BLOGGING IN 2025

 A year ago when I stopped posting on my old www.frot.co.nz blog, I called my last post "THE END OF AN ERA" and after eight years of posting on that blog it certainly felt like it.

My Sift Blogger blog this year has been a bit of a shorter term experiment. I started out the year by saying I would post whatever and whenever, but rapidly became totally anal and ended up doing a blog post of some sort every day for the entire year. 

 That really is a bit excessive for a blog that only gets about 100 hits a day, especially when I suspect most of those hits are bots of some sort anyway.

In 2025 I plan to quit doing blog posts altogether, but to continue adding new pages from time to time. The pages will be longer and easier to find because they will be named by subject and sorted alphabetically. 

So essentially I'm going to be transitioning back to having a website rather than a blog in 2025. Possibly one day I might even set up an all new self hosted website with a bigger menu and lot more pages, but in the shorter term I'll just keep things simple and continue occasionally posting pages on this Blogger blog because it's quick and easy.

SHIT HAPPENS

 This may not be 100% true but it's a good story and shit happens...

PADERBORN, GERMANY - Overzealous zookeeper Frederic Briefed fed his constipated elephant Stefan 22 doses of animal laxative and more than a bushel of berries, figs and prunes before the plugged-up pachyderm finally let fly — and suffocated the keeper under 200 pounds of poop!

Investigators say ill-fated Friedrich, 46, was attempting to give the ailing elephant an olive-oil enema when the relieved beast unloaded on him like a dump truck full of mud.

"The sheer force of the elephant's unexpected defecation knocked Mr. Riesfeldt to the ground, where he struck his head on a rock and lay unconscious as the elephant continued to evacuate his bowels on top of him," said flabbergasted Paderborn police detective Erik Dern.

"With no one there to help him, he lay under all that dung for at least an hour before a watchman came along, and during that time he suffocated.

"It seems to be just one of those freak accidents that happen sometimes — a billion-to-one shot, at least."

The heartbreaking tale of constipation and tragedy began April 23 when the conscientious zookeeper noticed that his prize, 8,000-pound African elephant didn't seem to be producing his usual poop aplenty.

"Friedrich had actually been concerned for several days because he knew that severe constipation can kill an elephant," assistant zookeeper Kurt Herrman recalled.

"He told me he was going to stay late that Thursday night to treat Stefan with laxatives and possibly give him an enema.

"I offered to help, but he sent me on home, saying he had everything under control."

But two hours later, horrified night watchman Walter Pleuger found Friedrich lying lifeless under a mound of muck, his body visible only from the knees down.

 

"I had never really thought about it before," Det. Dern said. "But obviously, giving an elephant an enema can be a very dangerous activity — and not something that should be attempted alone."

OVER TWO HOURS A DAY

 Ever wondered how much time we are wasting on social media? This is a pretty good summary page - https://www.demandsage.com/average-time-spent-on-social.../

The average amount of time per person in New Zealand is 2 hours 4 mins each day - we are ranked #8= in the world for this achievement - WTF?...

 

I WANTED TO BE WORSHIPED

 Back around a decade ago I had clearer ideas of what I wanted online, and why I was blogging. I stated my primary goals definitively...

"I want to be worshiped like an angry black man with a huge penis"

An archive of my original Sift blog

 

 But after that, doubts started to creep in and I lost sight of my goals...

"Is it worthwhile for me to write stuff? I am uncertain as to whether I can write any entertaining shit anymore, as at this point I am something of a boring old fart with little sense of humour or wit whose writing is so crap a previous version of me would have used it as inspiration as to how not to write"

I still want to change aspects of the world that are bollocks, by helping to expose these things, thereby shifting the tides of perception. We are all only small cogs in a huge machine, but we can still make an annoying high pitched noise that makes the machine sound totally fucked.

SIFT ARCHIVE PAGE

Being a bit of a completionist, for some reason I wanted to copy the content from my original Sift Blogger blog from over a decade ago, and add it all as a single page to this blog. Some of it still amuses me and this entire blog is primarily for my own amusement so why not? The all old SIFT archive page.

 

Somewhere around 2009 to 2013 I used to have a blog on Blogger. That blog was the inspiration for this new 2024 version. I'm not certain what the exact time span of the original was because the dates on the posts all seem to have disappeared. The most recent post was about the abomination that was Windows 8 and that came out in 2013 so I guessed the date from that.

 

Around that time I was posting on quite a few platforms and Blogger was certainly not my number one daily driver. I just used to do some occasional short posts on it. Apart from one post when I first set up this new blog in 2023 I never posted on that old blog after 2013, so after a decade away I was actually quite surprised that Google hadn't deleted it all. 

 

 

 

But some of the content certainly doesn't amuse Google's AI, so this is not quite all of it, only what Google will let me re-post. Back in the old days internet censorship wasn't as full on and the old blog seems to still be all online here.

A GREAT LIST

 While investigating the rabbit hole that is mass poisoning using coffee, earlier this year I stumbled upon a researcher called Jason Christoff

Almost all the popular names in the so called alternative health movement are sponsored and therefore controlled by deep state gate keepers like The Wellness Company, who keep them in line by funding them, as well as selling coffee. Jason Christoff appears to be a lone voice in the wilderness exposing what is really going on with coffee. 

And unlike most of those other "influencers" I don't get the impression he is a shill. Check out his list of 20 Truths to Make Your Life Better In 2025 No controlled opposition puppet would post this stuff!

In this list he covers conventional medicine, government, viruses, taxes, fluoride, school, TV, vaccines, evolution, genders, alcohol, coffee, marijuana, media, mind control, Ukraine, Covid 19 and several other topics in a series of concise summaries. The post URL was originally "The Top 25 Lies" so I suspect he toned the list down a bit and cut it back to 20, but he strikes me as a legit voice exposing this stuff, which is very rare.

In fact he has inspired me to do a longer list exposing all these lies and a bunch more, but I'm having a break from "conspiracies" at the moment. 

Truth is, I've been going on about this stuff online for more that 20 years, and I'm a total burnout, with almost no audience left anyway, so it's probably time for me to shut my trap and find some good sources to recommend instead. A great thing about Jason Christoff is that despite being grey listed he still has a large online audience.

Here is what he said about coffee:
"Coffee is healthy". Absolute inversion, completely false. Coffee is the #1 most effective mind control substance ever shoehorned (via social engineering) into our society. Not only does daily caffeine consumption make you extremely unhealthy and guarantees your premature death, but caffeine also primes the human nervous system to be extremely suspectable to all forms of mind control.
 

GIMP 3 HAS FINALLY BEEN RELEASED

This has been a long time coming, as GIMP 2 was released in 2004. The new version of GIMP looks really good. Here is a screen shot of it installed on my Linux Mint PC:

This webpage covers all the new updates. They seem have stayed fully focused on improving the features, and unlike Firefox or Jaguar they have not fallen into the fashionable cesspit of trying to go woke or reinvent themselves. Which is great to see.  https://www.gimp.org/news/2024/11/06/gimp-3-0-RC1-released/

 

 

GIMP is not only for Linux, there are Windows and Mac versions as well. So you don't have to pay Adobe a huge monthly fee and let them steal your images. You can use GIMP for free, instead of paying for Photoshop. The initial release of GIMP 3 is available for download here:  https://www.gimp.org/downloads/devel/

 

PINE vs. NUDE

In these times of relentless FUDPORN we need to pay attention to the stream of utter crap that is being loaded into our brains. Two acronyms I came up with to remind myself of that:

PINE - Positive, Inspiring, Necessary, Entertaining

NUDE - Negative, Unnecessary, Doubting, Eunuch
