EX-FRIENDS

In the 90's I was co-owner of a small but popular Wellington business. We had hundreds of customers and many of them became friends beyond being customers.

After closing the business down I stayed in contact with lots of them online, and because we had a shared interest in cycling and a bunch of other connections, I often tended to underestimate how large the gulf was growing between myself and many of them in terms of our "World Views".

Up until 911 I had never even thought much in these terms, but some of them were turning into what I would later come to call “libtard normies”, and to them I was becoming what they would later call a “conspiracy theorist”.

After 911 this slowly became an ever increasing problem. On the social media platforms that we interacted on, some exchanges became quite heated and unfriendly.

In fact some of these ex-friends became really angry, to the point of becoming abusive. And from time to time even some of the calmer ones said things like "stop saying X or I will unfriend you”. It’s safe to say I didn't stop saying X and they did unfriend me.

I disagree with lots of people about all sorts of things, but I wouldn't usually demand that anyone changed their opinion to match mine online. At least I wouldn’t generally have done that up until convid, but after that epic storm in a teacup, if they were a vaxtard or a masktard, I would relatively politely tell them they were a clueless moron and stop interacting with them.

For me this threatening to unfriend posturing was rare up until 911, but it increased after that massive false flag, and then it started increasing further when I began posting about fake germ theory and the lies of virology during the SARS hoax. Then the number of angry reactions started to grow.

But that was all insignificant compared to the shit storm of the covid hoax. Around 2020 there were all sorts of believers stalking around the internet looking to make ex-friends online, and in real life there were plenty more of them out looking to stir up trouble as well.

Like most people who were aware of what was going on during the big plandemic, I knew that I was outnumbered by a herd of angry mind controlled zombies, so I politely said things like "I have an exemption" whenever I was harassed in public for not wearing a face nappy.

These days I'm well past using “exemption” excuses, so I probably won't be that polite next time around if any believers ask me to submit to the face nappy again.

What got me revisiting all this old negativity again was seeing someone online lamenting the fact that not one of their ex-friends had ever apologized to them for being wrong or even admitted that they were wrong.

At the same time they were also noticing that they had seen many of them posting that it was all water under the bridge and it was time to forgive and move on.

I wonder how long it took the French people to forgave Nazi collaborators after WW2 ended? Had they “moved on” by 1951?

Although I often struggle with it, I do grasp the importance of forgiving and letting go, so I usually try not to be too unpleasant to delusional mind controlled normies, but that is mainly for my own mental health.

No, I don't think I'll ever really forgive them, but as far I know I no longer have any friends who are still full on convid believers. If I do that could become awkward because I regard believers as gullible idiots. So in my eyes they have no real credibility about anything else either.

Sometimes there is discussion of society being divided in two in order to make us easier to control, and that is certainly happening. I guess we could just pretend to have forgiven and moved on, but the convid believers exposed their true colours for everyone to see and that can never really be undone.

When the next wave of psyops start (and many already have) the normies will fall for them hook line and sinker again. Would you buy a car that was blowing smoke and making a clunking noise?

No, people are not all equal, and gullible normies are best avoided. That may not be the best path to be on socially or even psychologically, but it's what I really think.

Apologies here to Louise Hay, I'm not writing this as spiritual guidance, but mainly for anyone else who like me, probably won't be forgiving those clueless convid clowns until hell freezes over.
 

Thanks and best wishes to all my old friends who didn't fall for the last wave of globalist lies and are still friends to this day. Stay strong for the next wave!

ASIAN AI DUDE

"Asian AI dude" is the most prolific AI content generator in Youtube history, and "he" is doing Iran as well as silver and cryptos now - this AI content generator is knocking out over 30 videos a day on multiple channels - watch "his" eyes blink - yet more AI slop - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJR9NN07JJM

Sometimes it's hard to tell if it's AI... 😁 But sometimes it isn't...

 

I NEED TO QUIT

Seeing an endless stream of fake AI driven fudporn every day is really unhealthy.

I've already given up most "social media" but until now have still been regularly looking at Facebook, YouTube, and some of the blogroll posts on this www.sift.co.nz blog.

But the 2026 online fictional universe is a whole new level of mindfuck. Almost none of this crap is real, it's all just a never ending script designed to crush our will to live.

If I ask myself the question "Is seeing this good for me?" the honest answer is almost always a resounding "NO". So why am I still looking at it? Mainly because I'm addicted to it. Can I overcome my addiction? YES!. 

This year I plan to very nearly quit ALL social media. As far as my SIFT blog goes, I will post whatever I feel like, whenever I feel like it, and not give a toss if anyone else looks at it. It will be the only online posting I do, and if I don't feel like posting anything I won't. 

Facebook can sometimes be a handy way to catch up with a massive collection of online friends, but even viewing it with a chronological feed, most of the content that is being shared is AI generated fudporn designed to generate emotional reactions. 

Paddling around in a sea of fake online sewage is not healthy. 

 

And while Youtube has some cool music videos and some useful content, it has now devolved to the point of being about 90% AI generated garbage. YouSlop...

So as well as continuing to avoid all social media I'm going to keep limiting my time on those two sites to a maximum of 15 minutes a day using the StayFocusd extension.

When I originally posted the following in May 2020 I was doing my best to not be dragged down by fudporn, but the truth is the damn stuff is pretty addictive and in 2026 I need to remind myself again…

FUDPORN IS DOING NONE OF US ANY GOOD

A message to my fellow “conspiracy theorists” – mainstream FUDPORN (Fear Uncertainty & Doubt) is constantly programming the masses to believe that the end is nigh. 

And lots of us do get that part. But another aspect to FUDPORN is choosing to constantly focus on the evil plan. I have been part of that mindset myself for years. But what does exposing it and focusing on it really achieve?

 Clearly the sheeple don’t believe a word we say, as they have been fully programmed by the media and by all the crap they look at all day on their “smart” phones

Meanwhile many of us “conspiracy theorists” have been reduced to a position of being nearly defeated before we start, staring down the barrel of a plan so cunning and run by people so evil that we sometimes argue about whether they are even human, as we are constantly being told how rich, how evil, and how cunning this enemy is.

If they are really that cunning, they are certainly cunning enough to be running the “alt” media as well as the mainstream media, and making sure shills like Alex Jones get lots of attention. Play both sides is a key tactic, along with divide and conquer – we know that, yet for some reason we believe “alt media” is telling us some secret truth while “mainstream media” lies.

But “play both sides” doesn’t work like that. It fills the heads of both sides with utter shit while doing something completely different while we are all distracted.

Have we become our own worst enemies, constantly focusing on how totally fucked we are because “they” are so powerful? Why are alt media sites constantly going on about police brutality, state oppression, forced vaccinations, 5G rollout, race riots, and endless other variations of “you are fucked”? 

Even if all these things are taking place, relentlessly talking about them will not stop them happening.

Every time we are told “this is how it is now” we are not being informed, we are being programmed and beaten into submission. Maybe this moment in time is a turning point, and how we evolve right now determines the lesson we learn next.

We can only change ourselves, the sheeple will do what they will, and so will any evil satan worshiping pedophiles who run everything. But do they really? – or are they just using “alt media” to tell us they do, when in reality they are a bunch of fading old farts, terrified of losing their power as the world evolves.

That may or may not be true, but if one belief keeps us in a state of fear, and one gives us hope and power, why not choose the empowering one? We can choose to believe we are fucked, or we can choose to believe this is our chance to move forward. Because it might be, but it certainly won’t be if we keep believing all the stories saying how fucked we are.

Right now is the time to give this a shot – watching fudporn (wherever it stems from) has not been working for us.

“FUD is an age-old manipulation tactic intended to create knee-jerk reactions instead of intellectual reasoning. Used by politicians, advertisers, and sales people since nearly the dawn of time, it’s more successful than it should be. Instil fear in the audience, and they will need, not want, to do as you instruct”

WHAT ARE FACEBOOK UP TO?

All this year my Facebook account has been slowly but consistently picking up more friends, and there has been more feedback on my posts too. While I am getting regular unfriendings from "truthers" for speaking out about what I think are obvious psyops, like the fake Charlie Kirk shooting, my total number of friends has kept climbing all year, and has just gone past 1500. 

A lot of the accounts on Facebook are clearly fake, and a lot of the friend requests that I'm getting look to me to be from really obvious, badly done AI account knock ups. But I'm deleting those ones and only friending people who I actually think are real. So 1500 FB friends is quite a solid number really. 

 Facebook is deep state and I'm sure they know what they are up to. Can we ever beat them at their own game? I'm far from certain, but I must admit I'm getting curious. 

They now seem to be letting us post just about anything we want to, and have totally backed off the censorship this year. I'm sure they have tricks up their sleeve, but at this stage, I'm game for a crack at this.

 

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 year. I have had no problems with it, apart from the confusion of needing to set up a seperate account for each device. 

 

It won't install on Windows 7, which is only an issue for around 3% of desktop users these days, but I've found it works really well on Linux.

 

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.
