Xpose the lies. Xplore the truth. Xplain the real — Xplisset.

Xplisset Voice of America started as a loud little Black newsletter yelling into the void. Now it’s a reader-funded newsroom holding billionaire-owned media giants , the ones who are supposed to be looking out for us but keep looking out for billionaires, accountable in public.

XVOA is a politically raw, psychologically sharp newsletter tracking the slow collapse and possible rebirth of American democracy. No corporate sponsors. No party memo. No billionaire sugar daddy. Just you, me, and the receipts.

I’m Xavier “Xplisset” Plisset — a retired cop, cultural analyst, and Jungian-obsessed Black progressive who’s lived inside the system and far out on its margins. Here I pull together law, history, media, race, AI, and music into one story instead of fifty disconnected headlines.

What you’ll see here:

• Blackout Briefs: short dispatches on the stories they hope you miss.

• Spin Spectrum Dailies: how different outlets bend the same event, and what that spin is doing to your head.

• In-depth essays: blues-soaked, historically grounded, Jungian-tinged dives that explain why this all feels the way it does.

• Occasional live broadcasts and breakdowns as XVOA grows into a full broadcast platform.

• If you’re new, start with: “Start Here” That’ll give you the full picture of what Xplisset Voice of America is and how I see the work we’re doing together.

XVOA is an unapologetically Black, progressive voice that’s open to anyone who shows up in good faith. Full essays stay free so people on fixed incomes can still read. Paid subscriptions buy me time to keep pulling curtains back and, over time, to bring other people into this work.

If you’ve ever read the news and thought, “I feel like I’m being played, but I can’t quite say how,” this space is for you. Nobody is coming to save us. But together, we can Xpose the lies, Xplore the truth, and Xplain the real.
