary is sorely missed in these turbulent times. I'm sure he is in Heaven writing his usual 3 or more articles daily.

Mr. Lendman's voice is truly missed in these turbulent times. I'm sure he is in Heaven writing 3 or 4 articles daily about the issues facing this nation and the world.

Sad to see notice of Stephen's passing. I've been reading his columns for many years and always valued the information and insight. The internet is a lonelier place today, but I've always looked at him as a source of truth. He will be missed.

Mr. Lendman, whose publications I've often followed since many years, was always sincere and engaged, consistently on the side of the truth and compassion.
During this spring he had mentioned his health failing him, at his very advanced age, but he still kept going until the very end.
Great guy!

From Australia, Stephen Lendman was amongst the most clear thinking anti-war bloggers I could find. I can't right now think of any issue where I disagreed with him. A sad loss to humankind.

Sad to hear that this good man has passed. I think he did more than most to fight for what he believed to be fair and just. I checked in nearly daily with his blog and started to worry when quite some time passed without further commentary there from him. I hope he inspired others to fill his shoes in doing the work of and for justice and decency. Many of us will miss him, I'm sure of that. I hope he drew his final breath in a gentle way.

I was a big fan of Stephen's blog and he was a friend of mine on Facebook. I emailed him once and said that I agreed with him about 99% of the time. I don't know where he really was on the political spectrum, but he had a lot of wisdom and insight. Will be missed.

Oh I knew it very late, just now. I am very sad about this. He was a nice, generous intellectual man and a prolific writer. He readily consented to be one of our [LAW ANIMATED WORLD] editorial advisers. Profound condolences to all his near and dear, and glowing tributes in his illustrious memory. - I MALLIKARJUNA SHARMA, Advocate, Editor, LAW ANIMATED WORLD, HYDERABAD, INDIA.

Stephen was a gentleman, a scholar, an analyst, and an activist who used his gifts to help countless people less gifted than he. Our paths occasionally crossed in our respective RBN endeavors when I would drop him a note or call for advice and perspective.
Revelation 2:10 and Christ´s instructions to the believers in the Church of Smyrna in Asia Minor: " Be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life."
Stephen has his.

A pleasure working with Stephen over the years in Independent Truth Media Radio. Stephen was one of the early broadcasters on RBN, Republic Broadcasting Network. Stephen was willing to call a spade a spade. Not popular to do so, but honest. My Broadcasting style being much the same. I thank you for the work you did. You made an impact on this world. Godspeed Stephen Lendman. Stephen Elkins RBN

I was lost for so long. I went from day to day without ever being awake. Stephen Lendman was one of a few who gently nudged me (sometimes not so gently) to wake up. I am grateful for showing me how to have an independent thought. I will miss your guidance, greatly. I guess its time to slap myself awake.

With great sadness to hear the death of Stephen Lendman. His blog was so informative shedding light and wisdom on events in particular the war in Ukraine. Will be deeply missed.

Very sorry to hear of Stephen´s passing. We have lost a great mind. He was a huge help and inspiration to me, a fine researcher and excellent interviewer. For a while he had me on his radio show every month, and he was a pleasure to talk to. At that time I was new to public speaking and a bit terrified of it all. Stephen carried the ball and chatted away like a friend, relieving my anxiety and bringing out the meat of the topic in a nonthreatening way. I know he struggled for a long time with health issues and I imagine he is enjoying newfound freedom, finally relieved of an ailing body. Sail on, noble Stephen! You have made a much-needed contribution to a struggling world.

Stephen's writing was very inspiring, hard hitting and critical of US administrations. His articles will earn their rightful place in the historical record. He is a huge loss and will be sorely missed by the media community.

Stephen was a deep thinker and exceptional writer who shinned the light of truth upon every issue he addressed. A kind and gentle man with a powerful intellect, he made the world a better place through his illuminating commentaries and analyses. I admired him and regarded him as a source of inspiration for myself.

We are very saddened to learn only now of the passing of Clarity Press author STEPHEN LENDMAN on May 9. His books offered breakthrough insights into the US domestic and foreign policy. Foreign editions were published in China, France, Japan and Russia.
To the end of his life, Stephen wrote effectively on justice issues impacting today's world, and garnered a large public following.
Lendman was awarded the Mexican Press Club's International Investigatory Journalism Award in 2011. The awards ceremony was televised throughout Latin America.
His dedication, tenacity and almost daily columns over a period of almost 2 decades inspired and offered guidance to all who seek a better world.

I am very saddened to hear Mr. Lendman has passed. I knew he had not been well and feared the worse when there had been no new posts on his blog in a while. He was an excellent journalist - far better than what now passes for such in today's world. Mr. Lendman deserved a Pulitzer for his writing about Ukraine. He always responded to my email comments about his articles. He will be missed. RIP Mr. Lendman.

I am extremely sad, upset to learn the news, about Mr. Stephen passing. He will no longer have the chance to delight us with his articles with which he won our respect and admiration, such objective, outspoken and courageous person as for my part, I will no longer have the privilege an opportunity to read them ! What a loss for humanity, something irreplaceable! I have never known a person so objective and so gentle as the nice in my entire life, although I had the privilege and luck to meet and talk personally with many. Informationally and in the way of his thinking, he was was way ahead of his peers, at least by tens years . I was aware that he was extremely ill and I was worried about his state of health in recent years. Considering the extremely precarious state of his health, he always found the strength and time to answer my emails, the last one dated from March 17, 2023. What an exceptional man! What a loss to mankind! I have no regrets because I have affirmed my admiration and love for him countless times, whenever I had the chance, although honestly I would do it one more time, but unfortunately I won't have that opportunity again. I learned so much from you Mr. Lendman along the years and I still could have learned a lot more, but unfortunately God decided to call you to be at his side. Surely in heaven you are in a better place than here on earth. I am extremely sorry that you could not be a part until the end and a witness to the ongoing historical changes happening around the world , although I know how much you wanted to part of it. Rest in peace Mr. Lendman. You will remain in my memory forever as long as I live.
