I like round numbers so this is pretty cool. By lucky coincidence the hit count on this www.sift.co.nz blog has just hit 200k which fits in nearly perfectly with the end of it's second year.
In the first year (2024) it only racked up 38k hits, but during 2025 things have been slowly picking up speed and it has drawn to a close with more than 162k hits this year, to be on track to comfortably get up well over 200k total hits before the end of 2025.
This seems like a good time to celebrate by posting some crack up pictures!

Throughout the year I've been tossing images into a folder of ideas to do blog posts about. Now that I'm having a big clear out, and planning to make a fresh start next year, I've binned most of them.
But some of them are quite interesting images, even if they won't become blog posts, and I think they would make a good sellection of randoms.
So in no particular order here are some pictures that caught my eye this year:
I've decided that the end of 2025 will also mark the end of my two years daily www.sift.co.nz blogging. Posting something every day has been an entertaining experiment, but now I want to reduce my posting to a more random occurrence.
The truth is, I'm a bit burned out, and even with the blog hits now up well over 1000 on good days, that's still nothing to write home about. Back in the good old days (around 2017) I was getting more than 5000 hits a day, which was more impressive.
But it's not primarily about the hit count, it's more about watching what I essentially think is a giant fake global circus show, and having nothing very productive to say about any of it. I suspect that watching this endless flow of utter bullshit is just making me increasingly negative and cynical.
I used to think exposing psyops was helping to work against them, so that meant I was doing good work. I'm a bit embarrassed to admit now that after more than 20 years "conspiracy" research it's only in the past few years I've started to grasp that the puppet masters are not trying to hide their psyops any more.
On the contrary, they are doing their best to make them blatantly obvious. Back when they did the first fake moon landing in 1969, they were actually doing their best to make it look real. It looked utterly ridiculous, but that wasn't deliberate, they were just really bad at special effects back then.
It created division, between people who believe in official narratives, and people who can see obvious fakes. And that division is a key objective.
All the narratives both official and unofficial, are fake, but I've analysed them to death for decades and I really need to move on. I've already pretty much stopped looking at all media, and all social media too, apart from a quick daily look at Facebook.
But even looking at my Facebook feed of over 1500 "conspiracy theorists" posts in chronological order, pretty much everything on my feed is utter bollocks, and it seems to get more lame and retarded by the day. It's quite depressing to see how little ability even my own FB friends seem to have to differentiate shit from chewed dates. I'm on the brink of just giving up looking at even these last remnants of all the programming inputs. I probably will half heartedly keep a lazy eye on what today's stories are, but I've long since lost interest in most of it, even including posts from the "freedom" and "truther" movements, who seem to have no idea how completely they are being played. I'm hanging out to make a mental shift. I don't even want to wait until the new year, I just want to start right now. As part of that shift I don't even want to tell everyone about what I'm no longer doing, in some big explanatory blog post. I will just aim to quietly change and see how things work out.
The hits on my www.sift.co.nz blog are varying up and down each day from lows of around 500, to highs of over 2000. Much as I like to try to work out the patterns of things, this has got me totally stumped. I'm starting to think it has bugger all to do with what I post and may be the result of larger forces beyond my understanding.
Sort of like religion. So is God is determining how many hits my blog gets?. I wonder if God likes lolpics? It's Sunday today, so as an act of religious devotion directed towards the deity of blogs, I'll post some spiritual lolpics.
