ABOUT

Using the internet while displaying any sort of real identity online is a bit like walking down the street stark naked. I'd rather be completely anon, but I've been online for more than a quarter of a century and have revealed more than I can ever really take back now. But that is not to say I have to make things easy for "them" (the "government", or the deep state, or spammers, or stalkers) to track me down.

Until recently week this blog never had any sort of contact details on it, and I was going to leave it that way. But one of the other blogs I follow had added a link to my old www.frot.co.nz blog, which didn't work because of a typo. Being a bit of a completionist I wanted to let them know, but it was difficult to find a contact email on their blog. Eventually I did find a contact and emailed them.

Engagement used to be a big part of blogging, and back when I was posting on blockchains like Steemit, Hive (PeakD), Blurt, Flote, and Bastyon, I used to sometimes get hundreds of comments and I tried to reply to most of them.  These days I have all comments turned off and pretty much just ignore everyone. But the experience of trying to find a contact email on someone elses's blog made me grudgingly admit that it might be a good thing to include a one on this blog.

I've had a lot of problems with spam in the past so don't want to include an actual link, but I figure if I just put an image of an email address that comes to me (but not my daily driver) that should do the job. So here it is - just type out the address in this image:

You can call me SIFT...

Who on earth is "SIFT" and why is he posting things on a blog? - I do seem to have some deep seated need to post things online...

 To celebrate my 25th anniversary of having a BLOG last year (and I don't even remember calling them "BLOGS" back in 1998, I think we just called them "WEBSITES"), I had a month off all online posting, avoiding all social media use as well. 


 THESE DAYS MY TRAFFIC SUCKS
 
 My WordPress blog www.frot.co.nz had dropped off from a peak of 21.4 million hits in 2018, to only 579k hits four years later in 2022 (a 97% drop), which certainly wasn't encouraging.

I'VE BEEN SHADOW BANNED

Shadow banning is a bit of a harsh spanking, but I've come to see the entire internet as a giant sea of controlled AI traffic, and I'm far from confident there is much I can do to work around this level of deep censorship. Basically, if anything is popular, that's probably because "THEY" want us to see it. Maybe, that is how it's always been, in one form or another, for hundreds of years.

So a question I ended up pondering was: "Is it worthwhile to keep posting content online if barely anyone ever sees it?" And there were two answers to that question, depending on how I looked at it. If I care whether it is seen by anyone, then probably not, but if it is mainly just for my own entertainment, then probably yes.

To just throw content out there, without a care in the world, is more fun really. And like casting a message in a bottle out into the ocean, who knows where it might end up. The important thing is that I need to have no attachment to the outcome. My days of trying to "grow" any sort of audience are clearly over.

USING BLOGGER MAKES THINGS NICE AND SIMPLE

The Blogger platform is fairly well designed. Ignoring the censorship aspects and looking only at how convenient it is for knocking out quick blog posts, it's great in fact. I used to use it way back 20 years ago and it's still my favourite blogging front end. The fact that it hasn't changed for so long is a big part of that convenience. 

Although I hate Google and regard them as the enemy, if I use their Blogger platform (but also do a monthly backup copy of everything I post there, I guess I can have the convenience of a really easy to use daily blogging platform, combined with some level of censorship resistance.

Essentially, my use of the entire internet follows that same pattern. I realise the internet is owned and run by the deep state, but I still find some of it useful, and choose to keep using it despite knowing the deep sate set it up to program us. 

So as I have decided to continue posting stuff online mainly for my own entertainment, the Blogger platform is really handy, even if virtually nobody ever sees my shadowy little www.sift.co.nz  blog. That's too bad, but these days posting online is more like writing a personal diary entry than an onstage performance...


I'M MARCHING TO A DIFFERENT DRUM
 
These days I'm marching to a different drum. Lately I've been coming round to thinking differently about quite a few things.


The alt media is just as fake as the mainstream media because "they" (the globalist/zionist/freemason/illuminati/satanist/bankers) play both sides.

The flows of traffic on the internet are mainly AI, so the hits are mostly imaginary, and popularity is just another illusion that is being used as a mind programming tactic.

All the commentators who appear to be popular are working for the globalist agenda, either promoting the narrative or resisting the narrative, but either way the content is always focusing on the narrative.

I no longer really care what other people think, I mainly care what is going on in my own mind. So if I post anything online, the primary audience is myself. And I no longer going give a toss about hits, or the absence of them, they were probably mostly imaginary anyway, and I'm blogging for an audience of one (me).

My days of doing long blog posts are mostly over, now I feel more inclined to just do short posts with a few pictures. They will probably have more in common with shopping lists than novels.

HOW MANY BLOG POSTS SHOULD I DO?
 
If what I'm posting is more like a bunch of notes than a blog, and the only person reading any of them is myself, why impose strict rules? I just post whatever takes my fancy. That may end up being lots of posts or it may not. Time will tell.


AN ARCHIVE OF MOLDY OLD BLOG POSTS.

Like everyone who has been online since the dawn of time, (the nineties), I have left a trail if old content. Sometimes I think of it as my life's work. But it's time to move on, and the first thing I have to admit is that whatever audience I ever had is mostly long gone.

There are more than 800 old posts on my www.frot.co.nz blog, but I'm not generally reading them myself, and I don't really think anyone else is. Most of the hits on that blog are people (or bots) looking at a few galleries of trannies. Trannies can be a bit of a laugh sometimes, but in all honesty, going on about trannies is probably not my best work.


 And endlessly going on about the covidhoax, or 911, or any other deep state psyops, isn't much better really. My head has been full of all that crap for far too long, I'm long overdue for a mental clear out.

As part of my clear out, I decided to go short and sharp. No more writing long blog posts, no more dicking around on social media or blockchains, and no more watching podcasts, I'm over all of it. If it can't be said in a few lines then we are just endlessly blathering on, and all that long winded verbosity could bore the legs off a donkey.

 To all the people who are just now realizing that he entire narrative is fake, you are starting out on an interesting ride. But I've been on it for over 25 years, and it's time for me to start a new ride. I have attempted to flip my mental switch! 

You can call me Anderson, Greg Anderson...

Who on earth is Greg Anderson and why is he posting things on Facebook?
 
As recently as 2023 I was regularly using five social media platforms, but like any addiction, I wasn’t exactly happy about it, so I finally gave up the lot, and went cold turkey for a month. At the end of the month I was only too pleased to have seen the arse end of four of them, but surprisingly, (and yes, I know it’s deep state), the only one I missed was Facebook.
 
I am a real person, but I update my online identities more often than Firefox changes versions, so I have to use a spreadsheet to remember them all. What I’m looking for on FB is interesting content from like minded people. If you have also come to the conclusion that nearly everything we have been programmed to believe is a lie, then we may be on the same page, so feel free to look me up.

 
I live in Wellington, New Zealand, which I suspect is one of the most libtard cities in the entire world, and have offended more people online over the past two decades than I can shake a stick at. If you are a sensitive petal we are probably not on the same page. But I don’t take all this stuff super seriously on FB, and am more likely to briefly mock earnest woketards than engage in long winded disagreements with them.
