I CAN'T HELP MYSELF

Given how totally gross KFC both looks and smells, it boggles my mind that there are so many of these disgusting American franchises in New Zealand. 

I live just down the road from one, and every time I walk past it I inhale it's thick aroma of greasy chemicals and stare at fat people getting out of their cars in the car park. (Yes, for real, almost all their customers are fat).

About 30 years ago I tried eating one piece of KFC chicken but it was so revolting I spat it out. And it's safe to say I've never been tempted to try it again.

So avoiding KFC (or any other junk food) really isn't a problem, I'm simply not tempted. But giving up my last two social media temptations, Youtube and Facebook, has proven harder.

If they weren't trying to force feed me so much pathetic AI slop I would just keep on sneaking a quick look, but AI is like the stench of KFC, it wafts about, like a stenching fart that I I'm trying to avoid but keep noticing.

Miles Mathis (who is probably a fake himself) recently wrote this:

"Why is Youtube now overrun by fake AI videos like these claiming to be narrated by Joe Rogan . . . but not. Not only are the subjects fake, but Rogan isn't narrating them: an AI voice is mimicking him.

You can tell it isn't him because it is mispronouncing a lot of words Rogan knows how to pronounce. For instance, in one he mentions a date of 1992, but says “one-thousand nine-hundred and ninety-two”.

No human makes that mistake. And this is just one channel of many publishing hundreds or thousands of fake videos. Youtube has rules against things like this and it used to police them, but now it promotes them instead, I am guessing as part of Operation Chaos. 

The question is, why is Rogan allowing it? He has to know about it. 

It looks to me like AI has been tasked with creating literally millions of fake videos tailored for every possible interest, to snare you in an endless loop, waste as much of your time as possible, stir your brain, create fear and unease, and make it impossible for you to tell reality from fiction. Why? To
keep you from starting the revolution. 

 They want you to think Joe Rogan and his pals are on it, so you can just sit back and watch. You are supposed to believe that Trump and Rogan and Tucker and RFK, Jr., and a gaggle of CIA whistleblowers pretending to be white hats are rousting out the Deep State, starting with the Epstein files.

And they are going to clean up your food supply while they are at
it, as well as declassify the aliens, explain the pyramids, and tell you what happens after we die. Ain't it great? So you can sit on the sidelines and cheer, or go back to sleep.

Even worse, they mix in a lot of truth, for maximum confusion. I am not saying everything they say is wrong. Some of it, like outing fake food, is true. See Rogan outing Kraft mac and cheese as the garbage it is. 

Unfortunately, when this is mixed with a lot of AI fakes, most people can't tell the difference between the true stuff and the false, and they eventually give up trying. Which is of course the point of it: many will conclude the story about Kraft is as fake as the rest of it, and keep buying their old garbage food."


I can help myself, and I do fully intend avoiding all AI - if that means no more Youtube, so be it. I will miss a few things, like some of the music videos, but I have saved copies of all my favourite ones.

Admittedly I do still quickly check YouTube and Facebook most days, but I'm only engaging in that filthy habit as a sort of quick check to see what normies are freaking out about. Sort of like sniffing some KFC but not actually eating any! (At least that is what I'm telling myself)

Remember the 90's? No phones (I don't use those things either), no AI, and some of the music rocked!

THE FALL OF THE NFT

Just a few years ago NFTs (Non Fungible Tokens) were going to be the new Bitcoin and were being heralded as an amazing investment opportunity.

But they are not doing so well any more. In fact people seem to be saying the bloody things are now worthless and all the gullible numpties who bought them got stiffed

According to a report by dappGambl that reviewed data from NFT Scan and CoinMarketCap, 69,795 out of 73,257 NFT collections have a market cap of 0 Ether, leaving 95% of those holding NFT collections – or 23 million people – with worthless investment.

NFTs, or non-fungible tokens, are a form of crypto asset that is used to certify ownership and authenticity of a digital file including an image, video or text.

The report comes nearly two years after the craze for NFTs swept up celebrities and artists alike, with many rushing to purchase NFT collections of the Bored Ape Yacht Club and Matrix avatars.

In March 2021, the crypto entrepreneur Sina Estavi made headlines when he paid $2.9m for an NFT of the first tweet from the former Twitter boss Jack Dorsey. Meanwhile, in December 2021, the former first lady launched an NFT collection named Melania’s Vision which included a limited edition digital artwork of her eyes.

Not that NFT's were ever going to have any real purpose or long term value:

https://cult.honeypot.io/reads/10-reasons-why-nfts-are-dumb/

These are the ten most expensive NFT's of all time:

10. Stay Free – $5.27 Million


Stay Free is the tenth most expensive NFT ever sold.

The Stay Free NFT came into existence when NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden, entered the NFT bandwagon in April 2021. The Stay Free NFT covers the entirety of the 2015 Second Circuit Court of Appeals decision in ACLU v. Clapper, which ruled that the National Security Agency’s surveillance activities violated the laws.

“Emerging applications of cryptography can play an important role in supporting our rights,” Snowden had mentioned during the announcement of his own NFT. He further went on to add that the funds from the auction will allow the Foundation to develop privacy-protecting encryption, ensuring press freedom.

It was bought by PleasrDAO, a decentralized autonomous organization.

Stay Free portrays Snowden against the text of the hearing with his signature on the bottom right, which is a one-of-its-kind artwork. Snowden went on to sell the artwork for $5.27 million and donated the proceeds to the Freedom of the Press Foundation, which is a non-profit that advocates for free speech and press freedom around the world. It is produced using open-source software.

9. Save Thousands of Lives – $5.23 Million


Save Thousands of Lives is an NFT artwork launched by a non-profit called Noora Health that was sold on May 8.2021.

This artwork was sold to programmer Paul Graham at a charity auction. This artwork aims to help fund Noora Health’s efforts with new mothers in South Asia by teaching them how to take care of their babies once they get home from hospitals.

Noora Health has been working with more than 165 hospitals in the region and works with the families of the new mothers, by educating them on how to keep the mother and the baby healthy and safe.

This artwork was sold for $5.1 million or 1,337 ETH, saving lives at a cost of $1,235 for every life saved.

8. World Wide Web Source Code – $5.4 Million


Sir Tim Berners Lee, the founder of the World Wide Web decided to explore the NFT ecosystem when he decided to sell an NFT that consisted of the original source code for the web. It’s an artistic representation of the web source code, bundled together as an NFT.

The artwork which was titled “This Changes Everything” went on sale at Sotheby’s with critics complaining about the same. Many said that this went against the web’s decentralized nature.

However, the sale went on ahead and garnered $5.4 million. Interestingly, days after the artwork was sold, someone pointed out a coding error in the artwork sold.

7. CryptoPunk #5217 – $5.59 Million


The CryptoPunk #5217 is one of the 24 ape punks wearing a knitted hat and a gold chain. Features on the #5217, our second CryptoPunk on the list, are considered to be quite rare and unique by the Punk enthusiasts as well.

The CryptoPunk #5217 is currently owned by the address 0xe30161 and isn’t up for sale.

6. Ocean Front – $6 Million


The Ocean Front is an artwork by graphic designer NFT artist Mike Winkelmann, popularly known as Beeple.

Ocean Front tries to create awareness around climate change and showcases a tree sitting atop cargo containers in the middle of the ocean. What makes Ocean Front one of the most popular NFTs is the way it highlights a real-world social problem.

Justin Sun, Founder and CEO of the Tron Foundation won the winning bid for the artwork at around $6 million. The proceeds from the Ocean Front sale are going to benefit the Open Earth Foundation, a nonprofit organization working to avoid the existential risk of climate change.

The Open Earth Foundation is working on “raising assets to foster an imaginative open advanced framework for further developed administration of planet Earth helping track straightforwardly the worldwide advancement on the Paris Agreement to keep away from the existential danger of environmental change.”

The artwork was sold on Nifty Gateway.

5. Crossroad – $6.66 Million


Another one from the drawing board of Beeple is Crossroads. Back when it was sold in February 2021, it remained the most expensive piece of digital art ever sold for a brief amount of time.

Crossroad is an artwork focused on the US elections, and supposedly showcases a defeated Donald trump lying in the background after the 2020 results. However, it was supposed to showcase him wearing a crown, had he won.

The NFT was sold for $6.66 million by Nifty Gateway, which brokered the deal between the original owner of the artwork and an anonymous buyer. It was sold at 10x of its original price within four months of its initial purchase.

 4. CryptoPunk #3100 – $7.51 Million


Yet another CryptoPunk on the list is CryptoPunk #3100, which was sold for $7.51 million. The #3100 is one of the rarest CryptoPunks, known as the alien punks, and sports a headband. It was sold for 4,200 ETH or $7.51 million in March 2021.

Out of the 10,000 Cryptopunks out there, there are 9 alien aliens, that make them enviable amongst the NFT enthusiasts.

3. CryptoPunk #7804 – $7.56 Million


At $7.56 million, CryptoPunk #7804 is one of the 9 aliens, similar to the one mentioned above. The person behind the sale of this NFT was Dylan Field, the CEO of design software Figma.

Sold in March 2021, the #7804 sports three accessories- a forward cap, shades, and a pipe. The pipe adds to the rarity of this NFT.

2. CryptoPunk #7523 – $11.8 Million


This appalling picture of a CryptoPunk in a face nappy sold for $11.8 million proving that NFT market is utterly retarded...

"It sports a face mask that provides it a sense of relevance during COVID-19. Moreover, it comes from the group of 9 Alien CryptoPunks. The face mask adds to the uniqueness, making it the only Alien Punk with a mask"

Great that makes it extra cool!

1. Everydays: The First 5000 Days – $69.3 Million


The winner of the most expensive NFTs ever sold is Everydays: The First 5000 Days by Mike Winkelmann which was sold at Christie’s.

Everydays is an artwork that represents a collage of 5,000 of Beeple’s earlier artworks he made every day in the last 5,000 days. Mike Winkelmann stated that he was inspired by British artist Tom Judd and began with the Everydays project on 1t May 2007.  The artwork consists of images ordered chronologically with some of the images actually being hand-drawn. It was purchased by Vignesh “MetaKovan Sundaresan.

The second-highest bidder for Everydays was Justin Sun, the founder of Tron, who was snipped at $60.2 million by Sundaresan.

The pyramid sign is seen by many researchers to be THE sign of the Illuminati.

According to Illuminati researcher Fritz Springmeier, the sign of the horns is a hypnotic induction which triggers certain programming in Monarch mind-controlled slaves.

No.5 Masonic Handshakes

The Lion’s paw and other Freemasonic Handshakes

These are by far the hardest signs to identify on this list. There are dozens of Masonic handshakes and signs. The first 3 degrees of Freemsonry (Blue Lodge) alone have 5 grips and 7 different signs. Other rites connected to these three degrees include the appendant bodies such as the York Rite with 12 degrees and the Scottish Rite with 33 degrees.There are also, irregular Masonic Lodges like the Rite of Memphis-Misraïm with 99 degrees while the Bavarian Illuminati had 9 different grips and 9 individual signs.

That’s A LOT of Masonic handshakes.

It is also incredibly difficult to determine whether are not the people doing the handshake intended it to be a Masonic handshake.

There are hundreds of variations of everyday handshakes which depend on a variety of factors including a person’s height, distance from shaker and even whether or not a person is in a hurry or not. Handshakes also vary depending on how familiar greeters are with each other.

Here are some of the more famous alleged Masonic handshake:

See world leading politicians, business leaders and celebs allegedly doing Masonic handshakes on Youtube here and here.


No.6 Nazi Salute

Hitler Salute, Bellamy salute, Roman salute, Sign of Zelator

The Bellamy Salute traditionally accompanying the Pledge of Allegiance was changed in December 1942 as it became more and more associated with the infamous Nazi Regime. The Olympic salute which is also similar to the Nazi salute has always generated controversy whenever it is.

Links to the Illuminati: The Nazi Salute based on the ancient “Roman” salute was adopted by the Nazis in the 1930s. Hitler was a creation of Illuminati bankers. General Electric, General Motors, DuPont, Ford and Standard Oil were eager to go to war and reap in the benefits. American branches of the Illuminati bankrolled World War 2 and kept feeding Hitler’s war machine until the very end of the war.

Links to the Bavarian Illuminati: No. None of the grips and recognition signal used by the Illuminati resembled the Nazi salute.

Links to Freemasonry: None. Hitler banned freemasonry in Germany because in his beliefs in the Elders of Zion and the Judeo-Masonic Conspiracy.

No.7 Hidden Hand

Hidden Hand of the Men of Jahbuhlun (Jahbulon, Jabulon), Sign of the Master of the Second Veil

Texe Marrs calls this sign the Hidden Hand of the Men of Jahbulon in his Codex Magica. According to Marrs, it represents the hidden Masonic deity, Jahbulon. The sign’s true meaning must remain hidden from the public.

Jahbuhlun = Jah-buh-lun = Yah-Baal-On = Yahweh-Baal-Osiris = The true god of Masonry

No.8 Hand Over Heart

Devil’s claw, Lion’s paw, Hand on Heart

The sign is made by holding the right hand over the heart sometimes raising the left hand with the palm facing forward.

The sign of the hand over the heart represents a reminder of the Masonic obligation of silence from the Fellowcraft degree in which the heart shall be torn out if a Mason were to break his Masonic oath.

“All this I most solemnly promise and swear with a firm and steadfast resolution to perform the same, without any hesitation, mental reservation, or self-evasion of mind whatever, binding myself under no less penalty than of having my breast torn open, my heart plucked out, and placed on the highest pinnacle of the temple (some say, My heart and vitals taken from thence, and thrown over my left shoulder, and carried into the valley of Jehoshaphat, there to be devoured by the vultures of the air, should I ever knowingly violate the Fellow Craft obligation.”

No.9 V for Victory

Chevron, Sign of Pan the Horned God, Peace Sign

The sign is made by holding up the index and middle fingers to form a V.

The V sign was made famous by WW2 Britain Prime Minister Winston Churchill which he used as sign of victory in war. Researcher Stanley Monteith claims that Winston Churchill learned about the sign from being a Druid since 1908. The V sign can also be done over the eye thus representing a triangle over the eye of Lucifer.According to Codex Magic, the sign can be a sign of Satan, of malediction or the horned pagan god, Pan. It can also represent Vulcan, the ancient god of fire and destruction.

Marrs writes:

Done in the typical fashion, this sign literally means intercourse by the devil—to be violated sexually by the horned God. The thumb holding down the fingers creates the “vulva,” while the two largest fingers pointed up are the horns of the God (Satan).

~ Codex Magica

The sign can also be taken to represent a chevron, the symbol of “Wrath and Destruction”. American hippies adapted the V for victory in war sign to mean peace. The hand gesture quickly became THE hand sign for peace.

Researchers often point out that the sign represents a Roman numeral five, a sign for the “Satanic Law of Fives”. However, the law of Fives appears to be a creation of the Discordian Society. The society’s Pentabarf’ is a reflection of this law.

No.10 Grand Hailing Sign of Distress

Masonic Cry of Distress, Hailing Sign of Distress

The sign is made by raising both hands in the air with palms facing out. It looks like someone holding up their arms, as in being help-up. According to some conspiracy theorists, if a Mason ever finds himself in a court law and wishes to appeal to the Masons on the Jury or the Judge, he can perform the Grand Hailing Sign of Distress, and get a chance at getting off. Any mason hearing those words are seeing that sign is oath bound to help by any means possible.

The sign consists of raising your hand up precisely like someone getting held-up. It might look a suspicious if a mason attempted to use this sign in Court according to some legends… According to Duncan’s Monitor, not only does the sign consist of raising your arms up, which itself would probably arouse suspicion, it also involves dropping your hands down straight down and back up three times!

You’d look like a bird attempting to take flight…

Tales surrounding the death of founder of Mormonism Joseph Smith often include Smith either saying “Is There No Help for the Widow’s Son?” or [even more unlikely] performing the Grand Hailing Sign of Distress as he fell from a second-story window to his death after being shot multiple times.

The words accompanying this sign in the night, or dark, when the sign cannot be seen, are, viz.: “O Lord my God! is there no help for the widow’s son?”

~ Duncan’s Masonic Ritual and Monitor

Caveat lector: Are the politicians and celebrities in this article aware that they are making Satanic or Illuminati symbols? Do they know about the signs alleged occult connections and meanings? Are they knowingly and willingly pledging allegiance to Satan or to the Illuminati?

Hidden hand?
