31 MILLION FREE EBOOKS
Anne's Archive is an amazing resource with over 31 million free ebooks online. It is described as the largest truly open library in human history. All their code and data are completely open source, and the way the site is set up pretty much side steps all issues of copyright (they are only sharing download links rather than the books themselves).
It
has 31,603,758 books, and 99,900,496 papers in the database, all
available to download. These include a lot of conspiracy books, some of which are heavily censored and hard to find.
I have been asked how it all works so here are some basic instructions showing how to download eBooks:
I was trying to keep things simple for people new to eBooks and tested some other more basic eBook readers such as Ice Cream reader, but I prefer having all the features of Calibre (which is free anyway) - it's slightly more complex at first but it does everything I want.
For reading books on an Android tablet or phone I use the Read Era app which is really good. It's not set up for all the more complex text editing stuff that Calibre can do, but is great for displaying and reading your eBook collections. Although its not designed for PC use, it apparently can be installed on a windows PC - I'm about to try doing that and instructions for installing it on a Widows PC are here
Having access to 31 million eBooks is pretty amazing, and before you know it, you can have your own vast library.
HOW TO GET A BETTER FACEBOOK FEED
It wasn't until I tried looking at my Facebook feed on my tablet that I realised just what a bunch of crap most people see when they look at Facebook. And that wasn't even using the mobile version! I never look at the internet using a phone but apparently 98% of Facebook users are doing just that.
STEP 1 - Use a computer or laptop, not a mobile phone or tablet.
Usually I look at Facebook on my PC or laptop, either using Windows 7 (Yes I still use Windows 7, but this will work on Win 10 as well) or Linux (I use Linux Zorin or Mint but this would be the same on any distro). It won't work on Android, and I don't know about Apple or Windows 11 because I've never used them.
STEP 2 - Add the Facebook Purity app (aka Fluff Busting Purity or FBP) to your browser - (this doesn't override Facebook's default settings as fully as it used to, and won't lock FB into a chronological feed anymore, but never mind, see step 3). This can get rid of a lot of crap. I go into settings and hide all the right and left sidebar links as well as turning off pretty much everything.

STEP 3 - Get a chronological feed - This is the most essential thing to do with Facebook really, otherwise it is unusable. It's pretty easy to do, but you sometimes have to reset it because FB keeps trying to force your feed back to their controlled algorithm.
Click on the nine little dots icon in the top right to open the Menu, then select "Feeds"
For use on Windows or Linux I highly recommend the Waterfox browser. It's not widely used, but it's really good browser - like a faster version of Firefox with better privacy.
STEP 5 - Ad Blockers. I always use five ad blockers which is probably complete overkill, but they all seem to get along happily together so why not? I'm not really using them for Facebook in particular, they are there to block all advertising. It's probably not really possible to block all the advertising on FB, but I certainly see a lot less "sponsored posts" on my computer than on my tablet. Sometimes I go to the trouble of blocking particular advertisers, but mostly I just ignore them.
The five free ad blockers I use are Adblock Plus, Adblocker for YouTube, Adblocker Ultimate, AdGuard Adblocker, and uBlock Origin
I don't know which of these ad blockers is best so I just install all five of them - when it comes to ads I figure more blocking is better! This review on Techradar ranks uBlock Origin as #1 so I gave it a picture.
THE FINAL SOLUTION - Delete all the numpties. Find like minded friends, and bin any woketards. The days of signing up for Facebook using your real name and linking up with all your relatives and old friends is really over in this day and age in my opinion. I know a lot of people are still into that, but if you have been trying expose the globalist narratives, you probably have learned the shortcomings of that approach over the past five years in particular.
If you exclusively stick to being friends with people who can tell the difference between shit and chewed dates, a FB feed can be surprisingly good. Personally, I have given up arguing with anyone online, and just let any remaining tards of any kind block or unfriend me.

THE STEEPEST STREET IN NEW ZEALAND
Baldwin Street, Dunedin is said to be the steepest street in the world - it probably isn't, but
it is the steepest street in NZ and nearly 20 years ago I walked up it and took some photos. It's pretty
cool, with stairs for footpaths!
PS. It turns out Baldwin St really is he steepest street in the world - some cheeky punks in Wales tried to steal our record but they got slammed!
In the historic town of Harlech, Wales, a steep road briefly held a Guinness World Record. Ffordd Pen Llech held the title of World's Steepest Street in 2019 before being stripped of this claim, the title returning to Baldwin Street in New Zealand after only a year.
In the Guinness World Record survey committee's first analysis, this street was said to have a gradient of 37.45%.3 However, upon review a year later at the request of Baldwin Street representatives, the guidelines of this world record were rewritten to require measurement to be taken from the middle of the road rather than the outside, and Ffordd Pen Llech was given a new official gradient of 28.6%Thursday, 13 June 2024
MY DIGITAL BILLBOARDS
This may not be an effective tactic at all, but it amuses me so I'm going to keep on doing it anyway whether it works or not.
I like playing around with found images, making them into art and memes, as well as editing my own photos and art. So I end up with hundreds of images that mostly end up sitting unseen in folders on my computer.
If I sign them with a whopping great "www.sift.co.nz" URL they become digital billboards for my blog. It's likely very few people will notice them, let alone go to the trouble of typing out the address and actually visiting the blog, but too bad, I think blog posts look better with more images.
They are fairly varied images, but to keep a consistent style I'm doing them all in a 1x1 ratio which I just like the look of.

THERE ARE ALWAYS PLENTY OF CLUES
911 is old news that has been done to death, but just to reiterate, there are always plenty of clues when the deep state are planning a psyop.
The Lone Gunmen first TV episode aired on March 4, 2001. Its title was Pilot. In the show, a computer hacker takes control of a Boeing 727 passenger plane and flies it towards the World Trade Center, with the specific intention of crashing the plane into one of the Twin Towers. It’s only at the very last moment that the Lone Gunmen are able to hack the hacker and avert disaster and death for those aboard the plane and those inside the World Trade Center.
The plot is all the work of a powerful, rogue group buried deep within the world of officialdom. The secret plan, had it worked, was to put the blame for the World Trade Center attacks on one or more foreign dictators who are “begging to be smart-bombed”
The Lone Gunmen was produced by Arnon Milchan, a dual citizen Israeli-American Mossad agent. Milchan also produced The Medusa Touch (1976), which had as its climactic scene an airline flying to a skyscraper. He also produced Fight Club (1999), which had as its final scene the controlled demolition of multiple financial corporation's skyscrapers.

THEIR AI IS UTTER CRAP
As we are now being bombarded with a never ending stream of misinformation, almost nothing we are told by the mainstream or the "alternative" media is true, and we need to rapidly adapt in order to outwit the deep state and their attempts to program us. When they make mistakes we can pounce upon those mistakes and use them to our advantage.
On a platform like YouTube, Google is using AI to create hundreds of millions of fake views, to write millions of comments that are endlessly recycling the previous comments, to promote any videos that push their agendas, and even to create and narrate increasingly crappy videos.
The opportunity to post information exposing the deep state agendas and to mock their short comings on Facebook, the most deep state controlled of all the social media platforms, has never been greater.
And that is because the deep state are LAZY, GREEDY, PSYCHOPATHS who want to use AI to control us. But their AI sucks. That is another reason we can beat them.

SUMMER TIME IN PARIS
This is a desktop wallpaper image of Paris - I wonder if many people notice the chemtrails? Probably not, most normies wouldn't notice if the deep state stuck a needle in them and injected them with poison. Oh yeah...
