MERRY NEW YEAR

A long standing tradition, that I've been doing since the dawn of time, is to do a blog post on the first day of each new year, usually called something like "NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS", in which I spell out my good intentions for the upcoming year.
 

I generally don't seem to end up doing many of them for very long, but at least I set out with some good intentions each year.

Here are my five resolutions for 2026 (five is always a good number for this sort of thing, simply because we have five toes on each foot):
 

 1. HEALTH

To focus firstly on my own health, by asking "Is this thought or action good for me?" And then to only do it if it is. I already eat pretty well and generally have fairly good habits, but the thing I think I really need to change is to shift towards a more positive focus. 

I'm sure Louise Hay would have recommended that! 

2. PINE

To apply the acronym "PINE" to what I say and post online. Check that it's Positive, Inspiring, Necessary or Entertaining. So I'll be aiming to stop going on about conspiracies for at least the next year. I've been doing quite a lot of that for the past 25 years, and although I've mostly been right, it probably hasn't really achieved much. 

Here's an example: This year rather than saying Microsoft are evil, I'll try to help people who already know that to switch over to Linux.

3. STAY FOCUSED 

To limit my looking at crap online to under 15 minutes a day. 

I'm now using an extension on Brave called "StayFocusd" and the sites I've got it monitoring include Youtube, Bitchute, and Facebook, which are essentially the last three remaining social media sites I was still looking at in 2025. Now after 15 mins they are being blocked. 

Essentially I can choose whether to let a bunch of deep state programmers use their lame AI to fill my mind with crap, or to choose to come up with my own thoughts.

4. LAUGH

To laugh more. Things are way too dark, serious, and depressing in fudporn world. 

If one of my enlightened objectives is to make woketards heads explode, taking the piss out of the clueless fuckers is probably one of the best tactics we have. 

We can either laugh or cry, but laughing is more fun.
 

5. MOVE ON

To let go and move on. There are all sorts of things that are beyond my control, like everything in the past for example, but I've been like a dog that won't let go of it's stick. 

I want to direct my attention at the things that matter and ignore the stuff that doesn't. 

OK that is probably a bit ambitious I know, but I'll give it another crack this year.

 

 

10th ANNIVERSARY POST

  Calling this my 10th Anniversary post is not 100% accurate because I've been posting stuff online since October 1998 in various forms, but I like round numbers, and as far as these latest versions of my FROT and SIFT blogs go, this is the completion of the tenth year.  

My first FROT post from January 1 2016 is still online here, as are all the  posts from that third incarnation of the FROT blog, which number in total about 800.

And the final FROT post from December 30 2023 is here, bringing to an end eight years of FROT posts.

 

I moved over to this new purple www.sift.co.nz blog on January 1 2024. It was the second incarnation of my SIFT blog, and I was feeling enthusiastic, so went hard out, doing a post every day for two years, and completed a total of over 700 posts in just two years.

My first SIFT post in 2024 is here. (I called it a 25th anniversary post, which was also true but in a different way)

This post today is the latest of two years of SIFT posts, and I'm calling it a 10th anniversary post. 

I have no idea what my posting on SIFT will be like in 2026. At this stage I expect it won't be daily, because I'm going to try not to keep going on about how screwed everything is, not because it isn't screwed, but because it's not really fixing anything to keep going on about it.

Yes, as a rough rule of thumb, nearly everything we have been told is a lie, but I'm no longer very interested in trying to prove that point, because I demonstrated it to my own satisfaction years ago, and plenty of other people are now continuing that fine work.

After watching true information being roundly rejected for the past quarter of a century in favour of whatever normie bullshit is being promoted by the globalist programmers, I realise that the majority of people really will never actually learn to think for themselves, so I need to get over it.

I'm sort of resigned to all that now, so whatever happens in 2026, and I'm expecting it to be quite spectacular, I'll make no promises to say or not say anything about it. I will simply post whatever takes my fancy, nothing more and nothing less.

Best wishes for the NEW YEAR, hang on to your hats for what could be a wild ride.

 

LINUX IS FINALLY REPLACING WINDOWS

Since Microsoft ended support for Windows 10 and tried to force everyone to use their appalling spyware system, Windows 11, their past decade of utter bullshit finally seems to be catching up with them.

lt's only this year that the Linux desktop operating systems seem to have finally gone from being geek only - 1-4% of desktop users, to this sudden rapid rise that could mess up the big players - if Windows drops from say 75% down to 50%, while Linux jumps up from 2% to 25% that is really going to shake things up.

In the past Microsoft have rolled out crappy new operating systems and everyone has just "updated" to whatever is put in front of them, even if it is a major step backwards. Like Windows 10 was after Win 7, let alone Win 8 after Win 7. But Win 11 has really created a backlash. It is obvious spyware as well as complete garbage, and many people are not happy. 

I use Linux Mint myself, but I also recommend Linux Zorin.

 

 "Zorin OS, an excellent Linux desktop, reports that its latest release, "Zorin OS 18 has amassed 1 million downloads in just over a month since its release." What makes it especially interesting is that over "78% of these downloads came from Windows" users.

Now, that's got my attention... 780,000 Windows users don't download a 3.5 Gigabyte Linux desktop distribution if they're not giving it serious consideration. Linux desktop fans download different distros all the time. For them, it's a hobby.

For Windows users? You have to think they are considering making the Linux switch.

Many have already been making the leap. By May 2025, StatCounter data showed the Linux desktop had grown from a minute 1.5% global desktop share in 2020 to above 4% in 2024, and was at a new American high of above 5% by 2025"

JESUS DOES NOT APPROVE

Jesus is not down with this sort of thing

The joys of a continuous feed - Something I like about Blogger is that because the feed is continuous, flowing through from one post to the next, it is perfectly set up to throw in random images, art, lolpics, memes and gifs to make the whole thing a total crack up!

REVISITING THE BEATLES

As a music fan and “conspiracy theorist” I’ve long been confused and conflicted about The Beatles. Part of what keeps pulling me back to look at them is that I've never really understood this story, but I suspect that it ties into almost every deep state cover up for the past 60 years.

And another aspect is that despite living on the opposite side of the globe (I’m not a flat earther), my mother was from Liverpool, and I spent some time there, staying with relatives as a child. 

People I spoke to who lived there in the early 60’s had never seen or even heard of them back then, and were stunned when they became “bigger than Jesus” all around the world.

On the one hand I think they performed some of the greatest pop songs ever written. They influenced many of my favourite bands – everyone from Split Enz to Joy Division. But my favourite Beatles track, “Rain” was never even on an album…

On the other hand I hate some of their music as much as any music I’ve ever heard. For example, I think a lot of the album “Sgt. Peppers Lonely Heart’s Club Band” is horrible – really creepy. And that is just based on the music, let alone the fact that it’s filled with satanic and deep state references from the cover to the final track.

They put out all sorts of amazing and really advanced music, but as soon as you start delving into the rabbit hole that is The Beatles, the cover ups and mismatched stories are endless.

There are so many conflicting theories it’s hard to know where to start. But here are three things I am certain of. There was more than one person playing the role of “Paul McCartney”, they did not write nor play all the music that is credited to them, and John Lennon was not assassinated in 1980.
