EAT ZE BUGS

A Swedish company called Tebrito had a plan to produce meal-worms for insect proteins to put in human food like granola and protein bars. They got $4.2 million in investments to push this toxic "food".


In 2023 they only had a revenue of $49000 and lost almost $12.6 million. In 2024 they went bankrupt because nobody wants to eat insects. At least most people are REJECTING this part of the globalist agenda. 
 
 

Another Swedish company called Mycorena also went bankrupt in 2024. They got $27.8 million in investments to produce 3D printed fake meat made out of mycelium.
It is clear that even in liberal Sweden, people do not want to eat fake foo
d.

Go woke, go broke.

GRAND MASTERS OF DECEPTION

In an attempt to explain the many levels of "conspiracy" research I often used to use the analogy of multiplayer online games - there are lots of levels, which ever one you get to there are more above it, and if you do ever get to the top one, another one will rapidly be created above it.

But then I had the thought, online games games have only been around for about 25 years, while "conspiracies" go back hundreds of years. And that is when I started thinking about chess.

It is said a chess grand master can anticipate all the possible moves up to seven levels ahead. Whoever is pulling the strings globally would need to be able to do that as well.

It wasn't a major jump to start wondering who all the chess grand masters actually are. And sure enough, no surprises here!

Beersheba in Israel is the city with the most chess grand masters per capita in the world

Bobby Fischer, the highest rated player in history when he became world champion in 1972, is believed to have had two Jewish parents, although Fischer himself was "antisemitic" and strongly denied having a Jewish identity.

Many others would also try to hide the fact so the actual numbers would be higher, but this is the official list of "Outstanding Jewish Chess Players" on Jewish owned Wikipedia:

ARE WE REALLY OUTNUMBERED

While trying to find the correct spelling for the word “usable” (able to be used) I read on an American website that “there are more people using American English than British English” – bollocks I thought, as the word INDIA repeated over and over in my mind…

So just how does the use of American English really compare to British English? Here are some rough figures:

People speaking variations of British English

Indian English (125 million)*
United Kingdom English (67 million)
Australian English (26 million)
New Zealand English (5 million)
Irish English (5 million)
Singapore English (2 million)**

Total – 230 million

*India is the most populous country at 1.4 billion people (yes, slightly ahead of China as of 2025) but it’s hard to estimate how many Indians have some degree of English literacy – 125 million is considered conservative.  **Same with Singapore (population 6 million) – estimate 2 million have some degree of English literacy

People speaking variations of American English

US English (335 million – just the US population alone)

If we also include Canadian English (38 million) that increases the lead even further. Damn I always hate admitting Americans are right, but they got me there!

Other large countries I haven’t taken into account here include Malaysia (British English) and the Philippines (American English)

 

And how is usable spelt? – either usable or useable are both correct! (the spell checkers are wrong!)

And now I’ll make up for my anguish by including a few American memes!

SOMETHING TO CHEW ON

All of Americas "First Ladies" have been men. Yes that does include Melania. No, "she" is not the first exception in American history.

Here are 20 pictures of historic American "First Ladies" to chew on...

SESSION vs SIGNAL

 
Signal is a popular messaging app that is widely regarded as being private, and compared to Messenger it is, but the big issue, the main reason it can never really be a privacy app, is that it requires a phone number to set up an account.
 
An alternative to Signal is Session, which is in many ways very similar to Signal, in fact it nearly looks identical because it's an open source hard fork based on the Signal code. But the big difference is that it doesn't require a phone number, so a Session account can actually be anonymous.
 
Session is not as popular as Signal yet because it's fairly new and not many people have heard of it. But it's easier to set up an account on Session than it is on Signal.  It doesn't require a phone number, and it doesn't ask anything about you. 
 
A new account can be rapidly set up not just on a phone, but also using a Laptop, a PC, or a tablet, running Windows, Android, Mac, or Linux operating systems.

To install it you can get it from any of the app stores, but better yet go directly to the Session website. This is preferable because by not logging into an app store you remain anonymous - https://getsession.org/
 
Initially Session had several drawbacks, but these have now been addressed.
 
It previously had a size limit of 10 on encrypted groups, but that has now been increased to 100 which is hopefully enough for most groups. 
 
It was originally set up in Australia which is considered a major security risk (as is NZ) but they have now moved to Switzerland - https://getsession.org/blog/introducing-the-session-technology-foundation 
 
And Session also had a reputation for being buggy in 2023 when it was new, but it seems to have really improved in the past six months. I have had no problems with it so far, and in fact have found it works better for me than Signal, because I can be logged in with multiple Android devices with no account conflicts. 
 
The only issue I've had is that it won't install on Windows 7, which is only an issue for around 3% of desktop users these days, and I was expecting that to be the case anyway because it's based on Signal and Signal won't install on Win 7 either. But I've found it works really well on both Linux and Android.

 
YOUR ACCOUNT ID
 
There is really only one new thing to keep in mind when using Session - because unlike Signal it is not using your phone number or the phone numbers of your contacts, to set up the initial link you have to exchange your account ID for the first contact. This is the minor inconvenience that allows the whole platform to be totally private.
 
The account ID is a 72 character code that will look similar to this one (this is not an actual code but just an example):
  06b2451d1bc973a57021bf76f353306c7sfc7ec891eb29ef4997bd82473300e00b
 
Your account ID is not high security and it's OK to give that out to everyone you want to contact. You also get a recovery code which is a random generated series of 13 words, and that on the other hand needs to be kept private. Keep that code secure and don't share it with anyone.


 
Who is behind Session?

Session is part of the Loki Foundation, a non-profit organization without a permanent seat. The CEO is Simon Harman. Even though the project is not profit-oriented, he wants to monetize Session. Parts of the infrastructure are based on a block-chain network that mines its own currency, $LOKI.

The network provides important infrastructure for anonymizing its users, including an onion router to hide your IP address. Neither your counterpart nor the Loki Foundation can determine your location.

So if a state were to obtain a court order to inspect the session servers, investigators would find nothing but meaningless session IDs and TOR-IP addresses. None of this information would allow us to draw clear conclusions about the identity of the messenger app's users.


Privacy features of Session

    Users can generate a Session ID with a private key to start an account
    Session doesn’t require phone numbers.
 
    The chat platform doesn’t collect any data, and therefore a data breach is impossible.
 
    Messages go through an onion routing network, removing traceability.
    Session is an open-source program, so you can verify everything.
 
    It’s censorship resistant thanks to its decentralized network, therefore also harder to shut down
 
REVIEWS
 
Here is a good review of Session on the Restore Privacy website. It answers a lot of questions, but keep in mind that it was written in April 2024, and  the concerns about Australian privacy are no longer an issue - https://restoreprivacy.com/secure-encrypted-messaging-apps/session/
 

 
I have found Rob Braxman's Youtube channel really helpful for learning about privacy. Here is his video about Session, which he recommends highly.
